that Negroes, not alone in the
South but in all areas of our
land, are Disseminated against,
oppressed, and denied rights
that are morally and legally
theirs. AS Christians we cannot
accept such abuses without pro
test, nor can we avoid the re-
sponsibility of working to cor
rect them. There is no segrega
ton at the foot of the Cross
and the Church through its as
semblies has repeatedly taken
the stand that the segregation OF
peoples on the grounds of race
has no place in church or so
ciety that calls itself Christian
There is something inexor-
able in the workings Of Gods
laws in history. Peoples who
are oppressed and discriminat.
ed against. once fully awsk.
ened, will not be stopped.
Moses and the ancient Isrse-
'ifes could not be stopped by
all the might Of Egypt. Nor
can the power Of the Western
nations today prevent Asian
and African peoples from at.
tanning national freedom. And
no measures can finally stop
the American Negro from at
tanning his rishtfvI place in
our democracy. Racial intesrs-
tion in our land is inevitable.

s'State" School Budget Of $14 Million Adopted

Robert Baldwin, Second divi- sion member of the Board of Edu- cation returned Saturday from a meeting of the Board at which time the school budget was pre- pared. Heretofore a two year budget has been prepared but due to the. fact that the Con- stitution of Alaska calls for yearly meetings of the legislature only a one year budget was pre- pared this time.
 A budget for the schools through 1959-196O was set for $14,01O,000. This included a $1,057,000 deficiency request for funds needed for the 1958-59 school year.
 The biggest percent of the in crease is in construction it was reported and the deficiency is al- most the same amount which the legislature cut out of the budget at the last session.

See Decision On Congressional Action Up To
u. S. Atty. General Rogers And Democrat
Senate Leader Lyndon B. Johnson

Washington, Sept. 81 - A new
element was injected into the tur-
bulent school segregation picture
this week with the suggestion by
Gov. Leroy Collins of Florida that
the next Congress speedily enact
legislation to deal with the issue.
Not that legislation on the
school problem is a new idea.
Liberals from time to time have
introduced bills to enforce the Su-'
preme Courts school decision. And
Southerners have spoken of stat
utes or constitutional amendments
to reverse the decision.
But those were entirely theoreti-
cal exercises, without even the re-
hottest chances of passage. Having
the proposal come from a South-
ern Governor - and a suggestion
to implement indignation, not block
it-seemed to some to make Con-
gressional action more a possibili-
ty.
Two interrelated factors must
be weighed in any discussion of
legislation on the school issue. One

By Big Urban Renewal Project To Be Negroes

CHICAGO, Sept. PA bitter
controversy with religious and
racial overtones ragged this week
over a vast urban renewal project
that was designed primarily to pro-
tect the University of Chicago.
"The very life of the university
is at stake" Chancellor Lawrence
Kimpton told a City Council hear
ing. Approval by the Council is
the last act needed to set the $780,
100000 one square-mile program
in motion.
Leading the drive for the prof.
ect is the South East Chicago Com
mission, a citizens group headed
by DR.. Kimpton. 1t is the coun-
terpart of Morning side Heights,
Inc, which has tried to rehabilitate
the area around Columbia Uni
versity in New York. The two
groups have a close working re-
lationship.
The dispute over the project
will be one of the first problems
to face Archbishop Albert Gregory
Meyer, who was named this week
to succeed the late Samuel Aiphon-
sus Cardinal Stritch as head of
the Chicago Archdiocese.
