Mr.. Glass Open Confession

Last Saturday night Powell Glass, Jr of Lynchburg
in address delivered before group of influential
Roanoke supporters of his candidacy for Congress-
y apoogzed for actively supporting General Eisenhower
for President. 1t is said that misery likes company" If
Mr. Gasss conscience is causing him misery for desert

has lot of company. There many others who are
equally as repentant Mr. Gasss sin if he has sinned
all, his open apology AS candidate the loyal Dem
ocrats will certainly magnify the dsservce he rendered
his Party at critical time
AS for the Democrats for Eisenhower who helped
elect the Republican candidate the Presidency of the
United States, there many who yet believe in him.
We admit however, that there who hoping
that he will yet make good because they about for
his election.
The open declaration of repentance for supporting
the Eisenhower campaign may not enhance Mr. Glasss
candidacy in the threeway for the Democratic

ACCEPTING THE DECIs
A WELL KNOWN sports
commentator of this area al,
ways concludes his radio
report of sports events with
these wise words of counsel
swim or lose, be a gooc
sport" Good sportsmanshir
demands that men be gra.
cious,. win or lose. Everybody
admires that whenever they
see evidences of it. When 8
fast charging tackle throws
a fleet footed halfback for a
loss by hitting him so hard
that he thinks a ton OF
bricks has fallen on him, we
like to see the tackle give
him a hand and help him to
his feet again. That's being
a good sport.
Now the tackler who helps
him to his feet doesn't be-
come so elated over his &C.
complishment that he quits
the game and sits on the
sideline rejoicing over what
he has done. He takes his
place in the line and gets
ready to nail the back again
on the next play, if he can,
only to help him to his feet
again. Good sportsmanship
involves a clean hard fight,
without violating the rules
of the game, remaining
courteous and friendly both
during and after the con-
test. When the game is over
good craftsmanship is evil
denced by a graciousness of
manner on the part of both
winner and loser. The win
ner naturally rejoices in his
victory but does so with re-
CARDS for the feelings of the
loser. The loser accepts de-
feat without sulking or plot
ting revenge through some
foul deed after dark. The
winner can afford to be gra-
cious and if the loser is not,
then he is not a good sport.
FOR 80 YEARS the
American Negro has been
In a contest trying to win
first-class citizenship. The
game isn't over yet but on
the last play he hit the South
a terrific blow that really
threw it for a loss. The blow
left it stunned and dazed.
The Supreme Court decision
outlawing segregation was
the hardest blow received
by the South since the Civil
War. The high stepping
southerners who have been
running roughshod over the
Negro ever since the con-
test started were tackled
hard and really thrown for
a loss.
Now good sportsmanship
demands that we give him a
hand and help him to his feet
again. If he needs a little
time to collect his wits and
get adjusted, let him call
time out" The rules of the
game permit that. Just re-
mind him that there is a
limit set to the time he can
take for that. Now during
the time out" period while
he is catching the breath
that was knocked out of him,
you don't tackle him. That
would not be sportsmanlike.
YOU LEAVE him unmo-
Tested to rest and refresh
himself and take counsel
among h j s teammates as
how best to continue the
game. But while he is rest

Oppenheimer said. II explained
that the uncertainties in this

did not know whether one had

it and tested it (untiO you

But the report also advised
"We believe a super bomb should

DR.. Hans Bethe of Cornell. a

not think there has been any

not take a stand as to whether it
should be built.
DR.. Robert Bacher, former
Acc member. now of the Califor-
mia Institute of Technology-"I

tried to avoid publicity, adding:

Oppenheimer Support in 1851.
One of the counts against DIR.
Oppenheimer is that his reluc-
lance and lack of enthusiasm de-
layed the H-bomb's development.
DR.. Teller testified that he first
got support for the H-bomb prof.
ect from DR.. Oppenheimer in
June, 1881. He quoted DR.. OPP
penheimer as saying he never
would have opposed it at the
start if such an idea had been
suggested then. He said DR.. OPP
penheimer warmly supported"
this new approach.
DIR. Teller was asked what he
thought would happen to nuclear
work in the United States If DR.
Oppenheimer would "go fishing
for the rest Of his life" He said
he believed DR.. Oppenheimer
could "go fishing without affect
ing the work of those who are
actively engaged in the job"
BY his reference to DR.. OPP
penheimer and others pulling
out" of Los Alamos, DR.. Teller
referred to what he and others
described as a wholesale exodus
of scientists from the A-bomh

1854. At that time. Mr.. Folsom
stated:
We fully believe that non-dis-
elimination in employment Is not
only a matter Of principles; II il
also a matter OF good business
our minority groups can contrib
ute relatively as much in the way
Df technical skills as any other
part Of our population, as RCA ex-
pcrience Is showing. These groups
also form a considerable market
for the output Of American in
dustry, and they can be- counted
upon 10 consume more Of this out
put M their standards Of living
are raised"
Backed by RCA management in
this sound policy, Mr. Turf said
and aided by the men OF the Ma
ti0nal Urban League and its local
branches. RCA has made great
strides in providing equal employ
ment opportunities in our bust
ness"
He reported that among occu-
pations in which Negroes are en-
ployed in manufacturing plants
and subsidiaries Of RCA are the
following group leader and super
visor, technical writer and edi-
tor. quality control technician.
studio engineer. recording techni-
clan. process engineer. detail and
design craftsman. systems en-
gineer. and design and develop
ment engineer.
Mr. Tuft. in concluding his re-
marks, declared;
Let me again emphasize that
progress depends on industry hav-
ing a broad progressive employ
ment policy wholeheartedly sup
ported by all management person
nell To this must be added frank
and honest appraisal Of the prob
lens faced by industry and the
Urban League, as well as sin
cere desire by all parties 10 do
something constructive"
