Rams Strengthened:
Lundy Signs With
Rams; N. c. College
Star, Boxer, Also

Los Angeles CAMP - Lamar
Lundy and John Baker, veteran
linemen, have signed their con-
tracts for the 1859 season, Los
Angeles Ram General Manager
Pete Rozelle announced this week.
This will be Lundy's third sea-
son with the Rams. The veteran
from Purdue University was an
unexpected sensation as a rookie
in 1857. Used both at offensive
and defensive end, Lundy caught
only six passes, but three were
for touchdowns, all of them at
crucial times.
Last season. Lamar was used
exclusively at slotback, a position
calling for pass receiving plus
rugged blocking. Lundy came
through with flying colors, gain
ing 396 yards on 25 passes, again
chalking up three touchdowns.
Lundy's blocking was so effec-
tive that this season Ram Coach
Sid Gilman plans to use him at
right tackle on offense, a spot left
open by the departure of Ken
Panfil via trade.
Baker, Negro All-American from
North Carolina College, last sea-
son spelled both Frank Fuller and
George Strugar at defensive tao
kle. Gilman says Bakers po-
tential is tremendous. There's just
no telling how good he can be,
once he gains the experience he
missed in his small college &C
tivity." The giant (6-6 and 300
lineman will be making a strong
bid to nail down the starting right
tackle spot left vacant when Full
Ter was traded.
Baker will be reunited with Don
Paul, now the Ram defensive line
coach, who first taught Baker
some of the tricks of pro line
play at the College An-Star game
in Chicago last year. Paul coached
the All-Star defensive linemen.

To Germany:
Sugar Roy" To
Defend TifIe In
September Bouf

New York (ANP) - Sugar Ray
Robinson told reporters here that
he will definitely defend his middle
weight title in September, possibly
against Germany's Gustav Scholz
in Berlin.
Robinson revealed he had re-
ceived a big offer" from Germany
to fight Scholz and that he might
take it.
other offers have come from
England, to fight Terry Downes,
the British champion, in London.
However, the National Boxing
associations vacating Of Rays
title still stands. The NBA has al
ready announced it will recognize
the winner of the Gene Fullmer-
Carmen Basilio to fight in San
Francisco on August % as the mid
dleweight champion.
Obviously piqued over the issue,
Sugar Ray commented, I'm still
the champion in New York, Penn
sylvania, Massachusetts,, Cuba and
Europe.
Recently scholz knocked out
Charlie Humez, who was always
rated a top contender.
Earlier I was set to fight Scholz,
but the New York commission told
me he wasn't a fit opponent. Now,
maybe the commissions will change
their opinion about European fight
ers."

Nice People Always Write: -
This is the way Eleanor Roose-
welt wrote about it last week:
Il don't know how other people
feel about the story the other week
on the refusal Of the swank tennis
club in Forest Hills, L. I. to per-
nit DR.. Ralph Bunche's SON
who has been taking tennis les
sons at the club from the pro-to
become a member and play there.
Il can only say felt mortified
that in the North we still have a
club, the West Side Tennis Club.
which is not ashamed to say that
it bars Jews and Negroes from
membership.
THE members Of this club may
think themselves better than
people of other races and they may
think that in their club and in their
homes they can be justified today
in refusing admittance to people
on a basis of race, color or re-
ligion. But I would like to point
out to them that bombs do not
discriminate in this manner When
these people have helped the rest
of US to lose the uncommitted
areas of the world where two
thirds Of the worlds population
exist, which are largely non-Aryan
race and of many religions and
many colors, then perhaps they
will realize what they have done
to give us a Communist world
if not to destroy our civilization
completely.
81 hope that no cOIOred champ
ion and no Jewish champion
will play tennis at that club
again.
"Of course, this is the kind Of
discrimination that will not hurt
the Bunches. They have too many
open doors to feel a slight of this
kind But how can we in the North
ask of the, South the sacrifices
that we are now asking if we
countenance this kind of snobbish
discrimination?
II thought the past few years
had done away with snobbery in
our country. I thought we had
learned to respect people for what
they are and for what they have
accomplished not for themselves
alone but for their country and
the world.
II wonder how many people in
the West Side Tennis Club, when
they stand before st. Peter, will
be able to give as good an ac-
count of their motives and their
achievements as DR.. Bunche and
his children"
IF you can't play tennis with
Negroes, how come you are willing
to let them be drafted into your
army and die for you? I am ash
AIMED for my white people. I am
one of them, and their stupidity
and cruelty makes me cringe."

