The Sound Principle Of Our Foreign Aid Policy It is universally known that prior to the first World War there was a certain slogan which gained so much prominence that it was hard through the years. It ran something like this: "America for America," and is seeing service to this day among those orthodox diehard isolationists who live withdrawn in the selfish shell of fellow less firmament. The late President Woodrow Wilson, before the members had hardly died out in prostrate France, advanced the idea that the conquered nations that lay prostrate in the carnage of war, who advanced the idea that these nations must be rehabilitated and that it was the mission of the free nation left in the world to assume that challenge. We all know to this day the attitude of Clemanceau, Lloyd George and the high powers of Europe who wanted to see the German people suffer after World War I. Mr. Wilson was not able to sell his idea of rehabilitation, so the "Marshall Plan" handed out to Germany was "root hog or die poor." Upon this motion Hitler was able to raise a rebellion of Brown Shirts and in a short time they overthrew the puppet government which Germans neither understood nor relished. They tabilized the mark and went info an underground preparation for a second World War and were able to hurl the world into chaos for some four years. That war laid down the lesson that the conquered must be rehabilitated; that the peace must be guarded and in order for world order to maintain, a peace police force must be kept on hand to challenge the war dogs. Foreign aid came into being as one of the agencies for world peace; it was never intended as a give-a-way, but one of those moves for the furnishing of funds by which nations could come back to solvency by furnishing work and the making available of funds with which nations could trade with us. When the House appropriation committee suddenly slashed the foreign aid spending proposal in the face of public warning from the President of the United States, it drew from him the threat to call a special session of the Congress in order that our foreign aid program be not hampered. The foreign aid program is now just as much of our own economic concern as the borrower nations who wish to keep their industries going, their people employed and that good credit affording funds for international turnover. Strange as it might seem, there are still those dyed in the wool orthodox isolationists who scoff at foreign aid; call it a general give away and the Santa Claus fantasy. For many years to come, our foreign aid schedule must be kept up; such an unstable economy as followed the two World Wars must be occasionally wet nursed with every form and fashion of foreign aid available. Let us hope that the President's position will be supported by the Congress. We believe he knows more about foreign policy than do the members of Congress. Visiting Mississippi ing had taken place. Levi; told police that sometime about 3:20 the youths decided to swim across the lake. He went on to say that about halfway across. William said that he was tired, and that they started swimming back toward the barge. Levi further reported that 40 feet from the barge, William quit swimming, went under once, and then surfaced. He (Levi) said that William went under again and did not regain surface. Levi according to reports, called Radio Station WDIA informing them of the accident. The radio station in turn contacted John Coll. Park Commission waterfront director who immediately got in touch with James Thomas and Fred Bauer, two of the commission's employees on boat-duty at the lake. Using grappling hooks, the two men recovered the body at 3:40. Police said that the body was rushed to John Gaston Hospital, but it was obvious that the youth was dead when he was taken ashore. Mr. Coll in stating that the search for the youth's body did not star until approximately 46-minutes after the drowning, further revealed that the two park employee's boat was only a couple of blocks from the scene of the accident, with neither being notified that the victim had been drowned. Had the two men been notified sooner, Mr. Call stated there might have been a possibility of saving the youth's life. The patrol boat is radio-telephone equipped, and is set up to handle any type accident from a broken leg to a cut foot, Mr. Coll continued. He further divulged that to reach the boat in case of an emergency call long distance, ask for mobile service, and give the operator the "number JA 4-2629.

FOWLKES ONE OF THE MOST THOROUGH jobs of human conditioning and brain washing in the South's post-Reconstruction Era was done by School Boards and Superintendents of Public Instruction, who consistently "saw to it" that Negro children got the least possible in teaching facilities. Now, some ninety years' after the Civil War and the adoption of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution, they are "testing" Negro and white children to see "if" they should go to one common school. The same test is being given the designedly "crippled little ponies" of color and the carefully long-advantaged children of the majority to see which are in front and which are behind in educational achievement. For decades, in county after county throughout the South, the favorite answer of most superintendents to Negro patrons who asked for better schools was: "There's no more money left in treasury right now" . . . . or "That's good enough for you." According to plan, there was seldom any money left for Negroes and the "good enough" schools, including those given by Rosenwald, went unpainted and rottened into shacks. Hence, the "separate but equal" force produced generations of children who never learned to speak clearly the fine language of their native land, or to master its mathematics and physics and chemistry formulas. There will be more tests given to the "crippled little ponies," but none will show them to be innately inferior. All they need is a genuine American chance to measure arms and wits. America needs them and all their potential. In the face of unusually watchful and designing foreign world powers, America cannot afford "crippled horses." "That's Good Enough For You!" BY WILLIAM A.

