Thursday, November 11, 194S 2 Wisconsin State Journal Spuds Lowly? Cowles Warns Miss Joyce Elizabeth Radel Engaged to Chester Howard Talkies Bring Tadeout' Now for Teacher's Pet Can Correct Peopl to the average grade school pupil InjusticeSSays Negro Ry LOUISE C. MARSTON (State Journal Society Editor) If the American people and the government of the United States really want to correct the injustices committed against minority groups in the country, they can do it, G. James Fleming, brilliant Negro graduate of the University of Wisconsin and a regional director of President Roosevelt's committee on fair employment practice, told members of the Madison branch of the American Association of University Women Wednesday at the College club. Mr. Fleming's lecture was the second in a series on labor questions being sponsored this season by the social studies committee of the AAUW.

"America is the country which has always made the impossible possible," said Mr. Fleming. "Every advancement and improvement that labor has accomplished was called 'impossible' by some people. If we are courageous enough to try the experiment of being fair to the minority groups in our country, we may surprise ourselves. I 2 1 i i Ki- i iJ'' I I 1 1 1 1 of Nationalism It Aids Bureaucracy, Publisher Warns NEW YORK (U.R) John Cowles Des Moines, publisher, told the Kiwanis club of New York Wednesday that unless the United States joins in post-war interna tional collaboration, high taxes, regimentation, and a coalition of nations against us will be inevita ble.

Introduced in a letter from Wen dell L. Willkie which described him as "my friend," a man who 'not alone understands what causes America to tick but also will cause the world to tick," Cowles urged a post-war foreign policy of international cooperation based on "enlightened self interest." 'If we go it alone, we will end up in the soup, Cowles said. "High taxes for defense will necessitate complete regimentation. Nationalism is not what many of its proponents think it is. If we pursue nationalistic policies after the war other nations will coalesce against us and we may find that we have fought this war to make America safe for bureaucracy." Full employment, Cowles said, was another necessity in the post war world.

He, warned that unless private enterprise supplies jobs, the government will. He urged 'incentive taxation" programs to encourage industry to risk capital and said that access to world markets through revision of tariff regulations and trade barriers was essential. Cowles said it was far more im portant to get "the right kind of peace," than to "haggle over collecting lend-lease money." "So-called reverse lend lease is far greater than most people think," he said and suggested that the pooling of resources after the war for the protection of international peace should serve as the answer, to lend-lease collection problems. Mickey Witek Passes Coast Guard Exams WILKES BARRE (U.R) Mickey Witek, 27, second baseman of the New York Giants, today passed his physical tests and was inducted into the U. S.

Coast Guard. Witek will report to the Manhattan Beach training station next Wednesday. $5 'CONSCIENCE MONEY' PAWTUCKET, R. I. (U.R) While Tom Blanchard, manager of a downtown market, was opening his morning mail, a $5 bill flutter-d out of one envelope.

Saturday, 9:30 a. Children's confirmation class. The brightie who knows it all, the child who monopolizes class discussion with precocious bluffing in short, the teacher's pet is on the wane. This near miracle is the result of a new teaching method now employed in Madison's elementary schools which bears the formidable name "audio-visual education," or, to use a more commonplace term, "sound movies." "Anybody with unimpaired vision can see and understand a motion picture," says W. A.

Wittich, principal of Marquette school where movies have found a definite place in the curriculum, "and in the discussion following the showing of a picture even the dullest pupil can participate fully because he has as much foundation knowledge as the class quiz kid." Shown Once a Week Sound movies are shown to both primary and intermediate groups at Marquette on the aver age of once a week (the average pupil could not absorb much more) and cover a variety of subjects including community life and natural history for the pn maries, and world life, industry, commerce, and science for the in termediates. Movies are closely correlated to the subject being studied and are presented first with a general broadening viewpoint in mind, and then with the intention of putting across detail and fact. Thus the sixth graders studying the Southwest will be shown first a movie picturing the history, geography, landscape, and gen eral appearance of that section of the country, followed by other reels depicting for example, the cattle industry, truck farming, and copper mining. Class discussions and further reading are then taken uo with the movie as a jumping-off point. The Old "Plugs" Confused The principle of movies in the classroom is not new but has hitherto been largely confined to the showing of old silent films and "pseudo-scientific" features sponsored by commercial concerns which manage to confuse the is sue by introducing plugs for their product Now, through tha University of Wisconsin visual education film library, a number of sound pic tures, scientifically made by such organizations as Coronet, Para mount, and the University of Chicago, is available to public schools at costs ranging from 50 cents for 10-minute reels to $2.50 for 20-minutes.

