Memphis World Memphis World Publishing Co. 1963-10-12 J. A. Beauchamp Selassie Fields Touchy Queries At Conference Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia thinks Louisiana Sen. Allen J. Elleader "obviously is not aware that Ethiopia has administered herself for thousands of years" and has done that quite well. The "Lion of Judah" gave this opinion during a press conference held Thursday in the auditorium of the State Department, as he wound up a three-day visit here as the guest of President Kennedy. But before sizing up the racehalting legislator, the Emperor told the reporter who asked him why Ethiopia refused to permit Ellender to enter his country last fall: "I think perhaps you know more about the answer to that question than I do." After a moment's reflection, the Emperor suggested that the reporter could make up his own mind about the situation, In any event, Ellender "was not a good example for finer African states," he said. Speaking in Amharic through an interpreter, Selassie successfully field several touchy questions. Asked about Ethiopia's dispute with neighboring Somalia, which involves a million tribesmen and a section of Ethiopia known as the Ogaden, the Emperor said he was confident that all difficulties would be settled. However, he indicated dissatis faction with President Kennedy's explanation of the reasons why the United States is favoring Somalia by giving her military aid. The position of the United States is that the assistance is intended to veer the Somalans away from the Soviet bloc in their search for arms. This explanation left the Emperor cold. "It did not impress us very much," he said. He added that the Somali Prime Minister, Adbirashid Ali Shermarke was leading a military mission to Peking. Asked if tribalism still continued to block progress toward unity in East Africa, Selassie said that tribalism, "If it exists," should not serve as a serious impediment. In response to other questions, he said: While Ethiopia is a constitutional monarchy, she is progressing toward democracy for all her people. Ethiopia has contributed its share to United Nations operations in the Congo. It was not always wise for an army to remain in another's homeland, but any withdrawal should be "compatible" with UN objectives. Women in Ethiopia are participating more fully in the government and other walks of life. They have the privilege of standing for election in parliament.

A youngster got up Monday morning, dressed quickly, ate a skimpy breakfast, and rushed off to school. He felt hungry before he turned the comer, but there was a smile on his round face. At the mid-morning recess he would have milk and cookies, and at noon he would have a full lunch. This little drama is a common occurrence, say school lunch officials. While most youngsters get a full breakfast, may leave home hungry and took toward the school lunch u the belt part Of school. This year neatly 16 million children in 68,000 schools across the country will eat well-balanced noon meals under the 17-year-old National School Lunch Program, says the U. S. Department of Agriculture. In recognition of the importance Of the program in helping to safeguard the health and well-being of children and in expanding markets for America's abundant farm production, President John F. Kennedy has designated October 13-19 as National School Lunch Week. The school lunch program is administered at the national level by USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service which also establishes the high nutritional standards, maintained toy every school receiving lunch assitance. State educational ageneies are responsible for administering the program in the States, while direct management of the lunchrooms is assumed by the local school systems. USDA points out that the program is operated on a nonprofit basis; lunches are served free or at reduced prices to children who cannot pay the full price, and lunches are planned to include protein-rich food, fruits or vegetables, bread, butter or margarine and milk. Financial support for the program comes from State and local communities which provide about three-fourths of the $1,244,000,000 that is now required annually. The Federal Government last year provided $109 million in cash assistancc and about $175 million in donated foods. The rest of the foodmore than $600 million worth — is purchased locally. In addition to the school lunch program, there is a special milk program designed to encourage children to drink extra milk other than that served with the school lunch. Last year youngsters drank 2,600,000 half-pints under this program. This milk plus that served with lunches account for more than five percent of all fluid milk moving from dairy farms to U.