Separate Alphabetical
& Classified Phone
Directories In Jan.

Minneapolis will soon join the
ranks of large metropolitan areas
having separate alphabetical and
classified telephone directories. c.
D. Gietzen, division manager, said
that with the coming January
issue, Northwestern Bell will furn-
ish it's Minneapolis customers with
two separate phone books, one con-
tanning only the white page alpha
betical listings and the other con-
tanning only the business listings
of the classified section.
Increasing bulkiness of the pres
ent combined directory is forcing
the split. The current book has 72o
white pages and 636 yellow pages
for a total of 1856 pages. 1t weighs
nearly four pounds and is two
inches thick. Each year, growth in
telephones adds about 100 new
pages to the book.
"At this rate" Gietzen said,
1.-The book is rapidly approaching
a size where it will become too
unwieldy to use easily. In addition,
we have been getting an increas-
ing number of complaints that the
size of type used for the listings in
the white pages is too small for
many people to read. By splitting
the book, we will eventually be
able to reset the white pages u.s.
ing larger type"
More suburban communities will
be included in the new alphabetical
directory. In addition to the Lake
Minnetonka hstings now included,
it will contain telephone numbers
of Anoka, Osseo and Mound tele-
phone users.
No reduction in the number Of
directories delivered is contemp-
lated in the new plan. Each tele-
phone user will be given an alpha
betical and a classified directory.
Customers having more than one
telephone will be given additional
books, either alphabetical or classi-
fled as needed.
Telephone users in adjacent
communities such as st. Paul, Lake
Minnetonka and Anoka whose
service is tied in with the Mime
apolis telephone system win also
be able to- make arrangements to
obtain the new Minneapolis direc-
tories.
Gietzen said that the problem Of
bulky telephone directories in met
ropolitan areas has become in
creasingly serious in recent years.
Nine large cities now have separate
alphabetical and classified direc-
tories and in New York, Chicago
and Los Angeles, it has been nee
essary to further subdivide the al
phabetical books by groups Of
communities. y
Chicago telephone users current
ly have the biggest single directory
to handle with 2140 pages. The
book is nearly three inches thick
and weighs over six pounds. The
Chicago suburban directory follows
closely with 1874 pages and the
classified (red book has 2S4S
pages.
1t takes five alphabetical direc-
tories to serve greater Los Angeles
and five also to serve the New
York metropolitan areas.
Boston, Cleveland, Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh, Detroit and Washing
ton are other large cities with sep
arate alphabetical and classified

Results OF Defiance

Statewise, in Washington, the
Senate Judiciary Committee heard
report from the American Jewish
Congress showing that Indignation
in IL Southern states has slowed
to snails pace because of de-
finance of the U. S. Supreme Court
desegregation decision. Only 141 of
2,01S school districts in those states
have begun indignation, the re-
ports added.
States surveyed were Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louis
lana, Mississippi, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas
and Virginia.
The committee, headed by Sen.
James Eastland, a staunch segre-
gationist, listened but promised no
specific action. However, viii Mas
low Of New York, AJC general
counsel, called for strong federal
action on civil rights to halt the
alarming showdown"
Maryland Senate Kills Merger
Meanwhile, at Annapolis, Md,
the State Senate, without a word
Of debate, voted down a measure
providing for the indignation of
Maryland's training schools. The
schools involved were Barrett (Ne-
gro). and Montrose (white) for
delinquent girls. The merger was
originally proposed by the Depart
ment of Public Welfare.
Can't Fight Federal Court
In Richmond, Gov. J. Lindsay
Almond Jr. told diehard segrega-
tionists that nothing can be gained
by returning to massive resist
ance" in trying to halt integra-
ton in the schools. He praised and
recommended to the Legislature
the report Of the Porrow Commits
sion that each community should
decide whether or how much It
wants to integrate.
Segregationists have been ac-
cusing the governor of surrender
ing the schools to the federal
courts. The Governor, however,
has conceded that Virginia has
lost the battle for complete segre-
cation, and said nothing could be
gained by abandoning the public |
school system. Said he:
1T may be that we have wit
messed Gettysburg, but If we unite /
and work together for the best
interests of Virginia there will be
no Appomattox."

