Av. s., returned home Friday from
her travels on the Iron Range with
Team No. 8, holding vacation
church school Institutes, one Of
the big projects Of the Minnesota

These institutes train leaders

School (V.C.S.), fills a real need
as it has been said that a good
V.C.S. answers the same purpose
as a whole year of Sunday School.
The Minnesota Council Of
churches with headquarters at 122
w. Franklin Av., has as its presi-
dent the Rev. Hayden Strike and
the Rev. Leo Kisrow is director
of religious education. Under the
direction Of these men, their as

Clergyman. Son Of
Bishop R0ines In Plea
For UNDERSTANDING

Cleveland, Ohio. - The son Of
Methodist bishop, and pastor of
the Aldersgate Methodist Church
in warrensville Heights, a local
suburb, called for increased social
relationships to pave the way for
peaceful Indignation Of Negroes, in
a Palm Sunday sermon.
He is the Rev. Robert A. Raines,
son Of Bishop Richard Q. Raines,
head Of the Indiana Area Of The
Methodist Church. Bishop Raines
is former pastor Of Hennepin
Methodist church.
Noting that already a few Ne
groes are living in neighboring
Shaker Heights and Orange VII
lage, the minister said: I'VE don't
need to panic. We can prepare; we
can get ready, and we can grow
in understanding.
He told of tentative plans to en-
roll some Negro children and to
place a Negro teacher on the staff
of the Aldersgate Church's daily
vacation Bible school this summer.
The Negro children will come, he
explained, from the Parl1wood
Christian Methodist Church, 1O915
Morrison Avenue, NE. The two
congregations have maintained reg
ular exchanges of their ministers,
choirs and representatives Of their
congregations over the last four
years.
The Rev. Mr.. Raines asked that
these exchanges be increased, as
well as interracial fellowship of
the churches several organizations,
such as youth and women's groups,
which were begun about three
years ago.
The minister also urged his
church members to invite their
Negro friends to their homes and
to worship with them in church
He asked the church members to
speak up for the right whenever
the subject Of Negroes was
brought up in conversation, to re-
fuse to enter into "gentlemen's
agreements" or to go along with
restrictive covenants in housing,
to work for integrated housing and
fair housing legislation, including
that now being considered by the
Cleveland City Council.
Assailing the fear that property
values decrease when Negroes
move into a community, the cler-
gyman quoted from recent Plain
Dealer editorial that related, that
in six cities where areas changed
from white to integrated, prices
of homes either increased or stayed
the same in S7% of the neighbor-
hoods studies.
OF the fear that more intermar-
riages might result from better
race relations, the Rev. Mr.. Raines
held this was not a realistic fear
and certainly was no justification
for denying the Negro the right
to live where he can afford to and
to have a job for which his educa-
ton and training entitle him.
If one Is inclined to draw the
line at intermarriage, this is no
right to draw the line to the Ne
gro's other rights, the courageous
young clergyman said.
Referring to the cross atop the
church, Rev. Mr.. Raines conclud-
ed: I'VE hold this up for the COM
munity and the world to see. II
we want to avoid being hypocrites,
we've got to live accordingly, be-
ing willing to face whatever suffer-
ing and disfavor that may come
with living it,.

Albert Conus

TO me art is not solitary delight.
1t is a means of stirring the greatest
number of men by providing them with
a privileged image of our common Joys
and woes. Hence it forces the artist
not to isolate himself; it subjects him
to the humbleSt and most universal
truth. And the man who, as so often
happens, chose the path of art because
he was aware of the difference soon
learns that he can nourish his art, and
his difference, solely by admitting his
resemblance to ALL"
These are words from the lean and
lucid mind of Albert Camus, Nobel
literature prize winner in 1857, perhaps
the most towering figure in contempo-
rary writing, and now dead in a sense
less automobile accident in France.
No Nobel winner ever more clearly
stated his creed as artist or bespoke
the common responsibility of the philo-
Sophic-humanist mind in a time of
apparently endless, unrelieved crisis. It
is because of this, and the promise that
remained in his life at the age of 46,
that Camus death in traffic accident
is an irony Of such tragic, world-felt
anguish.

Atlas On Target

1t is reassuring, we suppose, to learn
from the President that our Atlas mis-
sile, flying over a 5000-mile range, has
been hitting on an average within two
miles of the target. Assuming hydro
gen warhead, this, for practical pur-
poses, is pinpoint accuracy. Even with
two-mile miss, there wouldn't be much
left of the target.
It is not so reasSuring, however, to
reflect on the point that in all probable
ity our degree of accuracy is at least
equaled by the Russians. And as Mr..
Eisenhower made clear, the United
States will not use its missiles and other
weapons except in defense"
What this presumably means is that,
In an all-out war, the Russians will
be permitted to strike. the first blow.
And our Atlas launching sites certainly
will be amona their prime targets. Fur
thermore, it takes time to launch an
Atlas, and the launching sites are vul-
nerable to missile attack.
So the accuracy of the Atlas, should
we be subjected to a surprise attack,
might mean little. Of what value is
accuracy in missile that can be de-
stroyed on the ground? What we des-
perately need is to get on with the

