The FIoggers

The arrest by the FBI of 10 former Ku Klux
Klansmen on charges Of kidnapping and fogging
white man and woman in North Carolina
may be the beginning of the end of this form
of rule by brutal terrorism But the FBI cannot
do the job alone
Bands Of robed and hooded floggers have
been roaming the connecting coastal areas of
the Carolinas for several months Their victims
have included both white and colored and
there have been at least a half dozen floggings
in single North Carolina county There un-
doubtedly have been others which, through fear,
have not been reported, and kind of rule-by-
terror is reported from the area
The FBI intervened in the case Ia which
the arrests were made because the victims were
seized in North Carolina and taken across the
State line INTO South Carolina, where the beat
ings occurred. That was violation OF Federal
law and established jurisdictional basis for
Federal Intervention. Most OF the hoggings
have occurred in single State, however and
the FBl has no authority 10 intervene IN that
kind of situation.
This Is merely another way Of saying that
the best and perhaps the only way of dealing
with hoggers and others like them Is at the
local level. In this instance the FBI was as
sisted by the sheriff of the county In which the
arrests were made. On the other hand a deputy
I sl1erif and d constable were among the ter
ruristS Arrested. This, taken with the fact that
no arrests were made until the FBI moved in,
although the hoggings occurred in October,
raises doubt as to whether the local authorities
have really tried to handle the problem them
selves. II they do not really want, to handle
1t themselves, the FBI may occasionally make
an arrest that will draw headlines. But the
hoggings and similar abuses will continue.

Religious Learning at Harvard

Two outstanding residents of Washington
are leaders in a movement to revitalize the
teaching and study OF religion at the Divinity
School Of Harvard University They are the
Right Rev. Angus Dadn, Bishop Sof Washington
since 1914 and John Lord OBrian, distin-
guished layman. Associated with them in their
new work are representatives of the Methodist,
Presbyterian and Unitarian branches of Ameri-
can Christianity. The list OF collaborators prob
ably will be added to. Meanwhile a campaign
to raise five million dollars in support of the
expansion is to be launched.
What is sought by Bishop Dun, Mr. oBrian
and their colleagues, as announced by President
James B. Conant, is comprehensive education
In the common tenets of Christianity" They
want larger student body larger faculty,
more activity at the Divinity School in Cam
bridge to the end that religious education in the
United States may be strengthened Such
purpose certainly is commendable. It should
appeal to large numbers of people. Obviously,
1t promises to be an anSwer-at least one an
swer-to ''the trend of worldliness during our
own lfetimes that) has brought with 1t spir-
itual apathy and moral callousness that would
have seemed incredible fifty years ago."
The sponsors of the new project stand on a
broad base, affirming in the words of the COM
mission headed by Mr.. O'Brian: While religion
today is no longer recognized as universally
cohesive force, the Christian tradition . does
provide strong ties of common loyalty and under
standing that transcend the boundaries of nation,
race and class" The revitalzed Divinity
School will be Christian in the inclusive, not
the exclusive, sense It may re-examine other
religious conceptions but Christianity will be ITS
mission In that respect, 1t will be true. to the
theological heritage of the American Nation,
the heritage of Judaic- Christian philosophy i'm
plict in our charters OF responsible freedom.

WHILE the debit and credit ledger
w on contribution Of men and sup
plies to War-torn Korea confirms the
magnitude of Americas role, a close look
at thesfigures also gives better under
standing Of the supporting roles played
by our less-bountiful Allies.
Americans make no attempt to hide
their chagrin that their friends have
been short on support and administra-
tion critics cry that Uncle Sam is being
Uncle Sugar again. Even the govern
ment, while stoutly defending its par
ticipation in Korea, thinks some of the
Allies could be doing more.
A recently published United Nations
summary of the first 10 months of the
Korean conflict shows that up until
December 81, 1851, the United States
suffered more than 10 times as many
casualties as the. rest Of the U. N. par
ticiparts combined texcluding South
Korea1. and had provided over 10 times
as much in relief goods as all the other
81 countries which have contributed.
Casualties for the Is months are sum-
married in this manner:

