FDR'S FRIENDS
TELL WHAT THEY
MISS MOST

NEW YORK, April 8 - Two
prominent Negro women who
we're close to the late President
franklin d. Roosevelt are among
those asked by Look MAGAZINE to
write ''what they miss most about
FDR." Their statements and
photographs appear in the cur
rent april 22) issue.
Mrs. Mary Mcleod Bethune,
founder of Bethune-Cookman
college and, vice president of
NAACP, speaks Of the great mag
uetism of the late Presidents
personality. "I miss his glowing
presence, his confident words of
wisdom and guidance - his
tearlesSneSs. I miss Franklin
Delano Roosevelt's exemplified
love for all men," she says.
Mrs. Bethune was adviser to
the President on minorities from
1886 to 1914.
Also expressing her thoughts
about Mr.. Roosevelt in Look is
Mrs. Irwin McDuffie, widow of
the Presidents valet and a mem
Der of the Roosevelt household
from 1888 to the Presidents death
in l945.
Mrs. McDuffie says she misses
most his laughter and his teasing
- the way he enjoyed the South
era cooking she helped to serve
at the Little White House in

Warm Springs, and the way his
face would light up when she
took his grandchildren in to play
with him.
mir. Roosevelt never made me
feel like a servant or feel like
a Negro " Mrs. McDuffie
writes. "He had a heart as big
as all outdoors, with room in it
for all of us. That's probably
what l miss most, the eveT-loving
heart of the man."
Mrs. McDuffie says she also
misses her serious little talks"
with the President about the
problems of the Negro people.
They would often discuss the
Scottsboro case and other prob
lens, she says.

Racial Angle Told In Anti
International Boxing Club Suit

CHICAGO - .(ANP) - Tru-
man K: Gibson Jr., secretary OF
the International Boxing club last
wee kpraised a sports column by
Wendell E. Smith indicating that
a racial angle may be involved in
the federal governments anti
trust suit against the IBC.
Smith, who is the only Negro
sports writer ever employed by
a Chicago daily newspaper, told
readers in his weekly column for
the Pittsburg Courier that it is
odd that the first sport the gov
eminent cited for criminal action
was boxing where the IBC utili-
Lies employees in all phases of its
activities, regardless of race,
creed or color.
Gibson, in commenting on the
column said: Wendell Smith ex-
presses my sentiments"
Smith wrote in part: "The gov
ernment's present attitude toward
the IBC should be he concern of
every Negro citizen in the coun-
try. Five of the eight titles in
boxing are held by Negroes, and
at least Is others are leading con-
tenders in various divisions.
'The executives of the IBC
have given Negro fighters as they
have all other fighters every OPP
portunity to reach the top of this
highly competitive business
without placing any restrictions
on them whatsoever.
"The president and vice pres
ident, James d. Norris and Arthur
Writ, are reputable business
men who hire and employ people
strictly on the basis of ability.
Because they are men of that
character, Negro fighters gross
more than million dollars an
nually plying their trade under
the auspices of the IBC.
"This is the type of enterprise
the government would devour I"
Gibson, in praising the article
said: There must be something
underground. A New York fed
eral grand jury investigated the
IBC for eight months, but could
find nothing wrong in its opera
ton. What happens to baseball,
basketball, football, bowling and
all the other sports that have not
made use of fair EMPLOYMENT
practices?"

The final order, signed by Fed

nently restrained them from dis

steam locomotives or helpers on
diesel locomotives because they
are Negroes"

Don't you begin to wonder some
times whether you really want to
be as good as God wants you to be?
| suppose we all must confess that
we have moments when we're not
much interested in godly conduct.
Yet we remember that Biblical
beatitude: BLESSED are they who
hunger and thirst after righteous
ness, for they shall be filled"
Daniel Webster, the great
American statesman, was once
sued by his butcher for a bill Of
long standing. Before the suit was
settled he met the butcher on the
street and Webster asked: "Why
haven't you sent around for my
usual order?" "Why, Mr.. Web
ster," answered the embarrassed
man, 81 didn't think you wanted tc
deal with me when | brought suit
against you" "Tut, tut" said Nj
Webster, "Sue me all you wish, but
for heavens sake don't try tC
starve me to death"
God says to crave Righteousness,
like you would crave food anc
drink and you shall be filled, the
word that can change your life.

Law Course Lie Detector Traps
Woman in Aqe-OId Lie

Never ask a woman if she ever
led about her age-especially
when she's being subjected to a
lie detector.
The hapless victim last night,
Turing lie detector tests here, was
Miss Mary Ann Mckenzie of 3446
Connecticut avenue NV, an
Arabian Oil Co., employe. She re-
sponded as any other woman
woodland the needle of the
machine fluctuated like mad.
The test took place during a
lie detector demonstration by
Cleve Backster of Lie-Detector
Inc, held in the YWCA, Seven
teenth and K streets NV. 1t was
part of the ninth lesson in the
Law for the Layman" course,
taught by Frank j. Scardilli and
offered by the adult education de-
partment.
The possibility was expressed
that the needle in Miss McKen-
zie's case would not have fluc-
tuated half as wildly if the test
had been given under "controled
conditions" that is, in private in
stead of before an audience.
Nervousness has a lot to do with
the result.
Another subject was Miss Helen
Boldyreff of 101 Sixth street NE,
a Yugoslavian student at George
town University's School of
Foreign Service. She was pur-
posely ''evaSive" to see what

would happen. She was asked in
what time of the year she was
born. The needle jumped highest
when August was mentioned,
even through she said no"
Jack Nordstrom, %, of 1718 Kill
bourne place NV, a State De-
.partment Budget examiner, tried
Ito avoid question as to what State
he was born in-North Dakota.
But the needle ferreted him out
by f1uctuating most when that
State was mentioned.

course will begin on April "a. The
idea of the course is to clear up
