...meet the "equal facilities" requirement laid down by a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 1938. Apparently no one else thought so, either. Said Acting President Allen E. Norton, a Negro: "Institutions are not built in a day. It will take us 25 years. Too many of our own people expect a great Negro university in eight weeks...
...paying Negro leagues protested against "raiding" their men. There had been Negroes in big-league ball before, but they had been careful to identify themselves as Indians or "Cubans." The late Minor League President Bill Bramham cried: "Father Divine will have to look to his laurels, for we can expect Rickey Temple to be in the course of construction in Harlem soon."

...sympathy need not be shed for the plight of the misunderstood and isolated Russians. Fat has dealt them one of the strongest hands at the international poker table. If they choose to play with a blatant disregard for the best established principles of Dale Carnegic, they should not expect that the other participants will smilingly throw in their hands. At the same time, any talk of reorganizing the U.N. without Russian membership is decidedly unrealistic. The U.N. without Russia would meet the same disaster that befell the League of Nations without the United States. The important issues...
