never part.
The young men parted as their
college days ended. But they kept
the ties of friendship strong
through correspondence between
the bustling Pennsylvania indus
trial valley where Mr.. Snowden had
located and Africa to which All
kiwe returned.
In 1854 the friends met briefly
again at the Lincoln University
centennial.
Azikiwe vowed that one day his
friend would come to Nigeria-as
his guest.
A few days ago, Mr.. Snowden
was amazed and delighted to re-
ceive a cablegram inviting him to
Lagos, the capital of Nigeria, on
November 16 to attend the inaugu-
ration of Mr.. Azikiwe as governor
general Of Nigeria and commander
in chief of that nations armed
forces. A former British colonly
on the African East Coast, Nigeria
has just achieved independence.
To be present at such an historic
occasion was honor indeed for a
man who had spent the last 27
years toiling in the steel mill to
make ends meet while he preached
the gospel in churches unable to
pay him in much more than graft
tude and respect.
But the question was-how could
Mr.. Snowden obtain the necessary
passport, visa, transportation and
all the other needs in time to be in
Lagos on November 16.
A longtime member of Local
1911, United Steelworkers of Am
erica, Mr.. Snowden took the prob
lem to his union.
Things happened-and fast.
Acting Director Kay Kluz, of
USWA District 20 in which Local
1911 is the biggest local, phoned
Vice President Howard R. Hague,
in charge Of international affairs
for the USWA by direction of
President David J. Mcdonald.
Mr.. Hague put Meyer Bernstein,
USWA foreign relations represen-
tative in Washington, to work. The
required documents were obtained
in less time than it takes to tell.
Travel arrangements were made
just as speedily.
"My union has helped me and my
people in many ways, in the field of
civil rights and in the mills where
we can hold any job for which we
can qualify by experience and SEN
iority," said Mr.. Snowden. "But
am more than forever grateful to
the union for coming to my assist
ance in this instance"
Nor will Mr.. Snowden make the
trip merely as an individual. He
will carry credentials showing that
he is officially representing the
United States Steelworkers of Am
erica.
"I'm pleased with this extra
honor" said Mr.. Snowden. "Now
will not only represent my own peo-
pie but all of the people in my
union"
"This is the type of working
mans diplomacy which will be Of

Is No Simple Pill or Shot in Arm

Weight:
Extra pounds frankly add up
to fewer years of life. Those
sneaky pounds over the years
can be avoided by eating q
little less as we grow older, or
increasing activity, or both.
Extra steps over a month can
easily burn up one pound OF
excess fat.
Smoking:
Studies Of death records and
Of living persons both indicate
the heavy Smoker-two packs a
day-runs about twice the risk
Of heart attacks as the light
smoker, or non-smoker or pipe
smoker, said DR.. Thomas R.

Blood pressure:
High blood pressure increases
chances of heart attacks. Ele-
waited pressure usually can be
brought down.
All the above elements ap-
pear to play some greater or
lesser role in bringing on
coronaries, the authorities feel.
Combinations of them can

tice has long been under 9

have been conflicting lower
court opinions as to the con-
Stitutionality of such laws, but
the Supreme Court has never
ruled on the issue.
Other Court Actions
In other actions today the
Supreme Court:
/. Agreed to review a lower
court order halting louisiana s
efforts to force the National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People to
make public the names of its
members.
2. Denied a hearing to Alex
ander L. Guterma, under

of the Securities and Exchange
Act. Guterma was sentenced
to four years and II months
and fined $4,000 in a head
lined case involving his stock
manipulations in the F. l..

3. Agreed to examine the con-
stitutionality of Ohio's OBJ
scenity law which provides S
criminal penalties for anyone
who knowingly possesses OBJ
scene books or pictures.
Efforts of Alabama and the
city of Little Rock, Ark. to
force disclosure of the names
of NAACP members were fruS-
trated by previous Supreme
Court rulings. Louisiana tried
to obtain NAACP membership
lists under a rarely enforced
1924 law aimed originally at the
Ku Klux Klan, which provided
for a public listing of members
names.
A three-man panel of Federal
judges held that the NAACP,
however unpopular in Louisi-
ana" had not been shown to be
dedicated to unlawful intimida-
ton and violence, as has the
Ku Klux Klan.

Diet:
Cut down on fats, knock

eral, but do eat a varied diet
including protein, fruits and

Court Ends State
Boundary Dispute
BY the Associated Press

The Supreme Court today
ended a 4l-year-old boundary
dispute between Colorado and
New Mexico.
The court approved the line
of the 335-mile boundary as

ume sets of maps.
Neither Colorado nor New
Mexico filed any objections to
the report, and it was formally
approved as being in compli-
ance with a 1925 Supreme
Court decree in the case.
The litigation began in 1919
with a suit by New Mexico
against Colorado.
