New War Brewing In Palestine The danger of a new war in Palestine as a result of the death of King. Abdullah of Jordon, is by no means short range. It's not a mere question of the removal of a strong man who had been keeping the peace by restraining the hotheaded Arabs from attacking Israel out of religious fanaticism, or questions of prestige. There exist serious causes for economic rivalry be-, tween Israel and the Arabs countries which could cause either side to attack the other. And unfortunately, Jordon, whose strong army Abdullah had withheld from the Arab league since the beginning of the precarious truce in Palestine, is right in the middle of these rivalries. The main issue, is what is always the main bone of contention in arid lands — water rights. Just as cattle men, sheepherders and homesteaders fought small wars over water rights in our western frontier, lands, and just as many wars in history have been fought, over water rights, so the vital issue that threatens to keep hatreds alive in Palestine is the waters of the Jordon River. fabled in Biblical lore. The oil of the middle east is the prize for which Western states jockey, but to the people who live-in Palestine, water is far more precious than oil. That's because, most of Palestine and of adjacent Syria is desert. However, much of the soil of Syria, of Jordon—which is geographically part of Palestine—and of Israel can be reclaimed by irrigation. In this reclamation, the waters of the Jordon river and of several rivers which feed it from Syria and from Jordon is vital. Most engineers think that if the countries would cooperate, a fair and equitable division of the waters could be I had that would add hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land and raise the living standards of both the Israeli I and their Arab neighbors. So these two country's troubles spring from the same roadblock to peace all countries seem to suffer for lack of co-operation. MART OF THOUGHT What would you do if someone walked into your house and very tearfully asked you to call the pclice because he was a murderer? Well that was my experience last Friday evening. I did tint go directly home from the office but ran a few errands downtown and a friend drove me out later, arriving home about 7 o'clock. Two doors down the road from home we passed a car, a blue-a faded blue convertible which had stopped in the middle of the road apparently out of gas. However, we managed to get by and into our driveway. It was not yet twilight and we could see there was no one in the car. We went into the house, my friend and I, ate dinner and settled down to watch the news on television with my family, my mother, father, kid sister and a Voting mar who lives next door. Inasmuch as there are six houses built very close together and someone is usually sit ting in the yard, we do not always hook the screen. Then too, the outside light burns most of the time in the early evening So intent were we on the newscast that when the man walked upon the stoop and rang the chimes, may father said "come in" without looking, around. He had heard the footsteps of course but like the rest of us he thought it was one of the neighborhood children who are frequent visitors because they like to watch TV. When we did look around the man was just standing there, weeping. This astonished us to see a stranger standing there crying. I said "good evenin." He asked if we had a telephone. Upon being told that we did, he asked that someone call the police because he was tired of dodging he had run out of gas, he was hungry and that he was a murderer I asked whom he had killed and when he said, "a girl and some more" my knees went limp. Fortunately the couch was behind me. I was told later that an indescribable expression passed over my face. My mind was traveling; like lightening fast back to all of the gruesome stories I had read as I watched the pathetic creature standing there with both hands in his pockets and blood dripping from a nasty cut above his left eyebrow. He was shout forty-five I suppose, medium height and build; wearing brown trousers and a white and brown sweater. He was bareheaded. Slowly shaking his head he expressed a desire to see his mother before surrendering but it was too late and he was so hungry My mother, bless her heart, felt so sorry for him and said that she would feed him. My father said to her that she would become accessory after the fact if she fed a criminal. Since the man had been drinking and still carried a bottle sticking out of a pocket we could not tell whether he was sincere about the murder or not. I was reluctant to call the polite because I have read so much about their brutality recently that I hesitated to have them come out merely because a man was drunk I was not sure whether he was bobbing and weaving from remorse of liquor. I certainly did not want to see him beat up. Mother put his food on a paper plate and told him to sit in the car and cat while he waited for the police I remembered reading about girl who was slain on Chelsea and was afraid to have the man loose in the neighborhood so I called the sheriffs office and told the whole story as he had