preston of personal opinion or
sharing of any confidence.
Mr.. Roosevelt's remarks about
American commitments in Eu-
rope came in the midst of dis
cussion on February S. 1945,
on German policy and the role
France should play in it.
2-Year Limit on q. S. Troops.
Mr.. Churchill argued that
France should play an important
role. According to notes made
by United States Diplomat
Charles E. Bohlen, Mr.. Churchill
went on to say "it was prob
lematical how long the United
States forces would be able to
stay in Europe"
"The President replied" the
Bohlen notes continued, "that
he did not believe that Ameri-
! can troops would stay in Europe
much more than two years."
Ten years after. the United
States has the equivalent of six
divisions on the continent, air
forces on the continent and in
England, and naval forces con-
stantly operating in European
waters.
In relation to the Far East,
Mr.. Roosevelt told Mr.. Stain in
a private discussion that he
thought it might take the people
of Korea 20 or 80 years to pre-
pare for self government under
a Soviet-American Chinese trus-
teeship. Mr.. Stain wanted to
know whether "any foreign
troops would be stationed in Ko-
rea."
According to Mr.. Bohlen's
notes. "the President replied In
the negative. to which Marshal
Stain expressed approval"
The plans for a trusteeship did
not work out. Soviet and Amer
lean troops divided Korea be-
tween them.
Refused Oil Concessions.
When Mr.. Stain demanded oil
concessions in Iran. Mr.. Roose-
velt and Mr.. Churchill refused,
holding Russia to a Big 8 pledge
of December 1943 to respect the
independence, sovereignty and
territorial integrity of Iran.
On the use of the veto by big
powers in the United Nations,
Mr.. Stain argued for an unlim-
tied veto-with the big nations
having yes-or-no power over any
and all questions before the U. N.
Mr.. Roosevelt strongly opposed
big power veto except on sub
stantive questions-that is, vital
questions affecting peace and
security-and not on procedural
matters like what issues to de-
bate next.
Mr.. Churchill wavered, even
tually siding with Mr.. Roosevelt.
The concessions that Russia
won at Yalta are better known.
Marshall Urged Red Action
Chief of these was the price
for entering the war against
Japan = the Kurile islands,
South Sakhalin and the Ports of
Dairen and Port Arthur together
with joint Russo Chinese opera
ton of the two Manchurian rail-
roads serving these ports.
One of the factors in Mr..
Roosevelt's willingness to pay
the price was a statement from
Gen. George C. Marshall, Army
Chief of Staff. Dated January
8, 1945. it went to the President
through the Joint Chiefs of
Staff and said: s
"Russia's entry (into the Pa
ciflc war; at as early date as
possible consistent with her ,abil-
ity to engage in offensive opera

Principal Says
Negro Students
Seqreqote Selves

Miss Caroline Barron, principal
at Central high school in Mime
apolis, said in a speech before the
st. Louis Park Council on HUI
man relations Monday night, I'VE
must come to know people better
If we are to bring about better
human relations"
The high school principal said
in reference to the good that
school teachers can do, "a great
deal depends on the individual
teacher" She pointed out that a
teachers as well as any one else,
may fill out a QUESTIONABLE on
his attitudes regarding prejudice
in the positive merely to get a
high score, yet have hidden pre-
JUDGES which may come out in
later performances. She said she
had some experiences along that
line.
AS for better programs for high
school students, the speaker said
some improvements have been
made recently.
Miss Barron went into the much
discussed self-segregation on the
part Of Negro students. She said
while some Negro students feel
free to mingle and associate with
white students a majority Of Ne
gro student were guilty Of group
ing together in the school cafe
terra, halls and corridors. ''Educa-
tors from the south here recently
to survey our system took ad-
vantage Of the circumstance"
She also said she had been told
by some Negro students that col
ored students who associated with
white students were ostracized.
Members of the council ques-
toned Miss Barron about the ad-
visibility of getting more Negroes
in the public school system. She
replied by stating that she knew
of no qualified applicant who has
been rejected in recent years be-
cause Of color.

st. Louis Park Council.

