of Jim Crow schools to the
highest tribunal in the land
* being shamefully neglect
ed by us in financially and
moral way.
The organization is the
National Association For the
Advancement Of Colored
People. Financially it is al
ways in need because of its
Stepped-up program Of ev-
er-increasing court cases
against racial discrimination
and segregation. Court suits
are costly.
Morally il is being neg
lected because Of our lacka-
dasical manner in not only
failing TO take out member
ships. but also refusing to
attend meetings to partici-
pate in its programs. and be-
ing reluctant to report cases
of denial of service because
of race. simply because we
will lose possibly a couple
of paydays.
Previously, it was fore
cast here that the supreme
court would rule against
segregated schools, so il
there is not another signi6-
cant civil rights gain in the
coming year, il is good feel
ing to believe it will be a
more happier new year.

In THE lumber camp in Oregon
where he worked, Gable was

Early in his career, when he was
in a fight picture, he knocked out
his professional sparring partner
with a freak punch. The man =
perhaps in an effort to salvage his
pride = was quoted as saying that
Gable, if he wanted to turn pro,
could be a champion.
II must have knocked him
senseless, was Cables wry remark
when this was quoted to him.
He is no intellectual giant. His
competence at his trade and his
attitude toward it may be that of
the conscientious mechanic rather
than of the artist. He may be as
lazy as he claims. Luck may have
played a large part in his phe-
nomenal success story.
But let nobody tell, you this
Dutchman is dumb. You can't be
stupid and stay King.

was an infant, and the subsequent
death of his stepmother. of whom
he was deeply fond. when he was
Is, had something to do with
the attraction that older women
exercised over him in his youth.
Closer to the truth is the fact that
Gable demands of his women a
wisdom that he feels to be lacking
in himself.
Carole Lombard, his third wife,
who died in a plane crash, was a
younger woman, but singularly
wise and understanding. Lady
Sylvia Stanley, his fourth wife,
was young but worldly-wise. Her
marriage to Gable ended in
divorce after two years.
Cables marital record and his
rather frequently reported ro-
mances should have made juicy
items for the gossip columnists.
But all efforts to exploit them fell
fiat.
This is mainly because he kept
~
his mouth shut. Let the lady tell
it, "he said to reporters when asked
for his version of the last divorce
suit. What the lady said was IN
no wise to his detrinent.
Many Jobs
GABLE is still reticent on the sub
ject. "She was a gay person - she
made me laugh" he said in his
only reference to Lady Stanley. A
rather touching statement to those
of his friends who remember the
deep and apparently ineradicable
gloom into which he was plunged
when Carole Lombard died. She,
too, was the gayest of gay spirits.

me, ''I'm a fellow that doesn't
want to work."
It may be true that he chose
acting as career less for the sake
of art than because it seemed a
possible way to escape the more
toilsome forms of labor that
logged him during his youth. He
