Political
Status Is
A Problem
Until white Southerners grant
full political status to Negroes, no
workable solution to the school j
segregation issue is possible, says
the January issue of Harper’s Mag- \
azine.
The Harper's editorial comment
accompanies publication of an
article titled* “The Southern Case
Against Desegregation” by Thomas
R. Waring, editor of the Charleston
(S.C.) News and Courier.
The Harper’s editors say in a
headnote to Mr. Waring’s piece
that his point of view is “far re
moved" from theirs, but that they
feel it should be published.
In its editorial comment, the
publication says that seldom are
Southern whites “willing to grant
that millions of Americans see
racial justice as a moral issue—
springing from the Christian doc- <
trine that every man is equal be- ]
fore God—and that it has been a
moral issue ever since the days '
of Thoreau and Emerson. They,
forget that, at bottom, this was
what the Civil War was all about.” j
Harper's also comments that
every improvement in the status
of the Negro as a citizen has re
sulted from “outside pressure” on
the white Southerner and that at
every step he his shouted “too j
fast.” That pressure will continue,!
the magazine says, until the white(
Southerner begins “to move under
his own steam to solve his own
racial problems—in a manner ac
ceptable to both races.”
The magazine says it is publish
ing Waring’s article for the follow
ing four reasons:
1. The Nation should under
stand the state of mind Mr. Waring
reflects.
2. “So far there has been al
most no rational discussion be-:
tween the men of good will on
each side of the issue. Until such j
a dialogue can be started the j
angry men will dominate the!
field.”
3. Other points of view have
been presented in Harper’s.
4. One of the duties of an in
dependent magazine, allied to no
party or interest group, is to give
a hearing to significant bodies of
opinion which cannot find express
ion elsewhere—even when the
editors disagree.
SCREEN VERSION OF GUYS
AND DOLLS DRAWS BIG
CROWDS TO STATE THEATRE
That noise you hear isn’t an
other hurricane. It’s the roar of
applause coming from the State
Theatre, where GUYS and DOLLS
is playing for the second success
ful week to super-happy custom
ers.
Written for the screen and di
rected by four time Academy A
ward winner Joseph L. Mankie
wiez, and based on the stage show'
which ran on Broadway for three
years, this big, brassy, bouncy mu-'
sical is the greatest entertainment
ever to emerge from the Cinema
scope and color cameras. I
You name it and GUYS and
DOLLS has iL It’s got Omaha’s1
own Marlon Brando in his first'
song-and-dance role. It’s got
Jean Simmons as a Save-a-Soul
Mission gal, who saves both her j
mission and her reputation. It’s
got Frank Sinatra in the funniest
role he has ever played as the
proprietor of New York’s oldest
established floating crap game.
It's got Vivian Blaine, repeating
her Broadway triumph as Miss
Adelaide. And it’s got a flock of
other hilarious characters invented
for laughs and posterity by the
late Damon Runyon.
If you hear a lot of people sing
ing and humming, they’re warb
ling the hit GUYS and DOLLS
melodies of Frank Loesser. The
dances that go with them were
created by Michael Kidd, one of
show business’ greatest choreo
graphers. In other words, GUYS
And DOLLS is the top. It will
continue at the State for an indefi
nite run. Run-don't walk, for a
wonderful time.

Christir.as Figures
AT CHRISTMAS time each
year, thousands of families
like to dress up their home ex- ;
teriors and interiors with yule
tide figures, like the Santa
Claus and reindeer shown in
the illustration.
Because Masonite Tempered
Presdwood is weather-resistant
and can be used year after year,
more and more craftsmen are
fashioning their Christmas fig
ures of this material. Available
at most lumber yards, it should
be obtained in either 3/16" or
14" thickness.
This splinter-free material
takes a beautiful finish of
paint or enamel, or ready
painted paper cutouts may be
applied with waterproof glue.
A selection of gay patterns,
including the one shown, may
be obtained free by writing the
Home Service Bureau, Suite
2037, 111 West Washington St.,
Chicago 2, 111., and requesting
the folder of Christmas plans.
Directions for using them are
included.
Add Space, Save Work
Jf HE chooses materials care
fully, the man of the house
who converts wasted attic space
into an extra room can save
himself work both at the time
of installation and in the future.
Using Marlite planks and
blocks, which have tongue-and
groove edges, walls and ceilings'
I 1. 1 ■' 1 1 A'" 1 ..1 l ■ II
can be covered in short order. ]
The paneling can be applied ;
over furring strips or a continu- |
ous base like plasterboard.
Since this paneling, made of
Tempered Presdwood, is already
decorated with plain colors or
wood grain patterns, no paint
ing or finishing is necessary.
What’s more, its baked plastic
finish not only resists soil and
wear but needs no decorating
later.
For design interest, an end
wall may be covered with blocks
to match planks on sidewalls,
and planks of a different color
used on the sloping ceiling.
Keep Drawer Knobs Tight
TTSE of a lock washer can keep
a knob screw on a drawer
from turning, according to Popu
lar Mechanics. The special washer
should be placed between a flat
washer and the head of the screw.
If it is located against a wooden
LOCK WiUn /TJ
surface, it will sink into the wood
and lose its locking ability. The
same principle can be applied to
koup wooden knobs-tight on the
lids of pots and pans.

