u. s. Doesn't Oppose
Loan, but Spain Is Bad
Risk, Acheson Says

The United States has no OBJ
lection on political grounds TO
making q loan TO Spain. although
it does not consider the Spanish
government O good credit risk un-
der present conditions. Secretary
of State Acheson said today.
He told a news conference the
Spanish government has been in
formed 1t could expect no great
progress in obtaining a loan here
until it took steps TO adjust its
balance of payment situation so
1t would be able TO repay the
credit with interest.
Political objections to loan dis
cussions with Spain that existed
Immediately after the war have
been removed now. he said. by
decision to consider economic and
political matters regarding Spain
separately.
This has cleared the way for
the Spaniards to undertake direct
negotiations with the Export-1m-
port Bank. Spain is reported to
be seeking 5000. 900 900 for recon-
struction and rehabilitation prof.
ects.
Mr.. Acheson told questioners he
believed that reports that Yugo-
slavia also was seeking a loan
from the United States were con-
fused with a Yugoslav credit ap-
plication to the World Bank. He
said he had heard no suggestion
that Yugoslavia wants an Amer
lean loan.
Yugoslav officials have inquired
what this Government attitude
would be toward a World Bank
loan application. Mr.. Achesop
said, and have been told that the
American representative on the
bank board would consider their
application from the same SEN
sible. business point of view they
would take toward any other APP
plication.
In the meantime, he said. finan-
cial negotiations between the Uni
ted States and Czechoslovakia
have been suspended but are
scheduled for resumption when
two oficials of a special Czech
mission return from a trip to
| Prague for consultations.
The Czechs are seeking Ameri-
can credits of about $50. 100000 in
connection with negotiations for
settlement of American compensa-
ton claims for property seized and
nationalized by the Communist
regime in CZechoslovakia. Officials
have indicated there was no
chance they woulu get such credits.

Folsom Says Vets
Should Be
Qualified Voters

MONTGOMERY, Ala. = Every
veteran who served his country
should be a qualified voter.
That was the opinion uttered by
Gov. James E. Folsom in one of his
press conferences.
Close on the heels of this state
ment, the Henry County Board of
Registrars reported were rejected a
large number of negro veterans
who were seeking to register.
There is not a single negro voter
in this county.
Emory O. jackson, editor of the
Birmingham World wrote a series
Of articles exposing vote denials
in Henry county which stories are
believed to have contributed to the
removal of two members of the
Henry County Board of Registrars
However the new board members
have likewise refused to register
negro applicants.
A group of negro veterans in
Bibb county reported that they
were refused MISREPRESENTATION
with a law enforcement officer and
board members suggesting that
they would not be registered.
The Birmingham Branch of the
NAACP said in Birmingham that
it has a long list of veterans who
said that they were "boswelled
questioned on the basis of the in
validated Boswell amendment) and
wrongfully denied registration"
An investigation made by a Fol-
som investigation revealed that
over three month period in Birm-
ingham 124 out of 254 Negro APP
plicants had been rejected while
only 10 out of 1877 white appli-
cants were rejected.
There are several Black Belt
countries in which there is not a
single negro voter.

Jim Crow Charged
In Chicago District

CHICAGO - Charges of racial
segregation Of pupils in the Sum-
mitt Agro- Bedford Park School dis
trict were heard by Edward B..
Simon, county superintendent of
schools, last Thursday in the first
test of the Jenkins amendment to
the state school appropriation bill
providing for the withholding Of
funds from schools practicing dis
elimination.
Attorneys for local units of the
National Association for the Adj
vancement of Colored People and
the Civil Rights Congress, which
brought the charges, pressed their
allegations separately, reflecting
the rift between the two organiza-
tions on national level because of
the NAACP's rejection of aid from
the Congress, a left-wing organi-
cation, in rallying support for Civil
rights legislation.
The issues raised in the petitions
filed by both organizations are the
same, but Sidney A. Jones, Jr., and
Claude E. Whitaker, Jr., NAACP
attorneys has asked Simon to hold
separate hearings. Attorney The
resa G. Ehrlich represented the
Civil Rights Congress and the
Argo-P. T. A. with Thomas M.
Clarke as co-counsel.

SECRET GROUP
SAYS 1T is NOT
AGAINST RACE
Charitable Aims
Stated For It's
Membership

SUFFOLK, Va. j. =. Lewis.
Suffolk business man and trustee
of the Knights of the Kavaliers.
Inca said last week emphatically
that this secret order is not an
adjunct of the Ku Klux Khan and
has never INDUCED in terrorism
in any form.
The new Virginia secret organi-
cation has had a lot of adverse
publicity. The secrecy surround
ing the new group was broken
when newspapers published the
news over a year ago about the
formation Of "Shore PATROL
which adhered to Ku Klux Khan
principles. Soon afterwards a
spokesman for the group denied
it had any Khan connections and
denials have been forthcoming
from some members of the group
ever since.
Lewis, charter member Of the
Kavaliers said the organization
never staged any demonstrations
to brighten Negroes or amy other
group of people. 1t is purely a
fraternal and charitable organi-
zation, he said, and is operated on
4 non-profit basis.
Lewis Spilled the beans" when
he revealed some time ago in an
interview with the local newspaper
that John Roland Hampton, oper-
stor of the Modern Food Market
had been expelled from the organ
ization because he had "been run
ming his mouth too much"
Lewis related that "what we
want is to build up an organiza-
ton that people will be proud of
We don't want to go around scar
ing people half to death. We're
not against Negroes or against
anybody" He intimated that the
group is merely interested ir
charitable work.
However, he admitted that some
time ago the Kavaliers held q
demonstration near Nurneyville 9
few miles south of Suffolk but

