With the recent passing of the emaciated 84- year-old German Jew, Franz Boas, erica’s truly great. Less publicly acclaimed but on son, Burbank, and Gegrge San fields, Franz Boas, in “fathering American anthro- pology” set the public mind on toward scientific acceptances of physical and mental, tween race groups. Through early field work among primitive people Dr. Boas learned and passed on to cessors the knowledge that intelligence or traits of leadership, initiative or other capabilities were not but individually. It was therefore inevitable that in recent years Nazi ideology should bar his works from Germany, and as a Jew, he became the subject for imua distributed racially, Nazi hatred. As early as 1893 Dr. Boas was work with Northwestern Indian Haida, Tsimshean, Tlingit, Eskimo, and the Canadian | Quakiutl, Thompson, and Salish.

That is the implication attached ! to the 3,000,000 leaflets Republicans are quietly circulating, giving the menu and partial guest list of the dihner which millionaire Bernard Baruch spread in honor of Mrs. Harry Hopkins. It is a devastating piece of cam- g.lgn literature. After a reminder of rationing and war-front suffer- ing, the leaflet tells how Baruch showered vintage champagne, cav- | jar, pate de foie gras, lobster, tur- key and a long list of other luxu- riés on his guests. The leaflet neglects to say that # majority of the guests were high} ranking Army and Navy officers, plus Republicans from the War| Department, with Leon Henderson and Hopkins the only New Dealers t. “Because of that omission, ticlans viewed the leaflet as te until—a political gift beaven fell their way.

Furthermore Baruch him- self seldom goes out to dinner, and his own dinners usually include only four or five people. So after the Harry Hopkins blow-out a member of his family shook an accusing finger at him. “What does this mean, Uncle Bernie?” she scolded. “Here you'vé been telling us not to entertain, and writing us letters about being extravagant, and then you throw a party like this.” Mr. Baruch shook his head sadly. “You know I didn’t know much about it,” he said. “I left it all in “Handbook of “Ethnology works, land one of continued benefit to mankind. ger who said goodbye as iouows:i been one like it since dear Mr.; they should be careful about ex- | he eminent scientist constitute tific premises in the field, and in- rganization of the Quakiutl” pub- Kootenai Tales,” Bulletin 59 in the a ATIVES — Alasks Newspapers, 1011 | Anerjcan Ethnological series of Smithsonian Insti- 1 1918 but written before 1894; “The (1885); “Tsimshean Texts” (19802); hology” (1909); “Kathlamet Tales” American Indian Languages (1913); and (1927); and of the Quakiutl” “Primitive Art” in British Columbia.” Boas lived a full life of endless influence His to be held in the almost reverent respect with which his disciples and successors have already come to treat him in his lifetime. \ Eminent men and women have been proud to {call him Master— der Goldenweiser of Reed College, Oregon; Alexan- Dr. E.

Before the end of 1943 guests at a dinner may fol- low the potluck plan of taking a food contribution.
