A recital by Lily Pons can never
be a drab affair, for 1t is enhanced
by a quality of charm and pic
turesqueness that few singers in
her artistic bracket can duplicate.
In Constitution Hall, where she
sang last night under the local
auspices of the Patrick Hayes
Concert Bureau. the instanteous
applause on her entrance was as
much an appreciation Of her ap-
pearance as a tribute to the popu-
lar artist from a capacity audi
ence.
She was dressed in the red
gown-velvet bodice, with draped
taffeta silk over a pleated white
skirt-that evoked so much COM
ment at the reception following
the dinner given by President and
Nine Auriol last week at the
French Embassy in honor Of
President and Mrs. Truman. The
color scheme was most becoming,
especially since her hair has been
returned to its original dark color.
and with her flashing jewels and
a muff of real red carnations,
she had the elegant quaintness
of a long-past period.
There was q simplicity about
the program and Miss Pons' pres
entation of it that went well
with the picture she made. Very
few of the fireworks that formerly
graced her recitals were used and
then only in the Bishop-LaForge
"Lo, Here the Gentle Lark" and
Dell 'Acqua's Willamette" to which
Frank Versaci provided flute OBJ
ligatos, and in Cara Nome" from
Verdi's "Rigoletto," substituted
for the previously announced BELL
Song" from Delibes' Lakme." If
some of the bravura passages
seemed a bit labored, the sparkle
of her voice and its accurate
agility can arouse the same en-
thusiasm as in former years.
Miss Pons has grown greatly as
Ia singer of songs. Her voice has
more f1rmness of quality and
strength in the middle register
and there is more polish in her
interpretations. An occasional
Ibreathlessness did not interfere.
The songs chosen. with the ex-
ception of seven by Debussy. were
those that might appear on any
singers program and held no
novelty interest. Debussy's "Ro-
|mance," Green" "Mandoline, +"
"Rondel chinois,". "."Pierrot," "Clair
de lune" and "Fantoches," present
"a variety of interpretive problems
that the artist solved with agree
able effect.
Rachmaninoff's Songs of
Grusia" and Rimsky- -Korsakoff's S
1.-THE Rose and the Nightingale"
were among the best presented.
Bachelet's "Chere mutt" is rather
taxing for Miss Pons' type Of voice
in its long. sustained measures.
Three songs from the classic era,
Campra's "Charmant papillon,"
Martini's "Plaisir d'amour." and
Pergolesi'S "Se tn m'ami," opened
the program and, although sung
with regard for style, they served
also as warming-up medium.
Miss Pons would do we'll to
try less hackneyed song list for
ner next appearance. There is a
dainty neatness about her singing
of songs that could be applied to
fresh numbers with more interest
ing results. The big moments for

others.
While Mr.. Bigbee's French left
very much to be desired, his Ital-
ian and German diction showed
schooling and was under much
better control. Caldara's "Come
raggio di sol";; Schubert's ''Du bist
die Ruh'" and Strauss "Zueig-
nung" seemed to suit his vocal
range best and to show off his
possibilities as an interpreter.
The young baritone may be satis-
fed with the reception accorded
him.

1948. AS it appeared in print dur
ing the week of April %, it read:
"Politicos accuse Walter of leaving
the country in 1948 because he
thought Dewey was going to beat
Truman" You're not denying that
a high-ranking Democrat made
that accusation, are you?
Not that it matters = but per-
sonally I shared the opinion of Val
Washington assistant to Chairman
Guy Gabrielson of the Republican
National Committee, that you were
playing politics during the 194S
campaign as hard as you could,
despite NAACP rules.
Since you bring up the subject
of McCarthyism, I note that you
now have the appreciation of the
House un-American Activities Com
cittee as an "outstanding leader
But all that is water over the
dam. The current topic for dis
cussion is whether you got the
NAACP Legal Defense and Edu-
cation Fund, a separate corpora
ton from the parent NAACP body,
to vote you an approximately SO
per cent raise of $4,000, upping
your salary from about $1,000 to
about $13,5OO at a time when the
NAACP was begging for funds.
If that item is not so, I'll eat
crow from the Capitol steps at
high noon on any day you desig-
nate. If it's true, you ought to
relinquish that pay raise and take
the same 8 per cent cost-of-living
pay increase that was voted low

