Gen WeYlond Praises
Negro, Abstraction
Flyers in Kored.

Major General Otto Weyland,
Commanding General of the Tao
teal Air Command, who returned
to Washington on Saturday after
two and a half days in Korea,
praised Negro pilots operating
with the American Far East Air
Force. These Pilots, he said, fly
both ESQ planes and BIG light
bombers in the Korean fighting.
General Weyland said that the
Australian pilots who are helping
American airmen, have had ex-
cellent training and are well
equipped. He described one mis-
sion of the Australian as a "bang-
up" job.
During the initial stage of the
Korean fighting there was little
Allied air support for the Korean
Republican force, General Wey-
land said, because the defense
could not be identified from the
air. Poor communications also
hampered the location of enemy
positions, he added, and fighters
had to be used to protect evacu-
alton operations and supply move
ments into Korea.

Defense Department
Coils for 10000
Drdftees Now

The Defense Department in
Washington asked for 10000
draftees "at the earliest possible
date" to expand the Army in the
light of the Korean fighting. The
Department said no other recourse
is presently available to meet man
power needs.
Major Louis Hershey, Director
of Selective Service, said rs year
olds will be called first. He ex-
planned it will take about so days
to start delivering men under the
draft, but added that his agency
could, if necessary, furnish up to
10000 men within 80 days.

Negroes on Negro Teams Nots
Considered as Candidate for Riee's
All American Football 1eum

RlQhOOOAS SASAOSos
Well do we know that our lead
ing Negro teams cannot expect to
jump directly into the Rose Bowl
against a Pacific Coast conference
team, or in the Sugar Bowl (if
every against the best in the
South, or inthe Yankee stadium
against Notre Dame. But they
can work their way up the ladder
by playing teams like Manhattan
college, Clarion State Teachers,
Temple, st. Mary's Pacific
Coast), and other smaller colleges
of similar standing.
Yes, to be sure, some Negro
colleges have made these initial
steps already. Last fall, Lincoln
university of Pennsylvania played
Albright college in Reading, Pa,
and later played Lebanon Valley
college, which school, incidentally
is coached by the famous Andy
Kerr.
Maryland State college (form-
erly Princess ANN played Glass
boro State Teachers college of
New Jersey, and a few weeks
later took on the Trenton State
Teachers college.
Wilberforce played Bergen col
lege in New York City in the fall
of 1913 and Rio Grande college
the following year.
Cheyney State Teachers college,
one of Pennsylvania ID state
teachers colleges, made the great
est stride in tn suggested direction.
They played four: Clarion State
Teachers, Glassboro State Teach
ers, Kutztown State Teachers, and
Kings College of Wilkes Barre.
This is a start, however small,
but the football teams of the
schools who have done the pion-
eering aren't the strongest of our

are like me, I know you should

players from our Negro schools.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass ut is
most unusual to see one person
who possesses Is many talents as
Eta Moten has with the ability
to combine them so WE'LL" Charles
Lee, director of the YMCA cul-
tural series here, made the above
remark at the end Of a concert
lecture given here by the artist.
Eta Moten intrigued her audi
ence here with her ability to de-
liver a 45-minute traditional type
concert and, after a brief inter-
mission, give a profound lecture
on African culture with movies on
the side. A full program indeed.
Miss Moten's mezzo-contralto
voice seems to improve each year.
It shows more evidence of strict
discipline, she controls it beauti-
fully.
=, Not only is her singing voice
we'll schooled, but so is her speak
ing voice. More than 1900 people
were held spellbound as Eta Mo-
ten took them with her on a West
African tour. Miss Moten and her
husband, CLAUDIO A. Barnett, d.
rector Of the Associated Negro
Press, took color movies when
they went to West Africa a few
seasons ago.
It is unusual to find an artist
with such a keen articulato social
sensitivity as Eta Moten display
here. No more superficial travel
logue was this. She reminded her
audience of the newly discovered
smallness of the world, and the
challenge that we all face to
broaden our scope of thinking i.
for we are our brothers keeper.