REVIEWING THE NEWS BY WILLIAM GORDON It was one of those typical school days in the late fall. The principal of Oak Ridge High School at Oak Ridge, Tennessee had been very obliging in showing us about the building of almost 2,000 pupils. About 300 Negro pupils dotted the various class rooms. "Willie is a nice boy and I want to help him," spoke a middleaged White woman, a teacher, whose parents came from Memphis, Tennessee. "He feels that he is behind in his studies. He is smart, alert and above the average, so I remain here evenings after school to help him." Willie was not a special case, even at Oak Ridge; many white children fell into the same category. Willie's main handicap was that he came from an environment, void of the necessary tools. He had little basic training in the fundamentals of English, history and math. His mother had recently died. He didn't even know where his father was at the time. He came to Oak Ridge with his mother from some place in Arkansas. His background represented what most Negroes are given in Southern schools, overcrowded conditions, an inferior study plan and teachers without equipment to work with. Despite his background, he had been running, twice as fast to get half as far. And the distance by uphill grade, is a long way from Arkansas to Oak Ridge. It is a long way for Negroes anywhere in the South who have to run and make the best of their poor education facilities. The recent Atlanta, Georgia school board study is indicative of the results as well as the struggles, Negroes face in preparing themselves for society. The study, which revealed that Negroes finish four grades behind whites in the public schools gave only one side of the picture in the summary report. Whatever the results, there should have been a footnote saying: "Don't tell him he's inferior." Back of these results are conditions varied and sundry. The fact that Negroes stood up a well as they did is amazing in terms of the conditions they face. Basically, there is no inferiority. A white South African says this about the African natives, fighting in World War II. "Their capacity for learning is amazing. They not only adjust easily; they master the most complicated technical machinery." He told of the trip across the continent, finally into North Africa. "They only had to hear a language spoken once," he said. "It took them only a short while to speak Arabic in North Africa. By the time we reached Italy, they were speaking Italian fluently. There was simply no match for them." The South African's story reminded me of the Olmstead trip through the Deep South in the early 1850's. He met Negroes in Selma, Alabama who had mastered the tunes of several operas after hearing their masters hum them only once. There was the Negro builder who directed a force of whites under his master's orders; the Negro ministers whose grasp of the Bible amazed the most learned. Even today, there is the story of the barefoot boy, recently from his father's farm, where he has worked on tractors and other equipment. Today, he holds a top job in an automobile firm in a large Southern city. He has puzzled the best minds in modern mechanics with his genius of the automatic transmission. He holds no degree and his education does not go beyond the high school level. There are millions such Negroes, victims of a Deep South culture, crippled by the lack of opportunity, Tim proves there is no biological shortcomings with the Negro. So, never tell him he's inferior.

