HOLLYWOOD.

The play is again the thing
in Hollywood. and successful
authors couldn't be happier.
During the war and postwar
years prices Of hit plays and
best-Selling books to the movie
studios Skyrocketed. Among
the fabulous deals was the
sale Of Harvey" to Universal
International for 81 million
plus a percentage of the prof
its. When Carson Kanin sold
Born Yesterday" to Colum-
bia. he was reported to have
won 100000 a year for q
period Of 10 years.
In recent times, such deals
have been nonresident. The
depression in Hollywood sent
story prices downward. But
now the studios are operating
on a policy Of big attractions
rather than a diversified pro-
gram Of pictures. And so the
studios are again bidding up
the prices for top properties.
Several studios put in bids
for the highly successful musi-
cal "Guys and Dolls" William
Goetz thought he had the
show tied up for $3.50. 900. But
Samuel .Goldwn topped him
with an offer reported at a
million dollars plus 10 percent
Of the profits.
Now Rodgers and Hammer
stein have sold one Of their
productions to a studio for the
first time since they started
collaborating. Twentieth Cen
tury-Fox bought 1.-The King
and I" for a price reported at
o million dollars. The studio
also produced Anna and the
King of SIAM" the same story

pose to them, here comes an
art director with another one:
Serge Krizman. art director

that a girl who dresses in pas
tells will get more proposals
than one who uses sharp colors.
Soft colors and lights, he
contends, work better than
bright.

pi the right to register and con-
tinue to use it's name.
The statute, passed in 1850, was
aimed at Mississippi Democrats
who supported President Truman.
1t provided that each political party
would register it's name with the
Secretary of State for Mississippi
the right to register and continue
to use its name.
A. footrace developed with the
lilly whites" registering first as
the Republican party of Mississippi
pi. The "black and Tans" were
later denied the right to register as
a Republican organization.
The Howard faction brought suit
in the Kinds (Jackson) County
circuit court and were grenated an
injunction ordering the Mississippi
pi Secretary of State to register
them. On appeal the Mississippi
Supreme Court reversed the deci-
sion.
The BLACK and Tans" sought
review by the United States Su-
preme Court but were later in
filing their petition. They then
brought suit in the Federal District
Court at Jackson.
In their opposition to the appeal
of the Oily whites" the Howard
faction points out that they named
in their suit in the Federal District
Court the officers of the "lily
whites" and the Mississippi Secre-
tary of State.
The court issued a mandatory in
junction requiring the Mississippi
Secretary of State to register the
"black and tans" as the republican
party of Mississippi. The Howard
faction says the lily whites" were
ordered to do noting except pay the
court costs.

L. C. Wilcher, who had attended
the recent World Baptist Confer
ence in Rio de Janerio, Brazil, told
how presiding chairman was put
on the spot and greatly embar-
raised by members of foreign del
egations who asked questions, and
insisted on direct answers regard
ing segregation of the Negro in
the south, and in the United States.
The meeting was presided over
by Atty. Carsie A. Hall, president
of the local branch, who defined
the NAACP position in regard to
the public school issue, and the
ten-year plan for the complete
emancipation of the American Ne
gro.
The NAACP, Atty. Hall stated,
has estimated that the cost of it's
ten-year plan will be ten million
dollars, with the local branch hav-
ing been assessed 100000. The
chief objective of the ten year
plan, said Atty. Hall, is to educate
"other Americans that Negro
Americans are Americans" and
therefore entitled to, and should
have the rights and privileges
guaranteed by the U. S. Constitu-
ton and the Bill of Rights.
Seventeen new members were
enrolled at the meeting and the
first contributions made toward
the $4,000 assessment of the local
branch for the ten year plan.

order of the District Court did not
make it mandatory that their reg
istration be cancelled.
The Howard faction asserts that
the "lily whites" had no vested
right in the exclusive registration
of their party as the Republican
party in Mississippi. They add
that both the Lilly Whites" and
the BLACK and Tans" have existed
side by side in Mississippi for at
least twenty-five years.
1t is possible that the "lily
whites" might be recognized by the
Republican National convention,
but it is equally possible that the
"black and tans", even under an
other name might be acceptable to
the national group, the Howard
faction state.

Professor George Maddox, Mill
saps College sociology professor,
whom the press release of the local
branch said would speak on the
subject, Legal Procedure of the
NAACP in Obtaining Civil Rights
For The American Negro"
In announcing cancellation of
the speech, Prof. Maddox issued
the following statement:
GAS a responsible member of the
Millsaps College faculty | find it
necessary to cancel an engagement
to speak before a meeting of the
Jackson Branch, NAACP, on Mon
day, January IS, 1854. This deci-
sion is occasioned by an unfortun-
ate account Of the meeting appear
ing IN a newspaper that is widely
distributed in the state. By impli
cation the newspaper account en-
courages the inference that | was
to speak at q protest rally endors-
ing specific ends of the national
associations program. Such a
meeting and such an endorsement
was neither my intention nor the
intention of the executive board of
the local NAACP. On the contrary,
it was understood that was to ap-
pear at an informal meeting at
which prepared paper entitled
Positive Law and Social Protest
Movements" would be read out
lining and discussing the various
relationships between positive law
and social protest movements in
the history of the western world
and particularly in the United
States"
The scheduled Monday night
meeting, which was we'll attended
despite front page newspaper re-
ports OF the cancellation of the
Mlllsaps College professors speech.
was held without incident. with
those present paying little, if any,
attention to newspaper reporters
from the daily papers who were in
the audience.
Only the slightest mention was
made of the fact that the speech
of the Millsaps College professor
had been cancelled, the chairman
of the board giving the official in
formation to the body, and reading
the prepared statement by Profess
sor Maddox.
The incident did, however, pro-
woke some indirect comment. Rev.