Dr. Banda Gets Brandeis Degree, Sets Brief Tour Prime Minister Kamuzu (Hastings) Banda of Nyasaland arrived in the United States Sunday, Oct. 5, for a private visit. His itinerary included a trip to Brandeis University, Waltham, Mass., on Oct. 6, where he was to receive an honorary degree; to Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass., on Oct. 7; and to Washington on Oct. 8. In Washington, the Prime Minister was scheduled to be guest of honor at a luncheon sponsored by the American council of Education. He also was scheduled to hold consultations in the State Department and meet with officials of the International Monetary Fund (World Bank). While details were not available, it was known that Mr. Banda would visit Chicago to attend a University of Chicago alumni dinner. Meanwhile, the Agency for International Development announced, the award of a $58,000 contract to the American Council on Education for a study of Nyasaland's trained manpower needs. The study, expected to be completed by early 1964, is a joint American-British effort, and will constitute a planning guide for "human resources required for the country's economic and social development for the next 15 years." N. C. Mutual Starts Slip-Form Building Durham, N. C. — On Friday, October 4, the backbone of North Carolina Mutual's new home office office building at 411 West Chapel Hill Street started. It will rise by the method known as Slip-Form construction. Through tis process by the backbone of the building will inch upward hour by hour day and night any stop in work until the scheduled height is reached. Shifts will run around the clock with 15 men working on each shift, using 32 electrically operated Jacks. This will create a "monolithic" center for the entire building, made of one continuous piece of concrete. The center core will eventually house the building's elevator shafts, the washrooms, utility romo and conveyer shaft. When architests and engineers in Atlanta and New York City heard the "core" of North Carolina Mutual's new home office building would be "slip-formed," they sought an opportunity to observe this unique, efficient, practical and highly economical operation.

McNamara Thinks Military Should Work With Communities On Racism While the Defense Department wants a complete "inventory" of racial discrimination near military bases, it has no plan to utilize people in uniform for "social reform." Secretary of Defense Robert. S. McNamara made this, clear to a Senate Armed Services Committee which was considering a $1.6 billion military construction bill passed ay the House. The House slashed $40 million From $740 million requested by the military for much-needed housing for personnel. McNamara said he had been "personally shocked to learn" of the kind and condition of quarters that some military families have been forced to live in. He pointed out that more than 49,000 military families had no choice but to remain separated during 1962 because of a lack of suitable housing. Sen. Strom Thurmond (D.- S. C.) a pro-segregationist, brought up the quqestion of integration. He said the Pentagon had ordered commanders to force desegregation. "You want to be careful of this," Thurmond said, "Instead of increaseing combat effectiveness, you are going to decrease it." The Senator suggested that racial sentiment in the United States was changing. "I think we should work with the community involved." McNamara responded, adding that there was "no plan to utilize military personnel as a method of social reform." The Defense chief told Thurmond that military commanders have a duty and a responsibility to maintain a constant state of combat readiness and effectiveness. Thurmond was referring to a recent Defense Department directive ordering an exhaustive "inventory" of any racial discrimination in housing, public accommodations, transportation, and education, and other phases of life near military bases. The Defense Department ordered what it called an "off-base equal opportunity inventory" in a message sent to the field on Sept. 24. Each base command was given a three-page inventory covering 17 separate major questions, to be filled put and returned not later than Nov. 8. In general, the questions deal with community attitudes toward servicemen In regard to local police and the use of recreational and other facilities, including lunch counters, hotels, and motels and libraries. As an example, one of the questions seeks the following information: "Briefly describe any local customs or laws which prevent or are enforced in a manner which discourage voluntary off-base association by white and Negro military personnel and their dependents when traveling in private automobiles, using public sidewalks or visiting each other's residences."

