Ii an introduction to a statement
by the American Councils board
of directors, A. A. Liveright, exc
cutive director, said. 'the killing
Of tvyc Negro servicemen in Free
port, Long Island, the firing of
Negro hcsees in Chicago, and the
burning and bombing of Japanese
American homes on the west coast
are evidence of the national char
acter OF this danger.
Liveright stated that the Ameri-
can Council has evidence that the
Ku Klux Klan is attempting to
spread its organizations to every
section Of the country, and that
the Klan and such mongers as
Gerald L X Smith are seeking to
create a public climate in which
violence against minority groups
may go unchallenged. He urged
the mayors and governors COM
missions and the civic unity coun-
CHS 10 seek city. state and nation
al government action against such
groups as the Klan and individ-
uaIs like Smith. The board of di-
rectors' statement urged these
bodies to join with other commun-
ity and national groups in establi-
shing a bulwark of opposition to
disunity and support Of genuine
freedom for the whole population.
Copies of the two statements
have been sent TO United States
Attorney General Tom G. Clark
with a letter stating that the De-
partment of Justice has respon-
sibility not only for prosecuting
the lynch criminals in such cases
after they occur, but for taking
steps to protect our citizenry and
prevent such cases before they
occur.

ago. But what about the quality
of these students we are sending
into the world? ? Are they thorough
ly educated? Are they scholars?
Mr.. Davis continues, IF this
question were asked of the prof
essors in Negro schools, SO per
cent, we are certain would answer
10. Our schools they feel, are
grinding out sub-standard gradu-
ates. National tests would corro-
borate this opinion
Mr.. Davis paints a dark pic
ture, not without optimism how
ever. During the course of his dis
cussion he reveals many interest
ing educational sidelights, among
them the fact that Harvard Uni
versity alone has an educational
income larger than the 100 Negro
colleges listed in the u. S. De-
partment of Education Biennial
Survey" Davis also points out,
It is interesting to note that Rus
sia, our greatest rival for world
power, spends $13,OO0,OOO or 20
per cent of its national, income
on education; with all of our
wealth we spend S3,0O0,00O or two
per cent.

beginning with the very next day
following election day and almost
daily since that time there have
