What is your conception of the procedures to be
followed in Congress? Mine is that all men should
be allowed to state their point of view.
Yet there is much work of importance to be done
for the world and it me that one of the OBJ
legations of representatives is to state their point
OF view as clearly and as quickly possible and then
allow all the other representatives to stand up and
be counted on the question involved
The obstrustionis methods of the flbuster seem to
me to make sense. They destroy democratic gov
eminent and leave the people in the position where
their representatives waste hours and days of preci-
time not gaining any new information but simply
being out.
Finally the leaders decide that to get important
business done they must acquiesce in the views of
the flibustering gentlemen and the people never
know what is the real opinion of the majority.

Gentlemen:
1t is with a great deal Of re-
greet that I have read of your re-
cent order forbidding teachers
from being members Of interra-
cial committees.
I regret 1t because I am a citi-
zen of Massachusetts, residing at
1893 Camden st Boston. I have
been very proud of the liberal
history Of Massachusetts, from
the earliest period down to re-
cent months. regret anything
that is not in keeping with our
tradition that Boston is the
Grade of Liberty.
I rerget it because believe
such action on your part is I'M
constitutional. I believe that
this violates the freedom Of as
sembly and free speech and civil
rights.
I regret it because it is I'M
American. The rights to belong
to any and every organization
that we wish has been traditional
in America as long as our country
has existed.
Further I regret 1t because
such groups are so badly needed
at the time and will be needed
much more in the future in the
days of reconversion after peace
when racial tensions will mount
Such groups as this needs the in
teIectual guidance that oul
school teachers might give.
1t is hard to believe that, in
a democracy such as ours, the
School Committee would stoop
to such dictatorial policies! This
sounds like Germany under Hit
Ter.
I personally urge and request
that this action be reversed, SC
that t he good state Of Massachu-
sets will not have this blot upon
our Civil Rights history.
May I hear from you at your
earliest convenience.

grooming should never be carried

who combines freshness with natu-

Regular features also help, but
beauty is not essential. He also felt
that in teen-age modelling a petite

than a tall girl. And 1t goes without
