Rican citizens. Rep. Adam Clay
ton Powell last week hurled his
political power against the re-
nomination Of Mayor Wagner and
pledged himself to support Ar

Powell, a Democrat, has
proved in several dramatic in
stances in the past that his re-

Powell said he was influenced
largely by what he called a Con-
sistent policy" in the Wagner
administration of refusing to
make sufficient use of NETWORKS
1000, 900 Negroes and Puerto
Ricans in city jobs.
Acknowledging that there was
"a token commissioner here, a

Two years later his "The High
land Call", a symphonic drama of
Scottish heroine Flora Macdonald,
opened in Fayetteville. A third,
''The Common Glory" is now in its
fifteenth season at Williamsburg,
Va. Others of his outdoor dramas
which have had two or more year

"The Stephen Foster Story,
Green's newest symphonic drama
is now in it's third season at Brads-
town, KY.
Although pioneering in the out
door drama field, Green has not
confined himself to it alone. In 1941
he elaborated with Richa I'd
Wright in the dramatization of
"Native Son." and in 1851 he did
an adaptation of Ibsen's "Peer
Gynt" which starred John Garfield.
In 1857 he prepared an English
version of Bizet's Carmen" for the
Central City Opera Festival in
Colorado.
He is deeply concerned about
world peace and the world under
standing, about the social up
heavals now in progress in his ma
tive state and in the nation, and
he has made giant efforts in the
fight to abolish capital punishment
His concern for and willingness to
aid the aspiring young writer is
endless.
Green's name was the first to
be engraved on the Sir Walter
Raleigh Award given annually for
outstanding work in fiction by a
4 North Carolinian. His citation was
an unusual one in. that it was for
"the whole of his literary active
ment" rather than for one single
work.
At present he is working on an
outdoor drama for st. Augustine

first Spanish settlement in Amer

cations throughout the country are

the faculty of the University's De
partment of Philosophy. 4
In 1922 he married Elizabeth
Atkinson Lay, a member of the
Playmakers and author of several
one-act plays.
After successfully publishing a
volume of his one-act plays he was
encouraged to continue writing,
and in 1927 Green received the
Pulitzer Prize for his Negro folk
play, "1n Abraham's Bosom" In
the same year, Broadway saw his
play, "The Field God"
But the idea of play about "The
Lost Colony" had not escaped his
mind, for in 1928 he wrote to Prof.
Koch from Germany where he was
studing continental drama on a
Guggenheim fellowship, eve must
do that Virginia Dare sort of lyri-
cal song-drama some of these days.
And in this same year he began
to experiment with the technique
of bringing together music and
drama in new non-operatic but
harmonious blend. Out of these ex-
periments came "Tread the Green
Grass" "Shroud My Body Down.
"The Enchanted Maze,' Johnny

and eventually the form of THE

FLOOD DISASTERS
RESPECT NO PLACE
HISTORY RECALLS

September 8, 1900 was a warm
cloudy day in Galveston, Texas. In
the afternoon the skies slowly turn
ed yellow, the beating of the waves
on the docks increased in tempo,
the sea rose steadily under darken-
ing skies. and the wind came. In
exorably, the ocean pounded into
the city. Houses crumbled and were
washed away. Trees and railroad
ties spun through the streets on
sand and mud filled torrents.
Babies were wrenched from their
mothers arms and h u s b n d
watched helplessly as their fam
lilies were swept away or crushed
by falling debris.
When the sea and the winds re-
coded 5000 people were gone! Serv-
ing at that time in the Coast Guard
III Galveston were the late Jake
Daniels and Roscoe Burrus Of Dare
County.
The Galveston tidal wave was
one of three of the most dreadful
natural disasters the United
States has ever experienced. The
Titanic, which collided with an ice
berg on a night in April, 1912,
carried 1917 people with her to the
bottom of the sea. The Johnstown
flood, in 1889, swept away the lives
of 2209 people.
/ By an appalling coincidence,
these three disasters prove that
man is more destructive to himself
than any of the forces Of nature.
In the three disasters total of
9726 lives were lost. In just three
consecutive months, back in June,
July and August, 1858, 9726 lives
were also lost. But in '5S man him
self was responsible. These were
men, women and youngsters need
lessly slain in traffic accidents on
our streets and highways. the
precise number lost in the three
"natural" disasters. And the toll
goes on, year after year, unheeded
by the motoring public.
The vehicles chief urged every
motorist to pay special attention
to the international Slow Down
and Live campaign now being
sponsored for the ninth consecutive
year by the Association of State
and Provincial Safety Coordinators.
Scheidt, who is past president OF
the Coordinators, said the program
has grown to become the largest
single safety education program IN
the world and has a proven record
of saving lives.
"If we all work together, II we
all slow down and if we carry the
SLOW Down and Live message to
our fellow motorists by word OF
mouth and, most of all, by examie
we can eliminate disaster from
North Carolina highways" the
commissioner declared.

regional theatre, theatre about and
for the people. His faith in God
and Country is clarioned forth in
in the lyrical cadence of the final
lines of THE LOST COLONY:
"Let the wilderness drive US forth
as wanderers across the earth,
scatter our broken bones upon
these sands :. It shall not kill the
purpose that brought US here!
The dream till lives, it lives, and
shall not die!"
