Dear Friends:

that it wouldn't take much for the
whole place to slide into the ocean.

Protest Meetings Held
Mr.. Cheatham's resignation also
has been demanded by the board.
DR.. Davis has denied that he
misused any college money. Now
46 years old, he has been on the
campus since he was a student
there in 1888. He was a professor
until being promoted to president.
On the night after DR.. Davis
custer was announced, some 1000
of the colleges 1,400 students
gathered on the campus to shout
and chant in protest Of the action.
They have followed this with daily
protest meetings. The student
government association has petit
toned the board to reconsider.
Ninety per cent Of the faculty
have signed petitions asking that
DR.. Davis be kept in charge. Other
apport for the president has come
from the Arkansas (Negro) Teach
ers Association, the Pine Bluff
chapter of the National Council
of Negro Women and a Negro
ministers alliance at Pine Bluff
DR.. C. E. Flowers, president of
the alumni association, has issued
a statement calling for the immed-
late dismissal of DR.. Davis and an
investigation to clear up the con-
fusion at the college. He said in
effect that the welfare of the COL
lege was more important than that
of an individual.
The controversy at the college
comes only few weeks before
the Arkansas Legislative Council
begins hearings on budget requests
by state agencies for the 1961-63
biennium.
Through the years the college
has drawn larger appropriations
than the other state colleges in
what legislators describe as an
effort to insure that Arkansas
lives up to the separate but
equal" concept.

work on behalf Of the Republican
Party.
The Vice President not only
completely ignored Mr.. Howard
in his speech, but he also COM
pletely ignored the long and color

Republicanism in the state after
the Civil War saw four Negro Re-
publicans. from Mississippi serve
in the Congress of the United
States, Hiram r. Revels and
Branch X. Bruce in the United
States Senate, and John R. Lynch
and Jim Hill in the House of Rep
resentatives of the United States.
The Vice President spoke as
the guest Of the State Lily-White
Republican organization which
for all intents and purposes won
a complete victory at the Chicago
National Convention.
There were no Negroes in the
Vice President encourage, and as
far as could be learned he neither
received nor greeted any Negro
Republican while in the city, al
though Mrs. Edna Redmond Love-

listed as the Republican National
Committeewoman, and S. w. Miller
Of Jackson, State Chairman of the
Black and Tan group has long been
among the widest known and most
active Negro Republican leaders
Of the state.
Although it is regarded as a
major important domestic issue in
the campaign, and the number one
attraction for the nations Negro
voters, the Vice President failed
to make a direct reference to the
Civil Rights issue during his
speech. The closest that he came
to the issue was when he said
that he would not make one type

the instructions will be expanded
to permit troops to take action to
stop attacks by the police or the
tribesmen
The decision to change the pol
icy presents officers Of the United
Nations forces with problems and
dangers but in a sense, it comes
as something Of a relief. Under
earlier orders, the troops could do
little more than protect refugees
fleeing from the violence.
United Nations officers were
uncomfortable trying to use what
they called "the moral persuasion
bit" and knew that they were the
subject Of bitter and often con-
temptuous criticism by Belgians
and Katanga officials.
The criticism, after Mr.. Ham
marskjold's orders, is getting
sharper. Katanga officials today
accused the United Nations Of in
terfering in the PROVINCES internal
affairs and Of having encouraged
rioting with passive attitude. The
Ministry of the Interior said to-
day that if United Nations troops
tried to protect rioters from police
action then the United Nations
would have to bear the responsible
ity for inevitable chaos and an
archy."
A frequent Belgian complaint
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1960-10-01

is, 1--WE kept order with fewer men
than the United Nations has"
The distinction is that the Unit
ed Nations force here has been,
and still Is, under strict instruc-
tions not to be a repressive force.
The Belgian policy was based on
attempts to break up trouble be-
fore it had chance to get rolling,
by moving quickly and toughly
into potential trouble spots, ar
resting leaders and making a harsh
show Of force.
In effect, although not in po-
litical theory, the United Nations
has inherited Belgium's job of try
ing to keep the feuding tribes
from exploding into violence. But
it cannot use the tough prevent
i've military measures" that were
the foundation of Belgian policy.

roccans-are posted in units of

that reinforcements would be COM

DR.. Davis would be asked to re.

