NSA CONGRESS For
Southern Univ.

John f. Bridges of 1924 Howard
St, arrived in Madison, Wisconsin
for the first National Student AS
ISOLATION Congress where he will
represent Southern University.
The 700 delegates representing
three-quarters Of a million stu
dents were greeted by President
Edwin B Fred of the University
of Wisconsin and NSA President
William Welsh.
Welsh challenged the delegates
to face the problems which now
confront the student, stating, your
role here at the congress is pri-
marily to produce specific projects
which can be carried out at all
levels of the Association, to the
benefit of the students and the
American Community"
The opening program featured
group singing and square dancing
on the spacious University lawns,
with a group of foreign student
leaders slated to present a show
later in the evening. The congress
was divided into workshop groups

Army Life He will be prone to
see different picture shaping up.
He Will see baby brother being
hustled out of bed at an ungodly
early hour Of the morning by the
blarihg of a bugle and the cussing
of sergeant He will see him
dress hurrledly and trample sleep
lily out to confounded reville. He
will visualize with humor his
young kinsman marching out on a
detail to pull up grass that an
other detail planted there the day
before. A sign Of amusement will
cross the veterans lips when he
thinks of how draftees will be
rushed like blazes out of barracks
to go off somewhere to stand in
line and wait until he drops dead
The ex-Army man will probably
end his reminiscing here for he
will doubtless become historical
with laughter when he thinks how
hospitahle all the nice officers
and non-comS are going to be to
his baby brother, always keeping
MS welfare at heart But the new
soldier will take what comes or
goes, And in all probability his
lot will be little easier than his
Older brothers. If it isn't, maybe
he Will get a chance to have a
good laugh few years from now.
Until young men, white and col
ored, brown or black, get tired of
being called to die for their coun-
try every four or five years. the
army will always provide a funny
story.

that freedom be made applicable

No Draft Calls By
Race, Says Hershey

Washington, d. C-No draft
calls will be made by race and
every effort will be made to pre-
vent race from being a factor in
any functioning Of the SelectlVe
Service System" it was declared
here today by Gen Lewis b. Her
shey, Director.
Gen. Hershey's statement was
contained in letter to Walter
White, NAACP secretary, who had
inquired about the designation of
race on some blanks being used
by the system.
Il wish to assure you" the Her
shey letter said, that the Select
i've Service System will carry out
both the letter and the spirit of
the Seleetive Service Act of l948
which prohibits discrimination in
the selection of men for training
and service under the Act, be-
cause of race or oclor.
Furthermore, it will be my pur-
pose in the administration of the
system to protect the rights Of
minority groups in every particu-
lar"

Donor Stations OF course, there
were in some parts of the eoun-
try. and particularly in the South,
separate stations set up for pa
triotic Negro Donors. This Jim
Grow policy of the Red Cross eX-
tended further. 1t was thought
that the blood of black man
mixed with that of a white man,
would cause degeneration Of char
acter or would affect the color
of his (white) offspring. With
this in mind, the Southerners
took special pains to carefully
label and keep separate all the
blood from the Negroes and used
it only on Negroes. The South
erners are SO deeply ingratiated
in the Jimcrow myth about blood
they refuse to accept the findings
Of the worlds leading scientists,
who have proven more than once
it is impossible to identify any
race or color by the examination
of the blood of an Individual.
While there are different blood
types, such as A, B, ABB. and o,
there are not dependent upon the
race or color of the individual,
and all these types are found in
all races,
Actually, the policy Of blood
segregation is not based on facts,
but on prejudice, 1t is the same
kind of prejudice which provokes
White supremacy-the same kind
of prejudice which fosters jim
crow hospitals, separate sections
of passenger trains, and bans Ne
