The Greater Danger After Suez
That is within their power.

TnaL Is WlLnln Lnelr power.
For Egypt, the exercise Of
such sanctions can spell eco
nomic ruin. But what will be
the result? viii it bring Pres
ident Nasser to Canossa? Or
will it drive him and the Arab
states irretrievably into the
arms of the Communist bloc?
The West, with its pride of
material power, fails to realize
the power of resistance of the
backward and poor. Advanced
economies are the most vul-
nerable. If the standard of
living falls in Western Europe.
or the United States, internal
social and political crises will
result.
But peoples who have lived
for centuries between today's
life and tomorrow's death,
have a dreadful nourishment
Of material resignation and
xenophobic hate. The Egyptian
fellah, perpetually under
nourished and usually dis
eased: the Bedouin herding his
fiocks with the seasons, win
live as he always has. regard
less Of Suez Canal tolls. Five
times a day he will kneel fac
ing the East and declare that
his fate is in the hands Of
Allah alone.
But the young intelligentsia
are not resigned. They have
sweetened their bitter coffee
with hope. Frustrated of it
from the West their eyes will
search the Eastern skies for
another star--a star red as
Antares.

Magic through the ages. with
all its hocus-pocus and trickery
through its heydays and
periods of disrepute--is the sub
lject of an exhibition which
opened yesterday in the Library

The history and fortunes of
the art of fooling people are

lorabilia Of the flamboyant age
Iof Houdini.
The exhibit was assembled by
DR.. Morris N. Young, a New York
City ophthalmologist. whose in
Iterest in the field dates to "the
first time my father showed me
ia card trick" as small boy. It
lis made up largely of two library
collections, the John j. and
Hanna McManus and Morris N.
and Chesley v. Young library,
and the collection of Harry Hou-
DIM, given to the library in 1927.
Included in the collection is a
display of magic apparatus used
by Johann HOfZinSer. famous
10Th century Austrian magician,
who specialized in card tricks,
and a scrapbook of Houdini's
mementoes, including a postcard

Liberian Secretary
OF State Lauds
Methodist

One of the highlights of the re-
cent central Jurisdictional Confer
ence included remarks by Momolu
Dukuly, secretary of state, The Re-
public of Liberia.
Emphasizing the continuation of
the great work being done by the
Methodist Church in the areas of
religion, education and health, Mr..
Dukuly explained that much of his
guidance and Christian training
came through his association with
the Methodist Missions in Liberia.
He further pointed out that the
contributions of the Methodist
Church have been many since its
work began in Liberia in 1884 just
10 years after the landing of the
pioneer fathers on the little West
African country shore. He COM
pared the founding of Liberia with
that of the United States as "pio-
neers who were religiously-minded
and named the first city establish
ed Christopholis (City of Christi
and later rechristened it Monrovia
in honor of President James Mon
roe"

of the work done by Bishop Willis

Closer Cooperation
OF Negroes And

Closer cooperation and under

sity president, DR.. Charles Leander
Hill.
The statement was made last
week during centennial commence
ment exercises as the degree of
Doctor of Laws (LL.D.) was con-
ferred upon Rabbi Abba Hillel
Silver. widely known Zionist
spokesman and Dean of American
Rabbis. Rabbi Silver was honored
as a leader in inter-faith move
ments.
Celebrating, DR.. Hill expressed
the hope that some organized eff
fort would be made to widen knowl-
edge among Negroes of Hebrew
culture. He revealed that plans
were already under consideration
for adding courses of Hebrew cul-
ture in the famed Negro institu-
tons curriculum.

discrimination in housing and en-
ployment would vanish" DR.. Hill

Integration Suit
May Close Georgia
Law School

ATLANTA, Ca, July "A new
suit filed here last week by Negro
student Horace T. Ward may lead
to the closing of the Law School
of the University of Georgia.
Horace Ward, 81, who originally
filed suit back in 1850 to gain ad-
mission to the all-white university
in Athens, asked the district fed
eral court to have his case brought
to trial on July 80.
The Ward case, which Atty. Gen
Eugene Cook has said could lead
to closing of the law school, was
stymied on legal technicalities un-
til Ward entered the Army.
1t was reopened last year when
he again asked to be admitted to
the school.
U. S. District Judge Frank
Hooper ordered the state to show
cause on July 6 why the case
should not be tried on its merits or
July 80.
When Ward renewed his request
last year, Cook said at that time
that the case could result in clos
ing the school. He based his state
ment on the Georgia law which
provides that funds must immedi-
ately be cut off from any schoo
admitting white and Negro stu
dents to the same classes.
