Letter To The Editor
READER THINKS COLORED
GOSPEL SINGERS LOSING
GPOlIMn

Colored folks for a long time
have held the reputation of being
the best singing group of any il
the world. But if the White Cos
pei singers, men and women Of
today, continue their upward
trend they may capture the repu-
tation for this particular type of
singing from colored people.
Gospel singing for this day and
time l think will accomplish more
good for the greater number OF
people Wheen done in a smooth
manner and you can hear and
understand the words. In this
changing world of ours, colored
people of today can't rely on the
style and reputation for success
full singing built UP by our fore
fathers and mothers 80 or 80 years
ago. We must continue improving
ourselves if we hope to retain
the good reputation as singing
group in the world of today. There
are many good gospel singers in
our race today of both men and
women some are outstanding art
lists, their singing is inspiring and
uplifting. But there are some
others of us think would do well
to eliminate long baleful morns
and the jazz style of gospel sing
ing when making recordings TO
come on the air so people OF all
classes listening in may under
stand and enjoy what is being
sung.

A gentleman reader of our column
took violent exception to the report
which appeared here last week of the
analysis of Ben Gurion's resignation from
the head of the Israel government
was gliding the lily, he said / did
not present all the facts -.
And so because my hand has been
called I will venture little further to
paint the picture as it no doubt is, and
point up the accents which were then
presented with an undertone last week.
The theory offered in our last issue
was that Ben Gurion was fed up with

of Israel he can laugh at the re-
ligionists, sheer at the General
Zionists and fight wit h the
Maiapnicks if he so desires (and
there is no doubt that he so de-
sires) ;. The dignity of the office
of the highest chair in government
will not suffer, and the force of
the personality that is Ben Cur

These are the simple unadult-

or they can be decried and
deridden until the entire picture

Israel Delegation
Assails Resolution
The Big Three resolution was
termed "one-sided and discrimi-
natory" by the Israel delegation
at the United Nations in an Of
fetal statement issued to the
press.
THE resolution can only pre-
JUDGE the chance of a peaceful
settlement of the dispute" the
statement said. It pointed out that
The language used in the censure

curence" was more extreme and
Incorporate" than ever applied
by the United Nations to aggres-
sive wars in which there were
thousands of casualties.
''The brutal slaughter of thou
sands of Israelis at the hands of
aggressors before and since the
Arab-Israel agreements" the
statement said, has "elicited no
word of sympathy or of disap-
proval in the resolution of the
body to which this draft is now
submitted"
The Israel delegation asserted
that the resolution came "close
to condoning the armed incursions
from Jordan" The statement went
on to say that the resolution re-
fuses to consider the causes of the
regional tension and concentrates
only on criticizing its results. 1T
turns away from the clear asser-
ton of a need for negotiated
peace settlement. such as Britain.
France and the United States have
always upheld in the past" the
Israeli delegation stressed.
''It even ignores completely the
proposals for an immediate and
specific discussion in the United
Nations of border tension between
the two parties" the Israel state
ment continued. I'm short, this
draft crystallizes and conserveS
all the causes and tension in our
area and opposes any forward
movement towards a peace settle
ment such as would eliminate the
very incidents which have aroused
the Security Councils concern.
This refusal to deal with the basic
causes of insecurity is bound to
increase it. Its adoption would be
a big step backward from peace"

By Robert K. ,WoIsh

Republican leaders are driving

q House-approved appropriation

lion additional Federal school
aid to areas such as nearby Vir-
ginia and Maryland communities.
The Senate Appropriations
Committee, winding up hearings
on 1926 million supplemental
measure passed by the House a
week ago, today seemed set to
recommend comparatively few
changes.
Members yesterday listened
alphabetically as Office of Edu-
cation authorities asked for $24
million instead of the sos mil
lion extra allowed by the House
over protests of the House APP
preparations Committee.
That supplementary amount
for the remainder of the fiscal
year ending June 80 would help

