On Human Rights

ElgnG years ago CnlS week q
great part of mankind, as
sembled in the United Nations,
expressed their love for free
dom by proclaiming the Uni
versal Declaration of Human
Rights. Since then in many
countries the enjoyment of
human rights has made re-
markable progress. By con-
trast we have also witnessed
ruthless suppression Of the
fundamental rights and free
doms, even in countries where
these principles were part of
national heritage, out of ira
dition established long before
the year Of the Universal Dec
laration. Disrespect for and
suppression of freedoms and
human rights will remain for
ever a terrible indictment of
the age in which we are liv-
ing.
The anniversary Of the Uni
versal Declaration of Human
Rights is stained by blood of
thousands of heroes in Hun
gary, where the. call for res
toration of human rights was
muffled by brutal force of
Russian guns and tanks.
Thousands of men, women
and children are compelled to
leave their country. The con-
tinuous stream of refugees
from Hungary and other
satellite countries is a visible
accusation of Red regimes,
SuppresSing human aspirations
to freedom and clear evidence
Of how unbearable life be-
comes in the climate of en-
Slavement.
Contempt of human rights
in a particular country is not
a matter of merely local con-
Germ. Regimes based on totali-
tartan principles invariably
become threats to their neigh
bors. Respect for funda-
mental human rights and
freedom is indivisible in the
sense that its protracted abb
sence in one place creates
danger for rights of other ma
tons, indeed of all nations.
AS the suppression of human
rights in one part of the world
endangers their enjoyment
everywhere else, the free ma
tons of the world should not
only for purely humanitarian
reasons. but also in the interest
of their own security, strive
for securing them everywhere.
Enjoyment of freedoms and
rights can be secured only in
conditions of real peace, and
not in a state Of oppression
labeled by the Soviet as peace,
a condition which in fact trans
formed the Soviet controlled
countries into a huge cemetery
OF human rights. Peace can
be Safeguarded only if nations
are internally as well as ex-
ternally free. While freedom
and independence are products
Of the right of self-determina-
ton, the key to self-determina-
ton lies in free elections, as
stipulated in the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights.
Let us have prompt convo-
cation Of an international con-
ference to prepare a binding
convention which would i'm
pose upon signatory govern
ments the obligation to respect
and secure the fundamental
rights and freedoms. Other
wise, the declaration will re-
main only a high-sounding
statement Of principles, con-
cealing a fundamental lack Of
concern about the suffering of
those who are prevented from
living according TO these prin-
ciples. Personal freedom, while
a fountain Of happiness. entails
a duty to see that others also
enjoy its blessings.

NEW YORK = New York
City is quietly wooing all
teachers in the South who
have lost their job as integra-
ton moved in. With New York
needing teachers desperately,
the Board Of Education has
made a bid to those commu-
mites where teachers have
been discharged and many
have already accepted.
DR.. William Jansen, Super
intendent of New York
Schools, insisted that the
Board did not make a policy
of seeking teachers because
of their race. But the Board
was looking for competent
teachers and was tapping all
available supply.
With many Colored teachers
here for study at New York
University and Columbia, the
Board has put out its promo
tional material to attract them
this summer. Of course, they
will have to take the same
exams regular applicants take
to get their license.

Retail Food Prices
In Upward Spiral

Average retail prices in Bos-
ton increased 90 percent in
June from the May level, it
was announced today by
Wendell D. Macdonald, Re-
gional Director of the US.
Department of Labor's Bureau
of Labor Statistics. The Re-
tail Food Price Index stood at
1921 (1947-49 1901 in Bos-
ton during June of this year.
Notable in the price increa-
ses, pushing the cost of food
market basket for Boston
families higher during the
month, were price increases
for a variety of meat products
including pork chops, round
steak and bacon. Despite the
fact that meat prices in
creased 3.3 percent above their
May level, they were still 3.9
percent lower than the meat
prices prevailing in Boston q
year ago. Price increases were
also noted for fresh fruits and
vegetables including potatoes,
apples. oranges, fresh toma-
toes and onions.
The Retail Food Price In
dex in Boston is now higher
than at any time during 1855
and 1856 to date. The highest
level of retail food prices ever
experienced in Boston was in
July 1852, when the Retail
Food Price Index of the Bar
eau of Labor Statistics
reached 117.3.

