Protest Union Wins
Over Writer'S Guild
BY the Assoeiated Press

HOLLYWOOD, June 13.-The
recently organized Television
writer's of America (TWA) has
won the right to represent writ
ers of live television network
shows.
The TWA received 165 votes
in a National Labor Relations
Board election to 140 for the
long established Screen Writers
Guild, an affiliate of the Authors
League Of America.
Twenty-four of the $40 ballots
cast were challenged, according
to a Screen Writer'S Guild an
nouncement last night. and five
voted for no union.
The announcement said the
guild and the Authors League,
while deploring the appear
ances of dual unionism in the
writing profession" will abide by
the decision.
The TWA was formed last fall
by a group of writer's who said
they felt they were not receiving
adequate representation by the
guild and the league.

The Week in Religion
Bx RELIGIOUS News Service

Religious groups are making
progress in their efforts to end
racial segregation and discrimin-
alton in church life.
In Newton Grove, N. c., white
and Negro Roman Catholic
churches have just been merged
into a single congregation.
The consolidation was ordered
by Bishop Vincent S. Waters OF
Raleigh. Bishop Waters directed
the Church of the Holy Redeem
er. which has a membership OF
some 800 whites, to absorb the
10 to 80 Negroes of adjacent st.
Benedict's Church without re-
strictions of any kind"
Catholic leaders in the diocese
feel that it may take some time
for the people of the little South
ern town to accept the idea, but
they are confident it will sue
ceed.
And from another Southern
town, Sewanee, Tenn, came word
of a significant drop in tradi-
tional racial barriers.
Admits Negro Students.
The board of trustees of the
University Of the South voted
overwhelmingly to admit Negro
students to its school of theology.
This was a reversal Of the
boards action last year when it
rejected a recommendation to
admit Negro seminarians. The
rejection made the university,
owned by % Protestant Episcopal
dioceses in the South, the center
of a year-long controversy.
Now the trustees have in
Structed university administra-
tive officials to give all appli-
cants for admission to the theo-
logy school sincere and thorough
consideration without regard to
race"
Sewanee was the last Episco-
pal seminary in the country to
bar Negroes.
Immediately after the board
action, the first Negro ever to
apply for admission submitted
an application for entrance into
the seminary's summer graduate
training course. He is the Rev.
John M. Moncrief, rector of a
Negro Episcopal Church in Or
angeburg, S. C..
A University official said the
application would be considered
in the same way as all others
and in the light of the new
board policy.
Norfolk Interracial Mission
Protestant clergymen in Nor
folk, Va, have scheduled an in
terracial preaching mission next
January 10-17. The Norfolk
Ministerial Association will lease
the Norfolk Arena as a private
organization to get around local
segregation laws.
Last year, the Association can
celed the 1858 mission until rae
ial segregation of audiences
could be eliminated. The city
attorney had ruled that the or
ganization could not rent the
Arena unless it signed a "seg-
regation clause"
Actions like these are only the
latest manifestations Of the
churches efforts to wipe out
racial discrimination.
The Newton Grove church
merger, for example, was pre-
ceded by a number of develop
ments indicating Catholic pro-
gress toward the brotherhood
goal in the South.

Committee of the South hit out

TALLAHASSEE 1.-THE Florida
Senate waged a fervent debate to-

northward from Miami.
Before it was the bill drawn by
the State Road Department to set
up an authority to finance and
build the short strip from Miami
to Stuart.
But debate had no more than
begun before Sen. Lewis, Mari
anna, provoked one of the hottest
floor battles of the legislative ses-

let the proposed turnpike authority
extend the road to the vicinity of
Jacksonville if it saw fit.

Anatomy of the Southwestern Drought How Began What Has Done

and encouraged farmers within these
districts to work together to put
conservation practices into effect.
Nine Leon Years, Nine Fat Years
Then, in the 1940s, nature began
to help. After nine years of below
normal rainfall. there began period
of above-normal rainfall. This also
was to last for nine years.
The Dust Bowl. at a time when
the war made the world cry for
wheat and cattle, became a land of
plenty. There were bumper crops,
year after year, and the farmers
prospered.
In 1941, a wheat farmer COM
mented:
"The future looks bright. There
are lots of row crops and an abun-
dance of water. The lagoons and
ponds are full"
Disoster Again
But three years ago the abun-
dance halted, along with the rains.
BY last year the land had begun
to dry up again, and this year the
situation has once more reached the
disaster stage.
The Governments widespread
programs of the 1930s were not en-
tirely lost. The more effective use
of the farm and grazing lands is
holding the soil more firmly. The
Agriculture Department pointed out
last week that although the drought
in some sections is worse than the
1930s, the dust storms will never
again be as bad.
This brought little comfort to the
thirsting areas. where the dry
lands can grow no wheat and feed
no cattle.
Gov. Allen Shivers Of Texas told
his people last week that all human
means" Of drought relief had been
exhausted.
He asked them to pray.
Evening star., 1953-07-12

Wind and drought, recurrent
problems in the Southwest, are
battering the Dust Bowl again,
bringing hunger and fear to the
farmlands.
In the intensive drought Of the
early 1930s, farms literally dried
up and blew away. BLACK blizzards"
of dust from the once-fertile fields
of Texas and Oklahoma blotted out
the sun all the way to the Atlantic
Seaboard.
The farmers learned bitter les
son. They had worked the land
too hard, without planning for the
future.
When disaster came, they turned
a more receptive ear to the long
range plan. They listened when the
Government told them to stop burn
ing wheat stubble, to terrace the
gently sloping hillsides to hold back
any rain which fell, to Craze the
land more wisely. and to try contour
plowing and planting.
Lesson Lost on Others
But the lesson was lost to the
unaffected farmers south, southwest
and west of the original Dust Bowl.
Today. after more than two years
of drought, the farms in these new
areas are churning into dust.
But even though the land in the
original Dust Bowl is more secure,
nothing that man could do could
halt the wind or bring the rain.
Dry skies over Texas, Oklahoma.
New Mexico, Kansas and Colorado
have parched the land again.
The Government has declared
this a disaster area, and has made
a preliminary ALLEGATION of So mil
lion for relief. Railroads have been
authorized to reduce freight rates to
and from the affected area.
After two days Of debate about
whether the Government should

be done to prevent recurrence OF
the worst features Of the combina-
ton of wind and drought.
The much-publicized shelter
belt" project was launched in 1884
planting trees in a 100-mile-wide
strip of land stretching from the
Canadian border into the Texas
panhandle. The program was be-
gun amid a controversy over its
value.
It's supporters said that rows of
trees would effectively keep the
wind from tearing away the top
soil in dry seasons by diverting the
wind upward, over the topsoil. Ex-
perts today say that the millions
of trees planted in the '30s are of
little value in preventing wind
erosion.
But the people are happy with
them" an Agriculture Department
spokesman said. Trees on those
barren plains are sight for sore
eyes,"
Control Of Grozino
A second feature of the Govern
ment's long-range program was con-
troll of grazing on the public do
main. This also was set up in 1884.
The Taylor Grazing Act set aside
districts on 142 million acres of
public land and gave the Secretary
Of Interior authority to say how
many cattle would be grazed in each
district.
In 1884 the Resettlement Admin
istration began the purchase of
more than $4,000 acres of dry farm
land to turn back into grazing land.
In 1885 the Soil Conservation
Service undertook a 50 million
emergency program for contour ar
rangement Of 2.5 million acres Of
land to conserve soil moisture.
Government advisers were sent
into the Dust Bowl. They helped
set up soil conservation districts
