Reports Say Civil Liberties Of Both
Proponents And Opponents Of
IntegratiOn Must Be Protected

New York, Mar. 18.-(Special)
The decisions of the federal
courts and executive agencies and
the growing force of public opin-
ion" played strong part in civil
rights progress last year, the
American Civil Liberties Union de-
clares in its 36th annual report.
The report, published last week,
is entitled Liberty Is Always Un-

public opinion as a factor which
expressed itself in the 1866 elec-
tions and suggests this opinion
might press through a minimum
civil rights program in the Con-
gress in 1857.
"While the effort in the new
Congress-" the report declares, "to
end the filibuster blockade by a.
dopting new rules of debate was
defeated, the increased number of
Senators who supported the reso-
luton rnd Vice President Nixon's
doubts as to the constitutionality
of the present rules offer real en-
couragement for a future change.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Mar,
18.--Dr. Ralph Johnson Bunche,
the highest ranking American N
the United Nations Secretariat, is
a stolid, chain-smoking expert on
race relations and peacemaking.
DR.. Bunche, an Under Secretary
General, learned about both sub
jects through experience and hard
knocks, as we'll as from books. All
his life he has combined scholar
ship with action. He started to
learn about race relations as a
child. The grandson of a Negro
slave, he grew up in the Negro Sec
tions Of Detroit, Toledo, Ohio, AL
buquerque, N. M. and Los Angeles.
He went on to study his subject
as a Carnegie Corporation re-
searcher, chased more than once
out of angry Southerns towns; as
a graduate student in Africa, chug-
ging in a battered car from one
primitive village to the next, and
as a high-ranking diplomat in his
nations capital, yet excluded from
the best Washington restaurants
and threatres.
Making peace, particularly be-
