Carver L0bs Use
Temporary Office
After Recent Fire

TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE. ALA.
1947-Although a fire Of unde-
termined origin virtually destroyed
the laboratories Of the George
Washington Carver foundation.
Nov. "a, temporary offices have
been set up in the Science building
where the activities Of the Founda-
ton will be carried on until further
notice.
On January 5, 1913, the first day
Of sale for the Sc stamp honoring
DR.. Carver will be held at Tuskegee
institute, as previously announced.
Plans are underway TO make this a
noteworthy occasion despite the dis
astrOus fire.
At special meeting Of the Board
Of Directors Of the Carver Founda-
ton, a 100000 endowment fund
campaign was voted TO be launched
concurrently with the issuance Of
the Carver Commemorative Stamp,
January 5, 1913.
In addition. efforts will now be
made to enlarge the campaign TO
include funds for new and modern
building to house the laboratories
Of the Carver foundation and Agri-
cultural Experiment station. This
viii lead to a separate housing for
the museum and art collection and
the laboratories.
Temporary laboratories are al
ready being set up to carry on the
various research projects underway
at the time Of the fire. None Of the
outside research projects will seri-
ously suffer because Of the fire.

Il read with advertisement on the
front page Of the Baltimore Morn
ing Sun, dated October -, that
your committee requested Donald
K. RichbsrE 10 file a brief on the
pending fair employment practice
legislation. Apparently, he lacked
the courage 70 come out ard testify
against the measure when the regu-
lar hearings were being held dur
ing the spring. From the argu-
ments presented | can well under
stand why he would prefer TO make
a sneak attack in the form Of
brief filed under circumstances
which would not permit cross ex-
animation.
"His arguments are too con-
temptibIe to be answered in detail,
but wish TO submit what con-
slider q most devastating reply
which / have lifted from the pages
Of Catholics, Race and Law by that
distinguished citizen, the Most Rev
srend Francis J. Haas, Bishop Of
Grand Rapids:
Here unquestiOnably is the
most fundamental argument Of
all for n statutory FEPC. II
starts from the premise that 4
man has certain rights that his
Creator has placed in him; that
among these rights Ii his inyiOl-
able right 10 live by honest work;
and that no other man may In
conscience shut him OF from eX-
ercising any one Of these rights
-. Is II not more honorable and
much more in keeping with
Christian faith TO start from the
premise that the workers right
to q job and his right 20 self
Improvement are his rights be-
cause God gave them TO him7
To the Christian, all Of the links
Of the chain iit together. To him,
the Negro. or the member Of any
minority" Is just as precious a.
any one else in the sight Of God,
and therefore no one else has the
right 70 exclude him from exer.
eiSing his GOd-given rights.
Rather everyone has a duty be-
fore God TO help him as a broth

full way. Is this anything less
than genuine AmerieAnism! II

but the university is just as respon-
sible for the dormitory as It is for
the class room. It is quite possible
that a university teaches one
thing in its class room and prac-
tees another in its dormitories.
And it is just as possible that any
young person would select the prin-
ciples or philosophy that the uni
yersity practiced rather than the
ones which it preached.
The main thing to remember,
however, is that education" can
he. and often is, misleading. Edu-
cation is in reality a learning proc.
ess Of everyday life. The schools
are educational, the movies are
educational, the radio is educa-
tional, a job can be educational
even walking down a street can
be educational. But no one can
guarantee that this education"
will take a positive or negative
form with respect to race and race
relations.
Bigotry and hatred-racial, reli-
gious, and political-are on the in
crease in the United States. Any
person or any group who advocate
education as the only means Of at
tack is helping these TO triumph in
the near future. Wherever bigotry
and hatred have succeeded in es-
tablishing themselves, they must be
fought uncompromisingly with ev-
cry available weapon, for TO depend
only upon education is to retreat
from the field of battle and hand
victory to the forces Of bigotry and
hatred by default.

What of Education
AS Cure for Bias?
BY Thomas l.. Anderson

and died knowing as little about the
rest Of the world as her mother and
her aunts.
or course, the brother was
pleased and congratulated her on
her good marks. Then he told her
about his activities that year, that
he had been elected an interna-
tiOnal representative for his union.
He also described his work on the
anti discrimination committee
which was attempting to better the
lot Of the Negro not only in in
dustry but in community life in
general. He was shocked at her
reply that she felt he could do
better than concern himself with
a bunch Of shiftless, dirty Ne
grOes." He asked her where she
had gotten this impression, as he
knew that before going to the uni
versity, she hadn't seen more than
two or three Negroes in her life.
But she persisted that Negroes
were always pushing" and always
trying to get where they aren't
wanted" He asked her whether
she had had any personal eXpe-
rienee with Negroes which made
her feel antagOnistic toward them
as a race. She replied that she
hadn't. but that everyone in her
dOrmitOry was scared that Negro
girls would be permitted to live in
the dOrmitory the following year.
The brother, by this time greatly
disturbed, inquired why they should
not be permitted to live there; TO
which the girl replied rather petu-
lantly that he just didn't under
stand, that in a dormitory il was
best that all the girls get along
well. She went on to say that
they had six Jewish girls in the
dormitory, and despite the fact that
the Jewish girls were snubbed and
assigned to live in one wing Of ne
building, they continued TO live
there although it was obvious they
weren't wanted. According TO her
Dean, Negroes would be worse than
Jews
Here are two young Americans.
Both had experienced some hu-
initiation and unpleasant expert
ences because Of their nationality.
Both had had very limited contact
with other minority groups in
America. The radio. the movies,
and the newspaper were their chief
sources Of information about other
minority groups. The boy after
finishing high school went TO work.
where he became active in the local
union. Either because the union,
on n national scale. was interested
in fighting segregation and dis
elimination or because he himself
had suffered from these things. he
chose to fight the pattern in which
these evils flourished
The girl. on the other hand, after
finishing high school was sent to
one Of the most famous universities
in the country. Here, in spite Of
the fact that at home she too had
been socially oStracized because of
national descent, she developed in
to a bigot This ia. the contradic-
ton. A national union had taken
a young man and had made him
into a fighter for the principles Of
democracy Of which we as a nation
are proud.
A university, which prides itself
on being \ seat Of learning for the
development Of better citizens. ae-
tually had aided and Allotted
biEOtry.
1t is true that the girl did not
get these values in the class room:
she got them in the dormitory,

