READING TOO SOON MAY LEAD
TO A LATER VISUAL PROBLEM

Of concentration may prevent nor
NAL development of visual skills.
THE solution is not to forbid
such play activities because that
often makes them more attractive,
but rather to suggest that the
child play out Of doors or engage
in games that do not require near
point concentration.
IF a child shows too much
fondness for small, intricate toys,
it may be well to give him larger
toys. The child who spends too
much time drawing small designs
with sharp pencil may find just
as much fun in drawing on large
sheets of wrapping paper with a
heavy crayon."
Educators and vision specialists
are in agreement that a child
should not be encouraged to read
before entering school, according
to DR.. Eberl. It is the precocious
child who is in greatest danger OF
damaging his vision, and the Tenn
pie University study shows tina,
the intelligence - 10. - of re-
tarded readers averages higher
than that of their classmates.
Visual training, or orthoptics,
a scientific method of retraining
visual skills, offers the most effec-
tive means of correcting the vision
Of the young child whose problem
is caused by too much early con-
centration on near-point seeing, y
DR.. Eberl said.
"We know that child actually
learns to see. Since he does, good
vision can be taught. Glasses alone
cannot always solve these retarded
reading cases, but visual training.
either with glasses or without
them, usually produces the desired
results"

Unit Protest
Carried To Defense
Sec. Johnson

NEW YORK, March Conflict
between the announced non-segre-
cation policy Of the United States
Navy and the indicated possibility
that headquarters Of the Third Ma
rine Corps Reserve District may
activate an all-Negro unit in New
York City was protested this week
by NAACP Acting Secretary Roy
Wilkins in a letter to Secretary
of Defense Louis A. Johnson.
Citing two previous inquiries by
the NAACP for Qualification of
reports that such a unit might be
created, Mr.. Wilkins wrote Secre-
tary Johnson that the Association
had been informed by Major Gen
eral Oliver P. Smith, Assistant
Commandment of the Marine Corps,
that "In any area where there is
an expressed interest in the forma-
ton of a colored Marine Corps Re-
serve Unit and the population is
adequate TO support Sucn unit, the
Reserve District Commander init
ates recommendations TO effect its
organization"
Asserting that General Smith
statements reflect policy of
creating and maintaining Reserve
Marine units segregated solely on
the basis Of color" Mr.. Wilkins
charged that this policy "does not
conform with prior announcements
concerning the Indignation OF
the races in the United States
Navy and Marine Corps" He re-
quested Secretary Johnson to in
form the NAACP "as to the cor
rectness Of General Smiths state
ment."

of the Air Seminar" but we wish
to make clear at the outset that
what we say to you in this letter
is our individual and collective
opinion as individuals. Neither
the Town Hall or the organiza-
tions we represented are account
able nor responsible for our views.
They are strictly our own. The
names of the organizations we rep
resented are affixed to our indi-
vidual names for purposes of
Identification only.
you as members of the 81st
Congress are embarking on the
second session of that Congress
at what may be the most crucial
time in contemporary history. AS
makers of the laws and formu-
lators of the national policies of
the worlds most powerful and en-
We'd nation, the eyes of the world
viii be upon everything you say
and do. Particularly will this be
true when you debate and vote
upon civil rights legislation.
wherever we went on our jour
ney-Europe, the Near East, the
| Middle East, the Far East, Africa,
Asia and the Pacific-we were in
variably confronted with ques-
tons regarding mob violence. dis
elimination in employment and ed
ucation, disfranchisement and seq
regation based on race, creed,
color or place of origin. Repeat
/ edly we were asked TO explain the
signing with AZ other nations of
an international declaration of hu-
man rights by the United States
when those same rights are de-
MED certain minorities in the
United States. We found that not
only is Soviet Russia industriously
spreading the news in Asia, At
RIGA and other parts of the world
about our shortcomings but that
many countries and peoples friend
ly to us are puzzled and made
suspicious of us by these acts.
GAS American citizens we we're
appalled, at the extent of damage
to American prestige which these
anti-American practices have done.
1t is for this reason that we ap-
peal to you to keep in mind the
world as we'll as national impli-
cations of your every word and
act on this most basic of issues.
We appeal to each of you to de-
bate fully and fairly each one
of the civil rights proposals but
refrain from obstructionism and
undignified discussion. We ap-
peal to you to refrain from any
tactics to prevent a fair discus
sion and vote. We appeal to you
to think of this issue of human
rights as an American and not
a politically partisan one.
"Our nations reputation and
security hang in the balance. We
are confident that each member
of the Senate and the House of
Representatives viii fully measure
up to the grave responsibility
which is his"

FORMER PLAYB0Y
Expects War
With Russia

NEW YORK - James Hazel
Hyde, the man who once gave par
ties costing as much as 5000, 0Nt
each and spent So years of self i'm
posed exile in France, has returned
to the United States to live.
America is a great and won
derful country" he observed af
ter so many years abroad. He
lived in France until 1941.
Hyde fell heir at % to the con.
trolling interest in Equitable Life
Assurance Society of the United
States, a company with a billion
dollars worth of insurance on its
books.
Shortly after he became head
of the company, he was taken
IN tow by INSCRIPTIONS financiers
with an eye on the 400 million
dollars in Equitable assets.
These funds were manipulated to
make enormou profits for the
operators.
Gave Expensive Parties
Meanwhile, Hyde was throwing
some of his biggest parties. The
last one was held at Sherry's
ballroom in New York and is re-
ported to have cost between
500, 900 and 5000, 900. 1t drew
criticism from newspapers
throughout the country. Hyde
was called a gilded, scented youth
in editorials and the incident
helped to end his career as an ex-
cutive.
Insurance policy holders sued
the company charging officers
with squandering company funds
a n d receiving extravagagant
salaries. AS a result, Charles
Evans Hughes directed a cleanup
Of the affair and enactment of leg
islation controlling insurance
companies. 1t made Hughes a
great public figure.
When the investigation reached
the courts Hyde took the stand
and hurled charges at nearly ev-
cry important executive in the
company. He indicated that he
had been used as a catspaw.
When he left the stand, hundreds
of people followed him through
streets, cheering.
Views Russian Power
To get himself out of the mess,
however, Hyde sold his interests
the company for ST., 500, 900 and
to Paris to live. He had an
important part in liaison during
World War 1.
Now, back in New York, Hyde
laid he is going to spend the COM
ng war-he believes there will be
'ne-in America.
In explaining the present Euro
'ean situation, Hyde said, 1.-The
My thing the Russians under
