Vets Censure U.S.S.R
The
American Veterans Committee
AVC Thursday condemned the
Soviet Union for resuming nuclear
testing which is spreading fallout
in the atmosphere.
The executive committee of the
AVC said: "At a time when the
world is beset with new tensions
largely due to the unilateral actions 
of the Soviet Union, this test
resumption is continued unhappy
evidence of the agressive nature
of the Soviet Union."

Clare Booth Luce Supports
Federal Subsidies For Arts
Clare Boothe
Luce has urged President Kennedy 
to "move the Congress" towards 
passage of legislation providing 
Federal subsidies for the arts.
"Mrs. Luce, writing in the current 
(October) Issue of McCall's
magazine, notes that "our government 
does less toward the support 
of art and culture than any
civilized nation. In fact, almost
nothing."
She contends that since the Soviet 
Union spends a good deal on
cultural programs, U. S. support of
art and culture is also necessary in
the struggle "to gain ascendancy
over the minds of men."
Mrs. Luce specifically supports
Sen. Jacob Javits' (R.-N. Y.) bill
cutting for establishment of a U.
S. Art Foundation supported by
federal subsidies for music, dance,
theater, poetry and opera. The bill
was first introduced by Javits in
1959, she points out, but has never
even managed to get out of com
mittee. 

She notes, too, that in 1958 Congress 
appropriated ten acres of
land in Washington, on the Potomac 
near the Lincoln Memorial,
for a National Cultural Center. The
design calls for a multipurpose
structure, to be used as opera house,
concert hall, theater, auditorium
and exhibition hall.
"But the money for erecting the
center was supposed to be privately 
raised within the next five
years," Mrs. Luce writes. "I venture
to guess that without some government 
help this magnificent project 
will not materialize.
Noting that President Kennedy
is generally regarded as "an intellectual 
and a man of culture,"
she expresses hope that he will try
to convince Congress to back the
Javits' bill and the cultural center, 
"or otherwise find a modus
operandi for helping realize America's 
tremendous cultural potential".

Collegians Borrowing
Money Plan To Teach
Preliminary
results of a survey by the U. S. Office 
of Education Indicate that
three out of every five college students 
who have borrowed money
under the National Defense Education 
Act of 1958 are planning to
teach, thus fulfilling one of the
major goals set by Congress in
passing the Act, Secretary Abraham
Ribicoff said this week. In contrast,
among college students generally,
only about one in four actually enter 
teaching.
Congress set up the Student Loan

provisions of the Act to encourage
college students to teach in public
elementary and secondary schools
after graduation. To bring this
about, the Act provides that 10 percent 
of each loan is forgiven for
each year — up to a total of five —
spent teaching. This means that
the recipient can have halt his
loan cancelled in return for teaching 
five or more years.
Congress now is considering a two
year renewal of the National Defense 
Education Act, which, otherwise, 
would go out of existence at
the end of the current fiscal year,
on June 30, 1962.

Co. executive said Friday.
Vice President James O. Wright,
made his estimate before the annual
marketing meeting of the National
Industrial Conference Board.
A 6.6 million car year in 1962
would be 10 per cent improvement
over 1961, Wright said.

Implementation Of Equal Job
Opportunity Program Pledged
A reasonable and fair approach to
implementation of the equal employment opportunity program
was pledged Friday morning by the executive vice chairman of
the President's Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity.
Assistant Secretary of Labor Jerry 
R. Holleman told a Federal Bar
Association briefing conference on
government contracts that "we will
be patient with contractors who
show a sincere desire and intention 
to comply with the program,
put less patient with those who
obviously are trying to avoid compliance." 

John G. Feild, executive director,
and Hobart Taylor, Jr., special
counsel also discussed the equal

employment opportunity program
as members of the three -man
panel at the conference, co-sponsored 
by the Bureau of National
Affairs, in the Shoreham Hotel.
Mr. Feild emphasized that the
Committee is not interested in the
"numbers game — that is, specify
ing that a contractor must employ
this many or that many of a minority 
group."
"We are not in the business of
getting jobs for Negroes or any
other minority group," he explained. 
"We are interested in merit employment 
— equal employment opportunity 
without regard to race
creed, color or national origin. We
insist that all workers be treated
alike in personnel and employment
practices, selection procedures, evaluations, 
assignments, and, upgrading. 
All qualified workers must
receive the same consideration; the
tame opportunity the same treatment." 

In reply to a question about the
program's possible conflict with
state laws, Mr. Taylor declared the
Committee was "not seeking to
preempt the feld of equal employment 
law."
"This does not mean, however,
that we are going along with 'local 
custom' for 'local custom' is not
law," he explained. "We Insist
that factors other than ability to
do a job not be exercised to limit
a person's employemnt opportunity."

