u. of Tennessee
Trustees Refuse
Negro Students

/ KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (ANP)-
Because the state of Tennessee
has jimcrow laws preventing Ne
groes and whites from attending
schools together, no Negroes will
be admitted to the University of
Tennessee.
This ruling was announced this
week by the University of Tennes-
see board of trustees at it's meet
ing.
Negro attorneys promised court
action to gain for their clients ad-
mittance to various graduate and
professional schools at the all
white state university. The Negro
Tennessee A & l State college
does not provide courses they are
seeking.
No specific announcement as to
what kind Of action they will take
was revealed by the attorneys.
Denied entrance into the uni
versity because of their race were
Mckinley Exum of Memphis and
Gene Mitchell Gray, Lincoln A.
Blakeney, James H. Patterson and
Jack Alexander of Knoxville.
Blackeney and Patterson want
to attend the u~niversity's law
school; Gary and Alexander, the
graduate school, and Exum, the
school of dentistry.
The decision by the board of
trustees directly opposed a re-
cent ruling by State Atty. Gen.
Roy H. Beeler. Beeler said the
university would have to admit
the Negro students on the basis of
recent U. S. Supreme court deci-
sions.
The board of trustees relied
solely on the states segregation
law in which the state constitution
under article XII, section IL says
in part:
"No school established or aided
under this section shall allow
white and Negro children to be re-
ceived as scholars together in the
same school,"

"He just turned twenty" she
said. "He has been out of school

Maybe he won't be called up,
l assured her. Maybe if he is call

"They won't have to call him."

with him; he wants to do every

FOR AMP
OUR PERILOUS TIMES

1t is just as we'll that we face
the ugly fact the we are face to
face with catastrophe. Perilous
times are upon us and whether
we sink or swim, live or die, sur
vIve or perish, are matters that
are delicately poised in the scales
of destiny.
With World War III upon us,
we are being forced to concede
that what we thought was the pros
pect Of a lasting peace proves to
be merely an illusion. The nations
are not putting their trust in God
and Right, but in deadly weapons.
The terrible atom bomb is being
brandished with abandon, and that
there will be resort to it is al
most one of the certainties of the
crisis that is upon u.s..
1t is a fearful. price that the
nations are willing to pay for the
specious privilege of godlessness.
However reluctant we may be to
admit it, we are living in a world
where might is right as Neitszche
long ago taught the Germans. This
barking back to the Dark Ages is
calamitous to say the least. But
the end is not yet.
Nations stand upon the dry bones
of former nations and peer into
solemn future with hope that by
and by d nation will rise up and
rule in righteousness. righteous
ness. exalteth any nation but sin
is a reproach to any people" is an
admonition that the nations thus
far have rejected, but one, and the
only one, that has hopes of a bet
ter tomorrow. Our Wanted civil
cation is on the eve of doom and
the hands of the clock of history
are about to be turned back. Man
kind must be brotherized or it will
be brutalized.
This is the grim fact that we
loathe to face but grim fact it is.

will the loosing of the atom bomb
settle aside from the question OF
who is momentarily the master of

Must peace lie slaughtered on

ity to man? When will the nations
grow up and put away the child
ish thing called war? Are we
shortly to see go up in smoke and
utter destruction all that has been
built in sweat and tears and blood?
Is the atom bomb way the only