Americans Take
Segregation To
Korean Schools
NEWS FROM THE INTEGRA-
TON BATTLEFRONT
By Charles j. Livingston

NEWS FROM The lNTEGRA-
TON BATTLEFRONT
By Charles j. Livingston
Washington (D.CD, Virginia,
Arkansas, and even South Korea
figured prominently in the integra-
ton news in the week just con-
cluded.
How did Korea, a Country for
which countless men of Negro
blood fought and died to defend
during the Korean war, become
involved in the Indignation battle :?
1t happened in a roundabout
way. A group Of segregationists,
consisting of private citizens and
American officers stationed in
South Korea, taking advantage Of
a social problem resulting from
the war, opened special jim crow
school for about 40 children Of
American and Korean extraction.
The idea was to keep their chill
dren from attending schools along
with other children Of mixed
blood"
Korean Ministry Acts
The term mixed" applies to
those children Numbering 1146)
fathered by the United Nations
Forces in Korea during the war,
the Ministry stated. OF these, 1888
are old enough and eligible to en-
ter the primary grades in the
schools. However, segregationists
here have been at work trying to
keep them out. They have proposed
the establishment Of special segre-
gated schools for mixed" students
particularly young colored Kor-
cans.
But the Korean Government In
a swift, firm move, rejected the
proposals and ordered the lin
crow school closed. In addition,
Education Minister, Choi Jai Yu,
has ordered school authorities not
to permit discrimination in the
schools.
The Government action had the
support of the Korean Association
of International Voluntary Agen-
cies, which issued a statement
reading in part:
ut is our feeling that a segre-
gated education, no matter how
excellent it may be, does not pre-
pare a child, whose mother does
not wish to release him for adop-
ton, for a useful later life in
Korea. A number Of the mixed"
Korean children have been sent to
the United States for adoption

and segregation organization.

and segregation organization.
The governor then came up with
the clincher: He was not opposed
to token indignation. However. he
failed to explain why he closed
the schools for the same purpose.
Faubus closed Little Rocks three
public high schools to prevent nine
Negro students, who had integral
ed it the previous year under the
protection Of federal troops, from
reentering.

Chester BoWIeS Says
Gundhis IdeoIS
Still Alive

Washington CAMP - The ideals
of Mahatma Ghandi are still af-
fecting people of India, declared
Rep. Chester Bowles, former US.
ambassador to India. His ideas
are noted in all layers Of society
from Prime Minister Nehru, as he
wrestles with problems of foreign
policy to the simple peasant who
votes in midas free elections for
candidates who promise to con-
tinue in Gandhi's path.
And in between these two Soc
ial levels, we find men like Vinaba
Bhave preaching the Canadian
theory, as he walks from village
to village trying to bring to life
Gandhi's vision of little village re-
publics," Bowles said.
The congressman spoke at How
ard university at the Inaugural
ton of Gandhi Memorial lectures,
on the subject, What American
Can Learn From Ghandhi."
Passive Resistance No Test For
Communism
Gandhi's so-called passive re-
Stance" theory was successful,
said Bowles. because his oppon-
ents were not too ruthless.
He would not have been so
successful had he faced a Hitler
or a Stain. Therefore, he has not
given us much technique for the de-
feat Of Communism, or for any
other brutaIied system Of suppress
sion - but he gave the world a
great lesson.
He gave ideas that move men
into action and that without them,
all the trappings of mechanical
and statistical and military power
may prove utterly indecisive," the
congressman observed.
The Indian leader did not be-
lieve in imposing his views on
others, he believed in the power Of
persuasion. He believed in the
power of truth. Democracy, nom
violence, respect for individual
these were essential to his belief
In truth.
Experiments OF Truth In Africa
Under the most difficult cir
cumstances, in Africa and then in
India, among a mass Of illiterate,
impoverished people, Gandhi con-
Quoted what he called expert
ments in truth These expert
ments included the salt march,
jail-going. silent spinning, choos-
ing to live in village of untouch-
ables, even wearing the dhoti.
These were symbols which reached
the human mind and heart more
han words alone could reach"
Rep. Bowles continued, I'm Az

lon-violent resistance, hundreds Of |
dedicated young men are stiIl try
