BY BAILEE THOMAS

UN: After Russian delegate
Joseph Malik smacked Gov. James
Byrnes. U. S. delegates ears back
in a human rights debate, the
Dixie-crat u. S, delegate was
given another assignment, and
Congresswoman Frances Bolton
replaced him. How simple can we
Americans act? The spectacle of
Byrnes attacking the Reds for
violation of human rights in the
satellite nations while he, in his
home state of S. c., is an out
spoken advocate of violation of
the rights of Americans of color
is alarming.
Alarming because II indicates
ineptness on the part of our
delegation TO the UN. To des-
ignate Byrnes 10 serve on any
committee that has under con
sideration human rights makes
mockery OF u. $. position and
