Widow Of Vet Delays Rites In Squabble Over Death Cause Two Weeks after the death of her disabled war veteran husband here, a widow was stubbornly refusing to permit his burial. Mrs. Eleanor Collor,40, mother of eight children ranging in age from 22 to four years, cancelled plans for a military funeral for her husband, Solomon, contending that there had been an irregularty in the listing of the cause of his death. The irregularity, she insister, could affect the future economic welfare of her and the children There was also a moral issue involved. Before his death, Collor,42, was confined to the Veterans Administration at Jefferson Barracks, Mo., with a service - connected heart ailment. Mrs. Collor insists that her husband died from the disability, beCause a physician at the hospital had told her so. She said the doctor told her he died from "another stroke." Therefore, Mrs. Collor was incensed to learn later that the death certificate listed the cause of death as pneumonia. She insisted on her right to have the certificate corrected. Until it's corrected, she declared defiantly, she would not permit her husband to be buried. And when the Health Department threatened to seize the body and bury it, she challenged that agency also. "They can bury him all they want but I don't want him buried. And I refuse to go to my husband's funeral," she said last week as the hassle Was still going on over the issue. At stake economically, was the future subsistence checks to Mrs Collor and her children. Before his death, Solomon Collor was receiving a veteran's pension award of $488 a month. If it is determined that the veteran died from his service connected disability, that monthly award will remain about the same, as will benefits accruing to the couple's six minor children. The monthly award could range as high as $689. DISABILITY CLAIMED Two Weeks after the death of her disabled war veteran husband here, a widow was stubbornly refusing to permit his burial.

POSNER'S BERGAMOT WATER REPELLENT CONDITIONS of HEADS everywhere Conservation Farm Family Featured In Ag Magazine The family are Mr. and Mrs. Richard Smith of Huntingtown, Md., and their four children. After five years as tenants on a 56acre farm, they bought the place in 1962 and then sought the aid of their Soil Conservation District to help them fight erosion, says the publication. The District sent a Soil Conservation Service technician to assist the family in making a complete conservation farm plan. The plan called for terraces and contour striperopping on the less precipitous slopes, and grass or trees on the steeper hillsides, soil testing, and proper applications of fertilizer. The SOS technician and the Cooperative Extension Service county agent helped and encouraged the family. Soon the Smith's tobacco yield increased from an average of 700 pounds per acre to 1,200-about 300 pounds higher than the State average. And their corn output rose from 38 bushels per acre to 70-16 more than the average for the. State, the magazine points out. These and other achievements led to their selection for the Soil Stewardship feature. Soil Stewardship Week has been observed since 1946. Its aim is to emphasize the protection and wise use of soil, water, and other related resources. The Smiths and their neighbors and millions of others will observe the week, but it is not a one-week affair with them. Taking care of their land is an everyday job. That their land takes care of them has its proof in their home freezer and on the pantry shelves. However, the farm is too small to meet the larger needs of college fees for the tour children, the publication explains. So, Mr. Smith has a full-time job as a crane operator at the nearby Naval Research Laboratory. He and his boys do the farm chores during late afternoons and evenings and on Saturdays. UN Committee Would Throw Out S. Africa A recommendation calling for complete diplomatic and commercial isolation of Dr. Hendrik Verwoerd's Republic of South Africa was put forward May 8 by a special committee of the United Nations. An all - nation committee on apartheid (racial separation) said that despite previous appeals, about 20 member states still maintain diplomatic relations with the racist South African government. Mo.

Equal Opportunity Committee Acts On 1,040 Denial Complaints Still pending are 698 complaints of discrimination because of race, creed, color or national origin in employment by government contractors, vice President Lyndon B. Johnson chairman of the Committee, announced. The pending cases either are auditing review by the Committee or are still under investigation by the contracting agencies, he said. Of the 1,040 cases completed,141 were dismissed for lack of jurisdiction because the employers did not hold government contracts. Of the remaining 899 cases, or 72 per cent resulted in findings of discrimination and the taking of corrective action to eliminate discrimination and insure equal opportunity. The Vice President pointed out that the 1,738 complaints filed with the Committee during the two years compared with a total of 1,042 complaints filed with the former President's Committee on Government Contracts during its seven and one-half of operation. The corrective action rate of the previous committee was 20 per cent compared with the 72 per cent rate for the past two years.

