Action Of Our
Economy In
SIS Amozinc

Looking back over the year
1855, now coming to its end, what
stands out from all other develop
ments is the amazing performance
of the American economy.
The business downturn of 1854
had caused many heads to shake
in fear of the future. Dismal dir
ges of depression" were heard
in the land.
Desperate schemes for rescuing
the economy rolled ut of the anti
business propaganda mills-call-
ing for more shot-in-the-arm in
flation, higher taxes on business
income, guaranteed" annual
wages, which, il was claimed,
would pep up business activity.
But we bounced back--and
quickly. American workers pro-
duced, managers managed, in
vestors invested, the public re-
fused to lose its head and con-
tinued to plan and buy with con-
fidence in the strength and flex-
Utility our our business system.

born of pity more than humor.
II was some 1000 years ago
that three men from a Persian
court came to Jerusalem. They
had followed a strange star in the
East, and they took II to be the
herald of the birth Of a King. In
Herods court, they asked, Where
is ne that is born King of the
Jews, for we have seen his star
in the East, and are come TO wor-
ship him" And Herod, his heart
filled with fear, suspected rebel
lion. The accusation of rebellion
Is an old excuse. II was in the
name OF putting down a rebellion
and protecting church, school and
his government that Herod issued
an edict for the slaughter of inno-
cent children. II was under the
accusation of rebellion that the
child Jesus came into the world
but grew, waxed strong in spirit,
increased in wisdom and stature,
and in favor with God and man.
The Rev. Mr.. Very Good rea-
soned, however, that is was not
Jesus who was in rebellion against
Herod, but rather Herod who re-
belled against Jesus. The Negro
is not in rebellion against the
South. it is the rabid and fanatical
white southerner who is in rebel
lion against the Negro! The new
or the young is not in rebellion be-
cause II grows, This is its heri-
tage.. II is rather the old the
traditional, that rebels against
growth. because it resents change
and would hold back time. This is
the real rebellion, the log in the
eye OF the tradition loving South,
which blinds it from its own
foolish rebellion against time and
Gods truth. ~

LETTERS FROM THE SOUTH

One Of the real evidences Of
democracy in the United States is
found in the common practice Of
most American newspapers and
magazines which publish the let
ters Of individual readers who
sometime agree and mostly dis
agree with various articles which
have been published These letters
20 the editors are frequently the
most interesting reading in a
paper or magazine. Especially is
this true when the nation Is con-
fronted with a lively issue.
As the nation Is very concerned
at this time over the matter Of
segregation, and every act OF
racial discrimination is almost
headline news, letters from read
ers have reached an all time high
as citizens at the grass roots ex-
press what they thing Of the press
and It's Coyerage Of the news
In the forefront Of this letter
writing are the many fanaticai
defenders Of segregation in the
embittered Southland. They lash
back at a changing world, lifting
up outmoded and distorted argu-
ments, writing anything in des-
peration which would keep the
South Of yesterday intact.
The Rev. Mr.. Very Good was an
avid reader Of Letters TO the
Editor" When the many national
periodicals to which he subscribed
came in the mail, the first section
he sought were the letters written
by readers who had resented the
lead articles of the week before
Every since the Supreme Court
had upset the complacency of the
South, the Rev. Mr.. Very Good
had read letters from the South.
II was surprising at first to
learn of the man white southern
ers who opposed segregation and
awaited its death blow. But the
exciting reading. however, was
put out by the defenders OF ira
dtion They amaze the world with
their ignorance as they continue
to spcw hatred and prejudice.
They appeal to the Bible, science,
time, history and experience TO
substantiate their common as
sertion that Negroes are inferior
biologically, religiously and other
wise
The Rev. Mr.. Very Good was by
now well acquainted with all their
arguments. He was rather startl-
ed, however as he browsed
through a vencmous letters writ
ten by a gentleman" from Brook
haven. Miss, which accused the
Negro Of being rebelhous, and
therefore a threat to society.
Acts or rebellion are in keeping
with the Negroes nature. You
can't change human nature by ed
ucation. Christianity or religion
or anything else l think I
know from history and experience
with the Negro his nature and
your magazine is doing the people
a lasting harm by advocating the
mixing Of the races which means
mixing of the blood which
means a destruction of the church,
the school and the government "
The Rev, Mr. Very Good laugh
ed heartily as he put down the
magazine, but II was laughter

Expanded U. 5. Aid
Urged by AAUW
BY the Associo1ed Press

The American Association Of
University Women yesterday
urged Congress to expand the
United States technical assist
ance program and set up on
long-range basis with budget
commitments made at least two
years in advance.

wrote the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, giving the cr-
ganiZation'S views.
Noting that the technical aid
program is based on the princi-
pie of self-help, not relief, the
groups letter holds that the pro-
gram develops future customers
for American investors, and
says:
unless technical assistance
paves the way for Western capi-
tai to develop the potentialities

that the point of view of the

The melodic line is full of wide
intervals, which at times were
most expressive, but they occa-
sionally threw into relief one of
the particles instead of more
important word of the text. The
seventh song appeared to be the
best. The songcycle was sung by

forms the theme of the last
movement.
Structurally, / found only one
weakness: It seemed to me that
the chorale variations were FORE
shortened: that there was room
in the theme for broader treat
ment. The audience liked this
one.
Five songs of Russell Woolen
were sung by Jean Lunn, So
prano, with Colin Slim at the
keyboard. These we're compe-
tently written, in a reasonably
dissonant harmonic idiom. I
thought the Wylie songs were
better fit for the poetry than
those to words by Emily Dickin-
son. I have always considered
Dickinson intense. rather than
strenuous; and the length of
the songs. and the agility of
the piano part. rather smoth-
cred the incisiveness of the
texts.
Robert Evett was represented
by his toccata for two pianos
well, played by Harry Mcclure
and Anthony Chanaka. This is
a structure of three movements,
the first called toccata, actually
dance-like piece over a ground
bass. followed by two fugues, the
first in moderate tempo, the last
fast.
The final fugue is really a
good piece. full of the sparkling
rhythmic contrivance charac-
teristic of this composer. The
middle movement seemed to me
to be long for its substance, in
the sense that quite early (by
the close of the exposition) it
arrived at state of rhythmic
development which perforce had
to remain static until the move
ment closed.
The modern composer lacks
one device which was still force
full in Bach's time. that of
modulation. Without it, the
difficulty of sustaining fugal
structure in slow or moderate
tempo is enormous. I'd like to
hear the work again. I might
revise my opinion upward.

The housing is provided with
