REASONS FOR
THANKSGIVING
BY Emma Smith Jackson

There is always some good
reason why Thanksgiving should
be observed. Thanksgiving Is
strictly an American holiday and
it is right that it should be such
because here in America we, more
than anybody else, have cause to
be thankful the most, even in
the darkest days of the depres-
sion when turkeys were cheap
but not so cheap that many could
afford them. We had cause to be
thankful for hope and prospect
of brighter tomorrow. And that
tomorrow came and, let it be said
to the credit of the people, they
did not fail to give thanks to
The Almighty for giving them the
leadership to guide them from the
depths of the depression.
Certainly there are good times
and bad but all things considered,
we in America are so far above
the rest of the world in standards
of living, In blessings of worldly
nature, and in the conveniences
and good things of life that 1t
sometimes actually seems unbe-
ievable. Take an Englishman or
Norwegian or a Spaniard or an
Australian anyone you might
would be only too glad
to exchange places with you.
This has been known since its
founding as "the land of oppor-
tunity." 1t is still the land of
opportunity for those who are
willing to work. But there is an
other think: You've got to have
protection against fouls and dirty
mitigating" by some of the peo-
pie you are going to come up
against. We can offer, with our
thanksgiving, a silent prayer that
the future course of the worlds
events may be so wisely and rea-
sonably charted that armed con-
flict may never again engulf a
world which, if properly cultivat-
ed and cared for, could yield for
everyone the full and beneficial
life we here enjoy.

The Armistice Day Dance given
at Service Club No. 8, November
II, was beautiful affair. The
display of flags throughout the
club was a patriotic gesture on
the part of our Service Club
Hostess Mrs. Katherine Lazard
and Miss Marjorie Polk. The mu-
sic by the Macson Trio and some
so lovely ladies' helped to make
the evening a successful one.

A Communist victory in the Italian
election, he said, would mean the
frst major success of Communism
outside the iron curtain, which has
been heretofore pretty we'll defined
by the high tide of the advances and

succeeds like success, and in the

New Western Alliance
May Seek Guarantee
OF u. 5. Military Aid
By The AssoeioteI Press

LONDON. Mar. l3.-Europe's
newly created Western alliance may
soon seek firm guarantees of United
States military support in the event
1t is called on to fight in self
defense, 1t was reported today.
Responsible diplomatic officials
said the five countries in the pact
Britain, France, Belgium, the Meth.
erlands and Luxembourg-agreed at
Brussels on collective security action
against any aggressor only after
they had threshed out among them
silves the possible American posi-
ton.
From the same sources came in
formation. that the five delegations
concurred in the. belief the United
States diplomatic policy, regardless
OF party, is now committed to active
participation in European affairs.
VIII Sign Pact Wednesday.
The five delegations completed the
pact at Brussels yesterday. It is
to be signed by the five Foreign
Ministers Wednesday.
The diplomats in the negotiations
at Brussels were reported to want
more than assurance of American
interest in European affairs. They
want assurance that the United
States will step in swiftly and forci-
bly, If trouble comes.
Their reported attitude Is that such
an on-the-record assurance would
be a powerful deterrent to any ag-
gressor. ..-
Out OF this exchange of views, dip
1omats said, was born a tentative
plan to press the United States for
a definite commitment.
Grave Problem for Congress.
Such action would present the
United States Congress with grave
problem. 1t would ask an extension
Of policy under which the United
States already has:
l. Used dollars to block the spread
Of Communism In Greece and Tur-
key.
2. Developed close military CO.
operation with Britain through the
war-created combined chiefs of staff.
3. Built its own Western Hem
isphere defense pact calling for mil
itary cooperation
The Brussels conference alliance
underscored growing reluctance to
rely upon the United Nations, still
without q police force, for security,
although the pact is in the form of
a regional association under the
United Nations.

