Position on Spain
BY the A,,ocioted Pres,

Herschel v. Johnson, United States
interim delegate to the United Ma
tions Security Council, was in Wash
ington today for weekend confer.
ences arranged to define American
policy on the controversial issue oil
Franco Spain.
He was expected to confer with
the highest administration leaders
and foreign policy makers and re-
turn to New York ready for debate
possibly Tuesday on the council SUBJ
committees recommendation for a
collective U. N. break with Spain
next September.
Mr.. johnson and Sir Alexander
Cadogan, the British delegate, won
a postponement when debate opened
Thursday on the plea that their
government had not yet assimilateo
the subcommittee report and wanted
more time to draft their policies.
i. Question Of Tactics.
Both Great Britain and the United
States, on the basis of previous pro-
nouncements, are opposed to the
present form Of the subcommittee
recommendation on the ground that
it might backflre.
1T is not a question of objective
but of tactics" the spokesman for
one delegation said in New York.
1--WE do want to get rid OF Franco,
but we want to be sure that our
action does not have the reverse
of the intended effect"
Although Britain was still in the
process of shaping a policy on the
text of the subcommittee report
of a months inquiry into Spanish
affairs, the British delegation hoped
for some word from London today.
This might come with Hector Nc
Neil, undersecretary of state for
foreign affairs, who is arriving by
plane to take the place of Philip J.
Noel-Baker, minister of state, in the
Economic and Social Council.
Another Delay in Prospect.
British sources were certain that
instructions would be received in
time for the meeting tentatively
scheduled for Tuesday. Council
President Alexandra Parodi said it
would be postponed again If all the
delegations were not ready by then.
Soviet Delegate Andrei A. Gromy-
ko has made clear that his country
is against any delay in dealing with
Spain and that it opposes the SUBJ
committee proposal to leave the
recommendation for a break with
Spain to the General Assembly
meeting here in September.
The question of mass destruction
weapons, which will be taken up by
the U. NJ Atomic Commission next
Friday. figures in the argument on
Spain.
The Spanish Subcommittee chair
man, DR.. Herbert Evatt of Australia,
pointed out that Spain, as nation
barred from U. N. membership, con-
stitutes gap" in the security
measures the atomic commission
hopes to establish over the organ
lied nations to restrict and control
the use of atomic energy.

College Fund
Drive Opened

The Boston committee of ths
United College Fund opened
their campaign last Monday
noon at the Hotel Lenox, with
a luncheon honoring Miss Carol
Brice, talented contralto, who
gave her first recital here Sun
day at Jordan Dali. Miss
Brice is a graduate of Talledega
College and Juillard Graduate
School.
Thomas Eliot, ex-congressman
who served as postmaster,
opened the drive by saying
more than ever we all realize
the need of education for all.
Especially for those in a section
of the country where the oppor-
tunities are less for the colored
American" He introduced Miss
Brice, who made a remarkably
fine talk saying, although we
are firmly in favor of inter
racial education, we must still
realize the plight of those in the
section Of the country who must
abide by the laws of that sec
ton and for this reason only am
! so interested in this drive for
our colored colleges"
The main speaker of the af-
ternoon was the amiable Mrs.
Lucy Mitchell, director of the
Shaw House Nursery School and
herself a graduate of one of the
colleges to benefit by this cam
paign. Mrs. Mitchell traced the
history Of her college, Talle-
dega in Alabama. Or. David D.
Jones, president of Bennett Col
lege at Greensboro, N. c., gave
a very inspiring talk of the need
of the colored colleges and said
by helping these colleges you
will help some coming genius
The POSTMASTER then proceeded
to introduce persons of distinc.
ton who were seated at the
head table: Henry S. Howe, cam.
paign treasurer; Matthew w
Bullock, Esq, David E. Lane