This is a pertinent question today for the many who in their human weakness of spirit, question the evil days that seem to have befallen them. To say that the World is full of fear is simply to reiterate the conclusion to which many people have already come. To deny that there is cause for fear can only be done if we ignore the implications of actions and hear the news without grave questions about the future coming into our minds. If man is to be held morally responsible for his conduct, then God cannot absolve us from the consequences of our own sinful or careless acts, or from that of others. If we drive our automobiles recklessly we endanger our own lives and the lives of others. It is an act of irresponsibility to pray that there shall be no explosion and then light a match to see if these is gasoline in the tank. God has created a universe of law and order Violation of those laws, either through ignorance or intention, will bring inevitable consequences. God expects us to live as responsible beings. We cannot expect that God will suddenly remove a tree to prevent us from crashing into it. This would make for a world of utter confussion. It is more Christlike conduct for us to pray that God will keep us alert and conscious of our responsibilities than it is for us to ask for special protection from the results of our ignorance or folly Most of the fear throughout the world is caused, not by natural catastrophes, but by man's selfishness, ignorance, or stupidity. We cannot exploit other people, either in our own land or Other lands, without becoming objects of hatred or contempt. We are inclined to blame God for our misfortunes. We are tempted to cry out, as Job cried out, that we are not being treated fairly. We believed that God was our refuge and our fortress. But something seems to have gone wrong. What is it? Just as the friends of Job believed that his misfortune and suffering came as the result of sin, so we may have friends who say the same thing. Job protested, and finally he and his friends learned that pain and suffering are not to be interpreted as the vengeance of an angry God. We still do not know all the causes of pain and suffering, but we have, learned that pain is not necessary evil. We call it evil because we do not like it. Pain can be a good servant and save us from greater suffering and death. Like Job, we must learn that because we suffer, we are not necessarily victims in the hands of an offended deity. Suffering is sometimes the result, not of sin, but of our intense love of someone else. God himself suffered in the death of his son Jesus. We dare, therefore to believe that when we suffer, God our Father also suffers. When tragedy comes, it must be faced. We cannot ignore it. If we face tragedy with faith, we shall grow spiritually. If we face tragedy with despair, the tragedy is deepened and our lives are weakened Suffering, pain, disappointment, and illness come to all of us in varying amounts and in different forms in the happiness of the marriage ceremony, we so easily take the vow "for better, for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish." In that happy moment, we cannot think that such things as sickness, poverty, or frightful conduct will eve rmar our union. But they may, an dour divorce courts are filled with people who refuse or cannot face the implications of their marriage vows. Yes, indeed, tragedy and suffering may come in so many unexpected ways. Those who face these experiences with faith are a constant inspiration to all who know them. Facing tragedy with faith may benefit others and may in turn benefit ourselves. Sometimes God delivers us not from our troubles but through them. Here we find the greatest miracle of God's deliverance. The troubles are faced, but faith is stronger than the trouble. Friendship with Christ deepens. He has delivered us even in our troubles. The apostle Paul faced many hardships for Christ. Yet he was not delivered from any of these things But the deliverance of God came to him constantly as he was facing them. God is the rock and fortress of all mankind. In Him we find our strength. He is also our friend and our guide. If we place ourselves in his hands, no harm can come to us and in Him we can find peace and power.

Legislatures Quietly Approve States Rights Amendments Quietly and deliberately avoiding fanfare, an organization is working around the clock to get the necessary approval to add three amendments to the Constitution that would seriously endanger the rights of Negroes as citizens. If the adopted the proposed amendments could be used to do the following: 1. - Nullify the effectiveness of the United States Supreme court chiefly because since issuing the momentous 1954 school desegregation edict it has consistently ruled favorably on civil rights issues. This would be done by establishing a "court of the Unon" with the power to overrule the U. S Supreme Court. 2 - Take away power from the federal courts to require individual states to comply with Supreme Court rulings concerning the apportionment of representation to state legislatures. This would make it possible to disfranchise Negro voters or render Negro votes ineffective by careful gerrymandering of districts. 3 — Allow state legislatures to amend the constitution without any consideration by Congress. Under this proposal, it is pointed out, state legislators representing only 15 percent of the total U. S. population could bring about changes in the constitution that could conceivably erase the guarantees now in the constitution that assure the rights of Negroes as citizens. Behind this insidious campaign that has already met with some endorsement by state legislatures, is the Council of states Govern ments, a Chicago based organization created and supported by the state legislatures of all 50 states. Press Club To Honor Johnson Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson will be honored May 18 by the Capital Press Club at the club's 20th anniversary awards banquet in the International inn.

