SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Year $5.00—6 Months $3.00—3 Months $1.50 (In Advance) A Logical Approach In attacking the issue of segregation in the District of Columbia, President Eisenhower, has pledged to recommend an increase I in the number of commissioners that govern the area. The Chief Executive wants "to broaden the representation of all elements of our population on the D. C. Commission." If by this frontal attack on racial bias in the district, the president can persuade Congress that segregation is illegal then it would be an important step. For the law-making body of the U. S. would be on record as viewing discrimination and segregation unconstitutional. If jimcrow is wrong in the district it would be sound advice that it is unlawful elsewhere. Action along this line could conceivably influence action towards the elimination of racial bias else/where. When the president proposes broadened representation it can be safely, understood to mean some Negro representation. The weight of mass public opinion thereby would be thrown against D. C. bias. If this is achieved the president would have fulfilled a significant campaign promise. It would be a logical step towards making Washington a more democratic and international city, and the real capital of the world. We commend the action towards broadening commission representation. Towards the overall goal of ending segregation this is a longer route and one requiring a job of education. But the end will undoubtedly justify the means. To us it is the logical approach. You can't Eat Taxes, But- You can't eat taxes. You can't wear taxes. But you must pay more for taxes than you do for food and clothing combined. In 1951, total federal, state and local taxes, direct and hidden, came to $84,600,000,000. In the Same year total food and clothing purchases added up to $81,000,000,000. We have reached the point where the tax burden is the largest single item of expense to millions of American families. Many of us haven't yet realized this for the reason that a substantial part of all taxes are paid indirectly — that is, they are part of the price we pay for an automobile or a loaf of bread or a I pair of shoes or a ticket to a show. But we pay the full bill just. the same — whether the money is handed over directly to some tax-collecting agency, or whether it is concealed in the cost of goods and services. It is generally believed that the danger point to a nation's strength and vigor is reached when taxes account for 25 per cent of the national income. Our taxes have left that figure far behind — about 33 per cent of the national income goes for taxes. And no one should be foolish enough to still believe that we can pay the tax bill by soaking the rich. If we took 100 per cent of the incomes of the rich it would pay the cost of government for only a few weeks out of the year. You — the average man and woman — pay the tax bill. You will be the gainers if and when the cost of government is cut. These who pay bills check totals more accurately than those who send them out.

REVIEWING THE NEWS By WILLIAM GORDON Managing; Editor, Atlanta Daily World, On Leave Opposition to Daniel F. Malan's dictatorial Nationalist government in the Union of South Africa has won the support it was seeking. The authority to further enslave, beat back and segregate helpless natives of an exploited continent is now more evident than ever before. The British-dominated United Party has decided to go along with Malan's proposal that the country is presently facing a crisis and that he must have unlimited powers to terminate controversy. The dominating influence of "white supremacy" is on the march again, even in a part of the world where We though things would eventually take a turn for the better. The only opposition to take the initiative and gall to oppose Malan's move was a member of the Labor Party, a tiny group relatively speaking. The member said. "If we want domination, we must take all that goes with it, and that is complete dictatorship for all of us. We cannot continue to be free European people. We cannot be free men ourselves if we want to enslave the rest of the population. Is democracy so vile, so worthless that we should throw it away because the Minister of Justice has difficulty with native agitators?" The fact is clear. No dictatorial authority or power given Malan will serve as a panacea for the situation in South Africa or any other place where ecenpmic denomination and "Jim Crow" are allowed to survive. Human society is not to be restricted or regimented in such a way as to be ruled by a few. If it is the continuous practice of "white supremacy" that they seek in South Africa, and there is plenty of evidence to bear this out, under the Malan doctrine, they, will have little difficulty obtaining this goal. It is evident that under such a proposal, they will continue to enslave the rest of the population rather than be free themselves. They will continue to turn the government into a dictatorship. They will continue to punish Negroes for such crimes as walking the wrong street, riding the wrong street cars and criticizing the laws that enslave them. The real question is, how long will this thing last and when will someone offer a practical solution? The alternative it seems is the elimination of "Jim Crow" and equal participation into the full stream of the country's economy, which already rightfully belongs to the natives.

