Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
Your selection of "An Unfin

statesman Bernard M. Baruch for
Brotherhood Week was brought

tee. You will want to know that
this organization is alert to this
highly commendable choice and is
especially appreciative of the fact
that this expression came from
that great counselor of presidents
and kings.
America is still growing and
is in the midst of one of her most
critical phases.
When freedom is to be won,
complacency is an enemy. 1t is
alarming that so much of Amer
lea is guilty of complacency so
much of the time.
We do recognize that most
difficult goal is being realized
little by little, blu also, that the
forces working against this most
human, American way of life con-
cept are also aligning to tear
down the foundation of our being
trying to and succeeding in
maintaining a deep stain for
which America is known the
world over.
Recently, letter, entitled mot
Nesworthy'' to the editor of one
Washington's newspapers chal
lenged statement by that paper
that this burning issue is not
newsworthy to the extent of con-
tinuous prominent placement in
the papers. This writer ably con-
tended that necessary cultivating
influences must be sold to the
public whether or not the public
knows what it wants, since it
must most often be taught to ac-
cept what it needs. He cited the
selling to the citiZenry the buying
og government bonds and paying
income taxes. These are neces.
sary elements in our economic
structure. Full citizenship for all
is a necessary element in our So
cial structure
The NAACP is a proudly Amer
lean organization Membership is
extended to all who wish to grow
with America and with us

the opportunity to speak for free

This is the experience of only

around and you will notice that
approximately 500 of the local

about 10 of them are equipped

happen if all the local banks were

Would there be an investigation
or would they have to be caught

One hubcap is not as important
as a bank holdup and should
rightfully receive only limited at.
tention from our busy law off.
GERS, but when there are many
hundreds of stolen hubcaps being
vlsibly displayed daily, l believe
that there is great need for a
major investigation into the meth.

by simply asking Junior" where
