RACE RELATIONS BETTERED BY
COLLEGE EXCHANGE OF STUDENTS

One of two students represent
ing Grinnell College, Iowa, Miss
Phyllis Hook, daughter of the
Rev. DR.. and Mrs. Archie H.
Hook, All E. Seth ST., Seattle,
Wash, is so busy and thrilled"
at the opportunity Of being an ex-
change students at Hampton Insti-
tute for Negroes. Hampton, Va.
that she hasn't had time to write,
her mother said last week.
Miss Hook with other white ex-
change students, entered Hampton
at the beginning of this semester.
She will be there for the one
semester only and will graduate
from Grinnell in June, 1913.
The exchange students were
chosen as a contribution toward
"closer understanding between
racial groups"
Miss Hook. an economics major,
is concerned over only one thing,
her mother said. She fears that
the publicity which the exchange
students are receiving throughout
the nation might make people
thing they were doing 1t for a
stunt"
The Rev. Mr.. Hook has been SUI
perintendent of the Washington
Conference of Congregational
Churches here since last August.
Miss Hook came West with her
parents and visited them at Christ

in Seattle. The hooks have three

consent.

GAIN in RACIAL
PROBLEMS NOTED

Widespread gains made in race
relationship under the impetus of
war are being dissipated by indif-
ference, and very serious trouble
may be ahead for this country
as result, Carey McWilliams,
author and widely known author
ity on race relations. warned here
last week.
McWilliams urged that organ
izations such as Seattle's Civic
Unity Committee be kept "alive,
growing and better organized"
McWilliams said, uneasiness is
beginning to develop in Negro
communities on the West Coast,
and it will grow if economic con-
ditions become harsh. He said APP
proximately so per cent of the
Negro population of Portland, Or.
and rs per cent of that of Van
couver, Wash, is unemployed.
Pointing to the deterioration of
race relationship since the end OF
the war, McWilliams cited a race
riot in Tennessee, six verified
lynchings last year, political cam
paigns conducted by Theodore
Bilbo of Mississippi and the late
Eugene Talmadge of Georgia,
large-scale attempts to revive the
Ku Klux Khan and the work OF
Columbians, Inc, in Georgia.
Anti-semitism, too, has become
more pronounced since the war,
McWilliams said. Il think anti
semitic groups are going full blast
at the moment-that's my impress
sion," he added.

PRESIDENT TRUMAN'S HISTORIC SPEECH
SMEARED BY AMERICAN INTOLERANCE
TWO PICTURES: ONE WHITE, ONE BLACK

Extracts from President
Truman's momentous address
to Congress asking aid for
Turkey and Greece.
ONE WAY BASED
ON INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM
"one way of life is based upon
the will of the majority, and is
distinguished by free institutions,
representative government, free ell
ections, guarantees of individual
liberty, freedom of speech and
religion and freedom from polite
al oppression.
The second way of life is based
upon the will of a minority fore
IDLY imposed upon the majority.
II relies upon terror and oppres-
sion. controlled press, and radio,
fixed elections and the suppress
sion of personal freedoms.
l believe that 1t must be the
policy of the United States to sup
port free people who are resisting
attempted subjugation by armed
minorities or by outside pressures.
believe that we must assist
free peoples to work out their
own destinies in their own way.
l believe that our help should be
primarily through economic and
financial aid which is essential to
economic stability and orderly po-
litical processes.
The world is not static, and the
status quo is not sacred. But we
cannot allow changes in the status
quo in violation of the charter of
the United Nationas by such meth
DDS as coercion, or by such sub
terfuges as political infiltration.
In helping free and Independent
nations to maintain their freedom,
the United States will be giving
effect to the principles of the
charter of the United Nations.
1t is necessary only to glance
at map to realize that the
survival and integrity of the Greek
nation are of grave Importance in
a much wider situation. 4
If Greece should fall under the
control of an armed minority, the
effect upon its neighbor, Turkey,
would be immediate and serious.
Confusion and disorder might well
spread throughout the entire Mid
die East"

Board. decides
Bargaining Unit

Washington, D. C.-The first de-
cision under the Taft-Hartley law
on the question of what constitutes
a proper bargaining unit was rem
dered by the National Labor Re-
lationS Board.
The board followed policy estab-
lished under the old Wagner act
and carried forward in the new
law. It dismissed the petition of
the AFL's Brotherhood of Electri-
cal Workers for an election among
twenty employees of the French
Broad Electric Membership Cor
poration at Marshall, N. C.
Board members held that the
unit was too small because it failed
to include the company's twenty
one other employees at Burnsville
and Bakersfield, N. C.
The N. L. R. B. assumed juris-
diction of the case on the ground
that the cooperatice utility, sold
$2,98O worth of power across the
state line in Tennessee and brought
40 per cent of $131, 900 in supplies
from sources outside North
Carolina.
