The Moving Finger
BY L. A. THOMPSON

Congressman Adam Powell OF
New York has issued the state
ment that he is dropping the
cudgel against racial segregation
for the duration Of the conflict In
in Korea. In this, Reverend Pow
ell has shown more patriotism
and charity than you usually meet
throughout the length and
breadth of this fair country. Ii
the powers-that-be would take a
leaf out of the congressman's
book and issue a statement that
there would be no segregation in
this country for the duration, why
you would have to say, Truly,
this is the land of the free!" I'm
til then, all Negro patriots like
the congressman - and they are
many - are sick with inward
griefs.

Last week the members and
friends of st. Matthew's Baptist
Church celebrated the thirty
first anniversary of that church
and pastor, Rev. N. F. Clark.
Each night some church was rep
resented on the program and
how!
When you talk of st. Mat
thew's you talk of Rev. Clark.
Founder and organizer, he stay
ed right there for thirty-one
years. They tell me that any man
who can do business at the same
stand for 81 years, deserve credit
even if he did no more than
stand therel But Rev. Clark and
st. Matthew's are not to be num-
bered among those who take it
easy. He has made untold sacri-
flee for his people - but not in
vain. st. Matthew's is well fur
nished and is going stronger
than ever. Congratulations!

Ia LION, Korea. Jan. 16.-One
OF Maj. Gen. Clark L. Ruffner's
first orders to his new command,
the famous I'd Division. was to

This was a complete reversal Of
instructions issued New Years
Day by the officer Gen. Ruffner

Mcclure. that every man in a
major section of the division
would grow a certain type Of
beard.
It stemmed from Gen. McClure's
World War II experience in the
Pacific, when some units grew diff
ferent types Of boards to make
identification easier at night. ct
is also true that Asian peoples
generally have fewer whiskers
than Occidentals)
Under the new scheme. some
sections were to grow chin
whiskers, some the Lincoln style,
and headquarters men full boards"
a spokesman said.
IT rather think it was a morale
gesture, too giving the men
something to talk about.
But, of course, after Is days
we were all pretty shaggy and ]

boys showed a draft card, which

After the hearing, members of
the ABC board lectured the boys
on the trouble they had caused
and told them they could have
been fined $25 or 10 days in Jail

a big relief-they weren't having
much luck with any kind Of whis-

Anyway, out came the razors.

with the new general by a close

war record. From what I have

Vying for News for
Censorship in Korea

Col. M. p. Echols, Gen. Mac
Arthur's public information Of
ficer, was headed here today for
conferences on censorship and the
Army's public information activ-
tiles.
In Minneapolis. where he
stopped overnight. Col. Echols
said that he would talk over the
organization of the public infor-
nation setup of all the services.
He said that he would be in
Washington for two weeks and
then would go to his Charlottes-
vile (Va.) home for two weeks
leave.
The colonel, who supervises the
censorship systems now operating
In Korea and Tokyo. said that it
was brought about by "the vying
for news between the news agen-
cies."
''The present censorship ban in
Korea did not originate in Tokyo
to this extent" he added. Mac
Arthur always has favored the
press taking its full responsibility
along with the military on censor
ship.
For many months he tried to
use voluntary censorship. How
ever, the main thing that caused
this policy to collapse was the
vying for news between the news
agencies"
He said the conferences here
were necessitated by the fact that
the public information setup had
not been overhauled since World
War II. One of the problems. he
said, was the presence of more
than 300 correspondents in Korea
twice as many as were in Paris
during the last war.
