mencement exercises yesterday al
Howard University took sharp is
sue with the approach of some
of the leading presidential candi-
dates of both parties who would
leave the matter to the States.
II am not one of those who feel
that we can leave these matters
up to the States alone, or that
we can rely solely on the efforts
of men of good will" Mr.. Tru-
man told an audience estimated
at $4,000. The address was de-
livered before 691 members of the
graduating class.
Slap at Generals Implied.
In urging the program of a Fair

sion, poll tax repeal and an anti
lynching law. Mr.. Truman directed
what seemed to be a slap at Gen
Eisenhower, one of the leading
contenders for the Republican
presidential nomination, and Gen.
Macarthur, designated as the Re-
publican convention keynoter.
Mr.. Truman said experience has
exploded a contention by "some
|of our greatest generals" that
white and Negro troops could not
be fully integrated into the Army
forces.
Without mentioning either gen.
|eral by name. the President said
|pointedly that the progressive
|integration" of Negroes into white
units in the Far East was ordered
by Gen. MacArthur's successor
Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway. He
also said that a similar order re-
Gently was issued in the European
command at the direction Of the
Secretary of the Army.
Gen. Eisenhower four years ago
told a Senate committee he IA
vored organizing Negroes in units
of 40 or so men-no larger-in
the armed forces. At the time
he spoke out against complete
segregation, and yesterday he
went further, saying that after
the war he had fought for inte-
grafton of Negroes, but that the
general staff didn't pay much at
tention to his suggestions.
Comment of Senators.
Mr.. Truman's speech brought
an immediate comment from sew
eral members of Congress. Sen
lator Ellender, Democrat, of LOU
lsiana charged that Mr.. Truman
is still playing politics with this
tissue"
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat,
OF Arkansas said the speech was
mot calculated to promote har-
mony within the Democratic
Party or among races"
Senator Mundt. Republican, OF
South Dakota expressed the opin-
ion that the issue raised by Mr.
Truman could split and defeat
the Democrats hopelessly in the
election"
From Senator Lehman, Demo-
crat-Liberal, of New York came
high praise for the address. He
described it as "a great speech, a
statesman like pronouncement, p"
and said he would make use of it
at the Democratic National Con-
vention.
I'm on the Platform Commit
tee of the national convention, +"
Senator Lehman added, "and I'm
going to cite this speech and fight
for strong, specific platform
planks for FEPC law with teeth
in it" ,
OF all the presidential candi-
dates, only two Democrats, Sena-
tor Mcmahon of Connecticut and
Mutual Security Director w: Aver
ell Hartman, have given solid in
dorsement to the Truman pro-
gram. Other candidates in both
parties. have professed various
shades of opinion on handling the
whole civil rights issue, but al
ways with the cumpulsion factor
lacking.

The WSB. in addition to recon-
adoption of a union shop

that all workers must belong to
the union-suggested a 26-cent-

now average about $1.95 an hour.

averaging only 1873 cents an hour
over the 18-month period starting

union said, "is less than the spiral

Sponsor Clearly Is Boss
Of Your TV Entertainment
By Harry Macarthur

The sponsor, If you don't mind
starting a week on a gloomy note,
seems to be firmly in control.
His stranglehold on television
seems as firmly locked as it was
on radios neck all those years.
There was a time when the tele-
vision broadcasters might have
grasped control Of their own art
and held it. Now, however. that
seems so long ago.
There are TV broadcasters, of
course. who viii tell you that they
are still boss. They will point with
pride to their public service
efforts. They will cite show after
show which was created by and
is controlled by a network rather
than an advertising agency, which
was seldom the case in radio.
The trouble with the broad
casters self defense is that you
can cite case after case right back
at them wherein a sponsors
whims rather than any audience
desire guided events. All Of the
kicking around Of "Kukla, Fran
and Ollie" for instance, was in
spired solely by commercial pres
ISures. Certainly any wishes Of the
I"K-F-O" audience were secondary
II the audience rated that high
with NBC-TV.
Another case is that Of 1.-THE
Goldbergs." You haven't seen
"The Goldbergs" this year simply
because NBC couldn't bring time
and . sponsor together, not be-
cause a time and an audience
couldn't be found.
Then there is "One Mans
Family" It's loss is no personal
loss at all to this viewer, but II
did have an audience Of notable
size. That would seem to merit
lit a place in the programming
schedules, since 1t still is the
peoples air. But zone Mans
Family" was without sponsor at
the moment of its scheduled re-
turn and a free-spending sponsor
wanted the time period for some
thing else. It wasn't the audience
the network decided to keep
happy.
= 4 \ 4
The crowning blow up to
this point has been the loss Of
"Mr. Peepers." the delightful
comedy series starring Wally Cox.
There were tele7iewers who loved
that one. But 1t was q summer
replacement and a sponsor had
contracted for something else in
that time. slot when the summer
was over, which it Is.
Now comes word that ''Whis-

Sometimes 1t seems that tele-
vision is bent upon driving every
one back to radio. If this is true
it will launch as vicious a circle
as you ever saw.
You turn on the radio to find
out why radio broadcasters are
crying over their fiscal affairs
and you find they certainly
shouldn't be. All over the dial
you find not merely spot an
nouncements. but double spots

Radio Is doing its best to drive
everybody to television.

DEAR MISS NISSEN: When my
husband left me. almost four years
ago, was 81 and thought I could
never love again. I was 16 when
we were married; he was 18. After
four years, during which he served
in the Army. he went to work in
another city, from which he wrote
asking for a divorce. For four
years I refused him. supporting
myself and two children in the
meantime. I prayed he would
realize his mistake and come back,
but finally. last month, / signed
the last paper setting him free.
My heart was broken and I was
sure I would never know happiness
again.
Now I have had a new job for
three months and see a certain
man every day. I have become
so fond Of him that. even though
! am against divorce and second
marriage. I am sure if he asked
me to marry him I couldn't re-
fuse. He hasn't asked me to go
out with him but I know he likes
me. We have talked very little
about ourselves but he knows my
situation. and about the children.
I haven't even thought of my hus-
band IN two months, but find my
self waiting for every glimpse of

this man. Could there be any hope
for a future with him?
ANSWER: While there is little
help that I can give-or that you
would accept-my chief purpose ir
publishing your letter is to prove
that broken hearts can heal. Per-
haps not always with the rapidity
with which yours was mended, but
"a bright future looms ahead in
almost any disaster.
You are, to be perfectly blunt,
making a fool of yourself over this
business acquaintance. Your let
ter very clearly leaves open the
possibility that he may be mar
Iried-a fact you apparently have
neglected to ascertain. His actions
toward you are typical of the usual
office philanderer. A few stolen
kisses, mutual f1attery and decla-
rations of pseudo-affection can
tighten the monotony of a days
work, and I greatly fear that that
is all you mean to your Lothario.
Your life has not been too well
ordered since your much -too-early
marriage, but you now are Is, and
should be experienced enough to
separate the real from the spur
ious. With one disasterous mar
riage behind you. don't make the
horrible mistake Of taking on an
other one.
Your moral objections to second
marriage are matter between you
and your conscience. If you need
