BY ne Asseeiossd Pres.
LONDON, April 5.-Sir Stafford
Grips reported to the House Of
Commons yesterday that Britain
and her sterling area partners
earned $40 million more than they
spent in the first three months
of 1850.
1t was the most favorable eco
nomic report the chancellor Of the
iexchequer has been able to give
since the war.
In addition to the bloc's $40
million favorable balance in It's
trade with the dollar area during
the quarter. Britain drew 1929
million from Americas European
Recovery program funds and
$27 million from a Canadian loan
AS a result the sterling area S
gold-dollar reserves shot up from
a dangerous low of s1.688. .o00. 900
to 81, 1884 900, ,000-within $16 mil
lion of the 50 billion which Sir
Stafford has described as the
minimum for safety.

Senate Agrees 10 Stay
In Session Today Till
DIP Issue Is Settled
BY the kssoeiofed Press

The Senate comes up to its
first votes today on the hotly
argued issues Of how many war
refugees should be admitted to
the United States, and how they
are to be selected.
Senators agreed to remain in
session until the matter is settled.
Senator Kilgore, Democrat, of
West Virginia, VINO leads a coali-
ton Of Democrats and Republi-
cans backing President Truman S
request for liberalization and ex-
tension of the displaced persons
program, predicted victory by "a
comfortable margin if all Senators
are present and voting"
Senator Kilgore and his group
sponsor a substitute for a bill
approved January 25 by the Sen
ate judiciary Committee.
Would Extend Program One Year.
Both measures would extend
present DIP legislation for another
year beginning July l. The COM
mittee bill would increase to $780,
900 the number Of persons to be
admitted. The substitute proposes
$4,000. Present law provides for
205.000.
Chairman McCarran Of the
Judiciary Committee said he
thinks the committee bill will go
through "but it may take some
time"
In all my II years in the Sen
ate I have never encountered so
much pressure on one measure"
he added. There are sworn state
ments that 81 million has been
spent lobbying on this, and no
body knows how much more"
With more than 100 amend
ments pending and more expected,
both Senator McCarran and Sem
ator Kilgore agreed the Senate
was certain to work overtime.
Senator McCarran said all the
amendments must be acted on
before the showdown between the
two bills.
Tiahtens Up DIP Screening.
A DIP bill was passed by the
House last June O. Senator Kill
gore said the substitute bill in the
Senate retains most of the provi-
sions of the House bill plus few
amendments that House sponsors
should welcome"
Our bill tightens up the screen
Ing and checking of DPS to be ad-
mitted, allows admission of 5000
war orphans who have been
adopted and also contains some
other provisions not considered by
the House." he said.
The committee bill would retain
provisions that 40 per cent of
those admitted be from Baltic
areas and 80 per cent farmers.
President Truman cited these
and other restrictions as discrimi-
natory against Jews and Catholics
The substitute bill would remove
the restrictions.

Co-Op Proposal
Defeated in
Housing

WASHINGTON (ANP) Presi-
dent Truman's domestic Fair Deal
program got another black-eye
last Wednesday when the House
of Representatives defeated the
"middle o e" cooperative
section of the omnibus housing
bill. After the coop proposal was
defeated by a 218 to 155 vote,
the House passed the remaining
portion of the bill by a vote of
361-1O.
The Houses action followed a
similar action by the Senate last
week. The move to strike out the
middle income" section was led
by Rep. Jesse P. Wolcott (R.,
Mich.) and was supported by a
coalation of Republicans and
Southern Democrats.
The defeat of this section of
the housing bill will impose a ter
rifle hardship upon a number of
Negro families whose incomes dis
qualifying them for housing pro-
jects and still they do not have a
sufficient income to merit the high
price housing.