Tangy Tomato Aspic Liked By Men
Jellied salads liked by men are those with the natural flavors of
foods predominating. Tomato aspic continues among the masculine
favorites because of its clear and direct tomato tang. This salad is a
natural too with such menu leaders as steak and potatoes. See
recipe below
Tomato aspic rates as a classic of gel-cookery, and the simple
formula only calls for combining tomato juice, unflavored gelatine
and seasoning. The plain gelatine, softened in cold juice and then
thoroughly dissolved in hot tomato juice, introduces no flavor of its
own. Its magic property is to gel the tomato juice at refrigerator
temperature. T hen at taste-time, each bite is firmly cool yet melting
to create a very special appetite appeal.
To unmold, quickly dip the salad mold to its depth in hot water;
loosen around edge of container with tip of knife; hold serving plate
over mold; invert, and salad will slip onto the plate.
Quick Tomato Aspic
2 envelopes unflavored gelatine % teaspoon onion salt
3J4 cups cold tomato juice Y teaspoon sugar
Yi teaspoon salt J4 teaspoon Tabasco
Y teaspoon celery salt 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Soften gelatine in 1 cup of the cold tomato juice. Place over boiling
water; stir until gelatine is dissolved. Add to remaining 2Yt cups
tomato juice; stir in remaining ingredients. Pour into a 4-cup loaf pan;
chill until firm. Unmold on platter; garnish with salad greens. To
serve, cut into 8 portions. Serve with Roquefort cheese dressing.
YIELD: 8 servings.
NOTE: For 4 servings, cut recipe in half and pour into individual molds.

A Sweet Old Custom
BT11HB —>■ rrifim—>xssmm1
It’s an Old-World belief that Christmas Sweets—when shared with
Yuletide visitors—keep the Spirit of Christmas in your house! So
it’s important to serve at least one confection that everyone likes ...
an easy treat, too, that children can help with. “Christmas Balls,’’
for instance, made with that deliciously crunchy candy-coated cereal,
; Sugar Crisp—all gayly studded with candied cherries.
Small girls, like this one, who can make good-looking <>ows, love
to tie these Kris Kringles in bright ribbons and make them look as
exciting and wonderful as they taste.
Kris Kringles
2 H cups Sugar Crisp y% teaspoon soda
. %. cup chopped M cup dark com syrup
candied cnerriee % cup milk
H cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla
yi teaspoon salt H cup butter or margarine
Combine cereal and cherries in large greased bowL Combine sugar,
■alt, soda, com syrup, and milk in saucepan. Bring to a boil over
medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Continue boiling, stirring

water (or to a temperature of 2469F.). Remove from heat and cool
1 minute.
Add vanilla and butter and beat until thick. Pour over cereal and
mix well. Let stand until mixture is cold. Butter hands lightly and
shape mixture into 2-inch balls. Makes about 12 balls. To make

Pride in achievement rewards th’s youngster making her own dell’s
clothes on a “portable” sewing machine made of hi-test styrene plastic.
Playthings tliat encourage children to share their parents’ activi
ties get top preference for Christmas this season. Small fry have
graduated from miniatures to junior sized models in colorful do-it
yourself toy3.
Distinct realism keynotes the child-conditioned, durable, styrene
plastic toy3 created for this demand.
A youngster shares the magic of achievement when she makes her
doll’s clothes while mother sews a dress for her. It’s extra fun for the
wee miss who gets her first lesson in housework using a vacuum
cleaner with a motor operated by flashlight batteries.
Famous brands from food mixc3 to sewing machines supply prac
tically everything a little girl needs to make her mother’s li 'le
helper, the painless way. Now she’s not “in the way” when e le
catches the excitement of family party preparations and wani.3 to
help. She has a holiday in the kitchen whipping up a dessert from
her own kit for young friends.
Doctor, lawyer, Indian Chief—it makes no difference. Playwise
Junior can follow hi3 Dad’s foclst: 3 even if he i3 a pilot. A boy
learns about aviation from a plastic pilot trainer that does prac
tically everything a plane does except leave the ground.
The young and young-at-hearfc ca \ a’-? countless hours in hobbies
such as model car, ship and airplane building.
