Johnny Johnson; Bunkie Williams, son of veteran Henry Williams and Mitzi Sheppard, daughter of veteran Ray Sheppard. ask the veterans to support the | Administration’s program in their own interests and the interests of their families and friends. The objective of the Truman Administration as defined by Wa llace in his article, is to prevent recurring deoressions by the (full; Employment Act of 1946 and other Administration backed mea sures. Wallace sees the Employment Act as a preamble to an economic charter for the American system of free enterprize. In presenting his conception of the responsibilities of business in providing full emolo'-ment, Wal lace writes as follows: Business must continue to car ry the main load. . it must provide most of the jobs and the purchas ing power. But private business cannot assume the whole respon sibility for the national welfare. No single group can be responsi ble for the entire nation, because there are so many forces that lie outside the control of any one group. Only the Federal govern ment can be responsible for pol icies and actions affecting all the country. That is what we set it up for in the first place." Wallace avoids any comment on President Truman as a possible Democratic candidate in 1948. The Secretary of Commerce, however, urges the veterans to get active in politics, and makes the speci fic recommendation that veterans should attend party caucuses in their own precincts and wards to see to it that good men get party support before the slates are even drawm’.

Hi BABXi By Edna Mae McIntosh The statement, “Variety is the strice of life” unquestionably first fell from adult lips and in no way lepresents the sentiment of infants ir young children. , . Efficient housewives, recognizing Ihe important role variety plays in tustaining interest in food, avoid nionotony like the plague. What they don’t recognize is that his love for something new or different is the result of a life, rich in varied experiences and is not an inborn characteristic. By nature, babies and small chil dren are creatures of habit. They much prefer to have life move on in the same rut day after day, to being upset by some strange new experience. This is the case in their food habits as well as other pat terns of living. Because of this resistance to change, many mothers are content to let the child remain in the rut. They are afraid of risking the up set that might result from the in troduction of something new. Life is unpredictable and it is the wise mother who accustoms her child to meeting the unexpect ed and the new with a spirit of in terest and adventure. * Mealtime offers one of the best opportunities for new experiences and the earlier they are provided,! the better. The children who can’t1 remember when different and in teresting foods were first intro duced in their diet are the future gourmets of their generation. REVIEW (WIND IN THE OLIVE TREES by Abel Pleen, Boni and Gaer $3 July Selection of the Book Find Club). rv.-*» T^ntino, on WTN~> tm mHE OLIVE TREES, the hard hihtting up-to-the-minute expose of Franco Spain which is the July Selection of the Book Find Club. Leland Stowe, noted foreign correspond ent, writes: “It is the greatest merit of Abe! Plenn’s book that is Presents the cold facts of the Franco record in such detail and abundance that rhetorical devices are unne cessary. Mr. Plenn lived and he worked behind Franco’s iron curtain, as Chief of Propaganda Analysis in the US Embassy in WIND IN THE OLIVE TREES is his authoritative and hjoc-iv documented report. “Plenn talked in Spanish to all kinds of people. He did not get his information about Fran co's Spain chiefly from a Fal angist funnel, nor from the silver soup spoons of Spanish dukes. The trouble was that his reports were heavily censored by the “Hayes Team’’ in his own U. S. Embassy. “And so was our own Ameri can-prepared propagandas Even quotations by Vice-Presidential candidate Truman, pledging our forces to prevent the spread of totalitarianism and dictatorship, were burned in Madrid before thev could be distributed, .on or ders from the American amb assador. We may leave the ex ambassador to ive with his o v record in Madrid, if not with his own conscience. Nothing that lu can ever say or wrrite can tar i nish the honesty and crushing factual testimony of Abel Plen n's report on what the Fascist^ bave done and are doing behind Franco s iron curtain. “It is true, Mr. Plenn says, that the civil war in Spain ha never stopped since 1936; that the Francoists' hands are red with the blood of countless exe cutions which have gone on year after year, despite the complete victory gained by Franco and the Falangists. “It is vital to know that the Spanish Republican Underground continues to exist. . and why it grows stronger.. and why noth ing less than democracy in new Spain will ever be accepted by her people without the final assurance of another civil war. ‘If the United Nations Secur ity Council wants to know what the Franco regime really is, its members need nothing more than read WIND IN THE OLIVE TREES. The sum total of Abel Plenn’s report is the kind of hi story which no amount of pro paganda can gloss over or era dicate.

NATIONAL SURVEY" I Interstate United Newspapers, Incorporated, Publishers’ Representative, recently entertained their publishers at a noon luncheon at the Hotel New Yorker.

PAUL ROBESON, CITIZEN CF THE W ORLD By Shirley Graham Great £:->•rer, great actor, great athlete, and above all, great hum "o being..Paul Robeson is one of the best known and most uni versally admired figures in Amer ica. In his forward, Carl Van Do ran says: ‘‘Shirley has somehow known how to combine in her story the strong forward march of Paul Ro beson’s career with a sympathetic account of his daily difficulties and uncertainties. . His story is a ;,e o storv because it had to be. But it is here told with such un affected realism that no reader will feel irritated at it, as at so much romance. This is simple truth about one of the world’s heroes.” Paul Ro'-eson was born in the town of Princeton, New Jersey, during the Spanish-American war His father was a hard working tough minded preacher who had been bom a slave. Paul was the third Negro to ever be admitted to Rutgers College. When he gra duated in 1919, he had won hi: Phi Eeta Kappa Key, had been chosen end on the All-American football team, had won hi-; R in four sport0, delivered the com mencement oration, and had been elected to Cap and Skull.. the so ciety made up of four men fully representing the ideals of Rutgers After a disappointing start at the study of law, he decided, with the strong urging of his young e - ie ought to be an actor. He joined the Provincetown Play ers, where he worked with Eu gene O’Neill (in whose Emporer ones he starred) Robert E.mund Jones, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and others destined to become fa mous. Robeson s tirst concert was real ly a sort of lark, an informal ga thering at which he sang nothing but Negro Spirituals. But the au dience refused to go home and got encore after encore, far into the morning until listeners and sing ers were limp with exhaustion and joy. So he was launched on Ins two careers and both moved for ward with increasing success., j concert tours in America and Eu rope, stage plays that brought acclaim from critics and public alike, more than a thousand re ! cordings, several motion pictures, and work on the radio. And all this time Robeson was curious about the whole world, about the j fight of all oppressed people for , freedom and better lives. He tra 1 veiled in the Soviet Union where his son also went to school for some time; he supporter the Span ish Loyalists in their fight against 1 Fascism; and he has always been ! round in the front of every battle for a better life for ordinary peo ple. "Through my singing and act ! ing and speaking’, he says, "I want to make freedom ring. Maybe I can touch people's hearts better than I can their minds.” -. W IDESPREAD PRESS COVERAGE GIVEN A. V. C.
