SPORTS WITH STODY
BY RALPH WARD

BASEBALL Schedule tor this
Saturday finds the Red Sox
the host at Baltimore to-day
and Sunday, followed by a
meeting with the Senators and
home next week July Fourth,
on Wednesday with the N. Z.
Yankees. Each week we will
give the advance schedule and
comment on some of the play
ers.
Connie Johnson, of recent
one-hit performance, and first
baseman, Bob Boyd, are both
with Baltimore, although Dave
Pope has returned to Cleye-
land. Pitcher Johnson was
tough for the OK last year
and is tops when at his best.
The Sox joked about the field
ing of Carlos Paulus of Wash
ton but Paulus with his big
bat always gives the Sox a
bad time. His hitting is no
joke.
The American League pacing
N. Y. Yankees at Fenway Park
on July 4th next week, are
Of course, the big center Of
interest which will result in
a full house both Wednesday
and Thursday. Many think the
Sox will stop the Yankee
surge, with Williams now hit
ting. Elston Howard will be
among the YankS who may
make it rough for the local
boys. Howard has hit well at
Fenway.
BY coincidence I find my
first three honored guests at
Fenway Park were all mem
bers of the Urban League.
Matt Bullock, understand,
was the first executive direc-
tor in this area, and was
instrumental in putting this
fine organization on a good
working basis here in New
England. The Guardians two
most recent guests were Mr.. /
Marion English, present Exc
cutive Secretary, and DR.. Fer
dinand Rousseve, Urban Lea |
que president and professor |
at Boston College. All three
men left a lasting impression
at the Red Sox offic. Both Mr.. !
English and DR.. Rouseseve en-
joyed their Fenway Park game |
visits, and conversations we're
held on an amiable basis in |
the Red Sox Office regarding |
colored players and the en-
ployment of colored at the |
Park. This is the first time |
such Red Sox conferences have
ever been held and we are
all anticipating better days
ahead. In meeting these lead
ers of the Urban League I
realize more fully the great
work this group is doing in
promoting better racial rela-
tions in Greater Boston and
all over the nation. 1t was a

BASEBALL MEN are there
for fully integrated into this
latest crusade Of Trotter's pa
per which is dedicated to
bring about greater inter-ra-
eial goodwill and understand
ing not only to the integra-
ton of players but also to
open the doors to the utiliza-
ton of colored scouts, coaches,
and managers in Bay State
professional, high school and
college sports of all kinds if
and when such men of color
are qualified.
THE OLYMPIC GAMES are
another reminder of what the
Importance of sports has been
to the Colored American.
Sports and music have been
pace-setters and both fields
should be as fully integrated
and promoted as possible, with
a sensible, rather than a rock
& roll manner AS a leader
in integration, the Guardian
is naturally interested in a
fully integrated sports real.
This attainment has not
reached even here in Boston,
much less the south.
LOUIS ARMSTRONG, the
great American ambassador of
Music, will celebrate his firth
day on July Fourth. Louis
who may play at the coming
Newport Jazz Festival, has al
ready been a great pioneer
in good inter racial relations
all over the world. Louise
made them swing in Russia.
He "sent" the Royalty of Bri-
tain. He was even too hot for
Africa. In 1--WE talk, Louis said
all people are about the same.
And that Just about sums up
the Guardian crusadeS.
JULY FOURTH marks the
Indendence Day of a great
Nation from the forces of in
tolerance and expressions.
These same crusadeS launch
ed by a people to be free of
the same evil forces to-day
should not be called "un-Am-
erican" by political bigots who
themselves dishonor the Court
and the Constitution There is
a lot of hypocrisy among
many who call themselves
Americans. The Guardian is
still dedicated to Democracy
our Servicemen died for.

ST. MARK

Rev. S. L. Laviscount, Pastor
Sunday, June "a the pastor
chose for his sermon a most
interesting discussion on "The
Mizpah", in which he related
the history Of Mizpah, its real
meaning from the beginning
to what it stands for now.
The scripture was read from
st. Mark: Chapter 10, verse
26 So. The choir sang sew
eral selections among them
were the Anthem, "The Lord
Is My Shepherd" and II Love
To Tell The Story" and the
choir will begin its summer
vacation next Sunday The or
ganist with a trio and soloiSt
will continue through July
and August.
The flowers were given to
the church by Mrs. Elnira
Metthews from her garden
in West Medford. Also by the
pastor for one of our deceased
deacons, and by the Deaconess
Board for others that have
passed on. The young son
Leroy Hubert Scott, Jr., par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Leroy HUI

at this service. Visitors were
from Philadelphia, Pa. and

innate cowardice in behalf Of
desegregation. Investigators
and neutral volunteers have
been constantly on the scene
in respective Jurisdictions to
gather information that would
lead to a possible solution or
a tangible agreement for both
sides to come to some under
standing that humanity and
justice for all mankind has
merit.
Moderation and a gradual
process OF reasoning would
probably get the best results
as an opening wedge to mol
ify vindictiveness that has be-
come overwhelmingly inaensi-
fled in belief Of States Rights
being sidetracked.
This objective can be reach
ed by a prudent managed
leadership advised by out
standing citizens, who deplore
the lurid spirit of gangdom.
A proposed program on this
scope has indications OF being
widely approved by public
opinion spearheaded by the
press, in order to emerge from
what appears to be a never
ending hegemoney of racial
hate.
Both sides. If they ever must

tions on a high plane, dis

exclusive key to the above pro-
posed program unlocking
doors that have never been
opened since the Civil War

chain with links that cannot
be broken by tainted bitter
ness.

on display for a united nation,
whose three branches of Gov

Bill" I said, 1T looks as
though the university has Joined
the atomic league"
In From the Start
"You are all wrong there"
was his reply. THE University of
Virginia was in the atomic
league from the very start. Dean
y, w Beams was on the original
committee under Vannevar Bush
which started the work that led
to the bomb"
I was disappointed that DR..
Beams was unable to tell me the
story of the wartime work on the
bomb at the university. He said
that it was still classified and
that all he would be able to tell
me was in the Smyth report on
the history of the bomb pub
lished after the war.
From the Smyth report and
from other atomic scientists I
later learned the basic story.
The first problem in making the
bomb was to find the best way
of separating the radioactive
isotope of uranium, U-235, which
is present in natural uranium in
the proportion of l to 100. Work
on several methods was going
on simultaneously in laboratories
in various parts of the country
against a target date when the
committee was to select the best
one and go all out on that.
At the University of Virginia
the centrifuge was used. Harold
Urey, the developer of "heavy
water" worked with DR.. Beams
on it. Mr.. Urey suggested a tall
cylindrical centrifuge which was
used successfully.
In the end an electro-mag-
netic method was chosen but in
the meantime Enrico Fermi had
built the first atomic pile under
the seats Of Stagg Stadium in
Chicago and was breeding"
plutonium-U-239, an artificial
radioactive isotope.
