@. W. u. Players
Stage Comedy

Julian Thompson's comedy set
ting forth his notion of what hap
pened when Hercules set out to get
that golden girlde which gave
Hippolyta and her Amazons their
power over men, "The Warriors
Husband" is being staged as the
spring offering of the George
Washington University Players.
They have mounted it handsomely
on the Lisner Auditorium stage,
coStumed the cast attractively and
are playing it in studious college
dramatics fashion.
This version of THE Warriors
Husband" takes on some life. as
matter of fact, when a young
woman named Davie Rogers turns
up in the role of Antiope. Miss
Rogers is an attractive girl who
has something of pixie quality,
an obvious willingness to act a
part and knack for projecting
warm personality. She manages
to bring a couple of the others
up near her performance level in
several passages, but for the most
part she is acting and they are
giving dramatic recitations.
THE Warriors Husband" is a
pleasant enough play to have read
to you, being based on a rather
funny notion of Amazon life. AS
the student in the row behind dis
closed to his companion just be-
fore the curtains rise, II think
this is that play about that lano
where the women go to war and
the men stay home and do the
kitchen woik." The G. w. players
seem to have hoked it up a bit
here and there with a hopeful
timely gag and the whole reversal
joke has worn thin in spots, but
Mr.. Thompson's play still mas a
goodly supply of comedy.
The large cast which accom-
panies the above Miss Rogers is
headed by Marilyn Earls, Charles
Vorbach, Lawrence Strawbridge
Edmund Vertnsr and Clyde Stall
llngs. Director Andrew Miles
performed the chore of getting
the rather elaborate production on
stage and Robert Burns Stevens
did the setting and lighting. "The
Warriors Husband" will be per-
formed for the last time tonight
at $3.50 at Lisner.

This story might we'll be caption

Must Be Negro" for that's what
70 families-remnants of the Wac
camaw tribe of Indians-are up
against.
The Waccamaws, a tribe which
has been by-passed and forgotten
by the outside world for two CEN
turtles, must prove they are Indians
in order to gain title to their lands,
recognition, and status as Indi-
ans, such as granted other tribes
by the federal government. But
the tribe is finding it difficult to
prove it's racial identity.
The tribe lives almost entirely
in the impenetrable green swamp
at the edge of Lake Waccamaw-
from which it takes it's name-37
miles from Wilmington. According
to legend, the tribe settled there
after a falling meteor carved a
lake out of what was then a river.
When the waters cooled and flow
ed over the spot, a lake and sur
rounding swamp were created. The
name Waccamaw menas "lake of
the fallen star"
The main problem facing the
survivors of the tribe is the color

CHICAGO (ANP)- Many
people in the world would prob
ably give most anything for an
autograph of Dr.. Ralph J. Bunche,
recent winner of the Nobel Peace
Prize, the worlds greatest award
of achievement.
Here in Chicago is a man who
has more than a mere autograph
Of the great mamie has a letter,
from the United Nations leader.
But he is not very happy about
the situation connected with the
letter.
No, he does not want to get
rid of the letter or anything like
that-he just wants to do some
thing about it. Here is the story.

diately after he had been an

At that time Thompson could af-
ford to make such a statement be-
cause then he worked as a special
public relations assistant in Chi
cago for the Wine Growers guild
with national offices in Lodi, Calf.
In a letter dated Nov. 7, 1850.

show the lake has higher banks on
the north and east shores-as
would logically happen if a huge
body struck the soft earth at an
angle from the southwest.
But until some satisfying proof
is unearthed, the Waccamaws will
go on being a 'slost" tribe of In

to the color line, and since the
Indians are obviously not white,
they must be Negroes.
A as result of this, the tribe has
been the victim of anti-Negro alb
use perpetrated not only by the
white residents but also by local
officials. In one instance, a deputy
sheriff and two white men paid
a visit to an elderly tribal mem
Der at his home and beat him so
badly he was crippled for life. The
assailants gave as an excuse that
he was resisting arrest" but they
never said what he was being ar
rested for.
Of course, as in many cases,
being victims of color prejudice
has not stopped the group from
being prejudiced itself. Prejudice
was not known to the tribe until
1921, when the Waccamaws at
tempted to start a. school for the
education of their youngsters. 1t
was only after they had construct
ed the school, using their own la
Dor, money and materials, that
they learned the state officially
recognized them as Negroes. The
state supplied teacher was a Ne
gro woman. Rather than have her
teach their children, the Indians
nailed up the school-house door.
Early in 1943, six tribal mem
bers were drafted and assigned to
a Negro unit, although they had
asked assignment to an Indian
Scout unit. When they learned of
their assignment, the six went
home. They were arrested and
tried for violation of the Select
i've Service act, but the case was
dismissed.
During the last session of con-
gress, two bills which would have
granted them titles to their lands,
recognition and status as an In
dian TRIBE, died in committee be-
cause the interior department e
ported unfavorablely on them.
Their efforts to prove their ra-
cial identity are hampered by the
fact that all of them are poor and
the majority are uneducated. They
have no idea of how to go about
proving their claim.
However, there is one bright
spot-though not yet conclusive
in the search for proof of their
claim to be a fred man.. Recent

