Treasury Officials .
Clarity Position on
Gold Possession

WASHINGTON, Up = Treasury
officials disagreed with a pub
lished report that it is illegal to
arrest person for having melted
gold in his possession.
Leland Howard, Assistant Di-
rector of the Mint, conceded there
are no criminal penalties in the
Gold Reserve Act of 1884. Under
this act, the civil penalty is con-
fiscation of the gold plus twice
it's value.
But, Howard pointed out, gold
regulations also are backed up by
the Trading with the Enemy Act
of 1917 carrying criminal penalty
up to 10 years Imprisonment and
$4,000 fine. In addition, he said,
there are criminal penalties for
conspiracy and for violation of
customs laws in the import and
export of gold.
The Treasury official was asked
to comment on an article by G.. R.
Watson of Olympia, Wash, in the
May issue of the California Min
ing Journal.
ut is" he said, 1894 per cent
incorrect"
Possession of newly mined
gold in its natural state is not il
legal. But its processing by melt
ing or treatment with chemicals
or other means, except under
Treasury license, is forbidden.
Howard and Treasury attorneys
said the constitutionality of the
Gold Reserve Act and the author
ity of the government to regulate
newly mined gold was upheld
most recently in an Oregon case
involving Gladys Laycock in
which the Supreme Court sus-
tanned review in January of this
year. They said there is no fur
ther litigation pending.
An earlier Washington State
case, testing current applicability
of the Trading with the Enemy
Act, was dropped in 1859 when
the defendant pleaded guilty of
possessing gold bullion, they said.
Treasury attorneys concede the
1917 act is applicable only in
period of national emergency pro-
claimed by the President. But,
they said, there has been con-
tinuing series of emergency pro-
Carnations since 1888, and the lat
est is not yet terminated.
Incidentally, possession of gold
coins minted prior to April S,
1888, is no longer illegal provided
they are not mutilated by pune
ture or soldered into jewelry or
other objects. In 1854, the Treas
ury recognized all such outstand-
ing coins as having special value
to collectors and they were ex-
empted from the 1898 order that
they be delivered to the Treasury.

Office OF Senator Ernest Gruening)
WASHINGTON-The research
division of the National Educa-
ton Association last week pub
lished information from NEA
headquarters here on school stat
istics and teachers salaries, in
which interesting data concerning
Alaska are revealed.
The 49th State leads the nation,
for example, in the number of
school age children per 1000 pop
ulation, with 947 children for
each 1000 adults (the national av-
erage is 470 per 1000 while it
trails all other states in total
number of school age children,
with $4,000. The average Alaskan
of Is years of age or older has
completed lib years of school,
compared with the national av-
erage of 9.3, while 45.2 per cent
of Alaskans have completed four
years of high school, at age 25
(the national average is $3.50.
Alaska ranks sixth with a popu-
lation percentage of IA who have
completed four or more years of
college (the national average is
6 per cent?.
Again, Alaska leads in the per-
centage increase in public ele-
mentary and secondary school en-
rollment in the decade from
1949-5O to 1959-6O, with 1924 per
cent (the national average in
crease in the ten-year period is
44.4 per cent?. Also, Alaska has
the highest percentage of school
age population compared with
total civilian population in the
state, 30.8 per cent (the national
average is PAD.
Teachers in Alaska are far
ahead of teachers in the rest of
the nation as far as salaries are
concerned, the states average sal
airy for Institutional staff in pub
lie schools being $500, while the
national average is $3.50. 1t is
recognized, of course, that because
of Alaska's high level of living
costs, salaries buy less in the 49th
State and need to be higher than
elsewhere.

Negro could never accommodate himself to the mega
tivism involved in accepting his condition here or
accepting the ungracious invitation to leave He is
too much of American to do that. He is keenly
that his investment of three centuries of serv
ice and labor in the building of this country has
placed him at the center of the great American
Experiment If his services have not been more efi-
GENTLY utilized, the fault lies not with him but with
the racst considerations that have often consigned
him tasks below his capacities. He is determined to
realize the fullest returns his investment and to
his full rights human being and as
citizen. If he did not make such approach to his
problems he would fail to grasp the magnificent I'M
plications of the American dream with it's promises
of justice and equality.
Not only does his Americanism compel the Negro
to strive to improve his status by demanding the
rights that his. 1t also gives him, it gives to
others committed to the ideals set forth IN the Amer
can dream, burning desire to make the system work.
He is the acid test of the system, and he knows it.
This knowledge gives him sense OF his own strategic
Importance in program to push the dream closer
to realization. Whether it is in drive for fair en-
ployment desegregated education universal suffrage
or decent democratic housing the Negro fully appre
ciates the implications for American democracy that
are involved in such efforts He is proud American
who wants to make Amercanism work.
The Negro proud, moreover, of the role of leader
ship his country plays in world affairs. He knows
that this leadership is greatly affected, even ham,
pered, by the denials of his rights. Cautious
Americans quick to warn that Ncalamities" such
as strikes and imitation do much to destroy this
country the active efforts of it's enemies In the
context of the struggle for world leadership the
shortcomings of the economic system, however seri-
Gus, hardly comparable to the shortcomings of
our democratic practices. The insult to black
cabinet minister from Ghana who evicted from
a Delaware restaurant did incaculable damage to
American prestige and leadership abroad And a
White House breakfast the following morning did not
repair the damage. Darker peoples around the globe
know that that restaurant and thousands like it in
the United States stand symbols of insults to
eighteen million Negro citizens and to billion or
so darker peoples elsewhere The only way such dam
age be repaired is in the eradication of racist
symbols and practices. To this task the American
Negro is irrevocably dedicated.

