Birmingham has tried to keep
the races apart by setting up
special NNegro and white COM
munities to be separated by So
called buffer shopping areas in
which neither race may set up
residence.
The North Smithfield area first
gained prominence locally and ma
tionally when white hoodlums
bombed the homes of Negroes last
March. Since then other Negroes
have moved into the area, recent
ly zoned for whites although sold
to Negroes before the coming.
So far they have refused to
move from this area despite
threats and attacks. They are bas-

Approximately 100 16 to 49,
year-old girls, 1bred and white,
representing Gn Guide and Scout
organizations in North, Central
and South America, will camp to-
gether in pioneer style in Manis-
tee National Forest, 25 miles
north of Muskegon, Mich, from
July 10 to August IL. Sleeping
in tents and cooking over outdoor
stoves, they will combine the
Guides and Scouts natural love
for the out-of-doors with practice
of their belief in international
friendship.
Conference sessions, subjects of
which have already been chosen
by the campers, will cover such
relevant issues as race relations
and standards of living in the ar
ious contries represented. The
girls will talk, too, about boy and
girl relations, social customs and
family life in their countries.
Deeply interested in their own
movement, which is world wide in
scope, the girls will exchange in
formation on Guiding and Girl
Scouting in the countries or areas
from which they come. They will
consider especially the projects
which they, as Guides and Scouts,
can undertake to further under
standing and friendship among
people of different nationalities,
races and religion.
Other events scheduled for the
three weeks international gather
ing include dramatics, crafts and
folk dancing and singing. Repre-
sentatives from several Latin
American countries have volun-
teered to teach their national folk
dances to fellow campers.
Western hemisphere countries
and possessions from which Guides
or Girl Scouts will come are

These proposed civil rights laws
are not only for the benefit Of

Establishing equal rights will raise

Of the fearful need of keeping
their jobs, we would do away with
most discrimination in employ
ment.
Everybody believes that we can
produce more when each man

best suited to do. And if we could
all think first of making the most

enjoyment of what we produce
there would be little drive to dis
criminate.
Our economy problems r diff

night either by revolution, as the
Russians have learned, or by some
panacea or other. We cannot,
overnight, produce the kind OF
economy that will distribute both
jobs and goods according to JUS
tice so that every worker ear be
concerned with the optimum pro-
duction knowing he won't work
himself out of a job and knowing
that he will benefit by that pro-
duction.
. While working toward an econ
omy like that, we cannot simply
pass over the problem of job dis
elimination, saying it will be
solved when the economy is per-
fected. The problem of discrimin-
alton is a grievous one now, and
must be solved now.
1t is more than the loss of pro-
duction that we must fear from
unfair employment practices. 1t
is a poison more deadly than de-
creased production. .
This foul. practice of refusing

Tully said Mr.. Roosevelt insisted
on that.
Mr.. Kahn pointed out that
opening the papers so soon after
Mr.. Roosevelt'S death is almost
without precedent. He recalled
that the Hoover papers are not
open to the general public, that
those of Presidents Wilson and
Coolidge may not be consulted
without the consent of the widows
of the two men and that the con-
sent of the Theodore Roosevelt
and William Howard Taft families
is necessary for the inspection of
their papers. The same still is
> true even of the John Quincy
Adams papers.
There will be, of necessity. many
gaps in the record in the Frank
lin Roosevelt papers. Mr.. Roose-
velt transacted much of his busi-
ness in face-to-face conversations.
Probably there were many de-
cisions unrecorded and orders not
reduced to writing During the
war there was so little time.
That some Of the gaps in the
record are closed is due to Miss
Tully. She has a consciousness
of history. as she disclosed in
her book, "F. d. r. My Boss" It
is an informal account of Mr..
Roosevelt in the White House, but
it contains information Of his
torical Importance.
When she became Mr.. Roose-
velt's personal private secretary in
mid-1941, she realized, she said,
that many things were being done
without any record being made.
One of the results of her moves to
correct this was that cabinet off,
GERS with projects to lay before
the President provided copies Of
their documents for the White
House files and Miss Tully entered
the Presidents decisions.
Another important and intense
ly interesting addition to the
Roosevelt story is Mrs. Roosevelt's S
This I Remember" It gives in
sight into her role as scout and
reporter for her husband. Affairs
of state took precedence over hu-
man family relations. Not the
least in interest Is Mrs. Roose-
velt's account of the difficulties Of
bringing up q family in the Gov
ernor's Mansion In Albany and in
the White House, where the sons
had to make appointments when
they wanted to consult their

Illuminating Many
Events of the War

On the American side there Is
no book this year to equal Robert
Sherwood's Roosevelt and Hop
kins." The many occasions on
which it continues to be cited tes-
titles to its value.
Three recent books discuss the
war in the air and are by men
supremely qualified to do so. One
is by Gen. Henry H. Arnold, who
commanded our Air Force. An
other is by Gen. George c. Ken
ney, who started from a shoe
string in the Pacific and. with
Imagination and determination,
built up an invincible striking
power in the air.
The third is Mai. Gen. Claire
Lee Chenault's book. Way of a
Fighter" He is a great air COM
mander. That he did not under
stand the social forces at work in
Asia does not detract from his
ability as a soldier.
The Navy's operations in the
Pacific are well represented by
Prof. Samuel Eliot Morison's
fourth volume of the history of
the Navy's operations he is writing
with the official blessing of the
Navy. This volume. Coral Sea.

against Japan and ends all ques-
ton that it was the Navy's vic
tory and not triumph of land
based planes. The book is that
of a scholar of independent judg-
ment and thoroughly familiar
with his subject.
For an important chapter in
the wartime diplomacy OF the
coalition against Germany, read
Roosevelt and the Russians" by
Edward r. Stettinius, jr., whose
untimely death came just before
the recent publication Of his
work.
For the diplomacy that preceded
the war there are two good books.
From the point of view of West
ern Europe there is Andre Fran
co.'s Poncet's 'The Fateful
Years." The author was Frances
Ambassador to Germany and
Italy in the nine years before the
shooting started. He understood
Hitler and saw what was COM
ing. The tragedy Is that the end
result of his service was no dif-
ferent from the result Of the serv-
ice of Sir Neville Henderson, the
British Ambassador in Berlin, who
understood what he saw not at
all. The countries of both men
did not want their eyes opened.
On the All-Important
Question of Russia
The Eastern Europe story is told
by Max Beloff in the second vol
ume of his study Of 1.-THE Foreign
Policy of Soviet Russia" 1t takes
the events from 1886 to Hltier's
invasion Of Russia. @
On the all-important question
of Russia, also, there are two
biographies which. perhaps by
appropriate coincidence. appeared
almost simultaneously. They are
Isaac Deutscher's political biog-
raphy Of Stain and Hans Won
Eckhardt's "Ivan the Terrible"
Mr.. Deutscher'S book fills q
need, for there has been no ade-
auate biography of Stain since
Boris Souvarin's 10 years ago.
Both Stain and Ivan built up
totalitarian states. both used the
purge as an instrument Of state
craft. One should not carry the
parallel too far, however. It Is
doubtful any one ever called Ivan
"Uncle Ivan" But. Of course. it Is
doubtful that any one closer to
Stain than a couple of thousand
miles ever called him Uncle Joe. y
Many Books on the Civil War
Appeared During the Year
Surprisingly. there were almost
as many books this year on the
American Civil War and its figures
as on the more recent struggle
There may be several explana-
tions for this interest, which is Of
a number of years standing. Ger
tainly, the scholars the South il
producing is one. But it may bs
also a desire to escape from the
contemplation of mechanized ant
total warfare to the last great wal
