FISK UNIVERSITY MATH DEPT.
CONDEMNS DISCRIMINATION
AT MEETINGS AND BANQuET5

The Fisk University mathematics
department has called upon the
two leading national mathematics
organizations to outlaw discrimin-
alton at meetings, banquets. etc, it
was announced here today. In
identical letters sent to each mem
ber of the executive boards of the
American Mathematical Society
and the Mathematical Association
of America, The department re-
quested the adoption of specific
bylaws requiring that meetings,
and teas, receptions, luncheons.
dinners, etc. shall be held
only . where prior assurance
is given that there will be no dis
elimination.
The Fisk letter cites the exclu-
sion of Negro mathematician from
the banquet of the annual meeting
of the southeastern region of the
Association, held this year at Pea
tody Teachers college and VAN
derbilt Usiversity in Nashville, de-
spite ample local precedent for
inter-racial dinners.
1t states that two members of
the Fisk department requested the
Association President to with
draw from the banquet or to state
his disapproval of the discrimin-
alton in the course of his speech
but that he refused.
In addition to assuring equal
r-iC &c IN nll nf
carnations, these bylaws are
needed, according to the Fisk let
ter, to attract Negro mathema-
tIcians, nearly all of whom teach
in southern schools. and will need
such specific assurances before
they will feel inclined to partici-
pate in the work of these organ
zations." According to the Fisk
staff, most Negro mathematicians
seem assume that they are un-
welcome at southern meetings and
will be subject to Embarrassment
if they attend. The letter points
out that other scientific bodies
have already adopted such bylaws.

that meetings, and teas, receptions,

also be voted that persons holding
office shall not participate in any
way in any meeting of the organi-

Korean Vet
First To Enter
Voc. Training

WINSTON-S SALEM, N. c. - A
17-year-old disabled South Caro-
lima veteran of Korean battles this
month became the first in the
United States to enter vocational
training under 81 law passed by
i Congress late last year, the Vet
! Grams Administration said today.
The young veteran, Ralph E.
Blackwell oil Clinton, South Caro-
lima, started early in May as an
on-the-job trainee at the Clinton
Cotton Mills in his home town.
He's planning to learn the loom
ly skilled occupations in the tex
tile industry, and should reach his
goal in "a months, officials of the
, firm stated.
The new law under which he Is
training, Public Law 1874, extends
vocational rehabilitation training
formerly limited to disabled
World War II veterans-to most
veterans who received service con-
nected disabilities any time after
fighting started in Korea.
Blackwell was two years under
age when he enlisted in the Army;
his sixteenth birthday had just
passed. He was stationed in ia
pan as a student radio technician
when the North Korean invaders
struck.
Almost at once he was placed
in a combat unit that was rushed
to the front to stem the advance
of the invaders. And he was one
of those who fought against over
whelming odds until the United
Nations forces could be built up
to take the offensive.
Blackwell's unit was storming
hill just south of the Naktong
River on August Z, 1850, when he
was hit by a rifle bullet. The time
was eight o'clock in the evening.
1 Unable to move, he lay there
three hours before his buddies
could rescue him. He was carried
first to a field hospital in Pusan,
then was moved to the Osaka
Army hospital in Japan.
When he recovered, he rejoined
his unit in September, 1850. He
participated in another attack,
again at the Naktong River, be-
fore the Army discovered he still
was considerably short of IS, evac-
uated him and sent him back to
the United States in time for
Christmas, 1850.
Some time after he was injured,

he is still bothered by occasional
attacks.
Blackwell applied for vocation
al training under Public Law 894
on March 6, 1851. Twenty days
later his Army records We're re-
! ceived by VA, and on April he
was examined by VA doctors. The
following day he received advise
ment and guidance, also from VA,
i and it was determined that his
aptitudes were suitable for the
type of work he wanted to learn.
A VA training officer and the
personnel manager of Clinton
Mills together worked out two
year on-the-job training plan, at
the end of which Blackwell should
be a skilled loom fiXer.
Later on, after he gets settled
in his training. Blackwell hopes
to continue his formal education
along lines that will be useful in

Truman Continues
Work on SIS Billion
Budget; Sees Lawton
By Joseph A. Fox

KEY WEST, Fla, Dec. 6.-Pres-
ident Truman today was getting
ready to go back to work on his
forthcoming budget message,
which already is stirring contro-
versy although it will not go to
Congress for more than a month.
Budget Director Frederick j.
Lawton. who was here earlier in

is returning shortly to talk over
the prospective spending for the
fiscal year starting July l next,
and it is assumed he will have
some new figures for the Presi-
dents perusal.
$S5 Billion Budget Seen.
Reports are that the budget
will call for an outlay of between
S85 and 500 billion. as compared
to $40 billion for this year. Linked
with the spending program will
be a demand for new taxation,
and this prospect already has pro-
voked bitter opposition on Capt.
tol Hill and a renewed call for
economies.
With Congress getting back to
work on January 8. it seems likely
the budget message will go up
the following week.