New Action 10 Fight
Youth Crime Asked
AT Legion Forum

A community conference In the
washington area to develop q plan
Of unified action on the problem
OF juvenile delinquency was called
for last night on a radio forum by
G. Howard Shaw, former Assistant
Secretary Of State.
Mr.. Shaw, who is chairman of
Attorney General Clark's Continu-
Ing Committee on Prevention and
Control OF Juvenile Delinquency,
spoke over Station VOL on forum
conducted by the American Legion.
Col. Owen G. Holleran, Legion Dis
trict Commander, acted as media
tor and Joseph F. Rogers, chairman
OF its Juvenile Participation Com
mittee, also spoke.
I'm this conference" Mr.. Shaw
declared, leaders chosen by the
youngsters themselves should par
ticipate, togethef with all agencies
directly or indirectly interested in
youngsters. When this conference
has determined exactly what the
local problem in the Washington
area Is, the next step is to mobolize
the community behind the united
plan of action"
Mr.. Shaw declared that mobilizing
the community will be a long and
difficult job and may take years,
And, he stressed, once the commun-
ity is mobilized it must stay so until
the plan is in operation.
Need of Entertainment.
He pointed out that together with
the press and radio, the American
Legion and all veterans organiza-
tions can play an important part in
promoting such conference and
in translating the plan into action.
Mr.. Shaw, who is a member of
the Board of Visitors of the Ma
tlonal Training School, said in be-
half OF the boys that there Is q
definite need of entertainment as
well as help in the sponsorship
PROGRAM. There are always boys at
such schools who either have no
relatives or whose relatives live far
away. To have somebody come to
see them while they are at school
means a lot. Then when the boy
leaves he needs a friend who will
keep in touch with him and help
him make good"
Mr.. Rogers said that through its
So posts the Legion in this district
Is already working on a plan for
furnishing volunteers to existing
local social agencies, boys clubs and
settlement houses, as well dis rem
dering its active support to the
Junior Police and Citizens Corps
He explained that the Legion already
has begun a program which will
bring its individual posts in direct
contact with the National Training
School for Boys. /, 80.
Meeting Thursday.
Some of the Legion'S most ac-
tive posts are presently sponsoring
public boxing exhibitions and en-
tertainment conducted by boys from
the Training School," he said. THE
purpose is to stimulate public in
terest in the boys and to develop
the sponsorship program"
At 8 pm, next Thursday the
Internal Revenue Post will have it's
regular meeting at Stansbury Hall,
Georgia and Missouri avenues NV.
At the meeting, which will be open
to ladies, there will be boxing bouts
and speakers furnished by the
youngsters at the National Training
School. The youngsters will point
out the need of sponsors for the
individual boys.

Open Talks Tomorrow
On Permanent Union
BY the Assoelatsd Prsss

PARIS, Mar. 13.-With 4 hopeful
eye cooked on the United States
Congress, statesmen Of 16 Western
nations converged on the French
capital today to create a permanent
European organization. p
Their meetings begin Monday aft
ernoon.
For the first time since the wal
German political leaders from the
western zones probably will sit with
representatives of the Western Al
lied powers In studying European
economic problems, French officials
said.
Both France and Britain, in &C.
coroance with decisions at the re-
cent London conference on German
issues, will propose that the 16 ma
tlons invite military government
delegates and German economic ex-
perts to join their studies,
This will be the first formal meet
Ing OF the 16 Marshall Plan coun-
tries since last September when
they adopted a lengthy economic
report outlining their needs and
development plans over q four-vear
period Tor submission to the United
States State Department. The re-
port later was used by the Truman
administration as one basis for the
European Recovery Program.
Five Of the participating nations
Britain, France, Belgium, the
Netherlands and Luxembourg-en-
ter the sessions newly bound by the
pact OF Brussels to continuing mill
tary. economic, political and cul-
tural coordination among them
selves.
This five-power Western European
pact is to be expressed through a
permanent international commits
sion with certain executive func-
tions. The i've nations hope to ex-
tend their agreement eventually to
the other countries taking part in
the Marshall Plan.
The conference here will receive
a French British report recon-
mending that the 16 nations estab-
lish a permanent nter-European
Commission to assist the American
administration in the recovery pro-
gram. Such 16-nation commission
would not be 50 tightly interviewer
as the five nation grouping decided
on at Brussels, but the two might

