of many Negro soldiers"
In the Korean War, where Ne
groes praised solely in terms Of the
92nd Negroes served in integrated
squads, the report said "the over
all evidence is clear, when given
a chance to fight as member Of
balanced unit with competent
leadership, the Negro performed
satisfactorily"
Concerning education, the study
says:
"Since the Negro goes to school
for fewer years than do whites,
he receives far less preparation
for life and work. What school
ing he does receive is of inferior
quality and therefore has less
value than the schooling received
by whites"
Significant Improvement in Ne
gro education, the book says, twill
probably have to wait for prog
ress in Indignation. This was sure
" a major concern of the Supreme
Court when it handed down its
epoch-making decision to end seq
regation in public education"
On the subject of federal anti
discrimination legislation, the study
said:
southern members of Congress
may be able to defeat legislation
favored by the majority people
. solely on grounds Of their i'm
pact on segregation. Such action
can lead to no more than useless
conflict and delay"
"Only when Negro and white
families can live together as
neighbors, when Negro. children
and white children can play togeth-
er, study together, go to the same
church - only then will the Ne
gro grow up properly prepared for
his place in the world of work."
The project is described as a
cooperative in research involving
Columbia University and other
groups supported by contributions
from a number of major business
and industrial firms.

that it is in fact increasing racial
friction.
One feature worthy Of examina-
ton is the comparative apathy of
the colored people in protesting
their case. Although several thou
sands have in fact been involved in
the protests and boycott, their ef-
forts have on the whole made no
appreciable inroads on the many
thousands who use the BUSES daily,
although Alec La Guma, SACPO
president, says the boycott is stead
lily snowballing.
Some of the government critics
like Alex Heppie, parliamentary
leader of the small but militant
Labor Party, say that this SEEM
ing unconcern is in fact an "indi-
cation of the effects of government
pressure and intimidation"
Mr.. Hepple says: "The actions
of the government have frightened
many of their leaders into silence,
especially those employed by the
state and provincial authorities
and big business houses"
And indeed, it is noticeable that
many colored persons canvassed by
reporters for their political views
are disinclined to talk for fear OF
government reprisals.
The sort of act which increases
non-white concern along these
channels is publication of two new
government bills before Parlia-
ment, one of which empowers any
urban authority to Danish without
trial any African whose presence
is considered to be detrimental
to the maintenance of peace and
ORDER" while the other bars A.
ricans from applying for court in
terdicts to suspend any orders for
their election or removal, pending
examination of such orders.
The government already pos
sesses widespread powers to re-
strict the movement, freedom, and
political activities Of non-whites.
And additionally, Interior Min
lister Theophilus E. Donges is in
PRODUCING immigration Act amend
ments empowering him to deport
aliens and, with certain reserva-

The key to much Of this legis-
lation appears to depend on the
manner in which it is implement
ed, but many observers feel it rea-
sonable to assume that while such
legislation is on the statute book
it is interpreted by non-whites as
an intimidating factor.
In the meantime, the consider
able effect which the Montgomery
boycott is having in Cape Town
appears once again to underlie the

may at any time sit in seats used
by non-whites. Non-whites can be
prosecuted for using white seats,
while whites can use any seat with
out penalty.
The Government view is that
bus segregation is an extension of
the overall apartheid, or segrega-
ton policy and that it will re-
move friction between the races.

than 500 years. It has also been

National Transport Commission,
the supreme body governing trans
portation, has ruled that Cape
Town must no longer stand as an
exception and that seating on its
buses must be segregated. Seq
regation is first being applied on
certain mainly white bus routes
where few colored passengers
travel.
This Is held to be one of the rea-
sons why the boycott has not raj
lied more support. But it is gen.
orally expected that once initial
opposition dies down, the Trans
port Commission will extend seq
regation to other routes.
Before making its decision, the
Transport Commission had heard
a deputation from the Cape Town
City Council, headed by the Mayor,
protest against proposed segrega-
ton. This protest it overruled.
The City Council has been backed
in its views by a variety of or
CARNATIONS and anti-government
parliamentarians. Several thou
sands of persons attended protest
meetings launching the boycott by
the South African Colored Peoples
Organization, a leftist body sup
ported, in turn, by the African
and Indian National Congresses
and the Congress of the nom

Main criticism of the new style
segregation is that it does not pro-

served for white exclusively, while
the remainder are open to "all

whites may not occupy seats re-

Wheat Regulations
Changed By ASC

Acreage determinations for the 1857
wheat crop will be made in whole
acres and tenths of acres instead of
dropping fractions of acres as had
been the custom for several years,
Walter E. Sollars, Chairman of the
Ohio Agricultural Sterilization and
Conservation committee announced
this week.
AS a result of this change, pro-
ducers who harvest as much as one
tenth (0.D acres in excess of their
wheat allotment will be ineligible tc
receive marketing cards under the
marketing quota provisions of price
support laws.
The memorandum which advised
the State Committee of this change
also stated that the revised regula
tions will be applicable to other 1885,

are required, Mr.. Sollars said.

He always appeared to have an
abundance of money, which he had
hidden in out of the way places.
Varnica avoided all comapny and was
as afraid of women as a small boy
is of a nest of hornets. Few persons
ever went near his cave and those
were not welcomed.
The German hermit died in 1910
and a search then revealed little
money in the cave or the vicinity
around it. Some time later will was
found which bequeathed his land and
few hundred dollars to James Will
son, at whose home he had lived dur
ing his fatal illness and where he had
died.

where more money could be found.
The hermit had hidden $1,000 in gold
in a hole drilled in one of the posts
holding up his cave roof and had
plugged the hole with peg of the
same wood Wilson was named
executor of the will. With such hatred
for women it was strange that the
German had left his money to them.
The other recluse was man named
Wadsworth. He was believed to have
been graduated from Yale College
and apparently educated for the
ministry. He never smiled and talked
little to anyone.
Wadsworth lived in cave on his
land and though bent almost double
from some unknown cause, was a
man of enormous strength. He carried
the melons and potatoes he raised in
sack on his back and peddled them
house to house in the nearest villages.
