That the College Is considered
an unqualified success by all who
have come in contact with it Whe-
Their as students, instructors, or as
observers is commentary on the
OrganizatiOnal ability of the
Swedes. 1t was through the eff
forts of three Swedish institutions,
The Swedish-American Founda-
ton, the University of Stockholm,
and the Swedish Institute that the
College was first set up.
The spark-plugs of the original
committee were a huge Swede,
Ole Lamm, who had served for Is
years as the Swedish Consul-Gen-
eral in New York City, and beau
tiful, grey-haired lady, Fru Adele
Heilborn, the director of the Swed-
ish-American Foundation. Both of
them were deeply interested in
making it possible for Americans
to study in Sweden. Their enthu-
siasm was infectious, the support
of educators and government Of
ficials was secured, and the plans
went ahead. The American-Scan-
dinavian Foundation in New York
City donated its services for the
dissemination of publicity in the
States, handled initial correspon-
dence, and made the primary
screening of prospective students.

The girl, who only a few
weeks ago never dreamed of
winning or entering the Seat
tie Lucia Bride contest, flash

thought she couldn't win the Sc

going through the whole busy rOu-

much more exciting variety rs Lu-

Lucia has had an exciting time,
but she'll probably have the time
of her life before she gets through

too-busy spreading good will and
cheer with a smile that makes
people stop, look and listen, when
ever she speaks.
Makes Many Appearances
She has appeared on two radio
programs, The Boat-Pullers. a fish
ermen's program and Ruth and
Dicks Show on KOMO, and has
cured many a heart ailment among
patients in hospitals, including
Ballard General Hospital. Marine
Hospital and other places. In one
hospital she appeared in her Lucia
gown and crown with two choir
boys, clad in robes and holding
candles. She sang Santa Lucia"
which is nearly always sung when
Lucia brides make public appear

She has been guest at various

Klein Asks Truman
To Act on Playground
Racial Segregation

The question OF racial segrega-
ton on the Fairgrounds in the
District was taken to the White
House yesterday by Representative
Klein, Democrat, of New York.
Mr.. Klein, In a letter to Presi-
dent Truman, called attention to
the fact that the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
has a master recreation plan for
the District which designates
white and colored Fairgrounds.
The New York Democrat. who
is the sponsor of a bill to end
segregation in the District, has
charged that the planning COM
mission has exceeded its authority
in drawing up such master plan
for Fairgrounds here on racial
basis. Mr.. Klein said the plan
ming commission is a land pur-
chasing agency and has no power
to determine the racial policy of
the Fairgrounds. He said that
the District Recreation Depart
ment uses as a reason it must
maintain segregated Fairgrounds
the excuse that it must follow the
plan of the commission.
Grant Letters Are Cited.
Mr.. Klein's letter said the Pres
idcnt probably would be interested
in the planning commissions mas
te:' plan since the President has
a declared policy against segrega-
ton.
The letter also pointed out that
Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant, III, would
be coming up for reappointment
as head of the commission on
April 80 and suggested that his
reappointment "be given careful
consideration"
Included with the letter were
copies of correspondence between
Mr.. Klein and Gen. Grant relat-
ing to the planning commission S
master recreation plan. This cor
respondence started last October
and ended last month when MIR.
Klein demanded that Gen. Grant
remove Immediately the white and
colored designations of play
grounds on the master plan.
In answering letters, Gen. Grant
stated the commission did not as
sumo authority to establish any
policy whatever in relation to seq
regatioon. But. the commission
did adopt in 1880 a master plan
for Fairgrounds which has colored
and white designations. he added.
Gen. Grant told The Star last
week that he intended to do moth
ing about Mr.. Klein's request that
the, plan drop the colored and
white designations since he be-
lieves it is not a matter for the
commission to settle.

"Lost Boundaries" A
Picture Worth SEEING

Louis DeRochemont's production
of "Lost Boundaries" now show
ing at the Loew's Theater is a
picture which should be seen by
everyone in Dayton, Negro and
white. 1t is the story Of a problem
which has vexed many light-skin-
ned Negroes for many decades. In
fact, the idea for the story grew
from the real life experience of
a New England doctor and his
wife who found the path to success
monetary success, that isl fraught
with a lot fewer pitfalls by the
convenience of merely c%oncealing,
so to speak, their racial identity
(Which in America would tab them
as Negro because they possess a
The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1949-10-28

slight strain of Negro character
istics.)
The very title, Lost Boundaries,
suggests a barrier which to be
sure exists, but not because of any
fundamental differences between
a human being classified as white
and one classed as colored. It ex-
lists only in the minds of men,
kept there by evil men who make
a tremendous profit out of race
hate. This chauvinistic idea that
there really is a difference is the
main objection that this reviewer
holds against the picture.
Actually, as every informed in
dividual knows, there is absolute
ly no such thing as "white blood"
or Negro blood" There r A
known types of blood known to
medical science and the 4 types
are found among all humans
whether they be white, black, yell
low, whether they be American,
Hottentot, Javanese or Scandin-
avian. Skin color is determined by
skin fermentation. This is super
ficial for it varies not only between
races, but even among persons in
the same race. Hair texture is an
other superficial difference.
Starring in "Lost Boundaries"
are Beatrice Pearson and Me
Ferrer. Also Susan Douglas and
the veteran, Canada Lee. Richard
Hylton is the discovery Of the
picture. Miss Pearson was no ball
of fire in her role but Mr.. Ferrer
did a commendable job, as did
MI. Lee. But by far the star of
the film is Richard Hylton who
| plays the roleof the son who, as
the streamers say, ''lived a lie for
twenty years."
The picture is highly recon-
mended. 1t surpasses "Home of
the Brave. in almost every re-
spect.