Free World be least proud is the uncon-
u scionable treatment of it's Negro citizens. The
defense is sometimes offered that such treatment is
not national policy and that the Constitution throws
it's protection around all citizens regardless of
But such defense neither comforts the Negro victim
nor budges the nations critics. The grim facts of
shabby treatment of the denial of basic human rights
are infinitely more impressive than mere theoretical
arguments about what the Constitution and can
not do.
When the Negro seeks employment commensurate
with his abilities listen to the sickening that
actually tell him that proficiency is unimpOrtant
when it is not clothed in white skin. Notice how in
places he is mobbed and even shot if he attempts
to fulfill the sacred citizenship responsibility of vot
ing. See how he is shunted into ghettoes where he is
all but helpless against the real estate groups and
lending agencies that are determined to keep him
there and exploit him. Observe in a thousand Gre
spectacle, God-fearing' American communities how
the Negro traveller is insulted and driven out if he
seeks sleeping, eating, toilet facilities,
though he had physical powers not possessed by
others Go to the reotest regions of the land North
South, and talk with Negro. He will have
incredible story to tell of cruel heartess insults he
must endure part of his normal" existence in
the land of his birth.
And it is not merely the big insults in employment,
housing; and voting that the Negro must endure. 1t
is also the subtle, yet ruthless forms of discrmina
tion that have been developed into fine art that he
is constantly forced to face. It is the seating of
Negro party near the service door of exotic New
York restaurant, whose proprietor migrated to this
country since World War I. 1t is the mo vacancy"
sign that is flashed in Michigan motel when Negro
family drives up. It is the special arrangements
made for the attendance of Negroes at an indie
pendence Day celebration in Texas Georgia for
the Negro scholar who wants to do research in pub
lie building in North Carolina 1t is the thousand
and ways, employed in season and out taxing the
ingenuity of the most resourceful bgots that de-
signed to heap indgnities and insults the Negroes
of the country. These experiences and the question
of how to react to them constitute the great dilemma
of the Negro he seeks to understand his position
and his prospects in American life
HE PROBLEM is made easier the Negro realizes
that he is pariah His acceptability attested

literally-by the enormous mulatto progeny spawned

in the wombs of black women. His claim to secure
place in the American social order was strengthened
by the sacrifices of many thousands of his black
brothers who gave their loyal services and their
lives in all the nations His right to equal
treatment in every respect was written into the su-
preme law of the land Yet he has seen his claims
denied and his constitutional rights outed by those
who profess to live under government of laws How
can he retain his sanity and how he react intel
gently and constructively in the face of such arul
Illustrations?
If the Negro despairs, we told he has reason
to do so. Have not Negroes made remarkable prog
ress since emancipation? Look at Ralph Bunche,
Marian Anderson, and Jackie Robinson. Their
achievements outstanding by any standards. But
neither of these observations could hardly be con-
vncing of anything. The Negro did not emerge from
barbarism in 1866. He had lived in the American
vronment for centuries before emancipation and had
contributed to and assimiated much of the civiza-
tion Of which he was an integral part. He emerged
from literacy and slavery in 1866 because the laws
that protected those conditions collapsed the end
of the war. The Negro was then able to participate
fully in civilization that itself did not become
worthy being called civilization until the barbarism
of slavery was eradicated AS for the Bunches, An
dersons and Robnsons, they the exception that
proved the rule. The rule to be found in the
countless young Negroes in Little Rock and Harlem,
Charleston and Chicago, who never had chance
simply because they Negroes.
As THE NEGRO seeks to maintain some balance in
the face of the difficulties he experiences in his native
land he is not consoed by those who remind him that
his condition, however unsatisfactory, is better than
it would be anywhere else in the world Even if that
assertion true it is quite irrelevant, since the
Negro does not judge his condition by the plight of
the slaves of Russia the impoverished millions of
India the hapless victims of South African bar
barism Rather he judges his condition by the con-
dtion of his fellow citizens and by the promises and
guarantees his country makes to him. Nor is he
impressed by the naughty presumption of those who
invite him to go back to Africa if he is not salts
fed with things as they in the United States. 1t
is like inviting your next door neighbor to move
when he complains that your overgrown persists
in bullying his children. Forty years ago James
Weldon Johnson gave the classic answer to such
arrogance when he said
This land is By right of birth,
This land is ours By right of toI...
