PRESIDENT CALLS
FOR EQUAL
OPPORTUNITY IN
ENDORSING FIFTH
ANNUAL NEGRO
COLLEGE FUND
DRIVE

'Totalitarianism will not thrive
where opportunity is equal, stated
President Harry S. Truman in a letter
supporting the fifth annual appeal Of
the United Negro College Fund re-
leased today by William E. Cotter,
national campaign chairman. John d.
Rockefeller, Jr, is chairman of the
National Council of the Fund which
has j3St opened its nationwide cam
paign for 81 100000 to aid % private
Negro colleges.
The text of the presidents letter
to Mr.. Cotter endorsing the Fund
follows:
I'VE are living in a time when the
maintenance and development of a
free society is under serious chal-
lenge. The philosophy and political
activity of totalitarianism require us
to protect our own free society and
to offer assistance to those nations
which are actively striving to remain
free This we are now doig :
But an essential part of the world
wide struggle is the perfection in
each country, including our own, of
the free institutions we cherish. To-
talitarianism will not thrive where
opportunity is equal and individual
liberties are fully protected.
Among the most cherished of our
free institutions are the schools OF
America To a remarkable degree,
they have extended educational OPP
portunity to all our people. The final
goal, however, is equal educational
opportunity, for all persons, to the
maximum of their individual abilities,
without regard to economic status,
race, creed, color, sex, national origin
or ancestry.
AS we strive for this goal, every
higher educational institution will
need to be strengthened to meet the
unprecedented demand for education
al services.

Wave Of Terror Hit Chicago Residents
Till Vest.Pocket Republication In Mississippi
NINETEEN ACTS OF VIOLENCE
AGAINST NEGRO HOMES IN
PAST THREE WEEKS


Chicago, April I9-ChlcagO racial
tensions arose once more in the West
Pekin district area on Wentworth
Avenue, between Goth and 3lst
streets, as hoodlums began another
wave of terrorism last week.
HoodlumS roaming the streets early
in the mornings between 2 and 3
am. smashed windows, started fires
and generally committed 10 acts of
violence against so Negroes in nearly
three weeks of terrorism.
Several reasons are being given for
these acts of intolerance The laxity
or lack of police protection by the
Pekin Inn police, repriSal for rob-
berry recently committed and re-
newal of anti-Negro attacks in this
region two years ago are all given
as causes for the violence.
Charge Story Hidden
Leading Negro citizens already
have charged Captain Harry ]. o.
Con-nell of the Pekin Inn Police sta
ton with attempting to hide the story
OF the violence. They claim that Capt.
O'Connell had not even reported
these events to Police Commissioner
Jno. c. Prendergast.
The city council has called the
police commissioner to answer Tor this
wave of violence against Negroes.
O'Connell has tried to minimize the
attacks. and said that investigation
of the situation would cause more
trouble.
Archie Jackson, proprietor of a
lunchroom whose windows were bro
ken felt that the hoodlums were get
ting even for a recent robbery. He
said he saw an automobile pull away
in the middle of the night right after
his window was smashed.
Families Burned Out
Five families were burned out in
one building as hoodlums tossed a
gasoline torch, according to wit
nesses description This building
housed 20 families and more than
90 persons.
Mrs. Gladys Collier, already i'll; and
her two sons were overcome by the
smoke and taken to the Cook County
hospital Fireman hero Tom E. Hen
derson who rescued two families said
the fire was started by incendiarieS
iuding by the way it spread.
Spokesman from Mayors Commits
sion on Human relations said these
attacks could not have occurred
merely because of the robbery of one
man. One of the victims, afraid to
give her name said;
Il think it's somebody around here.
How else could they pink out the
Negro places alone? We've been
looking for something to happen for
long time but not this
Windows Broken
Another victim, Mrs. Laura Reed,
whohad two bricks thrown thru her
beauty parlor windows, said: Its the
fourth time my windows have been
broken. When complain to the
police they say ITS too bad.
Most of the Negroes attacked indi-
Gated that they believed nothing will
be done about this terrorism In the
violence of tow years ago in the same
district only one person was arrested,
and he was soon released.
A typical remark on the police
protection came from resident OF
the neighborhood for 25 years; They
don't seem to give us any protection.
For the past two years we have been
the objects of terrorism.
