RANSOM GOINS EL. 4566 GA. 4791 Auk For Ran' The WAY I SEE IT ir By NELL DODSON RUSSELL NEW YORK CITY -Three letters have been received charging that this writer, by not coming out for either Stevenson or Eisen hower. is ducking the most important issue of the day. All three of these letters were signed with names unfamiliar to me and I may add, names that looked very peculiar. The fact that I have not come out in support of either candidate does not mean I am ducking an issue. It means merely that I fail to be inspired with rousing enthusiasm over either Stevenson or Eisenhower and the parties they represent. As far as Yours Truly is concerned, Stevenson talks too much and has yet said little of vital significance, while Elsenhower talks but says even less on questions that af fect our national and international well-being. So far it’s been a battle of blab with a lot of yackety-yack obscuring the real Issues. It would hardly be fair fo * me to try to influence the readers of this column either one way or the other when I am far from having made a decision myself. I certainly don't intend to make up my mind purely on the stand or the reported stand each candidate takes on civil rights and FEPC alone. You’ll remember that when Jim Griffin of St. Paul lost his battle for the state legislature by three votes last time, I expressed the hope that he would make another try. I was very gratified tb hear the results of the recent primaries which put Jim in second place and right back in the running again this time. Those of us from the Twin Cities here in New York are going to get a little campaign kitty together for Jim and send it on. I hope that other Twin Citians in Washington, D. C. and California and elsewhere will send on their Individual or group contributions. It doesn’t have to be much because I don't think any of us have too much left these days after the bite taxes and the high cost-of-living takes out of our paycheck. Items like stamps, stationery and campaign literature plus a dozen and one little extras add up during a campaign, so every con tribution, no matter how small, helps The fact that Jim can do so well in a mixed Negro and white district Is not only a credit to him but to those who have come out in hts support He’s young, he's a talker, and that Is a bless ing when one goes Into politics. From what I know of him, he's not the Uncle Tom type. He has an intelligent, attractive wife and some lovely children. I would say this Is a pretty good back ground for a youngster just entering the political wars. If I were home, I'd go stumping for him myself. And I hope those three people who didn't get out to vote last time will get the lead out of their britches and show up at the polls this time. From Sid Friedlander's column in the New York Post: Jackie Robinson Is disturbed by the boos he has been get ting and is talking about hanging up his spikes at the end of the season. He attributes the boos to his recent ri-action to the $75.00 fine plastered on him by League Proxy Warren Giles. He had hopes Giles would have Issued a statement exonerating him but Giles says the Incident Is dosed.” (One might ask what about the boos BEFORE the rhuburb that •ought on the fine?) The New York Age, Harlem newspaper, in its edition of Septem ber 13th, carried a story with Robinson allegedly stating anent the "I should have requested a hearing before I popped off.” The Age item also had Robinson saying he had had "a wonderful talk" with Giles and that he, Robinson, “should have paid the fine.” I hate to keep belaboring the point of Jackie Robinson but it seems to me that It’s time for Jackie to start taking a little stock of liis career and the decline In his popularity as an in dividual even though the cheers still resound for his status us a great competitive player. After a brief flare-up in the headlines of the daily press, the beating of singing star Pearl Bailey by whites at the swank Riviera night club across the George Washington bridge in Jersey was ap parently quashed as being too hot to handle. Pearl, the "Tired" gal, attended the Riviera with friends to hear Frank Sinatra. She was subjected to insults by anti-Negro members of a white party sitting nearby When she left she was accosted and beaten by two of the men. Perhaps the sudden daily press quiet that descended on the story was encouraged by the fact that the whites were In a party celebrating the wedding of a member of the New Jersey police force. The attack on Miss Bailey was outrageous enough to war rant an editorial in the Hearst New York Journal-American, a paper which usually devotes its news columns to headlines about "huge” Negroes mugging and attacking white people. I was told off-record that the entrance of the NAACP into the picture also might have had something to do with the word going down the line to "put the lid” on the Bailey attack. Mr. Walter White's organization hasn't been the most popular group around these parts since the Josephine Baker-Stork Club-Wai ter Winehell-New York Post ruckus of awhile back. In fact it’s be ginning to look suspiciously like any time the NAACP steps in on a case, a lot of other people step out. Goodness knows, Ebony is one of my favorite publications, but I think the boys out Chicago way arc running out of material. Seems to me the stuff on "eligible bachelors" on passing for white, on interracial marriage and picture layouts of the homes of allegedly society cullud folks have been done so many times by so