...formulation of his theories of non-violent action (ahimsa and satyagraha). He took the view that every citizen is responsible for every act of his government. A new book on General Billy Mitchell has revived the story of his courtmartial, conviction and suspension from service. Mitchell has been proven right, but the only officer at the trial to vote for his acquittal was Douglas MacArthur, who some years later would have his own Harry S. Creon to contend with. The Nuremberg War Crimes trial raised the issue again. And in the past few weeks the headlines have been full...
...stay with the company throughout the ten-month season and blend smoothly into the overall musical texture. Instead of garnishing glorious music with pageantry and posturing, Hamburg produces cohesive, hard-hitting dramatic performances, in which the text is as important as the score. And instead of sticking with proven but sometimes flyblown versions of operatic warhorses, it mounts eight new productions every year, two of which, like Jacobovsky and The Visitation, are commissioned works by contemporary composers...

To help those men find a place in civilian life worthy of their talents and proven leadership capabilities, the Urban League will begin this summer to seed ten "Veterans Affairs Offices" into its 81 nationwide centers. Funded at $175,000, the VAO program will help Negroes use their G.I. benefits ($150 a month for education), place them in a "skill bank," and offer on-the-job training...
