New York, Oct. 14-Although
welfare issues have been over
shdowed by the East-West con-
flict over the Berlin blockade
and by the Palestine settlement
"progress on human rights and
colonial issues is being made in
the face of many difficulties,
according to a report received
here today from Walter White,
NAACP secretary now serving as
consultant to the U. S. Miss
ion to the United Nations Gen
eral Assembly meeting in Paris.
"Many consultants represent
ing large membership have agreed
to join win me in a memorandum
to the American delegation urg-
ing vigorous opposition to the
return of Italian Colonies in At
RIGA or to yielding to the Union
of South Africa in its effort to
annex Southwest Africa. We are
urging these colonies a United
Nations trusteeship charged with
responsibility of achieving self
government and independence
within the shortest period" Mr..
White said in communication
to the national NAACP office.
Mr.. White, who is seeking the
establishment of an international
court of human rights with au-
thority. to investigate and correct
violations mhe1AeveF they may
occur, expressed fear that this
session of tn General Assembly
would not go beond the adoption
of declaration of human rights.
"The Soviet Union and Great
Britain are as unwilling to have
their practices in respect to human
rights looked into as is the United
States, all contending that this
is an internal government matter, I"

which was thrown on it when
the car in which he was working
was struck by another. It became
infected and had to be amputat-

World Racial Bias
Topic Of United
Nations

Paris, Oct 12-World Racial
Bias was a topic Of discussion in
United Nations meeting here To-
day.
Russia accused the United
States, Britain and South Africa
Of practicing "a shameful, dirty
and unlau racial determination"
Soviet Delegate Alexei Pav1ov
made the charge during Social
Committee debate Of draft de-
claralor Of human rights.
He also accused Cuba Of seek
ing to water down an article
plcdging "equal protection of the
! W against any dlscrimlns ton.
P'vlov spoke OF erroriElng
the United States. He alleged OPP
pres ion f Indian mincrities III
South Africa and discrimination
against natives" in British col.
onial territories.
He said women suffer serious
poll' cal han leaps ii the Urited
ISaes and Britain. He compared
the number of women in parli-
ment of the two countries with
Russia, which he said has more
feminine parliamentrians than all
other nations combined.
The committee approved Article
I of the proposed declaration
which states: "All human beings
are born free and equal in dig
nifty and rights. They are endow-
ed with reason and conscience,
and should act toward one anoth-
er in spirit of brotherhood.

Waring added:
i say to you, go toward with
your work, but must be careful
OF your methods. A reformer who
comes to the South and says the
whole civilization there is wrong
IS making mistake. On the other
hand, don't stay away.
I'VE have got to teach many
people to want to improve. The
situation has got to be handled
gently but firmly"
my people have one outstnad-
ing fault-the terrible fault of pre-
Juidice. They have been born and
educated to feel that Negro is
some kind of an animal that ought
to be well-treated and given kind
ness, but a matter of favor, not
right. That's not the kind of con-
ception, that we should show to
the world.

Federal Judge says South Should Not
Let Alone To Deal With Racial Problem
In It's Own Way
Sees Need OF Showing World Negro Ha:
RIGHTS OF An American Citizen
Change OF Feeling Help Needed