Freedmen's To
Get Sum From
JFK Request
The
sum of $300,000 was included In the
Presidential request to Congress
Monday for the purpose of initiating 
plans for the much-needed replacement 
and modernization of
Freedmen's Hospital.
Freedmen's Hospital was established 
by the Federal Government
at the close of the Civil War to
care for sick and destitute Negroes
who came to Washington in great
numbers. The present main building 
was constructed in 1908 on land
belonging to Howard University. A
bill authorizing the transfer of the
hospital to Howard University has
been approved by Congress and is
now awaiting approval by the President. 

Legislation now in the hands of
President Kennedy makes no mention 
of where the hospital is to be
built and provided Federal financing 
only for its construction.
Dr. Frank R. Jones, medical director 
of the hospital, has said that
he favors the present site or Griffith 
Stadium as the location of the
new 500-bed facility. A final game
at Griffith was scheduled by the
Washington Senator for Thursday.

Race, Color Not
To Have Part In
British Control
Despite the
results of a poll on the question
the British Government has decided 
that, if and when it acts to control 
immigration, the question of
race or color will not lie considered
in any legislation placed before
Parliament.
Mr. Butler, the Home Secretary,
made this point clear in a letter
to Toby Jessel, prospective Conservative 
Parliamentary candidate
for Packham, after studying a subHe 
opinion poll conducted by Mr.
Jessel and other members of the
Peckham Conservative Association.
Borne 837 of a total of 1,000 queried 
in the constituency wanted a
halt to immigration. This analysis 
was sent to the Home Secretary. 

In the poll 837 said: "Yes to
the question" Do you think that
the Government should place any
further control on immigration?"
seventy were "doubtful" and 63

said "No."
No mention was made of color
in the question, but many of those
interviewed complained at length.

Supreme Court
Asked To Ban Va.
Anti-NAACP Law
The United
States Supreme Court has been asked 
to strike down a Virginia statute
which would bar the National Association 
for the Advancement of
Colored People from sponsoring law
ts designed to secure constitutional 
rights for Negro citizens.
I na petition filed with the court
here today (Monday, Sept. 25) by
NAACP General Counsel Robert L.
Carter, his assistant, Mrs. Maria
Marcus, both of New York City, and
Frank D. Reeves of Washington,
the Association asks the Court to
set the Virginia statute aside as an
unconstitutional abridgement of the
"due process" and "equal protection 
of the laws" clauses of the
Fourteenth Amendment.
The challenged law, passed in
1956 by the General Assembly of
Virginia as part of the state's "massive 
resistance" program, would bar
the NAACP and its local and state
units from underwriting the costs
and providing counsel in litigation
instituted to test the validity of
state-imposed racial discrimination.
Such activity, the statute holds, constitutes 
'unlawful fomenting and
solicitation of legal business" and
makes lawyers participating in such
cases guilty of malpractice and unprofessional 
conduct.
The NAACP filed suit in both the
state and federal courts seeking
an injunction restraining the state
from enforcing the statute on the
grounds that it violates the Fourteenth 
Amendment and abrogates
the constitutionally-secured rights
of all persons in the United States
to free access to the courts."
The basic aim of the NAACP, the
brief points out, "is to remove all
racial barriers to first-class citizenship 
for Negro Americans." In the
South, where the Negro has been
politically weak because of disfranchisement, 
the NAACP petition
asserts, "the most efficacious
method to undermine the barriers
to racial equality (is) to strike at
their support in the fundamental
law.
"Illegalities and unconstitutionalities 
such as racial discrimination
may exist with completely impunity

until their legaility is put in issue
in litigation designed to test their
validity."
The Virginia legislation, the N. A.
A. C. P. contends, "denies equal protection 
of the laws, threatens to destroy 
(the Association's) effectiveness, 
denies rights of freedom of
association to its members and
violates constitutional guarantees of
free access to the courts."

Advances Noted In
New York Banks
Joseph N. Mayer and Ernest L.
Brooks, prominent Negro bank officials, 
have been named manager
and assistant manager, respectively,
of the 2218 Fifth Avenue office of
the Chase Manhattan Branch.
The office, now under construction 
at 135th Street and Fifth Avenue, 
is schedule to open in November. 
It will be the first commercial
bank established in Harlem in a
quarter of a century.
Mayer joined the bank in 1928
and worked in the bank's collection,
note teller, savings and analysis
departments and later was assigned
to the branch auditing department
at the head office. He also served
in the business development department 
and in the credit section of
the brokerage division.
Brooks, a native of Plymouth, N.
C. joined the Chase Manhattan
Bank in 1955 as a unit teller in the

Atlanta Actor
Quits Racial
Play In Paris
A former Atlanta Negro, 
now a musician and actor, quit
a French play based on racial
problems in the United States recently 
because the director insisted
that he play an "Uncle tom" le.
Hermann Gantt, graduate of
Atlanta's Booker T. Washington,
had been assigned a leading part in
the Marcel Aymie drama "Louisiane," 
also starring French actress 
Magall Noel and Marpessa
Dawn, the Brazilian temptress of
"Black Orpheus."
Mr. Gantt told the press, "the
director's interpretation was an
insult to my race and my country." 

