More For Defense

THE House Appropriations Committee,
= which recently approved a defense bill
totaling almost $4,000, 900, 900, has warned
the Administration that the gap between
this country's rocket power and that of
Russia is wide, and must not be widened
further. \
Emphasizing its point, the House Com
on Atlas missiles, speed development Of the
Minuteman, which is an improved 5000
mile rocket, using solid fuel, and reserve
the right to vote more funds in the future
for these purposes.
The Committee, interestingly refused to
approve some S26O,OO0,OOO for the laying
down of a new Navy super-carrier, thus
opening up the controversial carrier ques-
ton once again.
The Committee meanwhile gave Presi-
dent Eisenhower almost blankcheck power
to spend what money he needed to place U.
S. bombers on a constant air alert.
The most significant action of the Com
mittee, of course is its move to speed up
missile production, and it's warning that the
United States cannot allow the gap between
Russian and U. S. missile progress to in
crease. This is quite clearly criticism of
the Administrations defense program, cou-
pied with both action and warning and
the President, and the Defense Department
can hardly expect to ignore the Commit.
tees recommendations, at least to some de-
gree.

nights must be clearly designed to
continue the substantial progress
that has taken place in the past
few years, the President made it
clear that any recommendations
he might make have been weighed
and formulated with this in mind.
Presents 7-Point Program
Following this explanation Mr..
Eisenhower presented a 7-point
civil rights program and urged
Congress to give prompt consid-
carlton to these proposals.
First he recommended legisla-
ton to strengthen the law to make
it a federal offense to use force or
threats of force to obstruct Court
orders in school desegregation.
Secondly, he asked for legisla-
ton to give additional investiga-
tive authority to the FBI in the
case of crimes involving the de-
struction of schools or churches
and making flight from one State
to another to avoid prosecution for
such crime. He made no mention of
bombing of homes.
Touches On The Right To Vote
The Presidents third proposal
was to give the Attorney General
power to inspect Federal election
records. THE right to vote, the
keystone Of democratic self-gov-
must be available to all
qualified citizens without discrim-
nation" the President stated.
His fourth recommendation
death with a proposal to provide
a temporary program of financial
and technical aid to State and local
agencies to assist them in making
the necessary adjustments requir-
ed by school desegregation deci-
sion.
Filthy, the Administration call
ed for legislation authorizing, on a
temporary basis, provisions for the
of children of members
Of the Armed Forces when State
administered public schools have

ton decisions.

Forget Heritage
African Leader
Scolds US. Negroes
Lock Of Interest
BY Malcolm POlndexter


Philadelphia (ANP) - The ap-
parent refusal on the part of
American Negroes to acknowledge
their African heritage and culture
was today challenged by Michael
Babatunde Olatunji, president of
the All African Students Union
Of the Americas, Inc.
The handsome spokesman for
over 1900 students of the Dark
Continent said in an exclusive in
terview that it is certain that the
Negro will not be free until he has
cleared his mind and taken real
istic look at his past culture"
The heritage of the colored man
in America is clearly defined"
stated the colorfully CARRIED visi-
tor. Actually, he is not to blame
for knowing so little of the past.
But education should have taught
him by now that he has been care
fully indoctrinated to forget all but
the white mans civilization and
consequently knows little else.
Brothers" Jeer
Pointing to his native garb,
Olatunji recalled that Negroes
have a tendency to laugh" at his
clothing: They think it's very
funny"
Talking of the AASUA, the
only African organization trying to
promote and encourage unity and
solidarity among it's people for the
of true African Per-
sonality', he said Our organiza-
ton has representatives of 81 diff
ferent countries in Africa. If we
are to be a sohdified nation then
it will stem from the intellectual
discipline of our union here. We
plan Seminaries to discuss our fu-
ture in the space age and even
more important to assure the con-
tinuance of our cultural programs"
$4,000 Budget
To attain this goal, Olatunji re
vealed that the union has a budget
of $4,000 for 1859, much of which
was contributed by a Philadelphia
who did not wish his name made
public but who has a sincere in
terest" in the perpetuation of AZ
riCan culture.
Drum Expert
Olatunji has already played a
major role in helping to acquaint
Americans with this culture. Rec
ognized as the foremost interpret
or of African music today, he has
waged a one-man battle here and
abroad to bring to the public the
and colorful beat of the
drum. Many recall his guest APP
pearance on the television show
ITO Tell The TRUTH. And later.
his successful three-week stay at
Radio City Music Hall in New
York, during which he was &C
claimed by publications around the
world
Snubbed By Negro Colleges
He proudly recalled that he even
got a call from Turkey asking
when he would be able to appear
there. Then, rather dejectedly, the
recollection that not a single Ne
gro college in the United States
had so much as approached him.
The brilliant New York University
was far from bitter over
the snub by Americas colored pop
ulation, and rather expressed pity
for the race.
Africa will continue to display
its culture until it is accepted,
recognized and respected. We will
have something to be proud of-a
culture of our own. A country with
out culture is like a tree without
wood. We want independence, yes,