many publi cations that by now they are getting a mite moth-eaten as subject material Maybe I’m wrong, maybe the readers like this kind of thing. Ebony has advanced with leaps and bounds since it first started publication and I always buy a half dozen copies to dis tribute around to white 1 friends. They are amazed and appalled at the truths of segregation and discrimination. This seems hard to believe, but it’s true. Ebony Is one of the few Negro publications I am proud to pass on. Some of ’em ought to la- burled In the hack yard. Ebony should have had its national staff getting together a fea ture on the trend in the coming election, if any. Their writers and photographers could have been busy in the bars, the barbershops, the clubrooms, the gathering places in the larger American cities try ing to find out just how Negro Americans are going to vote in November Is there a trend or isn't there? Ebony could have come out with a special election feature that would have had the politicians from coast to coast scurrying and scuttling around. Ebony has been doing a good job In showing the advances that have been made rather than carping on the negative side of the race relations picture. Most of all the magazine Is becom ing Increasingly respected In the advertising field, and this Is Im portant. Negro publications In the past have often been scoffed at by white advertisers and It is not hard to understand why, If one wants to face facts. I would like to see Ebony crack the “class" field in cosmetics and perfumes. Arden, Rubinstein, Matchabelli. Chanel. Negro wo men spend millions yearly on cosmetics and perfumes. I know how this gimmick can be presented to these houses in a way that will hit ’em right between the eyes. Negro newspapers and magazines have to keep pace with the times. There is a new era in race relations slowly but surely making itself felt. It 1s up to the editors and publishers of our publications to reflect this trend Intelligently and alertly. Some of them, I am sorry to say, are publishing a 1952 newspaper or magazine with a 1952 approach. The kids who come out of our Journalism schools these days want to be proud of the pubik'ations they work for and not put In the position of having to defend or excuse- them. Harlem, the "Negro capital of the world" still doesn’t have a newspaper that matches the par*- set by the daily press downtown. A handful of “hustlers" have made the entire Harlem press look ridiculous. The mugging headlines in the Journal-American, Mirror and Daily N«ws are not any worse than the same stuff screamed out by the uptown press. One reason I like Ebony is that it has managed more and more to combine a certain dignity with sensationalism. I think other Negro publications would do well to follow suit. * * * MOVIE REVIEW: “The Snows of Kilimanjaro’’ starring Gregory Peck. Ava Gardner, Susan Hayward. * * * * This Hollywood version of Ernest Hemingway’s short story doesn't fare any worse than most Hollywood adaptations of the works of famous authors. In some respects It fares better. I am not one of the worshippers at the Hemingway shrine, a horsy which some of my more Intellectual friends constantly decry. They feel that it Indicates a lack of appreciation for the better things of life. Hollywood, in bringing "Snows" to the screen, has added a num ber of its own gimmicks to the story and deleted some of Mr. Hem ingway's priceless literary foibles. As a result, while the movie is flavored with Hemingway dialogue and character, It manages to come out of the film mills something quite short of Hemingway. "Snows of Kilimanjaro" is the story of an author who be lieves himself to be dying. While he tosses on his cot In his ramp on the African plains, he sees his past life and lovea mirrored again in his fevered Imagination. In his conscious moments he remembers what he has left undone und what he has wanted to do but has never accomplished. He relives his love for the beautiful Cynthia, played by Ava Gardner Miss Gardner, incidentally, turns in one of her best acting roles as the tragic Cynthia. He remembers his brief fling with a cold bkxded countess played by Hildegard Neff. If I remember Heming way's short story, the character of Cynthia was merely an unnamed love while the countess didn't exist at all. In the film, the writer, played, of course, by Gregory Peck, sur vives his infected leg received on a hunting safari and recovers with a new appreciation of his rich wife, acted by Susan Hayward. In the story he neither survives nor undergoes surgery performed on the leg by the wife. "Snows of Kilimanjaro" gets off to one of the slowest starts I have ever seen on the screen, but when It does get going It manages to turn Into a picture well acted and beautifully pre sented In technicolor. Gregory Jock handles the role of the writer excellently by underplaying the part. Susan Hayward Is adept rnough as the wife. Even with Its faults, "Snows of Kilimanjaro’’ Is one of the better things to come out of Hollywood. A dark gloom has descended upon my office and the entire build ing The announcement that the annual Christmas party will be held at the St. George hotel in Brooklyn was not a cheerful little earful. Those who don't live in Brooklyn look upon a trip to Dodgertown as just a little less appealing than a trip to the cemetery with oneself in the starring role. "Brooklyn!” my co-workers are intoning drearily. "Who ever heard of a Christmas party in Brooklyn?" 'BIRTHDAY .GREETINGS ST.
