The Imperial
Mass Offered
AT TougaIoo

The Tougaloo Southern Christian
College Choir, under the direction
Of A. M Lovelace, will present
Haydn's Imperial Mass on Sunday,
December 18th, at pm, in Wood
worth Chapel.
This Mass is an hour long sacred
service which was set to music by
Haydn during the summer Of 1898.
It is believed by many that this
work reaches l"ve' If ;-~-:ro
ton which is perhaps above and
beyond that Of his instrumental
music. In any case there seems
to be a general belief that there
is no work in all Haydn that is
more perfect.
This Mass became generally
known some years ago and it has
done more to effect the present
Havdn Renaissance than any other
work by Haydn except the Gre
alton.
The Imperial Mass is scored for
four soloists - soprano, Doris
Peace; contralto. Loretta Wiley;
Tenos, James Fitch; bass, Arthur
Johnson. -4
The choir is assisted by Mr..
William H. Moore, piano instruct
or, Mrs. Rathanne Schnell, violin
ist, member Of the regular college
staff, and Richard Harris, organ
list, a senior student.

Admission standards under these
laws include academic standing,
proximity to a school and whether
pupils entry might lead to dis
order or psychological unrest. Race

Gals concede privately, and some
times publicly, that the laws are
aimed at holding Indignation to a
minimum.

manner.

Concerning the broader implica

The region had kept pace eco
nomically, the council went on, but
much of its political leadership, "ir

Fortunately, the statement noted
"there is a growing understanding
that school closings, violence, de
magoguery, and the products of de-
fiance come with a price tag"

Air Force and Army personnel in

United States relations with Ice
land over the bases have been
marked by incidents. In September
the Pentagon removed Brig. Gen.
Gilbert L. Pritchard, commander of
United States troops in Iceland, Gin

landic Government.
General Pritchard's removal fol-
lowed an incident on Sep. that
stirred strong feelings in Iceland.
It appeared that two Icelandic Civil
Air Defense officials had been
forced to lie face down on wet
ground by an American sentry
while he ascertained their right to
enter base. s+i. t@
In commenting on the United
States voluntary restrictions on
Negro assignments to Iceland, the
Pentagon spokesman said Wash
ington's policy was to defer to the
wishes of the country in which
bases are situated.
The Defense Department consid-
ers that the United States is a
guest" and the country providing
for the base "a host" the spokes-
man said.
He added that the wishes of Ice

were less demanding than those of
the Government Of Saudi Arabia,

an air field at Dhahran.

New Definition Urged

The region, the council said,
should redefine the problem by ask
ing itself, allow best can we edu-
cate all our youth 2" instead Of,
"How can we keep Negroes QUIT"
or "How few can we admit 7"
The statement reflected a grow
in dissatisfaction among Negroes
and white liberals in the South
over the slow pace of desegrega-
ton. Much of the delay can be
traced to restrictions imposed by
pupil assignment laws now in force
throughout the South, except in
Georgia.

"Hesitant and limited though
many of these changes have been,

Nazi Germany's bitterness
toward the different races al
most resulted in Japan and
Hitler's Reich becoming some-
thing other than allies In
World War II.
In fact, the two countries
were at a point Of intolerable
friction until the Germans un-

Aryan legislation aimed par
ticularly at degrading the
Jews. but having a like effect
as to other races created diff

caused a real problem.
Press Hostility Recalled
The japanese press of the
time became openly and ex-

Nazis and actually was ready
to foster international agita-

This situation is described in
documents from the archives of

Apology Sent
ByAdenauer

BONN, Germany, Sept. /
(AP).-Chancellor Konrad Ade-
nauer marked the goth ami
versary today Of Hitler's inva-
sion of Poland with an apology
to the Poles for the Nazi ag-
erosion. He expressed belief
that "the new Germany will
one day be q good neighbor OF
Poland"
The S3-year-old Chancellor
broadcast his message Of peace
and friendship last night.
"Our endeavour must be to
create understanding, respect
and sympathy between the Ger
many of today and the polish
people so that on this founda-
ton a true friendship can
grow" he said.
Mr.. Adenauer's 500 word
speech carefully referred to the
Polish people, apparently as
iistinct from their Communist
government. But his remarks
reflected the new friendly atti-
tude he has adopted toward
Communist East Europe since
he talked with President Eisen-
hover last week.
After Mr.. Eisenhower left
Bonn, Mr.. Adenauer sent Sow
let Premier Nikita s. Khru-
shchev a letter saying his gov
eminent does not want to
avenge seizure of German ter
ritory after World War II. Fur
Their, added Mr.. Adenauer, he
does not hate Communists.
In Communist East Ger
many, meanwhile, the Red
controlled national front OBJ
served the goth anniversary Of
World War lis start by accus-
ing West Germany OF plotting
a new conflict.
The front, a collection OF
political organizations, charged
that West German militarists
want to revise their defeat in
World War II with nuclear

weapons and long distance
rockets"
Moscow's press marked the
anniversary by accusing the
West of reviving militarism in
West Germany and warning Of
the new might of the USSR. "
A commentator in 'Pravda
said the events preceding the
outbreak Of the war are row
being repeated. He said East
Germany's Communist govern
ment had created the first
peaceable state in Germany's
history.
