Last week C. A. A. certified two Negro schools: West Virginia State College at Institute, W. Va., whose President John Warren Davis lobbied in Washington for inclusion of Negroes in the program; and North Carolina's Agricultural & Technical College at Greensboro. If their students do as well in flying school as did 330 whites at 13 colleges which participated in experimental training classes last spring, better than 95% will be licensed, and Willa Brown's National Airmen's Association should grow apace. Of the 62,200 pilots (including students) now licensed by C. A. A. only...
...Russia's grab last week did not look like Poland's small-boy attempt to run off with a stick of candy while the big boys were killing the proprietor. It looked more like a step in a program of world redistribution whose outlines were consciously obscured, whose possibilities were unknown, perhaps even to the partners in the enterprise. Nothing suggested that Russia faced a fate like Poland's, the last country to share a grab with Germany, except the haunting recollection of Russia's new friends coming in her direction, armed to the teeth...
Harlem's hotspots last week had 45 knowing visitors. The 45 were delegates to the American Musicological Society's first international congress, climaxing a strenuous six-day program in Manhattan. Such eminent musicologists as Yugoslavia's Dragan Plamenac, Denmark's Knud Jeppesen, Venezuela's Juan Lecuna, watched the Big Apple, the Lindy Hop, the Shag, drank what there was to drink. At the Savoy Ballroom, Bandmaster Erskine Hawkins swung Bach, Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C Minor in their honor. The bolder musicologists ventured gingerly out on the floor, soon got limber...
...theory the delegates heard: a dozen concerts ranged in theme from music of the two Americas to Venetian and Dalmatian songs of the Renaissance. One program resurrected unpublished music by Handel, none of it performed since the composer's day. Enjoyed most by delegates and outsiders alike was a concert of medieval music at The Cloisters, Manhattan's museum-piece museum of Gothic art, where bull-necked French Tenor Yves Tinayre and a girls' choir sang motets, trouvere songs, Gregorian chants...
...Council of Churches, a federation of the greatest non-Roman communions, was born too late to help; it is not even yet operating officially. Unofficially, the Council last July summoned a "board of strategy" of 32 men and two women to meet in a Swiss hotel, draw up a program of Christian international strategy. A long statement of their views was published last week in The Christian Century, with an introduction by one of the 34: Dr. Albert Wentworth Palmer, president of Chicago Theological Seminary.*The statement will be issued as a pamphlet by the Federal Council of Churches...