Washington, ID. G. ~ Senator
Hubert II. Humphrey 3D.. Mimi

In letters TO the Secretary Of
the Navy and the Secretary of
State, Senator Humphrey called
attention TO the scheduled dock

that m result Segregated psxsss

ITO me this is shocking ex-

should not be tolerated by our
government. Every American
soldier or sailor wearing the uni
form Of the United States military
service Is an American regardless
of race, color. or creed. and In en-
titled TO be respected and treated
as such anywhere In the world.
I'VE can not submit to other

pennsylvania by attorneys for
NAACP Legal Defense in behalf
of six Negro veterans who were
denied the right to buy homes in
the new Bucks County, Pa, COM
munity developed by Levitt.
The legal action seeks an in
junction restraining the firm Of
Levitt e. Sons. Inc. from dis
eliminating against Negroes in
the sale of homes in the Pennsyl-
vania community as long as he
uses the credit. guarantee, insur-
ance, approval and assistance Of
the Federal Government.
Levitt, throughout the years,
has consistently refused TO sell TO
Negro families in any Of his pro-
jects. He has resisted pressure
from every source and once indi-
Gated that he would never allow n
Negro to buy a home In the newly
developed Bucks County COM
munity.
Three Of the Negro veterans
In whose behalf the suit IL
brought tried 10 purchase homes
In the Levitt's Bucks County de-
velopment a. early as 1851 when
he opened his first model home
and the others as late as June
Of 1854.
When the Levitt's Bucks Coun-
ty community Is completed, IL win
consist OF 10000 small homes
which win be sold TO individual
purchasers. The mortgages on
these homes are either insured by
the FILA or guaranteed by the
Veterans Administration.
The suit against Levitt also
seeks an injunction restraining
Levitt from refusing 10 sell to Ne
groes on the ground that Levitt
town, Pa. Is. In reality, a town
and Levitts policy Of barring a
person because OF race or color
Is violation Of the Fourteenth
Amendment and the statutes Of
the Commonwealth OF Pennsyl-
vania.
In the complaint, the attorneys
state further that since Levitt has
a monopoly on all new construction
in Levittown, he IL serving the
public in the same manner as a
public utility and should not be
allowed TO continue his anti-Ne-
gro policy and practices.
Filed at the same time and
with the complaint against
Levitt, IL another suit which
asks the court 20 restrain the
agents Of FLA mortgage In

Dc treated alike.
The Navy refused to cancel the
Cape Town visit and an
bounced that American Negro
sailors would be allowed only to
vat and drink in South African
,afes and taverns reserved for the
'coloured" population.
Typical of tho comment in the
East was the editorial in the
N. Y. TIMES OF Monday
ian, II, which said:
The Midway At Cape Town
The rule that American per-
sonnet OF tho armed services
shall conform to the laws OF
the country In which they hap
pen to be stationed or which
they visit may be sound enough
In principle. But there are ex-
ceptions. The visit OF the Unit
ed states carrier Midway to
Cape Town is one OF them. In
this case, someone has slipped
and in our judgement slipped
badly. Either South Africa
should have agreed 10 waive its
segregation practices In respect
to the American sailors or the
Midway should have been kept
out OF Cape Town.
In the Midway's crew there
are some 400 American Me-
groes. Filipinos and Americans
of Japanese descent. Under
South African law they may
not enter white" restaurants,
hotels or bars while ashore. We
believe that this law is an af-
front to human decency and
that ita enforcement agains,
our sailors in Cape Town is an
affront TO the United States
Navy The Navy seems TO have
taken II lying down. and that Il
not in Navy tradition.
Furthermore, we are convinc.
ed that II the other crew mem
bers OF the Midway had beer
allowed to express themselves
they would have gladly for
feited their own shore-lcave
privilege rather than see this
insult TO their comrades In
arms. II the Midway actually
had TO put into Cape Town
and the Navy says II did the
men could have stayed aboard
ship. and we think they would
have been glad TO do no on NOR
al grounds.
We realize that South Afri-
cas- race problem Is n complex
one. We have depiored the "a
partheid" policy but do not pre-
sumo TO dictate and try to
solve domestic problems. But
we are also trying TO solve a
segregation problem and have
made a most significant adj
vance In the armed services.
There is no reason why we
should sacrifice that advance,
