AhICE VI kSACAAAAAOu01 JIG NSoNs ~ MI
Herrin, sponsored a patriotic pro-
gram for public schools in Virginia
to acquaint pupils with the story
and aims Of democracy. Three
speakers, including Rev. McHerrin,
appeared on a program at Virginia
Randolph High school, Glen Allen,
Honrice county, Va. The gtst of
the address Of one Of the speakers
was:
ct is to people like you that
persons who favor democracy must
look for support, because you need
a democratic society and can ap-
preciate It's importance for your
freedom and security. White people
are not interested in true democ-
racy, because the white masses are
misled by politicians and govern
ment officials who have no inter-
est in democracy"
That statement has been sup
ported by several important cleo
tons in Virginia, and other south
ern states since then. In every
Virginia election, since the supreme
court school desegregation decis-
ion on May IT, 1854, Negro voters
have cast their ballots in favor of
compliance in support Of candi-
dates and measures for speedy &C
ton on the issue, and for the free
public school system.
This has also been true Of the
Negro vote in other southern
states on the school issue and de-
segregation. Negro voters have
shown more wisdom, or to put It
another way, have manifested less
race hatred while voting for the
common good than most white
voters.
Actually, the virlle forces Of
democracy revolve around the race
issue In the South. There In no
other issue with more democratic
potentialities than the race Issue.
The school desegregation issue Ii
the center Of attention Of those
who favor social justice and dem
ocracy, because the public school
system In the best symbol Of dem
ocratic development on the Amer
lean scene.
Morally speaking, churches
should be setting the example for
q democratic society, but the
churches are private institutions.
The schools are public institu-
tons - where every child is sup
posed to stand on equal footing
with his neighbOr, without regard
to race, color, creed, class or ma
tionality.

Papers Were Leaders
In Securing Job
Opportunities Here

Perhaps the biggest contrfbu-
ton to Minnesota community life
made by the Spokesman q Re-
corder newspapers in their rs years
Of existence has been the battle
for job equality in both Of the
Twin Cities.
Beginning almost with their first
issues in August, 1894 the papers
began a campaign for jobs for
qualified Negroes, which in a sense
has been carried even up, until
today.
Campaign For Jobs
Time and time again during the
first Is years Of publication the
paper pointed out in editorials and
news stories the unfairness of not
giving Negro men and women
workers opportunity to work at
their highest skill.
Efforts to limit the Negro popu-
lation by refusing job opportunity
was assailed regularly by the
newspapers. The papers were ac-
tive in the movement for fair en-
ployment legislation and used col
umns Of space to tell Of the wide
spread job discrimination prac-
ticed against members Of the Me-
gro community regardless Of their
ability or training by Twin City
employers.
These job campaigns while con-
sidered necessary and vital to the
progress Of the Negro Twin Citian
made few friends among employers
or employment agencies for thu

To combat the job campaigns
the papers were labeled ''agita-

efforts were made to silence the

same.

Ice Rejected
For A-Wasfes

MONTE CARLO, Monaco,
Nov. 81 (AP).-Soviet and Ca
madam scientists brushed aside
today a suggestion that radio
active waste materials should
be put on ice-Stored in
glaciers.
A delegate to the Interna-
tional Conference on Disposal
of Radioactive Wastes had
suggested that disposing of un-
wanted matter on a glacial ice
cap. where it would be sealed
in by new snow and ice, would
take care of the problem for
at least 10000 years.
c. A. Mawson, assistant di-
rector of the biology branch of
the Canadian Atomic Energy
Center, took the other view:
I'VE have ice in Canada. We
have tried this method. 1t is
very expensive to transport the
wastes. In our opinion, this is
a method that has only theo-
retical interest"
Victor Spitzine, head of the
Russian delegation to the con-
ference which ended today,
took a similar line:
Transportation by plane of
a liter (about a United States
quartz of atomic wastes re-
quires several tons of protective
matter. I am completely in
agreement that this system has
