Dr.. Seoqrove Not q Traitor

The effect of the action of the Burmese high
court in freeing Dr. Gordon Seagrave, famed
Burma surgeon" Is to remove the brand of
traitor placed upon him by lower court. Cor
respondents who heard the flinlsy testimony
against the Burma-born American doctor were
shocked that he was adjudged guilty of treason.
Burmas Court of Appeals apparently shared the
popular belief that the main treason charges
had not been proved. The high court upheld
only lesser charge that Dr. Seagrave aided rebel
troops, and ruled that the six months he already
had spent in prison was sufficient punishment.
The rebel aid of which Dr. Seagrave finally
stands convicted was medical aid, circumstance
which no doubt led to reduction of the original
hve-year sentence to time served. The whole
episode reflects no real discredit on the surgeon
who has spent most of his life ministering to
Burmese of all tribes and stations. The doctor
freely admitted giving medical supplies to Karen
rebels in 1949, but this was during period when
the rebels had captured Namkham and had set
up machine guns on the front lawn of the Sea-
grave hospital there. He was hardly in posi-
tion to resist the rebels demands for supplies.
The high-treason charges were based on letter
which DR.. Seagrave wrote to nurse during the
rebel occupation. But Burma's supreme court
has ruled that the letter not reasonable.
The happy outcome of this dark chapter of
DR.. Seagraves remarkable story of peacetime
and wartime services In the land of his birth
will be welcomed by every one who knows him
or who has read his account of experiences with
the late General Stilwell during the retreat from
Burma Burma still has need of self f-sacrifcing
men like the Burma surgeon

Brotherhood

Not long ago. I attended church
services with friend from Panama. We
visited a restaurant for breakfast. One
glass of water was set before me; my
friend was ignored. When it came time
to give our orders, we were informed that
I would be served but that my friend
would have to take her order outside.
It is strange that an incident of this
sort should happen during Brotherhood
Month, and at time when the United
States desperately needs friends in other
lands for its own security and defense.

This is the one way to unite the lead
er's hands, to give him the freedom
and power to act in the manner he
knows in his own mind is best for the
country. It's the one way of removing the
President from the confning cage he

Failing this restriction, it seems we

the President saw nothing Of each other

The concensus of the doctors regard

his future was that If he would live
within his physical reserve. it was be-
lieved he could carry on the strenuous
and exacting work of the presidency.

great deal of him, due to certain social
obligations as well as the framing of
his inaugural address.
He left Immediately for the Yalta
Conference; the long sea trip to the island
of Malta did much to provide the rest ne
needed. But the Yalta Conference called
for great output of energy over a
period of eight days, during which he
was constantly in conferences with Mr..
Churchill and Premier Stain. This con-
ference. too, involved day and night ses-
Sions, together with the needed work
with his own staff. Even so, at the end
OF these talks he was able to fly to Egypt
where he received the King of Egypt the
King Of Abyssinia and the King of Saudi
Arabia. In all the days saw President
Roosevelt in action, I cannot remember
one where he was more alert than dur
ing the days Of these conferences.
The long trip home was marred by the
death of Gen. Watson, his military aide,
which saddened him greatly He contin-
ued to work on the Yalta report to be
presented to the Congress. Following his
return he went through strenuous days
picking up the events that were neces-

same time putting the finishing touches
on prepa1 ations for the United Nations
Assembly to be held on April 81.
In this period, the President was un-
fortunate enough to pick up a virus

and lowered his physical condition. It
was because of this that he went to

BY JULIUS ]. ADAMS

NEW YORK CITY - This is
70 say that Harlem took the new
amos NJ Andy Television show
in stride as the opus made its de-
but on the co-axial cables last
Thursday night. Your New York
observer is not saying that ap-
prevail was unanimous, nor that
total acceptance was expressed.
The consensus, however, was that
tine initial show stood up. Opin-
ions ranged from, 81 saw nothing
wrong with it," to It was
darn good show" and "It is
break for Negroes in TeleviSion."
Then, of course there were those
who felt they would rather with
hold judgement until later on,
taking the position that, this was
the first one, and naturally, the
producers wanted to put their
best fOotforward.
And let's hasten to say there
was a small body of dissenters.
There didn't seem to be anything
thnse protesting could put their
fingers on in the show, but they
just didn't like it. Most of them
presumably, were people who
have not liked the Amos NJ Andy
concept and have all along been
against the show as produced on
radio over the past 20-odd years.
For one thing, however, most
people admit difference in the
effect of radio and televiSion as
a medium of communication.
There Is a greater impact in.
televiSion than there is in radio"
one old timer remarked, adding
THAT what might not be too objec-
tional coming from words spok--
en- by unseen individual, might
be just the opposite if the speak,
er is visible.
This would seem to be in line
with the Chinese proverb that,
one picture is worth a thousand
words. If the story is a pretty
one and is told by picture, it is
a thousand times prettier; if am
ugly one, it's a thousand times
uglier.
Taken altogether and if the at
titude of Harlem - generally
conceded to be the barometer Of
Negro feeling throughout the
country - may be accepted as
the temper of Negro communities
the Amos NJ Andy show has a
good chance of escaping serious
criticism.
If future shows are, no worse
than the initial one and get bet
ter as time goes on, the, series
may become a decided hit.

NEW YORK - July s.

this week urged President Tru-

in the form Of an open letter to

ment accompanying the request,
Granger said: We have exhausted
the last possibility of improve

tiations with responsible Off

Pointing out that discrimina-
tory practices on atomic energy
projects 'tare in violation of the
Presidents directive on the sub
ject and show a call0uS disregard
for the citizen morale of our ma
