LAW Can END DISCRIMINATION
SAYS LANG5T0N HUGHES


BIRMINGHAM Feb. % (ANP).
The "color problem" in America
is not SO great that it cannot be
solved by law and education, Langs-
ton Hughes, greatest living Negro
poet, told an audience at the 10th
Street Baptist churlh here.
Hughes told of his experiences in
Africa, Japan, Russia, China and
other world spots as we'll as his
travels in America. He contrasted
the Jewish problem in Russia with
the color problem in America and
asserted that if in Russia the Jew
ish problem which was many times
worse than the Negro problem in
America, could be solved the So
called race problem in America can
be solved.
eff race discrimination is made
a crime in America and punished
by law it would take only a short
time to break it up" he opined. He
indicated, however, that in Russia
the solution of the race problem was
part Of a big social change and rev.
elation.
