Americans Might
Be Enfombed In
Mine Of MoferiuIism

til all vestiges Of 'hyphenated Am
ericanism" are erased, there can
be no yardstiCk for measuring
what our way of life displays to
the world as an American-in-full.
That was the admonition voiced
by Whitney NJ. Young, Jr., execu-
tive director of the National Urban
League, at the fifth annual leader
ship convocation of Maryland
State College here, in which As
student leaders were honored.
THE Negro citizen" said Mr..
Young. "aspires only to be an
American in full, with all the
rights and privileges - and all of
the obligations and duties-there-
by pertaining. But there can be no
double standard of citizenship.
We cannot take pride in a mode of
living that can become a figure
of speech - a standard in which
some find jobs a drudgery, in
which young men and women can't
afford a family"
The Urban League leader
scored tendency of Americans
to worship gods of material ad-
vanCement" to point where the
people find themselves almost
trapped by mOnstrOus weapons
we have devised"
He drew an analogy between a
nation in which the hands of pro-
gress remain tied in many of their
potentials by discrimination and a
recent disaster in an African dia-
mond mine in which workers star
we'd and thirsted to death in the
midst of unlimited riches.
I'VE might we'll find ourselves
entombed to our death in a dia-
mond mine Of materialism," Mr..
Young warned.
LAS Americans we find our
selves, even with our rich re-
sources, unable to understand the
chronic unemployment which still
besets us, the growing needs Of
our health and welfare agencies,
the fact that islands of abject pow
erty exist in this sea of plenty"
He declared that Americans ARE
very mature in our inventive skills,
but wantonly immature as to the
price we must pay for the social
disorganization which follows. He
urged that the nation take grave
note of the consequences to "a Soc
iety which focuses on industrial
efficiency while neglecting the HUI
man resources so crucial to pro-
duction as we'll as to consumption. "
Mr.. Young cautioned that no
longer will it be adequate for the
Negro citizen to compare himself
only with other Negroes, but to be
prepared to compete with all"
Through no fault of our own,
many bear the scars Of generations
of deprived opportunities" he said
THE Negro at best holds only a
bridgehead on American demo-
CraCy. What shall be our credent-
ials into the brave new world
Shall we go as Neanderthal men
weighted down with suspicious
fears and hatreds, or as men and
women erect and unafraid? May
we do the latter then, not out OF
fear of other political ideologies or
actual determination, but out of a
love and understanding for peo-
pie"
Mr.. Young assured that the
Urban League movement will con-
tinue to throw itself vigorously
into this effort, offering its serv-
ices both to those who make the
decisions in our public and private
life, as we'll as to those who stand
to benefit from a newer, more
democratic society"

NUMISMATIC
NOTES
Colombia

Many coins of Latin Amer
lea were circulated widely in
the United States until 1857.
Later most people lost con-
tact with monies used else
where in the Americas. Now
wide interest again is being
shown in the coins of our
good neighborS.
One of these Is Colombia
in the extreme northwest
part of South America with
Shoreline on both the Pacific
Ocean and the Caribbean
Sea.
The first mint was opened
in 1855 under Spanish rule.
Republican coinage was
started in 1922. The unit of
coinage is the peso, with 100
centavoS equaling one peso.
Most coins are recognized
easily from the inscriptions,
'Republica de Colombia" or
"EStadaS UnidaS de Colom-
bia." But between 1887 and
1862 coins were inscribed,
"Republica de Ia Neuvo
Granda," or sometimes Con

federation Granadine." Some
of these, including a 16-peso
gold piece, were well known
in the United States.
Another feature Of some
earlier large coins was that
the name of the mint was
spelled out in full (Bogata,
Popayan, or Medellin). Mint
ing of gold was discontinued
at about the same time as in
the United States. At current
exchange rates, 81 United
States equals about 8 pesos.
Among South American
countries, Colombia is noted
as a producer of gold, petro-
leum and coffee and is the
worlds major source of en-
eralds.
Many coin collectors, how
ever, know it best for its well
designed coinage. particu-
larly the many handsome
series Of gold coins prior to
1878.