Labor Secretary to put strength back in the bill, a substantial body of one-time civil rights supporters backed down and quit. "They gave as a reason: 'Something is better than nothing.' All I can say to them is, this isn't the philosophy that made our country that it is today." In answer to a question about what civil rights supporters he was referring to, Secretary Mitchell said: "Some members of the AFL-CIO Executive Council and the ADA, to name two groups." "As to persons," he said in answer to further questions, "Mr. Reuther is a member of both. I want to make clear that I am not talking about Members of Congress when I refer to these 'one-time' civil rights supporters, but to those organizations and private individuals who have always been in the forefront of the civil rights movement." George Bells Lose ed in any way with the Sawyer or the Assurance company. The Bells stated in their petition that the charges grew out of a home loan transaction. The petition stated that Sawyer had transferred $4,120 to the Bells, but he had also "led them into" signing documents to secure debts of $6,700 by trust deeds which caused them to be overcharged $2,480. The petition stated further, the Bells have paid $1,947 of the $4,120 amount and the balance should be $2,172. Atty. Campbell Yerger, representing Sawyer and The Sawyer company. The lawyer Realty, Inc., took over as contractor in Dec. 23, 1953, said the formal answer to the Bells' charges. And at that time if there were illegal transactions at that time, they were not detectable. The answer went on to say that the Sawyer companies were money lenders and entitled to compensation for services. Little Rock North officials admit they do not know exactly how the white population will react to integration once it is underway. There is considerable opposition to integration, in any form. White citizens councils claim considerable public support. They have it, however, had the vocal and often vociferous support from public officials around which hard-core, all-out resistance has been built in some other southern states. The proponents of all-out resistance plan an eleventh-hour effort to win adherents late this month, with aid from Georgia's outspoken governor, Marvin Griffin. "I would frankly hesitate to say that we can integrate without incident," one official who keeps a broad finger on the public pulse observed. Another elected state official, refusing to be publicly identified, put it this way: "Undoubtedly, a majority of the white people are opposed to integration. But I believe most of the citizens of Arkansas earnestly desire to see order under law maintained. If we have no outside agitators stirring up trouble, there will likely be none." Official state position is lawful resistance to the supreme court decision of 1954. Arkansas citizens in November, authorized the legislature to oppose encroachments on states rights by a vote of 185,374 to 146,064. Opposition to this, declaration of states rights principles surprised many and may well account for what all-out segregation leaders call "luke warm" endorsement of segregation from top state officials. The registered Negro vote in Arkansas is proportionately higher than in many southern states. Arkansas still has a poll tax, but no other stringent requirements to keep Negroes from voting. The Negro thus has become a political force, in both municipal and state elections. In the Little Rock area, "lawful opposition" to integration won out by less than 2,000 votes. There were 22,774 votes for a namendment directing legislative opposetion, 20,918 votes against. It is among these voters—more of whom voted on whether or not to prohibit horse and dog racing— that the integration tests will be made next month. Expressions of the man in the street are varied.

MEMPHIS WORLD Want Ad Information Call JA. 6-4030 I.P. Reynolds Laid To Rest I. P. Reynolds, widely known retired Atlanta postman and newspaper columnist, was interred at Lincoln Cemetery Saturday following a funeral at Big Bethel AME Church that saw him highly praised for his "glorification of Auburn Avenue." In his eulogy over the remains it the write of "What Sam of Auburn. Avenue Says" and "Deacon Jones," Dr. H. I. Bearden credited Reynolds' writings with "giving Auburn Avenue more recognition than anybody else of our time." Bearden said Reynolds "found people who wanted to be somebody, wrote them up in his columns and wished them well." Brief remarks by the following also attested. Reynolds constant touch with people and his glorification of them: Charlie Hawkins, the Rev. William Holmes Borders, who said the deceased "did a tremendous amount of good for a lot of people on many occasions"; the Rev. W, D. Hamm, Dr. S. H. Giles, Mr. Sullivan, co-worker; and Elder McDaniel, of the FBH Church. Use It Or Lose It BY LOUISE LYNOM So many of us have different reasons for not growing in grace choice of church, choice of pastor. Choice of church and pastor should be a minor matter. We think in terms of our relatives being a member of the same church we are But, we should be thankful into God whatever church they are members of, or whoever the pastor might be. We should be happy over our relatives growing in grace. The Wages of Sin is Death and the Gift of God is Eternal Life. God wants us to become mature Christian, having a reason for growling. For so many reasons. He has given us the Bible which is a divine revelation of truth we could never have discovered by ourselves. A Dominating mother stands between her son and the church. Through a series incidents the mother's selfish position is exposed and the entire family ties learn that true Christians love must reach beyond family ties and bring happiness into lives of others.

One evening he told his father that he could not believe in the Holy Spirit because he could not see Him. Next day his father, an electrician, took him to the plant, showing Jim the generators, he said "This is where the power, comes from to heat our stove and give us light. We cannot see the power, but it is in that machine and in the power lines." "Oh I believe in electricity," Jim cut in. "I know you do", his father agreed, but you do not believe in it because you can see it, but because you can see what it can do. Likewise you can believe in the Holy Spirit as result of seeing what He does in people's lives when they are surrendered to Christ and possess His power." Many thousands today do not recognize the working of the Holy Spirit despite Jesus promise the work that he would come to dwell with us, to teach and direct us and to reveal to us the things of God.

