Move over, you evergreens.
There's q late entry in the
Christmas tree class.
It's a bare-branched maple
on the grounds of the Swiss
Embassy, and it made its
bow at a party given by AM
bassador and Mrs. de Torren-
te Saturday night.
The maple stands just out
side the picture window Of
the embassy's newly-added
drawing room. When the
garden floodlights are turned
on at night. the leafless tree
looks a bit stark, embassy
staff members agreed earlier
last week. They decided to
trim it.
The Press Attache and
Mrs. Claude van Muyden
conducted a furious search
Friday to- find just the right
ornaments-red and silver
sputnik-like stars.
And with the help of a few
colleagues, Mr.. van Muyden
spent the better part of Sat-
urday morning tying these to
the branches.
What the guests saw
through the window that
night was probably the most
modernistic Christmas tree
anywhere.
The de Torrentes' party, q
black-tie buffet supper, fol-
lowed a private concert given
by the Lucerne Festival
Strings in the conference
hall of the new Swiss Chan
cery building.

KARACHI, Pakistan, Dec. Z
(AP). - Barbara Eisenhower
had a look at American eco
nomic aid in action today
within two hours after her
arrival in this Pakistani city.
She said she would tell her
father r-in-law-President Eli
senhower-all about it.
The wife of the Presidents
son John visited Jinnah Gen.
tral Hospital. where the
United States has set up an
institute for training profess
sors for Pakistani medical
colleges.
She arrived at the complex
Of one-story buildings still
wearing the brown wool suit
in which she reached Paki-
stan.
She carried an alligator
purse to match her shoes.
Pearl earrings set on her tiny
brown hat. But she had left
behind the fur piece she car
ried from the plane.
Crowds Watch
Crowded wards watched
quietly as she walked past
beds covered with red blan-
kets. Then she was taken to
the hospitals basic medical
science institute.
This American aid center,
training Pakistan medical
instructors, is run by Indi-
ana University.
DR.. Paul A. Nicoll, the in
stitute director from Indi-
annapolis, escorted Barbara
about the building and ex-
planned to her the need for
medical instructors.
Afterwards she told news
men the visit to the hospital
IA Royal Air Force hospital

had, been most interesting"
Newsmen asked If she would
tell the President about what
she had seen of American
aid in action.
Il guess I will, she said.
"I really hadn't thought of it.
Things are moving so fast"
Then she paused and
added: "Of course I will tell
him about it."
AS she left the hospital a
patient threw a floral gar
land around her neck.
Barbara visited a children's
hospital in Ankara yesterday
only a few hours after being
received in audience by Pope
John XIII at the Vatican,
more than a thousand miles
away.
Two hours after her ar

to Africans who have joined the
white-dominated political parties.
The United Federal party claims
1000 Africans members in Nyasa-
land, but informed African sources
say the number is barely 200.
These, it is said, signed member
ship cards to protect their public
jobs.
There is little likelihood that
DR.. Banda will be released for
several years, according to we'll
informed persons. However, the
Government has freed an associ-
ate who may develop as political
leader.
He is Orion E. Chirwa, who last
October became the first Nyasa-
land African to be admitted to legal
practice here. He subsequently
became legal adviser to DR.. Banda.
Mr.. Chirwa and wife were de-
tanned for nearly six months. They
were separated and relatives cared
as best they could for the Chirwa's
four children. Mr.. Chirwa lost
his home and his legal practice
was destroyed.
He is now busy rebuilding his
practice and planning a new At
rican party. 1t would be founded
on the ruins of the African Ma
tional Congress and would seek
to achieve its goals through peace
full means.

town is nearing completion. AS
the Africans moved in groups of
a few each day over the last four
years, the homes they had occu-
pied were destroyed. Block after
block of Sophiatown has been re-
duced to rubble, giving the area
the appearance of a bombed town.
Houses still stand here and
there, because the owners have
filed legal objections to the COM
pensation they have been offered
by the Government for their prop
erty.
But in a few cases the demoli-
tiCn teams went ahead, while the
owners were in court obtaining
orders to halt the destruction of
their buildings. And about 400
other Africans are living as best
they can in the rubble, because
they cannot qualify for rehousing.
In the center of Sophiatown, the
Anglican Church of Christ the
King still stands. One of its best
known priests was the Rev. Trevor
Huddleston, who fought the re-
moval project and contended that
segregation was immoral. Soon
the church will be without par

"Thus if a Negro child is con-
sidered inferior to a white child,
he will be so considered despite
the location of his DESK" Mr..
Mitchell declared. What needs
changing is not so much the loca-
ton of the desk but the disloca-
ton of the mind that makes the

Henry Edward Schultz, national
chairman of the Anti-Defamation
League and member of the Board
of Higher Education in New York,
charged that Premier Khrushchev's
"evasive answers" to questions
about the status of Soviet Jews
shows chat his regime persists
in the old Russian Government
practice of manipulating anti-Se-
mite prejudice whenever it serves
political expediency."

