Miss

IS campaign chairman. Miss
Horne's message declares:
Our principal concern Is that
those of Americas Negro child
rem. hitherto denied a fair chance
at equal education IN certain
states. shall enjoy their constitu-
tional rights, and shall have the
opportunity to develop themselves
and contribute their best talents
to their country. This will be
one Of the best demonstrations of
what America really means and
can be a powerful weapon for
peace and freedom in the world. !"
The purchase Of NAAcP holiday
seals, Miss Horne points out,
will enable us to carry on the
crusade for first class citizenship
and to meet the adversaries of
freedom with something more than
mere hopes and wishes"

IS 2-Term
Amendment
Desirable?
Mirror of World Opinion

President Eisenhower's misgiY
ing about the constitutional
amendment limiting the President
to two terms probably are shared
BY many persons who have
thought about the problem. This
does not mean that they believe
a President should normally serve
more than two terms or that the
term while he is running for
President Is longing for a third
second. Rather, il indicates
dislike for a rigid prohibition IN
place of the more flexible two
term tradition established BY
Washington and adhered to until
the third election Of President in
1910. Many of those who deplore
the Twenty second Amendment
are equally emphatic in saying
that the two-term tradition should
never have been broken, but Of
course the events Of history can
not be altered by hindsight.
Most Of the complaint about
the amendment stems from a be
lief that 1t will seriously handicap
a President in his second term.
President Eisenhower does not
appear to be greatly concerned
on this point. Aspirants for the
Presidency in the party in power,
he points out, will want the Pres
ident's blessing and his help in
getting the nomination. And for
other reasons his influence in his
own party may remain strong. In
any event, it would be premature
to talk about repeating the Twen-
tyseeond Amendment on this
ground before any President has
had any experience under it.
Another factor must be weigh
ed before any effort is made to
repeal the amendment. Such re-
peal would not, of course. re-
store the two-term tradition. On
the contrary, it might well be in
terpreted as removing all re
straint of any sort upon the re-
turn of a President to the White
House as many times as he eoul4
win the quadrennial election.
This, in our opinion, would be
mort unfortunate. So much
power has been concentrated in
the Presidency that no man should
be permitted to hold it indefinite
ly even with the consent of a ma.
iority Of the people. Except in
the most extraordinary circum-
stances. the short term advantages
Of keeping an experienced man
in the office are outweighed By
the long-term dangers of one-man
government. For these reasons
we surmise that the two-tefm
amendment will remain in the
Constitution (unless it should
work very badly in practiee) un-
til some other means of diseour-
aging third-term candacies has
been devised.

Chamber
Host 70 III
Boys, Girls

Eleven farm boys and girls from
six surrounding counties will
taste city life" this weekend in
Omaha as guests Of Omaha boys
and girls.
The program--a new project of
the Agriculture Committee of the
Omaha Chamber of Commerce

spend three days with their
city hosts.
In Omaha, the rural boys and
girls will meet their hosts first
at a general meeting at the
Chamber Thursday evening. Fri
day. they viii go to school with
the city boy or girl; and that eve
ming, they viii attend school or
youth activities in town. Satur-

fathers places Of business, and
that afternoon, they win tour the
city together.
On Sunday, the farm and city
boys and girls will attend church
together. In the afternoon, the
Omaha host will return their
guests to their farm homes.
DR. Merle E. Belts, chairman
of the sponsoring Chamber Com
mittee. said this is a new oppor-
tunity for farm and city boys and
girls to become better acquainted.
Because Of the inter-depen-
dence between the farm and the
city these days. he said, this 'ex-
change visit will give both farm

Progress

Chicago The annual Negro
progress report, published each
year by EBONY, is featured in the
January issue Of the magazine.
As in the previous years, school
integration was the best yardstick
by which to measure Negro pro-
gress in 1856. Regretably, figures
showed that the classroom de-
segregation, which moved at
gallop in 1855. had slowed to a
trot year later.
In November. 1856, roughly
10000 Negroes were attending
mixed schools in the South. How
ever. a breakdown of the figures
show that fewer than 65,000 Of
these entered mixed schools in
1856. Furthermore, an estimated
2.400. 900 Negroes still are attend

of the civil rights forces by out

On the credit side Of the civil
rights ledger. perhaps the most
dramatic incident on Negro pro-
gress occurred last March when the
San Antonio Texas city council,
unanimously passed an ordinance
forbidding segregation in all
public facilities.
Among other advances recorded
