Brandeis University
~,
Martin Silver

Brandeis University, the first
Jewish sponsored coeducational,
nonsectarian institution of higher
learning, will open its doors to
the first freshman class of over
one hundred on Thursday, Octo-
Der ID, thus bringing a dream of
years into reality. The school, To-
Gated at Waltham, Massachusetts,,
has campus of one hundred acres
and eight major buildings.
Brandeis University has been
founded in response to the long
felt desire for the Jewish COM
munity in America to make a cor
porate contribution of quality to
h G h er education. Protestant
groups have founded six hundred
colleges; Catholic groups have
founded more than two hundred.
Most of these are open to students
of every tradition and every back
ground. But the pride of these de-
nominational groups serves as the
impetus for a basic contribution
to American higher education.
Jews in this country have high
regard for learning. We send our
children to the universities in
much greater numbers than our
proportion in the population. This
is most commendable. But in a
real sense, these young people are
recipients of the generosity of
outstanding Christian groups,
whose benefactions have made
possible the universities that Of
fer hospitality to all who apply.
Has not the time come when the
Jewish community in America
should make at least one group
contribution to higher education?
Brandeis University is modest
attempt in that direction.
Brande1s University will open
its doors in October. It's student
body will number slightly over
one hundred. Admission will not
be based on race, color or creed.
The faculty is small, yet it be-
speaks a standard of integrity
that should give cause for pride.

 lYMCHING CLAUSE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-tR- Legislation to make lynching Fed eral offense received House Judi ciary Subcommittee's approval to- day.
 Its action sends the measure on to the full Judiciary Committee, which must approve the bill before it can be voted on by the House.
 The legislation is part of the Ci- vii Rights program advocated by President Truman and opposed by southern Democrats.
 The southerners contend the prob ,em of dealing with lynchings should be left to the states. They argue, too, that the number of lynchings is de- creasing.
 The measure would let the Federal Government step in when there was a lynching. People accused of taking part in it could be tried in Federal Courts. Trials might be moved to place far away from the community where the lynching took place

|DC-6 Airline Planes
Returning 10 Service
After Modification

DC-6 transport planes, grounded
since last November, will return to
service on five major airlines within
the next two weeks with design
notifications that have been ap-
proved by the Civil Aeronautics Ad-
ministration.
Plans to resume use Of the four
motored, 300-mile-an-hour planes
were revealed in q joint announce
ment today by the Douglas Aircraft
Co., the manufacturer, and Ameri-
can, United, Panagra, National and
Braniff air lines.
A total Of 81 DC-6's were with
drawn from service last fall after
one crashed In Bryce Canyon, Utah,
and another made an emergency
landing at Gallup, N. Mex. The
Civil Aeronautics Board directed
that certain alterations be made
and other changes were decided on
after an engineering study by stats
Of the Douglas firm and the opera
tors.
A CAB investigation indicated the
desirability OF relocating heater air
intsjke scoops to prevent danger Of
gasoline entering the scoops, and
this was done on all DC-6's return
ing to service, the announcement
stated.
Administrator T. w. Wright OF
the CAA commented:
II believe that the deg today,
from an engineering viewpoint, rep
resents one Of the safest, finest and
most advanced airline transports
available for public service. The
CAA extends its congratulations to
the Douglas Aircraft Co. and the
scheduled airlines who have CO.
operated so Fundamentally with the
CAA In completing the notifications
so that the airlines that have the
|DC-6 as part Of their fleet may
again use this type to meet expand
ing needs Of our air transport
system"
According to the joint announce
ment, American Airlines will re-
sume coast-to-coast DC-6 service
March Is. United will place the
ships on its San Francisco Honolulu
route March 81 and on its coast-to-
coast route April l. National plans
to Use the planes between New York
and Miami beginning March 20.
The other operators have not de-
cided on definite dates.
More than 100 DC-6's are ex-
pected to be in service by mid
spring, it was stated.

Whites in S. Carolina
Split on Question
Of Negro Vote

GREENVILLE, S. c., July 8.
(ANP)-White people in the state
of South Carolina are split into
two camps on the question OF
whether Negroes should be allow
ed to vote.
The break in the emocratic par
ty is between the Tidewater aris-
~tocrats and the upland farmers.
The uplanders are defending the
right of the Negro to vote, but
the lowlanderes are opposing it.
Liberalism, however, is not the
reason for the support of the Ne
groes, veteran observers say. Ira

one-fourth of the states popula-
ton. In this area whites predomi-
nate. In the lowlands, where the
law is opposed, Negroes FREEDOM
mate.
Greenville, Greenwood, Laurens
Pickens, Richland and Spartan
burg counties, therefore, have
opened their party enrolment
books on the same terms to Ne
groes and whites. Some of these
counties did not even apply the
anti-civil rights oath to regis
trants.
Registration of Negroes in the
South Carolina primary came as
result of a U. S. Supreme court
decision in 1914 that Negroes must
, be allowed to register in the Dem
o~cratic primary. The state had
dropped all primary voting laws in
order to get around this ruling.
The uplanders said that the con-
vention rules would bring about
court tests which might even in
validate election results. They
added that they may as we'll real
ize that the courts will support
the Negroes voting rights.

