It Seems To Me
BY Margaret Goss Burroughs
for. AMP


Did you ever hear about Harriet.
Tubman? Born a slave, she is per-
haps one of the greatest women
that America has produced. She
had a burning desire to be free.
and suiting the desire to the action,
she ran away from her master
and joined up with those other
fighters for freedom. the aboli--
tionists.
She organized and helped to man
the underground railroad preceding
the Civil war. Practically SINGLE
handed she led over two hundred
slaves to free territory. This
earned for her the title of Gem
eral Moses" Yes, she led the slaves
to Canaan landi And brothers and
sisters, you might think that the
word Canaan only had reference
to heaven but it had more than
that. To the slaves. Canaan meant
freedom. Some historians say that
it meant Canada, our neighboring
country, which was a haven for
the slaves.
And each time that the slaves
sang GO down Moses" they did
not always refer to the biblical
character either. Often they meant,
Go down Harriet and let my peo~
pie CO."
Yes, Harriet rubman was quite
woman. Usually she carried a
rifle on her trips and If slave
dared to turn coward and wished
to turn back to the plantation she
didn't hesitate to Use 1t. She
would jam the muzzel of the rifle
into the frightened ones back and
say, Go ahead or die" You can
guess what the final decision was.
During the Civil war, Harriet
served as a nurse and a spy on
the Union side. Disguised as a man,
this tall gaunt black woman was a
familiar sight on the battle fields,
comforting and administering to
the wounded.
This woman, unlettered, litter
ate. who couldn't even write her
name, spent her whole life in ser
vice that we today might enjoy
the slight measure of freedom
that we do enjoy. John Brown,
who led the historic raid at Har-
per's Ferry said while he was fac
ing the gallows for his act, that if
Harriet Tubman had not been i'll
at the time of his raid, that her
influence might have insured its
success.

The law is due to expire June 30.
Many Of the Democrats who voted
for extension did so frankly in re-
spouse to an appeal made in party
caucus by majority leader Scott
Lucas. He told his colleagues his
chances to defeat his Republican
opponent in Illinois. Everett Dirk
son, hung on Democratic support
for rent control.
The following day the house
voted 2O2 to 1853 to extend the rent
control measure. The house meas
ure, however. would extend rent
control seven months.
Now the two chambers must ap-
point a committee to iron out the
length of extension before the bill
can be sent to President Truman.
Like the senate bill. the house
measure provides that when ex-
tended federal law again runs out
ON December 81, 1850. or Janu-

version is adopted-the governing

UP to S212. 800 million a year rate
during April.
The April showing constituted a
$500 million annual-rate gain over
March and was the second consecu-
tive monthly increase.
The gain reflected an expansion
in payrolls that was largely offset
by declines in proprietors' income
and transfer payments. the de-
partment said.
The decline in proprietor's income
occurred chiefly in farm income as
livestock marketing receipts de-
clined in a season when they nor
mally rise.

THE rise stemmed primarily

He doubts there ever can be a

The senator, however, did not
entirely abandon the music Of iso-

most to meeting the challenge (of
Russia) If it maintains "a free

U. S. Just ToIking

Sixteen outstanding scientists,
educators. and clergymen have is
sued a five-point program calling
for total disarmament and accus-
ing the United States of just paying
lip service to disarmament while
actually d~iscouraging such a step.
The five points:
/. An immediate halt to atomic
bomb production, with stockpiles
to be taken ove by the U. N. pend
ing further negotiations.
acceptance of the Soviet pro-
posal for national-rather than in
ternational-atomic ownership, I'M
der an agreement blocking large
scale production.
8. Acceptance Of the American
proposal for international inspec-
ton Of atomic and pro-
Guction.
4. A compromise in the U. S.
Soviet disagreement over whether
atomic stockpiles should be des-
troyed before or after international
controls go into effect.
S. Abolition Of all armies and
conventional ornaments at the
same time atomic weapons are de-
stroyed.
The report was signed by Albert
Einstein and novelist Louis Brom-
field, among others, and said in
part:
POLITICALLY appointed representa-
tives to the UN tell the world that
the us. wants disarmament and
only Russia stands in the way. Yet
other American officials do what
they can to discourage disarma-
ment.
Most observers agreed the pro-
gram proposed was idealistic, but
hardly practical In the light Of
world events.
