NAACP ASKS PRESIDENT
vi. COMMISSIONER

Washington, April Favor
able consideration of bin provid
ing for a resident commissioner
OF the Virgin Islands was urged
this week by Roy wilkins, acting
secretary of the National Assoeia-
ton for the Advancement of Col
ored People. The bin was approy-
ed by the House Public Lands com
mittee in April, 1919, and is pre-
sently bottled up in the House
Rules Committee.
In a letter to President Harry
5. Truman, Mr.. Wilkins Indicated
that other territories. have re-

ton to do a very effective lob

tlzens in remote areas" He fur
Their stated that a resident COM
missioner for the Virgin Islands
would do much to promote friend

States and Caribbean countries. >
Mr.. Wilkins wrote Chairman
Adolph j. SABBATH of the House
Rules Committee that the long
delay in considering this bill in
eyitably leads to the conclusion
that it is being held up because
the people of the Virgin Islands
are largely colored, and, for this
reason, some members of the
Rules Committee do not wish to
give them a representative.
The NAACP position was also
expressed to Chairman Joseph C.
O'Mahoney of the Senate Commit
tee on Interior and Insular Az
fairs.

KENTUCKY COLLEGES RELAX
Ran ON NEGROES

Bars against admission of
Negroes to Kentucky colleges are
being removed rapidly with
amendment of the Day Segrega-
ton Law.
Latest institution to open its
doors to Negroes is the University
Of Louisville. Trustees Of this col
iege have voted unanimously to
admit Negroes to the graduate and
professional schools next Septem-
Der, and To the whole university
IN September of 1851.
At the same time, the trustees
voted to close louisville Munich

University of Louisville, at the
end of the 195o-195 term. Iron

Aproblem child is rare, but he
exists. He is one who behaves in
an unusual way and will not be
persuaded to adopt more intelli-
gent way. Many problem traits
appear during adolescence. When
the child's growth is completed he
becomes more amenaple to advice.
But by then it often is too late to
help him make up what he lost
during his alteration. But we
have to keep trying during those
years and afterward as well, to
bring him to a sense of responsible
ity for himself and others.
A lad Of IT. apparently doing
well in school, decided he was 60
ing to be a preacher. He joined a
church whose members had de-
cided that the old church organ
izations were all wrong and that
they alone knew the way to God
and goodness. The leader of the
group was uneducated and this lad
decided he did not need an educa-
tion either, although his parents
pleaded with him to see that every
good clergyman he ever knew
about was wel-educated person,
trained for his work. He said he
could get along without education.
Nobody objected to his learning
how, but he objected to studying

The ProbIemChiId

Such queerness appears in young
people every once in a while and
parents are at a loss to know what
to do. In my experience the only
thing that can be done is to call
in the help of stranger, one who
knows nothing of the home back
ground, but who understands
young peoples ways and who has
been trained to aid them in times
of difficulty. A clergyman, physi-
clan, social worker, teacher, Scout
master or another we'll trained,
intelligent and understanding per-
son for whom the child has respect,
can best serve.
Occasionally a change of envi-
ronment helps. A girl who had
sulked for months, refusing to go
to school, refusing to do anything
but just exist, changed within a
year after being sent to a friends
home in the country. There no
mention of home, family or rela-
tives was made until she mentioned
them. A boy came to life after he
had a few conversations with a
psychologist and a clergyman who
discovered that he really wanted
to use his hands more than his
head. One needed another kind
of diet. Another's home was the
wrong place for him.
You never can tell. It Is best to
call in outside help.

Beef

A wonderful Maine dish that
makes the most of a round of beef
is "smothered beef"-something
on the order of a pot roast. 1t is
cooked in the oven instead of on
top of the stove and the flavor is
out of this world.
Wipe about 2 pounds of beef
round with a damp cloth and then
roll it in seasoned flour, scar it
in hot fat on both sides, and put
it into a casserole. Add any left
over flour.
Saute a couple of onions, minced
fine, in the fat. add a cup Of
canned tomatoes and y cup boil
ing water. When the mixture
boils, pour it over the meat in
the casserole. which has been lib
orally sprinkled with 3 stalks Of
celery and / green pepper, all
chopped very fine. Cover the cas-
serole and let bake in slow oven
for about 4 hours, when the meat
should be deliciously tender.