A. Katz of New Orleans, recently
elected international president of
B'nai Birth, 116-yearold Jewish

Mr.. Katz declared that the
South, (which has always rejected
the concept of isolationism, is also
recognizing that it cannot submit
to any concepts of regional isola-
tionism that would separate it
from the mainstreams of our ma

The Jewish leader pointed to the
positive progress the South is
making in the advancement of in
tergroup relations year after
year" He added that "the image
of our nation in terms of Little
Rock is receding."
In his address, Mr.. Mitchell
cited a recent editorial in The
Charlotte IN. c. Observer that
pointed out that most Negro en-
gineers and accountants must

At the height of the emergency,
1922 persons were detained. Of
these, about TOO have been re-
leased. Most have returned to their
villages, where the Africans at

There are 2,75O,0OO Africans

conducted by the North Carolina
Baptist Convention. In it Mr.. Her
rim was charged with developing
an interracial program on the state
university campus and encourage
ing more liberal cooperation with
other denominations.
Mr.. Herrin then became associate
pastor of Northern Baptist
church in Scarsdale, N. Y, and
stayed there until he set up the new
Chapel Hill office last June.
He decided to go back, he said,
because we need to know what the
Negroes are undergoing in the
South, and they need to know that
somebody cares"
He picked Chapel Hill for head
quarters because he felt the city
and the university community
would not be unfriendly to his
work. The city has several inte-
grated churches, and the university
itself is integrated.

Mr.. Herrin will be working Off

to provide UNCONVENTIONAL "home"

South who do not feel at ease in
the Southern Baptist Convention.
Since the Southern Baptists
maintain no ties with the National
or World Councils of Churches, he
said, Baptists moving South find

from the Marshall Field Founda-
ton, Inc, for the college work.
A representative of the founda-
ton, headed by Adlai E. Stevenson,
said it was chiefly interested in
providing a clearing house through
which aid could be channeled to the
Negro schools. The aim would be
to make them strong enough to
withstand harassment in carrying
on their functions in the commu-
nifty, such as the training of Negro
leaders.
AS an example of harassment,
Mr.. Herrin cited this incident:
After the Hungarian uprising in
1856, Benedict College, an all-Ne-
gro institution in Columbia, S. c.,
wanted to enroll some Hungarian
refugee students.
The Governor at that time,
George Bell Zimmerman Jr., called
the three white faculty members
integrationists and Communists. He
said the Hungarians must be kept
out and the white professors dis
missed, or the fifty Negro gradu-
ates of the school would not be &C
credited to each in South Carolina
In the face of this threat, the trus-
tees dismissed the professors.
THAT is why the Marshall Field
Foundation wants to reestablish
support of these schools-so they
can stand up to such attacks" Mr.
Herrin said.

and a swimming pool are in ex-
cellent condition, but no one knows
whether they will be torn down
CIR turned over to a white con-
gfegation.
Since 1865, Meadowlands has
grown to a town of 11,155 new
homes, occupied by nearly 10000
Africans. The lines of three and
four-room houses of concrete
blocks remind the visitor from
New York of the row after row
of dwellings in places like Levitt
town, L. /.
The Meadowlands houses are
smaller and simpler. They were
built by African labor at a cost
of $448 each. The average month
ly rent is ST. Each has a small
backyard that may be used for
vegetable or flower gardens. There
is no question that they are a
vast improvement over the over
crowded and filthy slum that was
Sophiatown.
The South African Government
is proud of the fact that it has
provided $64,517,944 to build 49,
683 new houses for Africans since
1852. The bulk of the program
has been carried out since 1865,
but bad African slums still exist
in most of the big cities in the
country.
More than 100000 Africans live
in the johannesburg area. They
provide the South African metrop-
oils with much Of its labor. The
worst of the slums in which many
of them lived few years ago have
been removed, either in the name
of racial separation as in the case
of Sophiatown, or as a result of
slum clearance programs.
The new African housing de-
velopments boast such amenities
as Fairgrounds, soccer fields,
movie theatres, meeting halls
water-borne sewage and electric
ity. One even has a golf course
built by the Basuto residents. But
these developments have been built
as many as twenty-five miles from
johannesburg, in the interests OF
keeping whites and Africans apart
except when they meet during the
day in commerce and industry.

He also wants to start student re-
ligous groups on the Negro college
campuses, which now have none.
"If we could produce 100 Martin
Luther Kings" he commented, re-
ferring to the Alabama Indignation
leader, 1--WE would be making pro-
gress."
The nine institutions from which
almost all American Baptist Con-
vention support had previously
been withdrawn are:
Benedict College; Shaw Univer-
sity, Raleigh, N. c.; Mather School,
Beaufort, S. c.; Spellman and
