population is thought adequate.
Another basic need, housing,
was discussed by Robert c..
Weaver, director of the John
Hay Whitney Foundation, and
former special assistant to the
administrator of the United
States Husing Authority. Mr..
Weaver declared that "to col
ored Americans, the black ghetto
is a never-ending evidence of
their denial of full and free
rights in our nation; to the for
eign visitor, black belts are an
indelible symbol of American Jim
Crow"
Mrs. Edith Sampson, lawyer
and alternate delegate to the
United Nations General Assem-
bly,, discussed the effect of Am
erica's race relations upon our
role as the leading democracy
among free nations. Educational
problems of colored youth were

president of billiard University,
New Orleans, and members of
the Ford Foundation Fellowship

Church InsfaIIS
Dr.. WaIcoft

At the conclusion Of one year
of mourning the loss of the late
E. E. Durant, D D., LID, or
ganizer and first rector of ST. AM
brose Episcopal Church, New
York City, the Wardens, Vestry,
and Congregation of the Church
having chosen The Rev. S. Alex
ander Walcott, MA, MD, as
their new Rector, extended invi-
tations to the numerous friends
and well-wishers of the church
to join them in the beautiful and
ancient Service Of Institution,
Sunday evening, November %.
The Rt. Rev. Horace w. B. Doneg-
an, DID,, of the Episcopal Diocese
of New York officiated.
Among recipients of the much
desired invitations was st. Clair
Kirton, poet, who wrote a hymn
poem entitled Goods Altar At
St. Ambrose, in commemoration
of the dedication of the High
Altar and the new chancel, pulpit,
and lectern. DR.. Durant prompt
ly assigned the poem to a hymn
tune which is now occasionally
sung by the choir and congrega-
ton.
In acknowledgement of his in
vitation, Mr., Kirton, being I'M
able to be present at the Service
OF Institution, dispatched the fol-
lowing to the Wardens, Vestry
and Congregation of the Church:

long has been democracy's dill
emma, now has become a key to
its survival, declared Carl T.
Rowan, author of South of Free
dom," before a capacity audi
ence of 2300 last night at the
fourth annual symposium of the
United College Fund at Hunter
College Assembly Hall, Sixty
ninth st. and Park ave.
Mr.. Rowan, reporter for the
Minneapolis Morning Tribune, in
speaking on the symposium's
theme, "Color In Democracy, "
said that a color crisis engulfs
the lives of men from South
Africa to Indo-China. Because
of this" he continued, what is
decided ultimately about South
Africa and race segregation is
just as important to world peace
as what is decided about Korea.
I know this is hard for an Am
erican to understand when AM
orleans are dying in Korea. But
South Africa is just as vital a
spot in the "war" for free
world because to many world
citizens, South Africa's prob
lens and Korea's problems are
synonymous"
c. D. Jackson, Vice President
of Time, Inc, and former Presi-
dent of the National Committee
for Free Europe, was the chair
man of the "Color In Democracy"
program. The discussion covered
the current status of the colored
American in the fields of educa-
ton, health, civil rights and hous-
ing, as well as international re-
lations on a national and inter
national scale.
Morris L. Ernst, attorney and
member of the Presidents Com
mittee on Civil Rights, pointed
out that the United States is the
leader in a world movement to
provide a legal foundation fol
peace and decency. This move
ment, if worth anything" Mr.
Ernst asserted, must be more
than skin-deep, and our leader
ship is greatly impaired if we do
not prove to the people of the
planet that we have established
by laws in our own land that
each human being is judged as
a separate human being"
Speaking in the same vein, DR..
Buell. C. Gallagher, president of
City College and former presi-
dent of Talladega College, Ala,
stressed that the acid test of a
democracy is its treatment OF
minorities. Each person is to be
welcomed in making his fullest
contribution to the common well
fare" DR.. Gallagher said, and
whenever we fail to welcome the
work and insights of a man be-
cause of his racial or religious
identity Cor for any other reason
democracy is weakened.
DR.. Peter Marshall Murray,
vice-president of the New York
County Medical Society, and
member of the House of Dele
gates of the American Medical
Association, outlined the vital
need for more colored medical
men. DR.. Murray reported that
in 1850, there were about 1000
colored physicians and surgeons
in the United States, out of a
total of more than 100000. This
is a ratio of one for every 100
persons in the u. S., but only one

UN To Probe
African Riots

NEW YORK The United
Nations General Assembly voted
this week to probe the bloody
race riots of South Africa des-
pite that country's bitter attempt
to block a UN investigation. The
vot ewas 1872 with % abstentions.
The United States abstained
while South Africa and Peru cast
the two negative votes.
South Africa had tried to have
the Committee rule the investi-
cation outside the UN jurisdic-
ton and "a purely domestic af-
fair" but this was defeated.

~ 6IIlptldSlLe lne need OF eX-
tending in practice the basic doc
trine Of equality in rights and
opportunity for all men, Gov
Dever this week released a proc
lamation for a Civil Rights Week.
Massachusetts has set a bril-
liant example in affirming and
guaranteeing civil rights" the
proclamation states. "Our leader
ship has inspired others, includ-
ing the United Nations, through
its Declaration of Human Rights,
to follow suit"
The complete text of the Gov
ernor's Proclamation:
CIVIL RIGHTS
One of the most important
questions our democracy faces is
how to extend in practice our
basic doctrine that all men are
created equal; that equality of
opportunity in schools and jobs
and politics is the inherent right
of every person regardless of
race, creed or color.
This civil rights struggle which
began in our colonial period has
never abated in our life as a
nation. Five years ago it was
given emphasis by the publica-
ton of a memorable document:
ITO Secure These Rights, by the
Presidents Committee on Civil
Rights. The Report noted that
action was needed to protect the
following four "basic rights" con-
sidered essential in a democracy:
The right to safety and Sc
curity of person;
The right to citizenship and
its privileges;
The right to freedom of
conscience and expression;
The right of equality of OPP
portunity.
Among the natural rights with
which God has endowed Hi
creature Man these are secures
by our Federal and State Con
stitutions - but laws and Vigilan
administration are needed to i'm
plement constitutional guarantees
otherwise they are apt to be
nullified in effect and practice.
Our own Commonwealth Of
Massachusetts, has set a brilliant
example in affirming and guar
anteeing the civil rights of our
citizens. Our leadership has I'M
doubtedly inspired others, in
Guiding the United Nations,
through its Declaration of Human
Rights, to follow suit.
But, because vigilance is the
keynote in the protection and ex-
tension of the rights of men,
Therefore. I, Paul A. Dever,
Governor of the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts, do set aside the
week Of
December 8 through
December IS, 1852

CHRISTIANITY, which is sup
posed to be the moving force"
of the United Nations is only a
little over 1900 years old, the
youngest of the six major world
faiths. Today Christianity of the

United Nations just as it was on
trial with the League of Nations.

CIVILIZATION, said the Rabbi,
has been created from all races,
colored and white and great men
have come from many religions.
He said that so long as all the
major religions are dedicated to
the basic idea of one God and
brotherhood of Man, these re-
lieions should be granted free
dom to develop in the East as in
the West. The West should not
"force" its faith. And he said
this: "Have regard for truth