colors and is really amazing in
it's durability. After something
has been constructed with it, it
can literally be hurled onto the
floor, and we have seen a man
standing on it without it's collaps-
ing or breaking. The plastic set
may be had for 1895 or a far
larger one for $7.95. The metal
sets start at around SIS and run
all the way to $29. Most toy de-
partments have them.
Needless to say, Hopalong Cas-

Buying for Junior and Susie
can be the most fun or the deepest
Illustration of this whole fine, hec-
tic season. Toys please the adult
giver almost as much as the chill
dren who receive them. and per-
haps in some cases, like electric
trains and wonderful doll houses,
even more. That's the fun part.
The Illustration comes when you
get right into your favorite toy
department and are confronted
with Kriss Kringle's Khaos. Amer
lea the bountiful offers almost too
many choices. What should I
get? What will they like? What's
different? viii it fit their ages?
These are the puzzlers. This COL
umn will try to solve your prob
lens by pointing out the best of
the new and the proven favorites.
And not all of the toys will be
found in toy departments-there
are also the lumber yards, art
supply shops. and hobby shops!
If the object Of your affections
is 1h to 3 years old, he is
leraning colors, and perfecting
finger manipulation. There is
in one store a splendid set
of plastic balls, or rather half
balls. that are to be matched in
color and then strung. The balls
are large enough to be easily han
died by the very small. and the
colors are bright and clear for easy
matching. There are also good
plastic beads in all colors and
shapes, somewhat smaller in size
and so more useful to those with
good finger control, say 3 or 4
year olds. Both sets sell for 81
each. available at a Seventh street
store.
Another fine gift for the very
young child is a wooden postal
station (mail box) with a SQUARE
cut In the top, a circle on front.
and a triangle on the back.
Square. circular. and triangular
blocks come with this, and they
can only be put into the station
through the proper shaped hole.
Very educational and very inter-
esting. $2.95 almost everywhere,
we saw 1t on Seventh street.
Children seem to be demanding
and getting more realism in their
toys each year, which could be
good or bad. but If you have any
small fry interested in nursing
and doctoring. and they all are
they're sure to think it good. The
only things not included in the
new medical sets are surgical ia
bles and a good sharp scalpel.
Small Fry Doctor Kit" has a
metal microscope, a really durable
stethoscope. paper cups, and end
less necessities for the well-equip-
ped doctors Office. The Patsy
Nurse Outfit" also includes rubber
gloves! Price of each is s1.95 at
a Seventh street store. Other kits
go as high as $5.95, without being
a great deal better. These medical
kits usually please the 4-to-7 year
group.
The construction age begins at
about 4 or 5 and reaches its peak
at about 10, although older chill
dren have spent happy hours
helping their younger brothers
and sisters construct. This proba-
bly, leads to graduate work as a
sidewalk superintendent. Tried
and true, Erector sets are designed
to meet this urge. and they now
are capable Of much more than
they were when we were very
young. Any young genius can make
anything he or she likes from

South Korea Capable
OF Bucking Red North,
u. 5. Officials Believe

American officials believe South
Korea's security forces are ade-
quate to meet any aggression from
Communist North Korea as long
as the North Koreans do not have
active help from the Russian
army.
This opinion was expressed to-
day by informants who pointed
out that North Korea apparently
has already done its utmost tc
disrupt the American backed
South Korea Republic by guer-
rilla warfare.
With an army of nearly 100000
and a police force of $4,000, the
South Koreans are reported to
have killed since last October more
than 5000 Communist guerrillas
inf1ltrated from the north. Their
losses have been only about one
tenth of this.
A group of American officers is
training the South Korean forces,
which are equipped with materiel
left behind by United States oc-
cupation forces that Withdrew last
summer.
Meanwhile, the South Korean
government has acted swiftly to
meet recent recommendations by
Secretary of State Acheson for
early elections and stern measures
to halt imitation. Mr.. Acheson
warned a few weeks ago that con-
tinued American aid might de-
pend on such action.
Since his warning, the Korean
Assembly has passed a balanced

budget measure and raised taxes,
as much as 800 per cent in some
cases. The government has aban-
doned plans to postpone national
elections and has announced they
will be held May 80. Nearly 1,400
candidates have filed for the 200
seats in the Assembly.
American officials now believe
that, while the Korean republic
is not yet out of the woods eco
nomically, 1t will be able to con-
troll initiation If measures under
taken are pursued vigorously.

viewing the entire Korean situa-