told it to me, while my cousin Jumped in his car and went down the road to where the car was standing in the road Shortly thereafter my friend and I grove down but the man had gone and when we were almost at the highway which is about a block away we saw him run off the road into the bushes. We kept going to the grocery at the highway and the man cams on down the road behind us. When he saw the car he came over to talk. I was afraid to roll the glass down but my friend who is a minister wanted to help the man so he got out and talked to him. He certainly seemed harmless enough but he had desperate eyes and I did not trust him because he kept his hands in his pockets. My friend sent the man into the store to get a bottle drink because he expected the police any moment and was afraid the man might run into the cornfield behind the store. He was hardly thru the door before the squad car arrived which was about ten minutes atter I called. It was going pretty fast towards my house but my friend flagged it down and the man was arrested in the grocery, with an open knife in his pocket. He made his confession, not etctly the same one he had made before though. However the deupty was glad to have him in custody. I was so shaken up that my friend drove up to Oakland and the Owen's picnic to give me a chance to get my mind off the harrowing experience. Before I reached home we could see the outside lights burning on Brown Sugar Hill. I left ours on all night and you can believe the screen will be hooked each night hereafter and that someone will go to the door before saying "come in" again even if we are sitting in the living room as we were then. Here's hoping that never happens to you. Whew! Straight and True From Ol' Kainiuck CABIN STILL OLD CABIN STILL KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY STITZEL- WELLER DISTILLERY, EST.

Dewitt Alcorn, pastor of one of our churches in Memphis, was attacked and beaten by police in the Greyhound Bus station at Memphis, Tenn. Rev. Alcorn claims that the officers called him a Communist, an informer, a member of the NAACP. The officers claimed they were arresting Rev. Alcorn for loitering and resisting arrest. The city judge dismissed the charges. Witnesses testified that officers kicked Rev. Alcorn as he was led from the police station Rev. Alcorn claims that they pushed him into the squad car and hit him several more times, beating him badly enough to be ordered to the hospital. Rev. Alcorn who pastors a small church is also a newspaper man and was distributing papers and magazines to add to the meager support he receives from the church. He is widely known and respected throughout the church. He is a spokesman and champion for Negro rights in a city where it is some times unsafe to defend the rights of Negroes. While Rev. Alcorn received support and unstinted help from fellow ministers, civic organizations and leading citizens of both races, he was advised by some of his friends that as a minister it might be more appropriate to curtail his activities as a news agent and representative in public places life rail and bus stations. Rev. Alcorn is a trained, experienced pastor and writer, and leader of our people. We regret that he was the victim of such police brutality. We hope that this attack on a preacher will help put an end to police brutality on other race victims who may not have the influence and courage to protect themselves. True prophets and disciples of Christ still run the risk of being beaten. FROM THE CHRISTIAN INDEX. OFFICIAL ORGAN. COLORED METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH The Rev.

Immediately following the returning of the indictments," the two men were ordered arrested and held under $5,000 bonds. The grand jury, that returned the bill of indictment, reportedly had five Negro members serving on it. The dynamiting of the home at 524 East Ave., N. E., was one of several taking place recently in the city. When asked for a comment on the action, Fulton County Solicitor General Paul Webb said, "The law had been broken," and that all law breakers would be prosecuted to the full extent of the law." Solicitor Webb added, "There is no place in America for anarchy. These Instances, unchecked, would lead to anarchy." He stated that he got his lead to indictment against the two men from the Atlanta Journal, and personally took over the investigation. It took less than a week to uncover evidence leading to the indictments. The bill of indictment stated the two klansmen "did wilfully and maliciously attempt to destroy and did wilfully and maliciously injure the dwelling of Scott Brooks, Lillian Brooks, Glen Brooks and Ernestine Brooks, located at 524 East Avenue, N. E., by breaking and shattering four window glasses and the glass in the Tear door to said dwelling, with the use of an explosive substance unknown, setting it off at the rear of the house." Klein, in an interview with an Atlanta World reporter Thursday afternoon denied any knowledge of the cross burning in a field at University and Booker Aves., S. W. Testimonies were entered against the two klansmen by former klansmen. DENIED KNOWLEDGE OF CROSS BURNING dynamiting a house.

