Southern Educator Calls
On Homeland To
End Segregation

ATLANTA - (ANP) - dis
t1ngulshed southern sociologist
challenged the south Friday to
end segregation and racial dis
elimination as an investment that
would bring the region prosperity
beyond previous measures"
DR.. Howard w. Odum, profess
sor of sociology at the University
of North Carolina, delivered his
strong address, "The Mid-Cen-
fury South; Looking Both Ways"
before the 14th annual meeting of
the Southern Sociological society
at the Biltmore hotel here.
He called for the region to
drop its "inexcusable" brutalities,
injustices, and determinations
against the Negro and convert to
an "integrated, multiple cultured
American democracy"
The renowned Sociologist, long
known as liberal thinker, pro-
posed the far reaching soc al
changes in speech that his fell
low sociologists said was the
strongest statement he had ever
made on the subject. The noted
student of southern attitudes and
problems urged that Dixie pro-
vide equal opportunity" for Ne
groes in public education and
that it begin Immediately nom
segregation in all university ed
ucation on the graduate and pro-
fessional level, and urged further
that the region move swiftly to-
ward specific and workable solu-
tons to inter-racial frictionS.
We warned, eve know that
our current dilemmas are such that
without wisdom, devotion, Coop
Grafton, compromise and courage,
we might lose this America of
ours"
Noting that he was fully aware
of the compilations and hazards
of his proposals, DR.. Odum sug-
geSted that commission of
southerners and a President-ap-
pointed national body be estab-
liShed" to work out agenda for
negotiations and specifications
for future achievement"
In urging his native section to
drop racial barriers, DR.. Odum
cautioned the south to listen be-
fore protesting" He said the
south must cease to regard itself
as exclusive" and that it should
return to the mainStream of
American democracy as it was
conceived and as it has prevailed
from the beginning in spite of
roadblockS."
The major task facing southern
leaders said Dr. Odum, is the de-
velopment of programs that will
strike a balance between the
voluntary" efforts of southern
ers and the "coercive" efforts of
the federal government.
DR.. Odum was born in Monroe,
Ga, site of the infamous Walton
County lynchings. He received
his ALB. degree from Emory uni
versity in Atlanta. Author of sew
eral books, he has gained nation
wide recognition as an authority

Common Informer
In Britain LOSING
Lucrative Profits
By the Assoeioied Press

LONDON, Sept. Britain has
cut off another form of private
enterprise. A law which becomes
effective today takes away most
of the profit common informers
have realized for the past $40
years.
Until today, inforlners collected
the fine if the people they tattled
on were convicted of breaking any
of 43 different laws. A handful
of smart men who read up on
these laws made informing their
only profession.
Their richest field was Britain's
strict Sunday observance laws.
Informers could collect from any,
one giving unauthorized enter
talnment on Sunday-even anna
teur dramatics in certain cases.
The new common informers act
leaves the penalties for breaches
of these laws the same, but the
money now will go into the public
purse.
One exception in the new law
makes it possible for an informer
to collect up to $1,400 for every
day a person they tattle on sits
and votes in Parliament after be-
ing improperly elected or disquali-
fled.
On paper that sounds good, but
it happens so rarely that the
informer's career is hardly worth
the arduouS task of studying up
on the legal technicalities in
volved.

I 900 New Phones Installed
or San Francisco Conference

a PIX of this type. This one took
less than half that time.
A novel method was used by
engineers to install the telephones,
which are to serve the American
delegation at the Palace Hotel.
The entire layout of telephone
lines and other equipment was
pre- assembled on the sidewalk
outside the hotel and then hoisted
to the suite of offices.
Fifty telephones have been in
stalled for the press in the Golden
Horseshoe of the Opera House,
where conference sessions will
take place. These will operate
with visual signals instead Of
bells.
To assist English speaking
delegates, the State Department
has provided a staff of linguists.
When PIX attendants recognize
that a caller is having difficulty
with English, they will connect
him through to a linguist for aid.
Telephone directories have been
stockpiled. At many conference
locations, directories for all the
leading cities in the United States
and for so others in foreign coun-
tries will be provided.
Sixty special lines link radio and
television stations to the Opera
House.