Mrs. Roosevelt
Halls TN Human
Rights Stand

NEW YORK - Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt declared Saturday night
that the United Nations Declare
ton on human rights ''is one of the
things most important to democra-
cy everywhere"
Mrs. Roosevelt N. S. delegate to
u. N. spoke in New York on the
newly proclaimed human Rights
Day at a meeting honoring the first
Anniversary of the adoption by the
u. N. General Assembly of the
declaration.
Brig. Gen Davis Sarnoff, chair
man of Board of Radio Corporation
of America, was awarded a u. n.
citation for his notable coopera-
ton in the development of public
understanding of the work of the
U. n"
U. N. Secretary General Tryve
Lie told the meeting the human
rights declaration is 'as public and
alive as the eternal desire of the
peoples of the world for peace
and freedom"
Mrs. Roosevelt, who played a
leading role in drafting the docu-
ment and securing it's unanimous
approval by the U. N. General AS
sembly last year, observed:
"A charter of human rights can
only be written in a land where
democracy reigns, because gov
eminent cannot impose such
charter. The people must accept
and respect these rights and free
doms in their own communities
and in their own lives and thereby
create countries and IN time,
world where such freedoms are
reality"
L n Statement
General Assembly President
Carlos P Romulo, who a few hours
earlier raped the gavcI for adj
jOurnment of the fourth session at
Flushing Meadow, declared that
unless there is respect for human
rights there can be no relief from
the terror which precedes and &C
companies war.
The Philippine leader declared
that the human rights declaration
is two things:
First, it represents our common
agreement as to what rights every
one everywhere must have. Sec
ond, it is a standard, a measure,
by which we can judge ourselves as
nations. 1t is standard by which
the people of each country can
judge their own political and Soc
ial achievement"
He declared that the declaration
already is a tremendous and ac-
tive force" adding: 4
1t has renewed and revitalized
the hopes of billions and assured
them that the United Nations does
mean something to them. 1t is now
being quoted by men and women
who cry out against intolerance
and injustice.
In a short time, it will become
part of the common heritage of all
peoples"

Tbongbts on Life
Like Father
Like Son
BY DR.. JOHN w. L

"a OSI1OOL lEfAOIlCIt, Tie OIlleI
day, saw a big boy slapping a little
girl in a game on the playground.
He called the lad in and said, what
a disgrace for a big boy like you to
slap a little girl"
The lad replied, Spa slapped Ma
the other morning"
What could the teacher do? Here
was home influence which he had
great difficulty in correcting. Most
boys heroize their fathers. What the
father does gains acceptance in the
boys ideals. We may smile at the
incident as being childish, but does
it not hold before us the almost SUI
preme influence of the home upon
the ideals of children?
Long ago it was written, "The
fathers have eaten soul grapes, and
the children's teeth are set on edge"
We talk rather glibly about "juve-
nile delinquency" Everyone is fear
full for the adolescent boys and girls.
Delinquency An Imitation
Where does the difficulty stem
from? Nine times out of ten, delin-
quency is an imitation by children
of the acts of adults in the home.
A boy on a farm asked his father,
"Why do you salt the cattle the day
before you take them to market?"
The father said, $50 they will drink
.,-4@- H. 49, Iox,
A few weeks later the boy was
sent home from school for crib
bing'' in an examination. The poor
father was incensed at his sons dis
honesty. He made ready to punish
him.
The father asked, "Son, what have
you to say for yourself?"
as it any worse than sailing the
steers?" the son replied.
The boy was not punished, ane
the father apologized to his son
After that, there were no more re
ports of 'cribbing" by the boy a
school.
The industrial age that has com
upon us leaves us too little time a
home, and the result is that parent
have less companionship with thei
children.
More attention to the high chair
would cut down the expense of s
many electric chairs.
Higher Home Ideals
There are signs of a tightening u
of home ideals in harmony wit
Christian practice. l spoke recent
at a church in a small rural town
700 people.
learned that in that church the1
were Is young married couples o.
ganized for religious, social and edl
c~ationa1 work. Most of the youn
men are ex-soldiers. They have chi
| dren, and they do not want them
grow up without religious trainir
in the home and in the church.
would be interesting if a continue
study of those Is families could
made through the years.
My guess is that the children w
receive the proper training and e,
ample in Christian living which w
send them forth into the world
builders and solid moral citizel
based upon the truths of Chris
Gospel.
What do YOU think about it, al
what can we all DO about it?
