Music Aids Relaxation and Beauty
The ability to relax is the core of
every successful beauty — regime,
whether simple or elaborate, for the
best cosmetics in the world can accom
plish little if your nerves are constantly
tense. A few moments of complete
relaxation will smooth the lines from
your face and ease that tight, keyed-up
feeling that is the root of most head
aches and nervous ailments.
If you are among the many modern
women who have forgotten how to
relax, turn to music for assistance.
Experts agree that nothing is more con
ducive to restful relaxation than music,
whether you play an instrument or
listen to "ready-made" music.
Virginia Carrington Thomas, direc
tor of the Hammond Organ School, in
response to requests from hundreds of
housewives and business women, has
made a study of "relaxing music" and
has found that a tired, distraught woman
reacts favorably to organ music, espe
cially to such selections as "On Wings
of Song," "Clair de Lune" by Debussy,
and "The Lamp Is Low." Lullabies are
equally effective, particularly Brahms'
famous "Lullaby" and "Sweet and
Low,”
"Any music that is soft and soothing
in character is likely to produce a re
laxing effect upon strained nerves,"
Miss Thomas says, "ar\d if you have
any particular favorites in that cate
gory, they will do just as well.”
So relax — for beauty's sake — wjth
music's soothing help.
CALVIN’S DIGEST
By L. Baynard Whitney
New Press Vitality
New vitality for the advertising
departments of the Negro press in
the United States was forecast in
a recent conference of far-reaching
significance, when 28 publishers’
representatives of 21 newspapers
created the Negro Newspaper
Publishers Association. The DE
FENDER'S John H. Sengstake is
president, and the GUIDE’S Thom
ns W. Young, secretary-treasurer.
The NNPA set up machinery for
a survey of the Negro market, the
results to be later dramatized and
presented to national advertisers
and their agencies. The gathering
also mulled over the ideas of a
consistent national advertising
policy, a non-profit news gathering
agency or organization, and a pub
lishers’ information service.
Having grown strong here and
there individually, this is the sec
ond, and perhaps more important,
cooperating effort under-taken by
the Negro press (the first was
the ABC dan). It is a splendid
start in the right direction, but
with a few important elements
missing, I believe.
Few would argue that our
press has reached the saturation in
circulation among Negro readers;
secondly, the influence of the Ne
gro press upon the white press is
not as strong as it should be. It
seems to me that the NNI’A should
also set up machinery for increas
ing Negro reader interest closer
to the saturation point, thus im
proving or enlarging the Negro
market through increased circula
tion. Also, go after WHITE READ
ERS through a “Learn What The
Negro Thinks” campaign. Simul

«aton m. a« March 29, 1940
Mr. Charles S. Reed,
505 Omaha National Bank Building,
Omaha, Nebraska.
My dear Mr. Reed:
This will reply to your letter of March 27th regarding your colored
voters and the Anti-lynching Bill. I am very glad to give you the
exact record in this connection and you may rely upon it and you Mgr
make any use of it you see fit.
I have always been in favor of the Federal anti-lynching law and h&vm
always so stated. It has never come to a vote in the Senate because
it has always been beaten by Southern Democratic filibuster. There
are two ways to beat a filibuster in the Senate. The first is to hold
the Senate in continuous session twenty-fours hours day and night
until the opposition surrenders to a vote. If this fails, the second
and final recourse is to vote a cloture rule - which is to say & "gag
rule" -which will force a vote within a day or two. On general prin
ciples, 1 am opposed to cloture in the Senate because I do not think
that this last free forum should be gagged except as a last resort.
This question of "freedom of debate" in the Senate of course transc&ndj
any such limited issue as is involved in the anti-lynching law. Tho
cloture question underlies the whole system of American free Govern
ment. Cloture shuts off minorities and makes them bow to majorities.
Whenever transient majorities can do anything they please in this
country, our constitutional rights have completely disintegrated.
Therefore, I have always insisted that cloture should only be applied
in the Senate in cases of clean cut justification where every other
recourse has failed. I have particularly warned our colored citizens
that they ought to share ny point of view in this connection because
they are a minority and, in the long run, they have infinitely much
to lose if they encourage in ary way the destruction of parliamentary
protections upon which minorities must lean for their rights; and I
have urged them not to overlook this fundamental fact, nd matter how
much they may be interested, at the moment, in passing one particular
piece of legislation.
The last time the anti-lynching bill was on tne Floor of the Senate,
a premature effort was made to stop the debate by the early use of
cloture and I voted against the application of cloture at that time
and under those circumstances - for the reasons indicated above.
That is the only vote of mine which could be tortured into some sort
of a uiaia that I did not go along with the anti-lynching legislation.
But any such would be ridiculously unfair and untrue. I voted
against cloture because no effort hai1 been made to hold the Senate in
continuous session (which is the firsv. and necessary method of forcing
an end to debate). I.announced that I would myself sit continuously
day and night for the purpose of holding a quorum in order to wear down
the debate and force a vote. But this was never done. There was no
reason or excuse for cloture under the circumstances.
Now let me state my position specifically regarding the anti-lynching
law which is again on the Senate calendar and may again come to issue
this Spring. I will vote in favor of the anti-lynching law if and
when it cones to final battle. If there is a filibuster I will support
the Administration leadership if it will attempt to break the filibuster
by continuous sessions of the Senate. I will personally help maintain
a quorum for this purpose. If thi3 method fails to bring a vote -
after there has been a full, free, fair opportunity for complete de
bate - I will vote for cloture as a last resort to produce a vote.
* S 3
This whole thing is enormously exaggerated in its importance because
the crime of lynching has almost disappeared. I believe there were
only three lynchings in the whole country Inst year (two Negroes and
one white). We have probably made greater progress in stopping this
crime than any other single crime on the calendar. let I agree that
the psychological issue involved will never be conclusively settled
until a Federal stamp of disapproval is put upon lynching, and I am
continuing to join in thi6 effort. But I think our colored citizens
are ill-advised if they make their political decisions solely on the
basis of this one Issue. They had better look beyond this limited
horizon to find out whether their public servants have a fundamental
sympathy with the rights of the colored race. I have a few credentials
of ay own at this point. The most notable case involving Negro rights
which has been in the Senate in the last forty years arose in connection
with theconfirmation of Judge Parker of North Carolina, to the Supreme
Court by President Hoover. Our colored citizenship was up in arms
against the appointment from coast to coast because Judge Parker
(rightly or wrongly) was charged with racial prejudice in some of his
earlier statements and decisions. I inquired into the matter closely.
I came to the conclusion that it would be unwise to put a man upon
the Supreme bench whom the great colored citizenship sector of the
United States would never trust. Judge Parker's confirmation was
defeated by one single vote in the Senate - and cast that de£idiB&
vote. Our colored friends have short memories if thqy have forgotten
that incident.
It may be useful for you to. know in this connection that ay maternal
grandfather, Dr. Aaron T. Hendrick, at Clyde, New York, ran the
northern New York "depot" for the "underground railroad" throughout
the Civil War era. He was also a delegate in the Convention which
nominated Abraham Lincoln. This is ancient history but it still has
some significance.
I aravery glad to give you this detailed report and I hope you may find
it useful. Thanks again for all that you are doing.
Good luckl
With warm personal regards and best wishes,
