that this sort of thing has not

Certainly there is no community

on citizens gifted with acting

development of this type of per-
former.

Oddly enough. this developed
talent in the musical field is al
lowed in later life to simmer down
to playing for its own amuse-
ment. or singing life away in its
showers, while the ambitious actor

dominated community theater.
1t could change, but it probably
will not, even though "All Over

should uncover quite municipal
aptitude for their sorts of things.

During a period of 5 years or
more under his supervision in
South Carolina, Bishop Reid has
fostered a splendid program of ex-
pansion of the opportunity and civil
rights of the Negro, in the ethical
RECOMMENDATION.
Following the courageous decis-
ion of Federal Judge j. Wingate
Warning, of the u. S. District
Court, opening the Democratic Pri-
mary to all citizens, regardless of
race or color. Bishop Reid has
been lost outspoken in his charge
to leaders, preachers and ministers
in various communities to get the
Negro people to go to the polls and
vote, and thus justify the unmis-
taxable birthright given him by
the Constitution of the United
States of America.
Bishop Reid emphasized the fact
that he would not appoint preach
er or minister to a church unless
he was real jealous citizen and
would lead his people TO register
and vote and exercise every right
of full pledged American citi-
zen.
Full citizenship Sunday" in all
of his 400 churches was proclaim
ed where the time for a sermon
would be given over entirely to the
gospel of how to register and how
to vote, arouse great interest in
registration, which aided other
leaders in getting more than 100,-
600 Negroes as registered voters.
Declaring over and over again,
Bishop Reid says that this is the
greatest opportunity to become a
first class citizen, and to save the
South from its backwardness for
if the Negroes go to the polls in
large numbers, says Bishop Reid,
the Government will no longer be
in the hands of a few despotic
demagoes, for numbers of the in
telligent whites and black people
will be aroused to cope with the
interest manifested by Negroes in
the fight for honest, fair and good
Government.
Many of the ancient southern
traditions will soon pass out be-
cause of the jealous outlook of
white and black politicians togeth-
er the much needed vote in the
South as we'll as the North, and the
final outcome will be that every
Negro man will be called Mr.. and
every Negro woman will be given
the decent respect as Mrs. or Miss.

her visits here, we decided to in
terview her.
Lena Horne, who is one of the
most beautiful women in America,
has acted in approximately 20
films since 1871. Her last film,
Duchess of Idaho, was made last
year. In all of her films, with
the exception of the first two al
ready mentioned, she has had only
singing roles. We asked her why.
"She answered, the roles of
Negroes are very rare in American
motion pictures and I'm obliged to
wait and hope that some day one
will be found that is

she thought depicted realistically
and truthfully the life of the Ne
gro in the United States.
Without hesitation she replied.
There aren't any. Although, if
one compares the place held by the
Negroes in the American cinema
today with that which he occupied
10 or 20 years ago, one is able to
say that there has been progress.

because of what they described as
serious errors" habitually COM
mitted when the word was used in
popular parlance. They preferred
the expression "ethnic groups"
The greater part of mankind
could be classified into three ma
jor divisions-mongoloid, Negroid
and Caucasoid, they said. But
they insisted that these divisions
must be considered as dynamic
rather than static and as subject
to changes in the future as in the
past.
The experts expressed the view
that in the light of scientific ma
terial at present available inherited
genetic difference could not be held
to be a major factor in producing
differences between cultures or
cultural achievements of different
peoples or groups.
They asserted that the explana-
ton for such differences must be
sought essentially in the history
of the cultural experience that
each group had undergone. Tenn
permanent, personality and charac-
, ter also were described by experts
as almost entirely "raceless."
No Harm In Mixtures
With respect to the mixture of
races, the experts denied that hu-
man hybrids frequently showed I'M
desirable traits, physical or men,
tai deficiencies or other bad bio
logical effects. On the contrary
they said that "there is no bio
logical justification for prohibit
ing intermarriage between persons
of different ethnic groups"
Denouncing "the myth of race"
on the ground that it had caused
untold human and social damage,
the experts declared that biolog-
ical differences between ethnic
groups should be disregarded from
the standpoint of social accept
ance and social action.
They stressed the Importance of

ings are in fact equal in endow-
ment," they said. obviously in
dividuals in all ethnic groups vary
greatly among themselves in en-
dowment."
In conclusion the experts de-
clared that biological studies lent
support to the ethic of universal
brotherhood and confirmed the die
tium of Confucius: mems natures
are alike; it is their habits that
carry them far apart.

A copy of Reuther's proposal, to-

On the question of civil rights,
Mr.. Reuther said:
Nowhere is the gap between our
promises and our performances as
great as in the field of civil rights.
Among peoples in underdevelop-
ed countries, greatest doubt about
our high moral statements on dem
ocracy, freedom and the worth of
the individual is caused by our
continued practice of a double
standard of citizenship here at
home.
End Double Standard
1.-THE United States cannot pro-
vide unassailable moral leadership
in the world in this time of crisis
and panic until we end that double
standard.
1.-The serious gap between what
American democracy breaches and
what it practices in the field of
civil rights has provided and daily
continues to provide the commun-
lists with one of their most effective
weapons in winning ground among
the Asiatics and other people.
The daily propaganda broadcast

of sex segregation.
AS Negroes began using the
pools for the first time, a small
group of whites gathered around
the pools and created incidents.
Police had been assigned to pro-
tect the swimmers and three white
boys were arrested.
Under the new policy of "sex
segregation" Negroes and whites
use the pools at the same time,
but boys and girls are prohibited
from swimming together.
When several Negroes went
swimming at the pool in Playground
Park a small band of white people
booed and jeered.
Later in the day, a group of
more than fifty whites chased
Negro woman and a small boy.
however, the group was dispered
by police.
U. S. District Judge Rubey M.
Hulen opened the pool to Negroes
last Monday. Judge Hulen had rul-
ed in favor of two persons who
had asked the court to enjoin the
city from swimming in Fairgrounds
and Marquett Parks.
The court ruled that segregation
in municipally-owned pools violates
the constitutional qua fantees of
equal protection under the law.
