gains, setbacks and comebacks of
the Negro people in these last
three decades of New Deals, Civil
Rights legislation, and Supreme

career of an ambitious, out spoken
impatient man who does not be
lieve in waiting till next year when
there are important battles to
fight right now.

Time Reports
LeontYne Prices
La ScoIo Triumph

Current TINE Magazine reports
the triumph of Negro singer Leon
tyne Price as in the La Scala
MILAN, italy, production Of
Aida.
Said TIME:
In her travels about Europe, fig
ures Soprano Leontyne Price, she
must have walked several dozen
times through Milan's Piazza della
Scala, past the ornate brown-brick
theater with the triple-arched main
entrance. She never went in. II
swore," says she, that I would
not enter even as a tourist until
I sang there" Last week she en-
tered, singing: at SO she was maxi
ing her La Scala debut in Aida,
and the demanding audience rec
ognized almost at once that she
would be a hit.
Handling her big, liquid soprano
voice with faultless accuracy, Sing
er Price achieved an Aida that
was at once feline and tender,
sweet and aggressive. She won
bravas after her opening trio with
Radames and Amneris "a place in
the opera that has not drawn
applause at La Scala in years. ,
got many more ovations as she
ranged effortlessly from finespun
pianissimos to brilliantly ringing
fortes. Bravo, Leonessaw cried
someone in the audience, while a
second corrected: She is more like
panther than a lioness." Said
one critic: Our great Verdi would
have found her the ideal Aida "
When another critic regretted that
Soprano Prices color might keep
her from other parts, a Scala
official promised that there would
be no color bar: THE public will
I have to get used to it. If she sings
Butterfly and anybody objects,
We'll say she's a suntanned Butter
fly"
For Leontyne Price, the climb
to La Scala's stage seemed re-
markedly easy. She started her
musical career playing the piano
at funerals at home in Laurel,
Miss, where her father was a saw
mill laborer and her mother a
midwife who delivered more bab-
les than necessary so could have
piano lessons" At Central State
College in Ohio, Leontyne discov-
cred she had a voice, went on to
JuilHard, where Critic-Composer
Virgil Thomson heard her and ask
ed her to appear in his opera, Four
Saints in Three Acts. From there
she joined the touring revival of
Porgy and Bess and married her
leading man, Baritone William
Warfield
She made her grand opera de-
but the NBC-TV production of
Tosca ("I was the first black Tos-
ca that big audience had seem,
later made her European grand
opera debut in Aida at the Vienna
Staatsoper, guided by Conductor
Herbert Won Karajan. Since then
Leontyne has had an uninterrupted
string of European successes, par
ticularly in Italy. After La Scala,
Soprano Price has one more giant
step ahead Of her in the US:
next season she will sing yet an
other Verdian role-Leorna in II
/ Trovatore in her debut at Man.

UnIobeIed Poisons
Are Hidden l4ozordS

Minnesota physicians have joined
forces with the medical profess
sion throughout the nation urging
passage of Federal legislation
which would require Informative
labelling of potentially harmful
products found in the home, in
business or In manufacturing
plants.
According to the Minnesota
State Medical Association, there
are as many as a quarter of mil
lion trade-name chemical products
on today's markets for use at
home and in industry. Improper
labelling of many of these products
makes it impossible to determine
whether or not they are hazardous.
Passage of such legislation, Of
ten blocked by manufacturers re-
sistance, is not intended to frighten
the public with resulting cuts in
the sale of products. Nor would
uniform national labelling legisla-
ton result in the disclosure of
product formulas or trade secrets
to competitors.
1t has been estimated that in
the cosmetics field alone there are
nearly 10000 preparations which
have been marketed and as many
as 1000 to 1000 new cosmetic pro-
ducts appear each month. Precau-
tionary labelling of these products
would also minimize the danger of
unnecessary tragedy.
Latest mortality figures show
that 1922 persons died in 1856 in
the us. from accidental over-ex-
posture to packaged chemicals. One
quarter of these occurred in pre-
school age children. In addition,
non-fatal poisonings are estimated
to be 100 to $50 times the number
of fatalities.
The Minnesota State Medical
Association notes that passage of
a hazardous substance law will not
in itself prevent poisonings. 1t will,
however, by increasing care and
precaution which persons take in
handling hazardous substances,
prevent some cases of injury and
death and facilitate treatment. A
uniform labelling law would help
to reduce careless handling and
storage Of potentially harmful pro-
ducts found in the home, business
and industry. The law, if passed,
should also provide for additional
safety measures and educational
activities in business and industry,
alerting users of hazardous sub
stances to their real potential
dangers.
In May, 1859, a bill which would
provide for precautionary labelling,
was introduced in Congress on be-
half Of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION. This bill, H. r. 1852,
will come up before the House of
Representatives this session. Per-
sons interested in precautionary
labelling of hazardous chemicals
are urged by the physicians OF
Minnesota to write their Congress
men urging passage of H. r. 1852.

been ntegrated.
There are, according to the lat
est count, 524 ,425 Negro pupils in
integrated school districts. How
ever, only 1921 O4 Negro children
attend classes with whites.
Though the statistics of the
past predict a very dark future
for school indignation, observers
feel confident that pupil integra-
ton will be achieved far in ad-
vance of the schedule indicated by
past statistics.
The IT southern and border
states, plus the District Of Column
bia, have 3,O39,133 Negroes and
9,9O1,31O whites enrolled.
A survey by Southern School
News found the status of segre-
neutrality-suspicious. in the region
to be this way;
The District Of Columbia and
West Virginia have complete in
tegration in their school systems
Six other states have substantial
indignation, five have partial in
tegration and the remaining five
maintain complete segregation.
Seventy-seven per cent of the
Negro students are enrolled in the
schools of the states with the least
desegregation-the five with part
ial Indignation and the five with
complete segregation.
The District of Columbia, which
has a current enrolment Of 80, 403
Negroes and 27,481 whites, adopt
ed complete Indignation in 1854.
The District still has 81 all
Negro schools, with an enrolment
of 1851. Three schools are all
white.
All of West Virginia's 24,10o
Negro students are in integrated
school districts. An estimated H.
900 Negroes attend schools with
whites
Six With Substantial Indignation
The six states with substantial
indignation are Delaware, Ken
lucky, Maryland, Missouri, Okla
homa and Texas. Here are the
Negro enrollments for these states:
Delaware 14,277 1875 1928
Kentucky 42,77S $4,000 10000
Maryland 1926, 500 2s,O72
Missouri $4,000" 74,48O' $4,000
Oklahoma 39,4o5 10000" 1O,246'
Texas 279,374' $4,000 $1,000
("Estimated)
Several border states have dis
continued listing students by race
and the racial statistics must be
estimated
Five states-Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, North Carolina, Tennes-
see and Virginia-have a combined
Negro enrolment Of almost one
million. Desegregation in these
states has resulted in 916 Negroes
entering formerly all - white
schools. (See the individual reports
