BY ROWLAND EVANS JR.

WASHINGTON Rs--John L. Lew
is asked Congress today to strike
from the law books lock, stock
and barrel" all labor laws passed
in the last II years.
The burly mine workers chief,
in a prepared statement, told the
Senate Labor Committee:
"This proposal is seriously made.
The ever rising tide of industrial
strife in recent years and the re-
peated governmental interferences
+. under existing law and the Bit
terness engenderei thereby in all
segments of our population justify
the Congress in stripping the sta
tute books Of both the Wagner and
Taft-Hartley Acts"
That would leave two basic laws
dealing with organized labor-the
1882 Morris-Laguardia Act and the
1914 Clayton Act.
The Taft-Hartley Law. passed In
I94T to supersede the 1885 Wagner
Act is now up for possible revision
before the Senate and House Labor
Committees. Most Of organized la.
Dor favored the Wagner Act and
wanted il kept on the books.
No matter how amen6sc., Lewis
said, the Taft.Hartley Act win re.

side Of American labor" He ad.

IN colleges for Negroes in Missis-
sippi. - .<
In a meeting on April 7, 1858 at
MIA Headquarters, the MIA Leg
islative Committee continued the
study begun during the recent
Annual Convention and issued the
following statements:
A. We deplore the attempt of
the State Department of Educa-
ton to establish make-shift and
pseudo-graduate training at Jack
son and Alcorn Colleges, schools
which have met minimum stand
ards only for undergraduate work,
although some Negro principals,
unthinkingly, have approved quick
easy credit mills in order to secure
better salaries.
B. In view Of the fact that at
present, there is not a college for
Negroes in Mississippi equipped
and in position to offer graduate
work, we condemn the idea of
graduate study at either Jackson
College or Alcorn College for
credit, but, we do approve the idea
of workshops, without graduate
credit, for the in-service training
Of principals.
c. Better trained principals can
be secured by giving more gener-
Gus graduate aid for study in out
of-state accredited universities.
More liberal financial aid for such
study should be the policy until
such time the State can provide
graduate training within our State
for Negroes commensurate with
that Of the State universities for
Whites.
D. 1t was, also, called to the
attention of this committee that
it has been alleged that several
county superintendent have cir
cumvented the fine intentions Of
the Legislature by forcing Negro
teachers to sign waivers of their
retirement benefits on threat of
losing their jobs. 1t is hoped that
the Governor and the Attorney
General will investigate such re-
prehensible conduct on the part
of such superintendent, and will
take necessary action to correct
the situation.

u S Only Hope for
World Peace:
Bunche

WASHINGTON, D. c., Apr. Is.
If the United Nations fails, war
is inevitable, DR.. Ralph Bunche, d.
rector Of the Department of Trus-
teeship of the UN, warned Thurs
day.
He sharply challenged "profes-
sional critics" to make constructive
suggestions for the Improvement
Of the international organization.
DR.. Bunche was the principal
fpaaker ct the closing session of
e first National Conference of
the National Citizens Committee
for the World Health Organiza-
ton.
The United Nations official
noted that there had been demands
by hostile critics that "the United
States get out Of the United Ma
tons and the United Nations get
out of the United States" He said
the national interests of this coun-
try were deeply involved in the fu-
ture of the United Nations, that
1.-The stakes are SO very great in
this atomic age" that the people
simply could not permit the United
Nations and it's specialized agen-
cies to "fail by default"
DR.. Walter c. Laves, chairman
Of the United States National Com
mission for the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Gull
tural Organization, told the con-
ference that the charters of the
various United Nations agencies
constituted "the greatest combined
mutual insurance policy ever writ
ten in the modern World-insurance
against war, poverty, sickness and
ignorance"

tation, better protection of life,
liberty, and property are all con-
cerned with politics. Politics, he
emphasized, affords the instru-
ments needed to right the ills of
a community or of people.
Speaking of the Importance of
the vote he said, "Votes are to
'olitics what money is to business
its very life blood" "If your
name is on the rolls of eligible
voters, then your Importance as a
citizen takes on a new meaning"
"You suddenly find yourself and
your vote sought after you become
somebody" "There is no color on
your vote as it goes into the ballot
box"
In obvious reference to the COM
plants Negroes are making be-
cause of existing conditions and the
failure of political candidates to
hear their pleas, he said, 1--WE have
no right to expect those who are
politically-minded to commit polit-
ical suicide by defending US when
we ourselves won't avail ourselves
of the means to support them
with our votes, and by our votes
endeavor to defeat those in official
position who use the power of their
office to retard, handicap, and hui
initiate us.
Concluding here he said, "a peo-
pie who vote is respected people.
A voteless people is an ignored
, people.
ION the matter of race relation
ship he said, "The power to pro-
test against our enemies is neces-
sary, but the power to praise our
friends will pay larger dividend
than time spent in excoriating our
enemies. Any Negro leader, or in
stitution whose action, words, and
propaganda are calculated to breed
racial hatred I'M the hearts of Ne,
groes against any people because
of race is greater menace, a
greater detriment to the group
from within, than any outside per
son could be-" =
1--WE cannot, and should not, win
by arraying race against race. We
cannot win by engendering and
holding hatred against white peo-
pie because they are white"
In attacking and warning a.
gainst communism he told his
hearers that in spite of every ex-
listing condition America held out
the greatest opportunity and hope
for the Negro people of any other
nation on the earth.
The large crowd stopped the
Congressman speech time after
time with rounds Of applause.
In the audience were many prom
inent leaders from all sections Of
the state.
The Congressman was introduced
by Honorable B. A. Green, Mayor
of Mound Bayou, Miss, the ALL

Forestry Notes

This is the time of year wher
the forest insect population be
comes more active. In Holme.
county the most important insect
problem facing the forest farmel
is the Fps beetle. The following
is intended to give the farmer
some idea Of how to recognize and
cope with this problem.
The point Of attack on living
pine trees is usually indicated by
the emulation Of pitch. When the
bark is removed it will be noted
that this beetle makes either
straight or star-shaped tunnels in
the inner bark. The beetle itself
is black or brown varying in
length from 1/8 inch to ia inch
The most easily recognized char
acteristic of this beetle is the
scooped-out or notched rear end
Once the beetles have entered the
tree at some weakened point the
girdling of the tree begins. Within
10 to IA days the tree foliage
will turn from green to yellow
green to yellow-brown, to red
brown. At this time the tree is
dead and most of the beetles have
left the tree. Therefore, it is i'm
portant that all control measures
should be taken when the first
symptoms appear. Nothing can
be done to save the tree once the
beetles have gained entrance. In
order to stop the spread of this
beetle to other pines il is neces-
sary to cut the infested pine, fell.
ing 1t in north-south direction,
exposing it to the sun. After a
few days turn the log and expose
the other side. The heat of the
sun will kill the beetles.
II should be remembered that
lips beetles will attack trees thai
are in an unhealthy condition
Fire is the most damaging ele-
ment to any tree. The effects Of
fire are cumulative. It is not only
responsible for the outright de
|struction of timber but for stunt
ed growth and the majority Of in
sect attacks. When all OF the PEG
pie realize this fact we will star
growing timber in Holmes county
