kins, NAACP acting secretary,
the United Nations Food and Az

today debated what action to take
on the invitation Of the University
of Maryland to locate permanent
headquarters for the FAC in The

DR.. Chen Chih-Mai Of the Chin
csc delegation read to the confer
ence Mr.. Wilkins telegram sent to
the ambassadors and ministers of
ID participating countries. Mr.. Will
kins protested against acceptance
of the University of Maryland IN
vitation because of the university's
Jim Crow policies.
When choosing a site for its
permanent location" Mr.. Wilkins
stated, "the United Nations ruled
out any locality in which segrega-
ton of races was a part of local
systems. Citing exclusion of Ne
groes from the University classes
and form the use of acmpus facili-
ties, the NAACP official ass ,rted
that "all of the representative
from Africa, many from Asia, some
from Latin American countries,
and even few from Europe
would be subject to the same DIS
criminatory treatment simply be-
cause they are not a part of wha.
President Byrd Of the University
of Maryland would consider the

Byrd's offer would repudiate the

December is the traditional
month Of the year for the celebra-
ton of the birth of Jesus. Using
the word TRADITIONAL, for there
is no proof from the scripture that
Jesus was born In December,
much less on December 25th. The
date and much Of the celebration
is purely pagan origin.
This year, as In other years,
Christmas will be celebrated. but
Christ will be largely forgotten.
The boys Christ was forgotten by
his own mother and his own fos-
ter-father, and this was due to The
fact that they. the parents, were so
completely occupied with the soci-
al duties and ritual of this pass
over season that they actually
went on a days journey before
they missed him,
On December 25th, the Christian
world celebrates, wrongly or right

objection to some of this, but the
