Smith Says Segregation
Will End In 10 Years

ATLANTA - CAMP - Lillian
Smith, noted Georgia author and
strong advocate of human rights
told a racially mixed audience
here Sunday that segregation is
doomed as a southern pattern and
predicted that it would fade
within 10 years.
The author OF Strange Fruit"
and ''Killers of the Dream"
speaking at the monthly open
forum at Friendship Baptist
church, said that segregation is
poison that affects the personali-
ties of both races. She warned
against the practice of enlarging
on racial differences and advised
that people should be looked upon
as human beings" and not judg-
ed on the basis of their racial
origin.
Segregation" declared Miss
Smith, sis a wall that White
people have been leaning on for
decades" When the wall is re-
moved they will have to learn to
stand on their own feet, she
pointed out. Whites in many in
stances, she said, have become
angry and blamed Negroes for
their own sins committed.
Miss Smith was very optimistic
over the fading Of jimcrow, but
she said that the north has re-
Taxed its fight against racial bias.
She commented that some day
the south may have to send mis-
sionaries to help the north's ills.
The work of the NAACP came
in for special high praise from
Miss Smith. She complimented
the NAACP for its methods in
seeking redress through the courts
and making full use of the facil-
titles made possible by the u. S.
Constitution and the Declaration
OF independence.

Bob Smith. who went through
more in his "boyhood" than most
people do in lifetime. reached
the traditional and legal age of
maturity yesterday.
A grateful group of citizens
from every State and most terri
tories gave him a $116,000 trust
fund as partial repayment for the
two arms and two feet he lost
as a result of frostbite in Korea.
Bob, the first quadruple ampu-
tee of the Korean war, signed the
trust agreement at an ice cream
and birthday cake party at Wal
ter Reed Army Medical Center.
Money for the youth started
pouring in as soon as news of his
condition was announced last De-
.cember. Some of it came directly
to him at the hospital. Some
came to the Pennsylvania depart
ment of the American Legion,
which started a fund drive in his
behalf. 1t was under auspices of
the Legion that the trust fund was
set up. Bob's home is in Middle
burg, Pa.
S400 Monthly Income.
The fund will provide him with
an income of about $400 a month
after taxes. His Government pen
sion will add $3.50 to this.
Under provisions of the trust,
Bob can also draw up to s2.500 a
year from the principal. He can
draw $4,000 from the principal
to buy a home, and similar
amount to invest in a business.
Many of Bob's ward mates
crowded into a Walter Reed sun
room for the party and the for
mality of the trust signing. A
huge, 200-pound cake shaped like
an open book took up one end of
the room.
Icing on top wished q happy
birthday to Bob Smith-"a blue
ribbon veteran" The cake was
brought by legion officials from a
bakery near Bob's home.
Bob signed-or pretended to
sign-the agreement many times
before the newsreel and newspaper
photographers were satisfied.
He also made many slices in the
cake for the photographers. He
firmly grasped the pen and the
knife in the hook fitted on his
right arm. The youth is now high
ly adept at use of the hooks, and
shrugged off any attempts to help
him light cigarettes or do other
things.
