Eleven Musicions
Hired After Urban
LEAGUE Protest

New York City (ANP)-Eleven
Negro musicians were employed by
New York orchestras following
charges of discrimination made
last November 18 by the Urban
League of Greater New York, ac-
cording to a report issued Monday.
The New York Philharmonic,
which the League said had never
previously hired a Negro musician
for classical music performance,
engaged Elayne Jones a tympan-
ist, 16 days after the charges were
made.
Other organizations that hired
Negro musicians, as substitutes or
for single engagements, include the
Symphony of the Air, Radio City
Music Hall, the Firestone Hour
(ABC-TV) and the Bell Telephone
Hour (NBC-TV). In addition. Ne
gro musicians were hired for the
pit orchestras of the following
shows: A Party, On the Town,
Whoop-Up and Music Man.
Conferences have been held, or
are scheduled, with every leading
musical organization in the city.
Every meeting held to date has
resulted in agreements to cooper
ate with the Urban Leagues cam
paign to eliminate discrimination
in hiring practices.
Mrs. Sophia Yarnall Jacobs,
president of the League, comment
ed that responsible people in the
industry are recognizing that the
exclusion of qualified Negro mus
icians, solely because of race, is
un-American and offensive to

Williams and Cooper discussed
the problems faced by families
who have been and are to be dis
placed by free-way construction
in both cities.
Williams pointed out that any
householder affected by the free
way would have a number of prob
lens because of the housing dis
location but that Negro families
problems were multiplied because
usually they could not buy prop
erty on an open market.
In the subcommittee report
the charge was made that hOus-
ing on all Indian reservations In
the state are substandard and
that on some Of them even the
drinking water Is unsafe.
A report from Wilfred c. Leland
that there had been complaints
of teacher hiring discrimination
on account of race and religion
brought the comment that the edu-
cation subcommittee did not plan
to survey this problem until the
committee makes a study of en-
ployment discrimination in Mime

Looking back to lovely Leo

There Is an undercurrent of ten
sion that no doubt dates back to
the violence Of Jan. 4. That Sun
day night uprising was strange
In several respects.
Several thousand young Negroes
participated but it is said to have
been spontaneous and without plan.
The attack was not directed at
the white section of the city, the
property destruction being limited
to the area occupied by homes
and apartments recently built for
Negro workers and the mission and
several services established for
their benefit. Small business places,
service stations Of various kinds,
some of them operated by natives,
were demolished.
The demonstrators were not
armed and the uprising was main
ly a rock-throwing affair. In some
instances the contents of dwellings
were piled up and burned. One
male social worker was killed and
three white women, also social
workers, were attacked. A large
number of the rioters were killed
and several hundred were arrest
ed. There are conflicts in the re-
ports on numbers but that is not
important Official reports are
said to have been toned down.
The January 4th outbreak was
serious and if it had been organ.
lied it could have been much more
destructive. The possibility that
such uprisings may occur again
casts a noticeable shadow over
the people of the city, both blacks
and whites.

However he was having tough
time meeting General Motors com.

ward to better times when his
company would be manufacturing
their trucks for the foreign market
in Europe.
What about the native revolution
in Africa, we asked him. He
yawned
The natives were taking over
the government of the continent,
he said but he could see, no rea-
son why that should be disturbing
to him. He was sure there would
still be a market for machinery
and he hoped to get his share Of
the sales.
We told him of our Sunday
journey into the hinterland and of
the pessimistic outlook of the
Belgian official who predicted the
whites would be out of Africa in
ten years. The machinery offici-
ais answer was that this was the
typical attitude of many of the
official representatives of Euro
pean governments. He agreed that
in ten years all of these European
officials would be out of Africa
but he was sure he and many
other whites" would still be there.
Based on his direct contact with
natives Of Africa over a period
of years, and his observation of
what is happening in those coun-
tries where the natives are now
free and self-governing, he was
satisfied that the Negroes of AZ

welcome their assistance during
the difficult days of transition
They are a friendly people, and
given fair treatment they will be
easy to get along with, he said
Their biggest problem he said will
be to adjust their differences
among themselves.
Asked for an opinion as to their
capacity for self-government, he
summed it up something like this:
The natives of Africa, basicaIly,
are about like the rest of us
whites, yeLows and reds. In in
telligence some of them can be
rated at the level of beasts. Others
measure up the highest levels of
intelligence and have been handi-

cliff. Coward McCann;'
$4.50O
The civil war split Eng
land in the 18th century,
well-known theme. This story
is an account of a soldier,
his wife and his daughter in
that war. It is told by an
artiSt-turned-h historian and
it is no less accurate on that
account-quite the reverse.
The soldier is Sir Thomas
Fairfax, destined to be the
leader Of the rebellion's army
after three years of fighting.
The opposite camp, of course,
includes King Charles and
the Cavaliers. Lady Anne
Fairfax decides to follow her
husband into the conflict, an
odd switch for women of the
luxury class.
Miss Sutcliff knows English
history. She also knows the
countryside. She tells her
story with sincerity and
charm. H. A. LYON
