Junior Glass
At Damascus
Gives Dance
Affair Benefits Polio
Fund; Larry Burdettt
Is Originator of Idea

In behalf of one of its members
who is a polio victim, the Junior
Class of Damascus High School
plans a benefit dance at the school
auditorium on Friday evening,
January 80.
Larry Burdette, 16, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Franklin Burdette of
Damascus, originated the idea of
the dance as benefit for the Ma
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis shortly after his mir
aculous survival of a very serious
attack of bulbar polio last August
and while still in an iron lung
at Gallinger Hospital, Washington.
Though Larry is still a patient
at Children's Hospital School, Bal
timore, he is keenly interested in
this project and is looking for

gala affair being planned in honor
of his courageous fight and slow,

Larry's father is regular men,
Der of "The Esquires," a dance
orchestra from the Frederick area,
which will furnish the music for
dancing the first half of the even
ing (9:00 to 10:30). The regular
orchestra will be augmented by
two other musicians from the COM
munity, DR.. Howard Taylor with
his trumpet and Jerry Cook, a
former member of Fred Warnings
band, with his saxophone.
During intermission the Saints
and Spinners," well-known
square dance group from Rock
vile, will present a colorful floor
show. --4-
Wait, there is even more yet
to come for that dollar contribution
to the Polio Fund! The second
half of the dance (11:00 to 12:30)
will be devoted to barn dancing and
square dancing, to the music of
Johnny Glaze and His Barn Dance
Gang" "The Lazy River Boys

about a year ago and of which
Larry was one of the originators,
will also lend a hand during the
barn dance.
Plan to spend the evening of
January 80 at Damascus High
School and help a most worthy
cause.-the fight against polio. The
total proceeds of the evening will
go to the Montgomery County
Chapter of the Infantile Paralysis
Fund. The services of all the en-
tertainers are gratis and publicity
costs are being borne by a local
business organization.

School Board Shows Great Courage
and Christion Brotherhood

The trustees of the Phoenix Union High ScnOOl DlS-
rct made historic decision it's policy of mtegratlon
By so doing members of the board who parties TO
this action will always be remembered for their American
ism and their Christian brotherhood.
The decision of the board result OF unceasng
efforts of many civic religious and social organizations
and sincere and unseh individuals The efforts OF these
organizations and individuals were supported by sym
pathetic press Readers will recall the many favorable
editorials and comments appearing in the Phoenix Gazette
as we'll as the many favorable letters and comments pub
ished in the Arizona Republic Beyond doubt these were
jnstrumentalities the moulding of favorable public
sentiment goes without saying that these newspapers
exerted influence upon the board Of trustees.
It is gratifying that after several months OF
much deberaton the school board acted voluntarily
which we believe to have been desirable than to
act under an order the court Through court order
victory might have been the board, whereas
through the procedure TAKEN the board victory
over itself This indeed in line with the thinking and
desires of us who have believed that it better Tor the
community generally to have accomplished desegregaton
in the manner in which it done.
The public now wonders whether or not this could
have been ACCOMPLISHED without the expenditure OF
finances and court procedures?
We doff our hats to Mr.. Browne, Mr. Burch and Mrs.
Bons for this act With such pepople we be-
eve they will conduct the affairs of the schools with
wisdom, justice and fair play.
is hoped that the Phoenix Elementary School Trus-
ees will take similar action before the opening OF schools
in September.

Letter to Editor
POOR CHILDREN ARE ENTITLED
TO VACATION AWAY
FROM THE VALLEY
To the editor of the Arizona Sun

To the editor of the Arizona Sun
In the southeastern part of Phoe-
nix there are many boys and girls
who aren't going to enjoy any kind
of vacation or recreation away
from the hot Valley this summer
unless some kind-hearted persons
make it possible for them to do so.
The Phoenix Christian Center,
1905 East washington street, has
for many years been conducting a
program that has brought charac-
ter-building recreation and after
school educational activities to
youngsters of all sects, races, and
economic stations.
We. are now hoping to make
summer camp facilities available to
so youngsters who will not attend
any other camp. Boys and girls
who will not go to Boy Scout, Hi
Y, or any church camp. Kids whose
families do not know the meaning
of family vacation in the hills or
on the seashore.
We have made arrangements to
use the Tonto Rim Baptist Assem-
bly, camp, near payson, from July
20 to 26 inclusive, for non-sec-
tartan camping exclusion for Phoe-
nix boys and girls from the ages
of 10 to IA. While the camp is
owned by the Baptist Churches,
this particular period follows the
normal church-sponsored camping
periods, and will not be a bible,
camp. We will emphasize Christian
living and wholesome recreation,
but will not conduct any religious
courses.
The regular personnel of the
camp, including a manager, nurse,
cook, ETC., have volunteered to stay
on for an extra week without pay
to accommodate these underpriv
ileged boys and girls. Actual direc-
tion of this camp period will be un-
der the supervision of Wallace D.
Yeates, executive director of the
Phoenix Christian Center.

