Jackson College
Sends Out Youth
Conf. Report

Final reports of the various
study groups at the Statewide
Negro Youth Safety Conference
held at Jackson College recently
have been sent to contributors of
the Conference. The report which
was prepared by DR.. Lamar For
tenberry and Miss F. O. Alexander
of the Mississippi State Depart
ment of Education states that:
"Since the Conference was for
youth. Under the direction of an
adult planning group, youth plan
ming group met several weeks prior
to the date of the Conference, made
plans for the program and elected
a general over all chairman"
In the opening session Miss
Yvonne Herring, the general chair
man, introduced three adult speak
ers: President Jacob Reddix of the
host college, Mr.. j. M. Tubb, State
Superintendent of Education, and
Mr.. A. P. Smith, Director of School
Buildings and Transportation.
Each of the adults spoke briefly
following which the delegates who
represented 40 counties of Missis-
sippi were divided into four groups:
Home Safety, Pedestrian Safety,
Bicycle Safety, and Motor Vehicle
Safety. Each group selected its
own chairman before opening a
problem listing session.

Rhodesia Africa
Split On Negro
Right To Vote

Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia,
July S.-The running political al
lance in the Federation of Rho
desia and Nyasaland is split over
the meaning of racial partnersh;"
To Sir Roy Welensky, the form, :
boxer and locomotive engineer who
became Prime Minister of the Fed
Grafton, the term apparently means
sort of Junior partnership for
Negroes in the immediate future.
Garfield Todd, the former mis-
sionary who serves as prime min
lister Of Southern Rhodesia, it
seems to mean full share in gov
eminent for a limited number of
Africans. The Constitution of the
Federation, which is composed of
three British territories of South
ern Rhodesia, Northern Rhodesia
and Nyasaland, enshrines the idea
of racial partnership as its first
principal.
htodkICc
Both Sir Roy and Mr.. Todd
praise this principal But they
have disagreed over it's meaning.
This disagreement has reached the
point where Mr.. Todd is openly
criticizing Sir Roy's proposals.
The rift has caused postponement
of a planned merger of Sir Roy's
Federal party and Mr.. Todd's Unit
ed Rhodesia party.
The three territories contain
100000 whites and G,75O,0OO AZ
ricans. In the last general cleo
ton $50 Africans voted in Rho
desia and IL in Northern Rhodesia.
There is no direct vote for Afri-
cans in Nyasaland, which has $500
whites and 100000 Negroes. Both
Sir Roy and Mr.. Todd agreed that
more Africans should vote. The
difference is that Mr.. Todd wants
to integrate The Negroes into the
white voters poll and Sir Roy
wants a separte Negro poll.
These views, of course, are not
openly stated. But they are i'm
plicate in the franchise proposals.
Would Increase Assembly
The Federal proposal is to in
crease the Federal Assembly from
35 members, including Is for AZ
rican interests.
A special voters poll would be
created, with lower property and

Williams College
Pushes Anti
Bias Policy
Request Fraternities
To Give Written
Assurance On
Selecting Members

Williamton, Mass, July S-Wil-
liams College has moved to elimi-
nate discrimination in elections to
fraternity membership.
BY direction of the Board of
Trustees, James P. Baxter Sd, col
lege president, has sent letters to
the undergraduate heads of the
i fifteen fraternities on the Williams
campus-requesting written assur-
ance, before January Is, 1858, of
each chapters freedom to select
its members on the basis of merit
as individuals.
The Board of Trustees earlier
had approved report and recon-
mendation of a committee of its
body headed by J. B. Angevine of
Boston, that had given special con-
sideration to report by commit
tee of undergraduate appointed by
the college council and headed by
David c. Phillips of Stratford,
Conn.
Principal Proposal
The principal recommendation of
the Phillips committee was that the
trustees should make it clear that
the freedom of action that they had
ruled to be a condition of fraternity
operation on the Williams campus
could not be violated in any man.
ner, whether by written OF un-
written agreement or otherwise.
The Williams Board of Trustees
had made two statements of policy
on discrimination, one in 1916 and
the other, an expansion of the first,
in 1865. The 1855 statement was
In election to fraternities and to
campus offices, the board holds
that each undergraduate should be
accorded whatever recognition he
merits as an individual, according
to his ability, achievement, person.
ality and character, and further
emphasizes it's position that no
fraternities may operate on the
Williams campus whose Williams
chapter is not free to elect ia
membership any individual on the
basis of his merits as a person."
! No Retreat Is Seen
The Williams trustees said that
their previous statements on the
! subject of discrimination had been
clear and rnamti~uous, and that
there would be no retreat from
them.
They reaffirmed their belief that
the social units on the campus
served as useful purpose, ano
that in their own best interests
they should encourage their active
chapters to Judge prospective mem.
bers on their merits as individuals
DR.. Baxter commented "that in a
democratic society it is difficult te
see how college authorities coulc
reach any other conclusion"
He pointed out that the college
welcomes the efforts made by ma.
tional fraternities to improve the
scholastic standing, conduct and