off the Beam

II Clarence Sayen, president of the
Air Line Pilots Association, was quoted
correctly in recent news story, he was
lar on the beam in accusing the Federal
Aviation Agency of petty, ridiculous
harassment" of airline pilots. And FAA
Administrator QueSada was completely
JUSTIFIED In rebuking him for what obvi-
ouSly was quite ridiculous charge.
Mr.. Sayen, who previously had de-
scribed as Childish geStapo program"
the efforts of the FAA to compel pilots to
comply with established safety rules, was
quoted as saying that FAA inspectors
are "haraSSing" pilots to such an extent
that ut is affecting their good judgment
and thus endangering lives" Mr.. Que
Sada has challenged Mr.. Sayen to back
up his accusation with facts, if any exist.
Facts on the other side, the FAA admin
tStrator said, are that FAA inspectors
during 1859 rode with flight crews only
two-tenthS Of l per cent of the total
hours flown and that these inspection
flights have been standard procedure"
for two decades. Frankly" he added,
i have serious doubts that this inspec-
ton program is adequate to meet the
needs of public safety" This suggests
the need for larger inspection staff.
We are sure the travelling public would
not regard as childish or ridiculous any
move by the FAA to expand its efforts
to enforce strict observance of safety
rules among airliner crews.

Our Lag in Space

LII. dOIner Z. NeWeL, IT., or the
National AeronauticS and Space Admin
iStration has drafted a background"
report meriting the attention of all
Americans interested in the compara-
tive positions of the United States and
the Soviet Union in the high heavens.
For the report, although dry as dust in
many respects, has the virtue of being
briet clear and instructive enough to
serve as an effective warning to ANYBODY
who may tend to be complacent about
what is going on in this field
AS pointed out by Dr. Newell, who
is NASA'S assistant director for space
sciences, our country is doing we'll in a
number of important particulars. BY
way of illustration, we appear to be
about on par with the USSR in upper
air research, and we may be slightly
ahead in our satellite studies of the
earth'S environS. Similarly, our minia-
turized Instrumentation for Spatial We
hicleS is at least equal to that of Russia's,
and probably is somewhat better. AS
for our scientists, their basic know-how
in the field is second to none Never
theleSS, reassuring as all this is, DR..
NeWell'S report leaves no room for doubt
about the following:
The big advantage the Soviets have
-. Is their greater payload capacity.
In deep space probe work the USSR has
definitely taken the lead This is directly
attributed to their clear lead in vehicle
technology. The conclusion follows
then that the side that has the more ad-
vanced technology in the way of payload
capabilities guidance ct cetera, will have
the distinct edge and by virtue of the in
creased flexibility and capabilities provided
by the more advanced technology will
forge steadily ahead Thus, one may pre-
dict time lead in vehicle technology will
be transformed into corresponding time
lead in the exploration and Investigation
OF outer space.
This is gap we cannot close in
hurry, no matter how much money
Congress may appropriate for the pur-
pose. Our lag here mot to be confused
with what some experts regard as our
necK-and-neck race with the Russians
for operable intercontinental ballistic
miSsileS) results from the fact that we
started moving into space six or seven
years after the Soviets, and we will need
more than a little time to catch up with
them. 1t may take us at least until
1868, for example, to equip ourselves
with rocket booster systems as powerful
or as reliable as theirs Meanwhile, as
DR.. Newell has suggested, they are likely
to score other spectacular "firsts"
against us, including perhaps putting
men in orbit long before we do.
1t would be grievous mistake, how
ever, to conclude that we have already
lost the race. Actually, as DR.. Newell
and every other expert on space will tes-
tify, we are still at the beginning of that
race, still running the first lap. Hence
we need not fear the final outcome if we
do Whatever is necessary now, whatever
is possible within the bounds of common
sense and scientific practically, to in
sure against finishing up second.

Sisyphus and Steel

The unfortunate death Of
Albert Camus at the time of
the settlement of the steel
strike is ironical. The "ab-
surdity and hopeleSsness" of
Camus' philosophy of life is
evident as the steel union
obtains another unwarranted
pay increase which probably
will be passed on to the con-
sumner by management, after
the November elections.
Many of us are experience
ing the feelings of Sisyphus
rolling the stone up the
mountain, as we realize that
in two and one-half years
when the present steel pact
expires, this Nation will again
be exactly where it started
at the bottom Of the
mountain.

I am writing to inform DR..
B. S. Fortner Of some Of the
historic facts concerning the
rebirth of the state of Israel.
Jewish colonization in
Palestine began in the l880S
but the main development
began after World War I. Let
us see what the condition of
Palestine was at this time.
The late Supreme Court
Justice Louis D. Brandeis was
asked whether he still favored
Palestine as a suitable place
for Jewish settlement, after
seeing the country infested
with malarial swamps, bar
rem and undeveloped, with no
schools, no hospitals to speak
of. few roads, and little civil
ization.
To this Brandeis replied
that he was even more
strongly convinced that it
should become the Jewish
homeland.
II have seen the desolation
OF the land" he said. II have
noted the absence of schools,
of hospitals, of agriculture,
industry and commerce, of all
the civilized amenities. Had
I found them there, I should
have hesitated to recommend
Jewish settlement in Pales-
tine. One does not lightly
suggest taking a land away
from a people who have
cherished it and developed it.
But the very fact that it lies
neglected and in ruins, after
all these centuries, is proof
to me that Palestine has been
awaiting the return of the
Jews to their ancient land
to nurture it, build it, and
restore it to its former fruit
fulneSs and glory"
In its Survey of Palestine,
1916, the British Mandatory
Government stated that 10
per cent of Palestine land
was in the public domain. Of
the remaining 80 per cent,
approximately 10 per cent
vas owned by Jews. Thus
only about 20 per cent was
owned by Arabs. Much Of this
20 per cent is still. in the
hands of Arab citizens Of
