Fair Education Bill

BOSTON, Mass. - CAMP - BY a
voice vote, without debate, the Mas
sachusetts Senate approved last week
a bill designed to prohibit discrimina-
ton in educational institutions on ac-
count of race, creed, color or nation
al origin.
The House of Representatives had
previously endorsed the bill. How
ever, the act as passed includes an
amendment which removed the en-
actment powers of the original bill
and placed the administration of the
act under the State Department of
Education. AS originally proposed,
the act would have provided penal
ties for infringement and would have
been administered by the state
FEPC.

Watch The One
You Aid

BY William Henry Huff For AMP
One receives his hardest knocks,
How strange it is to say,
From those whom he aided.
They throw most of the rocks
Along his rugged way.
How soon ones good is faded
How soon must bleed his feet
Who aids his fellow man.
He drinks the dregs of sorrow
While on the postern seat
BY reason of the ban
He sits in abject borrow.

though see no reason for not try

That is exactly what l intend to
do in the next twelve months. This
may we'll be the most crucial year
in British history. Maybe the
people on that troubled island are
on the way toward becoming in
habitants of a second-rate nation.
They may come through as magni-
ficently as they did in the war. In
any case Southerners have a big
stake in the turn Of the cards.
It's more than just a cotton mar
ket or a sympathy with the same
kind Of people we are. It could
be that the success or failure Of
the democratic way Of life will be
determined in Britain this year.
It is natural for Americans who

just that. plan to send back
accounts Of what I find there
without fear and I hope without

I'll be accused Of considerable
prejudice. At least I hope the
same bunch won't jump on me-

straight I'd like to mention . sim
pie preconception or two that
happen to entertain regarding our
relations with Britain.
First, Il seems to me that we ars

because we are big brothers to q

cause we realize that they have
saved our necks twice In this cen

Secondly, I'm inclined to believe
that we should be extremely wary
Of dictation on our part q how
the British use what we send
them. Not only does it indicate
poor faith but it plays right into
the hands of political demagogues
Certainly the Southerner doesn't
have to be reminded Of the signi.