and other scientists show that the

articles about FIreSrone NuDDef
company in Liberia. 1t covers vari-
GUS criticisms of the firms opera-
ton here and the company's view
point.
Byron H. Larabee, legally train
ed vice president of the Flrestone
company in Akron, O., is chief ex-
ecutive of Firestone Plantations.
He flies to Liberia frequently. He
is also a trustee of Booker Wash
ington institute.
cts a great enterprise, this
Firestone Plantations company.
One cannot help but wish that Lii
IBERIA herself could have been in
position to have utilized the cap
ital for her own governmental and
general welfare. If Liberia could
have employed this along with it's
brains and ability, perhaps Liberia
and much Of West Africa would
have been many steps ahead of
where they are now.
Ross Wilson, an engineer, is
general manager, and runs the or
ganization in Liberia. He has been
here 25 years, and is active in
many phases of Liberals civic,
educational, and social life. He
paints Firestone attractively from
this viewpoint:
"There is no new outlook for
this company as far as it's Liberi-
an employees are concerned.
While I admit that to some Liberi-
ans it might appear that there is
a new outlook, the facts are that
our aim always has been the same
as at present-to train Liberian
employees in the various skills and
trades to the point of having them
able to take over the supervision
of many of our operations"
Wilson cited that company's eff
forts to help Liberians build their
own farms and businesses. He al
so noted the newly set up program
headed by the Rev. Sam Smith for
an in-service training school for
bookkeepers and typists and some
skilled artisans on the job. He also
mentioned the BWI program in
which Firestone gives on-the-job
training to between eight and 10
students.
Wilson blames the lack of bet
ter Jobs for natives on Firestone's
concentration on material ex-
pansion and production and the
overlooking of "social and educa-
tional espects." He said:
"He hope to show considerable
progress in the next few years in
putting into practice the things
that we have learned.
"Liberians do enjoy a number

Family Quarrel. If Louise shot

because it is no accident for a
husband to be killed while attack
ing his armed wife, ruled the St.

bands death was the natural and
probable consequence of his own
act in voluntarily assaulting his
wife with deadly weapon"
Stop Thief! If you shoot at BAN

No Automobile. While Bill was

nut flew out from an automobile
and hit him in the head. Can Bill
recover under a policy insuring
him against being hit by an auto
mobile? No, because "a nut flying
off from an automobile is not an

thereof" ruled the Georgia Court
of Appeals.
No Shade. Is it an accident if a
man gets a sunstroke playing golf?
No, it's what he should expect for
not staying in the shade, said the

P.sh-Ups. Is it an accident if a
man collapses from doing too
many push-ups? No, because set
ting-up exercises often set a man
down instead of up, ruled the
United States District Court.

This and That

Did you ever hear how Henry Jones'
one day to be Templeton Jones' grand
father, popped the question to Amanda
Stamford, at dusk on wonderful and
exciting evening long ago?
The little Indiana town. about twenty
miles from the Ohio, lay peacefully that
Civil War time
1t was getting along toward dark, and
the sound of crickets was in the air. The
war, about half over, had divided the
townspeople.
Some of them were for the South, some
for the North. Even the half way point
in the conflict made little difference.
The long road, two inches thick with
dust, lay in golden haze toward the
South.
The home folks were on their porches.
Henry Jones, young and handsome,
utterly without the great beard to grace
him in later life, stood at the general
store, looking up the road.
1t was in that direction lay the Stand
ford farm, and on it, in addition to its
great acreage, was the queen of the vil-s
lage, the beautiful Amanda.
Henry had made up his mind long
time ago. He had gone to war, and
come back again, but still he was a bit
afraid of Amanda.
Suddenly. along the road. man came
running.
