Revolution vs.. Revolution
BY Harry Gersh


Young john who's just learning to read was developing
bad habit If the first couple of letters word looked
familiar he slid the the letters He read what
was in his mind not what paper. Any unfamiliar
word beginning with sp" became space" If the word
'p', and 81" and M, he read planet
He's getting this tendency but lot of older and
supposedtobe smarter folk still think like that Start de-
scrbing storekeeper named Abe dark with curly beard
and they Immediately get fullengh mental pcure-and
false They're shocked that this happens to be de-
scription of guy named Lincoln.
And there's doughty neighbor who breathes hard when
she hears the word revolution Just smell Of the word
and she sees red boshevks with guns bombs and of
course boards She happens also and aggres
ton
All this occurred to while thinking of Brotherhood
Week Got me to thinking of uncommonly brave peo
pie They packed their families and belongings and moved
into untried and hostile territory They established homes
there surrounded by older inhabitants fought the new
corners with fire and guns Each night was threat and
every time one Of the left the security of the
home he walked in mortal danger
This is a description of pioneer homesteaders moving
west behind their breaking the building homes
in the face OF the Indians flaming arrows and dawn attacks
These pioneers made the land people who came
after.
But it's also description of Negro family in Illinois,
Alabama most anywhere accepting the promise and
homeland living there in the face and guns and
fire bombs-so proving that this still is the land of the
pioneers and of hope

A new group of leaders with new
look" on aims and methods is In the making
In the Negro race During slavery and fol-
lowing emancipation there grew up an idea
that the masses of Negroes would accept any.
thing and that to prevent progress 1t was
necessary only to stop the leader. Most tech
niques Of race relations were based on this
assumption. Because of the economic, social,
and educational conditions of the two periods,
the assumption bore considerable fruit in
practice. The rising tide of information re-
sudng from more schools, wider reading of
newspapers and magazines, listening to radio,
and Aooking and listening to television, have
raised the level of intelligence widened the
vision, and increased the moral courage of
the group as whole.
Three successive wars sending Negro boys
and finally Negro girls, as well as white boys
and girls, to foreign countries and giving
them firsthand contact with foreign customs
and f0lkways, and successive periods of un-
rest and travel to and from various parts of
the nation, have stimulated youth to refec-
ton and comparison. AS a result, youth, both
white and colored is beginning to show symp-
tons Of thoughtful participation in democracy.
An illustration of this is found in con-
versation between father and daughter re-
Gently. The daughter asked: Father, this is
. democracy. isn't it?" Father: Eyes, dear"
Daughter: well, then why is it that I have
to sit in the back of the bus?" Father ex-
planned that 1t was the law, and daughter did
not seem to think well Of such law She
even wondered why there should be such
law. Father happened to have a philosophic
outlook, so he was able to escape for the
time by presenting the idea that we should
accept all law while working to make in a

Bartlett Starts Campaign in Second Division With Blast at Republican
 Record; Predicts Big Demo Vote

Delegate Bob Bartlett started off his political campaign in the territory in Second Division at Kotzebue Friday and at Nome Saturday evening.
 Bartlett, who is seeking his sixth term of office, opened his remarks at the meeting held in the City Hall with a statement that he would like to criticize the policies of the Republican Party but can't find that they have any policies.
 He deplored the fact that Alas kan papers are filled with com plaints by Republicans because their party has failed to fulfill promises. "The nation wanted new team but it has been a period of failure and lack of work on behalf of Alaska"
 Bartlett was full of confidence that Democrats will need little campaigning because Secretary of Interior Douglas Mckay has conceded the election on his re- cent tour"
 He prophecied that the 1855 Territorial Legislature is going to be overwhelmingly Democratic.
 Bartlett compared Alaskan ap- propriations under the Democrats and Republicans, showing how the Alaskan monies had been de- creased substantially, especially the road-building funds.
 In reference to mining he. can- didly stated that neither Republi- cans nor Democrats had anything to be proud of in their accom- plishments.
 In his remarks on partition he quoted Adlai Stevenson: "To give aid and comfort by severing the

