B DuBois that gave birth to Pan-Africanlam as a world force, Negro leadership has hith­ erto concentrated its fire, or at least its ire, on securing civil rights from America’s white ma­ jority and Negroes were bound to realise sooner or later that race and color was a major factor in foreign relations, hence for­ . | eign policy. The meeting was held. It was efficiently conducted and only) the passing of time itself will tell whether the resolves were for real or just more “sound and fury.” Surely, the top-drawer caliber of the conference leadership would seem to indicate exper­ ience, efficiency, dedication, and determination in that order. A meeting called by A. Philip Ran­ dolph, Roy Wilkins. Martin Luth­ er King, Dorothy Height and Whitney Young, should turn out to be neither bag-fest or sewing circle. It should start something. History as it relates to Ne­ groes in the United States is evidence of the important role Negroes have played in U. S. Foreign Policy. For the most) part that role has been more passive than anything else. From the very beginning when George Washington demurred on the use of Negro troops in the War of Revolution, skin color became a factor In foreign policy de­ cisions. from that day forward, the Africa-related millions in Amer­ ica became a part of every major foreign policy problem. loquacious sisters with daisy appliques and calico binding on pin wale pique from her Holi­ day collection and available ex­ clusively at Saks Fifth Avenue in sizes 2 to 6 at $6. and $8. “One World” Of Fashion Now In Men’s Fashion Robert Mortal, Dr. John Maupin, Dr. an ate Jenkins, Dr. and Oreavea, and Messr Hepburn, Dr. and Mrs. Cave, Marian English, Hamilton.

Colonialism, knows his way around the the whipping boy of the Commun-1 ^orld | lsts, is nothing more or less than Jim-Crow on an International scale. It is open exploitation of darker peoples, their land, re­ sources and labor. 1 The United States of America cannot comfortably align itself with the forces of freedom in Africa without choosing sides on the color question. This poses something of a dilemma since the tolor question is as yet un­ resolved in America and Is in­ deed its most pressing social issue. From th s observation post we canrut dis’era whether the ab­ sence of Negro religious leader­ ship in th* African leadership J conference va*. due to oversight, slight or dteign. Possibly neither. Role of The Church It is a fact however, that the !Negro church and its leadership is an essential element in trans­ lating any politically orientated movement into action, i True. Martin Luther King is a I member of the clergy, an emin­ ent and world renowned member for that matter. He is not how- lever, a denominational leader in the true sense of the word, hence the charge that Negro churches were not represented in this policy-planning session may have some degree of valid- Certainly their historic role in African, affairs would seem to merit more than mere mention. The A.M,E. Church for example, has been laboring in Africa for close to a half-century. Negro Baptists, the A.M.E. Zion Church and several other denominations have well entrenched African interests. Where were they in the policy planning-at-Arden House? In any event, it Is to be hoped that disagreement over who started it will not hinder or de­ tract from the goal of the Af­ rican leadership conference en­ gaging Negroes' political influ­ ence in behalf of African free­ dom.

AMSTERDAM NEWS, Sat, Jan. 5, 1963 Boston Personalities By MOE ROBINSON One of the tilings to which I look forward every Christmas morning is a phone call to wish happy birthday to Cab Calloway. It is always nice to know that Cab, wtfe Nuffie and then- three beautiful daughters are happy and healthy. Minnie the Moocher has stopped “kickin’ the gong around” and Smokey Joe is play­ ing checkers in the old folks home in­ stead of chasing Minnie around Chinatown, but the fellow who gave these two immortality is still very much around and lookin’ go-o-o-odl His royal highness, the prince of hi-de- ho, veteran of the roaring twenties in Chicago and New York, is singing and twigtlng his way into the hearts of Moe Robinson youngsters who were unborn when he was the toast of the speakeasy circuit. Stage, screen, night clubs and the dance halls all were conquered by the handsome man from Har­ lem. How many female hearts did flip-flops when he went into his mad whirl, hair flying and the tails ot Ills white full dress suit joining the wild gyrations? How many men pro­ jected themselves into his shoes and for a few mom­ ents pictured themselves as the royal highness of hi-de-ho-, Cab Calloway? The “Mocher” How many nights did you sit up until one or two in the morning wait­ ing to hear the opening notes of Minnie the Moocher introducing 30 minutes of jazz and jive from Harlem’s famous Cotton Club? The program might have erupted with “Jitter Bug Stomp” followed by “Boog It” in which he made circular motions with his open hand like polishing a Wdow. CAB CALLOWAY For a change of pace he might have sung “Emaline”, a beautiful ballad, of he might have gone torchy with “Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea”. While you were still hanging on the ropes he probably hit you with “Harlem Camp Meeting” “Geechy Joe” or “The Man From Harlem”. Medley time would find him doing “If Thii Isn’t Love”, “Dawntime” or “I’ve Got the World oi a String”. , Sporting Life " His finale might have been “Minnie th Moocher’s Wedding Day”, “St. James Infirmar Blues” or “You Rascal You”. Whatever he sang lef you so hepped up, sleep eluded you for hours whil you lay abed picturing yourself a la Walter Mitty at the Cotton Club with a couple of beautiful dolli drinking genuine scotch (made in Flatbush) and en joying the terrific floor show which featured song written by Harold Arlen and had Evelyn Irving, Th Moses Sisters, Billie Bow, Maude Russell, Lena Horn and “Queue” Hodges (Mrs. Johnny Hodges) amon the ladies of the ensemble. Eventually, Europe and South America sui rendered to the talents of Cab Calloway and for yeai In Sweden Jhls records outsold all other America entertainers by a wide margin. As “Sportin’ Life in “Porgy and Bess” he Stole the show in the rol oreated for him by author George Gershwin. Yes, our youth is indivisibly joined to the roa; ing twenties and the swinging thirties of scat-singln Cab Calloway but as we sit in our rocking chair Ca has won himself thousands of new, young fans t doing one-nighters throughout the midwest and ft west. Why does he still knock himself out? PrimSrE because show business is his life and the applaui of the crowd Is the adrenalin which stimulates h ehtife Iselng hut leaves no hang-over. And, oh ye tiie money is mighty good, too!
