18th Anniversary
Exercises Held al
Howard University
Return Of Religion
To Colleges Seen by
The Rev. H. S. Anderson

Religion will come back to college
faculties and college campuses, de-
clared the Rev. Howard Stone An
derson, pastor of the First Congre-
gational Church of Washington, at
exercises today commemorating the
18th anniversary of the founding
of Howard University.
Asserting that the earlier uni
versities, colleges and academies and
cultural magazines were sponsored
| by religious men, DR.. Anderson pre-
dicted increased support of educa-
tional institutions would come in
the future from organized churches.
In this period of declining private
philanthropies, he said,' colleges
will think more OF our churches"
DR.. Anderson emphasized that the
knowledge generated by universities
and colleges has been widely abused
and misused. Religion will come
back stronger than ever before, he
| added.
The speaker said, "In this age OF
dictatorship, world war, cruelty and
| savagery, it is great thing to be
able to say that Howard University
was born in prayer"
| Prof. Walter Dyson, author OF
| the History of Howard University"
said that the university's original
thesis that all races and sexes
should have equal opportunity to
obtain educational advantages to-
/ gether, is as sound today as it was
in 1857, although the percentage of
white students at Howard has dwin-
died greatly to a point where less
than l per cent of the present stu
dent body are white. He said that
/ this educational and social expert
ment has not been a failure and
will not be failure. unless we ad-
NIT that Christianity and democ-
racy have failed"
DR.. Dyson reviewed highlights OF
Howard's 75-year old history in the
| college chapel before capacity au-
/ dience. He predicted that Howard
University, now enjoying a Federal
appropriation, would receive both
Federal and State aids in the years
/ to come.
! DR.. Mordecai johnson, president
of the university, presided at the
/ exercises. Invocation was by the
Rev. William S. Nelson, dean of the
school of religion. Two honor stu
/ dents, Harry Clay Lynch and Alvin
Jerome Thompson. following an an
nual custom. paid tribute to five out
standing graduates of Howard.
! The graduates were William L.
Houston, professor of law at Howard
from 1926; Maj. Campbell C.
| Johnson, organizer of the R. o. T.
/ c. unit at Howard Miss Carolyn
/ Grant, head of the Music Depart
ment at Howard the late James

Gator, the first Negro registrar Of

DR.. Leber Tells Of Work
In Far East Missions

Church workers are striving more
now than ever before for Christian
solidarity because of the world en-
comprising war, DR.. Charles T.
Leber, secretary of the Board of
Foreign Missions OF the PreSby-
terian Church, declared yesterday
in the Covenant-First Presbyterian
Church.

the Philippines, India, the Near
East, Africa and Thailand. cover
ing much of the route by plane.
While abroad he had interviews

Travellers Aid Needs Just That
As the Quick Kids Breeze In
George, Lorraine, Anito Stop Over
Unchoperoned, California Bound

With six dollars and a market
| basket full of fried chicken and
peanut butter sandwiches, three
children, aged 7, and 4, set out
alone today for California.
They left with the fond wishes of
Mrs. Sarah Parsons the Travellers
Aid Society worker at Union Station,
who had charge Of them for three
crowded hours.
Mrs. Parsons herded the three
sleepy children, George, Lorraine
and Anita Quick, of the train from
Hamlet, S. c., at 3:55 am.
They were not sleepy long. Mrs
Parsons, had washed their faces
and locked them into the Travellers
Aid booth with her. They promptly
figured out how to unlock the door
and then there was always at least
one to be rescued from running of
through the station.
A Sugar Squanderer.
Breakfast was a diversion even
though Mrs. Parsons had to feed
them their oatmeal and Anita
poured a container Of sugar on her
cereal and danced of with the co.,
tainer on her head.
They got into things. People
stopped by to ask If Travlers' Aid
was running nursery. The booth
isn't very big and they were all
over it.
George, as the man of the family,
tried to explain where they were
from and where they were going.
Travellers Aid merely had identify
ing information about their destina-
ton, which will be wired ahead to
each change point.
"We've been staying with our
Aunt Edna" he explained.
Have you ever travelled al by
yourselves before?"
"Oh, yes, from New Hampshire"
IT think I'm going mad" said
Mrs. Parsons quietly.
AS she pieced the story together,
the children's father is in Charles
ton, S. c., and their mother is in
Napa, Calf.
Mr.. George a Family Man.
George is very proud of his family.
There are two more" he said.
They are travelling by coach on
two half-fare tickets. Anita is too
young to need one. Apparently, the
conductor takes care of them on the
train and the two girls have their
dolls. George has a toy watch.
An hour before they were to be
put on the train for the West, Mrs.
Parsons was relieved.
BE good boy and take care Of
your sisters" she told George.
They know how to unlock the

