BETWEEN

LINES
by GORDON HANCOCK

Richmond Va.--It Is fervently
to be hoped that the presidents
OF the participating colleges of the
United Negro College fund were
not high pressured by the higher
ups as has been recently alleged.
1t is further hoped that our edu-
Gators did not take to cover as has
been intlmated.
Even the casual student OF in
terracial affairs knows how easily
Negroes who try to cooperate with
whites are suspected and this Is
what drives a large sector OF Negro
thought to minimize and dIsparage
all interraclal efforts. These Ne
groes cast suspicion upon all in
terracial efforts except their own
1t becomes all the more under
standable that certain moral sta
nina and convictions are neces-
sary when dealing with a matter
as vital as that of the establish
ment Of regional schools for Ne
groes of graduate aspirations.
Even more regrettabIe than AN
attempt to hIgh-PTessure the Ne
gro college presidents would be
their failure to come clean" on
the matter.
II a regional graduate school is
established for Negroes in spite Of
their opposition. nobody will blame
the Negroes just as no intelligent
person blames southern Negroes
from living in a segregated econ
omy. When segregation is forced
upon one against ones will and
efforts 1t is no disgrace to those
who are Its victims.
Segregation becomes reproach
to Negroes only when they accept
1t without protest and resentment.

We took the electric train across
the big Oakland Bay Bridge to Sar

and longest across navigable water
and it has a tunnel through an
island.
Taking a cable-car at the bottom
of Mob Hill, we went almost straight
up to the top, where we could get a
view of the city. We could also see
Oakland and Berkeley across the
bay, Treasure Island, Alcatraz Fed

After that we took a guided tour
of San Francisco. Our tour OF
Chinatown included a Chinese ba-

All the houses along Michigan

Aunt Margaret told her just to
walk up and down the block In front
of Gramma Story's house. This is
what she thought she was doing, but
instead she walked too far because
the houses looked so much alike