New York, Oct. IL --Fhe Souts
should not be 'Tet alone" to deal
with its own way, Federla Judge
]. Waties Waring of Charleston,
SC, said yesterday.
Judge Waring, who wrote the
rulings that gave Negroes the
right to vote in his states pri-
maries this year, asserted that
outside assistance was necessary.
Speaking at, a luncheon in his
honor, given by the New York
chapter of the National Lawyers
Guild, in the Midston House, the
jurists said:
"To me, the racial atmosphere
of my part of the South is at
present pretty dim. 1 believe it's
going to improve that the sun
light is going to come in. But I
don't believe that the windows are
going to be opened voluntarily"
The most discouraging aspecudge
Waring said, is the attitude of
the majority of the White South
erners.
CHANGE OF FEELING HELP
NEEDED
"The problem, he declared, ais
to change the feeling, the senti-
ment, the creed, of the great body
of white people of the South that
a Negro is not an American Citi-
zen"
Judge Waring, who noted that
his family had lived in South Car
DINA since the Sixteen Forties,
added:
"Now I believe that the Negro
is an American citizen. And I
don't think that there's any place
on American democracy for putt
ing any citizen in a compartment
according to his race of reli-
gion."
Referring to his decisions in the
United States Distric Court in
Charleston, which outlawed bans
on Negro primary voting-decis-
ions that have been upheld by
higher courts-Judge Waring said.
"Not one man in public life
has dared to support these decis-
ions based on the fact that Ne
gro is entitled to vote as an Amer
lean citizen. The few people in
public life who have communicat-
ed with me have done so in let
ers marked strictly confiden-
tial'. That's pretty bad"
APPLAUDS APPEAL TO COURT
Although, Southern Negroes
have scored some gains in recent
years, he jurist asserted, these
were either forced by outside a.
gencies or given as favor, not
q right.
This is true despite the efforts
of liberal Southerners, such as
former Gov. Ellis Arnall of Geor-
gia, Judge Waring declared.
Turning to Thurgood Marshall,
attorney for the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement OF
Colored People, a member of the
Lawyers guild executive board
who was seated near him, the
the Judge said:
"The danger of Arnall and 9TH
ers is what they say: Let us alone
and we will do it ourselves. Well,
no Negro would have voted in
South Carolina if you hadn't
brought a case"
To the group as a whole, Judge

Some insight into the thinking
of the courts ami the possible 1ut
come of the case was given when
the Judge, in pointing to the noun
ting number of similar cases which
have been upheld by the courts,
said that the only grounds upon
which the case could be dismissed
would be TO show that White
and Negro Teachers are being
pad equal salaries.
The defendant Counsel admit
ed the inequality in the salaries.
Judge Mize also said that he
wished to hear only information
as to wheather Mrs. Bates had
exhausted all administrative pro-
cedure at her disposal before
bringing the question to the Fed
eral Courts. Counsel for Mrs.
Bates indicated that they were
ready to show that this had been
done.
The suit for the equalization
of teachers salaries in the Jack
son School distric was filed by
Attorneys for Mrs. Bates in
Jackson last March: she ask for
salaries for Negro'teachers equal

School District.
The suit was filed against the
Superintendent of Public Schools
and the Jackson School Board.
After the filing of the suit
Mrs. Bates and her husband also
a teacher in the Jackson Public
School System, were dismissed
from the service.
The National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo-

at portable mills and properly
seasoned, is quality material for

State Farm Foresters Aim For Goal Of
Higher Income, Better Agriculture

Farm Foresters, skilled in timber
practices and good farm manage

farmers reach the goal of higher
income and a better agriculture,
Without charge to woods own
ers, the four farm foresters now
working in the state will give ION
the ground assistance" of marking
timber for cutting and then help
ing secure the best market pos
sible for the quality of the prod
uct. These foresters are employed
by the Extension Service and
work closely with county agents
of their respective areas
During the past fiscal year
Mississippi's four farm foresters
assisted SIG woodland owners,
marking for selective cutting a
total of $4,000, 900 board feet Of
timber over an area of $4,000
acres.
Gross return to the owners of
timber so marked was $277,000.
More than 100 requests to be
acted upon were on record when
report of the years work was
made.
Farmers are either earning
money or saving it in many ways
when they ask for free assistance
from the farm foresters, accord
ing to Paul Millsaps, leader Ex-
tension forestry. Marking for
cutting by foresters not only
yields marketable products, but
leaves conditions in the wood
land good, and often even better
than before cutting, for growth Of
quality timber.
The land owner can often dou-
BILE or triple his profits if he can
cut and deliver timber or timber
products, MIR. Millsaps pointed
out. Farmers can frequently do
this without special equipment
and during a season when there
is little other work.
Timber products farmers may
cut and deliver with assistance
