Si NEW YORK AGE March 23, 1953 Fears Child Not His, Slays Wife AUGUSTA, Ga. James Clark. 30, was jailed last week, charged with murdering his wife, Juanita, Z3, oecause ne claimed he was not tha father of her two month old son. Missing for several nights, Mrs Clark's body was not discovered until her husband broke down under five days of questioning and led officers to her shallow grave. Clark told police he and his wife who had separated, argued about the paternity of the child.

He said she told him, "I could with you for 20 years and I'd never have a child for you." The woman was knifed to death. Negro sympathy with the plight of the six Negro musicians, saying that there was "really nothing" he could do, a letter was dispatched il to the cast of "Porgy enroute toW the Kiropean windup at the Em pirt Theatre in Paris. The letter told of the fight for jobs, and asked for help from that quarter. Immediately, a cablegram was dispatched to Billy Rose, owner of the Ziegfeld, which was signed by Producers Robert Breen and Ble vina Davis, and the cast. The ca blegrara read in part: "With regard to musicians, 'pleas advise your contractor all musicians subject to approval of Sraallens.

Also instruct him, we repeat we want several Negro musicians in uie orcnes tra." The Major and Minor Musicians association, an organisation form ed to fight for the integration of Negro musicians, took, it from there. On opening night four Negro musicians, bare minimum requirement, played in the orchestra 'of 34.

Take the matter of race, creed, color and national origin. The outlook on this front looks so bleak that even confirmed elvll rights prompters are beginning to despair of any action at this session and are not too optimistic about next year, although in the frenzy of campaign heat they may hope for a crumb or so.

The main deterrant to national legislation to correct the evils of racial segregation, racial discrimination and inequality of opportunity is the attitude of the President himself who it opposed to Federal action to correct State racial evils. Then there's the faint Republican hope that by matching their legislative ac tion with the Dixiecrat'i morbid hatred of the civil rights pro gram they may win tome souls to the GOP folds. They discount the fact that even in a Presidential election year with money flowing like the Mississippi through the South they only snared 3 Southern States. In one, Texas, the reports are that more Republican money was spent for confetti in that State than the Democrats had to spend on the entire To be sore, Attorney General Brewnell last week pressed the Supreme Court for a decision in the District restaurant segregation case. Bat that's not a fresh approach, albeit praise worthy since former Democratic Attorney General McGratk and his recently deposed succesor press ed for the tame results.

But civil rights is not the only level at which the Eisenhower ad' ministration is falling down. The President in his campaign speech in Pittsburgh promised "better housing for those Americans who now are forced to live in slums and sub standard dwellings." But his choice for the top housing of ficial was ex Representative Albert Cole who opposes with passiop slum clearance and tow rent bous SmallTalk Federal Security Administrator Oveta Culp Hobby's statement before a House committee that she felt it was important that officials under her "be in tune with me philosophically" may be one of the reasons that Assistant Ann Hedgeman.has confided to intimates that she's looking Jeanetta Welch Brown has deserted the Rhode Island Plaza management post" in Washington, and William Belcher, formerly berthed at the Mayfatr Mansions' is now spreading the oQ in that hostelry Backers feel that Kelly Robinson will hate a good chance to win a council seat In the city of Charlotte, N. but in Washington, proponents of the Readin Wri'tin And Dr. Fred Patterson's announcement that he was quitting Tus ke gee after 25 years to replace Dr. Charming Tobias as head of the Phelp Stokes fund confirms this columns exclusive of March 4.

When Dr. P. leaves in June young Bob Moten, son of Dr. Robert R. Moten, second president of Tuskfg.ee, will hand in his papers too, probably to enter business partnership in Atlanta.

They the information that Mrs. George was in Washington taking courses in sociology as advance preparation, just in case Along the main drag, they're waiting for Val Wash ington to make good on his reported statement of some four weeks ago that the Repubs would name 20 Negroes to important posts by the weekend.

L.

A. is Facts To Be Figured The answer to Republican will ingness to statehood for Hawaii and postpone independence for Alaska may be found in a re cent legislative act by the Alaska Territorial Legislature which passed by an overwhelming vote In both houses an FEPC bill with enforcement power. Violation of the act is punishable by fines or imprisonment of both. Its passage establishes Alaska's opposition to racial inequalities and brands the territory as an opponent of filibusters against civil rights which Twenty Acres And William Lewis Collins of Clark ville, hat put science into farming and now hauls down $30,000 annual Income from its 531'acre valued at where he was 'a former share cropper In 1323, Dairying, corn and tobacco 'are' Mr. Collins main cash crops.

The achievements of Mr. Collins ajjt go the of 4 in at ing, programs unaer wwen Ne. groes have made their greatest housing gains during the past 20 years. Then there's the Korean conflict Ike noi omy expumea nis military statitre gamea under Democratic administrations! by dramatically declaring during the campaign that if elected, Jie would to Korea but he pledged "we will worK wiinoui resting end war in Korea, to get our boys home, to prevent future Koreis and to lay tha foundation for a just and lasting peace" But fol lowing his trip to Korea ne stated, We have no panaceas, 310 tricks settling any problem." This ad mission prompted the Washington Star to observe mat "General Eisenhower went all the way to Korea to make the spet'en that his defeated opponent, Governor Adlai Stevenson made over and over again in bis campaign." What's more on that promise to "work without resting" fop peace Korea IIS worm mentioning that already, under the ginse of making St. Patrick Day speeches, the Easter exodus of members of Congress is quietly starting from Washington, despite the seriousness and uncertainty ox our interna tional situation.

You can expect best a two week's lull on the national legislative firing line. For less than this most ordinary Joe's would get fired. Dwindling farm prices would in dicate that the new administra tion is not keeping faith with the farmers. Increase in coffee prices, gasoline, cigarettes and other such ordinary commodities denotes fail ure to live up to the administra tion's promise to control inflation. And although the GOP office seek ers veiled tax reduction to the high heavens throughout the coun try, Ike said he personally promis ed no reduction in taxes.

This and more is the Republicans record at the 2 month mark. Ask the corner grocer, the gas station and the package store, and they'll tell you that customers are substituting wine for hard likker and requests for four bits worth of gasoline are on the rise. We could say we told you so, but we'll still bide our time. move to fill a pending vacancy on the District Commission is bog. ging down in every body wanting the spot for himself or bis boy.
