Segregated Education
Hit by Speaker al
Miner Centennial

A New York State educator said
last night it is not possible to edu-
cate persons for democracy and
human brotherhood in segregated
schools.
DR.. Ernest o. Melby. dean oil

ment in an address at the centen-
nial celebration of Miner Teach
ers' College.
The educator told his colored
audience in the college auditorium
that white persons who think 1t
is good to have their children edu-
Gated apart from colored students
are making mistake.
"The white children are being
hurt most" he said. '"The person
who commits an injustice Is al
ways the one who suffers. The
other person doesn't suffer as
much, although he Is q victim OF
injustice"
AS an example, DR.. Melby cited
the German persecution Of the
Jews before and during World
War II. Recent visits to German
and Israel convinced him that
the Israelites are among the
strongest spiritual and moral peo-
pie in the world today, while the
Germans are now weak" he said.

SETTING UP FOR
LAW
Motor Vehicle Division Pre-
pairing for Safety RespOns-
ibility Law
GOES IN EFFECT JAN. 1

In anticipation of the additional
duties required under the Safety
Responsibility Law which goes into
effect January first, Harold H. Kel-
Ter, Commissioner of Motor Vehic-
les has announced that the records
and procedures of his offices are be-
ing revised to. give the Motor We
hicle Division the most effective,
economical and modern methods
possible. Through careful study
and planning, many Implications OF
effort are being eliminated, and a
large amount of space will be saved
in the Department by a consolida-
ton of files. Under the new plan,
a different type of Certificate of
Title will be issued. Titles will be
validated, and transcription work
will be eliminated to save confus-
ion and subsequent expense. Ap-
plications for new registrations and
titles will be made simultaneously.
The Registration Form has been
designed to permit the economical
gathering of valuable statistical
data not heretofore obtainable.
Such information as weight, type
and classification of commercial
vehicles can provide other state
departments with information ex-
tremely helpful in planning high
way, bridge, traffic control and
safety problems. The new drivers
licensing system is devised SO that
one application will produce all
basic records used by the Depart
ment. New licenses will furnish
description and signature as it is
Photographic facsimile of the ap-
plication. Much closer control OF
licensing can be exercised as a
complete history of a drivers rec
ord can be instantly obtained. Mr.
Keller stated that with the ire
mendously speeded record handling
it will be possible to handle all
public contacts on an "over the
counter" basis and immediate in
formation will be available to the
State Police Department to aid in
their Driver Improvement Pro-
gram.
