Straight

NEW YORK, (GLOBAL)-As
this is being written, Brotherhood
Week, Negro History Week and
Abraham Lincoln's birthday are
being observed over most of the
country. These celebrations offer
splendid opportunity for advancing
the cause of brotherhood, and the
study of Negro history has been
enlightening to many people who
have not known the real story of
the Negro in America and in world
affairs.
But the celebrations also offer
the greatest possible opportunity
for superficial, begrudging and dis
torted utterances. Edward r.
Murrow's "See It Now" February
9 on CBS-TV is a case in point.
The program started out with the
usual tributes to Lincoln, and then
Mr.. Murrow dramatically asked,
"What would Mr.. Lincoln think
if he were to see some of these
citizens today?" He spoke of Ne
gro progress and proceeded to doc
ument his story. If Mr.. Murrow
had in mind furthering the cause
of brotherhood, here was an ex-
cellent opportunity for service, but
the job was most inadequate.

If Mr.. Murrow had been asked
to make progress report on AM
erica, he certainly wouldn't have
exclaimed "Lindberg Crosses the
Atlantic" or "Television is in the
Offing." But his report on the
Negro in America today was just
that outdated. He played up Ne
gro Lieutenants when he might
have interviewed Colonels and Ma
jors. He made much of adult ele-
mentary education, but never men
toned Negro Rhodes Scholars or
the thousands who graduate each
year from the best universities in
the country. He showed us slums

Arizona, New Mexico, California

ence. Bishop Lewis of Shreveport

nothing but praise for Presiding
Elders M. Thompson and D. J..
Strong who filled their places with
much pride.
This being the last meeting of
the Conference before the Gen.
gage institutions in the South last
year financed Negro home-build-
ing to the tune of millions of dol
lars.
Mr.. Murrow could have told of
many more things-of judges, en-
gineers, scientists, and writer's; ed
ucators, bankers, business men and
lawyers; administrators, legislators
artists and diplomats; or of a buy
ing power in excess Of SIS billion
yearly, a figure which tops the
buying power of the Dominion of
Canada.
Negro History Week is not a
time for mushy patronizing mouth
ings about "how far we have
come" 1t is a time for evalua-
ton, and the story speaks for it
self. 1t needs no mealy--mouthed
comment if one tells the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the
truth. If Mr.. Murrow should con-
template a similar spectacle next
year, we have a reminder for him:
The information is there to be had
if anyone really wants to tell the
story. Never mind the sweet talk,

Rudolf Won Huhn's exhibi-

His large one-man show at
the Corcoran Gallery early in
1852 was a tour de force.
Smaller shows have been held
elsewhere in the Washington
area. and the Corcoran CAL
lery is sponsoring a travelling
collection of his works
throughout the United States.
Mr.. Won Huhn's latest is on
view at the Whyte Gallery
through December: 20 prints
and watercolors. The latter are
wholly non-objective, satisfy
ing compositions Of intriguing
imaginative forms in assymet-
rical balance, connected by
straight or curved lines, in
jewel-like colors, usually on
black or dark colored grounds.
All are painted with exquisite
precision. Four variations on
the Dance Geometrique"
theme are outstanding, with
their playful, humorous inven-
tions.
His prints are equally ad-
mirable, but different in char
acter, revealing their African
or Oriental inspiration, with
recognizable design elements,
mostly masks, figures, fish or
animals. The colors, generally
black, red. warm browns and
gray, are heightened by the
unusual textured papers on
which they are printed.
Mr.. Won Huhn has been a

The East West chosm
This week. however, we have
o new novel based on the East
West chasm. In this first
novel, "A Life for . Life"
(Ballantine Original, 35 cents) !,
Horst Fanger writes vividly, If
rather superficially, Of the
difference between living In
the Soviet and Western zones
Of Berlin.
He has an exciting story to
tell, concerned with an after
math Of the Second World
War. and he has not attempted
to 60 into much detail about
the dangers Of crossing from
one zone to another without
authorization or the varying
customs Of each.
But we do feel, underneath
the suspense Of the narrative,
the fear Of the people of the
East zone for the Russians
and even greater terror Of
German police who have
turned Communist and are
eager to please their masters.
We sense the more normal
ways. the greater freedom of
the West zone, the republic.
life-or- -Deoth Plot ....
A young contractor living in
q Western city meets with a
small group Of his former
comrades in arms. He has
news Of the man they all hate.
This is the German Kuehnel,
who fought beside them, then
turned traitor when they were
Russian prisoners Of war, won
command of the camp under
Russian supervision and tor
tured some of their comrades
to: death. Keuhnel is in the
East zone, a high police off,
cial. What should they do
about him? Kill him or at
tempt to spirit him to the West
zone for formal trial? The
more civilized counsel prevails
and the contractor, Dahlmann,
draws the pellet which assigns
him the job Of abducting
Keuhnel. The outcome will
keep you on edge.
Mr.. Fanger Is at his best
when he is drawing the mar
rative taut. He Is wooden
when he lugs in romance,
which he probably felt a novel
had to have. The effective
translation is by Richard and
Clara Winston.