Many people who oppose any
drastic action or militant handling
Of the problem Of race relations
generally do so on the ground that
such change might cause a de-
terioration in race relations. They
claim that rising standards Of edu-
cation will gradually solve the
race" problem. AS evidence sub
Stimulating this thesis, they point
out the advancement in the field Of
race relations since the Civil War.
But the term education" as they
generally use it is loose one
which can be interpreted in many
ways.
For instance, a child Of eight re-
ceives his education from many
sources. He is taught in the school.
He learns in his home. He absorbs
knowledge from the movies, the
radio, and many other mediums.
And inasmuch as most of these
mediums are not subjected TO any
one type Of influence, children grow
into adults with varied and con-
fused ideas not only about race
and race relations, but also on all
Of the issues confronting the people
Of America today. Certainly no
one can say which means Of edu-
cation will most impress any given
child.
An interesting case which H.
illustrates this point is that of a
brother and sister who were raised
in a small town where their par
ticular national group (the Finns)
were in a minority. While they
were not subjected to any legal
form Of discrimination, they felt
isolated because they were not ac-
cepted socially and because Of the
frequent and common jokes about
the Firms. The father and the two
older sons supported the family by
working on the iron range. Even
tually this industry was organized
by the Clio. and they became very
active in the union. One Of the
boys was elected 10 a job within
the union which required him TO
travel extensively. He went into
regions where Negroes were nu-
merous. In the past he had bitterly
resented the indignities suffered by
the Finnish minority in his small
home town, but here in the big
cities Of America, he found another
group Of people-the Negroes
treated in a way that he had not
dreamed possible. The indignities
his nationality had experienced
were laughahle in contrast. His
provinciality was a great surprise
to him. And so he determined TO
take an active part in the fight
Of the clio against racial discrim-
ination, and he also determined
that his younger sisters and broth
ers should have the advantage of
a broader education than his
father, mother, older brother, or he.
When he returned home, he eX-
hOrted his sister to get better
grades in high school, for he
wanted her to be the first in his
family 10 have a university edueA-
ton. Within a few years, the sis
ter finished high school All Of the
family happily contributed money
50 she could have a wardrobe that
would compare fAyOrAbly with
other girls clothes on the campus,
The girl enjoyed her first year
at the university, and a few days
after she returned home, she and
her brother discussed the events Of
the past year. She told him that
she was very glad that she hac
been able TO 20 to college. II she
had not gone, she might have hved

quality legumes. Ground alfalfa,
lespedeza or soybean hay can be
substituted for about two pounds of
grain in each cows diet.
Discussing beef cattle, Mr.. Ander-
son said it has always been question
able whether grain feeding during
the winter was profitable practice
in this area. If good roughage is
substituted for grain as winter feed
for the county's 10000 head of beef
cattle, two pounds of grain would be
saved each day for 1s0 days, making
total of 100000 pounds.
In addition, he said, beef pro-
ducers should not overstock so as to
assure good supply of good pas
lures next year. Cattle then could
be sold off pastures without the sc
to 80 day fall grain feeding period
necessary. If cattle are sold of
pasture, it should mean grain saw.
ing of 100000 pounds for the
county, since the 5000 head sole
each year average about 20 pounds
a day for about As days
Other Steps in Program.
Other points in the program
! include:
Hogs-Use good legume hay anc
tankage along with grain. Tht
would save IL pounds of grain g
day for 16,508 hogs for 18O days.
4,457 ,000-pound saving. BY selling
hogs when gains slow down, at about
ITS pounds instead of 225 pounds
another 100000 pounds of grain
could be saved
Rats-Kill them, don't feed them
Rats destroy as much as they eat,
and by killing the rat population,
numbering about 10000, about 100
pounds of grain per rat could be
saved. This amounts to about g.
100000 pounds.
Many Montgomery County farm
ers, Mr.. Anderson said, will have
other ideas and suggestions on saw
ing grain.
While many may not follow the
program" he said, IF half of the
county farmers carry it out they will
have contributed their share toward
feeding hungry world, without loss
Of net income to themselves and
their families.
Most important, it will start
farmers thinking of the many posi-
bilities available for the more eco
nomic production of farm COM
modities."
