New Measure

Civil Rights Action Should Not

News reports suggest that there

Presidents recommendations to
Congress.
believe l speak for the spon-
sors of this measure when I say
that no so-called civil-rights pro-
gram. is worthy of that name if
it does not face up to this most
pressing of domestic problems. The
people of the country are entitled
to know whether the legislative
and executive departments of the
federal government are for the
Constitution or for its notification;
whether we are for open public
school with equal opportunity for
all, or for closed public schools;
whether we are for backing up
the Supreme Court in its historic
decisions or for allowing the de-
fiance backed by threats of VOL
ence to block the Courts DEGREES.
And believe they look to us for
some effective action on this mat
ter.
There are already some, and
there will be more. thoughtful
proposals before this Congress to
deal with various phases of our
human relations problems. Each
of these, including our own bill
should be judged on it's own mer-

live in a free state. Scott won in

that Scott had no right even to

Z. ROBERT v BOSTON: In
1S49 Sarah C. Robert sued the city
of Boston because it had refused
to admit her child to the public
schools and began the long fight
against school segregation. She
was defended by the famous alb

lost the case. However, in 1855 the
Massachusetts, legislature passed
a law against school segregation.
In pleading the case, Summers as

PRIGG V PENN: In 1912 the

state officials need not be required
to help in the return of escaped
slaves. This decision contributed
greatly to the success of the IN

helping the escape of thousand of
slaves. 1t made recapture much
more difficult. The south subse-
quently used it's virtual control of
Congress to pass more stringent
fugitive slave laws.

of the most distinguished lawyers

HOLLYWOOD. Getting
to the top is difficult but
staying there is twice as
hard" Joan Crawford once
told me. But she has man
aged to remain right up there
for so many years that Holly
wood affectionately refers to
her as its queen.
Joan combines ability (she
owns an Oscar with glamour
and never sets foot outside
her house without looking
every inch a movie star.
This does not mean exag-
gerated makeup. but she is
immaculate, neat and every
thing she wears has been
thoughtfully chosen.
Once Joan and her twins
came with me to my beach
club in simple little sun
dresses, but the fact she had
chosen mother and daughter
outfits was a conversation
piece. Once again she hadn't
let her public down.
When Joan'S husband,
Alfred Steele, died suddenly.
she eagerly accepted an offer
from goth Century-Fox to
star in 1.-THE Best of Every

take her mind of her sorrow.

Before she returned to New
York we lunched together
at Romanoff's. Joan entered
wearing a beautifully cut
black sheath, exquisite
jewelry and a lowered hat,
and heads turned with adj
miration.

Of Joan was with us. II don't
know where she gets all her
energy" this lovely Texan
exclaimed. II can't keep up
with her."
1--WE all have energy" Joan
said. "but we have to learn
how to let it come through.
I remember an exercise I did
with a candle to train my
voice, when I was working
with a drama coach. The
purpose of this was to con-
serve and control breath. It's
easy to exhale in a puff, but
I had to try to exhale in such
a gentle stream that the
flame wouldn't flicker"
While we were waiting for
our chicken in aspic, Joan
was generously buttering a
slice of pumpernickel toast.

I discover that something
isn't good for me, I make
myself dislike it,"
Joan doesn't believe in
strenuous diets, especially
fat-free ones which dry out
the skin.
Unusual Diet
II eat a lot of pork. I'm
very fond of it and it agrees
with me, but it has to be
thoroughly cooked. Some
times I feel the fat has to be
cut, and then I mix two
tablespoons of cider vinegar
in a glass of water and sip it
slowly. I drink this twice a
day-mid- morning and mid
afternoon when I want to
get back to normal. I can
lose 10 pounds in two weeks
with my vinegar highballs.'

Over 10 Percent

NEW YORK Despite the
impact Of the recession in indus
trial areas and in the face of
continuing resistance and hostil-
ity in the South. the 1858 men,
bership in the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of
Colored People showed a 10 per
cent increase over that of 1857,
Gloster b. Current. the Assoc
cations director of branches,
said in a report prepared for
presentation at the 49th annual
NAACP meeting here today.
Total membership in the or
ganization as of December 10
amounted to 305.518 - an in
crease of 24,49l over the total
as of December 20. 1887. Unre-
ported memberships for the re-
mainder of last month are ex-
pected to increase the final 1858
total to at least $4,000.
THE decline in the Associa-
tons membership which took
place in 1857 has been arrest.
ed" Mr.. Current asserted. This
decline was caused by attacks
on the southern units, loss of
same states, and oppressive
measures. Heroic efforts by all
units of the Association in 1858
overcame these obstacles and
surmounted the difficulties aris-
ing out of widespread unemploy.
ment in the major industrial
centers during the year, he de-
clared.
The NAACP leadership in Ar
kansas, Mr.. Current pointed out,
continued under pressure Of
court actions and legislative and
economic roadblocks designed 10
destroy not only the organiza.
ton but its leadership as well.
