Board Of Trustees Decide To Table

Of Resignation Offer Made By The

of why he sent a letter to board
members in early April offering
to resign.
He explained that he wants bet
ter classrooms and better faculty
salaries to retain and attract the
best Institutional personnel. The
students cheered this statement of
his goals as DR.. Moron stressed
that to realize progress in these
areas would take money
81 did not offer to resign because
l am tired" he said, "but because
l thought we were not making
progress fast enough. If / can't see
these things coming, then l am 60
ing to resign"
The president acknowledged to
the students that the last 10 years,
during which he has headed the
91-year old college, have not been
easy. "They have taken great
deal of concentration and hard
work. l know that l have made
enemies because | have been
in hurry to improve and have
been impatient to- achieve prog
ress for the college.
81 am certain that we will all
get the benefit of the best judg-
ment of the wise people on the
board. Be assured that they will
have the interest of the student
body and the college at heart.
"What you are doing here will
remain as one of the most pleasant
and moving memories l can ever
hope to have" he concluded, stand
ing at his wife's side.
About $50 students took part in
a second demonstration at noon
the next day. Their singing in
front of the college auditorium
could be heard in the board meet
ing room, about so yards away in
the administration building.
DR.. Moron, an alumnus of Hamp-
ton Institute, joined the college
staff in 1916 as consultant in bust
ness management and became bust
ness manager in 1947. He was
named acting president in 1913 and
the board made his appointment
permanent the following year.
He secured the Bachelors de-
gree from Brown University, and
the Masters from the University
of Pittsburgh He earned the LIB.
from Harvard University and was
awarded the LID. by Brown and
by Wilberforce Universities.

Just how successful he will be
in attracting capitalistic interest
in country where the government
press is continually talking about
"the socialist revolution which is
unfolding in modern Ghana" is con-
jectural. DR.. Nkurmah has prom
Used full guarantees however, to
private investments.
The Prime Minister has said he
wants to see 600 new enterprises
started in Ghana during the next
five years, the period set for the
billion dollar second development
plan.
In seeking the expansion of over
seas investment, DR.. Nkrumah
said there would be no discrimina-
ton against any nation and invit-
ed visits from foreign trade mis-
sions.
Russian and Yugoslav trade mis-
sions arrived recently and have
talked with government officials.
There has been no announcement
of concrete results.
The British, who gave Ghana
here freedom two years ago after
years of colonial rule, have heavy
investments in the country. They
also have many technical experts
at work assisting the government
administration.
An Israeli team is helping on
water supplies and resettlement
problems and India has furnished
experts to work on Ghana's rail-
way system.
Agriculture is about 80 per cent
of the Ghanaian economy and a
United States mission of AZ ex-
perts is active all over the country,
irving to improve it and increase
productivity.
Under the development plan,
about 70 million dollars will be de-
voted to agriculture and natural
resources. A similar amount is ear
marked for developing industry and
trade.
Among other planned invest
ments are: 140 million dollars III
communications, and 1913 million
for health, sanitation and water
supplies.
The largest single item in the
plan is $50 million dollars fol-
hydroelectric projects, including
the long studied damming OF the
Volta River and the use of its pow
er for development of an aluminium
industry. There are large deposits
of bauxite nearby.
To meet the cost of this billion
dollar program, the government re-
ported it could count only on to-
tai of 252 million available now

Diggs, a former state represent
ative, said he selected Vicksburg
because "it is the site of a major
battle of the bloody conflict which
brought an end to slavery, and
produced the mighty union of
states that we have today"
He decided to hold the march
Nov. II, Armistice Day, because
at is the solemn holiday on which
our nation salutes the young men,
both black and white, who died
that we might move ahead toward
the Democratic goal of freedom
and equal justice for all men"
Holland commented that such a
march might be appropriate in
Diggs' home state because OF
"many instances of race riots and
mass violence in Michigan"

Now how can the city live without

It's great significance however, is twofod The plan

House Calls for Stepped-Up Fed. Highway Program

WASHINGTON, R-The House Public Works Committee yester- day called for continuation of the interstate highway program at a high-level rate of construction for the next 13 years.
 In so doing, the committee left it up to Congress to find revenues to finance the program.
 Yesterdays action tossed back at the House Ways and Means Committee a revenue-slashing plan that would virtually halt the federal-state interstate network next year and slow it down there after.
 President Eisenhower had asked for an increase of 112 cents a gallon in the federal gasoline tax.
 The Ways and Means Commit tee, which is charged with raising the necessary revenues, has turned down any tax incrase and voted instead to tide the program over it's current financial crisis through a special billion-dollar bond issue These bonds would be retired by the 10 per cent manufacturers exise tax on new automobiles.
 The Public Works Committee, which fixes the rate of construc- tion, rejected the Ways and Means Committee plan.
 For the next nine years the public works plan proposes to keep construction going at the rate of $2,2OO,O 100000 a year.

 The House bill, introduced by Rep. Ralph Rivers, would make the limits 1O,24O, plus 5,120 at the discretion of the Interior Sec retary.

Mailman Who
 Threatened Ike Kills Old Folks

PHILADELPHIA, LR "A mad man fired repeated shotgun blasts into crowded dining room of a home for the aged yesterday, kill ing two of the residents and wounding four others.
 He was then wounded and cap tured in a battle with expert po- lice riflemen.
 The gunman, Kyrlo Czupirczuk, 52, an unemployed carpenter, had been placed in an institution earlier this year after sending threatening letters to President Eisenhower. He was released in April.
 He babbled incoherently after his capture and police were un- able to determine what imagined wrong led to his outburst.
 ''I shoot Communist" he ex- plained. q don't shoot police. Po- lice shot me. Communists radiate me. They bother me"
 That was his complaint in a letter he wrote last January to President Eisenhower. The letter asked the President to do some thing about the "radioactivity around his house." He was sure the Communists had something to do with it.
 He even went to Washington, but he was arrested by Secret Service agents and sent to men tai institution, St. Elizabeth's Hospital, Washington.
 "He showed no homicidal ten dencies when he was released in May" a hospital official said.
 About 150 residents of the Up town Home for the Aged were gathered for breakfast in the first-floor dining room when the gun blasts started from the ad- joining home were Szupirczuk lives.
 Shotgun pellets shattered win dows and sprayed residents of the home. Several fell to the floor Others ran in wild confusion. Some of the more elderly and in firm sat stunned.
 An employe of the privately operated home for Jewish people, Gorge Simms, 50, arrived for work at the height of the shooting. He became the target, but escaped harm and called police.

 No damage was done.
