some kind readers may be able to

be done about putting up curtain

and there are too many holes in the

to do a new plastering job so soon
and also there is wall paper over

USING SEA SHELLS?

From Mrs. A. p, Washington)
When I was a child I collected
very small sea shells from the Gulf
of Mexico. I stored them away and
I lust took them out wondering if
there was something I could do with
them. I have box full of them.
I would like to do something such
as covering boxes etc, but I don't
know how to go about it, Also is
there any way to put small holes in
them without breaking them so that
my little girl can string them?

u. 5. Draws Up Bill
OF Rights for World
To Be Offered u. n,
BY The Associated Press

The people of all the world, this
Government believes, should enjoy
all rights guaranteed Americans,
plus the rights of health, education,
social security and a decent living.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt will
propose such a world bill of rights
TO the United Nations Commission
on Human Rights meeting in
Geneva. She is en- route there as a
United States representative.
Russia has drafted a rival docu-
ment.
Although intended for adoption
by the U. N, the American draft
would carry no obligation on the
part Of any government to carry
out its aims. Rather, it urges 'the
peoples of the world to promote the
rights and freedoms hereby pro-
claimed"
Includes Freedom of Information.
They include freedom of informa-
tion and the right of every one to
take an effective part in his gov
ernment."
, Officials of the State, Justice,
Labor and Interior Departments
helped write the draft. patterned
after but enlarging on the Bill of
Rights to the United States Con-
xtitution.
In making public the text last
night. the State Department said
that even though all these rights
are not Immediately obtainable by
every one everywhere in the world,
they are included on the theory
that they are fundamental and
should be the rights of every indi-
vidual."
Text Of U. S. Plan.
The following is the text of the
United States proposal:
PROPOSAL FOR A DECLARATION
OF HUMAN RIGHTS.
Whereas, by the charter of the
United Nations all members affirm
their faith in the dignity and worth
of the human person and pledge
themselves to cooperate in promot-
ing respect for human rights and
fundamental freedoms for all.
Now, therefore, the General As
sembly Of the United Nations re-
solves to set forth in a solemn
declaration these essential rights
and fundamental freedoms OF man.
and calls upon the peoples of the

the community.

world, is entitled to the human
rights and fundamental freedoms

gate complaints of discrimin- ation and take effective steps to remedy such discrimination when it Is found. This body would serve pending the estab- llshment of a Fair Employ ment Practice Commission by Congress.
 Tn order to operate success fully, this agency would need to be clothed with the autno1- lty to order the hiring of specific individuals who are discriminated against and the disciplining of employees who wilfully violate the principles set forth in your letter of Dec ember IS, 1945 to government agencies.
 Because of the long range implications of any new hiring which takes place in govern ment, if discrimination S allowed to go unchecked all of the wartime gains of colored government employees will be wiped out. There will be sub stituted the pre-war pattern of using colored individuals prim- arlly In messenger and labor ing capacities in the govern ment.
 Tt is sincerely hoped that you will take favorable action on this matter"

Rail Discrimination Held Valid By HCC

New York - The NAACP legal staff today disclosed that the Interstate Commerce Com mission has ruled that the prac- tlce of the Southern Railway of reserving one table for Ne groes in it's dining car is not a violation. The Commission agreed, however, that the re- fusal of a railway to seat a Negro passenger in a dining car when white passengers are occupying tables set aside for Negroes does come under the heading of undue and unreas- onable prejudice and disad- vantage" according to the In terstate Commerce Act.
 A minority opinion held that a ruling in a prior case estab- lished the invalidity of segrega- tion because of race in inter- state travel on a carrier sub ject to the authority of the In- terstate Commerce Act. The NAACP is now studying the possibilities of appealing the decision, which arose out of the case of Mays vs. Southern Rail way Go. The railway had re- fused to seat Dr. Benjamin Mays of Warehouse College in one of its dining cars.

NAACP Head Demands Explode FaIIaCieS

Walter White, testifying be- fore the Presidents Commit tee on Civil Rights, part of which was broadcast over the Mutual Broadcasting Network, lashed out at several fallacies which have seriously impeded the course of our nation to- ward true democracy" MT. White declared that. the belief that the solution to problems of segregation, discrimination, race violence and the violation of the civil rights of minori- ties, should be left to the states and to private enterprise was dangerously false and must be exploded. Another fallacy subjected to the ire of the NAACP head was the oft repeated adage that efforts to eliminate from the American scene race hatreds and preju- dice should follow the slow process of education and can not be done by law.
 Hitler Is dead but his spirit still lives, declared the veteran race relations expert, pointing to the growing rise of bigotry, the virtual denial to Negroes of the the protec- tion afforded by law, the fla grant violation of the right to earn an honest living. "The idealism generated during the war has been replaced by greed, fear and hate. and this is the surest way to com munism," said MT. White.
 The NAACP head empha- sized the fact throughout his testimony, that he considered the work of the Committee of utmost imporance in our naion today. If it's recommend ations are followed by the Congress and the people, there Is hope for the democratic procedure"
 Over the objections of his physicians, who have prescrib- ed long rest, MT: White in sisted upon appearing in Washington to testify before the Presidents Committee. During his testimony he reco- mmended several measures which "should help reaffirm the basis American belief in democracy for all" Among his recommendations was the need for an immediate change in the anti-filibuster rule from a two-thirds vote to a simple majority vote. He held out no hope unless this change was instituted i'll the Congress sional rules. With a pointed reference to our attacks a. gainst Russia's use of the veto while small group in our Senate has repeatedly resorted to the filibuster, MT. White directed the attentions of the Committee members to our resultant failure to pass an anti-lynching bill, anti-poll tax legislation and the exclusion
