No diplomatic wizardry or
access to top-secret files Is
necessary to come to such q
conclusion. If we do not rec
ognize this cold fact, the fault
will not be Frances or Brit
aims. They have put us
on notice that they consider
our policy towards the Peiping
regime foolish and unrealistic.
They have told US repeatedly
that since We have insisted on
the termination of colonialism
-aS we have done when we
pressured Britain to give full
independence to India and
Burma, the Dutch to surren-
der their government Of Indo-
nesia. and now the French to
give full liberty to Indo-C China
their interest in Asia Is
purely economic. Our prin-
cipal allies are not interested in
the fate of the Western Paci-
fic. They have told us frankly
that their interest is trade,
and in such a matter the mo-
rality of the international and
domestic policies of the pros
pective customer is matter
of complete indifference.
We have been warned-with
all the honeyed words Of
diplomacy-that if we choose
to make an issue out of the
Moscow-Peiping plans for the
enslavement of the peoples in
Southeast Asia. this will be
our own business and we
would do 1t on our own re-
sponsibility. Our allies will sit
"this one" out. They are anx-
ious to start extensive trade
relations with the enslaved
peoples Of the U. S. S. R. and
those behind the Iron Curtain
in Europe. Why should they
be f1nicky about doing the
same thing in regard to the
Asiatics. who know what lib
erty is far less than the Gen.
trail and Eastern Europeans?
This is the atmosphere the
Secretary of State will find at
Geneva in one of the most
important diplomatic battles
in history.

Even before Senator George

White House aides are be-

Chain Letters on the H-Bonnb
Campaign by Mail Against hernonucIeor Tests Fit
Into Red Plan Tried Earlier in Britain and France

States are usually counted on
to give the movement its frs
publicity. and then momentum
is added by the Communist
agents and their auxiliaries in
the propaganda field.
The reader can count on a
period of from two to three
weeks before such. movements
as these gain real backing from
persons usually unidentified
with the Communists but who
have been unwittingly per-
suaded by intermediates to
take up the cause in question.
The chain letter writing
campaign is relatively mex
pensive. but it does bring an
accumulation Of letters. When
the sources of the activity are
concealed, it can mislead the
recipients. The Identical
wording Of letters and a uni
formity of argumen are
enough to create suspicion.
Hence. in this instance, the
White House is not likely to
be misled. though it might
never have known the origin
of the chain letters except for
the discovery by informed per-
sons here of how the plot had
been set up. For even chain
letters which are recognized
as such do make an impression
by the fact of their large guam
tity.
In the case of the new cam
paign started by the Com
munist agents. mere disclosure
should be enough to warn peo-
pie that they are being duped
if they send on such letters.

The latest news on the Com

United States is the decision
of the top Communist strate-
gists to start a chain-letter
campaign among American
citizens directed to President
Eisenhower so as to persuade
him to halt all further tests
of the H-bomb.
Through $4,000 agents, the
Communist Party has begun to
take names at random out of
the telephone books and to
send a letter asking each per-
son to get five other people to
write letters and by the chain
system get a whole lot more
written.

Ban On Jim
Crow Travel
Is Approved

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 - The
NAACP-sponsored bill to ban seq
regation in all interstate public
transport moved a step forward
this week as the House Commerce
Committee approved it by vote of
1877.
The bill, which was approved at
closed session of the committee
on July 81, now goes to the House
Rules Committee where it's fate
is uncertain because of the con-
sentative character of the commit
tee and also because of the pros
pect of adjournment by July 81.
No action has yet been taken on the
bill in the Senate.
Under terms of the House bill,
introduced by Representative John
W. Hesselton, (R., Mass.), Jim
Grow practices in interstate bus,
train, ship or other public trans
port will be banned. The merger
would impose a fine of $1,000 on
any transport company or agent
for violation of the statute.
! rs Testifying in behalf of the bill
before the House Commerce Com
mittee on May IL, Clarence Mitch
ell, director, NAACP Washington
Bureau, and Robert L. Carter,
NAACP assistant special counsel,
cited instances of discrimination
and denial of accommodations to
seat coaches and told of the capri
cious treatment accorded colored
travellers by railroad conductors
and bus drivers who sometimes re-
sort to violence in order to enforce
jim Crow regulations. Moreover
they pointed out, the Supreme
Court had, in a series of decisions,
in effect invalidated Jim Grow laws
and practices in interstate travel.
Meanwhile, the NAACP had flied
a comprehensive complaint with
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion against II railroad companies
a railroad station and restaurant
in the station. Hearings on this
complaint have been set for July
81.

Southern HALFWAY
Thru $40 Million
Building Program

Baton Rouge, La, July 3D.
Southern University, Baton Rouge,
La, is almost halfway in its ten
ii.illion dollar building program
which began in 1850, University
officials announced this week.
This Louisiana Institution is OPP
Grating on a 20 year plot plan de-
signed to take complete advantage
of the 500 acre grounds adjoining
the banks of the Mississippi River
at SCOTS Bluff, five miles north
of Baton Rouge.
Because of it's accessibility and
the virture of it's locality near the
State Capitol makes possible for
fuller opportunity of ever grow
ing and accommodating stronger ed
vocational support. Southern has
become a point of interest for Wis
itors who come to Louisiana for
"look see" in the Pelican State.
In 1850, the University Law
School was completed and by the
end of this year, at least five
other structures will have been
built. These will include, a new
Music Building, now in use, which
features all of the essentials of an
up to date well equipped modern
department. The $1,000 square
feet of floor space embodies six
classrooms, "a piano practice
rooms, II faculty studies, an audi
forum, instrument storage room,
uniform storage room, and the Di
rector's Office. 1t is a one story
brick structure in the shape of an
eighth note. Two dormitories for
men and one for women will be
completed by this fall. A gymnas-
ium is now under construction
which will feature 49, X 75'
swimming pool. 1t will house seven
classrooms, offices, shower stalls
and basketball court, which can
be quickly converted to a 5000 seat
, ing capacity. A million dollar Ag-
, riculture Science building has been
completed, with the equipment now
being installed for occupancy this
fail. These modern brick struc-
lures plus renovations and addi-
tions to older buildings add more
than 100000 square feet of floor
space to the University Program.
AS an Agriculture and Mechan-
ical College, Southern has as its
main purpose that of preparing
leaders and citizens, in general, for
wholesome participation in the
american Way of Life" Toward
this end, it seeks to make students
intelligently sensitive to commun-
ity problems and through a foun-
dation in liberal and vocational ed
ucation, to render them able to
develop practical procedures for
coping with these problems.
A standard four year college of
fering courses leading to the ABB.
or BIS. Degrees. The college is
fully accredited as Glass "a" and
is rated as an approved college by
the American Medical Association.