WASHINGTON "The contents of statistics differ from that of other mathematics in that the techniques used are adapted to the treatment of group values instead of individual values." Wert's Educational Statistics. Several recent articles have reminded me of something which is not at all really understood by many people. Still, practically everyone thinks that he does. This state ment does not excude the intelli gentsia either; for I have heard just as many misstatements on this score (ac cording to theie numbers, of course) from college presidents, deans and faculty members as I have from the man in the street. To introduce what I have in mind, I submit the following Schuyler wrote in "The Phantom American Negro": "Paradoxically, the average white American' is as misinformed as the average European, for he has been exposed to the same propaganda in books, migazines, newspapers and movies." In the READERS DIGEST, William Lydgate, Editor of the Gallop Poll wrote: "If you are statistically average your first child comes one year, after the wedding bells. The folowing children come two years apart until there are three, the average family in the United States.) In THIS WEEW magazine, John E. Gibson wrote in "Which Are Your Best Years?". "Studies, conducted at several universities show that the average person's mental abilities decrease with age. But evidence indicates that this is largely due to the fact that most people let their brains "get rusty" after they get out of school." Just what is an average? As I have already hinted, the average "Ph.D" is almost as misinformed on this term as is the ordinary man in the street. Just what an "average" is I cannot make completely clear in one article, but I do want to put you on the alert about a supposedly simple word, the meaning of which everyone thinks he knows, and yet, hardly one out of ten actually has the. correct concept of it. The dictionary defines it as: 1, a generally accepted, standard or rate; 2. something thought of as usual or of ordinary character, midway between too much and too little, too good and too bad, or the like; a number, amount, or the like, between extremes: Arith. a mean: the result obtained by dividing the total of several, quantities by the number of quantities." From these difinitions it is evident that an average is very likely an ideal sort of thing and may not have an actual existence in the flesh. For example, I once heard a lecturer say that the better class of people should have on the average (I think) 4.3 children. He added, morously, that a welt intentioned woman wrote him desiring to know how she could have that 0.3 of a child, quite naturally the audience rolled. Another interesting phase of this is found in the statement of the average sized man. Here one SAYS "average" but he actually, has in mind the "mode"; that is the size the greatest number of men have. Also, he may say average when actually he means midway between two extremes. Here, again he says "average," but he definitely has in mind what is known statistically as the "median." "Average must, or should, be quantitayely dependent upon the sizes of the individuals in the group, whereas the other two may not be. Again, what makes this situation so unfortunately is that everyone thinks that knows what "average" mean?; I repeat' that only one out of likely to really know. If I say that a auto's average speed is 60 miles per hour, I should show that this figure multiplied by the time is the distance traveled For Instance, a vehicle averaging 60 miles per hour must travel 180 miles in 3 hours. Again, if I say that the average percentage grade of my class is 62.5, I should mean this figure multiplied by the number of students in my class is the total of all percentage grades in this class. For example, when the average grade of a class of 20 is 62.5 the sum of all the percentage grades is 20 times 625 or 1250 From these two Illustrations it is evident that considerable loose is done on "average." "Why so much about this? In the first place the word should be understood for proper interpretation of conservations, debates and periodicals. Secendly, we should use the "average," the "median" or the "mode" in discussing groups of any kind. More specifically, no one individual bound or circumscribed completely by these measures; still his group is In particular what Ralph, Bu che has done means little in the true group sense; for he is only one or millions. Furthermore, it is out of the question for the masses of his group to approach his performance. Many, many things militate against that. In like manner it is equally unsound to say, "Now look at Jackie Robinson, Joe Lous, Marion Anderson, Walter White or any other individual" when you are discussing possibilities of their group. In statistics (indispensable in sociology) the group is considered and not the individual. Even though Booker Washington may have never taken a course in statistics, he nevertheless showed a definite grasp of statistical concept, for he wrote in his-MY LARGER EDUCATION: Especially are they (the Negro intellectuals of his day) ignorant in regard to the actual needs] of the masses of the colored people, the-South to-day."
