afterward he kept in his pocket

that this was not enough to en-
able one to act intelligently in a
meeting where there were trouble
some members; and furthermore
that many chairmen had entirely
different notions about rules of

the President out of the 1948 race,

Urges Educators 10
Fiqht Racial Haired

A University of Maryland dean
today called on educators to lead
the way in a battle against racial
and religious hatred.
Declaring that hatred and mis-
understanding are weapons more
dangerous to America than those
of steel, flame or nuclear fis-
sion," DR.. Harold BENJAMIN, dean
of Maryland's College of Educa-
ton made the keynote address at
a regional conference on discrim-
ination in higher education at
American universities.
The underlying cause of hatreds
said Mr.. Benjamin, is fear and
ignorance.
"These shadowy enemies can dc
tremendous things to our people,
he said. They can take differ
ences in color and magnify then
until we have whole system ol
economic and social barriers. They
can transform good men into crue
monsters"
Divisiveness Increases.
"Divisiveness" among races ane
religious groups. said DR.. Benja'
min, has increased since Worlt
War I. He said people seem Il
fear each other more today.
In Maryland, for instance. HI
said the Legislature had imposed
a law that requires State employee
to take an oath that they are no
Communists. Although he did no
mention the Ober law by name
DR.. Benjamin said so far the onl.
effect of the law has been to cos
-four or five" Quakers their job
because their consciences woult
not allow them to take the oaths
DR.. Benjamin cited the attack
of Senator Mccarthy, Republican
of Wisconsin as another indica
ton of paramount fear.
Even at the University of Mary
land, DR.. Benjamin said, the prob
lem of "divisiveness stares me il
the face" He did not elaborate
Maryland does not admit Negroe
in most of its schools.
Education Held Needed.
"We have to fight these prob
lens with education-a specia
kind of education aimed a
adults" said the dean. 1--WE hav
to plan carefully together to NEE
particular conditions. Education
must give us the necessary marks
, manship to shoot down thes
enemies"
After DR.. Benjamin's talk, ap
proximately IS educators attend
ing the conference divided int,
groups for informal discussion o
discrimination problems. The one
day voluntary meeting is an out

ence on Discrimination in Colleg
