ending with how he still loved the
Germans and the Japanese.

feel about this, Bernie, but let's
not have any more sermons on it."
Good HUNDRED Infiexibility.
A month or so later Bernie would
come right out with 1t again. But
there was something about this
man, his disregard of the world in
matters between him and his God,
that had their respect.
Bernie Hampton is a well-built
medium sized man OF S feet, 8 inch
es, and ITS pounds. He is SO but
his buoyancy, his face unwrinkled
and his brown hair untouched by
grey, make him look much younger.
His eyes have q way Of lighting up
behind his rimless glasses. He has
the happiness Of man capable of
good -humored inflexibility when the
whole cry of voices is on the other
side.
Bernie had been in World War
in one Of the. early groups to
arrive in France. He was an en-
listed man-had volunteered right
after the declaration. He was with
the ground crew Of the 8o1st Aero
Squadron training with Nieuports at
Issoudun, France. He spent IT
months overseas and came back
with q conviction that war was
oralizing-wrong. He was born
in the southwest corner OF Virginia
two years ahead of time-that is,
when he got to seventh grade he
had to repeat it twice waiting for
the first high school in the section
to be completed.
Worked for More Education.
After the war he tried to avoid
his calling by studying law. He was
a policeman for year at Kingston,
Tenn, In order to save money for
more education. He also worked as
a coal miner. He went to Emory
University at Atlanta and In 1926
was ordained in the Methodist min
istry. He married Addie McCrory,
an Emory student born in Atlanta.
She shares his views. In her Sun
day school classes she had been re-
ported to question the principal
tenet Of the South-segregation.
When Bernie reached the court
house that morning, revolution had
degenerated into vandalism. New

ter of fact, for the British and Ameri-
can delegates to say anything. Dr.
Oscar Lange, the Polish delegate,
chairman that day, ruled that the
matter was not on the agenda and
could not be discussed. But even
If the chairman had opened the
meeting to this new and trouble
some issue, it is doubtful if either
the British or American delegate
would have taken his cue from the
tough talk emitted earlier in the
week by our doughty undiplomatic
seadog, Admiral Halsey.
Russian Move Not Clear.
Just what is behind the Russian
proposal Is not completely clear. AS
stated by Gromyko, 1.-The presence
of Allied troops for SO long a time
after the end of the war, a pres
ence which is not called for by mill
tary necessity, must provoke natural
uneasiness in the peoples of those
countries in which foreign troops are
still stationed"
Behind the querulous Russian
complaints concerning the majestic
movement of our battleships into
Greek waters, the complaints that
caused the nobody's- damn business
outburst from Admiral Halsey, is
something little more clear. 1t is
resentment at what they consider
or say they consider-pressure on
DIR norf in bobo1f IF fba ,,.+oro
ton Of moth-eaten monarchy at
the coming election in Greece.
Regardless of how much or how
little basis there may be for Rus
sian suspicious of our motives and
of our long-range policies, we can
not afford to be too sensitive when
they raise their questions. And we
cannot afford to have our admirals
and our generals sounding off for
their own qualification, no matter
how splendid their personal war rec
ords. That nobody's-d business
attitude will be remembered around
the world long after the admirals
qualification of his remark has been
forgotten. And suspicion of the
United States will be intensified not
only in Russia but among all the
little countries of the world that we
hope to have for friends.
Nobody Loves 4 Bully.
The world will never learn to love
a bully and we should not permit
any spokesman for this country to
talk like bully.
Il always get in trouble when I
talk" Admiral Halsey said before
he uttered the blast that made the
headlines. But, so far as the Navy
Department is concerned, he hasn't
appeared to be in any trouble yet.
Can this be due to the fact that he
has expressed that departments real
attitude toward the rest of the
world? 1t definitely can be.
The Navy has consistently fought

Fatal Endorsement

If Henry Wallace, private citizen, has success promoting his concept of American foreign policy than did Henry Wallace Secretary of Commerce. it won't be the fault of the American Communist Party. For the domestic Reds by inconsistency managed to ou and contradict the Wallace policy in the of endorsing It.
 MT. Wallace, in speech that ed to his Cabinet de- parure sad We should recognize that have no more business in the political affairs of Eastern Europe than Rus sia has in the political affairs of Latin America Western Europe and the United States"
 anyone who reads knows that Russia has long made business of meddlng disruptivey in the political affairs of North and South America and Western Europe through resident Communist Parties, which follow Russian policy and party line faithfully dog follows it's master.
 But just that practice had been forgotten, Will liam Foster national Communist chairman recalled it by attacking the President and American foreign policy in the speech in which he endorsed Mr. Wallace.
 He echoed recent Moscow attacks policy by telling audience of 16OO0 in Madison Square Garden Where Mr. Wallace had spoken just week before) that the Truman administration was supporting fated project of estab fishing capitalist domination the warwracked word and that Americans being propagandzed for war by drunken spree of Soviet-baiting."
 The Communist leader clearly displayed the Soviet finger in political pie But of course he would never admit the proprety of Americas inserting similar finger in the size the unsoundness of Mr. Waaces principal thesis international potcswhch Mr. Foster proesses to sup port.
 The weakness of the Wallace policy seems to be it's assumption that aggresseness largely blame for SovieAmercan misunderstanding, and that if we would stop being tough with Russia and try to understand her, most of the misunderstanding would vanish.
 Under ideal conditions the Wallace prescription would easy to follow But the Russian government has taken almost initiative toward better relations With uS It mas thwarted mutual understanding by forbddng it's citizens free intercourse and exchange of ideas with citizens of west lands It of Imperialism, and exhorts it's people to greater industrial output protection against Capitalist encircement" and inevitable war;
 gravest problem of foreign policy how to persuade Russia to stop being tough and try to understand u And it be solved either by being adaman by giving in to every Soviet demand
 Perhaps the most American policy hope to do at present create atmosphere through balance of firm and compromise in which the Kremlin will find it ex pedient to abandon plans of worldwide communism and meet us halfway the road peace world of live and let live That, it to is what present American policy with all it's mperfections rather than Mr. Waaces policy, with all it's idealism, is trying to do