the days of Andrew Jackson are
the roots of this division.
The open battle came to the
front after May 10 when the. State
Democratic party convention de-
cided to set up two primary laws,
one for Negroes and one for
whites. Whites could then vote
merely after registering in the
party enrolment books, but Ne
groes could vote only if they pre-
scented registration certificates
showing they are "qaulified vo-
ters."
Both Negroes and whites, to
vote, were also required to sign
a statement that they believed in
segregation in education and So
cial activities, and that they OPP
posed FEPC legislation.
This convention activity brought
a storm of protest from the six
upland counties which include

Citrus City, Tex, Names
Its Streets After Fruits

CITRUS CITY, TEX.-This city,
which doesn't exist, has a well fl
nanced chamber of commerce that
doesn't exist either.
Citrus City is an expertly planned
municipality in the Lower Rio
Grande valley, but it's only in the
blueprint stage.
Howard Moffitt planned the city
and is selling lots for $500 each. His
"city" has a main street 210 feet
wide with 6 parking lanes and all
its streets are named after fruit and
flowers.
Lot purchasers are advised to
grow trees and flowers according
to the name of the street they're on.
From each $500 for lots, Moffitt
puts $50 into a Chamber of Com
merce fund. So Citrus City has a
chamber of commerce, with every
citizen a member.
But it has no residents, and its
chamber has nothing, except money.

Babies Nuke Adults
Look Like Pumpered Sissies

CHICAGO.-New-born babies are
tiny but tough, and in many ways,
make adults stack up like sissies.
DR.. Clement Andrew Smith, as
sistant professor of pediatrics at
Harvard Medical school, listed these
among baby's strong points:
Babies have been known to 60
five, ten and even as long as four
teen minutes without breathing i'm
mediately after birth.
The body temperatures of babies
exposed to chilling or covered by
too many blankets have ranged
from less than go to 102 degrees.
These changes in internal temp
erature will not do the baby any
particular good, but on the other
hand neither do they signify as
much harm as they might in an
adult, he said.
Babies apparently have more
water in their bodies at birth than
after. For this reason it is some
times considered wise not to feed
them for two to five days after
birth. This is especially true of pre-
mature infants.
Baby also has disadvantages, too.
the first being his small size. A
baby has proportionately a much
larger surface area than an adult.
This causes a heavy loss of body
heat. To make up for this an infant
must breathe faster and his heart
beats faster.

Butterflies Fit
Across Atlantic

LONDON.-If you happen to see {
butterfly flutter by with a license
plate attached to it's tail, run to the
phone and put in a transatlantic
call to T. cambridge Fletcher ir
London, England.
He is probably the guy who at
tached the license.
The licensing scheme is Fletcher's
own project. He hopes to learn
more about the migratory habits #
butterflies.
Up to the last report no Fletcher
licensed butterfly is known to have
strayed more than so miles but don't
discount the possibility of a butter
fly flying the Atlantic.
A brightly colored American Mon
arch was shared in the autumn Of
1882.
This ocean flier was promptly
caught in England by Sir Beckwith
Whitehouse, a great butterfly man,
and eventually Sold for SAL.
Since that time 80 other butter
flies have crossed the ocean, all
west to east, according to DR.. D. B.
Williams, who probably knows more
about butterflies than any other man
alive.
All Williams ocean filters are Mon
archs. Williams has discovered they
migrate 1000 miles, spending the
winter in Florida and the summer in
Canada.
Butterflies have more sense than
to get lost, Williams says. In fact,
he says, he is amazed at the way
butterflies stay on course despite
the Monarchs breezing along
at a steady 16 miles an hour.
At this top speed a Monarch
crosses the ocean on the great circle
route in about 5h days.

Hifch-Hikers Find ThUmbinq
More Expensive Than Fare

MEMPHIS, TENN.-Thinking Of
going on a hi~tch-hiking trip? Don't
do it, says Donald Trachte.
The 17-year-old St. Louis youth
had the same idea. He and two pals
figured they'd hitch-hike to Florida.
But they ended up walking the 319
miles to Memphis-with suitcases.
1t took eight days-and cost more
for food than train or bus fare would
have. Police stopped them twice for
questioning, Trachte said-but no
rides.
Now the two pals have flown back
home. And Trachte is going by bus.
Motorists, Trachte said, just don't
seem to like mixers any more.