Living With
Your Heart

For the next few weeks,
we're going to talk about
diseases of the heart and
circulation. But, first, a
warning: if you're a Symp-
tom Seeker, better skip it.
Doctors agree that Sylnp-
tom Seekers - otherwise
known as hypochondriacs -
are possessed or such genius
for finding any symptom of
any disease somewhere in
their own systems that they
are better off staying away
from health literature.
The range of symptoms is
wide and tricky in the field
of heart and circulatory di-
seases. It's easy for an over
impresSionable person to
scare himself into an excel
lent facsimile of a heart
attack, even to the point of
collapse. True, the only da-
mage is wear and tear on
the nerves, but the suffering
Is real. -
Medical scientists long
have been interested in the
subject of emotional exper-
fences on the circulation. A
variety of sensations -
seemingly around the heart
= occur in emotional reac-
tions. For instance, the
Clutching unease of fear, and
the heavy feeling in the
chest which comes with sad
ness. And thousands are
unhappily familiar with that
persistant, sticking pain
close to the breast, born of
neurosis. AS yet, neither me-
dicine nor pSychiatry knows
the why" of it, but it is a
powerful example of the
temporary havoc the fright
ened mind can cause in even
a healthy heart.
The most pointlesS activ-
ity imaginable is for a
healthy person who lives
sensibly to waste time wor-
rying about his heart. Know
ledge of your heart is a
weapon; fear is foolishness.

With an outstanding acco-
lade to President Eisenhower
and a legislative tribute to
ep. Adam c. Powell, Jrg on
their vain attempts to aid
passage of school construc-
ton and civil rights bills in
the House of Representatives,
a wide political gap emerges.
The above awards are in
order to demonstrate that ra-
cial strife in the solid South
cannot be curbed when on
lockers on the outside of these
mounting misunderstanding
seem powerless to offer any
comprehensive suggestions to
improve conditions.
Before future hopes are
shattered and the gates Of
furious agitation are perman-
emily closed, this serious pro-
blem has a chance of being
solved. A proposed organi-
zation to preserve memories
of William Monroe Trotter, MS
sister, Maude Trotter Steward
and their father, James Mon
roe Trotter; also scores of
pioneers who made tremen-
douS sacrifices during their
lives for the militant Equal
Rights crusade.
The Scourage of being iden-
titled with the black race, is
yet a problem of great mag
nitude in a nation that deems
Democracy it's greatest asset.
RECORD CONTEXT ERROR
The Bible, Bill of Rights,
Declaration of independence
and Federal Constitution, are
being contradicted by race
haters that Equality for the
Black Race was never a part
in any of the above contexts,
yet all of them sum up in
written words, "All men were
created equal"
The Trotter Equal Rights
Foundation could be made a
channel to crusade for abolish
ment of White Supremacy in
this nation along with other
organizations under strict
eurbS of law and order, also
assure non-violence in the
most effective manner Of self
restraint by future crusaders.
Great dependence in the Fed
eral Governments Judicial
System must be used as an
accredited contact on a basic
plane of first class citizenship
in order not to conflict with
any respective state whose
laws, rules and regulations
are opposed in any manner or
category to desegregation. This
can be Surmounted by await
ing an oyerturn in a "due
process of law" investigation
and judgments of Federal
Courts implemented by the
U. S. Supreme Court.
Tremendous barriers will be
anticipated, mostly in legal
deliberate underhand incur
sions which watchful waiting
must first be considered, and
not to procrastinate in any
instance of lurking dangers
when they arise.
The curtain drop of Mani
festos on the desegregation
stage has been proclaimed.

ing of a contaminated climax

Senator Humphrey
JOE CRONIN, Red Sox Gen
eral Manager has been right
fully ushered into the Base
ball Hall of Fame. BY his
own admission, Cronin owes
much Of his success to many
men who "stood by him" when
his playing days were uncer-
tain and he was far from the
greatest player on the field.
Cronin's Fenway Park thanks
to his benefactors will sound
empty unless he grants the
same opportunities to others.
In a recent statement, Cronin
declared he had no race bias.
FENWAY PARK, over recent
months, has been the scene
of a well received inter-ra-
cial pow WOW conducted by
Public Relations director Joe
McKenney, repr 0 enting the
Red SoX; various colored AM
erican leaders of the Bay
State; and the Boston
Guardian, acting as good
will ambassador for both sides
after leading the original mi
litant crusade, which led to
the signing of the first two
Red SoX farm hands earlier
this year.
THE PRESS, local and ma
t1onal, has commented upon
the argument between Joe
Cronin and this writer as to
racial prejudice existing or
having existed with the Red
Sox, an issue sparked by the
foolish rejection of Jackie
Robinson April 16, 1945, eleven
years ago. In upholding Mr..
Cronin, Bob Holbrook of the
Globe was possibly trying to
smooth rough waters. But in
naming the fullness Of facts,
Sam Lacy of the the Afro
has been a welcome ally in
our corner.
THE FACT that Sam Lacy,
a sportSwriter who helped
crack the baseball color bar,
stated recently he was only
able to get his Florida inter
view with Cronin through a
wire fence may or may not
arouse a Cronin denial. But
the fact that neither Cronin
nor Yawkey has come off
their high horse" 20 confer
with Boston Colored leaders
who have gone to Fenway, can
not be denied even though the
gentlemen of color were every
