Trumon Says He
Intends To Urge
Civil Rights

WASHINGTON, D. c. (NNPA)
President Truman declared last
Wednesday that he intends to
urge his civil rights program with
all the vigor he posses.
In a letter to- the National Civil
Liberties Clearing House, which
held it's fourth annual conference
at Hotel 24OO lasst week, Mr.. Tru,
man said he hopes this Congress
will not adjourn without enacting
bills to carry out his program.
"I am not among those who
take the view that in timess OF
stress we must shelve all efforts
and programs for the betterment
of our people," Mr.. Truman wrote,
adding:
"The maxim, first things first,
is entitled to it's due; but it can
not stay the inexorable drive and
inevitable progress of humanity in
Kidding itself of the inequities and
imperfections of our social and
economic life.
"In this connection, it is i'm
portant to note the tremendous
gains sfor civil rights that have
been achieved in the past three
difficult years, since the filing of
the report of October, 1947, by
the Presidents Committee on Civil
Rights, in our educational systems,
i'll employment, in housing, in the
use of public accommodations, in
recreation, and in the exercise of
the attributes of citizenship.
These gains have resulted from
both the voluntary action of peo-
pie and the action of agencies of
government, administrative, judi
cial and legislative.
However, it is equally impor-
tant to note that whereas many

ure greatness in terms of size of
the purse or the gate, and most
of our people are spectators at
sports.
The ruination of many an ath-
lete begins way down in the high
school. Some of them soon show
that they feel the Importance of
their need on varsity squads. They
look for extra privileges. Feeling
that the school owes him some
thing for the prestige he brings
to the institution, it's an unusual
boy who maintains proper balance
Then, in some institutions, there
is the coach who will try to get
by with the rules on behalf of
a boy. From then on he learns the
American way of doing what you
can to gain an end without be-
ing caught.
It takes a whale of a lot Of
character taught at home to Off
set the temptations that come to
boys who compete in highly
commercialized setup like the
Madison Square Garden games.
1 doubt that any but the big
time gambler will get more than
suspended sentences. Yet the pun
ishment of the players will be life
long. All of these colored and some
of the white boys would have made
many thousands of dollars in hon
est professional circles. But, like
"Shoeless" Joe Jackson of base
ball infamy, these boys will carry
the ignomy of exposure down to
their graves.
| PHILADELPHIA - Part of the
country is still upset about the
basketball elk" scandal, which
broke recently with the end not
yet in sight. and the house is
divided.
There are some who shake their
heads and worry about the state
of our morals, and the other group
silently applauds the act of the
school boys who took the dough
and feel sorry only that they were
! caught.
Take the case of Sherman
White. Long Island University star
! tabled by the Sporting News for
All-American honors. It has been
estimated in some circles that his
acceptance of $4,000 or $4,000 cut
him out of a potential 100 grand.
1t was a cinch that he was headed
for the bigtime in pro ranks, and
the take there, plus the testimon-
ials that he could have signed, it
is believed, would topped that
figure.
But, as the LIMB intimated last
week, when you dangle a sirloin
steak in front of a hungry man,
he's not going to think too far
ahead to the strawberry shortcake
that's on the menu for dessert.

CAPITAL SPOTLIGHT
BY LOUIS LAUTIER
Tor the NNPA News Service


Washington is debating the pros
and cons of colored social organ
izations rushing pell-mell out to
the Washington National Airport
to have dinners and dances, put
ting on the dog"
The memory of some folks seems
short. They forget that until COM
paratively recently the concession
naire-Air Terminal Services, Inc.
refused to serve even interstate
colored travellers in the dining
room or coffee shop, but insisted
on their using a basement cafe
terra, and it was only Through the
persistent efforts of the late
Charley Houston that this fragrant
discrimination on a Federal reser-
vation was broken up.
Possibly the worst case was that
Of Sadie Alexander, wife of Ray
mond Pace Alexander, herself a
Philly lawyer and a member of
President Truman'S Civil Rights
Committee. She was an interstate
passenger on her way to Richmond
(Virginia) to address an annual
conference of the National Urban
League. She sought to buy a glass
of milk at the soda fountain. They
refused to sell it to her except O
condition that she took the milk
into the lobby or the Women's rest
room and drank it there.
There also, was the case of Helen
Nash, former high school teach
er, whose plane to New Orleans
was delayed in departing. Eastern
Airlines sent her into the dining
room along with other passengers
on the same flight for dinner. She
was refused service.

State Legislatures and local gov
erning bodies shave been in the
fore front of this action for i'm
provement, the Congress has as
yet failed to enact the principal
points of the civil rights program
which I first recommended to it
iii February, 1913.
"The program and bills to make
it law are before the current Con-
gresS. Making appropriate allow
ance for the extra burden on the
Congress in dealing with the ag-
gravated problems of defense and
the mobilization of our economy,
I am hopeful that the 82nd Con-
greSs will not conclude without
enacting the civil rights program
into law.
II propose to continue to urge
the program with all the vigor I
possess. BY strengthening the priv
ileges of citizenship, it will add
greater substance to the Ameri-
can tradition of equality and equal
opportunity. It is another step in
sclidifying the unity of our peo-
pie"

them up, and buying less on a CUR
rent basis. Others, he said, are
buying only what they need.
He said the buying splurge last
year had not been confined to the
housewife, and had affected every
body all along the line including
wholesalers and retailers.
Now with a plentiful supply of
foods, and retail sales slow at
present prices, he observed, it
would be logical to expect some
price cuts to move out the un-
usually heavy inventories.
The showdown in food buying
was attributed, among other
things, to controls which insure
the consumer against price in
creases, and heavier personal &in-
come taxes which leave him less
to spend.

NEW-RECORDS FOR OLD

NEW YORK The phonograph
voices of Caruso, Scott, Farrar,
Schuman-IIeinlt and other carly
century masters are being resur-
reeted by a magnetic miracle that
makes them clearer and truer to-
day than when recorded.
Other old mastcl pieces Of mu-
sic are similarly resurreetcd. The
source is records of 40 years ago.
These records contained meehan-
ical faults and occasionally shrill
or unclear tones due to slips in
singing or playing. All are cor

Six sound technicians were as
signed to use microscopes on the
old records. They followed each
sound groove, looking for bumps,
dents and other irregularities.
Most of these were due to me-
chanical causes. With sharp in
struments they smoothed all the
imperfections they could see.
Next a sound expert listened to
the music played from the smooth
ed record. He marked spots of inn
perfection. that the microscopes
missed. Records were re-examined
and smoothed as much as six
times.
After that the old record wa
played to the magnetic recording

half as wide as a postage stamp.
The tape records by magnetism.

which in tllrnfruns a speaker that
converts 1t into music. These
sounds are perfect reproductions
Of whatever is on the record. They
show up further faults. Some of
these are tiny poppy sounds.
A pop may take up nearly an
inch length of tape. This inch is
cut out with scissors and the re-
manning tape ends rejoined. The
loss on tape is so small that the
music is not affected.
There remain, finally, the faults
in singing or in Instrumental mu-
sic that were originally recorded.
This music as it comes from the
speaker is a combination of many
tones or sound frequencies. T h e
speaker can select part of these
sounds and make them either
louder or softer, and this change
correets singing and playing
faults.
If the voice lacks clearness, part
of the frequencies, but not all Of
them, are made louder. If too
shrill, part of the frequencies, but
again not all of them, are made
softer.
When all the faults have been
corrected, the voice of the cleo
trical speaker is recorded on a
new master record, a reproduction
of the old. but better record
than the original.