As a Senator, as Vice President and as head of the Committee, Terry said, Mr. Johnson has "worked faithfully to reduce racial discrimination in America." The Capital Press Club is a predominantly colored newsmen's organizatoin. RESEARCH SCIENTIST— THEY TRAINED ENOS FOR SPACE FLIGHT Miss Foster came to this position in December 1961 to work on a project contracted by the National Aeronautics Space Administration. Her work at that time dealt chiefly with the behavior study of pigeons and monkeys. Monkeys were being trained in this department for space travel. Studies were made to determine their ability to manipulate space vehicles on a short range basis. Experiments were conducted to see how a monkey or a chimpanzee responded under stress and how well they could survive in a long range space vehicle. Enos, the first chimpanzee to be sent up in a space vehicle, was trained in this laboratory. Miss Foster has experimented on rats and pigeons to test their reaction to an electric stimulator of, the brain. She expects to make similar tests with monkeys and possibly dogs. This project is being conducted- under contract with the Army. A native of Houston, Texas, Miss Foster was trained as an experimental psychologist. Alter completing her high school work in Chicago, she became a scholarship student at Howard University for one year, where she planned to major in mathematics. She returned to Texas the following year and enrolled in Texas Southern University at Houston, changing her major to psychology. Upon graduation she accepted a position in the public school system at Lincoln, Nebraska. From there she was granted a National Defense Education Act Fellowship to do graduate work in counseling psychology at the University of Nebraska. After two years in Lincoln she came to Washington in September 1961 and accepted a Job with an employment agency.

JOHNSTON CITES BASIS OF SOUTHERN STRENGTH The secret of southern strength in Washington is seniority and long, evity of service, Sen. Olin D. Johnston (D.-S.C.) told a group of Alabama Democrats at Birmingham on Friday, May 10. Addressing the Steering committee of the Alabama Democratic Party, Johnston said "Alabama and the South" can not afford "the luxurious expense of two - partyism." "Playing with Republicans is like playing with rattlesnakes a dangerous pasttime," he warned. Those who think two - partyism Will bring us some sort of magical peace and prosperity should look to the large Northern cities ... where two partyism is at its worst." In other passages of his prepared speech. Mr. Johnston said. "Southern Republicans in their frantic attempts to promote two partyism have already begun votebaiting to minorly groups, leading up to a repeat performance of the same role Republicans played in the Reconstruction era. "A great number of Southerners have become linked to the Republican movement on the belief that by leaving the Democratic Party and jolining the Republican party, they will do something for the cause of states rights. "This is one of the most misleading theories ever perpetrated on the people of the South. As soon as you develop a two party system in the south, you are going to get the same minority vote - bait ing that we have in icties like New York, Chicago, and Kansas City. "When we reach that point in Southern politics, our states rights will evaporate, disintegrate, and go out the window.

Dr. Joachim Prinz, president of the American Jewish Congress, proposed in a letter to President Kennedy that such a conference be called for Independence Day, July 4. Out of this conference, Dr. Prinz declared, "should come a Proclamation of Equality in which the full authority and prestige of your office would be placed in support of gret national task before us: to make real for millions of Americans the promise of eqquality first utter our Declaration of Independence." The American Jewish congress leader said the Kennedy Administration's role in arranging peace talks in Birmingham between white and Negro representatives there has been a "laudable" one. "But the struggle in that Alabama city," he said, "is only a symptom of the continued denial of constitutional rights to the Negroes of the south, and of the Negro community's determination to secure these rights now."