Eight Nations Sign Southeast Asia Security Pact

MANILA, R-Eight nations of the East and West today signed a collective security pact which in effect warned the Communists against any further aggression in southeast Asia.
 It took just three days for the United States, France, Great Brit ain, Australia, New Zealand, Pax istand, Thailand and the Philip pines to reach complete accord.
 The treaty hangs big "no trespassing" sign on small na- tions in the area. It binds the eight nations militarily and econ- omically, and declares each party will meet the "common danger" of armed attack in the treaty area or against any member" in ac- cordance with its constitutional processes"
 Temporarily the new defense organization will be known as the Southeast Asia Collective Defense Treaty. A permanent nafne will be adopted later.
 The "hands off" warning to the Communists defined the treaty area as "the general area of SEE. Asia, including also the entire ter ritories of the Asian parties, and the general area of the southwest Pacific, not including the Pacific area north of 21 degrees 30 min utes north latitude."
 The last definition would ex- tend the treaty just north of the northern tip of the Philippines, but short of Chinese Nationalist Formosa.

Shortage of Copenhagen
 Endangers Salmon Catch

PETERSBURG, R-Arrival of an air shipment of snuff averted a minor crisis that might have delayed departure of fishermen for the salmon grounds, the Petersburg Press reported yester- day.
 An adequate supply of snuff, the newspaper explained, is con- sidered as important as bait or ice for boats preparing to go to the fishing grounds. It's handler than smoking for fishermen with wet gear and heavy gloves, and is encouraged by boat owners be- cause there's no fire hazard
 The shortage developed when one store failed to anticipate the heavy demand and another failed to receive a shipment ordered. A request to Ketchikan brought the reply the stores there had no excess. But supply came in by air from a Juneau wholesaler be- fore the stocks ran out.

Marciano Hoping Charles Will Be OvercOnfident

GROSSINGER, NY, R-Man- ager Al Weill was talking about his favorite subject, Rocky Mar ciano, while the heavyweight champion stretched out on his bed.
 Rocky will be beaten by the guy who trades punches and trusts in luck" said Weill.
 Maybe he was hoping that part of his discourse would reach the ears of Ezzard Charles who will try again on Sept. Is to beat the champion in Yankee stadium.
 For only minutes earlier, when asked if he thought Charles would be more confident because he had gone IS rounds with Rocky, Weill said:
 "Charles will take liberties now. He went IS rounds with Rocky and wasn't knocked down. Maybe he thinks Rocky can't punch and will take chances"
 Rocky wasn't satisfied with that first fight" added Monsieur Weill. "He didn't get a clear shot at Charles, didya Rock?"
 "No," politely replied Marciano. q thought I had him several times although I never got in. a good clean punch. It should make him more confident. He probably thinks I don't punch as hard as they say"

New Polio Vaccine May Give Long. Term Immunity

ROME, lR-Dr. Jones E. Salk, whose polio vaccine is undergoing one of medical history's most closely watched tests, reported to- day that man eventually may gain longterm immunity against polio from as little as two injections.
 The young bacteriologist from the University of Pittsburgh sub mitted his eagerly awaited report to physicians and scientists of 49 nations, gathered in Rome for the International Polionnyelitis Con- gress.
 Salk developed the vaccine which has been given to 425,000 children in the United States in a massive trial supported by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis.
 Its effectiveness will not be known definitely until next March, when the field test re- suits are evaluated and announ- ced by Dr. Thomas Francis Jr., of the University of Michigan, Salk's former mentor and also a delegate at the Congress.
 But Salk reported there already is evidence that the vaccine gen. crates antibodies - virus-fighting particles-in the blood streams of vaccinated persons. He said they are equal to antibodies found in the blood of persons who have re- covered from the disease.
 "The injections are that such can be accomplished with as few as two injections" he reported, "provided the potency of the vac- cine and the interval between shots) are both adequate.'
 It is still not certain how long the effect of the vaccine will last, Salk said.
