Won't Fight
Russ-Robeson
PARIS, (AP) — Paul Robeson,
American Negro singer, told the I
Communist-inspired World Peace
Congress today that American Neg
roes would never fight the Soviet
Union.
He injected the first fire into an
otherwise monotonous opening ses
sion that heard repeated attacks on
the Atlantic pact, the U. S. atomic
policy, the Marshall plan and “An
glo-American capitalist imperial
ism’’ from a serieg of speakers.
“I bring you a message from the
Negro people of America that they
do not want a war which would
send them back into a new kind of
slavery,” Robeson told the cong
ress.
American wealth, he said, was
built by millions of immigrant
workers from eastern Europe and
on “the backs of millions of Neg
roes" and “we are determined to
share this wealth.”

It serves her right!
Mary jane gives the telephone in her
house a real work-out.
But we’re not worried a bit. We know
Mary Jane’s telephone is going to keep right
on delivering good service year after year.
Because the Bell System puts a lot of time,
thought, and testing into making telephone
equipment as rugged and trouble-free aa
possible.
Tests are constantly under way at the
Bell Telephone Laboratories. There, for
example, new types of telephone instru
ments are put through a school of hard
knocks. Dials and other parts are given
strength and wear tests. Even the bottom
of the telephone set has been designed
and checked to make sure that it will not
scratch or stain furniture.
Such tests—on little things as well as on
big things—help give you the world’s best
telephone service at the lowest possible
cost.