Sunday School Lesson In studying our Scriptures for today, we address ourselves to the question: How do Paul's ideas that both the individual and the religious community should be considered as temples of God apply to moral conduct today? Last week saw that ancient Corinth was an unclean city. But in the midst of it the Christians were called to live pure lives. Whether twenty centuries ago, or today, the rule for the followers of Christ is: "Christians, Be Pure!" Like the Corinthian Christians, we live In a dirty world, Filty dialogue is heard on the stage. In spite of regulations, so-called comedians on television frequently overstep the bounds of decency. Sex and crime magazines arc devoured by high school students. The sordid lives of movie idols are reported as apparently the normal way of life. The "party boy" mood competes with scholarship on college campuses. Politics are described as "dirty" and they often live up to the reputation. Advertising is often slanted toward the vulgar. It is easy to be accused of puritanical meddling in pointing out that moral impurity, or sinful living in any form, results in physical injury. But Paul did not hesitate to tell the Corinthian Christians that they could not disregard the sanctity of their bodies Paul was sure that the body must be kept clean, as the "temple of the Holy Spirit" (1 Corinthians 6:19). We are reminded that Jesus warned especially against the sins of the spirit. And it is true that attitudes of resentment, hate, hostility, unforgiveness and selfish ambition, destroy both personal integrity and the social order. Make no mistake about that. The older evangelists may have unduly accented the evils of drunkenness, adultery, and the coarser forms of wickedness. But we must not, in giving attention to the subtle sinful inner attitudes ignore the persistent threat of the more obvious dangers. It is not too much to say that a human body informed with a Christian life has a better chance of being healthy than if it houses a sinful self. Paul is right: "The body is not meant for immorality, but for the Lord" (1. Corinthians 6:13b). Should we now face some brutally frank truths about the current impurity in modern living? Some things seem frightfully old-fashioned, but they have a way of returning to remind us that we live in a world established in righteousness — a world which will not, in the long run, support actions or attitudes of uncleaness. Even if we did not have a Bible or the growing sanctions of a Christian conscience, some things are evident in human life: Loose or irresponsible sex living breeds disease. Venereal disease is not a nice word, Nor is it a nice thing. The fact that it may be controlled by the use of powerful drugs apparently has led to a new era of carelessness. This disease against personal life clearly does not arise apart from sin. It is as if God has written Indelibly into the structure of human life the certain truth that we can't disregard he sanctity of the human power of reproduction and get away with it. To date there has not been found any near equivalent for assuring stability in society to the mutual exclusive love of one man for one woman. Anything less falls short of the ideal for the home life of a Christian culture. Alcohol is an enmy of healthy living. Alcohol is a killer. It destroys the body, the mind, human respectability, decency, and everything else which contribute to a wholesome society. It is possible that we are being anesthetized by the current slogan that alcoholism is a disease.? Of course, medically speaking, when the unfortunate vietim of drink reaches the pathetic stage of helplessness designated by the term "alcoholism", it is a disease; and It must be treated with all the skill of medical science. But again like venereal disease, alcoholism is a disease of sin. Alcohol slows up the reaction time of the human body — and thus makes the drinker a menace in the operation of powerful machinery. It weakens his powers of moral Judgement. It deadens his sense of decency. And eventually it destroys human personality until it is next to impossible to recreate a stable person. How badly are the concepts of Christian living needed here! Paul never understood the Christian life t obe the function of otherworldly, disembodied spirits. It was to be lived out within the roughand tumble struggle of a dirty world. And anything which impairs the physical strength of the Christian to that extent weakens the witness for God. Disciplined living is the Christian way. Indulgence is the mark of the uncommitted life. CHRISTIANS, BE PURE!

Tan Topics "HE LOVED ME WITH ABANDON — IN FACT, I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM SINCE!" Teens Increase Demand For Key Community Role An increasing demand on the part of its teenage membership, both in the United States and around the world, for new opportunities to play a role in community affairs is reported by the Young Women's Christian Association of the U. S. A. in the 1962963 annual report Just released. Entitled "The Hopeful GeneraJon," the report from the National Board gives special attention to interracial summer conferences, indueling those in the south attended in 1962 by more than 500 persons, as well as other aspects of the YW CA's program with youth, including community service projects. Staffed not only by YWCA professional workers but also by social scientists and sociologists made available through support of the Field Foundation, young leaders looked together at their communities during the summer conferences. "The fact that democracy is everybody's business seemed to ring clear, as did the conviction that youth in their teens are not too young to know the facts, that once they know, they want to do something to make life better for everyone," was a comment of the National Board's consultant on teenage program. Interracial living had the effect of making the girls more aware of how alike Americans are, whatever the shade of their skin. One consultant, quoted in the annual report, said, "I think of the adult leaders and some of the anxieties which they face in assuming roles in their conference. I can't, help but wonder whether they would have been free of many of these anxieties if, as teenagers, they had had opportunity for significant interracial group experiences such as this." Teenage comments also are recorded. A white Y-Teen said. "Before I came I did not, think we had problems in Our town, but now I realize that we do, and when I go home, I will tell the people about them..." A Negro YTeen commented, "I never had a chance before to work, play and learn with persons of another race. Now I have learned the meaning of friendship." As in the United States, young people elsewhere in the world were increasing their community service projects. Exciting Looking Skin Can be Yours... You've seen it on TV and in magazines!