African Report

was discussed here last week at
a press conference conducted by
DR.. Claiming H. Tobias, director

The report, titled "A Survey Of
African Students Students in the

study made by DR.. Sloan and
Ivor C. Cummings of Sierre Lee
one, a member of the British
Colonial office welfare depart
ment and the directorate of col

DR.. Sloan and Cummings inter-
viewed hundreds of African stu
dents in schools throughout the

a chance. Moreover, it is diff
cult for any man to hear too
many good things about himself
without believing some of them.
If we expect our rockies to per-
form like veterans and measure
arms with veterans, we are ex-
pecting too much. Just how Jack
lie and Larry Dolby and Don New
combe and Satchel Paige could
carry the load Of their playing
and our load Of rampant ex-
pectations has been a miracle
but even miracles are not eter-
nal. If over-boosting does not
turn the head of these young fell
lows it certainly predisposes them
to overriding themselves trying to
live up to advance notices and the
plaudits Of the crowds.
When these fellows try and
fail they have a sense of frustra-
ton and futility that the young
players do not have. We seldom
see an over-boosted white player
make good. Monte Kennedy and
Cline Hartung are good examples.
The guys up there who r play
ing the life out of the big leagues
are fellows who were not over
boosted but who had to fight for
what they got. At any rate the
fellow who comes too highly
recommended starts under a sew
ere handicap even like the chill
dren of prominent parents.
This article is written in be-
half Of the fine boys we now have
in the major leagues. I would love
to see them let alone and given
the latitude they need to make
good and not overwhelmed with
our deep anxieties for their sue
cess. Some boosting has it's place
but too much boosting can be a
distinctive handicap to the boys
we are depending on to carry the
races c%olors, Too much boosting
places the boys under too great a
strain. Let us be more restrained
in our enthusiasm lest we hinder
the very thing we try to help. The
Negro press has the answer.

cal contest. There was a youth
who had marked oratorical gifts
and who made a yearly effort to
capture a prize. He failed three
years in succession. He tried too
hard. His parents and relatives
and friends were over-anxious for
him to come through and they
usually took the front seat and
of course their great and grave
anxiety had a depressing effect
on the aspiring orator. The pres
sure of their immediate presence
and their Wanted eagerness was
too much for the lad. I sensed
the trouble and begged them to
take back seats while he made his
fourth try for the prize. It work
ed like a charm. That night with
his parents and friends on back
seats the youth rose to towering
heights and won the prize by a
wide margin.
In previous years he was en-
barrassed by those who were too
anxious for his success. He was
trying too hard. All he needed
was Just a little latitude and when
he got it he made good with a
rush. The foregoing illustrates
some thoughts that have been con-
stantly turning over in my NINA
with regard to u Negro big
league baseball players There is
a question in my mind if we are
not injuring them by too much
pressure. Of course, it goes with
out saying that we r all over
anxious about them but we must
not let our over-anxiety handicap
them in the great task they are
called upon to perform. OF
course, as a race we are spoiled
by the phenomenal performance
of Joe Louis whose fistic PROV
ess boosted the tagging morale
Of a struggling race. But fighting
now and then is nothing like being
under pressure every day.
Our baseball heroes have done
a fine job and their promise is
great but there is grave doubt as
to whether we are helping them
or hindering them by our un-
conscious pressures we exert by
our too great boosting and en-
thusiasm. A little more modesty
in our boosts and a little more
yelling of cur consuming anxiety
for tn e success would be OF
great value to them in the stress
and strain of a terrific campaign.
Those boys have been marvellous
but they are human and they like
others who have gone before them

The method used in making these
prints is the collotype which is the
most delicate Of reproductive proc
sses and one which brings the
finest results. The paintings are
SO perfectly reproduced that at O
distance of 20 feet the artists OF
the original canvases cannot dis
tinguish their originals from the
print. The process is a real photo
graphic one with line, form, color
and technique brought as close to
perfection and exact reproduction
as is possible. The highest priced
as well as the best reproductions
are made in Collotype.
The proceeds from the exhibit
will go towards buying reproduc-