At first both parents and teachers were skeptical as to the efficiency of audio-visual methods but since the movie idea was introduced at Marquette school two years ago it has caught on to such an extent that the Parent Teachers assn. purchased a $350 16-millimeter projector and the teachers want to show more film than the school budget will allow. The advantage of movie education, as defined by Wittich, is that facts and experiences foreign are made real on the screen as no textbook could make it, thus bringing the schools closer to the goal of vivid education which is one of the points being empha sized during National Education Week. Graphic Illustration A graphic illustration of the audio-visual method in broaden ing a pupil's horizon was given recently when one of Marquette's intermediate grades was shown a picture depicting the life and customs of the pigmy tribe of Africa. After the projector went off and the lights flashed on, a look of bewilderment was noted on a number of small faces.

Finally one moppet spoke up for the class. "Gee, teacher," he exclaimed. It's sure funny. always thought pigmies were imaginary things like dwarfs and giants in fairy tales but here they are, real people! Prairie du Sac Leads Sauk County War Fund BARABOO To the village of Prairie du Sc go first honors in Sauk county's national war fund campaign, for the collections there have already exceeded the village quota of $525, it has been announced by Gordon L.

Manfred S. Block, Mrs. Glen Turk, Mrs. George Helmer, Mrs. Clyde Mayhew, Mrs.

James J. Scott, Mrs. Emery Bellmeyer, and Mrs. Frank O. Whitcher.

Mrs. Milton A. Melcher is now president. In order to conserve filing space and manpower many railroads now photograph waybills on miniature film, which work can be performed at the rate of 50 per minute. We will need the same intelligence, however, that we would use in introducing any other employment innovation." "Mr.

Fleming, whose talk dealt principally with discrimination against the Negroes, Jews, and other minority groups in the field of employment, cited case after case in which the doors of industry were closed to certain Americans because of their race and color. Three Jobs for Negroes In for example, an air craft plant was being built that required 40,000 workers. There were 45 different types of jobs open for whitvi men but only three for Negroes cooking, tailoring, and carpentry. You can see how many airplanes the Negroes would help build'." When President Roosevelt made his executive order that industry could not arbitrarily screen out minority groups, and established the committee on fair employment practice, Mr. Fleming was chosen one of the regional directors.

Although his headquarters are in Philadelphia, Mr. Fleming travels a great deal, hearing complaints in various industrial centers. Mr. Fleming, who points out that when the various minority groups are added together they make a very ''significant" minority element in the country, believes that the war has helped somewhat in introducing Negroes and other minority races into the field of business and industry. -If the viewpoint of management has changed in favor of employing people of minority groups, then some good has been accomplished," he said.

"However, if the Negroes, Jews, Latin Americans, and others have been hired only because of the urgency of the situation, then everything will revert to previous standards at the end of the war!" Feel Unwanted Mr. Fleming declared that the greatest handicap confronting a member of a minority group is the feeling that he is "unwanted" unwanted in business, industry, research, or society. He urged his listeners to do something constructive about the problem by urging their husbands to be fair in employing men and women of other races and creeds. He also urged the women to be kind to the Negro soldiers at Truax Field. "I met a Negro soldier in Philadelphia who told me that he had been in several camps in the north and south but that he'd never felt so 'cramped' in all his life as in Madison," said Mr.

Fleming. The new Want Badger "670. Ad number is Still Colder Weather Ahead! Altrusa Club Hears Book Review Walter Lippmann's best seller, "The U. S. Foregin Policy," was the subject of discussion at the dinner meeting of the Altrusa club Wednesday night at the University club.
