AMERICAN LEGION

BY Monroe Mason

Walking off from an air
liner after a few hours flight
from Logan Air Port, Boston,
onto the ground of Washing
ton D. G. air field, was a glo-
rious experience last Monday.
A limousine ride thereafter
into the northwest section of

Flag bedecked streets met the
eye. Scores of DICTIONARIES and
others were walking, riding
frolicking as a part of the
seth National American Lee
gion convention, which had
opened for business when your
columnist arrived on the scene.
Theodore M. (Buster) Sullivan,
a former Bostonian, had the
honor of being the FIRST Wa
shingtonian to greet me. From
there, the convention excite
ment began. I held my breath,

What Progress?

Times Magazine just out
prints a survey of school Sc
reation and local compliance
or noncompliance with the
Supreme Courts ban.
Times Magazine says in
part:
In the Deep South there
is a general determination to
ignore, defy or circumvent
the ruling, but no particular
plan has been adopted. Deep
Southerners are sulkily mark
ing time, waiting for the Su-
preme Courts next move,
which will be a decree out
lining federal procedures for
enforcing desegration. The
court will hear arguments on
this subject in mid-October,
may take several months to
write its decree.
The District of Columbia will
integrate its kindergartens
beginning this month. Also, this
fall 1900 colored pupils will
be moved out of oyercrowded
Jim Crow schools into white
schools. Next January all jun
ior-high-school graduates will
be sent to high schools near
est their homes, and in Sep
TENDER 1855 indignation will
be completed for all students.
Delaware is split. Except
for one school district
Dover, the two southern
counties have done little to-

school districts in New Castle,

have varying plans to end Sc
gregation gradually. Whining

grades will be mixed this

RED SOX of Boston are
winding up the 1854 Major
League season without a color
ed American varsity player.
RumOrs of a prospective try
out have not materialized at
this writing. The Grade of
Liberty" is thus democratic
cally behind such cities as
New York, Philadelphia, Pitts
burgh, Cincinnati, Cleveland,
Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Louis. Why is this?
SPORTSWRITING during
the 1905, your humble COM
mentator personally visited
both Braves Field and FenWay
Park on the issue of colored
players being signed (first)
here in Boston. Former Red
Sox secretary, Phil Troy, can
testify to the fact. The Red
Sox Secretary was in agree
ment, but implied that the
front Office was cold. The sub
sequent rebuff to Jackie Ro-
binson in later years proved
that Phil Troy was right. And
how wrong the Sox!!!
THE EXCUSE is often made
by some Major League clubs
that their scouts were unable
to find suitable colored base
ball talent for their varsity
or farm clubs. This excuse did
not hold true here in New
England, during the time this
writer was doing publicity for
some of our top colored teams
in this area. At that time
there was baseball talent ga
lore. Some were Major League
Calibre; others at least class
triple and double A, or B.

batterymate of equally great
Bill Jackman, gave me a list
of sepia talent which, in his
qualified judgement, rated a

It appeared for awhile that the
whole season might pass without
the moment arriving, but the
time has come to say a good
word for Bob Hope. This will be
welcomed by all who think Mr..
Hope is funny all of the time, no
matter what his critics say. It will
be deplored by all who think
Hope is never funny. and this is
not the smallest of our under
privileged minorities.
The truth must be faced, how
ever. And the truth is that Mr..
Hope was mighty funny through
out most Of his monthly replace
ment for Milton Berle on NBC-
TV this week. His writer's served
him well, to be sure, but more
Importantly. he served the view
erS well. He wasn't walking
through this one lackadaisically,
fluffing it off.
He played it as If he meant to
earn the money and he put a
lot of zeSt into some crisp COM
edy. He still displayed some of
his regrettable tendency to think
first of the studio audience rather
than the vastly larger television
audience now and then. But this
was an audience of servicemen
rather than an audience of Hol-
lywood tourists and for playing
to this one he can't be hated.

Senator Mccarthy, though It
may not be one he had In mind,
has performed q considerable
service for comedy. Political
