May 15 (NNPA) Milton Berle, the comedian, this week accepted the chairmanship of the entertainment division of the Urban League Service Fund. Henry R. Luce national campaign chaij'man, announced, last Saturday. In accepting, Mr. Berle said: You dont have to hit me with a Bill of Rights to make me realize that a tenth of our nation is not enjoying an equal opportunity to share in the richness of America.

A square break at a decent job a good house in which to live an education these are the things I mean when il speak of richness." An indefatigahle performer on behalf of worthy causes. Mr. Berle has participated in many entertainments in Harlem ind the South, particularly before Negro veterans. He first appeared before a colored audience in the Lafayette Theater in Harlem atth agp ,10. He was born on the 118ln and Fifth nt world campaign Pontius Pilate Words Recalled THE WEEKLY REVIEW BY LOUIS LAUTIER OR A LITTLE FUNI Over in England, as a result of the war.

there is an extreme shortage of men and a surplus of women that wolves like to dream about. Last Tuesday as a remedy for this situation the Rev. w. G. Har-erave-Thomas.

the vicar of Needham Market, in Suffolk England recommended that a pool of heal-hy men be created to help frustrated English women produce the oabies that they want. Said the Rev. Hargrave-Thomas: Women who feel the need for child should have one. But I i dont approve of artificial insemi-i lation. Emotion surrounding the sexual act is necessary and beau-iful.

Test tube babies will produce robots. The good Rev. added: "I suggest nere might be a pool of healthy! nen who would perform the sex-; ual act for needy spinisters to iroduce beautiful babies but not! or mere lust, of course." Now, Joe. no one will dispute! he Reverends right to speak his mind (and few people will deny hat he can find as many healthy nen as he wants for that pool) nit these Englishmen (and women should, make up their minds. You see, Joe according to re-orts from London, another result of the war is the fact that there re already more than 10,000 illegitimate babies in England which colored GI's, stationed there during the war, helped the frus-trrt English spinsters produce.

I. the strange part of the situation is that England, despite the acute shortage of manpower, is making a desperate attempt to hip those babies to the Unityd States.
