He said the domestic counter
part of the human rights doctrine
is civil rights, and that for the Sec
ond time in our natural history we
face the issue of human rights on
the political level.
The first, he said, was the de-
cisive national action regarding
slavery; the second is the national
action regarding the full privi-
lodges of citizenship, equality Of
opportunity, safety and security of
the person, freedom of conscience
and expression, the elimination of
segregation and discrimination
among American citizens.
DIR. Johnson said constitutional
guarantees in the past have stress
ed negative rights and collective
rights, Security has been guaran-
teed against the tyranny of the
state.
Right To Work
But these, the said have not been
positive and substantive rights;
these positive rights are the right
to work, to educate, to health, to
respect as a person, without regard
to race, religion, to nation origin.
DR.. Johnson further stated that
the Supreme Court decision of May
II, 1861, dramatized the fact that
the future into which we have been
casually tossing our ideas for many
years is no longer remote.
He declared that whatever the
status of equality of opportunity,
it can be said that there no longer
exists in the U. S., or any other
part of the world today any sup
port of the principles of inequality,
either of race, religion or class.

Abolish Negro History Week?

Last weeks observance of National Negro History

An increasingly vocal group of Negroes is raising
question about the desrabiity of continuing to observe
the Week" They not only using the old arguments

1t is agreed that over-supply of consciousness

develop destructive nferOrty completes which do the

Negro History Week does great good, if no more

Parents Alerted To
'5trep' Symptoms To
Help Guard Against
Rheumatic Fever

NEW YORK - A when to
Call Your Doctor" checklist is pro-
vided for parents by the American
Heart Association as part of the
"Stop Rheumatic Fever" campaign
which is being conducted in CO.
operation with the National Heart
Institute of the United States Pub
lie Health Service. The checklist,
which appears in the booklet, "Now
You Can Protect Your Child
Against Rheumatic Fever" con-
tains seven questions designed to
alert parents to the possible pres
ence of the most common fore
runner of rheumatic fever, 'strep'
sore throat. The questions are:
1. Did the sore throat come on
suddenly?
2. Does your youngster complain
that his throat hurts most when
he swallows?
8. Does it hurt below the angle
of his jaw when you press there
gently with your fingers !? Are the
glands swollen?
a. Does he have a fever? Usual
ly 'strep' infection brings on a
fever between 101 and 104 de-
grees).
5. Does your child complain of
headache?
6. Is he nauseated? Has he
vomited?
7. Has he been in contact with
anyone who has had scarlet fever
or sore throat ? ANY child who
has been exposed to scarlet fever
should see his doctor for PREVENT
tive treatment.)
The leaflet points out that d
youngster with streptococcal in
lection is not likely to have all of
these symptoms, but it urges call
ing a doctor if some of the dang
er signals are present, since only
doctor can diagnose 'strep' and

NOTES

United Nations, N. Y. (GlobaD
= Did Ethiopia rebuff a Negro
American woman? This charge
has been made, for the following
reason: Mrs. Gwendolyn Fowler,
a Des Moines, Iowa chemist, spent
five weeks in training in Wash
ington for an overseas job with the
Foreign Operations Administration
for health and hospital work in
ETHIOPIA, and was cleared for the
post by the F. B. l., but was not
given the assignment. 1t was
later reported that oklahoma
A & M College has the contract
to do this work in Ethiopia"
The charge was made that APP
prevail was withheld because of
"some racial issue" which was
mot raised by any U. S. officials"
This places the blame on the
Ethiopian government, by infer
ence. Another statement was
made that approval was not given
because of "the status of women
in the near East, Africa and South
Asia"
These statements give a picture
of the Ethiopian government that
is completely foreign to any i'm
preston l received when l visited
there in 1852. First of all, women
were given equal rights in Ethiopia
more than IA years ago, and many
of them are working in the various
ministries, and agencies of the
government. Further, it seems
most unlikely that the United
States government would spend
five weeks training a person for
a job in country without that
country's approval beforehand.
When l was in Ethiopia in 1862,
Point had 81 Americans not one
of them Negro. At the same time,
the Imperial government of Ethiop-
ia had many Negro Americans
working in it's various ministries,
both male and female, and the
Ministries of Education and Agri-
culture were and still are trying
to get more Afro-American in
structors. In fact many Philippians,
including Cabinet Ministers and
members of the Imperial family
wanted to know why America did
not send out some of our "black
brothers" to represent them in
Ethiopia.
What is the comment of high
Ethiopian government officials in
New York? They say, "Impossi-
blew and insist that an American
Negro woman would be most well
come in Ethiopia.

