OPINION

The story goes that Mary Nc
Leod Bethune, whose parents were
only a few years removed from
slavery, was stung by a White
"hild's taunt: "You can't read"
The remark aroused an indoni-
table spirit which triunnphed
over every obstacle. The girl OBJ
tanned her own education by al
most superhuman struggle, and
then went on TO a lifelong fight
to see that other children of her
race should also have the oppor-
tunity TO learn. She founded a
school in Florida ION $3.50 and

Goodman College. II was incred-
IDLY hard work; the first class OF
five used charcoal for pencils and
mashed elder-berrieS for ink. But
this remarkable woman, driven
by inner strength and with never
thought for self, won through
for her people -.
AS a pioneer in the battle
against racial discrimination, Mrs.
Bethune contributed a brave and
inexhaustible leadership. She
fought on every 'front.' by speeches
and friendships she set liberating
forces in motion. AS founder OF
the National Council for Negro
Women, as an official Of many
governmental and private agen-
cies, she exerted a potent influ-

races. II has been an extraordin-
airy career, all the more so be-
cause these achievements came
against mighty odds.

Dismissal Is Denied.
The Army said it would prove
that Mai. Nugent. 44-year-old

told a "fanatical" North Korean
that he was a personnel officer
and could help the Reds. 4
The third day of the court
martial began with 1t. Col.
Donald L. Names, jr.. the law
officer, denying a motion to dis
miss the last of 13 charges
against Mai. Nugent.
The defendants counsel sue

which accused Mai. Nugent of
urging fellow prisoners to col

the enemy. Col. Names held
that it should be more specific.
The prosecution then added to
the charge an allegation that

Committee" in the camp.
Pleads Not Guilty.
After losing his last bid to
throw out the charges, Mai.
Nugent entered q plea Of not
guilty on all 13 counts, setting
the stage for testimony to begin
in the trial that may last a
month or more.

EastIand Will Listen
To Senator's Seeking
Korean War Probe
BY the A,.osioisd Press

Senator Eastland. Democrat,
Of Mississippi said today he would
be glad to listen" to any Sena-
tors who want the Senate Inter-
nal Security Subcommittee to
pursue an inquiry into possible
subversion" in the conduct Of
the Korean war.
But at this time, he said, he
has formed no opinion on
whether the inquiry should be
pressed.
Senator Eastland is the senior
Democrat on the subcommittee
and is expected to become its
chairman. succeeding Senator
Jenner, Republican, of Indiana.
The subcommittee said in a
report yesterday that testimony
1t took from five senior COM
manders in Korea showed they
believed victory against the
Communist forces there could
have been won without starting
q third world war.
The retired Army, Air Force
and Navy officers believed, the
subcommittee said, that possible
subversion, wishful thinking.
European orientation and allied
pressure denied them victory"
The officers who testiged at
subcommittee hearings starting
last August were Gen. Mark
Clark, 1t. Gen. George E. Strate-
meyer, Gen. James A. Van Fleet,
1t. Gen. Edmond M. Almond and
Admiral Charles T., Joy.
These former commanders in
the Korean theater, the sub
committee said, supplied some
clues to possible subversion in
Government departments but
were unable to make specific
charges"
The report said, however. that
they expressed the hope that
the investigation would be con-
tinued and would encompass the
source from which their orders
were received--the Pentagon,
State Department, our allies.

The subcommittee urged that
Its report be brought at once to
the attention of the Senate

lations Committee, "as germane

1855 County
Wheat Support
Rate Announced

The final support rate for 1855
crop No. 1 Northern Spring and
No. l Hard Winter wheat in
Richland county will be $500 per
bushel, Arthur Anderson, chair
man of the Richland county Agri-
cultural Sterilization and Conser-
walton committee has announced.
These rates reflect 8215% of the
July 1, 1855, parity price for
wheat and are 2 cents a bushel
more than the minimum rates
previously announced.
In September of 1854 the De-
partment of Agriculture announ-
ced that the national average sup
port rate for 1855 crop wheat
would be 8215% of parity but
not less than $2.06 per bushel for
the national average. The parity
figure for wheat at that time was
$3.50 per bushel. Since the July
1 parity price is more than $3.50,
the minimum support rate has
been increased as indicated above.
Premiums and discounts for
other classes and grades previous
ly announced are not changed by
the increase from the minimum
support rate.
