POEM OF THE WEEK:
II You We're Busy

II you were busy being kind,
Before you knew it, you would
find
You'd soon forget to think twas
true
That someone was unkind to you,
100000
II you were busy being glad,
And cheering people who are sad,
Although your heart might ache
a bit,
You'd soon forget to notice it.
100000
II you were busy being good,
And doing just the best you
could,
You'd not have time to blame
some man
Who's doing just the best he can.
100000
If you were busy being right,
You'd find yourself too busy quite
To criticize your neighbor long
Because he's busy being wrong.

The Miami man who has guided
more federal prisoners on parole
or probation back to useful lives
than any other private citizen is
a retired Negro preacher.
Frank A. Edwards, chief pro-
baton officer for the federal
court here, would like to find
more people like Rev. w. o,
BARLEY, 6393 NV 18th ave.
The Rev. BARLEY, whose ac-
tivity denies his 20 years, has
served as supervisor for 20 Ne
gro men and women on parole
or probation during the past Is
years. None of them has ever had
to 60 back to prison, and Edwards
credits this fact to the kind and
understanding counseling of the
mellowed Methodist minister.
1t was in 1887, shortly after he
became probation officer, that
Edwards first called on the pas
tor of the Ebenezer Methodist
Church to a Negro who had vio-
lated federal law.
The Rev. BARLEY had come to
Edwards to see if a boy in prison
couldn't be put on parole. Ed
wards agreed providing some re-
sponsible person would be will
ing to keep an eye on the boy.
The dignified Negro preacher
volunteered for the job and has
not turned down a call for help

They hedged, however, when
questioned on specific points Of
hiring more Negro employees
throughout their vast company.
A Negro scene designer, Perry
Watkins, has been hired in its
television division, NBC reported,
but held out no prospects of hir-
ing Negro announcers, writers,
directors or vice-preSidents.
The networks meeting with
Negro leaders was the second
such affair; the first having been
held in New York on Oct. % un-
der the direction of the Radio
Corporation of America, of which
NBC is one of its subsidiaries.
1t was prompted by the NAACP
and the Committee for the Negro
in the Arts startling surveys on
discrimination against Negroes in
radio which had revealed that
MIC was almost a lily-white net
work.
1t was arranged by Joseph Ba-
ker, now acting as MICS public
relations adviser on the Negro
question.
1t opened in studios at WMAQ
with Willard Townsend of the
CLIO and Dowdal Davis, editor Of
the Kansas City Call, both picked
by Baker as spokesman for Ne
gro leaders, speaking on the rise
of Negro business in America and
the significance of the Negro
press.
Davis bluntly told the gather
ing that explosive race prejudice
in America was of far more dang
er than any possible atomic at
tack from abroad.
"The avid and determined
search of the darker peoples all
over the world for freedom is
very much like what Negroes in
the United States are searching
for" he said.
He called for action against job
discrimination and stated that
weasel words aren't sufficient
any longer to relieve our democ-
racy of its crushing burden of
hypocracy and deceit"
NBC countered with an off-the-
point discussion by Sydney Eiges
vice president in charge of press,
concerning its desire to have
friendly and cordial relations
with the Negro press and from
William Brooks, vice president in
charge of public relations, con-
corning NBC difficulties in elm
mating race stereotypes from
scripts and songs and some casual
mention of their hiring policy.
Brooks admitted that MICS
hiring history had not heretofore
been one which invited Negro
employees into the lucrative ra-
dio field but stated that in New
York - which has state FEPC
law - they now list their job va
cancies with the Urban league
and other Negro agencies.

hasn't excelled at ground covering
and Runnels, who came to the

extensively and defensively.
Runnels has displayed no pro-
f1ciency on slow rollers and has
been a hesitant thrower. He isn't
the same hitter Harris watched
in spring training, either, but
Bucky is attributing much of
Runnels' slow start to under
standable nervousness at being
projected into the big time after
being only a half season removed
from Texarkana of the Big State
League.
"Runnels is nervous and he
shows it, admits Harris, "but any