now. And, in, spite of the above

The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1950-02-14

I have just finished reading
through Grantland Rice's All Am
erican football selections for the
season of 1949. I cannot say l
am happy. For, nowhere there did
I see the first name of a Negro
football player from a Negro
school - not even in the "Honor-
able Mention" column.
So, at this point, it is difficult
for me to determine whether l
should be angry or Disguised.
Please do not misunderstood me.
1 cannot get angry with Mr. Rice
because he did not pick the play
ers from our segregated Negro
schools for this high athletic hon
or. But instead, I am Disguised
with those of us who are perpet-
uating the double standard" in
college football.
It is a known fact, by now, l
hope, that the caliber of football
played in our colleges is on a low
ed level as compared with that
played by Notre Dame, Army,
Michigan, Rice, Michigan State,
Minnesota, California, and Okla
homa, from which schools MI.
Rice selected his first all Am
erican team forthe past football
season.
Many still say, academically,
our Negro schools are on par with
the above mentioned schools, but
athletically, we haven't quite
reached their standard. This seems
to be true more so in football
than in the other sports.
Then, how does the Morgan
State football team, the c. l. A.
A. champions; the Florida A & M
Rattlers, the best in the S. I. A.
c.; Southern University eleven,
the best in the Southwestern con-
ference; Tennessee State A & l.
and Wilberforce university, the
two rulers ofthe Mid-Western con-
ference, compare with Michigan,
Ohio State, Notre Dame, and
others?
Well, I am afraid there is no
exact answer tothat question right
now. We will have to wait I'M
til these schools see fit to schedule
games with the big colleges and
universities.
We can understand why the
state supported schools like south
ern university down in Baton
Rouge, La; Florida A. & M. in
Tallahassee, Fla. Tennessee State
A. & I. in Nashville, have not
played the big northern colleges
and universities. However, I am

WHAT FEMININE FASHION
w needs is a vest-pocket size.
accordion-style folding hat. with
full flower garden effect and rna5ts
fore and aft.
This simple invention in cha
peaux would save many a woman
a scared soul by averting the di-
lemna of being the only woman in
a group without a hat, or the only
woman with one. She could either
take the vest-pocket job off and
fold it up, or unfold it and put it
on, whichever the occasion de-
manded.
y Talk about your prosecuted mi
norities-there are several gals at
every party whose headdress is
at variance with that of the ma
tjority of females present. And how
women like to gang up on non
conforrnists, whether they are nom
conformists by accident or de-
sign. What merciless floggings
these aberrant ones suffer from
the lifted eyebrows and supercili-
Gus stareS.
Many a woman gets down upon
her knees at night and asks that
God let her suffer any other men,
tai, social or moral lapse rather
than let her attend d hen party
cranially illclad. All women would
rather be thrown TO the lions of
the jungle than to the cats of the
gabfest arena.
IMAGINE the torment of the
proud dame who arrives at
gala party with headgear resem-
bling the flagship of a flotiIla, all
banners flying, and spies all her
sisters bareheaded. Her masts and
yardarms are not constructed for
easy deta chment; there's nothing
the unfortunate madam can do
but sit in drydock until the gossip
has ebbed, too embarrassed to
contribute her choice morsels. The
bareheaded gal who blunders into
a gang of hated women is just as
ill-placed; she cannot produce a
fully-rigged bonnet upon a mo-
ment's notice. And she can't go
home and leave her reputation to
the mercy of the various tongues.
But wait! She's self-possessed if
she owns the telescope, minuscule,
capsule, spring-a ctiVatcd, dandruff
repellant fez, to be created by the
first maniac milliner reading this.
No lady then need be chagrined
by a bare coiffure when the other
ladies are wearing a fringe on top.
Take the capsule from your coin
purse. press it lightly-out pops a
full-blown chapeau, guaranteed not
to collapse unexpectedly.
