Strike SINNERS

SALISBURY, N. c. (ANP)-
Livingston college is going through
what it's administration terms as
a recess. Dormitories were closed
Feb 2, after parents had been notl-
fed to send for their children or to
come for them.
In spite of the closing ORDER
some students have remained on the
campus. Many Of the pupils who
lived in North Carolina or IN towns
not distant went home to enjoy the
brief vacation. Most of the stu
dents who come from a great dis
lance, probably so, remained at the
school When the students asked
for court order to restrain the
administration from moving to sus-
mend the seven girls it accused as
ha;nc strike leaders, that automat-
icallv prevented the closing OF the
dormitories.
A call for a trustee. meeting TO
be held Feb. 13, has gone out over
the signature of Victor J. Tulane,
secretary of the board OF trustees
Mr. Tulane is a professor OF chem

United States can never become a
democracy without amending the

Against Discrimination an earlier

mot organized as a democracy"
asking whether it was the purpose
of the organization "to ask for an
amendment of the constitution ;"
Larry Rivkin and Bernard Moss,
chairman and executive secretary
of the veterans, complied with the
request and tohd the committee
that they interpreted such a state
ment from committee Of the house
of representatives as putting 1T
g. publicly on record as opposing
the democracy for which Ameri-
cans have always fought and in
which millions of American men
and women believe as the funda-
mental principle of our govern
ment."
The veterans group further
stated that it considers the letter
from Mr.. Adamson, a federal gov
eminent employee representing
congressional committee, par
ticularly shocking and outrageous.
The second letter from Mr.. AID
amson suggested that the Veterans
Against Discrimination "read W
on the subject of democracy" ant
called attention to the fifth amend
ment of the constitutions and bool
on the subject by Sol. Bloom.
/ The letter concluded hat g. thu

forcefully is that in all Of this talk
about after the way, absolutely no
attention seems to be paid to the
question Of independence and de-
for the black colonies in
Africa and the West Indies. The
worlds greatest colonial power,
England, ruler of millions of col
onial slaves, already knows what
Poland, Czecho- Slovakia and other
small nations are going to get out
