that the UN drafted a preamble
which was I'M effect a determin-
alton by that body to universalize
the protection of human rights
and of minorities nd to
make such protection an inter-
national responsibility.
Mr.. williams stated that "the
Declaration has become known
throughout the world. It has been
translated into almost every
known language and has in
fluenced new national conStitu-
tions, legislation and court de-
ciSionS."
cit would be a fine thing if
today, on this 10th anniversary,
we could honestly declare Ameri-
ca in line with the Declarations
principle-unfortunately we can
NOT. This then is the obligation
each of us must assume" said
Williams.

Berkeley, Calif.-"BecauSe OF

NAACP Regional Secretary
Counsel Franklin H. Williams
said yesterday.
addressing students of the
University of California at a
campus noon meeting called as
a part of the undversity's obser-
vance of Human Rights Day, Mr..
Williams declared:
In it's international relations
the United States owes some
thing to the world, to the United
Nations and to the ideals
which it processes to advocate.
Recent headlines of the viol-
ations of human rights of Ameri-
cans" stated Mr. Williams,
should cause all Americans to
pause and reflect. The violations
of human rights of Americans,
whether by a governor in Ar
kansas, a legislature in Virginia,
a sheriff in Florida a county
clerk in Nevada or a bigot in
your community, should be of
universal concern to Americans
rather than simply to the COM
munity or individuals involved"

estimated TO radio stations in
the United States which program
entirely for Negroes, but he felt
that there weren't more than
a half-dozen of them which were
sincere and tried to program
up" rather than "Shoot down..
He noted that WLIB Of New
York, KPRS of Kansas City and
his own outlet were among the
few serving the community.
"What Negro radio) should
do and is not doing is to be able
to point to at least one thing at
the end of the year-whether it's
an iron lung, a park bench or
a community center, something
and say my station got this one
thing that's worthwhile" Miller
declares.
Miller pointed out In Variety
that white annOuncerS for white
audiences are allowed the dignity
of using their own names-Wtl-
liam B. Williams, Martin Block
or whoever. But the Negro DECAY
doesn't have his own name. He's
given the name of a clown, a
name in keeping with the false
and grotesque stereotype of the
idiotic smiling Negro. He becomes
Uncle Snuffy, DR.. Gismo, Radio
Daddy-O, The Cat Man.
"The irony Is the White man
who listens in is not really hear
ing what the Negro wants to
hear" Miller said.
The executive said his station
is making a profit from its '-en-
lightened" programming. He said
he assumes the others who follow
the same format are making
profits as well.

Not Invited,
USSR Issues
A-Test'N yet'
By the Associated Press

Russia has denounced and
declined a United States in
vitation-which, incidentally,
was never sent-to observe a
laboratory atomic test.
The diplomatic mixup came
about this way:
Last April President Eisen-
hover invited United Nations
members to watch a Pacific
test shot of a weapon with re-
duced atomic fallout. He set
August Is as the date.
But acceptanceS were very
slow in coming in.
So the United States with
drew its invitation July 26.
1t was explained that weather
might delay the August rs shot
and followup laboratory ana
lysis of fallout samples would

take several days, running the
whole thing into September.
Thus, some experts planning
to attend the Geneva atom
for-peace meeting starting
to cancel that or skip United
States test.
AS an alternative, the United
States said it would invite
world scientists to witness a
laboratory demonstration. 1t
said an invitation would be sent
as soon as a date was set which
did not conflict with other
meetings.
The Soviet Embassy delivered
a note Thursday to the State
Department. Ignoring the lack
Iof a formal invitation, the Rus
slams said they were not inter-
ested.
The note, United States off,
Gals said, went on to denounce
the United States for holding
atomic tests of any kind. 1t
said the invitation to U. N,
members was a dodge to try
to cloak United States tests
with U. N. authority.
The Soviet government, the
note said, considered it i'm
possible to send observers and
wants all tests stopped imme-
diately.

Pref|ight Test
ForVanguard

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla,
Aug. 80 AP).-The mighty
first-stage engine of a VAN
guard satellite rocket roared
into action tonight during a
preflight test.
A static or ground-controI
test usually proceeds a VAN
guard launching by one week to
10 days.
The 72-foot rocket repeatedly
houses another 215-pound ball
satellite, the third the Navy
has attempted to send into
orbit around the globe.
Earlier in the day an Air
Force Shark and two Army
advanced research rockets were
launched within an hours time
at the busy missile test center
The static test came GA days
after Vanguard rocket fizzled
in flight when the second stage
failed to ignite high in the sky
It was learned that the interim
time was spent completely
overhauling the rocket.
The only Vanguard success
in six tries at launching the
complete three stage rocket
was chalked up March II when
a 312-pound grapefruit" sized
satellite was hurled into an
orbit that may last 200 years.
The static came on the heels
of a Navy announcement in
Washington yesterday that the
Vanguard which attempted to
launch the first 21.5-pound
satellite last May II travelled
$500 miles into the South At
lantic instead of going into
orbit.
Two five stage Army re-
search rockets fired earlier
appeared to function normally,
but trouble developed on the
Shark fight.
The Shark, the free worlds
only test operational intercon-
tinental range missile, splashed
Into the ocean just of the Cape
seven hours after launching.
1 The Air Force announced
that the missiles flight direc-
ton was turned around after
the technical troubles were
spotted. The Shark repeatedly
was aimed at an impact area
6 900 miles across the Atlantic
near Ascension Island.
The research missiles, made
up of conventional small, solid
fuel Army rockets, were fired
as part of a probe of the earth's
atmosphere being conducted by
the National Advisory Commit
tee for Aeronautics.
The NACA launchings are
aimed at gathering basic in
formation on radiation phe-
nomena and other projects. in
cluding manned space travel,
officials said.
Both rockets spurted trails Of
orange flame and disappeared
high in the sky in seconds.

Mr.. Hagerty announced ear
lier that the President has ap-

torious contributions in the field
Of atomic energy.
The award, carrying a none