POEM OF THE
WEEK
Pay Day Is Coming Soon

Pay day for all is sure to come
We will reap the seed we've soWn,
1t may be far or it may be near
In the harvest We'll be known.
Sometimes our deeds are very dark
And hidden by cunning devices,
But payday uncovers all secret sins,
Our deeds bring very large prices.
Sometimes we shift on others
The weight that is rightfully ours,
1t causes many a heartache,
And tears to be shed in showers.
But the tears we cause others to
shed
Will be doubled thrice in amount,
Then payday comes and adds one
more
For in full we must account.
Don't think for a moment that you
are hid,
For the all-seeing eye above
Is watching our every action,
Though He watches with an eye
of love.
The one that walks close by our
side
Each day we may deceive,
But by and by in the harvest,
Our pay we will receive.
Sometimes we fight when guilty
We win and think we are hid.
We feel quite safe under cover,
But payday will raise the lid.
We praise ourselves, that's nothing,
For it's true the seed man SoWs
Will give him away in the harvest,
A tree is known by the fruit it
grows.
Sometimes we steal an honor
And glory in praise from man,
But remember there is one who
sees us,
All our deeds He understands.
Some day when we least expect it,
He will reward us for what we've
done
Until we see our deeds piled up,
We can't realize the pay that's
come.
For we will reap in sevenfold
The deeds in our lives recorded,
Let them be good, or let them be
bad
We will truly be rewarded.
So while in the height of our
pleasure
In giving or taking a boon,
Let us always keep in memory
Payday is coming soon.

THE GREATEST SURPRISE
TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
BY Rev. l.. B. Nelson

CONTINUED from last Week)
Well, I must tell one on myself
now. About two years ago, my
wife and 1 were coming home from
Memphis, Tennessee, when we en-
tered the state of Texas. lost all
hope of getting food in places op-
Grated by whites. Early in the
morning, we drove into little
town of Vanhorn. I was hungry
enough to eat horse meat. We
turned off of the main highway
in the heart of town and drove
across the tracks looking for
Negro neighborhood. We drove
round and around, looking for a
Negro cafe. Finally we got tired
and drove right back to the point
where we left the main highway;
a fine cafe was located right on
the corner in the heart of town.
My wife said to me, '1et's stop
and go in this cafe, pretend we
know knothing about Jim Crow"
I said, now you want to get us
both killed in Texas. She said,
"They can't do any more than in
vite us out"
1 said alright She got out and
marched right through the front
door. To my big surprise, a Smil-
ing waitress met her and said,
have a seat" Mrs. Nelson sat
right down at the front table and
was served. I was so surprised to
see it I lost my appetite for of
all things I saw on this trip, the
most surprising to me was to see
Democracy at work in Texas.
Another experience had in the
state of Alabama last year fits in
very appropriately here. attend
ed a board meeting of the National
Baptist convention at Hot Springs,
Arkansas, and on my way back in
Little Rick, where 1 went to bed
in a lower berth. A white man
came in later and occupied the
upper. We both got up the next
morning to wash for breakfast and
when 1 moved my curtains to get
up, I surprised him and he sur
prised me. We both sat there and
looked at each other like two
crazy men. Finally he said to me,
"Where are you from?" 1 said 1
was from Arizona. He said, "Well,
YOU can tell the world that the
old South is changing, isn't it?' I
said yes, here is proof of that fact
right here. He said, What is
that?" I said, you and 1 are in
the same pullman car riding and
sleeping together" He said, you're
darn right, but don't you know l
find fault with the white ministry
for much of the misunderstanding
existing between the races down
here in the South? Had they
preached to us the true Father
hood of God, and the real Brother
hood of man, you and 1 would
have been riding together long
before now" He and I went to
the diner for breakfast.
BY this time we were on the
outskirts of Birmingham. Here. 1
met with another surprise. I went
in looking for the curtain divid-
ing the Negroes from the White.
They did not draw it on me. l
said deep down in my heart, L
thank you, God, that have lived
to see Democracy at work in the
deep South.

Of them do not agree with him This is
what he calls ''disunity'
One OF the major errors in fact of his
talk Sunday was to state that Senator
Byrd is fighting Truman because he has
attempted to give the Negro his rightful
place in America. Or. Penn knows as well
IS anyone else that Senator Byrd is fight
ing Truman to save the United States from
financial and moral ruin. If he has op-
posed the FEPC it is because he, like mil
hons of other Americans, believes h a t
government was never meant under our
Constitution to dictate to employers whom
they should or could hire.
The Negro is entitled to do everything
he can to advance his interests but when
he accepts advice to become a pressure
minority he must realize that this very act
arouses opposition capable Of defeating
those interests. The Negro has made tre-
mendous strides in the South in &c years
since slavery. They have been made with
sympathetic cooperation of the white race.
Nothing could be create disservice
TO the Negro than to make of him a sep
arate political pressure bloc 1t will de-
feat his own cause in the South