He said he accepted the role of
a young Southern American Negro
law student because "I assumed it
was a role of dignity and credit
to a man of my race."
"When I commenced work on
the part, I discovered it was being
treated quite the contrary by director 
Andre Villiers," he said.
Mr. Gantt said Mr. Villiers insisted 
he play the part in an
"Uncle Tom" manner, 'a yassahboss' 
caricature that is a Frenchman's 
stereotype of the American
Negro.'
Mr. Gantt, who in the play is
killed by whites when he tries to
marry a white girl in Atlanta, said
the director grossly misrepresented
the situation.
"I was reared in Atlanta and I
have never had an ounce of
trouble," the actor-singer said.
Director Villers, interviewed at a
rehearsal, said:
"Gantt's real reason for quitting
is that he is not a real actor. He
has already been replaced and the
production will open as scheduled
. . ."
Mr. Gantt, who now makes New
York City his home, studied for
four yean at Boston's New England 
Conservatory of Music. As a
singer, he has appeared on American 
television, including the Ed
Sullivan sow.

Native Son
To damn the good earth Pilgrim
Fathers, won.
None in the Land can say
To us black men Today:
You dupe the poor, with rags-toriches 
tales.
And leave the workers empty dinner 
pails.
You stuff the ballot box and honest 
men
Are muzzled by your" demogogic
din.
None in the Land can say
To us black men Today:
You smash stock markets with
your coined blitzkriegs,
And make a hundred million
guinea pigs.
You counterfeit our Christianity,
And bring contempt upon Democracy. 

None in the Land can say
To us black men Today:
You prowl when citizens are fast
asleep,
And hatch fifth column plots to
blast the deep
Foundatons of the State and leave
the Land
A vast Sahara with a Fascist brand.
Out of abysses of illiteracy,
Through labyrinths of Lies,
Across waste lands of Disease ...
We advance!
Out of dead-ends of poverty,
Through wildernesses of superstition,
Across 
barricades of Jim Crowism
. . .
We advance!
With the peoples of the World ...
We advance!
The great biologist said: "The semen 
of change
Crawls upward from the simple to
the complex,
Through animal and plant, hi
kingdoms strange,
Whimmed by drama of milieu and
sex."
The great geologist said "Nature
disdains
Your gradualism Islands retch
and split,
Valleys swell up and mountains
eddy to plains,
Cinder worlds vanish like comics
in a skit."
The great economist said: "The

species Man
Has spells of calm, too, spasms of
devilment.
The fat years lull his nature for
a span;
The lean years then midwife a
malcontent."
The great historian said: "I want
to know
Who knows' when changes are too
fast or too slow."

A PRIMER FOR TODAY
Melvin B. Tolson established his reputation as a significant
voice in contemporary American poetry when his long poem "Dark
Symphony" won the National Poetry Contest conducted in connection 
with the American Negro Exposition in Chicago. The poem
has been set to music by Earl Robinson.
Mr. Tolson proved himself to be a poet of drive find vigor,
with a simplicity that is at once appealing and stirring.

30,000 Veterans
Treated For Cancer
Veterans stricken by cancer are
being treated in Veterans Administration 
hospitals at the rate of some
30,000 per year.
Somewhat more than half are
new cases of the disease. In about
40 percent of these, the cancer has
been discovered at an early stage,
while it is still localized and cure is
likely.
The lungs are by far the most frequent 
location of cancers among
newly diagnosed VA patients, the
skin is second, and the prestate
gland is third.
These are a few of the cancer
facts just becoming available from
the VA Central Cancer Registry,
which is the first nationwide Registration 
of cancer patients designed
to obtain epidemiologloal and survivorship 
information over a period
of at least five years.
Eventually, the registry will show
the results of different kinds of
treatment and thus will be of much
value in selection of the most mising 
treatments for wider use
and further development.

ALLERGIC TO BOYS
Jane
Reeve, has a rare disease — or at
least it would be a serious one for
most girls. She is allergic to boys.
Jane had finished her studies
at her present school and was
transferred to a coed high school to
finish her education.
She would become nervous every
time she got around boys and as
a result would break out in a rash.
Authorities finally agreed that
in view of her health, she should
be allowed to attend an all-girl
school.
The student council would get
hall monitors? Ronald Peterson
could be no (1) with a certain person? 
All "D'"Ts could be Ole Timers 
queen. There were no rules

at Manassas? The Crown's didn't
exist? Sammie Bruce couldnt plays
football? Robert Wms. wasn't so
crazy in a certain class? The seniors 
were juniors and Juniors were
seniors? The twins, Earnestine and
Emma tripled? Earline and Jerline 
could find "twin boyfriends?"
Juanita Branch wasn't so cute?
Evertina and Winston would
break up? Helen Coleman could
march? Gwen Johnson wasn't a
columnist.
