Relief Act
Dies Dec. 81;
House Fails

WASHINGTON - .NC) - The
Refugee Relief Program now is
doomed to die next Dec. 81.
The Senate made q lasf.nin.
ute attempt TO ease fhe' plight
Of some 10000 refugees and
escapes who fled from com.
nvnist tyranny behind the Iron
Curtain TO wrong" countries,
bot the House failed TO act on
the measure and Congress sd.
iourned.
Also killed by the adjourn
ment was compromise measure
worked out by Senate leaders
which would have eased current
restrictions of the omnibus i'm
migration law. Eleventh hour eff
forts to produce an agreement
with House leaders failed and the
measure also died with the 84th
Congress.
The 1853 Refugee Relief Act,
enabling some 100000 refugees
to enter this country, did not
swing into accelerated operation
until more than a year after its
passage.
Thus far under the act, slight
ly more than 100000 refugees
have entered this country. OF this
number, some 10000 were assist
ed in coming here by Catholic Re-
lief Services - National Catholic
Welfare Conference, the world
wide relief agency maintained by
the Bishops of the United States.
Although the law itself will die
on Dec. 81, operations may con-
tinue until April 30, 1857. It was
pointed out, for example, that a
visa issued on the last day of the
law is valid for four months af-
ter issuance.

Sometimes Small Things Change World
Stenographer Posts Ten
Commandments on Subway

NEW YORK-(NCl-An adver'
tisement paid for by a friend"
listing the Ten Commandments
has appeared among the usual
New York subway ads plugging
chewing gum, shaving soap and
the like.
The friend" who paid for the
advertisement is Miss Adelaide

the Angels parish in Brooklyn,
who has been riding the subways
daily to work for 80 years.
A stenographer at the New
York Life Insurance Company,
Miss O'Hara said that the ad was
something she had wanted to do
for number of years. She saved
the $400 necessary to pay for
1900 cards to appear for one
month. Part of the money was 4
bonus given her two years ago
by her employers.

When the ad began appearing
in mid-July, an effort was made
to track down the friend" who
had purchased it. But Miss
0'Mara had sworn her mother
and few close friends to sec

some time.
Miss OMara said that her ac.

We are planning to launch a Mem

So often the membership leaves
the growth Of the local lodge up to
the local president and as a result,
we have not done TOO much. 1t is
going to take all of the members and
local presidents working together
comparatively and tremendously to
put things over. The presidents
cannot do it by themselves and the

Closing Session
Another highlight of the closing
session Of the encampment was an
address by Paul V. Kepner, deputy
administrator OF the Federal Ex-
tension Service, who discussed "Ex-
tension role in family and commun-
ity living" Placing emphasis on
the fact that Extension concerns
itself with more than crops and
livestock, sewing and canning, he
declared, at also concerns itself
with the development of people"
Others who addressed the 100
delegates and Extension leaders
during the seven-day encampment
were: E. Frederick Morrow Of the
White House staff; Dr. Don Paarl-
berg, assistant to the Secretary of
Agriculture; w. A. Cutton, director
of the Georgia Extension Service;
Miss Mamie H. Burroughs, presi-
dent of the National Trade and
Professional School for Girls, here;
Miss Emmie Nelson, field repre-
sentative of the National Commit
tee on Boys and Girls Club Work;
DR.. Lawrence A. Davis, an honoree;
DR.. Flemmie P. Kittrell, dean of
home economics at Howard; P. H.
Stone, camp director; and DR.. Ed
ward w. Alton, national director of
All Club and YMW programs.
The theme which most of the
speakers wove into the fabric of
the program was training for
service and better living" "Train-
ing and service" said DR.. Alton,
"can help any group to solve its
problems"
"Never mind the mountains"
Miss Burroughs urged the dele
gates, "never mind the struggle in
equipping yourselves for larger
service"
Negro Problem
DR.. Davis told the boys and girls
that the Negro problem is largely
economic, "and it can be licked
through the development of skills
and abilities to earn more money
and render larger service" Also
he pointed to the increased use of
technology in agriculture. "Soon
there will be no place on the farm
for the unframed" he declared.
Sightseeing tours, under the d.
rection of Martin G. Bailey, Mary
land district agent, made up an
important feature of the camp. The
rural youngsters visited the White
House, the Capitol, Mount Vernon,

ment of Agriculture's research CEN

Pupil assignment is the back
bone of the program, but the
boards are also given the author
ity,- when faced with dismissing
teachers under continuing con-
tracts or hiring new teachers, to
make their selection, again upon
sociological and psychological fac
tors, as we'll as teaching experience
and educational qualifications.
And for a period of five years
the Governor is grant extraordi-
nary police powers in dealing with
emergencies threatening the peace,
and he also is given authority to
formulate rules and regulations
governing use Of such public facili-
ties as bathing beaches and parks.
A pupil assignment plan has
been adopted in most southern
states as one of several safeguards.
Student assignment, coupled with
state tuition grants for school dis
tricts desiring to set up private
schools in lieu of public schools,
was recommended in Virginia, by
legislative study committee, and
the necessary constitutional amend
ments subsequently were made.
However, whether there is to be
any implementation legislation, or
what form it shall take, is matter
to be decided by a special session
of the Virginia General Assembly
which Gov. Thomas 3. Stanley has
called for Aug. 81.
Along with other presegregation
leaders, largely from the south
side counties with their heavy ra-
ito of Negro population, Governor
Stanley for some time has been
strenuously opposed to the pupil
assignment idea, fearing that it
hastens the day of integrated

private for schools on even a local
option basis. A special session of
the Legislature rejected such 90
cal option" proposal and adhered
strictly to a course advocated by
Gov. Leroy Collins.
Broad Control Granted
This simply grants very broad
authority to the school boards in
assigning pupils. The boards can
assign pupils to schools for which
they consider them best suited on
the basis of intellectual ability and
scholarship, with due considera-
ton also for sociological and psy-
Geological factors.
Such formula for coping with
conditions as they exist in Florida
was drawn up and recommended by
a special legal committee consist
ing mainly of retired judges and
prominent attorneys. 1t obviously
does not satisfy extremists on
either side, but Governor Collins
considers it the wisest course ad-