ton ever laid before the councils
Of this nation. Such a question de-

United Nations
News and Views
BY SAMUEL p. PERRY JR

recommendation of a special poll
teal committee that the former
Italian colony of Eritrea be united
in a federation with Ethiopia was
approved here by the UN General
assembly in a 1910 vote with
four abstentions.
The recommendation, voted 49,
IA with eight abstentions, was sent
to the full UN body last week. 1t
provided that Eritrea will be an
autonomous part of the fedora
ton with jurisdiction in domestic
affairs. Such matters as foreign
relations, defense and finance are
to be handled by the federal gov
eminent.
Before the vote was taken by
the general assembly, the plan was
formally submitted to and accept
ed by the Ethiopian delegate, who
noted in his acceptance that "my
country had wanted outright an
nexation of Eritrea but accepted
federation in a spirit of compro-
mise"
A UN commission, sent to Fri
trea last year to sound out the
views Of the people, could not
agree on a possible solution. In
stead the commission submitted
three basic ideas for the considera-
ton Of the general assembly. They
were independence, annexation by
Ethiopia or federation.
With neither the independence
or annexation idea gaining much
favor with the UN, the special
committee adopted a compromise
move by a 14-nation combine to
work for a federation. Supporting
the compromise were Bolivia, Bra
iii, Burma, Canada, Denmark,
! Ecuador, Greece, Liberia, Mexico,
Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Turkey
and the United States.
The plan calls for a transition
period, not to extend beyond Sept.
Is, 1852, during which an Eritre-
an government is to be organized
and a constitution prepared and
put into effect. Britain, as adj
ministering authority, would con-
tinue to conduct the territory's af-
fairs during this period.
Further, Eritrea would be an
autonomous unit federated with
Ethiopia under the sovereignty of
the Ethiopian crown. The federat-
ed government would have juris-
diction over defense, foreign af-
fairs, currency and finance, for
eign and interstate commerce and
external and interstate communi-
cations, including ports. The Erit-
rean government is given other
powers.
An imperial federal advisory
council, composed of an equal
number of representatives from
each territory, would be formed
and Eritrea would be re-represent-
ed in the federal legislature in the
proportion which it's population is
to that of the federation.
A UN commissioner would be
selected to advise on the organiza-
ton Of the administration and as
sist in the transfer of authority.

4 o'clock of the Committee of
Management of the USO-YMCA
plans will probably be worked
out so that the YMCA can be
continued.
Turner said that anyone in the
city who was interested in the
YMCA was invited to attend.
Il am hoping that some way
will be worked out so that the
YMCA can be continued, said
Turner today. THE YMCA is al
most exclusively for the U. S.
Navy. The boys come in by the
hundreds to the local Y to while
away their idle hours.
There is no place else where
they can feel free in Key West.
They can go to saloons and
such places, of course, but the
many deent lads who are in the
Navy need some such place as
that maintained by the YMCA."
Turner issued warning to all
the vendors that have been sell
ing anything to the USO- YMCA
to get their bills in promptly.
They will be paid off finally as
of January 3lst.
Notices to the employees of the
USO-YMCA state that they will
be paid up to February 8. After
that they will be on their own,
Turner said.
"The USO is defunct after ia
nuary 81" said Turner. ''The
people of the United States no
longer are supporting the USO,
and the treasury of the USO is
now practically flat. 1t was rela-
lively easy to get funds during
the war years, but people no
longer seem to be interested.
There are so USO- YMCA's in
continental United States. They
will be out of business on Janu-
airy 3lSt. There just isn't any
more money to carry on the
work.

will pay one professional work

poets the entire community to

of the first quarter, fish had been
entered in eleven different CLASH
ficationS, and in these groupings
were some catches the folks can
well write home about.
Shrimping Fleet Comes
To Key West
The arrival of shrimp boats in
teh city to make their home port
to catch shrimp that have been
located off the shores of Key
West, is welcome news to the
commercial fishermen in this
area, who this year have had
some of the toughest breaks in
their fishing careers. The sta
tioning OF the shrimp fleet here
even temporarily, will prove
to be a boon to many fishermen
in the area, who make their
livelihood from the sea. The sea-
son has been bad for them, let's
hope at long last their luck will
turn the other way.
Police Are On The Job
The traffic hazard that arises
through cars double parking on
the boulevard afternoons, when
, the charter boats come in and
workers were returning to the
| CITY from Boca Chica, has been
overcome to a great extent by the
cooperation of the city in having
the area patrolled by motor
cycle police. Cars will still oc-
casionally drive up to the fish
racks and stop, but not for long.
The police are there to ask them
to move on.
The use of the boulevard as a
speedway by cars has also dimin-
jished noticeably. And again the
police are responsible for the
elimination of this dangerous
practice. Citations, and not those
issued in the fishing tournament,
are given to violators AS a re-
suit, the signs placed along the
boulevard stating the speed
limits in the area have come to
have some meaning.
Dolphin Have Their Day
Sunday, was dolphin day at
the Garrison Blight. Five entries
were received in this classified
ton alone. And fishermen say
they were as plentiful as they
had seen in some time. While
none were caught to top the lead
ing entry in the first quarter, the
outlook is bright for heavier
catches.

AS we told you, catches this
quarter appear to be heavier than
those in the first. Heaviest amber
