RETURNS FROM
GLOBE TOUR

NEW YORK - Walter White.
N'AACP secretary on leave, re-
turned last week to New York
after a globe -circling tour as a
participant in the Round-the-
World Town Meeting sponsored
by Americas Town Meeting of
the Air.
Leaving New York on July 9,
Mr.. White joined the party in
Rome and continued with the
group through the Near East,
India, the Philippines, Japan
and Hawaii. Mr.. White partici-
pated in international broadcasts
from Karachi and Rome In
addition to these there were a
number of local broadcasts in
each of the cities visited and al
most daily seminars with gov
eminent officials, labor leaders,
representatives Of the press, re-
ligious groups, women's and pro-
fessional organizations. In New
Delhi he was the dinner guest
of Pandit Nehru, Prime Minister
of India.
| Everywhere he went, Mr. White
reported, he found intense inter-
est in race relations in America.
In the Orient particularly there
were expressions Of amazezment
that colored people participated
actively in public affairs in Am
erica. The questions most fire.
quently asked, Mr.. White said,
dealt u ! lie position of the
colored American in the national
life.
THE unremitting efforts, not
only of the Moscow radio and
Tass but especially that of Reut-
ers in India, to play up race
riots in the United States as the
only participation Of colored
people in American life is hav-
ing enormous effect, ," Mr. White
asserted. American representa-
tives and friends of America told
me that this is the most serious
question with which they are
constantly confronted"
Summing up, Mr.. White said
There is ample evidence to be
Heve that participation in this
world tour by the National Coun-
ell Of Colored Women and the
NAACP has projected the race
question onto the world scene as
nothing else in contemporary
history. One interesting example
of the new respect gained is tht

passed away quietly this month

CYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA

mention of colored leaders, was
examined without much hope
for some data on Mr.. Burleigh
last Sunday. The fact that his
name, Harry Thacker Burleigh
stood at the very top of the
page and is the only Burleigh

gives you an idea of the inter

is perhaps his best known work.
1t is perhaps of some significance
that River Songs" of struggling
people have carried international
appeal. Such as ''Old Man River"
and 'volga Boat Song" and
Blue Danube and others. They
are like mediums Of transporsa-
ton to better conditions.
THIS THEME of everlasting

But at that time he recommended
military aid, and by implication,
criticized the administration for Civ

The drive for the ignatures-with

the anniversary of the atom bomb
blast.
The petition read:
1.-THE United Nations is functioning
as an organ of peace It is devoted
to the arbitration of international
frictions threatening war and to
regulation of international strife.
ut is also devoted to efforts which
promote international cooperation on
economic, cultural and moral
grounds.
THE United Nations is principally
an agency to promote measures that
would tend to serve as a deterrent
TO war. The United Nations as yet
does not enjoy the powers positively
to prevent war.
These are the reasons why We
seek the opening of second stage
in the universal endeavor to prevent
war with the establishment of a
strong world organization capable
of enforcing this task.

moment for us citizens of Hiroshima
to forward this jointly signed pc
tition to the President of the United
