| thus one of furious controversy,
and almost inevitably the country
drifted toward war.
At the outbreak of the Civil War
there were two significant ques-
tons which overshadowed the
Negro. That of his employment as
soldier and that of his freedom
Although the North demanded that
President Lincoln dispose of the
latter Immediately, he felt that he
should not act hastily. Sentiment
in the North was not united, and
in 1862 the confederates under the
brilliant generalship were winning
great victories.
At last in early September of
that same year, Lincoln found the
opportunity for which he had been
waiting. The repulse of Lee at
Antietam. He felt confident that
he could act with grace. On Sep
TENDER %, 1862, he issued pre-
liminary doctrine stating that in
the first month of the following
year the slaves would gain their
freedom. Thus on January 1, 1863,
the most important document in
the history of the United States
was proclaimed. The Emancipation
Proclamation. W h c h gave the
Negro slave a well deserved and
long awaited freedomi
The United States of America
never has, or never will, regret
that historical event. For much to
our delightful surprise, this colored
folk had taken proper advantage
of their new-found freedom. For
this supposedly inferior race BIOS

greatest contributions ever made
to our society.
Roland Hayes, a famous tenor
noted for beautiful Interpretation
of the sorrow songs of his people;
Paul Laurence Dunbar, who faced
a grinding struggle against pow
erty, became one of our most be-
loved authors; Ralph Bunche, win
ner of the Nobel Peace Prize, was
offered a professorship at Harvard
University.
One of the most beautiful voices
in the world belongs to Negress,
for Marian Anderson has thrilled
countless concert audiences with
her full, rich contralto voice.
Booker T. Washington, who has
brought laughter and bliss TO

George Washington Carver, who
was for half a century a trail

farm products, made this statement
in one of his speeches: Ignorant

that in our new life we began at
the top instead of the bottom?"

by leaps and bounds during the
eighteenth century. For by 1715
this dark-skinned people represent
ed II per cent of the population.
To the people of the later Eight
eenth Century, the status of the
Negro seemed more or less natural.
The horrors of slave captures, the
hideous Voyage across the equa-
torial ocean did not enter their
minds. Their narrow thinking
boiled down to the lot of slave
on a decent plantation could hardly
be said to be worse than the lot
of French peasant or an English
Iaborer!
However, the rapid importation
into America of hosts of Africans
and the turbulent character of this
people tended toward the develop
ment of harsh inhuman slave codes.
God created all men equal. Yet we
of the Caucasian race due to our
intellectual conceits. have taken
advantage of the Negro. The years
1S20-1S60 were marked by constant
aggression on the part of slave
power. This may be seen from five
events of unusual significance: the
Missouri Compromise of 1920 which
allowed Missouri to enter as a
slave state; the Omnibus Bill of
1850: the Kansas-Nebraska Bill of
1854. which repealed the Missouri
Compromise, and the Omnibus Bill
in the interest of slave power.
In addition to these measures
which had succeeded, the South
had also attempted to acquire Cuba
which revived the slave trade. Such
aggression, however, did not fail
to meet with opposition. for in the
North rose the Abolitionists who
were incorporating in their hos
tility to slavery. A sharp cry rose
from the churches, which rightly
contended that slavery was un-
christian and against the principles
of the United States.
Weekly periodicals, newspapers
and books were published. Shout
ing forth from their pages blunt
and fiery opposition to this in
human enterprise. The period was

2 Admit Attacking Coed,
One Confesses Killing Her
By the Associoied Press

KALAMAZOO, Mich, Jan. g.
A husky farm youth confessed to-
day, authorities said, that he
strangled 19-year-old Carolyn
Drown after he and a buddy raped
her.
Police Chief Howard Hoyt said
Valorus (Bud) Mattheis admitted
he strangled the Western Michi-
gan College coed with her own
scarf to stif1e her screams.
Chief Hoyt said Mattheis and
Raymond Lee Olson both con-
fessed they attacked the girl be-
fore she was strangled and her
body dumped into a field near
here the night of November 26.
Both Mattheis and Olson are %
and live on adjoining farms in the
vicinity OF Vicksburg, Mich.
Earlier both had confessed as
saulting the coed, whose body
was found a week after she dis
appeared in snowstorm, but each

tween her dormitory and an off,

Superior Ideology'
From U. 5. Urged 10
Win United Europe

An italian worker yesterday
called for a superior ideology''
from America as the only way
to win a united Europe.
Angelo Passetto of the Monte
catini Industries of Milan told
the Moral Rearmament Assembly
that he had become Communist
after the war and. as a Commu-
mist. had wanted to create a
great abyss between capital and
labor"
II realized. however" he said,
"I was digging the abyss for the
whole of humanity. We expect
from America not only bread. not
only work; we want from America
a superior ideology."
Egidio Quaglia, Milan member
Of the National Executive of the
Chemical Workers Union of the
Free Trades Unions of Italy. said
it was much easier to change a
Communist than man who is so
good that he feels he has nothing
to change.
Goffredo Zaccaria, ironworker
from the Montecatini Industries,
emphasized the theme of his fellow
worker. Mr.. Passetto.
All three workers told Of how
Communicated strikes had been
averted by the ideas of moral re-
armament. Supporters of the
movement advocate a return to
absolute moral standards as
foundation for a peaceful world
society. The assembly in session
at the Shoreham Hotel has been
attended by 500 delegates from %

