When nOn-segregation went into
effect, many of the townspeople
of Biloxi boycotted the dances
and sports events of the air base.
Now, however, they have accept
ed the policy on the base, but not
in the town.
The only recreation which the
Negro airman can find off base
is a number of sO-called clubs in
the Negro section. These clubs,
for the most part, are combined
tayerns, pool rooms, restaurants
and ..- houses. The upshot
is that Negroes increasingly seek
their recreation on base where
they have day rooms, service
clubs, athletic contests, libraries,
swimming pools and dances avail
able for them" Kenworthy said.
Last Armistice Day, the city
requested Keesler Base to add its
entire complement to the holiday
parade. The base did this and
subsequently received complaints
because Negroes marched in their
units with white airmen. In re-
SPONGE to these complaints, the
commander at Keesler said that
henceforth the town would have
to put on its own parades because
the Negroes were properly a part
of those units and would not be
segregated.
Kenworthy said the quiet So
cial revolution" within the armed
forces is gradually influencing
racial relations throughout the
nation. 1T was the opinion of
some officers" he said, that this
program could not but have an
effect, eventually, on civilian at
titudes: that it was impossible for
a white boy to live and work be-
side a Negro in basic training
and in the technical schools with
out some real change taking
place in his attitude toward race
and racial equality"
Last week, when John p. Davis,
publisher of Our World magazine
opened an exhibition of 300
on the activities of
Air Force Negroes, Secretary
johnson said: Time will show
that the Presidents Order ito
end segregation) meant what it
said. Time will show that the De-
partment of Defense has, l hope,
intelligently implemented that
Order"
The Executive order was issued
Two years ago. The Army hah
taken two steps in the right dir
ection this year. In January, the |
Army revised its policy govern
ing utilization of Negro man
power declaring that all training
and jobs for enlisted and officer
personnel would be administered
on an equal merit basis, without |
regard to race or color. Last
month, the Army dropped the |
quota system which had restrict
ed Negro enlistments to only 10 |
percent of the total force. But the
Army is far behind the Air Force
and the Navy in carrying out the
full meaning of President TrI-
mans ultimatum to enforce fair
racial policies. The costly and in
efficient policy of segregated
mess and recreational
facilities that breeds discrimina-
ton and prejudice are stin a part
Of the Army pattern. 1t is hoped
that within the next month the
Committee on Equality oe Treat
ment and Opportunity in the
Armed Services, established un.
der the Executive Order and
headed by Charles Fahy Will pre-.
sent the President with evidence
that viii convince his military
leaders that there should be a
democratic policy for all defend
ers of democracy.

IT'S GOOD TO KNOW that human ingenuity now
has answer to the question of Mnnesotas iron
future. Out Of taconite can come not only fine iron
ore but new jobs, business and continuing tax
revenue for the state.
And as Mr.. Madsen suggests, Minnesota people
can help bring about this big tacOnite production
program They can help if they understand just
what the iron ore industry Is up against I. =.
It's up against the problem Of investing hundreds
of millions of dollars in gigantic taconite
manufacturing plants. Unlike diminishing
high grade ores, taconite and low grade
must be elaborately processed before they're any
good to anybody.
It's up against far higher production costs Ex-
ample it takes ttoice the manpower to turn out
ton of taconite concentrate, versus a ton Of high
grade ore from open-pit mne
It's up against taxes far sitter than YOU might
imagine. The iron industry now pays occupa-
ton and royalty taxes at 12qo rate. While this
would appear to be only twice the rate of the
Minnesota, the occupation tax law does not permit
the deductions allowed under the income tax law
Hence the actual comparative burden is much
greater. And iron ore property taxes are assessed
at rate much sleeper than other Minnesota
property owners pay.
Knowing this, you can understand why the present
producers Of iron in this state are concerned about
whether they'll be able produce taconite ore cheap
~ enough to compete with foreign iron ore.
You can also understand why Mr.. Madsen indi.
Gates that the attitude of Minnesota will affect
the future of the iron industry. By giving this
industry the same kind Of treatment other Mime
sofa industries get-by setting up a stable, rea-
sonabe ore tax polcy-the people of this state can
actually do themselves real favor!
Why we publish these facts
We Of the iron industry want to stay In Mime.
sota-permanently.
We want to insure the future Of Minnesota's iron
ore wealth by investing the millions Of dollars needed
TO hasten development Of grade and taconite ores
We want to help make 1t possible for the people Of
Minnesota to enjoy even greater benefits from this
expanded industry-both In dollars and tobs-for
many generations to come.
We publish these facts so that no matter who Won
are where you live, or what you do for living you
may rest assured that