$17,092,600 contributed by 81 other
countries. Relief figures are incomplete
because many contributions have not
been eyaluated and some cannot be. If
such items were added, however, the
American percentage would increase.
Although it takes some hunting to see
past the binding preponderance Of
Americas participation, it. can be de-

end at one word from circuit court

OF the people in the country do not

Three Humunituriuns
The demise of President Theodore
Roosevelt, President Franklin Roosevelt
ana the late Harold Ickes caused this
writer feelings that usually accompany
only the loss of the closest of friends.
Ihese three Americans seemed to me
to exemplify the ideals of broad humani-
tarlanism. In common with each other
they were not afraid to make enemies
OF provincials and men of narrow spirit.
Their views and their acts encompassed
the whole range of American citizens.
Teddy Roosevelt confounded bigotry
when he invited Booker T. Washington
to dinner at the White House. Franklin
d. Roosevelt, although an astute poll
tician. believed in democracy and met
the criticism as traitor to his class" in
many ways to further the ideals of
human brotherhood.
Harold 1ckes earned the hatred of a
lot OF people. His sponsorship of an out
door concert to permit Marian Ander-
son to sing appealed to the masses and
was rebuke to those members of the
OAR who had not grown to the point
OF recognizing the worth of and human
dignity of all men.
OF course there have been in all ages
men who defied the proponents Of ex-
ploitation OF weaker peoples, who spoke
out against slavery. and championed
the cause of people to enjoy the rights
OF free men, But to this writer these
three men who lived in our age will long
be remembered for their contributions
to the advancement of civilization and
brotherhood. ,EsR u.nd....

Russians Imply
 They Have Claim To Alaska Riches

LONDON, (R The Russians claimed Saturday the British and French have stolen credit for a deed the West readily comedies the Russians performed-the dis covery of Alaska more than 200 years ago.
 Moscow radio in a broadcast for Soviet youth scoffed at what it said were British claims that Capt. James Cook, British ex- plorer of the 18th Century, had discovered the shores of Alaska. The broadcast said a French geo. grapher and a British diplomat in Czarist St. Petersburg mow Leningrad had stolen Russian maps and charts on Alaska in a "most unashamed manner"
 The implication was that these stolen maps made Cooks voyage up the Alaskan coast in 1778 pos Sible.
 However, standard western re- ference books concede that Alas ka was discovered by a Russian expedition headed by the famous Danish-born explorer Vitus Der ing in 1741.
 In recent years there have been unofficial assertions in Russia implying that the Soviets have some economic interest of their own in Alaska. The tenor of these claims is that Czarist Russia's sale of Alaska to the US. in 1867 for $7,2OO,O0O was illegal. The inn plication is that Russia still has claim to Alaska's riches.

At Least 28 Die
 In Flaming Wreck Greyhound Buses

WACO, Tex, (P)-Two Grey hound buses collided head on Monday, erupted in flames, and became funeral pyres for at least 28 persons. The toll may go to B.
 The big vehicles smashed to- gether seven miles south of here just before dawn.
 A death count was difficult be- cause many bodies were so badly burned they fell to pieces. Flu neral homes which had reported 34 bodies revised the total down to 28.
 Many servicemen returning to their bases from weekend leaves were among the dead and injured.
 The buses themselves burned almost to rubbish. Burned shoes, parts of purses and their Scorched contents, luggage tags and other clues to identity of the victims were sifted from the blackened wreckage.
 'It was horrible, people were screaming and knocking each other down trying to get out" Mrs. Dora Daniels of Waco said, from a hospital bed. "They could n't find the exit door,"
 She said a Negro soldier who was thrown to safety twas brave enough to come back and pull us out.'
 There was little baby" Mrs. Daniel recalled. "It was lying in the middle of the pavement, burn ing. Nobody could help"
 Authorities were at a loss to explain the accident, which may have been the worst traffic crash in Texas history. It occurred on a straight stretch of Highway 81, between Dallas and Austin.

Guerrilla Interference Expected In Korea's First Popular Election

PUSAN, Korea, (P) - South Korean police and troops have been alerted for possible Com munist guerrilla interference Tuesday in the republics first popular election of a president and vice president.
 A government spokesman said reports had been received that the Communists had ordered guer- rillas to disrupt the election.
 Syngman Rhee, TT, the nations first president, is considered cer- tain to be returned to office.
 Originally the president was elected by the national assembly but Rhee, using public pressure and police, recently forced the assembly to change the constitu- ton to provide for the popular election.
 Rhee has made no campaign speech. Since his is the only name and face known to the bulk of the voters, his three opponents are given little chance of winning.
 There are nine aspirants for vice president. Six are chased as Rhee supporters but Rhee has en- dorSed no one.

700 COnvicts Riot In Canadian Prison

MONTREAL, (P)-Police used tear gas and gunfire early Satur- day to quell riot of hundreds of prisoners in Montreal's Bordeaux jail.
 An estimated 700 convicts broke out of their cell blocks early Friday night, set IT fires, footed the prison canteen, broke plumb ing to flood the floors and then clashed with 200 police in a bloody battle in the main prison court yard.
 The police managed to drive the rioters back into their cell blocks with tear gas and by firing pistols over the convicts' heads-but only temporarily. The convicts smash ed the main locks of the cell blocks and spilled back into the yard to yell and taunt the police.
 Aware the broken locks made it impossible to keep the convicts behind bars for the night, the police stood by and allowed them to blow off steam.
