ATTLEE- Archbishop
EXCHANGE ON kHAMA

LONDON, May so The Arch
bishop of Canterbury and Prime
Minister Attlee, exchanged cor
respondence here recently on the
position of the British government
in the Seretse Khama case. The re-
suit was Attlee's reaffirmation of
Britain's adherence to a traditional
policy of on-discrimination.
The Archbishop, as president of
British Council of Churches, sent
Attlee copy of resolutions adopt
ed by the council at it's Cardiff
Meeting last April. The resolutions
asked government assurance that
the policy in regard to race re-
lations remains unchanged and
that the decisions taken in the case
of Seretse Khama were in the
interest of good government alone,
and not on grounds of racial dis
ordinations"
Attlee's reply said in part that
while 81 should have thought no
restatement of our attitude was
really called for-there has been
no alteration in the policy-they
remain entirely opposed to racial
discrimination in the territories for
which they are responsible.

Asked what feature of American

A poll of these students from

In listing racial discrimination

the problem, but the universities
should take, the lead in solving it.
Only through education can racial

Sounds Call For Group Effort
Rather Than individual Achievement
Says Right To Vote Is Highest
Symbol Of Effective Citizenship
BY LUCIUS JONES

JACKSON, MISS. - The Negro
Press was paid a glowing and sup
erlative compliment for focusing
world attention on the significant
achievements of American Negroes
during the last half century by
DR.. Frederick d. Patterson, BIS.
MS, Ph.D., president of Tuskegee
Institute, who was guest speaker
for the seventy third annual COM
mencement of Jackson College here
Monday morning at ten o'clock in
the college auditorium before ca
pacity gathering.
Dr. Patterson told the audience
and 100 robe-clad seniors-53 of
whom completed their careers Mon
day and AZ of whom end their un-
dergraduate work in the summer
that exercise of the right to vote
is the highest symbol of effective
citizenship. He said the United
States Supreme Court, highest tri-
bunal in the land, has helped to
establish this right and privilege.
Scores of Negro pioneers like

and others were cited by DIR. Pat
terson as individual greats" of the
race whose achievements have been
well covered by Negro newspa-
pers.
DR.. Patterson warned, however,
that the emphasis placed by
Negroes in the future must not be
concentrated on phenomenal at
tainment by individual Negroes as
the whole world viii Judge them by
their achievements and services as
a whole race in working for the
general welfare.

tunities for group development

Hill Favored
For Reelection

RICHMOND, VA, May 20 -
(ANP)-Oliver w. Hill, only
Negro member of the city council,
stands a good chance of being re-
elected June IS.
Mr.. Hill won two years ago with
out the support of the Richmond
Citizens association. He was the
ninth winner in the contest for a
nine-man city council defeating the
ninth white candidate on the citi-
zen's ticket.
The story is different this time.
Of the nine candidates backed by
the Richmond Citizens association,
Mr.. Hill is one of them. The or
ganization is urging the voters of
Richmond to vote for the citizens
ticket, and it is almost certain that
Mr.. Hill will be reelected.