The Veterans Corner Here are authoritative answers from the Veterans Administration to four questions of interest to former servicemen and their families: Q. As a World War II veteran, I bought a house with a GI loan. I had to sell it when I was called back into the armed forces after the Korean conflict began. Now that I have been discharged again, am I entitled to another GI loan to purchase another house?/ Q. I have a service-connected disability which has been rated zero per cent by the VA. My ailment is bothering me, and I think I might be entitled to compensation payments. How do I go about applying? Q. I'm planning to attend college under the Korean GI Bill. What happens if my entitlement runs out while I'm just part way through a school semester? Would I be allowed to continue? Q. May I train under the Korean GI Bill in a school outside the United States? Q. I'm planning to take a cooperative course in college under the Korean GI Bill. Port of the course consists of working at a Job in my chosen field. Will I get my monthly GI allowances for the periods when I'm working, or only for the time I spend in class? Q. My husband was killed in Korea, leaving me his indemnity. Must I pay taxes on the indemnity payment I receive? Q. My NSLI term insurance premiums have been waived because of my total and permanent, disability. Is it possible to convert the term policy to a permanent plan even though the premiums are under waiver? Q. I am a disabled veteran of World War II. If I meet all the eligibility requirements; could I enroll in a four-year law course under Public Law 16? A. No. The Public Law 16 training program for World War II veterans ends July 25, 1956. Under the law, you will be permitted to take only those courses that can be completed by that date—which is slightly more than three years away. Discrimination Proves Costly A Missouri Senate Committee has heard testimony that employment discrimination the state costs at least 112-million dollars a year. James A. Pawley of Kansas City said that's what Negroes would earn if permitted to work at their quailfied skill levels. And Pawley said welfare and law enforcement costs would be cut if Negroes had better employment opportunities. The senate committee is considering a bill to prohibit discrimination in employment and in union membership. Fireside Chats By Mayor Thornton I want to make an apology in front for what I'm about to say, I'll explain at the end of this colu/mn. I want to appeal to the Christian people and the heads of our government to let God take charge of this war. I'd suggest that we could send one-half as many Christian people across the waters as we have in the army to sing and pray and to show the people how to till the soil of their country. America is a religious country and if the different countries across the waters were as religious and as intelligent as the Americans we wouldn't have the trouble we are having. You are going to find out that you cannot be able to control ignorance with guns. Let God have his way, God can only speak to those people through Christians. If we send half as many Christian people, it will be love all over the world. It will not cost this country one half as much, financially, as the war costs... and no lives at all. As Christian people let us take this under consideration. I don't know how you are going about doing this but you could work to that end/. A big man is humble, and we are big hearted. We little fellow is always easy to become embarrassed, and that is the way it is with the country over there, they, are quick to take exceptions and as big as we are we can easily understand what it's all about. My explanation is, I know lots of people will say that I should have let some PHD make this statement... I waited... no one did... so I'm doing the best I can. No Election For Jamaica —Bustamne Governor Hugh Foot, and Chief Minister William Alexander Bustamente, both agreed last week that there should be no new election in Jamaica, prior to the appointment of the three additional ministers in the executive council of government. The colonial "office, London having agreed to grant Jamaica an advanced constitution in which the present five elected ministers in Executive Council be increased to eight. This will mean that the governor and his appointed officials will no longer out vote the elected ministers. There has been much agitation for an island-wide general election. The Opposition People's National Party led by Norman Manley has called for an election. It says the present government led by Bustament has failed the people in many respects. But Bustamente and the governor have argued strongly against a new election. The Jamaica Labour Party which Bustamente leads, says that elections cost money, and because theirs would be an Islandwide election in 1954, it was unnecessary to have one now. Manley and the PNP contend that the only way Bustamente could prove whether the country still had confidence in his JLP's leadership would be to go to the poll. "This outrage on Democracy and political propriety, is of course born of the union of the Labour party's fears and the Government's expediences," he declared. "The new constitution is full of flaws largely because of the stubborn determination of the governor to have his way on every small point; but it is a step forward and a big one." Manley said that he hoped by 1954, Jamaica will be ready to ask for self-government. The National Bureau of Standards, in Washington. D. C., maintains a unique brick 'graveyard.' Here, on a large plot, small sections of brick wall have been built over the past 15 years and subjected to freezing and thawing and all the conditions of the elements. In its research into the durability of various types of individual brick, the Bureau has also "planted" brick with only a few inches of the top exposed and the rest buried in the earth. Twenty samples each of forty to fifty brands of brick, man ufactured in the United States now repose in this 'graveyard' These brick are subjected to natural conditions of severe weathering, to supplement the results of laboratory experiments.

