it. At most, he dared to challenge within his
craft And concerning him, these facts are i'm
portant:
/. He did not continue to write; he was
silenced.
2. He did not continue to live; he was cruelty
tortured and he was put to death.
8. He did not continue to fight for his in
alienable privilege of writing he pleased" The
privilege was alien to him; "he pleased" was
philosophicaly unknown to him, and when he
tried to discover and embrace this unknown, his
rulers rewarded him with death for the misfor-
tune of plying his trade.
The simple practice of literature is always
dangerous to tyranny Yet for number of
social and historical reasons, few tyrants murder
their writer's
One of these reasons is that the circumstances
of tyranny usually prevent the tyrant from claim
ing total righteousness another reason is that
tyranny is rarely complete; still another the rela-
tionshp of the tyrant to world opinion, and again,
and far from least important, the ever developing
forces and traditions of civilization, which has
always looked with sour eye upon the persecu-
ton and murder of writer's.
Russia provided the world with new situa-
ton, the consolidation of power Within
nation that literally has no functioning govern
ment as we know government but merely frame
work of administration which the Communist
Party controls with an absoluteness unmatched
by any tyranny in all of human history.
The result of this situation is sharply reflected
in modern Soviet literature. The writer is
not only emasculated as an artist but turned, by
the very nature of his trade, into an incipient
enemy of the party.
An in this, the party was right state it
out of my whole life experience, observation and
conclusion-that as the Communist Party now
exists every writer, no matter how dedicated and
loyal he may appear, is potentially the enemy and
destroyer of the party, moved by enormous forces
which he can resist only to the destruction of
himself as writer of any worth at all.

REVIEW OF THE WEEK
Spotlight on Policy

".... Decided only to be undecided.
resolved to be irresoIute, odomont tor
DRIFT. solid for fluidity. oil powerful to
be impotent."
Thus did Winston Churchill de-
scribe the fiounderings of the free
world of 1886 while relationships
black clouds gathered on the hori-
zon.
The parallels between that time
and this are limited, to be sure.
The nom Communist nations Of
today are not so irresolute, so
drifting. or so impotent as the
pre-World War II democratic
world Sir Winston was trying to
awake. But the confusion of
means and disorganization of
method evidenced by the Western
block since the advent of Russia's
Sputnik could not help but recall
his words.
The United States, cast involun-
tarily in the unenviable role of
chief protector to the free world,
was facing last week the grim
challenge Of confident communism
the conqueror by coup, sword,
subverSion or complacency of one
third of the world. The imme-
date challenge: To reorganize, re-
fashion and reinforce the bastions
of the free worlds defenses, poll
teal. economic and military. The
odds: Growing poorer, as Moscow
moved toward a gathering of
Communist resources in a ma
jor campaign against capital
ism and Imperialism" and the re-
atty of Soviet achievements in
science and technology took clear
er shape.
Against a Communist system
that responds instantly to the
orders of a little group of leaders
at the top. the United States faced
the job of somehow adjusting its
policies to the new situation, then
promoting united front of the
nom Communist world - and all
within the time-consuming frame
work of the democratic process.
AS a result of this unenviable
duty, foreign policy, particularly
American policies toward the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
ton, was prime subject in WASH
ington last week. Secretary Of
State John Foster Dulles conferred
at length with French Foreign
Minister Christian Pineau. and
managed also to usher Adlai E.
Stevenson, twice Democratic nom
inee for President, into an Office
at the State Department. Mr.. Ste
venson will help as a consultant
in the planning for next months
NATO Council session in Paris.
But there were as yet no indi-
cations that any aspect Of basic
American foreign policy had been
materially altered, although few
doubted that significant changes
would be made sooner or later.
For the present at least. Mr..
Dulles, Defense Secretary Neil
McElroy, and military leaders
were still dealing from strength"
in their public announcements.

dom'S name, and in excessive and
undue use of it.
In democracy, freedom must
be held as gently as it must be
loved dearly and guarded vigi-
lantly. 1t must be cherished low
ingly, understood, and worked
for every day. One of freedoms
most phculiar characteristics is
the fact that if we hold freedom
dearly only for ourselves, we lose
it. If we strive to make freedom
a reality for all men and women,
We can achieve it not only for
them, but also for ourselves.
In the NAACP, one legal battle
won, one court suit decided in our
favor does not tell the whole
freedom story. The complete pic
ture of freedom takes in much
more than school desegregation, of
a golf suit won, or the abolish
ing of discrimination in housing.
It means a complete end to seq
re1ation, bigotry and prejudice,
and acceptance of all citizens into
thu American family.
/ sincerely believe that most
Americans truly want freedom for
themselves and also for the rest
of their fellow Americans. How
ever, I am not overlooking the fact
that some people - both Negro
and White for their own self
ish reasons, prefer things as they
are. To make freedom a living

reality for all, would disturb their
accustomed way of Life. These
Oeople use devious and varied
means to maintain their way of
living.
Some use violence, some
threaten and intimidate, and
some pretend cooperation and
seeming agreement, to the face,
but are ruthless in their methods,
behind the back to maintain the
status quo.
In the future, there will be no
place for these psople, until they
can understand the true and full
meaning of freedom. Perhaps all
of us, also, will have to learn that
lesson again. The past holds the
tragedy of discrimination, slavery
and segregation. This we must
try to forgive and gorget. But for
tunately, the future lies before us,
and we can learn to live together
as fellow Americans, regardless
of race, color or creed.

