Hampshire are two of the clubs
best golfers and constant habitues,
Landra and Ginger Platt, and back
from a seasonal sojourn in Maine
are Dick and Stacy johnson. Good
looking brunette Stacy is on the
Chevy Chase Club golf team. An
other one of those enthusiastic
chasers of the white pill on the
fairway is Ellie Israel, who just
missed winning The Star Cup in
the handicap tournament last Tues
day. She and her husband, Philip,
left Wednesday with the Bill Rap
leys for Oyster Harbor where all
will remain until after Labor Day
Lazing in or about the pool the
other day were Nancy Rayenel, who
said she and husband Henry were
fresh from Rehoboth; the Edgar
ProchnikS who were likewise, and
Polly ODonoghue with houseguest,
Pat Ridsdale Somers. The latter,
who was being welcomed back by
every one on hand, has been living
in Greenwich, Conn, since 194l
but said that she is coming back
to Washington to live as soon as
she can find the usual required
shelter. Nancy, who was full of
news about. the James Nolans' new
abode in the Delaware resort, will
take off again on the Oath. Ac-
companied by Pat Eaton, she will
motor down to The Chimneys, home
of her parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Lee
Benoist, near Hot Springs. She and
Pat will collect their respective two
sons each from a nearby camp
before returning to- Washington.
The wide beach, excellent bath

Washingtonians than any other one
resort in the country. Linda and
Ed Goodrich have lovely place
there, only three blocks distance
from the beach, yet right on the
canal. where their cruiser Is docked.
Jimmy and Ellen Nolan's large, new

THE COMMON DEFENSE
LET'S HAVE MORE OF THIS
By Rev. William c. Kernon

There may have been time in recent years when
NOT too mony Christian clergymen were aware OF the
dangers TO country steng from bgoty and prejudice
But that time is rapidly passing if it hosnt altogether
passed away.
A good example of the oertness of Christians to

curty and peace of free society only this June
from the Reverend John Soron. Methodist minister in
MoysvIIe, Michigan.
AS told in TINE for July 1st the Rev. Mr. Saffron was
addressing high school graduating class and had the
courage 10 depart from the pIottudes often to
such occasions to remind his audience that things
in this land we're not what they ought to be.

in his own community, pointed them out with unreeved

about it by benq fair and just the Negroes who lived
nearby.
Nor is this all Mr. Willard Johnson, Assistant to the
President of the National Conference OF Chrisons and

TRUMAN WARNS AGAINST INITIATION
EVEN AS HE SIGNS BILL

Washington - President Truman signed the new

Congress that if it proves inadequate he will call special

The bill was signed at 305 p. m. July Is and at thot
moment and price ceilings which osped June 80 went
back into force, except on items specifically exempted
Two hours later the president sent notice to Con-
qress to place on the record statement that the meas
ure falls far short of being with which his admins
trotion could guarantee Stable prices" But he said,
while the present by means guarantees that
infIoon can be avoided it offers enough promise that
he was willing to accept and try it.
He declared that because of its "defects and the
months of delay by Congress in passing it, it is all the
more apparent that more extensive of the power of al
locating scarce materials may be required and that stern
er fiscal and momentoy hon would otherwise
be coIIed for may prove to be necessary"
He called on customers and business men to cooper

infotion," and said:
IF it appears that all the efforts of the government
and the people will be enough under the present leg

Plan to Establish
Two Graduate
Schools In Texas
TRAINING IN LAW, MEDICINE,
LIBERAL ARTS TO BE PARITY
WITH TEXAS u.
REVAMP PRAIRIE
VIEW COLLEGE

Houston, Texas, Especially -
Plans for the immediate establish
ment of two institutions of High
er Learning for Negro Citizens
of Texas have been virtually COM
pleted since the ruling of the
Texas Supreme Court few days
ago. favoring the admission of
Herman Marion Sweat, a Negro
War Veteran, to the law school
of the University of Texas.
According to reports of joint
meeting of the University of Tex
as and A. and M. College, the plan
is to erect a new university for
Negroes here that will provide col
lege and graduate studies in law,
medicine, and liberal arts on a
parity with the University of
Texas at Austin and to overhaul
the state Negro Agricultural
School at Prairie View which was
given the status of a University
last year.
The report said, "restablished
at Prairie View the College for
Negroes offering instruction in
agriculture and the mechanic arts,
including engineering and provid-
ing both under graduate and grad
uate instruction in these fields,
as we'll as certain other vocation
al courses and teachers training
now being offered at this institu-
ton, and to conform with the re-
quirements of the Land-Grant
College Act.
Forgall other instruction, both
graduate and under graduate, es-
tablish a first class university for
Negro citizens, preferably at
Houston, to be supervised by the
Board of Regents of the Universe
ty of Texas, if so determined by
the legislators to the end that
all courses of study at the Uni
versity of Texas or the Agriculur-
al and Mechanical College of Tex
as will be provided at one of the
two institutions.
In handing down his decision
in the Sweat Case, District Judge
Roy G. Archer gave the state six
months in which to provide equal
higher education for Negro Citi-
zens of the state or admit Sweat
to the University of Texas.
Governor Coke Stevenson has
! not yet been contacted for COM
ment on the proposed plans, but,
he said recently, that he is not yet
ready to submit the matter of Ne
gro Education as a subject for
consideration by a Special Session
| of the legislature.

