to have been ordered by Amos T,
Hall. grand master OF the Prince
Hall grand lodge OF Oklahoma, to
cease participation in the nation
al affairs OF the Shrine.
In an edict directing the cess
sation OF relationship, Grand Mas
ter Hail charged; that certain
officers OF the Imperial council of
the Shrine have sown seeds OF
dissension In the various jurisdic-

they have levied illegal taxes and
that they illegally suspended the
charter OF the Daughters of Isis,
which is the women's department
OF the Shrine.
The Shrine leaders In Oklahoma.
when interviewed by an Oklahoma
Eagle reporter, stated they would
follow the grand masters direc-

Louisiana. Oklahoma, Massachu-

the situation was. Il would be re-
solved by Masons in purely
Masonic manner. and that II dis

he didn't admit that II did, the
leaders OF Prince Hall Masonry

that u should chart It's interna-

She cited the fact that the In

Minneapolis Tuesday and at the
University of Minnesota on We'd
nesday. She was guest of her

The Indian woman leader who
heads the Family Planning As
ISOLATION OF India, an affiliate OF
the Planned Parenthood League
OF America told OF the progress
being made In her country in
family planning.
Most progress has been made.
she said. in the thinking OF the
people, especially among the In
dian leadership and In the urban
communities. Not much progress
has been made In the villages
where three-fourths Of the In
dians dwell. chiefly because OF a
lack of medical personnel and
simple contraceptives which could
be explained by social workers In
the birth control field.
The Indian government has In
ciuded the program OF family
planning In its five year plan,
Over a million dollars yearly has
been appropriated for establish
ment and operation of family
counseliing and planning clinics In
the large cities.

No Resistance To Family

Planned parenthood has met no
resistance in India for there Is no

We still can't get off this sub
ject of having won the Pulitzer.
The incoming mail every day just
won't let it stray from our
thoughts for a minute. Matter of
fact, to date we have answered
the mail only through last We'd
nesday and from the looks of the
ever growing pile Of letters, it
will be weeks before we can &C
knowledge all the congratulatory
messages. Yet. we must confess.
to have heard from so many old
friends, as well as total strangers,
is a great morale builder and Gre
ates feeling that perhaps life is
worth living after all.
Funny thing about the messages
that we have received. At least
SO out of every 100 are highly
complimentary, congratulatory let
tiers but ever now and then we
get one Of those "cussing out
kind" One of those came in Sun
day from st. Petersburg, Fla.
That was another hot bed Of Khan
activity, you know. and Bill Hen
dirk, the Florida Grand Dragon,
headed the organization down
there.
The Sunday letter just in plain
language called us traitor" and
threw in lot Of other statements
of a prejudiced nature that we
won't mention here. What always
interests me the most is the fact
that when some one wants to bawl
you out, they won't sign their
names to the message. When it has
something good to say, he doesn't
mind putting his name in print.
We in the newspaper business
can't keep our Identities a secret
when we express opinion, but
those who disagree hide behind
the same cloak of secrecy that
they did while holding member
ship in the Klan. We have always
believed that anything worth do
ing at all was worth being proud
of. Anything that must be said
ANONYMOUSLY is hardly something
worth troubling about.
We are always happy to get
mail. especially letters and mes
Sages to the editor that are for
publication. But when they come
IN without signatures. some one
has something TO hide and those
letters not only go unpublished
but are not acknowledged.
