Rita Hayworth Gets Divorce Today From Ally
By ED OLSEN

RENO R-A solemn Rita Hay
worth, who maintains she has no
romantic plans, gets her Nevada
divorce today from Ally Khan,
lplayboy Moslem prince she mar
/ ried after a whirIwind, globe-gir-
ding courtship in 1949.
The onetime dancer turned
glamorous movie queen said she
expects to take her and Aly's s.
year-old daughter Yasmin to the
Washoe County Court hearing.
She declined to, smile for photo
graphers. She wouldn't discuss
either the divorce or Ally, sport
loving son of the fabulously rich
Aga Khan.
Jackson Leighter, Rita's busi-
ness manager, who accompanied
her from Hollywood. explained:
"She feels that is in poor taste
matter to be discussed only with
the court
He added that no financial set
tlement has been reached with Ally
concerning Yasmin, for whom Rita
once asked three million dollars.
But he said the possibility Of a
future settlement for the child is
still open.
miss Hayworth, of course, ney-
er has requested anything for her
SELF" Leighter declared.
Rita qualified for the divorce
more than a year ago by estab-
fishing the six-week Nevada resi-
dence at a rented home overlook
ing Lake Tahoe.
She separated from Ally less
than two years after they were
married at his French Mediter-
ranean villa in May, 1949. The ro-
mance-and subsequent domestic
troubles-made news around the
world.
Ally had pursued her across two
continents, although she was still
married to Orson Welles.
Then, after a year and a half
Of pleasure-seeking around the con-
tinent, Rita called it quits with
Ally, explaining she couldn't stand
the pace he set. Besides, she didn't
want to give up her film career.
Divorce plans and ruimors Of
reconciliation had alternated much
of the time since then,
Only last summer Rita and Ally
met in France and were seen to-
gether at Paris gatherings.
But she returned to her movie
career alone. insisting she and Ally
remained only good friends.

have fought a losing battle
against the antibiotics do not pass
the handicap on to their offspring.
These newborn germs aren't so
easily licked by the old methods,
So medical science tries new
methods. Two or more drugs are
tried together on the theory that
if the germ can counter one il
may fall to the other. Or the
chemical structure of a drug is
changed, as fighter might switch
from a right to a left, Another
method is to use certain chemicals
that "sensitize" the germs, max
ing them groggy and easier to
knock out.
One Of the best methods is to
bring in a new drug with a punch
the bacteria haven't learned to re.
sist. One of these drugs is a new
antibiotic, magnamycin, which is
taking over in those cases where
penicillin or other antibiotics have
lost their effectiveness. For ex.
ample, one researcher reported
the new drug knocked out the
staphylococcus As out of so times
when penicillin fell down on the

on Negro children. The result? They have an
abundance of Negro children whom nobody
wants, and the situation has become eanbar-
RAISING.
How much wiser it would have been If
the groups that started the agitation had first
made some sort of study to find out where
there were homes in which these children
would be welcome before any pressure was
brought 10 bear upon the agencies TO take
them.
Another case in point: Just recently, a
group of Negroes We're discussing the POSSIBLE
ity of Negro In the Cabinet. When one re-
marked that there were many assistantships
still open to be filled, a disgruntled member Of
the group said sarcastieally, "Are We still as
sisting?" 1t apparently never entered his
mind that perhaps there might be a standard
of performance to which a Negro ought to
attain before seeking such a high position.
In speaking of qualification, one might
easily reply, There are plenty of qualified
Negroes" And this is probably true If one
speaks of qualification only in terms Of edu-
cation training in a particular field. But
qualification means more than that 1t means
years of experience in given field where
person has served a sort of apprenticeship in
preparation for the job. When a Cabinet Of
fieer is appointed, for instance, his name is not
simply pulled out of a hat. He is usually one
who is at the top of his field and has arrived
there by series of gradual but firm steps,
all leading to the top spot. The fact that Ne
groes have been out Of the picture all along
and have been denied the opportunity to make
this kind of progress is unfortunate, but it is
beside the point. What is needed now is to
concentrate on some of the younger people
who are completing their academic training,
and help to put them in the various fields
where they will eventually become qualified,
by experience as well, for top spots.
In the meantime we may be compelled to
continue seeking recognition in high places,
in order to provide inspiration for those in
preparation for future leadership.

Has the wonder" been knocked
out of the wonder drugs? A shot
of penicillin, once the answer to
almost everything from boils to
pneumonia, seems to have lost
some of the power in its Sunday
punch, a punch that used to mean
finish for disease bacteria.
The truth is that although the
antibiotics have been winning most
of the rounds in the fight against
disease, that fight isn't over yet.
Penicillin hasn't lost its punch,
but in some cases it might as well
have. because a few germs have
returned to the fight with iron
jaws, something known to medical
men as bacterial resistance"
Penicillin, for example, used to
be almost 1000 effective against
the staphylococci, a gang of germs
behind tonsillitis, pneumonia,
boils and rare enteritis similar
to food poisoning. Now penicillin
can be counted on against the
staph only about SOC Of the time.
How and why this happens is
not completely known but it is
generally agreed that both en-
vironment and heredity play i'm
portant parts. Some germs which

Long Way TO Top Spots -.
Preparation Must Begin Early
BY Olive A. Adams

One of the most important things to learn
In any battle for recognition. is that If you
move in too soon, you can set yourself back
further than you were when you started The
impatient boys move in like a cloud of smoke
and burn up the world for time, but then
they peter out and become completely inef-
fective, thus spelling whatever chance they
may have had for real advancement.
In our fight for recognition, We have Of
ten been guilty of having a great deal of ferv-
or and not enough of the good, hard common
sense il takes 10 gain and advantage and keep
II. For instance, year or so ago, a brilliant
and wealthy lawyer in New York who has
long been active in race relations work. heard
much talk in his contact with Negroes, about
the fact that not many Negroes were occupy
ing executive positions on clerical stats OF
private concerns. He prevailed upon his part
ners 10 let him install young colored secreta-
~ in the secretaries pool. They agreed, and
he contacted the organization that had made
the complaint, and asked them TO send some
young girls in for interviews. He hired one
who served about a month and was, for one
reason or another, dropped. He hired second,
and took her under his wing, so to speak. in
order to give her the best possible start. She
simply did not have what it took to hold down
the job. He has since tried several others but
none have worked out
This is not TO say that no one could
qualify for the job 1t Is to say that, before
voicing any complaint about the jobs Negroes
ought to have, We ought to first be sure there
are qualified Negroes ready to take the jobs.
Somewhat the same type of error has
been committed by some pressure groups in
the east, who have been seeking for years to
get some of the Adoption agencies to take
colored children. These agencies have been
put on the spot time after time with the
pointblank question: do you take Negro
children" The answer, of course was No"
The Agencies had little contact with Negro
communities, but not wanting to be put In an
