Because of the over-crowding IN

gro children to be placed in schools
formerly used by the Whites.
Last week the Orleans Parish

court fight was in the making.

National Records Co
Says Discard
Race Appelation

NEW YORK - (ANP) - A. B.
Green, president of National Records
is calling upon the recording indus
try to rid itself of the term race
in describing recordings made by
Negro artists. Green asserts that an
industry whose product represents
the denial of undemocratic thinking
can hardly afford to tolerate the
setting-up of artificial barriers to the
enjoyment and creation of music.
Mr. Green maintains that the re-
cording industry prides itself on its
role as a powerful democratic force
in our cultural development. Yet,
paradoxically it fails to cast aside
the harmful policy Of designating
popular tunes recorded by Negro
artists as race music.
The term is a primitive misnomer,
barking back to the infant days Of
recording.
AS an example, Mr.. Green cites
his own National label, which fea-
lures such artists as, The Ravens,
Billy Eckstine and many other art
lists. The best solution Mr.. Green can
offer to the entire problem is to in
clude all music in the popular cate
CORY since this term can apply to
all types Of music. Some people like
jazz, others classical and some even
consider hill-billy to be the most
popular type of music.

Mrs. Beatrice Robinson, presi

though they are brown"
Mrs. Robinson revealed herself
as having loaned the school board
500 when it was broke. She asked
that the deplorable conditions at the
school he eliminated.
See these toll worn hands," she
asked the school officials. 'They
got this way from working hard
and long so l can give my children
the decent life l didn't have"
my children are clean and heal
thy. l teach them to be that way.
You White people want us to clean
out these Negro slums and the Lord
knows we're trying to do that. We're
trying to build decent homes, but
we need your help. You've got to
give us decent schools so we can
make good citizens. We are brown,
but have to live among you and
work for you. We want to do this in
diligently and decently."
The PTA president complained
that there are only four toilets at
the school which has 1000 children.
She said it was her understanding

would involve making pupils walk to
the cafeteria at a nearby Negro ele-
mentary school.

what will the children do?

do that. So we just are wondering
why is it we cannot have these

Introduction Of
eva Legislation
UP to Magnuson
By DARWIN j. FLAKOLL

washington S1a11 correspondent
The administrations long-await-
ed Columbia Valley Authority bill
made its debut this week in
Washington, D. c., as Cong. Hugh
Mitchell D-Wash) entered the
bill in the house following receipt
of a message by President Tru-
man recommending the bill.
On the senate side, Senator
Warren G. Magnuson D-WashO
will probably introduce the legis-
lation during this next week.
The administration has made at
least one concession to eva crit.
les who have loudly held out for
some sort of local control over the
valley development plan. The bill
will provide that two of the three
administrators shall be residents
of the Columbia Valley area.
Proponents of the bill argue that
there is limit to the concessions
which can be made to local inter-
ests in setting up a federal execu-
tive agency. H..
Still in doubt at this writing Is
.ae matter Of which committees
Il the house and senate to which
IVA will be referred. The public
!, works committees on both sides
I; appear to be best bets. The aeci-
sion, of course, will be made by
Speaker Sam Rayburn and Vice
President Alben Barley, but so
far, neither of them has. tipped his
hand. ....
On the house side, the eva bill
could conceivably go to public
works, public lands, or to the COM
mittee on expenditures in the ex-
ecutive department.
On the senate side, the decision
as to committees may prove more
delicate. Valley authority bills, ac-
cording to precedent, have been
referred to the Senate Public
Works committee, of which Sena-
tor Dennis Chavez D-N. Mexo is
chairman.
Chavez, however, has recently
sounded lukewarm about the val
ley authority concept. He took the
opportunity, in addressing last
weeks rivers and harbors confer
ence, to praise and defend the CT
vii functions of the army engin-
GERS.
He told the audience that the
detectives of IVA and the Mis-
souri, Pick-Sloan inter-agency de-
|velopment plan are the same and
that he wanted ito give any APP
proach fair look
Congress being what it is, sup
porters of any certain piece of le-
gislation find it extremely diff
cult to get prompt or favorable ac-
ton unless the committee chair
man is ''sold' on the bill. Reliable
sources say Chavez has determin-
ed to give priority to considera-
ton of the proposed Missouri VAL
ley authority over eva. An eight
man public works subcommittee
is already conducting hearings on
MVA.
Another reason why eva en-
thusiasts would prefer to keep the
bill away from public works is be-
cause of the political rivalry >be-
tween Senator Magnuson and his
colleague Senator Harry Cain
who is senior minority member of
the senate public works commit
tee. Apparently Magnuson feels
that Cain would take advantage of
his strategic position to make po-
litical capital of the bill.
Other possibilities are that the
bill could 60 to the Interior and
Insular affairs or to expenditures
in the executive department. The
best logical case could be made for
referral to expenditures group, ac-
cording to parliamentary experts.
