leaders with having violated an in
junction against activity of the Ma

obtain the records of the Negro
organizations Alabama branch.
The organization refused to reveal
its records, sources of revenue,
membership lists, and so on. Mr..
Patterson then asked the court to

HARTMAN, N. Y, May q
The Thirteenth American Assembly
at Arden House here moved toward
general agreement today on the
proposition that the United States
should welcome the non-alignment
of the emerging nations of Africa.
The assembly's three working
panels reached almost identical
conclusions in the matter of At
rican neutralism. These were that
such neutralism should be regarded
by the United States not as a la
bility but as an asset.
In this, they seemed to be at
variance with the statement of
United States policy made by JUL
Jus c. Holmes, special assistant to
the Secretary of State, in his open

In All The Fortnight States
Action Aimed At Restoring Communications
Between The Local Negro And White Leaders

Washington, D. C. May S = The
Civil Rights Commission last week
agreed to appoint local Advisory
Committees in all 48 states.
The action, taken at a day-long
business meeting, was the first
long forward step made by the
commission since its creation last
fall by the Civil Rights Act of
1857. Some observers have seen
the use of advisory committees as
particularly important tool in the
effort to alleviate racial tensions.
The committees will be made up
of five to nine persons. The COM
mission will accept nominations
from state racial groups, veterans
organizations, women's clubs, AGA
demic societies and business, labor
and farm groups. But the commits
sion itself will make the actual ap-

by the 6-year-olds with the agility of high school

phenomenon on the program, I decided to ask
few background questions about the Hicksville
language experiment.
The originator of the whole thing was a

Through a clerical error she had been sent to q
grade school as a third grade teacher. The
school promised to clear up the mess as soon
as possible. but Miss villegas had to take the
lower class. Her success with Spanish led to the
teaching Of other languages.
In an era when our educational system Is Q