Education Council 10 Study
Schools. Role in Religion

A year-long project to study the

questions aimed at dousing any
propaganda fires Gromyko may
start. If necessary, and if he gets
a chance. he intends to comment
on such facts as that Russia was
only in the war against Japan for
six days.
Name Means Thunder.
Gromyko is easily the star of the
Russian team heading for San
Francisco. and is adept at trying
to smash the opposition with an
avalanche of words. His nickname
"Grom" means thunder" in Rus
sian and during his U.N. days he
spent hours laundering against
the United States. He turned out to
be one of the hardest-working
delegates in the U.N. and at the
same time perhaps the most taci-
turn.
The Soviet diplomat jumped
onto the headlines by walking out
of Security Council meeting in
1916 during discussion of Iranian
charges that Russia was interfer-
ing in Trans affairs. He was in
high good humor as he walked out
and obviously knew he was put
ting on a good show. He returned
two weeks later.
Gromyko really began saying

U. N. conference the small and
medium powers were protesting

Campaign Statement Vanishes.
"O'Conor seems to be WHOLLY
unembarrassed by the fact that
his sworn campaign expense state
ment as candidate for United
States Senator in 1916, which was
on file in Baltimore. was destroyed
a few months ago under very sus-
piciouS circumstances. A request
to examine O'Conor's campaign
expense statement was made at
the capitol in Annapolis, Md. 1t
was explained that O'Conor's cam

such inquiry then left for Balti-

he got there. he was advised that
O'Conor's campaign expense state
ment had been destroyed shortly
before his arrival.
In view of all the above facts,
it is understandable that it was

of less than 1000 votes were
counted for him.

Discussion Of Pact
In Farley Is dressed
by Moscow Gazette
By The Assoeiutsd Pres.

MOSCOW, Sept. 1.-The Liter
ary Gazette emphasized today
there will be discussion of the
Japanese peace treaty at the con-
ference in San Francisco.
Some foreign observers inter-
preted this to mean the Russians
may find ways to express their
views at length. though the official
United States declaration 10 the
Soviet Union of August Is set
forth that the conference will be
to sign treaty and not for nego-
tiationS.
The Literary Gazette, an organ
of the Union of Soviet Writers,
said the Soviet Union more than
once has offered a peace treaty
guaranteeing the people of the
world against resurrection of
japanese militarism and giving
Japan national Independence.
However, it continued, "the
United States continually sabo..
tagged the Soviet proposals"
The Gazette said the United
States has taken a course toward
resurrecting Japanese militarism.
There was no hint in the Ga
zette how the discussion" would
come up, but some foreigners
speculated about talk on rules of
procedure. They said Soviet Del
egate Andrei A. Gromyko, or some
other delegate could talk for days
on procedural questions, even if
a time limit was imposed on talk
about the treaty itself.
There has been large amount
of comment on the japanese ques-
ton in Moscow papers recently.
1t has been stated several times
that the Soviet Union and not
the United States really won the
war against the Japanese. 1t has
been repeated also that (Commu-
nlsD China should attend the San
Francisco conference. India's re-
fusal to go to the meeting has
been widely hailed here.
The official government news
paper IzveStia said today more
than a billion persons oppose the
American backed treaty. Izvestia
arrived at that figure by counting
the populations of the Soviet
Union, which is against the treaty,
Communist China, which was not
invited to sign it. and Burma and
India, which are refusing to sign.

Hodes Denies He Pul
His Arm Around Red
By the Associated Pres,

SEOUL, Sept. Maj. Gen
Henry 1. Hodes. one of the United
Nations delegates to the Kaesong
military armistice talks, said
today it was not true that he
placed his arms around Commu-
mist delegate following the first
meeting of the armistice subcom-
mittee Is days ago.
The report was carried in an
Associated Press story from Kae-
song on August II.
"At no time did ! place my arm
around any Communist delegate"
Gen. Hodes said. ANY report to
that effect was erroneous"
Gen. Hodes said he and other
U. N. delegates present at the
time, including Rear Admiral Ar
leigh Burke, were requested by
U. N. photographers to move
closer together with the Com
delegates for a more COM
pact picture.
Gen. Hodes said he moved
closer to one of the Communist
delegates, Gen. Lee, and that his
right hand-holding brief case
was obscured.
But in no conceivable manner
was it placed around Gen. Lee in
any gesture of camaraderie" 'eGn.
HodeS said.
Published photographs show
Gen. Hodes' hand obscured but
not around Gen. Lees body.