1NAAcP Raps Compact
lFor Regional Schools,
Asks Race Integration
y ths A,..xiefsd Prsas

| A compact between u Souther,
States to provide regional educa,
ttcnal education facilities was op
posed yesterday by the Nationa
Association for the Advancement O
colored People.
Thurgood Marshall, association
lawyer, told the Senate Juidiciar,
committee that:
ut is obvious from reading thu
proposed compact that 1t was con.
ceived and developed for the pur.
pose OF setting up inferior segre-
gated regional schools for Negroes
Certainly these States do not
contemplate abandoning the millions
of dollars in white State universal
ties and there Is nothing in the
compact even suggesting this" Mr..
Marshall continued.
|. Held Step to Circumvent Rulings.
The compact provides that the
States will continue the Meharry
Medical College at Nashville, Tenn,
q Negro college, and establish other
regional schools II found necessary.
1T Is clear from decisions Of the
United States Supreme Court that
the States covered by the proposed
compact cannot escape their re-
sponsibilities under the 18th Amend
ment by sending their Negro stud
ents to Meharry and paying their
tuition and expenses In lieu Of ad-
mitting them to their State medical
schools, Mr.. Marshall argued.
THE truth is that In order to
increase educational opportunities
for its citizens, the South must give
up segregation" Mr.. Marshall con-
tinued. THE Southern States can
neither jointly, or severally provide
equality in segregated setup."
McGrath Cites Statistics.
Senator Wiley, Republican, of
Wisconsin, told the witness separate
schools for whites and Negroes were
perfectly legal while Senator Nc
Grath, Democrat, Of Rhode Island,
chairman Of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, told him that out
OF 1000 medical students in North
ern colleges only So Negroes had
qualified to take the courses.
Mr.. Marshall said the figures ARE
not important" and that Negroes
can take entrance examinations and
pass them as readily as white stu.
dents.
DR.. Millard Dean Washington,
publicity chairman of the National
Dental Association, DR.. j. q. Gath
ing Of Howard University, and M. G.
Clark, Cleveland, president of the
National Negro Insurance Associa-
tion also opposed approval OF the
compact. They said segregation of
the Negro in Southern schools noti-
f1es the world that it has the sane
ton of the entire Government.
DR.. Daniel T. Rolfe, executive Sec
retary Of the Meharry Alumni Asso-
citation, said efforts had been made
to raise funds through the alumni
OF the college and had been un-
successful.

Marshall Plan Framework

Here is the framework Of the
European Recovery Program as
passed by the Senate last night:
l. Authorizes ~ years Of eco
nolnic aid to 16 western European
countries and Western Germany.
q. Authorizes ST, 800, ,O00, 900 for the
first 10 months, leaving each sue
ceeding Congress free to fix the
annual rate of expenditure there
after. Even after the program passes
the House and becomes law, the
Appropriations Committees and
both Houses must vote >on the
money again in an appropriation
bill
3. Empowers the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation to advance
81 ,000, 900, 900 as soon as the Presi-
dent signs the basic program. This
is to get the aid started while the
appropriation bill Is being con-
sidered.
Countries Listed,
4. The program grew out of q
Speech by Secretary Of State Mar
shall last summer. The 16 countries
which acted on the suggestion and
banded together to work for Euro
pean recovery, with American aid,
are Great Britain, France, italy,
Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Greece,
Iceland, ireland, Luxembourg, The
Netherlands, Norway, Portugal,
Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey.
Some will be "co-operators" without
being recipients. because of recovery
already achieved.
S. Although the purpose Of the
plan is to help these countries re-
tain their independence by restor-
ing their internal economy, its pro-
ponents point out it is not an at
tempt to erect another curtain"
against the iron curtain" which
encloses Eastern Europe. On the
contrary, the door is left open for
any country wholly or partly in Eu-

program. Provided they subscribe
to the terms Of mutual cooperation
8. An independent administrator
at 20,000 a year, would direct the
American aid. The Secretary OF
State would retain control of for
eign policy. II they should disagree
on what is foreign policy, the Presi-
dent would settle the dispute.
Rowing Ambassador Provided.
7. Provides for a rowing Amer
ican Ambassador to observe the CO.
operation between the participating
countries and the missions sent
to work out the plan in each coun-
try.
8. Sets up a bipartisan public ad.
visory board OF not more than Il
members to advise the admins

9. Sets up a bipartisan congres.

10. Directs the administrator tc
procure the raw materials for the
program in a way to minimize the
impact on domestic economy. For
example, as much petroleum as pos
sible would be acquired from off,
shore sources.
II. The participating countries
would enter into ,multilateral
pledge of cooperation, and each
would make bilateral agreement
with the United States, containing
provisions designed to insure con-
tinuing efforts toward self help by
the recipient countries.
IL. The administrator could
terminate American aid If he found
q country not living UP to its agree
ment, or diverting aid to unauthor-
lied purposes. or If changed condi-
tions render further assistance
inconsistent with the national
interest of the United States"