Protestant Leader
.Urqes u. 5. Build Arms
While Seeking Peace

| A Protestant church leader yes
terday defended our country's de-
cision to build up its military
strength "as a deterrent to aggres-
sion," but at the same time called
for a peace offensive" to avoid
war.
"The preponderant majority (of
ChristianS) accepts the necessity
of military strength to serve as a
deterrent to aggression and, wher-
ever aggression occurs, as a means
of opposing it," DR.. o. Frederick
Nolde, director of the Commission
of the Churches on International
Affairs. declared.
Peace Offensive Urged.
Nevertheless" he added, $50
long as there remains even
marginal possibility of averting
total global war, we must wage an
inclusive peace offensive where
our spiritual as well as our ma
terial strength is devoted to the
promotion of peace, dedicated to
service in building economically
healthy and morally free societies,
and committed to international
cooperation through the United
Nations"
DR.. Nolde spoke at a special
service in Washington Cathedral
for members of the 82d Congress.
The service was sponsored jointly
by the Washington Federation of
Churches and the cathedral.
Chaplains Participate.
Among those taking part in the
service were DR.. Frederick Brown
Harris, Senate chaplain, and the
Rev. Bernard Braskamp, House
chaplain.
DR.. Nolde warned that six safe
guards must be considered in sup
porting military preparations by
our country.
l. We must not be the instru-
mentality of starting War-now
or in the future, openly or under
the pretense of self-righteousness.
2. We must keep military meas
ures at every point to the abso-
lutte minimum which circum-
stances will allow.
3. We must invite and encour-
age the use of the U. N. Peace
Observation Commission at every
potential danger spot throughout
the world to deter aggression or
to identify the aggressor when it
occurs.
4. In determining when military
action shall be taken, we must
accept moral judgment to the
Iextent that it is reflected by ma
Ijority opinion in the U. N.
S. We must accept as a pro-
visional goal a sufficient balance
of military power-in-being to per-
NIT the peaceful competition OF
conflicting ideologies.
6. We must work toward the
ultimate objective of bringing all
national ornaments under inter-
, national regulation and control.
The speaker also urged that we
must do everything possible tc
help build economically healthy
and morally free societies." AS
Evening star., 1951-01-08

serting this strategy over the past
five years of "reinvigorating So
cieties" has been "measurably sue
cessful," DR.. Nolde warned I'VE
must constantly be alert to the
danger of preoccupation with mill
tary measures to the exclusion or
at least the neglect of affirmative
measures which are right in them
selves and stand as a bulwark
against Communism.
"As we grow stronger, we must
be careful to increase rather than
to diminish our readiness to ne
gotiate," he advised.
Students from st. Albans School
for Boys carried the flags Of 48
States, the District, Alaska, Ha-
Waii and Puerto Rico in a pro-
cession at the service.

enthusiasm that applause inter-

even turned to acknowledge the
demonstrations. motioning the Or
chestra to rise each time, and
waited patiently for the audience
to quiet down before continuing.
The combined tone of the en-
eemble is magnificent. 1t has tre-
mendous vitality, great purity and
solidity, and gives a sense of mex
haustible reserve power. In indi-
vidual sections, the quality of the
musicians could be assayed, each
choir seemingly composed of solo
artists. The brass and woodWinds
were exceptional. Such authority
and splendor in the brass and
smoothness and security in the
woodwinds have seldom been
found simultaneously. The cello
section is especially richly toned
and the violins and violas play
reSonantly and with an exactitude
comparable to string soloist.
1t is perhaps the elan and spir-
tied release that arouses the ex-
citement prevalent last night for
IN the finer points of interpreta-
tion the musicians were not so
pllable. PianisSimo passages lacked
vibrancy and there was little of
the finesse in shadings and dy-
namlcs to which DR.. Koussevitzky's
Sorn1er orchestra, the Boston SYM
phony, has accustomed the local
public. Yet the wealth of talent
IN the visiting group was impress
sive as also the character of the
musical approach.
The program opened with the
performance of the two national
anthems. DR.. KoussevitZky is one
