Centennial Is
Celebrated For
Uncle Toms Cabin

1t was just 100 years ago this
summer that Harriet Beecher
Stoves Uncle Toms Cabin" be-
gan to rouse public sentiment on
the slavery issue. The Chicago
Historical Society is commemo-
rating the event with an exhibit
Of books posters, early editions,
and other memorabilia.
Running serially in an obscure
abolitionist weekly, 1t started on,
as fictionalized treatise setting
forth the evils of slavery as an
institution established by law. II
soon developed into one of the
worlds best sellers and biggest
stage hits of all time, stirred pub
lie feeling to a fever pitch, and
helped bring on the Civil War
and consequent abolition of slav-
cry.
The exhibit was set up early
this summer, with the help of
museums and individuals else
where, to commemorate this CEN
tennial of one of the most influ-
entail books ever published in the
United States.
Special Current Interest
Because the exhibit points up
the ardent public interests in an
reaction to slavery as portrayed
by Uncle Toms Cabin" it has
special interest at this time of
concern over the race problem in
the United States. The recent
Cicero riot near here has empha-
sized this.
The exhibit is a Chicago first"
and museums have regarded 1852
as the publication of the book.
However, it was first published
serially in the National Era, an
antislavery journal, with the first
installment appearing on June S,
1851.
A copy of this issue. scores of
first editions of the book in many
languages, stage tableau of
Little Eva and Uncle Tom, sheet
music, and flamboyant show bills
featuring bloodhounds, overseers'
whips, and a terror-stricken Eliza

stream help make up the exhibit.
In March, 1853. John P. Jewett

brought out the book in two vol
umes, bound in black cloth. Only
5000 copies were printed because

Members Of Steel

Eight-ddY Voyage

The sixteen members of the
Antigua Steel Band, headed by
George Joseph, finally arrived
at their home port in Antigua
after a very trying eight-day
voyage in the Schooner "War
Risk" which brought them
here.
Mr.. Joseph wrote that the
trip was the worst he and his
men had ever experienced des-
pite the fact that they had
perfectweather. The men suf-
fered and, in his words, "were
just the ghosts of our natural
selves that Wednesday when
we landed in Antigua.
Both Mr.. Joseph and his men
say they still have pleasant
memories of the kindness
shown them by the people Of
st. Croix including the heavy
applause and their anxiety to
help them and finally the send
off given them as their boat
started on its voyage. They are
anxious for some Crucians to
visit Antigua SO they could
show them their appreciation,
and expressed the hope of Wis
iting here again. !.

v. I. Tourist Bodrd
Accused Of Discri.
Against ST. Croix

The Virgin Islands Tourist
Development Board has been
accused of discrimination
against certain hotels and
guest houses, according to a
letter sent Harry Goeggel,
Executive Director by Hon.
Alva c. McFarlane, Chairman
of the Legislative Assembly of
the Virgin Islands. The letter,
dated September l, states:
ct has been brought to my
attention that a photographer
employed by the Virgin Is
lands Tourist Development
Board to make a series of pic
lures Of hotel and guest house
accommodations on the island
of St. Croix as part of the pro-
motional work being carried
on by your agency, has been
rather discriminatory in the
performance Of this service.
Some owners Of local guest
houses have reported they
were informed that since the
st. Croix Hotel Association did
not include their places Of bust
ness on the list of those estab-
lishments to be photographed,
the photographer was instruct
ed NOT to include them in
his itinerary.
This appears to be rather ir-
regular, since the Virgin

Board is an fundamentally of

Islands, created by the Legis-
lative Assembly; while the St.

Old Friend Of u. 5.
May Return TO Power
In ThaiIand as Red
By the Assoeioied Prsss

HONG KONG. Feb. 21.-Sus-
picion is growing here that an
old friend of the United States
may try to ride back into power
in Thailand at the head OF a
Communist coup d'etat.
The name OF Pridi Phanaom-
yong, former Siam premier, head
of the United States-sponsored
underground in Thailand in
World War II, is beginning to
throw fear over troubled South
east Asia.
Such a coup against Premier
Pibulsonggram's pro-Western re-
gime would turn over to the Com
munists one of the richest rice
producing areas OF Southeast
Asia.
Reported in Shanghai.
Pridi last May was reported Sc
cretly rallying his followers in
side Thailand. He had fled the
country in 1947 when Pibilsong-
grams military coup d'etat over
threw the regime Pridi headed as
premier.
Pridi is reported on highest au-
thority to have gone to Shanghai
last October. He is believed to
be there still, presumably dicker-
ing with the Chinese Communists
for terms on a return to power.
Anonymous leaflets recently
have been distributed in Thai
lands capital of Bangkok pro-
claiming that Pridi will return
this spring. =
Added to this is the fact that
for the past week Chinese Com
munist propaganda has been 60
ing full blast against Pibulsong-
grams government.
Pridi More Popular.
Thailand's Premier is known to
have made numerous attempts in
Hong Kong to locate Pridi. It is
understood that he wanted to offer
Pridi place in the government
in order to remove him from the
ranks Of the opposition.
Astute observers contend that
Pibulsonggram never has been as
popular in Thailand as Pridi.
Pibulsonggran declared war
against the Allies in World War
II, was Premier under the jap
anese, and was tried by his own
people as war criminal. He re-
turned to power by a military
coup.
Pridi, on the other hand. di-
rected underground efforts of the
United States Office of Strategic
Services during the latter stages
of the Japanese war.
