Inter-RaciaI
Chorus Formed

In announcing the formation
of new, inter-racial chorus of
mixed voices, Jack Lee, publicity
director of Club Emancipation,
stated that the eminent young
composer and arranger, Donald
A Lanclos, would conduct the
new chorus. Invitations were ex-
tended by the conductor to any
young people interested in sing
ing to participate in the first re-
hearsal of the group next Friday,
March "a, at 800 PM. at 464
Massachusetts avenue. The
chorus already has tentative
plans for its first public concert
on May 6, at Jordan Hall.
In commenting upon the new
chorus, young Lanclos, the dy-
manic and serious conductor of
the group, stated that, 'The
Emancipation Chorus, in keeping
with the traditions of Club
Emancipation and the Young
Progressives, will sing new, un-
published works of young COM
posers as well as the standard
chorus numbers. Our concern
will be to demonstrate, through
the medium of music, the har-
mony of peoples which our Club
Emancipation has sought to find
in its political activity. Particu-
lar attention will be given to that
fine body of militant music which
has developed as the original, and
the greatest, Of that body Of folk
music which has grown with the
American history-I mean, the
spirituals. We win sing, in addi-
tion, the songs of freedom loving
people all over the world. We in
vite those young people in the
community who have an interest
in young peoples chorus, to
come down to our first rehearsal,
Friday, March %, at 464 Massa-
chusetts avenue"
Jack Lee, one of the organizers
OF the group, has had experience
in organization of choral groups.

The Christiansted High School
Library opened for service to the
students and teachers on May /,
1850. Books, supplies and equip
ment were bought by the Depart
ment of Education and the school.
The Manual Arts department of
the school co-operated 100 percent
in making some needed equip
ment and painting the library
room. The faculty members CO.
operated 100 percent in getting
the library idea over to the
students.
During the two months that it
was operating, the librarian acces
stoned 329 volumes. OF this num-
Der 217 volumes were classified
and put on the shelves for circu-
lation. There are 112 new books
to be prepared for circulation at
the beginning of the next school
term. There have been 122 books
circulated during the two months
that the library was rendering ser
vice to the school. Over 100 refer
ence questions we're answered.
These figures are small, but, not
too small considering the time
that the library was opened and
the fact that it was only opened
two periods a day and three hours
a week after school.
The library has been organized
to meet certain standards set up
by the American Library Associa=
ton for high school libraries. This
organization is the national body
with its headquarters in Chicago,
that darWs up all standards for
accredited American libraries, and
it also, works closely with
educational agencies. There are
many things to be done before
these standards can be reached,
but at the beginning of the ensu-
ing school year, plans will be
worked out to attempt to fulfill
some Of them.
Magazines were donated this
year by some individuals. Stu
dents enjoyed reading many of
them in the library, Others were
used for reference information
that was filed for classroom use.
Our newspapers were, also, gifts
that were very much appreciated.
Next year we hope to make sub
scriptions to other magazines and
newspapers.
Hats off to the Senior Glass and
their adviser!! They have given
their full support to the library
this year. They bought paint for
the room and a termite solution
with which to paint the books. On
June 20, they gave $4,000 to the
library to be used for securing adj
ditional books and printed mater
ials next year, This contribution
was welcomed and greatly appre-

Son Of Deputy Premier
In East Reich FIees
To American Sector
By the Associofed Press

BERLIN, April 19.-The son of
a deputy prime minister of So
yiet-occupied East Germany be-
came political refugee in West
Berlin today.
Ralph Kastner. whose father is
leader of the Eastern Liberal
Democratic Party GDP), an
nounced he had fled with his wife
and children to escape "unbeara-
BILE Communist pressure"
The newspaper Neue Zeitung
reported that the son telephoned
Deputy Prime Minister Hermann
Kastner of his flight after safely
arriving in the American sector.
The LDP Office refused to COM
ment. The father, whose own
career has been endangered by
Communist -instigated purges of
the LDP this year, answered no
further telephone calls at his East
Berlin home.
Young KaStner told the Amer
ican official newspaper that there
is no democracy to speak in the
East Zone any longer"
He accused East German Com
munists of arranging for a single
list election next October al
though most of the people are
fully determined to vote no."
Young Kastner said he had re-
sisted demands that he join the
Communist-controlled trade union
federation in Dresden, and had
lost his secretarial job there as
a result.
Neue Zeitung reported he asked
his father on the telephone
whether he would leave the Rus
sian zone, too. But the elder
Kastner replied: You have done
a great wrong"
The son explained he reached
West Berlin by the ruse of telling
officials in Dresden he was going
to East Berlin.
