fun-loving ISLANDS, but this
business of becoming a State
promises to top them all.
We recall landing smack in
the middle Of a celebration on
the big Island" of Hawaii last
June, in the Kona Coast village
of Kailua, with one Of the most
beautiful harbors we had yet
seen.
This was King Kamehameha
Day, with q pageantry and
program every bit, and more,
as colorfSI as the New Years
Day RoN Bowl festivities at
Pasaden,.
The Asona Coast is rich in
Hawaiian history.
At Kailua is the birthplace
of King Kamehameha, the Ha-
waiian strong man who pulled
the islands under one rule a
few short years before they be-
came tied in with United States
history. On this site the King
Kamehameha Hotel is rising.
Christian Influence
Here, in the 10Th Century,
American missionaries took
Christianity to the Hawaiians.
Standing as evidence Of their
early work is the white spire Of
Mokuaituaa Church.
This is the area in which
the world explorer, Captain
James Cook, met his downfall.
He was killed by the islanders,
and the spot where he tumbled
into the sea is marked by a
monument viewed best from a
boat.
Capt. Cook was never a man
to overlook an opportunity.
When the islanders treated
him as a god, he accepted their
plaudits, and lived in regal
splendor. But on his return
some months later, the island
ers had become disenchanted,
and the captain was killed in
a mundane dispute over long
boat.
A short drive away, along the
lower coast, Is Kealekekua, site
of the Little Grass Shack"
Along the route are the ruins
Of ancient pagan rock temples.
Here also is the City Of
Refuge at Honaunau. This is
where fugitives were given
sanctuary from native tribal
retribution. It is now a ma
tional park.

Powell Effort,..
(Contip,1ad from paua Ouol

But even if Powell's proposal
cleared the House, key lawmakers
said it would be knocked off by
the Senate. The Negro Congress
man has tried unsuccessfully in
the past to add anti-discrimination
amendments to housing legislation.
His latest measure would re-
quire applicants for federal hous-
ing administration mortgages on
rental housing to promise not to
discriminate against tenants be-
cause of race. The mortgage would
be cancelled if they did discrimi-
nate.
One key COP congressman said
large number of Republicans
might back Fowell's move merely
to block passage of the housing
bill and force Democrats to write
a new one with less federal-sub-
sidized public housing.
Democrats claim their program
would cost $2,1OO,OOO.OOO, or 440
million dollars more than Eisen-
hover asked but smaller than
Senate-passed version. Republi-
cans say the plan actually would
cost another $3,700,0O0,OOO over as
years for 10000 units of public
housing.

Congo-A Further Look
The Christian Science Monitor

Inc CHRISTIAN Science Monitor
The suddenness of the African uprisngs in the Bel
glan Congo produced in Belgium response which some
European observers called penitent 1t included criti
clsm of Belgian colonial policy in the Belgian Para-
ment and press And it accompanied by plans for
setting up local governing bodies through elections and
program, undated, for Congoese independence
economic recession appears to have touched off
the riots that exposed the weaknesses in the Congolese
situation Recent reports indicate that Belgian inter
ests are stepping up investment and slum-cearng pro-
ects and are studying heretofore neglected analyses of
the divisions of wealth between the $4,000 900 At
r1can people there and the small European minority
All this is to the good But since the economic posi-
tlon OF the Congolese natives not kept at level
which precuded the political tides from other areas of
Independence Africa washing into the Con-
CO. may be doubted whether mainly economic reforms
will now turn the waves back
lt Is interesting to note that the Congos local cleo
tons are to take place in 1860 That is the year in which
the Cameroons Nigeria, and Somala are scheduled for
independence This to reflect Belgian awareness
That the Congo will again be insulated from de-
velopments In other African regions.
It may be hoped this awareness will at least equal
British and French perception of the need to cooperate
with Africans in setting up national as we'll as local
units of sefgovernment and in trying to supplant old
colonial ties with new bonds between equal self
governing peoples.

DIR. Bunche's BIRMINGHAM Speech

No American statesman politician, private citi-
Zen has had greater opportunity to observe and study
the economic, social and political conditions of the
various people and nations of the world particularly
in those where dwells the great bulk of the
worlds colored people, than Dr. Ralph j. Bunche winner
of the 1850 Nobel Peace Prize for his work in bring
ing between the Arabs and Jews in Palestine and
who is now Undersecretary of the United Nations.
Over in Birmingham Alabama, the other day, DIR.
Bunche made speech on the general subject of
relations and venture the conclusion that he knew
exactly what he was talking about when he said,-
From the world perspective the American Negro is
we'll off, better off, indeed than most non-white and
very many white people,"
In reading the speech it became readily apparent
to US, as should to everyone else of ordinary in
tegence that Dr. Bunche in his reference to the con-
dltlon OF the American Negro talking about
thing that exists now, presently, and not some hoped
for ethiopian ideastc condition of the future born
mostly in the minds of those who refuse to read the
signs of history and who have little no regard for
reality.
The American Negro is beset and is being bewild-
limited view, and limited experience takes them only
to the yesterdays of relations in the United States
particularly in the South.
There is an old and odd saying that when you are
doing WE'LL and set out to do better it should always be
remembered that after better comes worse.
In the light of DR.. Bunche's Birmingham speech
and considering the depth of wisdom and philosophy in
the above saying Negroes in Mississippi we'll as else
where IN the United States less what is being called
better turn out to be should look we'll at those
VINO are now leading them less they cause them to
stray forever from the path of ner-racal GOODWILL in
ter-raclal cooperation, and progress.

REV. JOHN R. PERKINS
WALK ON YOUR SIDE OF THE
ROAD
Train your child to meet a car
Never walk on the other side
They walk all over the road
Trying to thumb a ride.
1t ought to be National Law
No thumbing rides on highways
Thousands lose their lives on the
And the drivers suffer the pay.
There are millions trying to get a
free ride
Something for nothing want pay
Sometime you are riding with a
stick-up-man
That's making his get away.
It's best to offer your sorrow
To a walker on his way
Than pick up thousands of thumb
erS
Who never intend to pay.
People who thumb rides all the
times
Are not the thrifty man
They are looking for something for
nothing
And ticket to the Promise Land.
Why strengthen the hands of evil
When the Bible makes you to know
Evil is nothing but an enemy
Loafing from door to door.
The Bible says to train the child
Yet you feed them and grow them
up
Someday they will come to that
bitter land
And don't want to drink of that
cup.
That cup of death is waiting
1t is hard to sip or drink
When your child you fail to train
them
And for that bitter cup they will
shrink.
1 am giving you all the truth
1t is time to watch and pray
You need not expect your child to
be saved
And allowing them to go astray.
Mother train your child today
Father you do the same
The teachers are only educating
the child.
But the mother and father are to
do the training.