1--WE should study more modern
foreign languages for a closer I'M
derstanding in this one world in
which we live" said Miss Gloria
Braynon, a teacher of modern
languages at Booker T. Washing
ton High School, in an address at
the forum series sponsored by the
King of Clubs Sunday at Mt. Zion
Church.
Using as her subject, zone
World" Miss Braynon explained
that, "the world is a stage, and
God is the author of the dramas
played upon that stage. The
world is pretty much the same,
except for the languages of the
people"
The speaker observed that "the
first idea that foreigners have of
Americans is that whatever
have, can sell it in America and
get 2aid what l want for it."
Speaking from her observations
from travels abroad, Miss Bray
non pointed out that Americans
have succeeded in convincing
,h,mselves that they cannot learn
any language except English"
She quoted from Abraham Flex-
ner, who said that: universities
must give society not what it
wants, but what it needs" in en-
phasiZing the need for a knoWl-
edge of modern foreign langu-
lgeS.
"The trouble with American
students in learning foreign Ian
guageS, is interpretation"
Miss Brayon cited several spe-
cific examples of various express
SONS in French, in explaining the

1t is more than passing strange
that the Negro church is proving
to be the incubator of a fuller
citizenship. One of the most dra-
matte efforts to throw off the
ShackleS, arose in the church and
this proves what someone's said
years ago, that the Negro church
was the only place where Negro
leaders could find standing room
The most radical and the most
summary attempt at self liberia
ton has come out Of the Negro
church which has often been
criticised, gainsaid and maligned
by thoughtless Negro leaders.
Cultivate violence, while dan
gerous and deplorable, cannot be
compared with spontaneous vio-
lence. And herein lies great hope
that tomorrow will be a brighter
day.

WHAT PRICE John DOE"

It is no crime to be poor and
just ordinary, but you'll have to
admit that it is a substantial in
convenience. The small or poor
man always comes W. on the
short end Of the ledger. Such is
his eternal fate, and l, for one,
often wonder will the lot OF the
small man ever really improve.
A good lesson in just how much
of a handicap it is TO be small
and poor, can be learned daily
by simply reading the many news
releases coming out Of the state
capital at Tallahassee, on the cur
rent session of the state legisla-
ture. These releases show clear
ly that the small man in the state
of Florida, is really being sold
down the river" through the leg
islaIture, largely because of the
big money Hobbies, whore high
powered and high paid lobbyists,
have already taken their tolls
among the Lawmakers, and only
a genius can foretell just how
much more will be done before
the session closes.
The small man, or the p r
man, II you want to put It that
way, has virtually become the
forgotten man" In this current
legislature. Apparently, every
ones interest 10 being carefully
guarded, except the small mans.
Many Of the bills being current
ly introduced have been deIiber-
ateIy written to protect the "big
boys, and throw the brunt Of the
burden Of necessary taxes upon
the backs Of the already heavily
laden small man. There are lob
bies in the halls Of the legislature
representing virtually all walks
Of life, except the small man. No
one seems to care about him.
And so 1t goes.
The outlook for the small, av-
erage man from the current leg
islature is anything but good.
And / cannot see any improve
ment in the near future. The
only hope that the small man has
is the almighty ballot. The alert
and intelligent use Of the ballot
at the proper time, can be the
salvation of the small man. Here's
hoping that he learns to-, and
uses that ballot, because there's
no other hope in sight for him.
