French Give Clock
And CondeIobro to
President Truman

An 18th century musical clock
and two golden-hued candelabra
were given to President Truman
today for the renovated White
House by Henri Bonnet, French
Ambassador to the United States
The Ambassador made the pres
entation in the name of President
Vincent Aurio1 of France. He
said they were "a token Of the
gratitude and friendship of the
French people for the people OF
1.-THE United States"
Ambassador Bonnet explained
the clock and candelabra were
acquired especially for the occa-
sion by President Auriol. The
clock, the Ambassador explained,
plays pastoral music of the 18th
century before each hour on a
tiny organ hidden in a gold case.
The clock is the work of the cele-
brated sculptor Goutierre. 1t is
mounted on a white marble base
and supported by two cupids
astride bronze animals.
Mr.. Truman told reporters jok-
|ingly- that the animals are Demo-
cratic goats" and added that

The reference was to the party
factions in Jackson County, Mo-,
which had been known as goats

The Senate District Committee
probably will act next Tuesday on
a perfected draft of the Nicely
Duff bill for open and regulated
primaries here to elect delegates
to the national political conven-
tionS.
If enacted, the measure would
come too late to be effective for
the selection of delegates to the
national conventions in Chicago
in July.
One departure found in the new
bill would permit use of primary
election machinery for official ref
erendums on important local
issues.
This could be invoked under the
new Neely-Duff bill by request of
either the District Commissioners
or Congress.
Home Rule Angle.
This is a home rule angle that
some hackers of the bill thought
might jeopardize its enactment.
But the sponsors of the bill went
ahead with it on the ground that
many State laws provide for such
referendum voting.
Sponsors said the bill does not
deal with controls over the city
government but merely would pro-
vide for referendum voting or spe-
cial occasions to determine the
wishes Of District citizens on city
issues.
The Neely-Duff bill would call
for the appointment of a bipar-
tiSan board Of elections to regu-
late the election Of District party
elections and delegates to national
conventions.

The referendum provision was
written into the bill largely on the
recommendations Of Senator Case,

Waller White Urges
Fight on Segregation

A Negro leader last night urged
a fight on any program that en-
Icourages continued segregation in
the South.
Walter White, executive secre-
Itary, National Association for the
Advancement Of Colored People,
addressed the Conference on the
Courts and Racial Indignation in
America at a dinner at Howard
University.
He declared that a court victory
against racial segregation will
be fastened If educators help the
movement.
There is no alternative to court
action in the elimination of segre-
cation of the schools and colleges
of the Nation" he declared.
The speaker anticipated the
probability of integrated schools
in South Carolina and Georgia
within our lifetime" But he said
this will be brought about largely
by court action.
Another speaker, Lester B.
Granger Of the National Urban
League, said there is a need for an
understanding of the problems
faced by Negroes in the current
rapid industrialization in the
South.
The conference will close with
a public meeting tonight. Speak
ers will sum up the discussions on
the segregation question in group
meetings during the conference.

Negro Leader Hits
Businessmen Of Race
For Slow Progress

Failure of Negro businessmen to
attend meetings for their advance
ment was scored today at a Com
merce Department conference.
James E. Hurt, jr., vice presi-
dent of the Employees Loan and
Investment Co., Inc, of st. Louis
Mo-, colored leader, deplored the
small attendance. The occasion
was the seventh Conference on the
Negro in Business, sponsored by
the Commerce Department. Only
about so persons were in the audi
forum.
"The Negro businessman has
not yet realized his responsibility
to the community" declared Mr.,
Hurt. when he does, he'll have
good public relations. 1t is the
respo nsibility~ of businessmen to
make PLACES for young men and
|wumen. The trouble siS, there is
no progress Tor the most part in
many Negro businesses. We want
more businessmen to come out
and attend these conferences" d.
Emmer Martin Lancaster, adj
wiser on Negro affairs to Secretary
of Commerce Sawyer, said busi-
ness it looking to the SIS billion
Negro market. He is in charge of
the conference.
j. r. Conner, editor of the Anvil,
official publication of the Amer
lean Public Relations Association,
said white businessmen are also
shortsighted in failing to attend
meetings for their betterment.
The essence of good public rela-
tons in a business, he said. is to
make all employees realize they are
working together for the customer.
Courtesy pays big dividends, he
declared.
He said employees must be po-
lite. They must sell service, relia-
bllity, satisfaction, he declared.
Ludlow, Werner, president of
Ludlow Werner Associates, New
York and Walton Onslow, presi-
dent of the Washington Chapter,
of the Public Relations Society of
America, also spoke.
This afternoons session was de-
voted to market surveys and small
business. William Coyle, promo
ton director of The Star, was to

Under the proposal, cash pay
ment would be made to the den
lists as soon as a patient agreed
to have necessary work done.
Patients then would repay a
simplified bank loan in regular
monthly payments. The patients
would be charged a service fee
for every 500 loaned by the bank
Briefly. it would work like this:
A patient needing 500 worth

AS soon as the loan was ap-
proved, the dentist, having set
up appointments for the dental
work, would be paid sos by the
bank. Five per cent of the bill
would be paid into a common. re-

ID. c. Dental Society Reodies
New Budget Payment Plan

Officers of the bank, decided that
loans of $500 or less should be
repaid over a period of six
months. Larger loans would be
repaid over longer periods. No
loans for less than $50 would be
granted.
Proponents Stress Benefits,
Proponents of the plan, which
has been approved by the society's
Executive Committee, stress these
benefits over post-payment plans
in effect in some cities:
l. Patients can attend to all
loan details in the dentists Office,
2. Patients would have no direct
contact with banks or loan COM
panies-the plan is, they say,
health insurance with premiums
due after the professional services
are necessary"
3. Interest rates are lower than
rates in effect in many plans.
4. Dentists would be protected
against delinquent accounts.
5. Patients would agree to nee
essary dental work they might
otherwise put off because of the
high cost.
The Economics c om mittee,
headed by DR.. Albert Goldblatt,
set up the plan so that payments
to more than one dentist could be
made. In other words, one loan
would take care of the payments
to a general practitioner, to a
dental surgeon, periodontist, or
any other specialist whose services
would be needed in the course of
treatment. The bank would take
care of making all payments.
Plans similar to this are now
in effect in Detroit, Los Angeles
and Richmond.
Any Dental Society member
could participate in the plan.
There would be no enrolment fee.
