Apartheid In
South Africa
Bad On Economy

CAPE TOWN, Oct. 23-An adj
mission that the Governments ap-
artheid policy runs counter to the
economci development of the coun-
try and is impracticable, was made
by Minister of Labour, B. ]. Schoe-
man, at Nationalist Party confer
ence last week.
Since the country was passing
through period of considerable in
dustrial expansion, which the Gov
eminent was encouraging as much
as possible, said the Minister, it
was impossible to promise a solu-
ton to the farm-labour problem.
ignoring the prison-labour
scheme of his colleague, the Minis
ter of Justice, Schoeman said that
the Government could not compel
workers to work for certain en-
ployers as might be done in totali-
tartan countries. He did not think
the people of South Africa would
agree to depriving workers, whe-
Their European or non-European, of
their individual freedom.
The Government could not tell
native or colored workers that they
must go to the farms or be put in
concentration camps or prisons, the
Minister went on. Most colored
workers even went without their
unemployment allowances rather
than accept work on the farms.

Tenn. j. Trustees
10 Study Negro
Applications

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 23-
(1NS) - University of Tennessee
trustees will meet in Knoxville to-
day to consider a possible solution
to the problem of maintaining seq
regation at the university.
Gov. Gordon Browning revealed
plan whereby the university
would be raised to university level
and would award university de-
grees.
The Tennessee legislature in 1919
authorized raising the state agri-
cultural and industrial college for
Negroes in Nashville and Mem
phis State College to university
level.
However, the Governors plan
was was impelled by a recent rul-
ing by the State Attorney General
that Negroes would have to be adj
mitted to the university graduate
schools since there are no facili-
ties for professional training avail
able to them in Negro schools.

VICKSBURG, Miss. - The Mis-

and Daughters of Tabor, will hold
its annual Grand Session at the
Fredonia Baptist Church, Tunica,
Mississippi, November 6-1O, 1850.
This organization, the oldest and
perhaps the largest purely Negro
fraternal order in the world, owns
the much publicized Taborian Hos
pital in the all Negro town of
Mound Bayou, Mississippi.
P. M. Smith, executive head of
the organization, predicts that this
will be one of the most significant
annual sessions ever to be held.
This is due, partly, to the fact that
a mammoth Taborian Hospital
rally is scheduled for this meeting
looking forward to the addition Of
a $35O,0O0 annex to the eight year
old health institution. Financial
goal for the Hospital Rally Day,
which will be Wednesday, Novem-

Negro Nurse
Association To
Be Disbanded

NEW YORK-(Atlas) THE Ma
tional Association of Colored
Nurses has accomplished its pur-
poses,. and will be disbanded dur
ing the first of the year. This
was announced this week at a tea
held to explain why a Negro
nurses organization was no longer
necessary.
The association was started in
1908 to work for admission of Ne
gro girls to nursing schools, and
to help them find jobs.
"Now," said Mrs. Mabel X.
Staupers, the associations presi-
ident, "the situation has changed
a lot"
AS recently as just before World
War II, Negro girls who wanted
to become nurses could study at
one Of twenty-eight schools for
Negroes only at one Of fourteen
others out of a national total Of
1000. Now Negro girls are adj
mitted to $50 schools, and are be-
ing accepted more and more in
hospitals, in public health agencies
and in the apmed forces. The
question of why Negro nurses were
not serving their country in 1914
45 is no longer the 81 dollar ques-
ton.
Since 1948, Negro nurses in the
few remaining areas where state
affiliates of the American Nurses
Association would not admit them.

Segregation Even
In Public Parks, !

JOHANNESBURG, Oct. "a -
Public parks and recreation

Africa's largest city, will belong to
whites only" from now on, and
members Of "other racial groups"

the "other racial groups against

cation is directed. These latter
the African and Indian peoples

CoIored Members
Leaving Dutch
Church In Africa

CAPE TOWN, Oct. "a = Color
ed members of the Dutch Reform
ed Church, which supports the Gov
eminent and its policy of apar-
theid, are beginning to break away
from the church and get up on
their own. Last week one non-Eu-
ropean section of the d r C in
Cape Town, together with their
pastor, founded new church NAM
ed the Calvinist Protestant Church
of South Africa.
The ever-increasing restrictive
application of apartheid to nom
Europeans since Malan came to
power is the chief reason for the
breakaway. In manifesto sent to
the governing body of the d. R.
Mission Church, signed by 26. out
of 80 church deacons and 80 per
cent of the congregation, the foun-
ders of the new church say they
are convinced that human relations
have reached the breaking point,
even in the sphere of the church,
land it is with an eye to more
healthy race relations that we
choose to GO forward unhindered.
The church's policy of trusteeship
is no longer acceptable to us, as
we have already reached maturity,
and we therefore frankly declare
that we feel capable of managing
our own church affairs"
This move is likely to be follow
ed by landslide of colored MEM
bers from the DRC, where COM
plete segregation is observed be-
tween Europeans and non-Euro-
peans.

THE WOMAN IN THE HARBOR
There's a woman in the harbor,
who's arm is stretched to God,
She's guarding all the precious
miles,
OF earth my feet have trod.
She's there in the summer, from
dusk to the break of day,
just keeping watch, for all her
sons, who've journeyed far away.
From there, never realized,
how much she meant TO me,
I took my life forgranted,
in that haven Of the free,
but now since | have Travelled Ger
half this troubled earth,
I know there il no other land,
Ike that which gave me birth.
And like her many thousand sons
who now are over there,
to God my heavenly father,
raise this daily prayer,
that some day in the future |,
again may trod.
With the woman in the harbor,
who's arm Is stretched To God.

There is absolutely nothing to
it." said Greenberg. IT talked to

some players both the Indians and

Reports are persistent that Red
Corriden will not be retained by
the Sox for next season and that
the job will be given to some man
