ENTRANCE BY THE
DOOR, ONLY

New Orleans (ANP) - Norman
Fuller, 81, has learned that one
does not enter a room by a win
dow, even if It is his own room,
and especially if the room Is in a
hotel. Fuller, who had a room on
the first floor, found that he did
not have his keys. Instead Of go
ing to the desk for a spare, he
elected to enter his room from a
window
Just then someone fired a gun
at him, womding him in his right
arm. He was treated at Santa Rosa
Medical center.
But one thing still puzzles him
and the police: Who fired the
shot?

THIS NJ THAT
By Hazel Underwood
LO! THE LIGHT!

LO! THE LIGHT!
Above the manger stood a star,
A star all wondrous white;
And all about His lowly bed
There welled a flood of light
1t bathed the stable in its glow,
1t shone round Mary's head;
And on the kneeling shepherds cloalcs
Its radiant beams were shed.
Star of the world! Through time and space
It flames in glory bright
To make mans pathway through the years
A pilgrimage of light.
1t shines for us; that light still shines!
No cloud can dim it's spark;
Its radiance blossoms bright with joy,
A beacon in the dark.
The path leads on, the path leads up;
We walk it mile by mile,
And 10! the light His love has lit
Grows brighter all the while.
Oh, never doubt it shines for you!
Though skies seem dark and low,
Keep looking up, keep lifted up;
Somewhere a star will show!
Let not your heart be trouble-filled;
The darkest night must clear
And life be glad and life be sweet;
For 10! the light is here!

Jackie Robinson Critical:
FuIIer'S Views
AssauIted BY
RIGHTS Leaders

Chicago (ANP) - A serious
philosophical clash occurred last
week when a number of leading
civil rights leaders launched a bit
ter attack on S. B. Fuller, perhaps
the most controversial of all Ne
gro businessmen.
Fuller, a cosmetics manufacturer
is one of the nations wealthiest
Negro businessmen and has de-
velOped a nationwide door to door
sales force that makes him prob
ably the largest Negro employer
Led by Jackie Robinson, vice
president of a New York restau-
rant chain, the criticism of Fuller
was the strongest yet expressed
by Negro leaders who feel that
Fuller's philosophy is harmful to
the cause of Negro freedom. The
Courier newspaper chain of which
Fuller is owner regularly expresses
his view that the limitations under
which Negroes labor are largely
self imposed. He is particularly
dsdainful of the ability of legisla-
ton to help Negroes improve their
status.
Fuller's remarks that spanked
the latest controversy were made
by him at the 6Sth annual con-
ference of American industry spon-
sored by the National Association
of Manufacturers in New York last
week.
Stated Robinson: "Top leaders
of four of the nations most pow
erful civil rights organizations, in
exclusive statements to me told
their reaction to statements re-
portedly expressed in this city by
Negro business executive who
blames the lack Of race progress
on the Negroes lack of initiative
courage, integrity, loyalty and
wisdom"
The possibility of a nationwide
massive boycott by Negroes in re-
taHation for views expressed by
Chicago cosmetics manufacturer,
S. B. Fuller was introduced in my
discussions with a number of in
diWduals, both prominent and rela-
lively unknown.
II discussed Mr.. Fuller's remarks
and similar line of thinking cred
tied to him recently in an inter
view in us. News And World Re
port with the front-rank leaders
of the NAACP, National Urban
League, Southern Christian Lead
ership Conference, The Congress
of Racial Equality and with James
Hicks, executive editor Of The New
York Amsterdam News.
Firm Crossed 18 Million
In 1856, Fortune Magazine re-
ported that Mr.. Fuller had CROSSED
eighteen million dollars for the
year. The bulk of his income is
realized from the activities of
thousands Of door to door sales
men operating in virtually every
principal American city. In the
Harlem area alone, Fuller branches
have been known to gross as much
as $4,000 weekly.
James Hicks, editor of the Am
sterdam, News, was succinct in
his observation on the Fuller
speech: His statement Is pitiful." I"

Martin Luther King, president Of

Lack OF Awareness


ut Is most unfortunate that a
man who has risen to such heights
financially could reveal himself as
so insensitive to the plight of the
very people who have helped make
his success possible" DR.. King said
from his Atlanta office. "The
statements attributed to Mr.. Full
Ter Indicate his total lack of aware
ness of the racially unjust condi-
tions which have caused his people
to remain at a subStandard posi-
ton in our American economy"
No MoiopOIy On Stupidity
Whitney Young, executive direc-
tor of the National Urban League,
was less kind. 'f proof were
needed" said Mr.. Young, Mr..
Fuller has proven that white peo-
pie hold no monopoly on stupidity.
Every group has its Benedict Arm
olds. Recently, in South Africa,
they dug up a black chief who was
willing to come out in favor or
apartheid. Mr.. Fuller has attempt
ed the same thing which was at
tempted by house Negroes" in
slavery days entertaining and
reasSllring white people"
DR.. John Morsen, assistant to
the NAAACPfs executive secretary,
Roy Wilkins characterized Mr..
Fuller as "a sef-made man, who
like many other self-made men,
tends 10 believe that anyone could
be fortunate If only he possessed
the virtues Mr.. FIIler evidently be-
heves he possesses. What the MA
ACP Is surviving for is a society in
which Mr.. Fuller may be able 10
enjoy all the privileges enjoyed by
his white tellow-members Of the
NAM.
'Mr. Fuller may not yeam for
this kind of social order, but most
Negroes do. They realize that rae
lad barriers erected against them
do not crVmble in the face OF IN
dividual success. The doors Of no.
tells, restaurants and other places
Of public accommodation are as
FIRMLY closed TO Mr.. Fuller In his
native southern state as they are

