COHN, Guest Editor of this issue, is a native of the Mississippi Delta country, and knows at first hand the special economic and social problems of the South. He is a frequent contributor to periodical literature, and is the author of a number of books ranging from "God Shakes Creation," a portrait of the Delta region, and "Picking America's Pockets," which deals with the economic consequences of the tariff, to "The Good Old Days"--the life and times of the Sears, Roebuck catalogue. His editorial appears on Page 3. HOWARD W. ODUNU is director of the Institute for Research in Social Science at the University of North Carolina, and the editor of Social Forces. His reputation as an authority on regionalism is nation-wide, his "American Regionalism" representing a standard work in the field. He is also the author of "Southern Regions," a landmark in the field of social research. Mr. Odum's article, "The Patterns of Regionalism in the Deep South," begins on Page 5. ROARK BRADFORD's novels and stories about Southern Negroes are widely known, especially "Old Man Adams and His Chillun," "John Henry," and "Kingdom Coming."
