of the move will be challenged,
but it may take years before all
recourses TO law are exhausted.
The only hope of avoiding a
lengthy legal battle lies in the
possibility that Virginia will be
challenged on grounds that the
state is not making a reasonable
attempt to comply with the segre-
cation ruling.
If such could be proved, the
Supreme Court might order i'm
mediate integration In Virginia
schools.
The many strategems employed
by state officials who have vowed
not to integrate their schools are
obviously only delaying tactics.
There is little possibility that any
of them will stand in court.

should not be strange that u
Of one minority should
speak for another, even though
the common ways of life and
of sharing in the com
mon destiny and ideals Of the
may differ.
There is common bond
which unites all Americans in
the support of the nations

basic sympathy and concern
that can be felt with very acute
sensitivcness for any group in
our national life that has, for
any reason, failed TO share in
the blessings of our bounty and
philosophy.
II is fact OF Importance that
the American public Is gradually
becoming aware OF n vast human
tragedy in the nations paralyZing
dilemma about the Indian popula-
tion. The state OF Minnesota has
been one OF the first to acknow-
ledge and accept responsibility for
dealing with this problem, by as
suming some measure OF state and
local responsibility, This is a
flicker OF light, which only serves
10 illuminate a broader and deep
er complex that has become a
critical challenge, both to our
wisdom and our integrity as n
nation.
No one believes that our nation
al policy has been by design one
OF careless perfidy and inconstan-
cy, as part OF the historical re-
cords suggest But II cannot be
denied that IL has been one OF
vacillation and constant rever-
sal. that has created more be-
wilderment than confidence. There
was a time years ago, when in our
headlong westward expansion,
ruthless forces took command and
did not hesitate TO contemplate
even extinctions, and almost sue

genocide, And II would be no diff
ferent from the attempts in other
parts Of the world TO do the very
same thing, which we can now so
fundamentally condemn. This was
a period in our history that IL is
more comfortable, and for our
own self-csteem as nation, more
merciful TO forget.

The national Executive Board
OF the Religious Town Hall was
changed from five directors to
eight to meet the enlarged pur-
pose of this national educational
crusade to preserve our republic,
to safeguard civil and religious
freedoms of all regardless of color
or creed, and for the betterment Of
all religious racial and civil rela-
tions, so America under God may
be united and strong in this pre-
sent world crisis" reported Bishop
A. a. Leiske, chairman and mod
orator of the Religious Town Hall
The Religious Town Hall was
not organized just as another tele-
vision program, but rather 20 pro-
mote a national educational pro-
gram TO bring about better un-
derstanding among all peoples,
races and creeds and to preserve
our American way Of life or de-
mocracy.
I'VE have felt for some time
that the colored people. the mil
lions of American Jewish citi.
zens and lnymen should have
more of voice in directing this
great educational crusade"
continued Bishop LeisIe, That
Is why these three directors
were specially selected. In "A few
weeks from now we intend TO
select another director to com
plete our Executive Board pro-
vided by the Bylaws Of the
corporation"
The American Religious Town
Hall Meeting, Inc, was organized
in December of 1852 and started
to televise its educational program
over one local station. Little did
we realize that in two years we
would begin a national program,
but today the American Religious
Town Hall appears on some II
stations.
This last year S45,95540 was
received from all sources and OF
this amount S10,580.OO was re-
ceiyed In one dollar bills from
all over the nation.
"Our budget for 1855 was set
at $55, 10000" reported Bishop
Leiske. This might not seem very
much money for a national educa-
tional telecast, but IL is providen-
tial when you think that this or
ganization is joined in this crusade
by the television stations in donat-
ing one and half million dollars
worth Of free time"
We are grateful TO the news

tional program 70 safeguard the

Mr.. Umayam went on to say
that Philippine deposits of man
ganese and chromite, important
raw materials in the manufacture
of steel, would be sufficient to sup
ply all of Asia.

factories, the Philippines could

shipped from the Philippines to
Japan, and there it's made into

Yes" Mr.. Unayam continued,
I'VE must have industry in the
Philippines. And ecause there
isn't enough capital in the Philip
pines itself to back industrializa-
ton, it must come from America. i"
Mr.. Umayam said that accord
ing to an agreement, Incorporated
into the Constitution of the Philip
pines, only Filipinos and Americans
can establish new business and in

he protects the Filipinos of the