Despite the haste with
which plans have been made
to phase out sugar, no plan
has been advanced as yet to
take the place of sugar cane.
It is desired to enlarge sugar

"In his lyrics, in his narra-
tives, and in his metaphysical
dramas of Job and Jonah,
Robert Frost produced a body
of poetry which has no equiva-
lent in the Literature Of the
Ulited States or of the world"
Mr.. Frost was born in San
Francisco Of a New England
father and a Scottish mother
His fathers antecedents were
Scottish and English. And be-
cause he sympathized with the
South, he named his son Rob-
ert Lee.
Mr.. Frost married his high
school clasSmate, Elinor M,
White, in 1895, after her grad
uation from college. Six chill
dren were born to them, of
whom he outlived five. Mrs.
Frost died in 1898.
Mr.. Frost lived in relative
obscurity until he was 40 years
old, then won the Pulitzer Prize
for poetry four times and ap-
peared on the platform to re-
cite one Of his poems at the
Inauguration of President Ken
nedy.
In his 88th year, the silver
haired poet visited Russia
Americans in Moscow called
his visit with Russian scholars
and leaders "a riot" as he de-
Tended the capitalist system in
poetry and allegory.
At one literary session Mr.
Frost recited lines from his IA
nous poem "Mending Walls
which begins: Something
there is that doesn't love q
wall"
Visited Khrushchev
No one dared ask whether he
was talking about the Berlin
wall, but he forestalled possible
questions by saying i've had
lots of adventures with that
poem. People are frequently
misunderstanding it or misin-
terpreting it. The secret oi
what it means I keep"
After a visit with Premier
Khrushchev, Mr.. Frost de-
scribed the Soviet leader as "a
grand old ruffian" but he soft.
ened that description on his re.
turn to the United States.
II should have modified thai

He Made Poetry-Lovers

to what he called harding around"
No bard was ever more warmly received.
He received more than 40 honorary de-
grees. He made poetry-lovers of three
generations He was poetry to America.
He kept up with politics and science.
He was impressed by science but not
dazzled. 'The best description of man
is the humanities," he said.
He observed keenly the struggle be-
tween East and West. He declared: II
would rather perish as Athens than
prevail as Sparta"
He hailed the Kennedy adminiStra-
ton as launching new era for poets.
He was available, but always his own
man. 81 want people to stand off, and I

When his Scottish-born mother brought
him back to her disappearing Yankee
in-laws, young Robert worked in mill
and as hired hand and cobbler.
He went to Dartmouth University and
quit After he married his high school
sweetheart, he went two years to Har-
ward, but was exasperated by academic
"busy-work" and gave up again. His
disgusted grandfather, totally out of
sympathy with his desire to write po-
etry, gave Frost a farm in Derry, N. H.,
and told him to "go and starve."
Frost, father of a young family,
scratched a bare living out of the
grudging soil. He saw two Of his six
children die. He later reproached him
self for the bitter life his family knew
during those years.
At the age of 38 he had never talked
with another poet. Finally, in 1912, he
took his brood to England, where "A
Boys Will" was published. Three years
later, he came home to write and teach
and talk, to the growing approval of
his countrymen. He was steadily pub
ished, and his books sold more than
any poetry in American literary history.

Frost:
THE death Of Robert
Frost leaves q vacancy in
the American spirit.
He was the great Amer
ican poet of our time. His
art and his life summed up
the essential qualities Of
the New England he loved
so much: The fresh de-
light in nature, the plain
ness Of speech, the canny
wisdom, and the deep, un-
derlying insight into the
human soul.
His death impoverishes
us all; but he has be-
queathed his Nation a body
Of imperishable verse from
which Americans will for
ever gain Joy and under
standing.
HE had promises to
keep, and miles to go, and

Except for lecture tours
among American colleges, Mr..
Frost lived In the country. His
home in his latter years was
at Ripton, vt.
The future poet was IL when
his father died of tuberculosis,
leaving his family without
funds. His mother returned to
New England and the home of
her father-in-law, an overseer
in a woolen mill at Lawrence,
Mass.
Sold First Poem for $50
Mr.. Frost's mother taught
school and he worked at various
odd jobs to help out the family
budget. In high school he and
his future wife, Elinor Miriam
White, tied for graduation
honorS.
While Elinor White went to
college and stayed to graduate,
Mr.. Frost gave up at Dart
mouth after a few months. He
went to work in a mill for
a time, edited a weekly news
paper and in spare time wrote
poetry.
When he was 20, the Inde-
pendent bought a poem for $40.
That publication purchased a
few more of his poems, but
there was no other market.
Two years after his marriage
in 1895 Mr.. Frost went to
Harvard with the financial help
Of his grandfather. When he
dropped out after two years,
his grandfather bought a farm
for him near Derry, N. H., and
put him on his own from then
on.
Mr.. Frost farmed for IL years
and during the last half of
that period also taught school.
At Pinkerton Academy he
taught English and then for a
year psychology in the State
Normal School. He wrote
poetry in odd moments.
Then came his trip to Eng
land and the start of a career
that was to make him one of
Americas foremost poets.