Three Louisiana COLLEGES
Ordered to Admit NEGROES
NEW ORLEANS - (ANP)

NEW ORLEANS - (ANP) -
Desegregation forces won another
victory Monday, when Federal
judges issued new orders direct
ing three Louisiana colleges to
admit Negro students without
eligibility certificates required
by State law passed in 1856.
That Jim Crow legislation was
tWo-headed monster. One law
requires white and Negro students
to produce certificates of "eligi-
bility and goood moral character"
from high school officials in order
to register for each new term.
The other law permits the
firing Of any school official sign
ing such certificates for Negroes
entering white colleges, on
grounds they would he advocat-
ing indignation.
Atty. A. P. Tureaud, former
chief counsel in Louisiana for the
NAACP, said the Federal judges
order affects the following:
1.-The State Board of Educa-
ton, which superviSes eight State
colleges.
2-Southwestern Louisiana In
stitute, Lafayette.
3-Southeastern Louisiana COL
lege, Hammond.
4-McNeese State College, Lake
Charles.

JOIN THE NAACP,

Att. Tureaud also said the
State board and the three white"
colleges were ordered to show
cause in a Feb. 6 hearing why the
injunctions should not be made
permanent.
At previous hearings it was
commended that the 1856 laws vio-
lated the equal protection clause
Of the Federal Constitution. On
Jan. II, Atty. Tureaud obtained
a court directive which prevents
Louisiana State university from
denying a admission to Negro
graduate students without eligi-
bility certificates.

Along Freedoms Road
NEWS OF THE NAACP
BY RUTH PERRY

A major part of the labor pro-
gram of the NAACP during 1856
''Was devoted to eliminating the
restrictions which prevent the adj
mission of Negro workers to APP
premiership training program and
other forms of training" Herbert
Hill, the associations labor secre-
tary, asserted sometime ago.
This has become necessary, Mr..
Hill said, because the quality and
quantity of vocational and techni-
cal training is basic element in
fundamentally changing the Ne
gro's economic status" now
threatened by increasing automa-
ton which twill result in h e
wholesale displacement of Ne
groeS currently employed in I'm
skilled jobs"
In pursuit of this goal, the
NAACP labor secretary reported
that conferences were held with
state industrial commissions and
the Bureau of Apprenticeship Of
the U. S. Bureau of Labor and
programs were developed with
municipal and state fair employ
ment practices commissions to in
woke the authority of these agen-
cies against discriminatory ap-
premiership training programs.
Progress is being made also in
breaking down racial barriers in
the old refining industry, domes-
tic service employment agencies,
and the building and construction
trades.
A new step in NlAACP anti
discrimination work in housing
during 1856 was described in
New York recently by the asac-
iation's housing expert as that of
opposing the continued expan-
sion" of public housing projects
in ALREADY existing Negro areas" "
Madison S. Jone2, NAACP
special assistant for housing, re-
ported that the purpose of such
opposition was to assure the selec-
ton of proper sites for future
housing, which would lend them
selves to real Indignation" HE
said racial discrimination still ex-
lists in the public housing projects
of many communities, and that
the greatest amount of this time
during 1856 was devoted tc
countering bias in programs Of
urban renewal, slum clearance
and urban redevelopment.
These days all of us are keen
ly aware of freedom as a word
a symbol, or as dreamed-of re-
atty. In the NAACP, one Of ou1
most quoted slogans is: Free by
'63". In the sense that the NAACF
uses this word, l believe il
means the belief that legal segre-
cation in all form will be elimi-
mated by 1868, and that grea
strides will have bsen made to-
ward indignation of the Negro
into American society.
The word freedom, however
carries with it almost as much
danger as it Symbolizes' the
American dream. The danger lies
in its aIbuae, expedient and dis
honorable practices done in. free

Urban Renewal Aid
Urged on Citizens

Citizen help in fighting blight
In Washington by participation
In urban renewal projects was
urged yesterday by Lit. Col.
Robert E. Mathe, Assistant Engi-
neer Commissioner.
I'VE need active participation
by all citizen groups" Col. Mathe
told the Dupont Circle Citizens
Association in the Mayfiower
Hotel. Every association ought
to have an urban renewal COM
mittee. because every area in the
District is affected by urban re-
newal programs.
Col. Mathe urged the associa-
ton to think Of urban renewal
as something good for people. !"
not something that is trouble
some or harmful to their in
terests.
Col. Mathe urged participation
by the association in the Adams
Morgan Better Neighborhood
Conference. a demonstration
project to uplift the area
bounded by Irving street, Florida
and Connecticut avenues and
Rock Greek Park.
