No, she's not the Ringlings'
new star. Guess again: it's
that crazy Betty Hutton. >.
Photographs BY Joseph Heppner
TADIE-E-E-s and Gentlemen! We take pride
- in presenting, for the first time under any
Big Top, movie star in mid-air. We turn the
spotlight now on that Ringing -tingling sem
sation of the circus, that favorite of the silver
screen and new queen of the trampolin-
cious, audacious, curvaceous Betty Hutton!
Ta-r-a-a-ah!
Now, nobody can say that Betty Hutton
doesn't deserve fanfare. AS these pictures
may serve to prove. she's doing her own stuff
for her role as lady aerialist in the forthcom-
ing Cecil B. De. Mile epic of the circus.
Greatest Show on Earth" No double, and
no hands. And as proof to public that might
be skeptical, she's going to perform in person
on opening day of the circus in New York.
Plensy Of Nerve
AND if the stunts that Betty does are less
than death-defying. they are still more than
little risky. Try them yourself some time
at height of 80 feet or more - the tricky
ankle drop, the bruising fall into the so-called
safety net. the simplest of trapeze fights from
one dizzy bar to the next.
Quite something for supposedly pampered
movie star to try. with no previous experience
as an acrobat or flyer. Quite a risk for
million-dollar cinema queen to take = and
she the mother of two little girls.
But that's our Betty. All the nerve in the
world. and all the brashness ''Mr De Mile,
there's nothing in the world can't do" she

Congress Urged
To Protect
Negro Troops

WASHINGTON A three-point
program to protect Negro draftees
from segregation and discfimina-
tion in the armed services was
laid down by Clarence Mitchell,
director of the Washington Blu
reau of the National Association
for the Advancement OF Colored
People, in testimony before sub
committee of the Senate Commit
tee on Armed Services.
Appearing before the subcom-
mirtee on January "a, Mr. Mitchell
said that the new selective serv-
ice law must provide that:
L All new units be organized
without racial segregation;
2. No privately owned jim-crow
establishment be used for the
housing or feeding of armed serv-
ices personnel; and
8. Racial designations he elimi-
mated from all forms and records
of military personnel.
In his testimony, Mr.. Mitchell
cited the continuing segregation
of Negro troops in the United
States Army, the humiliatinns and
mistreatment imposed upon Negro
soldiers assigned to the South for
training. and the increase in the
number of racial designations in
the army records.
"The Overwhelming majority of
NAACP members" Mr.. Mitchell
told the committee, "believe that
the government does not give suf-
fieient and necessary protection to
colored members of the armed
services when they are in the
South. 1t is a frightful thing"
&c continued, ito contemplate that
their government will call upon"
young eolored men ito risk their
lives in war and at the same time
fail to protect them against I'M
democratic practices if they are
stationed in the South. :. If the
government has power 10 draft a
man, it also has the power to
protect him wherever he may be
stationed in the United States"