NEW YORK - Girl Scout Week
will be observed this year from
March 6 through IL, and will fea-
ture activities designed to empha-
size three ideas which the Girl
Scouts believe America needs. The
Girl Scout theme for 1866 is BE
lieve, Belong, Build" and Girl
Scout Week programs will be plan
ned to show that Scouting helps
girls live up to those detectives.
In putting Believe, Belong,
Build" into practice, Scouts are en-
courage to develop the resourceful-
ness which is so valuable an Amer
lean trait, and which played so
large part in the march from
wilderness to world power. One
current device to teach girls to
solve problems by using practical
imagination is the Girl Scout
Camping Caravan. This is a
three-year program of teaching
primitive camping to leaders, so
that they in turn can teach girls.
Thousands of Girl Scouts now are
practicing Camping Caravan tech
niques in hopes of attending the
1856 Senior Roundup. This will
be the first mass camping project
in Girl Scout history. 1t will be
attended by 1000 teen-age Scouts.
Scheduled for the Highland State
Recreation Area near Pontiac,
Mich, in July 1856, the Senior
Roundup will be large-scale DEM
onstration of Girl Scout principles
in action.
Girl Scouts BELIEVE, by know
ing their country's history and
traditions, by constantly renew
ing their promise to God and their
country, by adhering to the Girl
Scout Laws, which emphasize the
spiritual foundations underlying
our society.
Girl Scouts BELONG, by enter
ing into Scouting's free association
of girls and adults; by learning
through actual experience to .ac-
cept people on the basis Of their
essential WORTH by enjoying the
personal satisfactions of belonging
to a group with worthy detectives
and constructive program of
learning by doing"

PURE IN HEART
l believe a man should be healthy
And in the prime of activeness of
life
To take a job of nightwatching
So he can protect his life.
Sympathy is good for the cripple
But night watching is not for this
1t takes strong and wide-awake
To be on a night watch stand.
| hope someday the people can see
That it's Gods man that writes
like me
To wake the unconcerned in life
And be concerned of Gods mans
advice.
You are giving the lame and Grip
pied men
That they don't need
Just give them a crutch or walk
ing stick
And put able men in the lead.
There are able-bodied men walking
around
And the paralyzed men on the job
You are putting good men out on
the field
And making their way too hard.
TO make law to pension old men
At IS years and in distress
Why would keep them on a payroll
When young men are the best.
Ny father had a farm in his life
time
And raised his horses and mules
When his old stock began to play
out
He put them in the pasture as a
rule.
So you have made a law
To pension the old-am | right
So why keep the old men on any
job
Regardless if it's day or night.
Good common sense is law | am
told
read the law and obide by it
Why don't we obey Gods will
Stop working the old and crippled
men
Let the young men fill the bill.
To enforce the law is right
Stop hollering about the black face

Because his face is not white.

No Aid To Race BigOts
The major threat to any school
aid bill appeared likely to come
when the legislation reaches the
Senate floor. Republicans on the
committee have indicated through
out the hearings that they favor an
amendment to prevent Federal
funds from going to school districts
which do not abide by the Supreme
Court decision against racial seq
regation.
Douglas in pointing up the dang
er to school legislation from a seq
regation fight, recalled the 1949
housing bill battle. He said that
many senator's felt then that if an
anti-segregation amendment were
written into the housing bill it
would "throw Southern senator's
into opposition and they'd be join