We cannot see the power, but it is in that machine and in the power lines." "Oh I believe in electricity," Jim cut in. "I know you do", his father agreed, but you do not believe in it because you can see it, but because you can see what it can do. Likewise you can believe in the Holy Spirit as result of seeing what He does in people's lives when they are surrendered to Christ and possess His power." Many thousands today do not recognize the working of the Holy Spirit despite Jesus promise the work that he would come to dwell with us, to teach and direct us and to reveal to us the things of God. In all thy ways acknowledge him and He shall direct thy paths. Let us live that others may grow in grace. Don't Forget To Use I And Not Lose It.

Finley, it was concluded that Negro students finished high school approximately four years below the achievement level of the average white pupils. He also pointed out that there were more white than Negro children with superior achievement on all tests of all levels. Negro educators who took a look at the report on Monday and Tuesday indicated, (here should be no cause for alarm, but instead criticism of the kind of educational facilities, available to Negroes in a "segregated system." Professor G. L. Chandler, professor of English at Morehouse College observed: "The survey shows what segregation has done over the years and does not show that the Negro is intellectually interior." The educator further states; "The disparity between white and Negro students is not mental disparity, but rather a disparity of experiences and opportunities. "The student whose experiences and background are limited will make a poor showing, on the test." "There is not much difference between. Negro students and white students in the North. A Negro child with average intelligence in the north will show up about the same on a test as a white student. The difference between Negro and white students in Atlanta is empirics." he concluded. Dr. Rufus E. Clement, member of the Atlanta Board of Education said what the Board heard Monday night was only a summary of the full report which will be he would be interested in giving released later. Dr. Clement said the findings in the report some serious study when it is released in complete form in, about ten days. Dean A. A. McPheeters at Clark College said: "We must be willing to study the type of experiences and conditions under which these tests were given to both students and teachers." The educator said the findings in the test were not surprising to him, however, he was a little amazed at the disparity between the two groups, white and Negro. "We must also take into consideration the problem of pupil enrollment, the double session methods and the kind of facilities offered Negroes as against that of whites. Any national test would reveal the same thing," he added. Although, there are some differences in subjects, teaching methods and facilities, some educators have observed, Dean McPheeters said the general program in the Atlanta system is about the same. A more intensive analysis of the findings to be continued in the complete report. "This whole survey does suggest," Dean McPheeters added, "an approach for the future in bringing the level up to the point where it should be." He indicated that the Negro pupils are victims, not only of larger enrollment problems, double sessions, but the overall problem of education generally which retards the South as a region. He also mentioned that many families, aware of poor facilities, enroll their children in the prep schools of the North. Another factor was that, many of the more ambitious and alert Negroes leave the South at an early age.

GENERAL EDUCATION BOARD ANNOUNCES $310,000 GRANTS The General Education Board announced Tuesday grants totaling $310,000 for projects related to earlier interests of the Board in the second quarter of 1957, although the active program of the Board ended in 1953. The Phelps-Stokes Fund project designed to improve the quality of high school teaching in colored teachers colleges in the South, will be partially financed during the next two year's by a new grant of $195,000. The General Education Board his supported this program since 1953. The Phelps-Stokes Fund conducts it in cooperation with 16 colored teachers colleges. The faculties of the 16 colleges in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and North Carolina work with a corresponding number of high schools in an effort to raise the level of classroom instruction, particularly in the sciences, mathematics, languages and social, studies. College staff members visit the schools regularly to observe the work being done and to plan, with the high school faculty, new ways to improve instruction. Conferences are held with the project staff and consultants and tests to measure student progress are prepared. An important part of the program has been a series of summer workshops for high school teachers. Three of these have been held since 1955, and more are planned for the next few years. A grant of $40,000 by the General Education Board will make possible during the next two years the establishment of an experimental program concerned with the identification of colored people with particular qualifications for service in American industry and overseas and their placement in suitable postitions.