LETTERS TO
THE GUARDIAN
PRAISE FOR OBANYOUN

PRAISE FOR O'BANYOUN
To the Editor Of The Guardian:
Those of us who climb the
steep ascent to perfection in the
various branches of art, are
greatly indebted to columniSt
O'Banyoun for his timely and
encouraging observations"
He is sympathetic. All good
musicians are and he is one of
our best. He is impartial; what
real artist is not? Knowing
that art is an expression of the
divine in man he keeps his at
tention forcuSSed upon that
which is beautiful in all per-
formances and records it for the
inspiration of the artist and the
joy of well-wishes. In short, he
is the answer t othe wishes of
those of us who strive to give of
our best.
To my mind, there is nothing
in this whole wide world that
compares with inspiration. Like
a contagion, it is catching. It
moves the heart of man; spurs
him on to great achievements,
even to the extent of unravel-
ling the mysteries of the uni
verse.
The GUARDIAN should be
recommended for its good judge
ment in selecting and retain
ing the services of columniSt
O'Banyoun.
CHEER
Cheer is a gladstone act which
works both ways,
It conquers fear; dispels the
gloomy haze
OF doubt; the maze of troubled
thought;
Then blest is he who cheers;
he loses naught.

prayer. Let them point out the
errors in the Bible. But when
out of misfortune they look up,
they will observe the marvellous
balance and rythmn of the pla-
nets and the stars and the ac-
curacy with which even the
comets perform on schedule,
and will note with joyous effect
the warmth giving rays of the
sun.
Having dwelt upon these
things not made nor controlled
by Man is sufficient, per Sc. to
incline all of us, unbelievers,
skeptics and back-Sliders alike
to travel to our respective pla-
ceS of worship on Easter Sun
day and there by our presence
give notice to all OF our desire
to testify in public.

eyes to the Heavens above for
succor and courage. They po-
sess now the feeling that they
too, could bend their knees at
the bedside and, like little
children, murmur, ''Now I Lay
Me Down To Sleep" Their
highly trained minds are will
ing to concede that although
the form and words of this sim
pie prayer are negligible, and
that the church has failed to
solve all of our problems, yet
both of these are effective in
strumepts in a direct approach
to God. And they may come to
realize that only by going to
church can they publicly testify
of their faith in the Lord.
Some there are who give as
their excuse for non-attendance
the poor preaching by the min
lister. But it has been said that
it matters not who occupies the
pulpit, for 1t is God who prea-
ches the sermon. For truly the
church is the only institution
in the world that has stood as
solid rock in the face of con-
slant assault by the forces Of
evil. 1t possesses the only mach
inery for carrying on the I'M
finished task Of this creation.
And the salvation of the mod
ern world depends upon the
spiritual enlightenment Of all
the people through the mech
anics of the church.

Last winter I attended a re-

the blame on hasty arrange
ments, lack of preparation and
want Of cohesiveness among
personnel. Others say that the
drive came in a busy season,
just before Easter, when other
wise good NAACP workers were
engTossed in their own bust
ness affairs. AS was to be ex-
pected the flop is also at
tributed to the scars left by
the recent election Of officers,
and the unfair" attacks on the
retiring president. Not only his
personal friends, whose num-
bers would likely astonish same
of his opponents, but others,
too, were alienated by the OBJ
vious lack OF fairness in crit
icising the former presidents
career in Office. They reason
that whatever may be said of
any mistake" he may have
made - and who doesn't make
mistakes? - he came through
handsomely at all times in his
membership drives. He built up
the membership from 1900 to
5000, and his administration,
when it went out of office, left
more than $1,000 in the treas
ury, one third of which the
present administration has all
ready spent. Among other
charges is that old workers
were discarded for new and
inexperienced ones, a change
which in any organization is
apt to cause disgruntlement,
loss of interest and of cooper
alton.
The membership drive was
well advertised, though, and
was accompanied with much
publicity; but the workers in
the vineyard were lacking. Rev
Hughes, Boston Branch presi-
dent, it is said, severely casti-
gated committee laggardS. "If
you don't want to work, get
off the committee" he is said
to have declared in conference
with the committee at a spec
ial meeting early this week
when it was voted to extend
the drive another two weeks
in the hope of making up the
membership to a better show
ing.
During that time, however.
the Branch's prolonged efforts
will be in competition with the
annual United College Fund
drive which was opened here
Monday at Hotel Lenox at a
luncheon meeting at which

speaker.