Getting
Along
BY LAUREN WHITE

NEW YORK, (GLOBAL) Love
affairs and marriages between
members of different races never
particularly interested me. If these
love affairs and marriages add to
the peace and harmony of the
world, / am in favor of them. If
they detract from the peace and
harmoney of the world, 1 am
against them. 1t is simply mat
ter. of getting along. Here are two
situations that came to this writers
attention recently.
In my business activities; I man.
age several pieces of property in
the New York area. Mixed couples
live in some of them. The rela-
tionShip between these mixed
couples and other tenants of the
buildings seems to be harmonious.
They seem to be getting along. 1t
is only when members of different
roces are counting that difficulties
arise.
In one well kept building, a
particularly meddlesom person
kept complaining that a single
woman who lives in the building
has a white friend who visits her
often. 1T will ruin the reputation
of the house if men like that are
seen visiting" she complained.
When 1 inquired if the visitor was
rowdy, noisy or otherwise unde-
sirable, the meddlesome one ad-
mitted he was not.
I finally met this suitor and
found him to be a most interesting,
intelligent, and informed man. He
owned a successful business in
downtown New York, and was in
dependently wealthy. He was in
position to do most of the things
he wanted to do and he knew it..
The lady he visited occasionally
was his employee and had been
for many years. oBth of them
knew what they wanted. They
knew what they were doing. Both
were able to take care of them
selves. While he is successful
business man, she is a capable
worker and will be able to make
her way anywhere. Both of these
people make contributions toward
the welfare of the other, and both
are respectable members of society.
Neither is likely to do anything

IN September.
BY OLIVE A. ADAMS

NEW YORK, (GLOBAL)-ThiS
is a great country. You can COM
plain about taxes, you can say any,
thing you want to about any pub
JIG official and say it out loud. You
my not like the way you're treated
and there may be certain places
where people can can get away
with murder-but not with the
sanction of the Government, nor
with the sanction of the majority
Of the people once they know the
facts.
Negroes know this better than
anybody else. If anyone in Amer
Jcan life could have a reason to be
bitter about anything, it would be
the colored brother. But he is
fiercely loyal because this is his
country and he know he has helped
so build it. Some Negroes may go
TO live abroad, feeling that they
can enjoy freedom there as they
cannot in the United States, but
even SO, they do it regretfully; and
IN spite of any bitterness they may
feel, few, if any, would do anything
80 undermine this government.
It's good that the Negro in
stinctively knows that this is a
fine place to live. He knows it
without having been anywhere
else. It's compliment to his good
judgment that he has had to suffer
elsewhere to learn that the USA
offers the best possible opportunity
for all, even if he does have to
fjght for his.
They say that in order to ap-
preciate an oil painting, one must
stand off a bit and get a good
angle on it. When one is up to
close the picture isn't too clear.
Therefore, anyone who doesn't
quite appreciate it, might take a
little jaunt elsewhere and come
back and look at this country from
little different angle. There must
be something in this idea, because
some of the most loyal Americans
we know are those who are brand
new Americans, and because they
understand how miserable life can
be, they appreciate America all the
more.

in Global'S third annual Confer
ence last Saturday, brought this
out in their discussions. Henry
Mao, Editor of the Chinese Nation
aliSt Daily here in New, York, a
young Chinese who has been in
this country scant four years,
and Gene Rea, Advertising Man
ager of II Progresso Italo-Amer-
icano, an Italian language news
paper, both expressed the most
reassuring loyalty to this country.
In speaking of combating pro-
paganda that would be harmful
to America, they both felt that
they were privileged to do a job
that the Voice of America couldn't
possibly do. In the words of Mr..
Rea:
after all, the people of my
country would be inclined to feel
that anything the Voice of Amer
lea said would be counter-propa-
ganda. But we have instituted let
ter-writing campaigns with our
people at home. We have asked
our readers to write letters to
their families over there telling
them how life is in America. Those
people feel that the Voice of
America might not tell the whole
truth, but when brother Giuseppe
writes home to his sister and his
mother and tells them that all the
things they hear against America
are lies, that is much more effec-
tive than official broadcasts."
The remarkable thing about
these newspaper men is that, as
they work so hard to AmericaniZe
their reading public, they know
that the better they do their job,
the faster they may lose their read
ers. But they see the job now, and
they think it is important They
think it is important because they
know what America has to offer
and they feel their people should
have the advantage of it. So, they
keep right on urging their people
to learn to speak and write the
English language we'll, to take out
citizenship papers, to vote, and to
take part in civic activities and be-
come well integrated so that they
can make their contribution to the
American Way of Life.
They do all this, knowing that
in time, because of the job they
have done. they may have to close
their doors. This MUST be a great
country!

