tive that the Negro youth of to-
day listen to their older racial
advisers and not try to graft
themselves onto something they
have not yet earned by their own
initiative and creative genius.
Last week a splendid young
Negro man with a fine voice APP
peared on Perry Como'S hour
and was well received by all
who listened to his singing be-
cause he had worked hard and
faithfully for the honor. He
graduated from Virginia State
College at Petersburg, Virginia.
and did graduate work in Bio
Chemistry in the University of
Pittsburgh. Pennsylvania. Soon
after completing his graduate
studies in Bio-C Chemistry, he
joined the Salk staff then trying
to find a serum to combat Polio
myelities among the children
and young people of this nation.
He now prefers music to Chem
iStry and will no doubt enrich
the cultural rating Of his people
because he struggled to enrich
his own life before asking for
recognition. So this young man
did not look past the job for the
reward as so many of his race
are now doing under the spuri-
GUS leadership seeking position
without any worthwhile recon-
mendahonS.

The whole point of those of Us
who oppose stand-taking by
ministers on these debated gen.
eralities is that they could do
so much better helping indi-
yiduals and creating in them the
moral standards that will let
them make right decisions for
themselves on the disputed is
sues. Certainly we are for
morality and religion IN political
life. but by way of individuals
who have learned from t h e r
ministers to carry moral and
religious concern through all
lifes aspects without being told
by these ministers how God
stands on the redlscount rate, of
the Federal Reserve Bank.
There is a Gods side on this
rediscount rate. I have no doubt,
but I just simply don't believe
God has told any of his mini
sters what the rate should be
or what the economic system
should be. or the political set
up, or social arrangement, or

many unStated and good reasons
why they should get off Of the
Communistic low road and back
onto the private initiative high
road - the American way = if
they would create a more fruit

Communism feeds upon ignor-
ance. poverty. economic distress
and confusion of minds. It de-
stroys private initiative. private
property and the right to make
our own choices and express our
own desires. It murders indi-
viduality and relegates people to
the ranks of followers - never
leaders.
Therefore, l urge again that
our Negro youth stop looking for
quick and untenable answers to
their problems and 60 to work,
with all their might, on long
range reforms inspired and d.
rected by their own trustworthy
leaders. Still water runs deep
but babbling brooks rarely ever
reach the sea. There are many

under the American sense of
freedom have the right to pri-

as the Black man fails to dig

opposition to any sort of grating

On the other hand. l do not
know of a single white man or
woman who would not rejoice
to see Am erican Negroes
through industry and devotion
to their racial heritage rise to
splendid heights in this country.
The opposition arises from the
fact that the present Negro lead
ership is trying to force a stan
dard OF life from the more en-
terprising whites for the less en-
terprislng colored. And such tao
tics as the new phase of racial
battle now proposes will lead to

Letter To The Editor

EJullUI VI lle l1cI dlu.
The new offensive of the Negro
youth of this nation, aided and
abetted by the NAACP and the
Core, to graft their order of
life onto the white peoples order
of life by means of walk-in and
sit down protests, patterned
after the fasts and non violent
opposition OF Mahatnla Gandhi
of India to English rule is APP
preaching a serious stage where
the participants will begin TO
lose ground rapidly unless a new
and better approach is discover
ed. Let it be remembered that
America pleads only for equality
Of opportunity never equality
by force or intimidation.
Mr.. Gandm contended that
Western commercial SordidneSS
was incompatible with the soul
communing Spirit of OrenitaliSm
and for that reason India must
be released by England to pur-
sue her own spiritual, economic
and political life. The Indian
people under Gandhi's leader
ship sought only the right to
guide and produce for them
selves = not to copy or graft
their way Of life or mingle their
racial blood and habits with that
of the British people. And India
is now. with American help,
working diligently, if not desper.
ately. to pull her people out Of a
slough of ignorance and eco
nonic distress in order To pre-
sent them to the world as a pro
ductive and self sufficient PEG
pie: they are proud of their
racial heritage and propose to
keep it pure and clean under
their own power.
Most of the outstanding Negro
educators, including Booker T.
Washington and George Wash
ington Carver, who did so much
for their people and humanity
as a whale never encouraged
Negro youth to believe that they
could climb to the cultural and
economic level of their white
neighbors with ono bound and

Reading And TV.

NOT so very long ago a prominent
educator warned that the television
craze, if it continues with the present
level Of programs will make us "a
nation of morons.''
The doctor deplored the lazy short
cuts that fool student into thinking
he is learning when he is not, refer
ring particuly to television. "The
habit of reading is a sine qua non
of intelligence" declared the doctor,
who thought that too much Deepen
dence on television will make impos-
sible the formation of good reading
habits by young people.
The educator has something to
worry about if television will prevent
the young people of this nation from
developing the habit of reading. 1t is
quite possible for a man or woman
to pick up a smattering collection of
information on televion, through the

The Promise of Eternity

FASTER, celebration Of the most i'm
portant event in Christianity, should
stimulate thought on Christians faith
in his religion
The bogus trial of Christ in the week
preceding his crucifixion, when he was
finally surrendered to mob of his own
people, is history's greatest miscarriage
of justice. In it may be found the count
erpart of other travesties which have
and may yet affect human history.
Justice is not found in mob hysteria,
nor political pressures and consider
alton. In such courts it is not surprising
that He should have been handed over
to the mob for crucifixion
In the historical events which fol-
lowed, His death, His resurrection, come
the fulfilment of the promise of atone
ment and eternal life in the spirit.
Those who believe, those who have
faith, those who accept the Savior, find
a spiritual happiness in life and an
assurance in the world to come There

brother Vncente Yanez Pinzon captains respectively

Today the town of Paos SemtrOpical with Its palm

only the fact that Columbus sailed from there, but that
it gave its own sons the Pinzons to the famous exped
ton Before Columbus made his splash in Palos, the
Pinzons were successful shipping magnaes concerned
mainly with trade. Only after Columbus negotiated
contract with Ferdinand and Isabella in the spring OF
1892 did the PnzonS enter the picture BY royal Decree
the town of Palos ordered to provide ships for
Columbus's voyage Fears and resentment ran high
among shipping and sailors against signing on

world The Pinzons finally persuaded to cast their
lot with Columbus and their decision gave them