United Nations News In Rome recently Dr. W. R. Alkroyd of the UN Food and Agricultural Organization mentioned a meeting of the Joint FAO-WHO committee on Nutrition in Gambia, British West Africa. The meeting was associated with a conference organized by the Committee on Technical Cooperation in Africa, South of the Sahara. The conference was primarily concerned with malnutrition in African mothers, infants and children. Both meetings were a squel to earlier work of the Food anl Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization, in Africa on Kwashiorkor, a serious children's disease caused by protein deficiency. The Gambia meeting considered protein malnutrition in all its aspects, with particular attention to increasing the supplies of protein rich foods for mothers and children. Evidence was produced that protein malnutrition is found in most underdeveloped countries. UN reports indicate that there are five active political parties in Somaliland under Italian administration. They are the Somali Youth League, Hisbia Dighil and Mirifle, Legs Progressista Somala, Unione Africani Somalia and Unione Nazionale Somala: The Somali Youth League with a membership of 12,000 favors "rapid and radical chance, including the abolition of traditional institutions." The other four parties, remnants of the Conference Party, represent "a moderate progressive point of view whereby the autonomy and independence of the territory is sought together with a general replacement of traditional in situations. They have about 20,000 members. A 1951 visiting mission of the U. N. Trusteeship Council noted that much of the present political activety in the Territory, while reflecting a vigor and political consciousness which was encouraging," lacked direction and purpose. The mission said existing political tensions would be relaxed only as the thinking of the leaders was directed into positive channels. In London Stephen KingHall, one of the founders of the well-known Hansard Society, has urged that the British Parliament make a "substantial grant in aid" to Central Africa and Kenya a "sum of perhaps $140,000,000." King-Hall said the money should be spent on "health, housing, education, especially, agricultural education, the creation of more local industry and other measures calculated to raise the standard of life and well-being of the black Africans." Bank Misr, the most important commercial bank in Egypt, plans to establish a bank in Khartoum, Anglo-Egyptian Sudan and to open branches of its different trading compa/nies in the Sudan. Included as members of a mission of experts who recently made a journey through the Kalahari Desert to explore the possibilities of cattle raising in the western part of Bechuanaland were Chief Bathoen of the Bankwaketse Tribe in Bechuanaland and Tshekedi Tshekedi Khama, uncle of Seretse Khama. The University College at Khartoum, Anglo-Egyptian. Sudan revealed that it has 11 women students out of a total enrollment of 490 By the end of 1953 it is hoped that the school's enrollment will be 600 There is a particularly heavy demand for graduates of the school which grew out of Gordon Memorial college founded as a primary school 50 years ago. The Sudan Government continually offers positions in public service to graduates of the school in the fields of medicine, veterinary sciences, agriculture, engineering, law and education. Sudanese college students have been taking an active part in the drive for self-government for the county. Only recently they vigorously protested the original draft agreement with the Egyptians which overlooked the safeguarding of the rights of the southern Sudanese. Control Lids Blowing Their Tops On Goods Government officials said today order's will be issued today ending price controls on cigarettes and all other tobacco products, drugs, cosmetics coal, lumber, and some other building materials. Federal price experts predicted cigarette producers will boost prices a penny a pack and drugs and cosmetics probably will rise as much as 10 per cent. For the time being, the office of Price Stabilization was said to have dropped plans for removing all price ceilings on all home appliances and dry grocery goods such as flour, cereal, bread, crackers and rice. The problem over home appliances is still being thrashed out and some officials said that a few major appliances may be covered in the new decontrol package now being, formulated. Barring any last-minute hitch, officials said the following items will be decontrolled: Cigarettes, pipe and chewing tobacco and snuff; drugs and cosmetics, including powders and creams; coal; lumber and many nonmetallic building products; radio and television parts at the manufacturing level and farm, office and Industrial equipment. Official said Price Stabilizer Joseph H. Freehill is now planning on a single decontrol announcement this week, but probably will issue more orders lifting price ceilings after the weekend. The new decontrol orders were being prepared as the OPS dispatched instructions for, the closing of 41 district and nine branch offices throughout the country as part of its plan to cut its staff from 4,500 employes to 2,500 by mid-March Regional offices to continue operating include Richmond, Va., Atlanta, Chicago, Memphis, Kansas City, Dallas and Denver. District offices to continue after mid-March include Indianapolis, St. Louis and San Antonio. In The Nations Capitol For the NNPA News Service The House Appropriations Committee disallowed in the Second Supplemental Appropriation bill the entire request for $24,000,000 for payments to school districts in Federally impacted areas. But the House restored the cut. The bill now goes to the Senate where the fight to retain this item will be made. This appropriation under which $40,000,000 has already been made available for 1953, provides funds for the operation and maintenance of public schools located in Federally affected areas. The law authorizing the appropriation was intended to measure the Federal burden by the number of children in a local school district whose parents are employed by the Federal Government or live on Federal property which is nontaxable, and pay for that burden. If a school district has bad removed from its local tax rolls since 1939 property which equals 10 per cent of the assessed valuation, it is eligible for assistance and the amount of assistance to be paid is what that property would have yielded had it remained taxable. During hearings on the Second Supplemental Appropriation Bill, it was testified that during the peak of World War II less than 500 school districts received payments under this law. At present, 2,300 receive such Federal assistance. Testimony and reports received by the House Appropriations Committee left no doubt that there are a very great many cases where these funds go to school districts where it is obvious that local income could care for the situation. Most of the appropriation for aiding, school districts in Federally impacted areas is not spent in those places where the children are on military reservations, or other Government Installations, or where people are employed on Federal projects but most of it is spent where people live in Federal housing projects and where they reside with a parent employed on Federal property. Aside from the question of whether such school districts are really entitled to Federal assistance, there is also the overriding question of whether the Federal Government shall continue to subsidize racial segregation. In the States, whose Representatives and Senators are clamoring the loudest, not only for the supplemental appropriation of $24,000,000 but also to have the law made permanent to continue these payments, racial segregation is the pattern. Those States are even threate to abolish their public school sy if the United States Supreme Court should have the temerity to declare unconstitutional their laws requiring such segregation. Representative Graham Barden, Democrat, of North Carolina, even sought to have enacted an amendment to existing law which would make schools on military posts, run on an unsegregated basis, conform to the State pattern of segregation. The amendment passed the Congress and only its veto by former President Truman prevented it from becoming law. President Eisenhower, in his State of the Union message to Congress on February 2, recommended that the law providing assistance for the construction of school facilities in the impacted areas, which is due to expire June 20, as well as the law providing for Federal assistance the maintenance and operation schools in such areas, should be renewed and "partial payments for current operating expenses for these particular school districts should be made, including the deficiency requirement of the current fiscal year." In the same message, President Eisenhower pledged his Administration "to make true and rapid progress in civil rights." Undoubtedly, Mr. Eisenhower's recommendation of continuing Federal aid to schools in Federally impacted areas influenced the House in voting overwhelmingly to restore the $24,000,000 appropriation. He should now give further study to his position on this question. "True and rapid progress in civil rights" cannot be made so long as the Federal Government subsidizes racial segregation in public/ schools. If Federal funds are to be more available for the construction, maintenance and operation of public schools, such assistance should be conditioned on the absolute absence of segregation in the school districts receiving such aid. SENTENCE SERMONS 1. Serving God is quite different than serving man, though both in a measure go hand in hand. 2. In fact, it is impossible to serve God without serving man, and the motives must be sincere or little or nothing gained in the end. 3. Serving man, only to be seen and heard, is far from the spirit expressed in God's holy word. 4. It pleases God when men humbly serve each other, and greater still His joy when each deals with the other as a brother. 6. But man, to his undoing, seems to prefer man-made things, and would rather worship idols and put his trust in kings. 7. This kind of service to man, to God, does not rate pure, and in times of peril and distress cannot be trusted to endure. 8. God and Mammon cannot be served whether together apart, and well can We attest to this, almost from man's very start. 9. Then when man's heart is not changed his head continues to become deranged, and his billious thinking one toward the other certainly, does not become a truehearted brother. 10. Confusion then is bound to ensue when man's love to God is over-due for his actions then cannot be right, with God shut out so far from his sight. 11. Then to God let us first our allegiance prove, and the way of man will become gloriously smooth, for His Son gave Himself to die for mankind, that security on earth and in heaven he could find. 12. This is the wise choice every man ought to make, to enrich his own soul and Satan forsake; it is "the balm of Gilead" the healing oil, that brings God and man together, and eternal rest from man's toil.