Revere has brought out
four new 8-mm. zoom cam

All four have automatic

a focusing mount zoom lens,
which permits manual focus

provides a fixed focus posi-

days permits shooting at any
distance down to six feet

The zoom lens on all four
cameras moves from 9 nm.

Gates the correct field.
The two-power zoom mod
els, the No. 143 spool cam

manual and power zooming.
With Zoom buttons located
beside the operating buttons,
one finger power zooming
consists Of using a single
finger to press either the

which also operate the cam

BY HERMAN SCHADEN
Star Record Critic

Stereo's contribution to the
record industry, still a de-
batable factor in some quar-
terS, never looked stronger
than in the assortment Of
releases listed today. Any
and all of them are unequivo-
cally indorsed, nota only
for the extra dimension ef-
feet, but as first-rate music.
A few more of these and
Stereo will have won the day.
OF course, all come in mon
aural form, too.
SACRAE SYMPHONIAE
AND CANZONI: Luckily,
listening to this is much
easier than pronouncing it.
In fact, Vanguard has pro-
duced in these IL short pieces
for double choir, brass and
organ by Giovanni Gabriel
something as close to per-
fection as we care to dream
about.
This Venetian Renaissance
music has the cathedral
sound of st. Marks, and not
because of religious over
tones. Rather, in the mar
velous antiphonal choral
singing, there is a feeling of
space eternal. Several of the
pieces bring into play, with
out voices, a brass choir Of
indescribable beauty. A rare
record, with much credit 60
ing to the Gabriel Festival
group and Conductor Hans
GilleSberger.

SCOTCH SYMPHONY:

RECORD REVIEW
Stereo Offerings
Among the Best

London set. 1t trips along
like any good fairy story
should, light and gay, full of
merriment, patter songs, the
inimitable wit of the famous
English team.
Every member of the cast
performs as expected from
this veteran company, and
proceeds to gently rip apart
the British peerage and Par
lament with the greatest of
ease. Interlarded with a
few really affecting arias,
the fantasy makes for an
evening of capital entertain
ment.

TALES OF HOFFMAN:
Judging by this DeutSche
Grammophon record of ex-
cerpts, Jacques Offenbach's
opera has never had its due.
In brief, this is a stunning
record of beautiful music,
sung at top value. Rita
Stretch as Olympia has a
soprano of pure silver.
The tenor of William Nc
Alpine as Hoffman and Ran
dolphe Symonette'S bass
baritone also score high. Bril-
liant sound and splendid work
by the Berlin Radio SYM
phony and Choir, and Con-
ductor Richard Kraus.
MONTEUX'S BEETHO-
VEN: There always will be
more Beethoven. But will
there always be moore Bee
thoven like Pierre Monteux
now crowding 90) and the
Vienna Philharmonic doing
the First and Eighth Sym
phonieS? Precisely not. No
matter If you have them,
these by RCA Victor are
musts for all the undiscov-
cred beauty therein. What a
man-Papa Monteux!
BLOCH AND COPELAND:
Not least noteworthy about
this Vanguard record is the
realization that Hartford,
Conn, has an orchestra able
to take its bows with any of
them. Fritz Mailer is its
time-tested conductor in two
notable works.
One is Ernest Bloch's Three
Jewish Poems for Orchestra.
Everyone who admires his
Schelomo will find these SYM
phonic-like sketches (Danse,
Rite and Cortege funebre)
highly appealing for tonal
texture and Bloch's match
less, almost sensuous, style of
writing.
Copland's contribution is a
recreation of his earlier Piano
Variations. In its new form
for orchestra alone, it is a
classic in its energetic, per-
cusSive and rhythmic patterns
only COPELAND would create.
Also on the disc is his Fan
fare for the Common Man.
