1000 CoIIegians Here
Take Test 10 HeIp
Decide Draft Status
Washington, q. C.
SUNDAY, JUNE IL, 1851

More than 1000 Washington
area college men yesterday waded
through 3-hour qualification test
to help draft boards decide wheth-
er they should be deferred from
military service next fall.
The LOIS men made up the Sec
ond group Of about 10000 stu
dents throughout the country to
take the exams offered by Sc
lective Service to let them prove
their value to the Nations future
security as students.
After taking the exams at spe-
cial testing centers at six uni
versities here, most of the men
declined to guess how they did.
They won't be able to find out for
sure until the middle of next
month. when the grades will be
sent to local draft boards.
Some Grades Received.
District draft officials said they
have received only about 100
grades from the first tests. taken
May rs. They advised students
who took the May 26 exams to
wait another week at least before
making inquiries of draft boards.
AS after the May Is tests, the
men interviewed last night agreed
that many of the $50 questions In
the test were tough. But most also
agreed the exam will do the job
1t was set up to do--test ability toI
learn rather than gauge purely
academic knowledge.
To James Lynde. IS. of IA West
Custis avenue, Alexandria, the test
was based on logic" He guessed
it would favor science majors and
weed out arts students"
This will likely aid the war
effort, because it will keep out of
service prospective SCIENTISTS" he
added.

Also interviewed at GEORGE

les was the only field of study in
which specific knowledge was de-
manded.

was contained in the statement.

Ethiopia Sends 1000
Man Unit To Korea

Adds ABABA, Ethiopia -
(ANP) - A battalion of 1000
men left here last week bound
for police duty with the UN
troops in Korea. Emperor Halle
Selassie sped the troops on their
way by personally presenting the
colorS to them.
Coincident with their depar-
ture, the Coptic Christian church
gave the troops a special diSpen-
Sation so that they may eat u. S.
army rations. The unit is COM
posed mainly of Coptic Christ
tians who are required by their
faith to maintain a diet similar
to that of orthodox Jews. In ad-
dition they are not allowed to
drink or smoke.
Since the unit will not be able
to follow their religious diet, the
archbishop gave them special
permission to partake of u. S.
army rationS.
All members of the battalion are
volunteers and are equipped with
British rifles and battle dress.
Each soldier wears a shoulder
patch bearing the word "Ethio-
pia." There is a Coptic chaplain
to serve the religious needs of the
unit.

Urban League
Accepts Caldwell
Invite; Clarifies Stand

Dear Mr.. Caldwell:
Mr.. Lloyd Garrison, the Pres
ldent of the National Urban
League, has asked me to convey
to you our acceptance of your re-
quest that official representa-
t1ves of this organization attend
the Civil Defense Conference in
Washington on May Z and 8 at
the Hotel Statler. The names of
our representatives will be sent
TO you within few days.
The question of civil defense
against the threat of modern war
fare is one that involves the very
existence of all Americans, no
matter what their race, political
belief or geographical areas of
residence. For this reason, the,
National Urban League unre-
servedly supports any effort cal
culated to unite the American
people in an efficient plan for
protection of civilian life and re-
sources in case of war disaster.
1t is with this sense of a national
civic responsibility that the Ur-
ban League will be represented
at your conference.
However, in view of the public
discussion that accompanied an
nouncement of your appointment
to head the federal civil defense
program, it is necessary for this
organization to state its position
very clearly, so as to avoid any
possibility that acceptanceAof your
invitation be miSconStrued. The
National Urban League, concern
ed as it is with the total citizen
ship of our Negro population, op-
poses and will continue to oppose
any official or unofficial policy
which tends to cheaper the status
of Negro Americans as indivi-
dualS or weaken their position as
fully participating citizens with
in the whole American commun-
ity.
In your letter you expressed
hope that the forthcoming con-
ference will lay ''the founda-
ton for a national educational
program which can quickly over
come our greatest and most i'm
mediate enemy - the apathy of
the American people to their own
danger" A considerable part of
that apathy can, without doubt,
be attributed to a serious uncer-
tainty among too many Ameri-
cans as to the true nature of the
Democracy for which they are
asked to make sacrifices. That
uncertainty is greatly encouraged
among our Negro population
when officials holding important
state or federal posts assume at
titudes which disparage the abil-
ity and full citizenship status of
any racial group within the pop
ulation.
For this reason, the National
Urban League hopes that a part
of the conference program will be
given over to a direct and soul
searching discussion of this most
important factor in our national
Morale.
Sincerely yours,
Lester B. Granger
Executive Director

Trip Literally Back To School
Along With Al (Ten New Teachers
No Sidewalks Use of Park Street Is
Urged Until Bypass Is Completed

Eight hundred students and for
ty-one teachers began school at
Richard Montgomery on Monday.
Revised class periods, ten new
teachers, building and road con-
struction, and an influx of ITO sew
enth graders new to the school
made it an exciting day.
New class periods are fifty min
utes long. Lunch period has been
extended to the same length from
thirty minutes.
New teachers are Miss June
Frances Bladen, Mrs. Ida H. Ches-
ney, Mrs. Antoinette S. Gendron,
Clifford L. Gonyer, John E. Maley,
Roger M. Shaw, Jr., Mrs. Wanda
Slominski, William C. Sonnenberg,
James G. Steele, and Hubert F.
Werner.
A large excavation for the new
gymnasium prevents access to the
cafeteria by the usual three en-
frances. The one service entrance
is now being used for service and
admittance of the eight hundred
students and the faculty. Two
lunch periods are needed, as usual,
to serve the student population. A
fire escape at the rear of the build
ing is being built to comply with
fire regulations.
Because there is no sidewalk be-
tween Park Street and the en-
trance to Richard Montgomery,
students are being encouraged to
use the new asphalt road connect
ing Park Street and the campus
until the new bypass is complete.
