WELL-OFF WOMAN TRIES TO STEAL FUR COAT FROM FIFTH AVENUE STORE New York (Calvin’s News Service) —Twenty-nine year old Mrs. Tippie i Maxwell, a well-off Negro woman parked her sleek black 1941 Lincoln convertible outside of Peck & Peck, famous 5th Avenue store and tried on a tweed suit, examined a dyed musk rat fur coat valued at $320. After a few minutes she explained that she had changed her mind and started out of the store. As she crossed the threshold, she was stopped by Miss Hattie Allsop, a detective for the Fifth Avenues Stores Protective Association, who found that Mrs. Maxwell had secreted in her underclothing the dyed muskrat fur coat. When detectives Sheehan and McCarthy were summoned, they booked Mrs. Maxwell on a charge of grand larceny and proposed that she walk with them a few blocks to the station. Mrs. Maxwell offered to give them a lift in her convertible which she claimed she bought with the money left to her by her mother who died a few years ago. Mrs. Maxwell said her husband is in the Army overseas and that she had never been arrested before. new members, exceeding the goal of 2,000 set by the campaign director.

SALVAGED FAT SUBSTITUTES FOR INDUSTRIAL FATS AND OILS WE USED TO IMPORT From THE FAR EAST tTS WORTH CASH AND EXTRA RATION L__POINTS, TOO. The Danger of Over-Reaching By Ruth Taylor One of the most harmful effects of group thinking is its tendency to create over-reaching ambitions within the group itself. That is, the group may start with a good idea, a worth-while fight for a deserved right, but once this is attained, its members are not content. They have tasted the wine of the power of team-w'ork, and they over-reach themselves to go out after privileges. Then, in their search for power, they, too often, in tum trample on the rights of others. Again and again in history has this happened, from the Rule of the Ten in Rome in the year 367 B.C.-—and even before—up to the present time. There is nothing so intolerant as the intolerance of those who have fought their way to power. They have so concentrated on their own struggle that they have been prone to overlook the fact that other people have to live too. .^Jp^ojnow one of the great advantages of our republic has been that it | was never static long enough for any group to keep control too long. The country was too big, too varied in its resources, to be anything but fluid. Founded upon religious freedom, religious autocracy has never been allowed a foothold. Not erected upon a class structure, it has not divided into classes —for in each generation men have found their own level as individuals, not as a group or groups. The classic phrase is “three generations from shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves.” Lately, however, there has been an increasing tendency to separate into groups, or clique**, governed by ideas. This trend is definitely dangerous— for any group which claims unique revelations or political preferment is a divisive influence aiming at physical, economic or mental domination over others. It is the breeder of dissension and intolerance among our people. When Americans put the interests of their own group before the in terests of America as a whole, they are setting up in our country the breeding grounds for disputes, the like of which have laid waste Europe for centuries. Whether those interests be special concessions for Industry or special privi leges for Labor; whether they be special consideration for any religious group or special favors for any minority, they still spell over-reaching. There is no group whose record is guiltless in this respect. Justice for all, equal in its application, should be our aim as Americans. Before we make a demand, we should figure out if we are asking for a favor or a right—and if we are willing that the same right or favor be granted to everyone. The primary fallacy in logic is arguing from the individual to the group. We are a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. But we can fulfill our destiny as a nation only as the individual citizens, acting not as groups, but as Americans, work for the good of all the people— for all America. — — — — — —_ _ _ __ _ _ _ _ .
