NPA yesterday announced rules
for handling defense orders for
aluminium under it's priorities sys-
tenn. The rules are designed to
spread orders among all producers
so that no one company will be
saddled with an overload of pri-
ority production.
No aluminium producer will be
required to accept defense orders
in any one month in excess of Is
per cent of his total production
nor will distributors and jobbers
be required to accept orders ex-
ceeding Is per cent Of the prod
ucts available to them in the
month.
U. S. Will Buy Alcohol.
In addition, no producer or fab
ricator is required to accept de-
fense order received less than go
days before the first of the month
in which delivery is requested.
Meanwhile, the Reconstruction
Finance Corp. announced it will
begin at once the purchase of al
cohol from whisky distillers. The

ber. The amount to be bought
from the distillers was not an
nounced, but it is expected that
there will be no resultant short
age of whisky at this time.
Additional alcohol is to be OBJ
tanned from France. The RFC
announced il is buying 112 mil

Of the drive. chalked up 81 per
cent Of its $1,682,700 quota in

The next report, which will in
clude all nine units, is scheduled

ployes, reported only 81 per cent
yesterday. The counties and the
special solicitation unit did not
report.
The Rev. r. Edward Dodwy,
assistant pastor of the First Bap-

They turned down a honorable

Their fine school principal was

After thoroughly canvassing the
situation, they agreed that the

was the only Negro in town who
"knew banking" and so the jani-

CHICAGO (ANP)- Abe Sap

the Harlem Globe Trotters, has
given a bit Of advice that white
professional t a m could well
heed.
Saperstein says the present
drawing power Of his Negro ag-
gregation is not the color of their
skins, but their skill in ball hand
ling. Abe says the predominant
style of play in professional ball
has ruled out ball handling as an
ancient art. All they do is shoot,
shoot, shoot, he says. Other skills
are sacrificed tothe speedy bust
ness of getting the sphere through

Muriel RAIN Gets
IL Curtain Calls
At Columbia u.

NEW YORK (ANP) Perform
ing in the new opera, "The Bar
%rier," last week at Columbia uni
versity, Muriel Rain and members
Of the cast received IL curtain
calls from a standing room only
audience at Brandier Matthews
hall.
The libretto of the new opera
was written by Langston Hughes
and the music by Jan Meyerowitz.
It was tsaged by the Columbia
Opera workshop. Its story is based
onthe play, "Mullato," written by
Hughes.
It is the story of a white
Georgia plantation owner, his Ne
gro housekeeper who is the mother
Of three children by him, and the
eldest of these children, Der, who
refuses to "stay in his place."
Miss Rain has the role of
Cora Lewis, the mother. Robert
Toss, who starred recently in Kurt
Weills's "Down in the Valley" at
the Lemonade Opera and has also
sung with the New England Opera
sang the role of the son.
BY extending a tremendous ova-
ton of IL curtain calls, the audi
ence gave the premiere Of 1.-THE
Barrier" applause unprecedented
in the staid Brandier Matthews
hall.
Miss Rain, who was in the or
iginal Carmen Jones on Broad
way, postponed an extensive con-
cert tour to appear in the pro-
duction.

For AMP
A Candidate For Honor
The time may come when the
race appeal in Negro business will
be obsolete, but that time is not
yet! Here and there about the
country Negro businesses flourish
from their white patronage, but
generally speaking, Negro business
must rely chiefly on Negro pat
ronage. This writer has in mind
a little city in upper South Caro-
lima where the Negro dentist has
a fine practice with the major
portion among the whites. This
can be duplicated here and there
about the country, but on the
whole the masses Of Negro den
lists must serve Negroes. This
is true of the other professions,
and especially true Of Negro bus
mess which is fighting for it's

place in the Negroes scheme OF
things.
For quite rs years this column
has contended that the next de-
parture of ultimate significance in
Negro advance is in the direction
of Negro business. If the Negro
professional could be induced to
take the rural sections of the
South, an infinitely large number
of these could be absorbed; but

quency inthe cities, and thus reck-
oning, the professions are crow
ed.
With the professionals crowd
ed and crowding in our cities, bus
mess offers the most profitable
departure and the Negro who gets
in on the ground floor will be
the business magnate of tomorrow.
But without the race appeal the
Negro business man can never get
started; he cannot compete with
the white man because he lacks
capital, and he lacks capital be-
cause he cannot compete. In other
words he finds himself in an &C.
onomic vicious circle from which
only race loyalty can extricate
him. In the past it has been mar
velous and it will be the staying
power for many years to come.
This point is magnificently il
inthe rise of such great
companies as the North
Mutual, the Southern Aid
and the Atlanta Life. Although
these companies can offer fine
policies now, they could not at
first. They can make the busin-
ess appeal now alike to Negroes
and whites; but at the first they
could only appeal to Negroes. In
other words Negro business must
use the race appeal until such
as it can make a bonafide
business appeal, which it cannot
make at first. It lacks capital. Ac-
cording to one ofthe theorems of
my Double Dut- Dollar philosophy
business can be started with
the race appeal, but it cannot for
ever survive onthis appeal. Unless
the race appeal gets the Negro
businss man beyond the race ap-
peal, it is a failure.
The fertile field of business has
lain fallow for years because the
educated Negro was obsessed with
the frivolous notion that only the
professions were fit for his genius.
In a certain small city in a certain
state a few years ago, it was
found that Negroes had or de-
post 100000 and they rightly
reasoned WHY they could not run

Retail Buying Declines
Across Nation Despite
Favorable Weather

buying fell off this week from its
high level. Dun g. BradsrreeU re-
ported today in a survey.
Despite the prevalence Of
favorable shopping weather over
many parts of the Nation, con-
sumner purchasing in the week
ended this Wednesday dipped
slightly from its former high
level" it was found.
Aggregate retail dollar volume
continued to be moderately above
the level for the corresponding
week year ago. Last weeks in
creased interest in apparel con-
tinued into this week, as shoppers
generally bought large quantities
of ready to wear clothing and
furnishings.
Many women were favorably
disposed toward storm coats, wool
jersey blouses and accessories
made Of saddle leather. The pop
ularity of shirts and furnishings
rose somewhat in male apparel.
Requests for fall suits fell slightly
in scattered vicinities. The SELL
ing Of children's back-to-s school
clothes rose seasonally."
For the country as a whole the
dollar volume was to 9 per cent
above a year ago. Percentage
changes by regions from last year
follow: New England, Midwest and
Northwest, up 4 to 8: East, South

Hardest Spill in Weeks
With Losses Up 10 81

spill in six weeks today.
Key stocks dropped a few cents
to around 81 q share before SELL
ing pressure slackened. A good
many issues showed a little
bounce after the initial pressure
but there was nothing like a de-
ciSive comeback.
Steel and motor stocks were
singled out for selling targets.
Losses, though, were literally dis
tributed throughout the list.
Heavy trading accompanied the
decline. Sales tapered when quo
tations leveled off.
Brokerage quarters said the
selling was Influenced by several
factors. Some traders were con-
cerned over the possibility that
the President might not intervene
Immediately in a national rail
strike scheduled for Monday.
Concern was expressed, too,
over implication of news that
Communist China had asked the
United Nations to order with
drawal of the United States 7th
Fleet from its protective patrol
OF Formosa.
Another influence was the
custoary reluctance of traders to
o through week end in a vul-
nerable position.
Among the losers were United
States Steel, Bethlehem Steel.

baker, Goodrich, Montgomery
Ward, Douglas Aircraft, Emerson