there also has been discussion
of separate buildings for the
Army, Navy and Air Force.
Temporary buildings T and
U, which formerly occupied the
site of the Museum of History
and Technology of the Smith
sonian Institution, now under
construction on Constitution
avenue, between Twelfth and
Fourteenth streets, NV, have
been torn down.
GSA says that now there are
mo temporary buildings left
downtown north Of Constitu-
ton avenue. Since 1885 the
agency recalled, eight tempor-
airy buildings have been demol-
ished. Six of them we're north
of Constitution avenue, and two
were south of it.
All these anticipated moves
brought on by new construc-
ton will mean that GSA will
have to find new quarters for
those now occupying the tenn
porary buildings, before they
can be torn down. ConStruc-
ton of the approaches to the
new Theodore Roosevelt Bridge,
now being built across the Po-
tomac River and Theodore
Roosevelt Island will result in
the tearing down of some addi-
tional Government buildings
that stand in the way.
When the new $50 million
State Department building, at
Twenty-third and C streets
NV. is fully occupied this sum-
mer, it will not appreciably re-
lieve the Federal Governments
pressure for space.
This is because Government
workers displaced from tempo
rary buildings will move into
rented and Government-owned
space, which the State Depart
ment employees have been
using. And some Government
agencies, such as the National
Aeronautics and Space Admin
iStration and the Federal Avia-
ton Agency, are growing, off,
cialS said. No major Federal
activity has ceased in the past
five years.
The net result is that the
Government will continue to
pay an annual rent bill in the
Washington Metropolitan Area
Of some 81 million for almost
3 million square feet of space,
housing 10000 Federal work
erS, exclusive of security ageu-
cieS, officials explained. GSA.
said the total effect of the new
State Department building will
be to relieve us Of the obliga-
ton to rent any appreciable
amount of additional space"
But existing leases will remain
largely undisturbed.
The State Department has
been occupying around l mil
lion square feet in rented
space and some Government
owned space in a grand total

BY WILLIAM A. MILLEN
Star Stafi Writer

Nearly all the unsightly war
built temporary Office buildings
cluttering G up Washington's
parks in the downtown area
could be wiped out soon if
Congress authorizes funds for
needed new construction.
This is the opinion Of the
General Services Administra-
ton, which said yesterday that
if the current Federal building
program for Washington is ap-
proved in full, it could lead to
the early elimination of all the
downtown "tempos" except the
Navy and Munitions Buildings
and buildings w and N at their
rear.
Here's the picture as GSA
now sees it:
The most offensive tempor-
airy buildings are near the
Washington Monument, seen
annually by millions of tour
lists. These are temporary
buildings TS3, IA and T-5,
which are largely occupied by
the Federal Aviation Agency.
This agency is slated to go into
Federal Ofhce Building No. 10,
projected on the south side of
independence avenue between
Sixth and Eighth streets S.W.
Plans for this have been de-
signed and GSA is waiting for
construction money.
Eight Others May Go
Eight temporary buildings on
the sites of three other pro-
jected buildings are slated to
be torn down in the near fu-
ture if Congress provides the
necessary funds. The planned
structures are Federal Office
Building No. 10; Federal Office
Building No. S, between Eighth
and Twelfth streets on indie
pendence avenue S.W., and the
Air Museum of the Smithson-
ian Institution, between Fourth
and Seventh streets S.W. on
the south side of the Mall. This
museum is considered a year
and a half to two years away;
money to complete planning
has been requested.
The moving Of the Central
Intelligence Agency to its new
home at Langley. Va, next
year could mean the elimina-
ton of all the temporary build
ings in East Potomac Park
south of the rejecting pool Of
the Lincoln Memorial.
The new Franklin Delano
Roosevelt Memorial, planned
on the banks of the Potomac
River in East Potomac Park,
authorized by Congress. could
account for removing some Of
the tempos there.
About August, GSA proposes
to tear down temporary build
ings x and Y. which are located
on the site of the planned Dis
trict Stadium near the National
Guard Armory. About 1000
persons, mostly Defense De-
partment employees, will have
to be relocated in this shift.
In addition, Wake, Guam and
Midway Halls, wartime dormi-
tories converted into Office
buildings. are slated to be razed
by the stadium project. This
will further cut Washington's
tempo" population.
Second PentagOn Considered
Part of FOB 5 may be used
for the Court of Claims, the
Court of Customs and Patent
Appeals and the Tax Court. This
is up for consideration by the
Public Works Committees of
Congress.
While discussions have been
advanced to get rid of the
World War I Navy and NUM-
tions Buildings. nothing has
been decided. Proposals have
been made for a second Penta-
gon" to house Defense Depart
ment activities now in these
two venerable structures. But
