Study Reveals Negroes
Better Producers In
InFeFroeiuI SURROUNDINGS

JEFFERSON CITY, MO.--Wil-
liam L. Crump, graduate Of Lin
coin University (Mo.), is the au-
thor Of a recently released grad
uate study at Northwestern Uni
versity which reveals that both
employers and employees believe
Negroes are better producers in
interracial rather than segregat-
ed work units.
Under the direction of Albert
C. Fries, associate professor Of
business education at Northwest
ern, Crump interviewed employ
ers and employees in 10 compa-
MES employing white and Negro
workers for the data. The study
also included a treatment Of Is
exclusively Negro establishments.
To many observers, Crump's
study indicates that competition
between the two races serves to
stimulate proficiency and person
al endeavors.

FAMILY INCOME UP
~ PER CENT SINCE I947

WASHINGTON, D. C. - The
government estimated recently
that family income in 1913 rose
to a medium of $500, but only
$4,000 remained, after federal in
come taxes were deducted.
The 194S level was almost IA
per cent, or $500 above the 1917
medium of $2,92O, according to
the Federal Reserve Board sur
vey.

good assist from the ensemble.
Less punchier Is part 2, but some
good solo pointing Is heard via
guitar and tenor sax.
Personally, / have nothing
against artists who copy the style
of another artist, but 1 do think
that they could develop a style
Of their own. The Five Scamps on
Columbia label are good - very
good, but on one disc you hear an
Ink Spot-ter and a Rayen-ite.
Tunes are FINE LIKE WINE,
medium tempoed shuttle rhythm,
where Basso James Whitcomb
sounds like the Ravens James
Kicks; and HOW NICE, in slower
tempo with sentimental lyrics.
On the latter side, Tenor Earl
Robinson makes like the Ink
Spots Bill Kenny.

DUsfiH' fbo Blues

0o9EAW NuD Dt0@4
Let's take a look at the current
blues offerings and see what we
have. Victor, Columbia, MGM and
Exclusive--aIl have some nice
items which should excite even
those who do not especially care
for them. All are not blues in the
strictest sense Of the word. Some
are what I like to call ''indigoed
tints'' - delicate, Hght-hearted
blues.
For example, MGM's lone offer
ing Is that done by Ivy willis
with instrumental assist. Ivy
takes a steady-moving, bouncy
HEN-PEcRED PAPA, which has
a set Of clever and humorous ly-
RIGS with just q hint Of the blues.
The rhythm section backing her
gives nice support, especially the
piano. Backing is you TURNED
YOUR BACK ON ME, q vehicle
on which Ivy walls and shouts
the blues.
On Victor label, a couple Of
vets get away nicely on their re-
spective pairs. There's T-Bone
Walker with his guitar. Blues is
T-Bones business and he shows 1t
on the side called LONG LOST
LOVER BLUES. A wicked house,
rent-party piano, muted trumpets
plus guitar and other ork sidemen
give body to T-Bone's plant.

WHITE: REPLIES 10 SENATOR COLLINS AND SUPPORTERS OF SENATE BILL k0. B

Senator Collins: You are quoted as stating that the regular Republi- can Party in Alaska holds it's meet ngs in warehouses and cellars, which of course you know is NOT TRUE, fer we lield convention of ,he Republican Party at Anchorage, Alaska in I945. You all were sin- sitad tC come Nene of you showed up. In l943, before the Regular Republican Party could hold a .ccnycation you and your support CTS called Republican convention aV Mount Mckinley Park Was this irregular, Senator? Was this prop CT place to hold it? Was 1t not a little cut of the way with three trains a week?
 We did go to sitka, Alaska, to hold our convention. It was the sormer capital of Alaska, has a good aotel. and about 300 times the pep ulation of AEt. Mckinley Park, where you called an Illegal convention.
 The National Republican Com mittee, as well as the Democratic, has it's rules. We must abide sy them. Senate Bill No. 38 is a vio- lation of these rules.
 We have affidavits that papers made the call for our conventions. VIZ. lov,a o;nnoJ yaooiptc of tho y,oct master that the Fairbanks Republi- can Club received our call for 8 convention, as well as Nome. and other sections. Why you did not come is not the fault of the .Regu- lar Party. The National Party felt that our case, that you people had .done nothing for the party but run for office.-Was sustained time and time again. How about the secret meeting held at the house of Thelma Engstrom q few weeks ago? WERE THE REPUBLICANS INVITED? No, they were not! Only select few, and senator, this meeting was not advertised.
 The Republicans did not know it was being held; only these contact ed-about l6 of special group. And at this meeting. Senator, was not Captain A. E. Lathrop endorsed for Republican National Ccm,nit- teeman? You ought to know the rules of both parties provide that in case of vacancy. the Central Committee shall fill the vacancy. Do you know this?
 Did you know that no Eskimo or Native of Alaska was invited, al- though they have representative in the Senate and House? Do you know that I am getting letters from Young Republicans of the Fairbanks Col lege wishing to organize the Fourth Divisicn, to correct the abuse of in- toleratle conditions they say exist under present Republican setup of the Fourth Division?

LONDON, Dec. 15.-Britain is
pressing the United States and
Canada to help launch a giant
new aid program for the Middle
East and Southern Asia, a re-
sponsible British source reported
today. He said the idea has come
up "in the most general terms" at
top-secret, three-power talks now
going on in Washington.
The three-fold aim Of such a
project was said to be:
/. To save these strategic,
potentially-rich regions from the
spread of Communism.
2. To help Western Europe
mainly Britain-close its debit gap
between dollar buying and dollar
spending.
8. To take off Britain some OF
the load she claims she's carrying
in paying off the wartime sterling
debts, accumulated by countries
like India, Pakistan, Egypt and
Iraq.

called the name Of Charlie Lee,
81, colored, of the 1000 block OF

He had no reason to doubt that
the man who emerged from the
cell was Lee, the officer said.

Britain Has A-BoInb,
London Paper Hints
By the Associated Press

LONDON, Dec. 15.-The Daily
Mirror gave its readers the i'm
preston today that Britain has
produced an atomic bomb.
The mass circulation tabloid, said
in an unattributed, undated article
by it's atomic affairs writer, Ronald
Bedford:
"Britain's atomic weapon, which
our scientists have been develop
ing for more than two years, will
not be tried out at the forthcom-
ing test of American super-atom
bombs" d,
There was no confirmation from
any other source Of the inference
that Britain already has an atomic
weapon.
Government ministers. ques-
toned frequently on the subject
lin the House of Commons, have
refused consistently to give any
hint as to whether British re-
searchers have succeeded in max
ing atomic weapons.
Mr.. Bedford noted that Defense
Minister A. v. Alexander. in May.
1948, said atomic weapons were
being developed" here.
The Ministry of Supply, which
controls atomic research, refused
to confirm or deny the Mirror
story.
IF people write stories like
that" said a ministry spokesman,
why should we be drawn into
making q statement"
