well-adjusted and self-reliant by
teachers and school principals.
When interviewers first met the
youngsters families they couldn't
find any consistent pattern. Some
youngsters had half a dozen BROTH
ers and sisters; some had none.
Some parents had a couple Of

ents.

that all were being brought up by
parents with confidence IN them

And this investigation las well
as a battery of others) yielded a
pretty clear picture of how a good
parent acts, thinks, feels. As viii
become apparent from here on.
this new picture upsets at least
half a dozen popular ideas con-
cerning parents and how to be
good ones.
I. Do good parents necessarily
hare sss0Bel claiSdren?
Many parents assume they
should bat authorities say no.
Childrenis behavior depends on
much besides how their parents
treat them. Some kids are harder
to raise than Others. Some are born
obstreperous and overactiye. Some
Of them are natural slowpokes,
or poor sleepers, or have quick
tempers.

velopment Center reports that if a
child is hard to handle, nine times
out of 10 the chief cause is m the

have. all children sometimes mis-
behave. DR.. MacFarlane has been
carrying out a unique 25-year
study of how children develop by
selecting ESQ Berkeley, Calf, chill
dren and observing them closely
from birth to adulthood.
1t turns out, too, that the sweet
and sour behavior of growing chill
dren comes and goes according to
natural developmental laws. COM
mon to children of all kinds of par
ents. "a four-year-old. for instance.
misbehaves frequently; a six-year-
old does. too. Kids are fairly stable
between seven and 10, break loose
when they reach pre-adolescence.)
Whatever a child's age, if he is
always good and placid it doesn't
prove his parents are bringing him
up well. According to DR.. Norman
Kelman. New York psychiatrist,
an unhappy, disturbed child may
show it by never fighting. never
saying no. always seeking approval
and affection.
4 Do good parents punish?
For some time now the idea has
been going around that modem
child psychologists consider it
harmful to punish children. Corner
any psychologist. though, and he'll
say it isn't so. In the 400 Milwau-
kee-New York-Illinois homes we

RED SOX TOM YAWKEY
UNRECONSTRUCTED

cause a public explosion at this
late date.
We are reluctant to let this
grave matter of signing up coll
ored baseball players to a Red
Sox contract rest on a premise
of unpopular publicity. The era
of fair play and democracy in
all professional sports to date
has been reyolutionized. 1t has
advanced in the last decade to
a fabulous million dollar
bracket. The present regime Of
Joe Cronin as General Manager
and Lou Boudreau, manager of
the present Red Sox organiza-
ton, should not be considered
bed or roses under Tom Yaw-
keys ownership.
Boudreau was formerly a
player on the Cleveland Indians
roster, and probably remem-
bers, if his memory is not too
short, Doby's first trip to Fem
way Park. Organized baseball
has had its ups and downs since
being instituted as one of the
leading sports in America. The
great debate started decades
back about signing up Colored
baseball players, when the late
Dick Grant, former old Cuban
Giants short stop was signed
up to play the same position
with the famous New York
Giants in the nineties. They
tried to palm Grant off as an
American Indian, but the base
ball mogulS of that day in the
National League would not sane
ton Grant being retained in
a New Giants uniform when
the truth of his race was re-
vealed.
The baseball tycoons of both
leagues hemned-and-haWed for
many years until the racial Isl
sue busted wide open with the
majestic entrance of Jackie Ro-
binson with the Brooklyn Dod-
gers. Since then, a motley ar
ray of colored baseball stars
have signed contracts with the
two existing major and all
minor leagues on many clubs in
America.
We admit there are many
organizations like the
one controlled by Tom Yawkey,
who are still holding out, es-
pecially in the solid south,
where ordinances ban integra-
ton of races playing together
in professional sports contests.
We opine if this racial anita
continues it will en-
nance. glorify and intensity the
cause of Communism, augment
ed by Soviet instigation and
fellow travellers propaganda IN
Most of the above should be
as history to millions
Of baseball fans, especially those
Of the younger generation. The
day of repentance is awaited
when organized baseball ty-
coons, including Tom Yawkey
will back down and dismount
from their Deliberate horses Of
racial hatred.

