old-species-week. He is writing,
also, as a high stylist should,
with amusement and admira-
ton that the race has come
this far with a slipping clutch
and bad brakes.
To Mr.. Wilder's three one
acters, two new, one a classic,
Olney's company brings the
perception and cheerful spon-
taneity such a non-conformist

The single reservation to be
made about the combination
of Wilder and Olney is that the
theater's first production
opens, as did the New York
one, with the weakest Of the
three one-acters. Infancy" is
the name by which this one
was christened. Apparently
there is no way to bring 1t off
with force enough to destroy
the universal image of infants
as cute"
Following this acting exer-
else, however, come the rela-
lively brief and poignantly
funny Childhood" and that
classically wise and witty,
pullman Car Hiawatha." The
latter is the inspirational
source for both of Wilder's i'm
mortal slices of Americana,
"Our Town" and "The Skin of
Our Teeth"
Childhood" which will end
up in Wilder's Seven Ages of
Man" play cycle, is its author
at his tender best. Its point
is the lack of communication
between children and parents,
a condition which sets the
three youngsters to dreaming
of the bliss possible if their
gentle, well-intentioned parents
were only dead.
It is a deeply touching and
humorously imagined adven-
ture in freedom that is pic
tured on Olney's stage, most
ably by Joyce Ebert and
Franklin Cover as the parents
of the three youngsters who,
unable to use the word dead"
settle for away" Mr.. Wilder's
acuity, always a revelation, is
matched by his honesty in
childhood" The dream over,
the family in the play returns

SUMNER OF CRISIS

IN America came from the
Guinea Coast, the Gold Coast,
Gambia and Senegal. Some wer
kidnapped by whites; most were
captured by corrupt African
chieftains and traded for rum
and guns. In 1885, Col. William
Byrd of Virginia said in a letter
to the Earl of Egmont, "They
import so many Negroes hither
that I fear this colony will some
time or other be confirmed by
the name of New Guinea" BY
the time Col. Byrd's children
were grown, the Virginia popu-
lation was estimated ct 800, 900
whites and 100000 slaves.

Ten years later a group Of
Negro leaders met at Harpers
Ferry, pondereC Justice Har-
lan's words, and declared:
+ I'VE claim for ourselves every
single right that belongs to a
freeborn American, political,
civil and social; and until we
get these rights we will never
cease to protest and assail the
ears of America"
They had plenty Of targets,
because for the next half CEN
fury distinctions based on color
were not hard to find. Park
benches were clearly labeled,
as were theater entrances and
soft drink machines; and there
was even a law that prohibited
summer storage together Of
white and Negro textbooks. But
the main efforts Of Negroes
were aimed at the distinctions
made in the help-wanted ads,
pay windows, claSSroonls,

Signs Begin to Fan

As the protests grew louder,
the Jim Crow signs began to
fall. More important to the
Negro, so did the Jim Crow
laws. In the history of thu
colored man n America, the
year 1854, when separate but
equal" was stricken from the
law, was as significant as the
year involuntary servitude"
was outlawed. Recent events
surely prove this.
No one can know when the
next turning point will be, what
shape it will take. But q glance
at how we got where we are,
a look ahead at the ever
deepening crisis as Americas
ears are being assailed as never
before, and the suspicion is
that It couldn't be far off.

slave trade illegal. The act
didn't stop the trade-an esti-
mated 100000 more Negroes
were struggled in-but 1t did
increase the hazard, and slaves
became far more valuable.
George Washington paid $500
for a slave, but in 1853, a
No. / male fetched $3.50 on
the New Orleans market, and
by 1860 the price was $1,000.
When Civil War came fewer
than 5 per cent Of the South's
8 million people were slave
owners.
Balance Is Struck
After the Missouri Compro-
mise struck O tenuous sectional
balance in 1920 between IL
slave and IL free States, the
abolitionist movement began to
develop with the fervor of poll
tics and the zeal Of religion.
In 20 years time, the American
Anti-slavery Society counted
$50, 900 members In Is States
and published rs journals, and
1t was but one group among
several.
In many respects, the vari-
GUS organizations were proto-
types Of the civil rights groups
in today's headlines; change
the dates on some Of the hand
bills, and history would seem to
be repeating itself.
william Lloyd Garrison, one
of the most militant Of the
abolitionists, advocated moral
suasion and passive resistance.
Perhaps blood will flow" he
once told q friend, "but not
through any counsel Of mine"
John Brown took an opposite
stance, holding thta Slavery is
q state of war" In a third
camp were Arthur Tappan,
James Birney, Gerrit Smith
and others who believed in po-
litical action and In 1910
helped organize the Liberty
Party.

of corrupt expenditure" and
the demoralized South added
further economic woes to its
misery. There were any num-
Der of occasions for the hatred
engendered by war to flame
again.
Obvious Failure
Negro rule in the South was
such an obvious failure that
few Northern States were will
ing to apply the same recon-
struction plans to their own
areas. Connecticut, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Kansas, Ohio and
Michigan, for example, refused
the Negro the right to vote.
When President Hayes with
drew Federal troops from the
South in 1877, white reaction
was swift and, In the light
of what had happened, pre-
dictable.
Legal barriers began to be
erected against the Negro, such
as the grandfather clause" in
vented by Louisiana in 1898,
which denied a ballot to any,
one whose grandfather hadn't
voted prior to 1867. Private
organizations were formed to
restore "the Southern way of
life" - the xxx, the White
Brotherhood, Pale Faces,
knights Of the White Camelia.
Lines Are Drawn
Lines Of segregation were
drawn, and they were un-
mistakable. When HON r
Plessy, q Negro, was removed
from O white railroad coach
in 1895 and took the case to
the United States Supreme
Court, the idea Of separate
but equal" became the law Of
the land.
The Fourteenth Amendment,
wrote Justice Henry B. Brown
of Michigan, "could not have
been intended to abolish
distinctions based on color or
to enforce q co-mingling
Of the two races upon terms
unsatisfactory to either"
Negroes looked instead at
Justice John Marshall Harlan's
dissenting opinion. "In the eye
Of the law" Justice Harlan
wrote, "there is in this country
no superior, dominant, ruling
class Of citizens. There is no
caste here. Our Constitution
is color blind, and neither
knows nor tolerates classes
among citizens.
