CAPITAL SPOTLIGHT
By LOUIS LAUTIER


man Rights is dickering for the
Statler Hotel for its annual din
ner Ben Amos has been ap-
pointed an attorney in the War
Claims Commission. He owes his
appointment to Representative
Bill Dawson, of Illinois, vice chair
man of the Democratic National
Committee.
DR.. w. E. Burghardt Du Bois,
the scholar, told a Yale audience
that Ralph Bunche was not the
only capable colored man in the
United States = that there are
hundreds of others just as capable
who should be given a chance.
Belford Lawson, Alpha Phi Alpha
president, spoke on the same pro-
gram with Du Bois.
whats in a name?" asked
Shakespeare. "a rose by any other
name would smell just as sweet"
When and if President Truman
issues an executive order Great
ing an FEPC, it will not be named
Fair Employment Practice Com
mittee but the Manpower Re-
sources Board.
Dismissal of Hobart Corning as
Superintendent of Schools here
and retirement of Garnet Wilkin-
son, First Assistant Superintendent
which is past due, would be good
riddance.
Their barring of Pearl Buck,
the author, from speaking at Car
dozo High, and cancellation of in
vitations to Max Lerner, of the
New York Post editorial staff, and
DR.. D. Charles H. Thompson, dean
of the Graduate School at How
ard University, to speak during
the centennial celebration of
Miner Teachers College, were the
heighth of stupidity.
But it was no sillier than the
banning from Dunbar High of
scenes from Faith of Our Faith
ers," the Paul Green drama writ
ten for the Washington sesqui-
centennial, because the cast was
mixed.
The presumption is that Corn
ing is. determined to carry seq
regation in the local public schools
to the nth degree, making it
against the rules for white per-
sons to speak at colored schools
and vice versa.
Mrs. Buck and Lerner are white.
They also are uncompromiSing
foes of racial segregation, as is
DR.. Thompson. The invitation to
Lerner could not be withdrawn
without causing ruckus = un-
less the invitation to DR.. Thomp-
son also was withdrawn. So, both
invitations were withdrawn after
their names were. not approved by
Corning as speakers at Miner.
The sad part is that Garnet -
although one of the laws relied
upon to maintain Jim Crow schools
here puts him in charge OF the
colored schools - "yessed" Corn
ings didos.

A young girl writes me: when
a man calls for his date and gets
talking with the family, or looking
at television. is it my place to re-
mind him that it is time to go or
wen miss the second showing at
the movies? (He had originally
asked me to 60 to the movies.)
Would it seem impolite?"
I don't think that you can ask
him when he seems to be inter-
Iested in television. The next time
I advise you to have your coat on

I had to leave him, taking our boy

now 7. We've never heard from

marry. I'd like to have a happy
marriage. who wouldn't? I'd like
to have a substitute father for my
son, too. He's nearing the age
when he needs the influence and
example of a man.
| Now I have an opportunity to
marry a man who seems superior
in every way. He, too. was un-
happily married and he tells me
his one great desire now is to have
a wife who will fill the void in his
life. He's really quite poetic when
he talks about it!
But the hitch is that he doesn't
want my son. He says that hav-
ing the boy around the house
would always remind him of the
other man in my life; he'd always
be thinking of my previous mar
riage and that wouldn't be fair to
me. So he says if we marry I'll
have to send the boy to live with

Nice looking, young Carltor

his bailiwick in the Pacific which
according to Carlton, has numer'
Gus earmarks of a summer resort
The climate, that one would i'm
agine to be steaming on th'
weensy sun-swept, ocean-lockee
island, is never as hot and humie
as it was here on June "a for in
stance. The temperature out
there, he said, never rises above
90 degrees nor drops below TO
which is quite a record even for 6
spa.
There is considerable entertain.
ing, too, demanded of the Gov.
ernor and his wife, who is the
former Washington Junior Lacquer
Jean Rowe. Besides a fairly con-
slant number of dinners, they
have to toss occasional reception.
for anywhere from 500 to 300
people. When they first arrived
there and inherited a mansion
minus servants, Jean nearly
knocked herself out the first two
weeks taking care of everything
|singlehanded plus watching ovel
their two children, Franz and An
dria. Now, however, all run!
smoothly and the young guberna.
torial couple have time for thu
frequent ceremonies that take
place on the island. Carlton /.
forever presenting diplomas, lay.
ing cornerstones, opening benefit!
and making dedication speeche!
such as on the recent occasion
when a 14-foot-high bronze mode
of the Statue of Liberty was un.
yelled on its 16-foot pedestal il
the harbor of Guam. Similar mod.
els are being installed in othel
American harbors on the globe.
Some folks at home may raist
their eyebrows in horror, but cock.
fighting is the chief sport on the
island, and the only legalized form
of gambling. II it's considered
bloody here, it's looked upon a:
a blessing out there where a six.
day cockfight benefit recently
raised $4,000 toward building &
hospital! And this midst a popu.
lation of about 10000, only $4,000
of which are natives. Expanded
military construction there ac-
counts for the rest.
Right now Jean Skinner anc
their children are spending the
summer in Long Beach. Calf

Rowes, and she won't be going tt
Guam till she's had a visit with
her friends in Washington. 1r

my mother. She is a widow with
a home big enough to take him in.
My mother isn't enthusiastic about
taking the boy, but she says she
doesn't want to stand in the way
of my happiness and, if that is the
way to attain it, she'll take him.
Although she doesn't say so, can
see that she doesn't approve of my
proposed marriage.
Il don't know whether approve
Of it myself. DR.. Popenoe. I've
never been in such a difficult
situation before. I want a home
and husband. want a son and
I want a father for that son; but
I lose them both if I get the
husband! 1t seems as if no matter
what I do I'll be unhappy"
Really. Mrs. L., I don't think
the choice is quite as difficult as
you make it appear. I suspect
your mother and your friends feel
as do about it, that this prospec-
tive husband is a gold brick.
II he were a real man, he
wouldn't be so self -centered. He
might get almost as much enjoy
Iment from having a stepson as
from having a wife. Apparently.
however he is merely a spoiled
child who looks forward to hav-
ing you fuss over him and wait
on him and he can't bear the idea
.of sharing this attention with any,
one else
If you were to marry him. or
any other man. it would be en-
tirely proper to make other
arrangements for your son for the
first few months while you and
your new husband enjoyed a
honeymoon. But, in the circum-
stances you describe, you would
be depriving your son of a father
and you probably would be de-
'priving yourself of a real husband.
I think you'd get. in this match,
"a groWn-up baby-not a husband.