| are checked into these new items.
But a word of caution; shortages
in favorites are anticipated be-
cause of the huge increase in chill
dren of toy age.
Accent On Realism
The accent in toys is realism.
The world faithfully simulated de-
tail for detail is brought to chill
dren.
There are four burner toy cleo
trio ranges that really cook and
flat irons that heat sufficiently to
iron doll clothes. And when a doll
has a new bathine:te, it must in
clude a safety strap! There is an
electrically operated pop corn
machine that makes tasty popcorn.
The last word in realism is
reached in a miniature dolls feed
ing set which includes a sterilizer,
rack of bottles and bottle washers.
A small town shopping center
is amazingly duplicated in plastic.
And there is a freight station with
barrels, cases, and d tiny fleet Of
trucks, and a super service station.
Juniors scientific lab in the
cellar is equipped for tracking
down atoms this Christmas. A new
atomic energy lab set includes a
workable Geiger counter. Like
many others, this set emphasizes
the use of science for peace.
And that very important young
man has new means of transporta-
ton and communication. There are
sets that carry voices
and electric trains that start with
realistic slowness and demonstrate
spectacular climbing ability.
Games Grandpa played as a boy
are stepped up to 1850 versions.
Three dimensional stereoscope sets
come with travel and fairy tale
slides. And hoop rolling is back.
The new hoops r constructed to
,erform acrobatic tricks. :

Playthings Taking Cues From
Arts, Sciences Are
Instructive

The world of toys Christmas
1850, follows young Americas ac-
tive interest in the arts, sciences
and industries. New playthings are
offered that help reveal aptitudes
and foster natural leanings toward
careers.
Though the new crop of toys and
games is instructive, the main
function is to provide an entertain
ing pastime.
Tots who might shatter a toy
before the close of Christmas day,
find that gay plastic toys are
nearly indestructable.
Older children, who often tire of
games that offer no challenge to
the imagination, find this Christ
mas choice of games e%ngrossing.
They give the child an opportunity
for creative expression and avoid
talking-down, a feature children
can always spot.
Old favorite games and toys are
polished up and expanded. New
ones, made possible by new ma
t~erials, show exciting features
never before included in toys. Play
things makers show that they are
in pace with science and %industry's
striking new advances.

Coot, Lost in Fog,
Flies against House

Mr.. and Mrs. w. B. Parker,
who live on a farm three miles
south of Chapel Hill, were
startled by the sound of a thump
against the side of their house
an hour or so after dark last
Monday. When they went out to
investigate they saw what ap-
peared to be a duck tapping
across the yard vainly attempt
ing take-off.
In spite of everything he could
do, Mr.. Parker was unable to
capture the bird before his two
dogs caught and killed it. When
he took it away from them he
saw it was a new species to him.
1t had slate-colored plumage, a
pointed whitish beak, and lobed
feet.
The next day Mr.. Parker
brought the bird to town and
learned that it was a coot, not
uncommon winter visitor to
lakes and rivers in this part of
the country. The foggy, rainy
weather which prevailed Mon
day night probably confused the
coot and caused it to fly toward
the lights shining through the
farkers windows.

were Immediately audible in The

diction of this group of we'll
balanced voices was especially
commendable. 1t was skilled in
nuances and the tenor section

a great deal of feeling "E lucevan
lie STEELE" from Puccini's LA Tos-
ca; Charles MY Lady Walks in

given as an encore.
The good fellowship of the two

enjoyment in the presentation,
cultivated by the two conductors,
were largely responsible for the
splendid results. A large audi
ence received both groups enthu-
siastically.

A thoroughly enjoyable concert
was provided by the joint appear
ance of the Baltimore and Ohio
Glee Club and the National Press
Club Chorus in the Press Club
last night. This was the third
annual combined appearance OF
the two organizations which would
now, as Carter Brooke Jones. vice
chairman of the executive COM
mittee, said in his welcoming ad-
dress, become traditional. The
two groups were heard individual
ly under the direction OF their
respective conductors, combining
in the beginning and at the end,
first under DR.. Reinald Werren-
rath, conductor of the Press Club
Chorus, and last under DR.. James
Allan Dash of the Baltimore and
Ohio Glee Club.
The guests gave an unusually
fine exhibition of choral art in
tone, volume f1exibility and shad-
ing. The Pilgrims Chorus" from
Wagner's "Tannhauser" Richter's
Creation" and Sullivan's Lost
Chord" the last two given as en-
cores, could be classed on a par
with some of the best professional
performances for effect, phrasing,
the use of overtones and declama-
tory style of singing.
Outstanding was also John
Evans, baritone of the visiting or
ganization, who was heard IN
SCOTS Jasmine Door; "Di pro-
venza il mar" from Verdi's La
Traviata," Malotte's Sing a Song
of Sixpence" and Some En-
chanted Evening" from Rodgers
South Pacific" The singers ex-
cellently trained voice and his
artistic delivery found a worthy
counterpart in Charlotte Reed,
the Baltimore and Ohio Glee
Clubs accompanist, who scored
personal success playing for her
group.