BY MONROE MASON

Tom Yawkey, owner OF the
American League Red Sox base
ball club, is one of the most |
stubborn and depressing per-
sonalitieS identified with or
ganized professional sports in
America.
Since taking over the Red
Sox baseball franchise, he has
continued to ignore hiring coll
ored players and we are further
Informed has never had a COL
ored operator on his payroll
at Fenway Park in any capa-
city whatever. This explosion
is not motivated by his anti
pithies of racial hatred outside
OF his connections with baseball
We are forced to condemn him
and his managers who approve
Of an attitude that's repugnant
to baseball fans, who make
it possible to keep organized
baseball out of the red in Bos-
ton.
Since the Boston Braves de-
camped to Milwaukee, Wis, the
field has been left wide open
for a rn-about-face to cure
and curb Tom Yawkey's peculiar
racial complex. Another year
has emerged without any com
ment from Boston sports writ
ers that changes will be made
so that colored baseball players
Will be given a chance to de-
monstrate their abilities as a
part of the Red Sox baseball |
organization.
A showdown is long over due.
1t has become an unorthodox
$4,000 question! The answer to
this mysterious riddle should
not be delayed when this years
Red SoX payroll is scrutinized
and not dollar being set aside
for a colored baseball player.
If Tom Yawkey continues to be
adamant and unconcerned about
this matter, some baseball yea
lots with brains and courage
should smoke out Tom YaWkey's
concepts Of fair play and good
craftsmanship. We do not deny
he has right to spend his
wealth as he sees fit. An in
vestment in organized baseball
carries tremendous impact of
public spirit far beyond alleged
racial hatred.
We are wondering whether or
not he can be driven into max
ing a declaration why the Red
Sox management stands mute
and complacept about colored
baseball players donning Red
SoX uniforms. It was a matter
Of common knowledge that,
during the regime of the late
Eddie Collins as general mana
ger, he and owner Tom Yaw-
key were antagonistic to color
ed baseball being signed up in
the American League.
When Larry Dolby joined the
Cleveland Indians, it was hint
ed off the record that Collins
and Yawkey were outraged be-
cause Cleveland purchased Do
by's contract from a colored
baseball combination. On Do
oy's first trip to Fenway Park
with the Cleveland Indians, it

Effective Drama Inspired
BY An Almanac of Liberty

However Justice William o.
Douglas felt about it, the Studio
One" drama inspired by his
Almanac of Liberty" seemed
highly effective to this innocent
bystander. 1t was not, naturally,
an attempt to dramatize the
book, which is an account of the
gradual evolution of the free
dom man knows today in the
United States. What dramatist
Reginald Rose did was COM
press some of the essence of
this spirit of freedom into the
traditional dramatic unities.
Those in charge Of Studio
One" never have taken to heart
George S. Kaufman's famous ad-
vice: "If you have a message,
call Western Union" Conse-
quently, the program has been
noteworthy for its occasional
forays into a field which is
peculiarly television's own-the
play frankly dedicated to the
message.
That the lecture Iii play form
is left largely to teleyision is not
something for which stage or
screen should be criticized. A
play or movie producer knows he
couldn't lure many customers
into a theater with his version
of can Almanac of Liberty"
So he doesn't try. Apart from
the fact that it costs money,
there is not much point in de-
livering message to which no
body will listen.
A television program of the
stature of Studio One" can get
away with it now and then, how
ever, for which we should all be
thankful. This can be a stimu-
lating experience, as it was again
on Monday night.

out and bluntly said it. 1t was
the same thing Franklin Roose-

ago when he advised us that We

itself.
The nameless fear which
drives men to fascism in the be-
lief that they are protecting
democracy was the one with
which the Studio One" play
dealt. In his fantasy, Mr.. Rose
assembled the folk of Ridgeville
in their town hall at 1924 am.
on a sunny morning. No one
knew why he was there, but all
soon decided that it had some
