E I Q RIAL S
State Department
Favors Liberian
Minister

Washington, D. C. (NNPA) -
The State Department said last
Friday it has informally notified
President w. V. S .Tubman of
Liberia that G. d. B. King, for
mer Liberian president, will be
acceptable here as Liberian mini
ster to the United States.
The Department had previously
declined official comment on a
report from Monrovit that Mr..
King had already ben named mini
ster to this country because Lib
eria had not at that time inquired
whether he would be acceptable
to the United States.
A spokesman for the Depart
ment said Friday that an exchange
of informal notes between the
two governments has been COM
pleted and that the way is now
open for an official announcement
by President Tubman of Mr.. King
appointment.

Citizens Commit
tee Attackc Mrs.
Rethune on NcNW

Washington, d. c., - (NNPA)
= A Washington citizens commit
tee last Tuesday told Mrs. Mary
Mcleod Bethune, president OF the
en-, that it had reason to doubt
that money was the issue over
which she summarily dismissed
four of her staff employees when
they sought to have their union
recognized by the Council as
bargaining agent.
In letter signed by Mrs. Cath
crime Hurley, committee chair
man, and sent to Mrs. Bethune
Goodman College, Daytona Beach.
Florida, the committee said it be-
lieved "unequivocally'' in the right
of employs to join a union of their
choice and added that it had sup
ported her leadership for many
years with the understanding that
this was her philosophy also.
The committee said it could
not understand what new and
undisclosed motivation, or other
factors" had caused Mrs. Beth
une to shife in the pro labor stand
which she had espoused for so
long.
The letter reminded Mrs. Beth
une that prior to the decision of
the Councils executive committee
to fire the four union employees
Mrs. Bethune had treasured the
employees that she was sym
pathetic with their detectives.
Reports were being circulated
here last tweek that Mrs. Bethune
had been at odds with her exc
cutive committee when the de-
cision was reached to fire the
Council staff. 1t is known that be-
fore the committe met Mrs. Beth
une had stated to the employees
that she favored a union.
1t is also known that Mrs. Beth
une left Washington presumably
before the decision to fire the en-
ployees was reached, but was call
ed back to personally announce
the decision of the committee to
the employees.
The citizens committee last
urged Mrs. Bethune to
call an emergency session of the
executive : Committee to reinstate
the discharged employees.

Two Of the greatest anthropol,

through morphologival modifi-

A CROSS, OR A TORCH, OR A LIVING TREE?

Each of us has burden to CORY Each OF us has ood

Whot we moke of these burdens, depends upon our
selves alone They ore our load of wood, which alone
con carry.
To some their burdens cross under which the
BODY bowed The voont moy strive to carry the cross
but eoch step becomes more difficult the load weighs
down the spirit and tires the heart few glory in moryr
dom but being martyr is lonely life.
To others their burdens torch Out of the dead
wood of their lives they make flaming beacon 10 light
the way ahead for those who follow They their
rows brovey they face them boldly. The light they give
forth is the high flame of courage frightening the paths
of those around them.
Still others make of their burdens living tree. They
assume the thonkess task of planting their gres that
out of them may grow living thing tree which will
give shade and comfort TO the weary traveller place of
beauty in the world where the song of nesting birds may
bring sooce the the Ieoy branches give rest to
the heart They tend their SORROWS remember them
but because their gefs have made them wormheorted
ready to give to Others even shat which they may
possess for themselves.
To bear sorrow broveIy is noble thing But, think
to bear burden grociousy the better port Once knew
who living life of what seemed utter dudg

whose burden she was trying to lift When someone
commseroted with her her lot and commented on her
cheerful eonsiderote attitude in face of provocotion she
said well, if going to be martyr, the least do
is to be gracious one There no senes in both of
being uncomfortable"
I've remembered thot and in my dark hours have
tried to follow her teachings She planted living tree
whose seed has been sown far and wide.
We can make our branches cross, or torch or

UNAvA Not Off,
ciaIly Recognized
By VA

Washington, D. G. Feb. (NNPA)
The Solicitors Office of the Veter-
ans Administration said here last
Thursday that the VA has not
yet officially recognized the Uni
ter Negro and Allied Veterans of
America as a veterans organiza.
ton and that it was unable to
predict when any such action
would be taken.
Reminded that General Omar N.
Bradley had said last month that
accreditation of UNAVA was be-
fore him for consideration and
immediate attention." spokes-
man for the Solicitor said some
times immediate attention is long
er than Immediately"
UNAVA applied for VA accred-
itation last October. No colored
veterans organization has ever
been officially accredited by the
VA. Such accreditation would en-
title UNAVA to represent veter-
ans in claims before VA pension
boards and would also gice the
organization the benefit of free
office space and paid stenographic
service at VA offices.

ditions in colored schools in Prin-
cess Anne County, Virginia.
The award to Mr.. Walker was
based OH his column in the Cleye-
land Call and Post i'll which he
advocated good citizenship and
in terracial homarmony.
In his speech Justice Gran-fur-
ter made no reference to the col
ored press or the Negro prob
lems.- He remained ric aud
fence, however, that it was not
because he had occasion to think
and worry about the race prob
lem in this country recalling that
before his appointment to the
Supreme Court he was counsel for
the National Association for the
Advancement Colored People.
Speaking in a philosophical
vein, Justice Franfurther said
the kind of civilization cherished
is a society in which the dignity
of every Individual central, re-
gardless of the accidents of an
tecedents, society in which there
are no unimportant people, a SOC
iety in which institution are pro-
gressively to be shaped so as
to bring to maximum fruition
the potentialities ON men.
He added that The answer to
the defects of our society is
not denial of the democratic faith
The answer is more loyal prac-
tice of that faith.
Mr.. Stanley told his hears that
discrimination involves not on
ly race but inner weaknesses, in
security and fear and thot no
newspaper performs its complete
function unless it consistently
ellis the truth unremittingly-,
The colored press, he said has
the double function of tbpectively
reporting the news as affecting
all people and more particularly
it's leadership and it must fl
ght race hate, bigotry and Soc
ial fear.
He advocated that the great
American press attack racial
tyranny and injustice with in
telligence, vigor and vision I'M
till every clear thinking citizen
is made aware that oppresson be-
cause of accident of birth con on
ly produce continued tourmoil and
destroy all chances to full en-
joyment of the American way of
life.
About 200 leading writer's, ed
itors and publishers, representing

prepareth a table before me in
the presence of my enemies My
cup runneth over. Surely goodness
and mercy shall follow me all the

Our enemies magnify our little

AS we evolve ash uman beings

It is very dangerous thing to

A white man, black man, Jew,