Sam Summerlin who reported the
incident said sit was my impress

pliers who were with me. This

General Asian Par|e,
Seen Aim Of Russia
AT San Francisco )
By Ernie Hill
Correspondent of The Star and
Chicago Daily News


UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Sept
delegates to the United Ma
Itions believe that Russia's big
play at San Francisco will be for
Ia proposed general conference to
settle the problems of Asia.
The purpose of such a proposal
will be to drive wedge be-
tween the United States and
friendly countries including Bri-
tain. France and some Asian
states.
Russian Delegate Andrei Gro
|myko, 1t is stated, realizes he
has little chance to block or
alter the japanese peace treaty.
Some As to 48 countries are
pledged to approve it.
The old suggestion for a con-
ference on Asian problems was
fought out and defeated at the
United Nations last January when
Russia demanded a stacked group
that would vote to admit Red
China to the U. NJ.
American Delegate Warren
Austin at one point agreed to
the conference if Red China
would pull out of Korea.
The Peiping government re-
fused to stop fighting and Mr..
Austin withdrew this country'S
temporary agreement to partici-
pate in such conference.
U. S. and Britain Split.
Mr.. Gromyko Is expected to re-
vive the idea because it is one of
the few on which Britain and the
United States fail to see eye-to-
eye.
The British, having recognized
the Mao Tze-tung regime, favor
Red China S admission to the U. N.
The French have indicated they
might favor the move if the Peip-
ing Communists stopped sending
war equipment to the Reds in
Indo China.
India has always favored Red
China in the U. N.
The United States has little
support for keeping Peiping out
of the peace organization. Most
other countries take the position
that the Red Chinese might be
easier to deal with if given U. N.
membership.
Always anxious to exploit such
disagreements, the Russians are
expected to drag up that old ar
gument again, claiming that it
is the Soviet's contribution to set
Ting Asian problems.
U. N. Consideration Favored.
The United States, it is under
stood, will seek to keep that issue
from splitting the conference by
declaring that such a proposal
has no place on the japanese
peace conference agenda.
The United States would con-
tend that the U. N. is the proper
place for such a proposal and
that it be dealt with when the
General Assembly meets in Paris
in November.
While the United States can
not expect to control the policies
of those governments that oppose
Washington, there is every indi-
cation our allies may agree the
Asian peace proposal should be
held of until the Paris meeting.

eign Minister Molotov went home
refused to bulge. He said mo" to
every suggestion to change the
proposed procedure and it became
clear there would not be any U. N
without the veto rule. Once it was
in effect, the Russians used it
more than anyone elSe-47 times
up to date, of which Gromyko cast
rs during two years on the Secur-
Iity Council. In a rare flash of
humor. the Russian, shortly before
leaving the Security Council,
grinned and said that President
Truman was ahead of him on
vetoeS. At that time the President
had vetoed l37 bills.
Ruthless in Action.
Gromyko is determined, relent-
less in action. He never gives
ground. even though he knows he
is doomed to defeat. He repeats
points time and again, seldom
varying the Russian language for
new phrases. He is a master of
the Sledge-hammer tactics, appar-
emily believing that if you hit a
point often enough and hard
enough you can kill it.
The Russian delegate can be
as gracious and charming as the
most polished Western diplomat
when he wishes. He was host at
receptions for U. N. people several
times during his stay here and
moved about among the guests
cracking jokes, drinking scotch
and soda. and seeing that every
one had a good time.
He subordinates his private and
personal life to the state. saying
that his personality does not in

discrimination"
Soviet zone officials indicated
they felt vehicle owners of the
East already contributed their
share for upkeep on the roads by
paying registration taxes.
The fiat tax for each trip, how
ever, means that a West German
trucker who has a steady run to
Berlin would have to pay as much
as several thousand dollars a year,
which is far beyond any German
registration tax.
Traffic Snarled at Border.
All day and into the night,
truck traffic at border points was
snarled. On the Helmstedt end,
where the Russian and British
zones meet, many truckers re-
fused fatty to pay the tax and
drove back to shippers with their
loads.
