Four times in the last 26 days this busy and troubled world has paused to observe significant first the death of Franklin D.

 It was inevitable that Europe would be hungry clad, and sheltered that thousands thousands would be displaced and homeess that political unrest would abound that the neglect destruction of fields and arm factories and ransportaton would bring long period of painful con- vaescence after Europes almost fatal illness
 But what could not have been foreseen the almost complete collapse of that unity of spirit and purpose among the great powers which made VIE Day possible The need of unity learned through blood and pain and sacrifice The triumph of that unity hailed and consecrated in nobe heartfelt words the hour of victory ncred ble that the need the triumph could be forgotten Yet today naonasm with all it's old pride and ambition and tesy sesufcency confuses the efforts for united The great powers that liberated Europe bitter and tentious.

American Mother, 1946 By Thomas Stokes

What their mother and they have done With their lives in useful service is an example o the fine influence of our Negro colleges. From these colleges there go out leaders in all fields and pro fessions teaching medicine the law, social serVlce business and agriculture.
 More trained leaders are needed in all lines for the 1S million Negros who live among us.
 campaign is now going on to raise funds for Negro colleges, the United Negro College Fund Inc, which has headuuarters at 38 East 57th Street III New York City, This is a joint effort on behalf or B Negro colleges, among which the funds Will pc distributed This is the third annual campaign III this united movement.
 The goal this year is $1,300,00o, not much when spread over the nation when measured in ndlVidual contributions but very essential to keep these co- leges going and to improve their equipment ana make necessary additions to their teaching staffs
 The Negro colleges never have been strong H. nancialy They have suffered along with all other from private endowments and the falling OH m out side support including that of wealthy phllantnro- pists whose fortunes not what they once were.
 The Negro colleges face an added responsibility due to the war It is estimated that some 2O,OOU Negroes out of the million in the service, VIII seek college educations under the' GI Bill of Rights InlS calls for more teachers and more facilities.
 The yearning among Negroes for higher educa- ton to train them for leadership among tnelr own people is shown by the sacrifices made by so many and by their families, to send them to- couege NAany service of individual college graduates who nave gone out to work among their people and, by tnelr ione and valiant struggle, have helped to raise the stano ard of living in communities, improved nealtn conui- tions taught better methods in agriculture

You zee 1t on Capitol Hill where certain Senators use their priv eged position to speculate the commodity market. You see it among the hordes of business lobbyists who tl1rong the capitol demanding this or that concession for their group. And you see 1t among black marketeers and manufacturers who withhold their products hoping to ruin OPA
 Finally you see it among certain labor leaders, who, regardless of public interest are determined to squeeze out the very last penny even if in doing so they parayze their country. f the shoe fits. John L. Lewis, put it ono
 Intolerance, the other great mistake of Hitler, also has increased to shocking degree. Witness. for instance the Ku Klux Klan Discredited and with its leaders in jail before the war 1t has now sprung to life again. So far it's activities are scat tered and feeble but significantly growing stronger
 To illustrate, here is secret survey of XXX activities in the South which shows how intolerance, the poison which helped bring the downfall Of Hitler is creeping into our national bloodStream.
 The post-war revival of the Klan began on October 10 when fiery cross was burned on Stone Mountain just outside of Atlanta, Ga, which once again has become the XXX national headquarters. Since then five Klan chapters have been meeting regularly in Atlanta. Chapter No. has weekly attendance of 150 and several city policemen, city officials and substantial citizens have joined in the last few weeks
 In Knoxville Tenn Birmingham Ala, Key West, Fla, and Maryvile, Tenn. Klan chapters are meet ing regularly. In Miamt Fla, several crosses nave been burned since V-J Day, but vigorous expose by the Miami Herald has resulted in Klan condem- nation by ministers civic leaders and politicians
 In Chattanooga, two Klan chapters meet regu- larly, one led by J. B. Stoner. They have burned about ten crosses since Vel Day. The Kan in Chat tanooga, unlike other cities is more Anti-Negro than Anti Jewish or Anti-Catholic.
 
 Recently Stoner sent out postal cards to chat anooga mailing list advertising the protocols of the learned elders of Zion" for sale at @ per copy This book once published by Henry Ford but later repud ated by him as false claims to reveal world Jewish plot to take over civilization.

PULITZER AWARDS
(New York Times)

(NeW YOrk I1meS)
 The first peacetime award in five years of the Pulitzer Prizes sees a turning from the reports and liter ature of the war to commentaries on the fundamental problems that are always with us. To be sure, two of the journalism awards, as might have been expected since we still were at war during the first eight months of 1945, were made on the basis of war correspondence. However, the prize play this year -"State of the Union" has to do with the domestic political scene; the award for distinguished foreign correspondence was not given this year for war reports, and the biographical selection of Iinnie Marsh Wolfe's story of the life of John Muir, the naturalist, and Arr tur M Schlesinger, Jr.'s. The Age of Jackson, were far removed from last years martial airs.
 The committee this year failed to select '7best" novel, thus neatly sidestepping what generally is one of the most controversial selections. It's award to the Lindsay Grouse play doubtless will meet with wide approval. State of the Union" was made to order to fit into the terms of the award.
 The journalism awards meet this year the best traditions of the Puli- ger Prizes: to The Scranton Times for its exposure of judicial cor ruption; to Holding Garter of The Delta Democrat Times of Green vile, Mass, for his editorials on racial tolerance; to Bruce Russell, of The Los Angeles Times for his cartoons; to Edward A. Harris of The St. Louis Dispatch for his reports on the tidelands oil situa- tion; to Homer Bigart of The New York Herald Tribune for his gra- phic Pacific war dispatches; and last, but not least, to our own Will liam L. Laurence for his atom bomb stories and to Arnaldo Cortesi for courageous dispatches from Buenos Aires on the growth there of new fascist state in this hemisphere.
 One thing, we believe: the awards in journalism this year show that the spirit of high enterprise, of a deep feeling of responsibility, of a sincere search for the elusive truth, is still vitally alive in the press of the United States and in the hearts and minds of its reporters around the world. We know that to be true of our own MT. Laurence and MT CorteSi.

Views of the Press

tist. Norbert Rillieux, a Louisianian of Negro blood, born in 1906, is largely responsible for the develop ment of modern methods in sugar refining. His career has just been told by George P. Meade, a Louisi- ana sugar refiner, in The Scientific Monthly.
 Rilheux was fortunate enough to have 8 wealthy white father, who recognizing his ability, sent him to Paris to be educated. At 24 he be- came an instructor in applied me- chanics at a Paris technical school.
 His great contribution consisted in utilizing the latent heat in the va DOTS left from evaporation. He con- structed mechanism for collecting these and re-vaporating them again and again, attaining success in 1845. His apparatus displaced the old method whereby slaves transferred the boiling juice from one Steaming open kettle to another by means of long ladies. (EIis methods are funda- mentally those used in sugar refin- ing today.
 Other activities of his included the drainage of the lowlands of New Orleans, and, curiously enough, the decipherment of Egyptian hiero- glyphics. In his old age he renewed his studies of sugar evaporation, and perfected new machinery. This he unfortunately lost through pat enting difficulties.
 Rillieux was never a slave, but restrictions on the movements of free Negroes caused him to move to France about 1860. He died there in 1894. Forgotten even by experts in his special field, he deserves to be better known.
