Marian Anderson
AS Unifed
Nofions Delegate
Editorial st. Paul DIspateh)

Marian Anderson, the famous
Negro singer from Philadelphia,
will become an official representa-
tive of the United States govern
ment in the United Nations on
September 10. She win serve as
one Of this country's 10 UN dele
gates, having been appointed by
President Eisenhower.
Miss Anderson is peculiarly fit
ted for her new position. Last year
when she made a tour of Asia at
the request Of the State depart
ment, she demonstrated an I'M
surpassed ability to win the con-
fidence and affection Of people Of
all races and backgrounds. Kings
and peasants alike responded to
her magnetic personality and her
thrilling voice. In India she be-
came the only foreigner ever in
vited to speak at the Gandhi MEM
orial in Old Delhi.
AS a member Of United Nations
committees, Miss Anderson will
present to the world a powerful
symbol of the ideals and aspira-
tons Of the United States and its
democratic form Of government.
Her presence will do more than
formal governmental programs and
ambass a d rial declarations to
transmit the American idea to the
peoples Of that great portion Of
the world which is populated by
nonwhite races.
Furthermore, Miss Anderson's
presence at the United Nations
should have a valuable impact on
Americans as well. It win en-
courage all those who believe in
ideals Of human equality and per-
sonal dignity. II win be a rebuke
and a Reputation Of the Faubuses,
the Eastlands, the Talmadges and
all the forces Of bigotry and pre-
JUDGE which hold back the ad-
vance Of peaceful human relations
in the United States.
