Whites Get Money Back
After Anderson Concert

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. "a
Money for $50 tickets sold to
white persons for a Marian An
derson concert here Wednesday
night was refunded because of a
clause against segregation in the
Negro singers contract.
Col. Edward F. Henry, recorder
for the Duval County armory
council, said the armory was the
first place in Jacksonville to allow
Negro audiences.
He said about 100 whites at
tended the show and that no at
tempt at segregation was made
Col. Henry said the Alpha
Kappa Alpha sorority, which
sponsored the show, decided tc
make the refunds after learning
of the clause in Miss Anderson's
contract which will not allow her
to appear before a segregated
audience.

When I filed my report later to
the Bureau, for the first time I
felt uneasy about my FBI connec-
ton. Where there were spies I
was aware that there might be
counterspies.

cell was held at my apartment, 213

Quantities of Communist litera-
ture were carried in and dis
played on top Of the cedar chest
in our living room. We were given
a little pep talk and urged to buy
as much as we could for urices
ranging from one to twenty-fiv
cents.
I learned that I had betrayed
to Toni Crosse a serious Marxist
defect when I said that wars.were
outmoded and that there should
be peaceful means for resolving
international disputes. In the
Marxist view, wars are necessary.
There are two kinds of wars, the
discussion leader explained, Just"
and unjust" wars. Communism
is opposed to wars of conquest,
imperialist wars, and those the
Communists must attempt to con-
vert into civil wars.
Indoctrination Begins.
To illustrate and prove a point
made during the discussion, the
group received as a textbook" q
pamphlet entitled Know Your
Enemy-Japan." I expected to
find it labeled Communist

mildly curious when noted that
the imprint on the pamphlet was

mended that the sale be set aside.
The report by Special Master
Albert II. Aston, who has beer
conducting hearings on the case
since 1916 when stockholdersSoi
the wire rope company protested
the sale, was the longest ever
filed in the United States Court
for the Middle District Of Penn
sylvania.
$50 Million Estimated.
The wire rope plant, operated
by Bethlehem for more than a
decade, now is estimated to be
worth some so million dollars.
Bethlehem acquired it in the
bankruptcy proceeding by paying
about $3,300,000.
Mr.. Aston, listing seven recon-
mendationS to the court, urged
that Judge Albert L. Watson set
aside the decree of foreclosure on
the plant handed down April IL,
1887, and the accompanying sale
order approved by former Judge
Albert w. johnson.
Bride Is Charged.
The report said that q $3.50, 900
payment by Bethlehem Steel to
John Memolo, who has since been
disbarred as an attorney, was a
bride to be divided among Memolo,
Judge johnson and others. The
payment was listed by Bethlehem
as being for administration ex-
penses."
Bethlehem Steel has opposed
the Federal court action since its
inception, contending that the
purchase of Williamsport Wire
Rope was legal and proper.
Steel company officials were not

The second half of the major league baseball season has begun. As always, it promises to be a case of the survival of the fittest. The clubs have finished experi- menting and are ready for the stretch grind. Victories and defeats take on added jmpor- tance now because the time is running short.
 The morning glories have faded Early-season sensation's like the St. Louis Browns and
 Cincinnati Reds have returned 1 to their norman way of living. A couple, like the Washing
 ton Senators and Chicago Cubs, stubbornly continue 1 their struggle to stay in the sun.
 On the othe hand the Cardi- nals and White Sox, after a slow start, are making their long-awaited move. Both have begun to put added pressure on the pace-setting Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Yan kees.
 During the first half of the season, the Dodgers only serious challenge came from the Giants. The Cards and the Philadelphia Phils, ex- pected to help create a four team fight for the National League flag, have been dor mant.
 The Phils. under new man. ager Steve O'Neill, have shown signs of waking up during the past two weeks and may improve their fifth place standing. The Cards,
