''MAN'S MOST DANGEROUS myth:
The FALLACY OF RACE" IS new
BOOK IN THE CARVER Library

MANS MOST DANGEROUS
MYTH: THE FALLACY OF
RACE, first published in 1912 is
among the New books recently re-
ceived at the Carver & College
Park Branches of the Jackson Pub
lie Library. Authored by DR.. Ash
ley Montagu, Professor of Antheo-
pology at Rutgers University, this
book went through three editions
in ten years-a brilliant testimony
to it's success.
Those who have suffered most
from the fallacy of race would, it
seems, welcome volume which,
after reviewing scientific evidence,
wholly discredits the idea that
there are certain races inherently
superior to others" and then "con-
cludes with constructive advice as
to ways and means of dispelling
the dangerous myth of race" One
who reads DR.. .Ashley-M ontagu's
book secures a firmer foundation
for his own thoughts and actions,
thus becoming consciously or un-
consciously force for improving
relations between the races.
Another book, THE HATE
MERCHANT, a novel, by Niven
Busch embraces the fallacy of race
in it's most vicious form. In this

Segregated Boys Clubs

1 received an invitation to attend the
grand opening of the new Jelleff Branch
Boys Club at Wisconsin avenue and S
street. OF course the sponsors did not
see the improperly of inviting colored
citizens to the dedication of a club that
excluded non-whites. There is not q
single Boys Club of America in Wash
ington that admits colored boys.
The Police Boys Clubs also operate
on an exclusion basis. White boys who
live in the neighborhood of colored
Police Boys Club cannot participate
and vice versa. In time all of our boys
will be thrown into an integrated army
where the psychological adjustment will
be hard after years of conditioning in
the belief that one group is inferior or
superior to the other.
In view of the trend toward integra-
ton, why subject our youth to a sep
arateness that will initiate against CO.
operative citizenship in the future?
Why not open all clubs and serve all
boys in every neighborhood? I can
conceive of no greater opportunity for
inter-group education in the lessons of
brotherhood and democracy.

Reform in Alexandra

Everybody seems to be in favor of municipal
finance reform for the City of Alexandria
except the Alexandrians. A number of recon-
mendations for consolidation of various finance
functions of the city have been made in years
past, all in line with approved administrative
practices in the general field of municipal
management. Always, however, Alexandria has
preferred to keep its ancient and honorable
setup, however out of date it may be. There
is no reason to believe that the latest reorgan-
ization recommendation will meet kinder fate
than its predecessors.
Several years ago the city held a referen-
dunn on proposal by University of Virginia
study group for merger of the Office of director
of finance with three other independent de-
partmentS, those of the commissioner of
revenue the treasurer and the city collector
From purely business administration stand
point, this consolidation appears to be logical
Such change would require legislation When
the question was put to vote, however, the
plan was roundly defeated. 1t would probably
take lot Of persuasion to convince the voters
that they were wrong then and that they should
now approve the change. The preliminary
report by the Institute of Local and State
Government of the University of Pennsylvania
suggests the reform, but contains little in the
way of supporting arguments to sell the idea
to the electorate Perhaps the selling job
will come later. Without effective salesman
ship, the proposal is not apt to get very far

months when captured-not much time In
which to prepare boy either for the terrors
of the war into which he was rushed or against
the relentlessness of the enemy'S indoctrination
tactics.
It is easy to say that if others held out
against the Communist propaganda, Corporal
Dickinson should have done likewise. But
those who have had no experience comparable
to his are not entitled to say it, The proper
attitude has been summed up in the simple
words of Mrs Dickinson, who had faith from
the beginning that her boy would return. Upon
learning that he was coming home, she asked
that message be gotten to him. Tell him,
she said, that I'VE will give him big welcome.
Tell him that there amt no hard feelings on
our part"
