Wherry, Republican of Nebraska, told the Omaha Guide today that he blocked a Senate move to act against negro leaders ad vocating “civil disobedence" j because he felt it would un- i fairly agtate against all mem bers of the colored race. The Senate action was at tempted on motion by Senat- j or Eastland, Democrat of Mississppi, against Grant Rev-] nolds, Member of the New York State Commission of Correction. Mr. Reynolds and A. Philip Randolph, president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, testified that un less segregation and discrim ination were ended they would advocate that negroes refuse to obey military service ord ers. Senator Eastland urged the Senate to bring the case of Mr. Reynolds directly to the at tention of Governor Dewey of New York, under whom he works. • Nebraska Senator \\ heerv imposed thhe objection whch prevented floor consideration. Later Senator Wherry ex plained that he feels both Mr. Reynolds and Mr. Randolph were “terribly wrong” in advo vocating such action, and that hhe is cont'dent that most ne groes would not follow such a course in time of national em ergency. “For this reason it seemed to me fair to the vest major ity of the negro population of our country to allow further publicity in the United States Senate which would serve on ly to arouse racial animosity and prejudices,” Senator Wherry said. Need Running Water Running water still is lacking in 75 per cent of the farm homes of the nation. Only 5 per cent of city homes lack running water. A farm family of five with a fair amount of live stock uses about 30fi tons of water in a year if they have to pump and carry it by hand. If the farm had running water and electric pumps the same family would use probably twice as much water and have none i of the effort of transporting tons of 1 water by hand NATIONAL COLORED DEMOCRATIC ASS’N.

Plants That Swim Despite the fact they are 'plants, and not animals, many species of water algae are' able to move about by swimming. Brown algae range in size from forms that can be seen only under the microscope to others 200 feet long. Algae differ from fungi in that they can extract and build up their food from inorganic substances. Seaweeds are the most familiar representatives of the al gae family.

Mdttery Stag U»ma*n— gtfrim ** bel THE CLUWiNlNG FIhai^E brings s.n. *»s to the Nicholas Brothers and Gene Keliy starring in MGM’j color production of “The Pirate”. (See story below) MGM MAKES BIG STEP FORWARD Starring Nicholas Brothers With Gene Kelly New York. (CNS) — The press preview this week of “The Pirate”, a former Alfred Lunt-Lynno Fontanne suc cessful vehicle, surpassed all j expectations in proving that Metro Goldwvn Mayor still leads in the film industry for liberal-making pictures, for i their dramatic idea of coup j ling the world-famous Nichol 1 as Brothers with actor Gene j Kelly not only produced good j entertainment but good taste. I The story, filmed in glow ing color, takes the setting of a mytical Carribean Island where Manuela (Judy Gar- | land) is being married off to wealthy Don Pedro Vargas, the Mayor of their village, for financial rdasons. The cargo ship brings the egotistical, ad venturous Scarfin (Gene Kel ly) ' to the Island with his troupe of clowns, actors, ar.d jugglers, among them the dancing Nicholas boys. After much protesting, Manuela suc cumbs to Serafin’s exaggerat ed charms and therein the story plunges into wild action and suspense. The musical direction, un der Lennie Hayton and the production by Arthur Freed, both who have done much for the success of Lena Horno, rates the true MGM 4-star 'banner. Best numbers were “Nina”, song and dance novel ty by Gene Kelly and “Mac lavart” by Judy Garland, all Colo Portor music. The most whimsical scene, however, was saved till the last twenty miles of the film when Kelly, Harold & Fayard Nicholas, dressed identically in satsin clown costumes and pom pom hats, began falling , over the stage, leap ng high in i the air, sliding sideways — all I in perfect precision. You would've thougnt tit “re were either three Nicholas Broth ers—or three Gene Ktliys. FREEDOM TRAIN PAGEANT The Freedom Train Papeanr was the most original and un ique plays I’ve seen in a long time. The costumes and actors were so original and the pag eant was so well done, that it left the audience very well pleased. Many would like a re peat performance. And to tho'e who did not see it, please don't fail to see it if its pre sented again. They played to a full house. Robert Meyers was very good as Columbus, Mr. and Mrs. Cleo Mortonser were good in as George and Martha Washington. Mr. and Mrs. Isaiah Jones were original as, in the Days of ’49. Mr. Jones was wearing a coat that was 75 years old. The many other playyrs were very good. The music for the pageant was supplied by Diave Alexander's orchestra. Used cooking fat is the only Wring i that often goes into the garbage pail that can be sold for cash. Orange skins, potato peelings and eggshells are not redeemable, but meat dealers do pay for every pound of used cooking fat. Con serve and turn in every pound to ease the shortage of fats and oils.

We planned the color schemes, selected the furniture, draperies, rugs, and wall covering* •nd then assembled and arranged them in a pleasing pattern. But just like all newlyweds nowadays we paid so much for our furnish ings that we had very little left in our budget for the future. I could see that what we had would have to ^ last a long time « ‘and it was up to me to see that they did. But I didn’t quite relish the idea of mak ing myself a drudge to our home either. I called Jane and asked how she kept her home looking so clean and fresh all the time and still had; plenty of time for other things. I "Why, I use Cream Wax,” replied Jane. "It’s simply wonderful for( 'furniture and woodwork. It’s a creamy white liquid that cleans and polishes in one application. And best of all, it contains no oil tOi catch dust. The wax leaves a hard, dry finish that makes cleaning so simple. I merely whisk a cloth over my furniture and the dust disap pears like magic. “I use it for almost everything in our house—for my cupboards, ve-l netian blinds, window sills, doors,; parchment lamp shades, picturej frames, metal ash trays, leather goods, refrigerator, and many other things. You should see how easy it is to remove smudges and finger-' prints from my woodwork with Cream Wax! i “Not only does it clean and polish my woodwork and furniture, but it protects the finish as well, particu larly window sills that are likely to' become damp and wet when the windows have been left open during' a shower.” , “Cream Wax, I understand, is a new development by Johnson’s . chemists. It contains three clean I ing agents and leaves a hard, dry film of wax to protect the surface .?rom dust and grit. I’m certainly glad I found it. It cuts my house-] I cleaning time in half.” 'QUALITY PRICE PROTECTS CONSUMERS {&'1 ■ 11 " [PROGRESS -SHOES 1,4,000 YEARS kW-mPT/AHS uurco PAPYRUS SANDALS/; ’ I629-TH0S.