sets up fines of not more than

pathy when various agencies
asked that the Senate restore
many additional sums the House
had stricken from the $2.3 billion
supplemental bill submitted last
month by former President Tru-
man.
At the same time, there was a
marked trend toward decreased
requests. officials of several
agencies, in appearing before
the Senate Committee during
the last two days, disclosed they
now think they can get along
until June 30 on somewhat less
than they wanted the House to
grant last week.
The hearings gave more than
a sign of Senate as well as
House committee economy
mindednesS as to regular appro-
priation bills yet to be presented
for the next fiscal year. They
also gave committee members an
opportunity to voice views or
warnings on numerous policy
matters.
The Senate committee COM
mended the Civil Service Com
mission for arranging to take
some 81 million in unexpended
balances from other funds and
use it for Investigations of
United States citizens working
for or seeking jobs with the
United Nations. -
Access to Files Sought.
Several Senators took the OPP
portunity to demand that Con-
gress itself be given access to
certain types of loyalty and Sc
curity files. They urged that the
commission confer with Ambas-
sador Henry Cabot Lodge, jr.,
head of the United States dele
cation to the U. N, to make Ger
tain that the results of commits
sion and FBI Investigations are
effective.
Republican Senators Ferguson
of Michigan and Dirksen of Illi-
nois said the 81 million would be
wasted" if U. N. Secretary Gen.
eral Trygve Lie did not act after
receiving unfavorable reports by
United States investigative agen-
cieS.
The problem of safeguarding

schools operating under the
korean CT Bill of Rights" came
in for long discussion. Office of
Education authorities encoun-
tered sharp questioning when
they asked for restoration of a
$289,000 additional salary and
expense item disapproved by the
House. They contended the
money was necessary to super
wise generalization of schools
taking part in the veterans edu-
cation program.
Veterans Administrator Carl
Gray likewise had a rugged
afternoon. He requested the
Senate to restore approximately
So million in Veterans funds.
That additional amount, disal-
lowed by the House, would be
largely for the Veterans Admin
istration medical and hospital
program for the rest of this ifs

|Romspeck Says Attacks Hinder Hunt for Aides

Former Civil Service Chairman
Robert Ramspeck declared last
night that the Eisenhower adj
ministration will find it difficult
to recruit the top-flight people
it needs. so long as 'indiscrimi-
nate" attacks on Federal en-
ployes continue.
Mr.. Ramspeck, who resigned
as csc chairman last month to
become vice president of Eastern
Airlines, said this is one of the
most troublesome matters faced
by the new administration.
Speaking before the Society
for Personnel Administration in
the YWCA, Mr.. Ramspeck said
that not only must an executive
in private industry take a salary
cut to accept a Federal position,
but che must have a hide as
tough as an elephant so as to
Withstand the darts of his
critics."
Wins Award.
Mr.. RamSpeck was honored by
the SPA last night as the win
ner of the Warner Stockberger
Award. given each year to the
public official who has contrib
uted most to Federal personnel
administration. Mr.. Ramspeck
was selected for his truth cam
paign, in which he undertook to
explain to the American public
about Federal employees and the
work they are doing.
The Stockberger Award is
named after the first personnel
director of the Agriculture De-
partment.
In his speech. Mr.. Ramspeck
declared: II urge that general
lied criticism be stopped, that
specific criticism supplant it
where justified and that we join
forces to take the facts of Gov
eminent and its people to the
public"
Mr.. Ramspeck, who for II
years was a Democratic member
of the House from Georgia, said
I'VE need good men in Govern
ment-and we need to retain the
many good people we already
have. Both will be less difficult
if we can bring to the public q
real understanding of the facts.

which recent critics, generally
from the business world, most
often overlook. They would place
the Civil Service Commission in
the position of the employment
Office for a large corporation
and would subordinate the public
policy aspects of the commits
sion's mission to the personal
service aspects.
This would simply amount
to an elaborate and genteel