Decisions Reached
On New Strategy
In South Pacific
Results of Conference
In AustroIio to Go to
Roosevelt and Churchill
Sy the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
MELBOURNE, Australia, March
2.-Important decisions involv-
ing new principles of high STRAIT
egy in the South Pacific have
been reached in a two-day con-
ference Of the Advisory War
Council, Prime Minister John
Curtin announced today.
The sessions were attended by
representatives of New Zealand and
of the United Nations. If the New
Zealand government approves the
decisions, strong representations for
their acceptance will be sent to
Prime Minister Churchill and
President Roosevelt, it was said.
Details Kept Secret.
Announcing unanimous agree
ment, Mr.. Cutin said details were
of deepest secrecy. Not only Aus
tralia. however, but also Britain and
the United States were believed to
be involved. The decisions were
said to relate comprehensively to
all phases of land, sea and air de-
fense of Australia and New Zea-
land.
They also were said to concern
the protection of vital sea lanes,
the maintenance of supplies of war
material and general help from
overseas.
They were based on the assump-
ton that the war in the South
Pacific in the immediate future will
be principally in the air and on
the sea, with land operations sec
ondary. some sources said, and con-
firm the belief that the United
States rather than Britain will be
the chief arsenal for the war in the
Pacific.

ing and distress among civilians,
particularly among the families
Of officers and soldiers of our
armed forces in the field. Shortly
after the outbreak of the war,
the Government of the United
States released the sum Of 20
100000 pesos to be spent by the
Philippine government for civil
ian defense and. relief. A few
days ago, Gen. Macarthur, as
further evidence of his abiding
faith In and affection for the
Filipino people. approved the
transfer to the Philippine treas
ury of the sum of 10000, 900 pesos
to be spent by the Common
wealth government for public
relief and civilian defense.
This money comes from the
appropriation made by Congress
under the Philippine Civilian
Defense Act. I propose to spend
this amount to improve in every
way possible living conditions
among the civilian population in
the unoccupied areas. If it were
possible to extend this relief to
our people living in the occupied
areas, would only be too glad
to do so. for I know that those
people deserve every possible
assistance from their Govern
ment. Obviously, however, it will
be impracticable to take such
action now. Nevertheless, wish to
assure the loyal people of Manila
and other areas under enemy
control that their government
will extend to them all the as
sistance that they may require
after the enemy shall have been
driven away from their midst.
Special attention will be given
to the families of soldiers and
civilians who have been killed or
incapacitated and to those who
have been wounded by the action
Of the enemy. Everything pos
sible will be done to minister to
the needs of these people who are
sacrificing so much for the well
fare and freedom Of their coun-
trymen.
The civilian emergency ad-
miniStrations in the different
provinces will be the agencies
charged with the duty of carry
ing out the relief program that
has been adopted.
i urge every Filipino to be of
good cheer, to have faith in the
patriotism and vaior of our SOL
diers in the field, but above all.
to trust America and our great
and beloved leader-Presiden
Roosevelt.
The United Nations will win
this war. America is too great
and too powerful to be van
quished in this conflict. I know
she will not fail us!

Serious Farm Labor
Problem Faces u. 5,
Senators Warn
Report on California
Inquiry Says Workers
Have Dark Outlook
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A national agricultural labor
problem is emerging from the in
dustrialized fields and orchards of
California, the Senate Civil Liber-
ties Committee warmed Congress
today.
1t forecast that the typical Amer
ican farm family and hired hand
soon would find themselves in the
same position as California's mi
grant workers.
The predictions came in gen.
eral introduction to the committee S
report on a 28-day investigation of
alleged violation of the rights of
free speech and rights of labor in
California. Nine other sections OF
the report will be filed later.
Employment relations in Cali
fornia's industrialized agriculture
have been left in the unfettered
control of employers groups and
associations" Senators La Toilette,
Progressive. of Wisconsin and
Thomas, Democrat, of Utah said.
THE results are almost beyond
belief.
Factors In "AutOcratic" System.
Unemployment, underemploy-
ment, disorganized and haphazard
migrancy, lack of adequate wages
or annual income, bad housing. in
sufficient education. little medical
care, the great public burden of
relief, the denial of civil liberties,
riots, strife, corruption. are all part
and parcel of this autocratic system
of labor relations that has for
decades dominated CALIFORNIA; ag-
ricultural industry"
The Committee on Education and
Labor warned that similar condi-
tions might be spread throughout
agricultural America unless meas
ures were advanced for economic
relief and rehabilitation and for the
reorganization of the labor market"
in industrialized agriculture.
The security and prosperity Of
the independent farm operator, who
with his family and an occasional
hired man works his own land, is
passing" the report continued. His
future is dark and, except for the
few who may become large CONNER
cial farm operators depending upon
hired wage labor. the path Of the
farmer is likely to lead to the role
of landless farm laborer or share
tenant, with a precarious footing on
the land"
The committee found that bel
ligerent associations" of employers
were more active than elsewhere in
the country and played an aston
ishingly aggressive and open role" ,"
Espionage Charged.
1t reported that these 'belligerent
anti-union employers associations"
in the agricultural field, inspired by
similar organizations in the cities,
resorted to espionage, conspiracy to
flout the National Labor Relations
Act, unfair labor practices and
openly sought "repressive legislation
violative Of constitutional rights"
The committee stressed the i'm
portance of its report in wartime.
1t said that certain employer Or
ganizations ARE well designed to
foster. develop and divert national
hysteria in any period of national
emergency against trade unions and
collective bargaining. although they
themselves constitute constant
provocation to strikes in defense in
dustries and elsewhere"