Education Held
Need of Southern
Leadership

The South needs leadership
which education can provide, the
Rev. Frederick o. Hughes, di-
rector of the Catholic Committee
of the South told members of the
Loyola University summer ses-
sion graduating class last Satur-
day.
"Here is a challenge to teach
ers," Father Hughes said. "There
is a new South coming which will
be great only if it has right lead
ership. It is our task to train
these leaders, task which means
hours, days and years of constant
service on the part of those who
teach. The teaching profession
carries responsibilities, but its re-
ward is a sweet one."
The very Reverend Thomas j.
Shields, S. j. President of Loyalo
administered the charge to the
graduates and conferred the de-
grees at Holy name of Jesus
School auditorium. There was one
honor graduate, Brother Andre
Robichaud, S. c., who received
his degree " Magma Cumlaude.'

lumber sawed on the tract. The
owner of a portable sawmill came
in and sawed oak and gum lum-
Der and a contract was let by the
FSA to the contractor, E. B. KEEL
ley, of Winona, to build the
barns. Since the lumber was not
thoroughly dry the siding on the
ba- rs were Tapped SO that when
the lumber drew-up no cracks
would be left.
The 10 barns made from salv-
age material were constructed
from material obtained when two
LARGE nIautation barns were torn
down.
in addition to building these
barns, seven of the FSA borrowers
have built smoke houses, chicken
houses and sanitary toilets from
either the salvaged lumber or
from lumber cut on the tract. the

The Baha'i doctrine of the uni
ty of mankind strikes at the root
of another cause of war, namely,
racial prejudice. Every race is
of equal value in the sight of god.
All have wonderful innate capa-
cities which only require suitable
education for their development,
and each can play a part, which,
instead of improvshing, will en-
rich and complete the life of
all the other members of the body
of humanity. "Abdu'l-Baha says
Conserving the prejudice of
race; it is illusion, a superstition
pure and simple, for God created
us all of one race !. Why should
man invent such prejudice?
God has not created men
that they should destroy one an
other. All races, tribes, sects and
classes share equally in the boun-
ty of their Heavenly Father. The
only real difference lies in the
degree of faithfulness, of obedi-
ence to the laws of God. There are
some who are as lighted torches
there are others who shine as
stars in the sky of humanity. The
lovers of mankind, there are the
superior men, of whatever ma
ton, creed or color they may be-

NEW YORK DAILY UNDER
ATTACK FOR NEW BIAS
Confined from Page

Then he stated, unabashedly and
with a straight face, that The
News expects, in it's proposed ra-
dio station, to retain the same
high standard of accuracy" as
in its newspaper.
Startling and highly scientific
statistics comparing the treatment
of Jews and Negroes in the news
columns of the Daily News to that
in all New York City morning
newspapers during two three
month periods, in 1916 and 1916,
were submitted by DR.. Alexander
H. Pekelis, Chief Consultant to
the AJC, and Leila Sussman, New
York sociologist. The survey re-
vealed that more than half of
the space devoted by the Daily
News to Jews and Negroes during
this period was definitely unfav-
orable, while SO per cent of the
space devoted to news about Jews
and Negroes by the New York
Times and Herald Tribune was
favorable in character.
Taking the stories on Negroes
alone the statistics are even more
revealing of anti-minority bias
on the part of the News. The
survey revealed that more than
three-quarters of the space de-
voted by the Daily News to Ne
groes during this period was I'M
favorable while SO per cent of
the space devoted to news about
Negroes by the Herald-Tribune in
the same period was favorable in
character. The general average
for New York morning papers, a.
part from the Daily News but
including Hearst's Daily Mirror,
was sc per cent favorable.
Similar analyses in the SO chart
submitted in the survey and bas-
ed or such factors as space, num-
Der and prominence of stories,
pictures, ETC., revealed, according
to DR.. Pekelis, consistently great
er unfavorable emphasis in the
treatment of stories about Jews
and Negroes in the Daily News
than in all other morning papers.
To show further the News bias
against Negroes, the AJC intro
duced a column by Jimmy Powers,
sports writer, defending the color
line in baseball, Dan d. Dodson,
executive director of the Mayors
Committee on Unity, testified that
the Mayors Committee on Base
ball had issued release denounc-
ing the Powers column as stirring
up racial strife and hindering in
terracia1 relations.
Several hundred witnesses ap-
peared at the hearing to testify
as to the validity of a petition
signed by 100000 New Workers
opposing the grant of an FIN Ii
cense to the Daily News. The
Hearing officer declined to hear
these witnesses on the grounds
that tn articles in the News, on
which their views we're based,
were alrady submitted in evil
dence.
Earlier in the hearing, Louis
G. Caldwell, attorney for the News
objected strenously to any exam
nation of the policies of the News
as an infringement of freedom of
the press. Mr.. J. Alfred Guest, the
Hearing officer, overruled the OBJ
lection on the grounds that the
way a newspaper is conducted in
dicates how it will operate radi-
O station. He said that the rul-
ing was made after consultation
with the full Federal Communica-
ton Commission in Washington.
