Scandinavia to counteract Paul Robeson's propaganda.
 The 24 colored students had been studying dramatics at Howard, ana after a clerk from the Norwegian Embassy saw their performance, he suggested that they visit Norway With little help they made the trip. and started off by presenting Henrik Ibsen's Wild Duck" right in Ibsen's Norwegian homeland.
 Robeson, travelling through Scan- dinavia a few months before, had told how American Negroes were downtrodden, lynched, and under nourished. Many believed him Therefore, when the Howard Univ ersity students arrived, they played to full houses, many in the audience curios to see just what kind of cul- ture could come from the American Negro.
 The result was enthusiastic ac- claim from Oslo dramatic critics According to "Morgenbladet. 'The acting was honest and straighfor- ward with an air of sincerity. "Verdens Gang" added: "The visit proved that the 'colored' Howard University has literary interest and generally cultured student mil leu on a plane which any European or other university has reason to envy"
 From then on, the Negro stu dents played before sellout crowds They attracted so much attention in fact, that they were invited to tour Denmark and Sweden-where they met the same enthusiastic re- ception. Now they are winding up performances in the American zone of Germany, have been asked to fill engagments in France and Hol- and.
 Though unknown and unappre- ciated in their own country, these young negroes have scored trl- umph abroad-not merely for theii acting but, more important, fol their people-to-people diplomacy.

| he returned to the United States, he engaged in shipping and export, but soon became timber valua- ton engineer for the Bureau of h. ternal Revenue of the Treasury Department. In 1925, he joined the United States Foreign Service, his first post being Mukden. Thence, he served in Tientsin, Moscow, Vladi- vostok, and Teheran. In 1946, he was appointed Consul-Gensral in Mukden, Manchuria.
 Anyone familiar with our Foreign Service knows that these men in the field are a hard working, com petent lot. A man holding such posts as Angus Ward has held will have a working knowledge of the Chinese and Russian languages, the history of the countries, the habits and activities of the people. He will have conditioned himself to work, in his country's interest, with ali sorts of people. In such places as Nlukden, Tient- sin, and Vladivostok, he would live among Chinese, Japanese, Russians, Mongols, and Koreans, to say nct.l- ing of Europeans I have been in those cities often. I know the nor nal environment and atmosphere and little of it is normal was in both Mukden and Tientsin at the start of Wards career in those cit ies. He must be good to have come through to a COnSul-GeneralShi in Mukden. Such a man does not slap servant-and he does not betray his country's honor or dig nity.
 A consular officer is usually an administrative and commercial rath- CT than a diplomatic official. But in countries like China, where areas are distant from the national cap- ital, or where there is constant civil war and revolution, a consul lar officer takes on the functions and immunities of diplomat. He is entitled to the respect of person and under no circumstances may a government invade his premises and seize the files. T The suggestion that our State Department appeal to Soviet Rus 1 sia for aid in freeing Angus Ward
 was undignified Have we sunk sd low; is our national honor so ab-
 andoned have we become so cow
 ardly that we expose our weakness? l@ I would say, from my experiences in China, ,s that Ward was seized by the Chinese Communists, upon in structions from their Russian mast-
 CTS to prove to the Chinese people that the United States is less than
 nothing. For Russia to rescue Ward would further reduce OUT national l prestige and dignity.
 There is only one solution: Let General Macarthur go into Mukden to bring Angus Ward and his wife out alive-or dead. (Since the above
 was written, a radio broadcast says Ward has been released.)

School Bus Surveys
Offered by State in.
Pulaski Bias Case
ey ths Assoeioted Press

RICHMOND. Va. Nov. 22.-The
State Department Of Education
yesterday offered q helping hand
to localities fearful Of the results
of q Federal court opinion In the
Pulaski County discrimination
case.
Although taking no sides In the
court dispute, the department
offered to make supplementary
transportation surveys to make
sure school divisions were routing
their school buses so that no dis
elimination charges could be
leveled.
Last Monday the United States
Court of Appeals for the Fourth
Circuit ruled in Baltimore there Is
racial discrimination in the high
school facilities of Pulaski County.
Pulaski County Negroes are offered
high school educations only at
the Christiansburg Industrial In
stitute in Montgomery County
under a regional agreement.
The section of the opinion that
disturbed State officials was the
finding of discrimination in the
fact that the Negro students had
to be transported a greater dis
tance and for a longer period than
the white children.
The Pulaski County School
Board now is studying the ad-
visibility Of appealing the decision
to the Supreme Court.
The State Department Of Edu-
cation, when requested by the
localities, makes surveys to deter
mine the most economical and
efficient routing Of school buses.
Eighty Of these surveys have been
made since 1943. The last one
made in Pulaski County was In
November, 1914.
Dowell ]. Howard. acting SUPER
intendent of public instruction,
said yesterday the surveys in the
past determined the most efficient
bus routes irrespective of whether
the students were white or Negro.
Both in the new surveys and In
the supplementary studies. the de-
partment will now place emphasis
on the type of routing required to
solve the problem of discrimina-
ton cited In the court decision.

Hazardous CROSSING

Because of a traffic hazard
created by the freight crossing
on the Baltimore Boulevard south

Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad will be
asked to halt all trains and flag"
them across the highway.
The Hyattsville City Council
last night voted to make the re-
quest after Councilman Jesse S.
Baggett described the crossing as
the worst traffic hazard in Mary
land Mr.. Baggett is chairman
of the councils Transportation
Committee.
A watchman no longer is sta
toned at the crossing.
The Council also voted to ask the
State Roads Commission to erect
a warning sign on each side of the
crossing for traffic on the boule-
ward.
The Council approved syncron-
ization Of traffic lights on the Bal
timore boulevard at Hamilton and
Jefferson streets and elimination
Of parking on the east side Of the
boulevard at jefferson street. The
change is to facilitate left turns
into jefferson street.
Parallel parking in place Of

was approved.
The State Roads Commission
advised the council it will permit
installation of traffic lights at
Queens Chapel road and Hamil-
ton street and at Thirty eighth
avenue and Hamilton street but
that the city will have to pay for
the installation and maintenance.
The council, however. objected
to paying for the lights. It was
said that conditions necesSitating
the installation resulted from the

Montgomery Council
Pledged 10 Full Study
OF Apartment zoning

The Montgomery County Coun-
Gil will not be rushed into adop-
ton of any master plan which
materially enlarges apartment
house zoning in the Bethesda
Chevy Chase area, Frederic P. Lee,
council president, said last night.
Mr.. Lee gave this assurance to
members of the Bethesda Chevy
Chase Branch of the American
Association of University Women
at meeting in All Saints Church,
Chevy Chase Circle.
A series of public hearings will
be held before the council takes
any action on the apartment house
zoning enlargement proposed by
the Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission,
Mr.. Lee said.
Speaking for himself, Mr.. Lee
said he believed a majority Of the
people Of the community do not
want to turn Bethesda Chevy
Chase into a second Washington
a city full Of apartments. The
council, he said, will study the
problem from every angle before
reaching a decision.
There are q great many govern
mental agencies over which the
council has little or no control, +"
Mr.. Lee asserted. He cited schools,
public health and assessment,
which are tied up with the State
system, and the Liquor Control
Board, the Park and Planning
Commission, and the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission.
controlled by the Governor.
Asked how council control of the
latter three agencies could be ac-
complished, Mr.. Lee asserted:
by constantly demanding con-
troll from the State Assembly. Per-
sistence will win out in the long
run. Right now the Assembly
takes the attitude that Montgom-
cry County doesn't really want
what it recently got in the way of
