MARRIAGES

The press Of the country must be that is about
time stop playing up the socaled mixed marriages BY
that meant course the union Of colored man with
white woman. Usually ignored by the press are the
legazed marriages of white to coored women Happily
the value of all such marriages has dwnded perhaps
because people general believe that marriage should re-
free choice The stories the papers serve no useful
purpose. There is evidence of trend toward mixed
unions People marry within their group rule and
even within sections Of the group accordance with
financial and social levels.
The supposed value Of the cooredwhite alliances
derives color bias To give them special notice is to
ree the world that many Americans still obsessed by
color phobia while in other country that calls itself
civilized would such unions stir ripple Of interest because
Of skin-coloring.

Not so. You see the public gets

man, and an earthquake can't
shake the notion out of it's mind.
Any damn fool knows that Joe
is not invincible. The public
however, thinks he is. And any
time Joe falls short of the public's
mind, the public is angered and
ready to spank him.

NEW YORK - An immediate
investigation "of the manner in
which colored American troops
are treated in Tokyo and the
elimination of the racial dis
elimination so persistently re-
ported" has been asked by Roy

mitted the following quotation
from a. letter received from an
informant in Tokyo:
THE American public ought
to know that racial discrin-
nation here is as fragrant as
it is in Georgia. And if the

successfully in Japan, it is sue

How frail are we, her children!

Adjoining through that something
That seemingly enshrouds
The riddle of the ages

Then suddenly we sighted
