IBERIA and America. By celebrations
held throughout this country, the
American public became conscious
of their responsibility to Liberia,
while Liberians, on the other hand
were made more America consc-
ious.
With the postponement of the
exposition, the Washington Office
of the Lberian commission will be
indefinitely suspended as of Dec.
81, subject to continuity when the
plans for the exposition are re-
sumed.
Moss K. Hendrix, publicist and
organizer, who had charge of pub
lie relations program for the a
gency for the two years of its ex-
istence, expressed his appreciation
for the splendid cooperation given
the commission by the press. He
was also high in his praise for the
thre co-chairmen, Congressman w.
L. Dawson, Committeeman Perry
Howard and Editor Frank Stanley
for the invaluable service which
they rendered in making the Cen
tennial a success.

Liberia Officially
Annones Postpon-
nlent OF
Exposition

Washington (ANP) - The for
eign Office of the Liberian Con-
tinnial commission in Washington
announced Tuesday that the Liber-
ian Victory Exposition which was
scheduled to open in November,
1948 has been postponed indefini-
tely. The statement followed the
recent statement by Liberian Pres
ident William V. S. Tubman that
the event was bein abandoned.
The Washington office of the
commission stated that unsettled
world conditions make it impos-
sible for the Liberian Centennial
commission to execute the xast ma
jority of duties and responsible
ties charged to it in the planning
and development ofthe exposition.
Under such circumstances the gov
eminent of Liberia finds it neces-
sary to postpone it's exposition un-
til some more favorable future
date.
Hilyard R. Robinson, Washing
ton architect, who has served as
technical director for the COM
mission for the past ito years,
told the press that unsettled world
conditions made it not only hard
to obtain material and equipment
so necessary for the building of
the exposition, but it was also diff
ficult to get such materials ship
ped to the republic.
Mr.. Robinson further stated that
although the exposition will not
go on as scheduled the centennial
held last July did much to bring
a closer relationship between Lii

of Secondary schools, according
to a report of the state depart
ment of education. OF the 466
white public and private high Sc
hools in the state, only four are
not accredited by the association.
OF the Negro public high Sc
hools, 46 are approved and ac--
credited by the state department;
35 are approved and not accred-
tied and 81 are unapproved. None
of the private Negro high schools
is accredited.
This disparity in the education
al system of Louisiana is given
as one factor in the generally
low qualifications of Negro Sc
hool teachers and the general low
rating of the state of Louisiana
in comparison to other states in
educational facilities.
New Orleans one of the first
southern cities to equalize Negro
and white teachers salaries has
7 been one of the slowest to re-
sognibe Negroes in advisory cap
acities in the educational system.
There is only one supervisor for
81 elementary Schools and two

Colombia Agrees 10 Study
|0f Alternate Canal Route
By the Assoeioisd Press

Government ofdc1alS said yeSters
day the United States has received
permission from Colombia to send
an Army mission to make engineer.
ing studies Of possible new inter-
ocean route through the South
American country.
The site is close to the Panama
Canal.
These officials emphasized, how
ever, that the United States request
does not constitute proposal to
build canal in Colombia. 1t merely
means, they said, that the United
States would like to keep up to date
on possible alternate routes to cross
the isthmus.
The route the Army wants to study
is through the rivers Atrato and
Sinu In the northwestern corner Of
Colombia. 1t Is one Of those that
have been discussed for many years
past.
It was also one Of those mentioned
early this year when q clamor arose
in Congress to get an alternate canal
to supplement or substitute the
Panama route.
Several members of Congress were
aroused over the refusal Of the
Panama Congress to grant this
country postwar use Of . dozen
wartime built bases IN Panama.

District Health Officer
Threatened; FBI Called

The Federal Bureau of Investi-
cation has been asked to investigate
threats made against DR.. George c.
Rutland, District health officer, he
reported last night.
The threats, which he said came
both by telephone and mail, were
the result of DR.. Ruhland's rescind-
ir1g an order regarding the use of
Red Gross blood at Gallinger Hos
pital.
The blood supplied to the hos
pitsl by the Red Cross does not
carry a designation as to whether
1t is from white or colored persons.
A hospital doctor recently issued
an order prohibiting its use ex-
cepting in cases of emergency but
declared the order was to force the
hospital to rely on its own blood
supply.
DIR. Rutland, however, rescinded
the order, stating that blood from
White and colored persons is no
dffferent scientifically.
After receiving a threat by tele-
phone and one by mail, Dr.. Rub
land reported the matter to the
FHI.

Antiques Bring Premium Prices

$61o;
Some Bargains Obtained.
A faded oil painting by an un-
known artist was grabbed up for
$40, and a group of four hunt
scene paintings brought $50 piece.
The sale wasn't without bargains,
however. A Sheffield secretary for
which Mrs. Underwood repeatedly
paid nearly $4,000 was sold at $500,
and a Colonial bed which many
furniture collectors would term a

this type were the exception rather
than the rule.
The auction brought other spec
tators in addition to people inter-
ested in buying. Many, like Ernest
Bankman of Mt. Rainier, Md, came
"just to say goodbye" to a grand
old mansion.
Mr.. Bankman was employed by
the former owner of the estate,
Miss Elizabeth Sharpe, to restore
it in 1915. He recalled how each
brick in the two wings of the house
was numbered, taken down, and then
cemented more securely.
He said Miss Sharpe spent nearly

was built in 1903.

are interested enough in keeping

Bankman commented.
But Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas E. Ed

who helped negotiate the sale, were
quick to correct this notion. They
said that contrary to the fears o.
some, the mansion was in no way
to be altered except for necessary
painting and repairs.
The mansion itself, they empha.