Roosevelt College

CHICAGO nL-Theres something out here which everybody who is interested in tolerance in our American democratic society should sec
 It is something that should interest everyone who wants to see real intellectual freedom We don't have that yet. It is violated in of we'll known institutions occasionally, as controversies in recent years show.
 Out here is Roosevelt College So many already know about it and have contributed to it's support It grew out of the quota system in effect in many colleges for admittance of students who belong to minority groups. There are no quotas at Roosevelt Admission is open, within the limit of facilities to any student who can pass the entrance examinations whatever his race, religion or color.
 All are represented now, not only in the student body of 3,7OO but also in the faculty of 167.
 Roosevelt College is housed presently in an old office building purchased for the institution It's not like any college you ever And yet you see how real institution of learning and free inquiry it is as you wander down the corridors and peer into class rooms where you observe all races and coors There are white teachers Negro teachers, Gentle teachers Jewish teachers, Hindu, and one Chinese woman.
 Roosevelt College, which founded in 1945. is entering it's second year. It had miraculous first year. It was, for example, the first college credited after less than years operation The rule waived by the North Central Association because of the institutions standing and the fine faculty it had assembled.
 Its standing among educators is demonstrated by the fact that it has thousand applications on file from teachers in other institutions of whom expressed willingness to Roosevelt College for cut in pay Its appeal among young people eager for such educational opportunity is shown by the fact that because of limited faculties several thou sand who applied have not been able to enter.
 
 At the head of the college is a remarkable man. Dr. E. J. sparlng, it's founder and president former ly president of Central YM.C.A. College of Chi cago. He resigned from that institution because of disagreement with the governing board over issues of academic freedom and the educational rights of members of minority groups.

Democratic- c-PAC Split
by Peter EdSOn

Republicans and in fact, only lose ground if the Republicans win in November, or in 1948.
 From this point of view, what the Democrats have to do to hold their is overcome the usual apathy in off-year elections and get the voters to the polls Admittedly that is not easy. There Is Roosevelt to rally behind this tme-merely what's left of his program interpreted by Harry Truman
 Henry Wallace is said to feel that his firing may be the first step in the breakup of that strange mix the Democratic Party in recent years. Some of the liberals like to talk that way predicting that Wallace may head new political movement in this country.
 The record is all to the contrary. No political figure who has been leader of important faction in this country has ever been dropped by of the major political parties and survived. That is true of William Jennings Bryan, Theodore Roosevelt, old Bob LaFolette
 AS loses his official position, he loses his importance It's the position that makes the important, not the other way around The party always comes first. That's why Truman could afford to drop Wallace In the Franklin D Roosevelt admin istrations alone, Sumner Welles, Jesse Jones, and Donald Nelson all lost their importance when they lost their jobs That goeS too for Harold Ickes under Truman's administration.
 AS a private citizen Henry Wallace may make a lot of speeches. write a lot of articles He might even become head of P.A.C. or an American liberal party build the somewhat insecure stepping of Communist, American Labor Socialist and other minorities. The chances of any such movements getting any place extremely slim
 Some of the young enthusiasts think that re- alignment of parties in the United States is in- evitabe Maybe so. But Jack Kroll, Phil Murray, Claude Pepper, and Wallace himself have all said that third party wasn't in the cards.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-09-30

WASHINGTON Sept. 28-(NEA)-The 1914 we'd ding of the Democratic Party and the Political Action Committee is busted up There has been no for nal divorce, agreement who gets the children or the property no statement from either side But the separation is complete. Kicking Henry Wallace out of the White House Cabinet did the trick
 Even before the Wallace incident arose, Demo- cratic National Chairman Robert E. Hannegan was on record to the effect that PAC leaders carry weight in White House. Congressional, Democratic Party policy-making
 That in itself amounts to a disavowal of any Democratic PAC. alliance Dropping Wallace who was the acknowledged leader of the leftish elements in the party, makes the break permanent.
 Hannegan's view on the past relationship between the Democratic Party and the P.A.C. is that the party was on the scene first. The PAC. came along later and just happened to have program which supported the Democratic platform. It's the party that is going to go on regardless of what happens to FAC.
 Conservative Democrats will even go so far as to say that the removal of Wallace from the Cabinet strengthens the partyS chances ln November. The reasoning isn't too hard to follow.
 The present trend in the country is analysed as towards conservatism The strongest almost the only argument which the Republicans have in the present campaign is that the Democratic Party has been dom mated by radical, New Deaish elements Overcoming this argument and convincing the independent voters that it is not true is the biggest campaign problem the Democrats face.
 Conservative Democrats therefore feel they have nothing to lose by break with the left at this time They have no fear that organized labor members will vote Republican matter what the provocaton.
 The Democratic politicians argument is that or ganZed labor knows it has made all its gains under the Democratic administrations of the last IA years Labor stands to gain nothing additional from the