Security Council

Meanwhile the National Secu-
rity Council was meeting here, re-
portedly to consider the difficult
question: Do Russia'S growing
offensive capabilities make it nee
eSSary for the United States to
adopt new-and expensive-de-
tense systems?
The NSC is the higheSt-level
policy making body of the Gov
ernment. Its membership includes
the President, the Vice President,
Secretary of State, Secretary of
the Treasury and Secretary of De-
tense. The decisions it reaches
usually are final.
There was no word last week on
the outcome of the meeting, or
whether, indeed, it had even
touched on the question of ex-
panded defenses. (Newsmen's "in-
side" stories claimed the decision
was against expansion) But what

genuinely want assurances they
will not be attacked.
Further, and most important,
hints of a policy modification came
in an unconfirmed Associated
Press story from London. The
story quoted Informed diplomats"
as saying American, British and
French representatives there were
talking over possible security
treaties to be offered Russia, pos
sibly for separate treaties between
the United States and Russia;
Britain and Russia, and the six
nation European Defense Commu-
nifty and Russia.
Such modern "LocarnoS" would
go a long way toward assuring
Russia-if she really sought as
surances.
If such assurances are indeed
offered to the Russian and Chinese
Communists, the administration
will have to cope with the horror
ultra conservatives here have of
anything that smacks of co-exist-
ence with the Reds.

threw stones and shouted insults.
At one time rioting Chinese seized
two Indian officers as hostages,
but the men were released after
an angry Indian general chewed
out the prisoners for their lack of
hospitality" They didn't even
give their hostages tea and
cigarettes.
The reluctant allied POWs, in
cluding the Americans, sang the
"Internationale" when they spotted
U. N. observers and shouted Com
munist slogans in unison. They
shook their fists at the Westerners
and cried, Go home, imperialists!"
1t was obvious the Communist
side had its men among the priS-
oners, leading the Red demonstra-
tions. And the Indian guards said
Chinese Nationalist agents had
infiltrated the U. N. prisoners and
were directing their riots.
The three-month period of "ex-
plantations" to the prisoners did
not start last week as scheduled.
Disagreements over the handling
of the lectures were not expected
to be resolved until this week.

The Softeninq

With the opening of the eighth
United Nations General Assembly
two weeks ago, Secretary of State
Dulles restated the United States
position in a maSterful speech: It
Is up to the Soviet Union to make
concessions if world tensions are
to be relaxed. The United States
stands ready to do its part, and
remains in a receptive mood for
any deeds the Reds have to offer,
Mr.. Dulles said. He added a mild
hint that the United States might
be willing, at the proper time, to
give Russia guarantees for its own
security.
This was an obvious reference to
the modern Locarno plan, pop
ularized by British Prime Minister
Winston Churchill and German
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, but
first suggested by German right
lists last spring. The idea is to
reassure Russia against possible
aggression from western Europe
Gncluding Germany while at the
same time obtaining Soviet acqui-
escence to an integrated buildup
of West European defenses against
possible Soviet attack.
After the Dulles speech, the next
move was up to Russia.

Korea

The transfer of prisoners of war
to the Neutral Nations Repatria-
ton Commission was completed in
Korea last week. The U. N. side
turned 22,6OO men over to the COM
mission, which was manned prin-
cipally by troops from India, and
the Communists produced $50
men. Twenty-three of the pre-
sumably pro-Communists soldiers
were Americans, 20 of them white,
three Negro. There was one
British soldier in the group. The
rest were South Koreans. All but
1900 of the Communist
prisoners were Chinese-"volun-
teers" in the Korean war.
Both groups of prisoners were
unruly whenever they we're as
sured of an international audience.

he told the United Nations, and
the Russian delegate in particular,
that his country would like to
open negotiations for a settlement
of the Indo-Chinese war, either
during the present political con-
ference. or after it.
(Some United States officials
wondered whether this was the
opening move toward French
pull-out in Indo-C China. Amer
lea, of course, wants to hold out
for unconditional surrender by
Ho Chi-Minh and the Indo-
ChineSe.)
Just as important, Mr.. Schu-
mann had a new word on the Eu-
ropean situation. He offered the
Kremlin and its satellites a non
aggression pact with Western Eu-
rope, to go into effect after the
integration of Germany.
Would talk of such a nom
aggression pact violate the United
States deeds-before-words for
mula? The world waited for
America to give its answer.
