The American Veterans Com
mittee today submits to the

that Negro servicemen are sub
jected to racial discrimination,

integrated.
The ave said it had studied
the matter at 42 defense and
Veterans Administration install

and South. The report con-
tanned these findings:
/. While northern VA hospi-
tails and regional offices are
completely integrated, it found
practically no Negro veterans
in white collar jobs in southern
VA Offices.
2. Southern Negro veterans
were too discouraged by eco
nomic discrimination to apply
for CT home, farm and busi-
ness loans.
8. Negro veterans were un-
able to use their CT on-the-
job training opportunities be-
cause no decent jobs are avail

KING AND AUTHOR
The Landon Home Has Rare Art
East Meets West in Its Decor
BY MARY L. VAUGHAN
Star Home FURNISHINGS Writer

by MARI liz VAOUnAN
Star Home FURNISHINGS Writer
One of the worlds best
known authors is quietly pur-
suing her literary endeavors
here in an unpretentious red
brick home in Wesley Heights,
Just of Foxhall road NV.
Mrs. Margaret Landon,
whose book, Anna and the
King of SIAM" was translated
into IA languages and adapted
for the theater in the popular
musical "The King and l."
currently is writing a serious
history of Southeast Asia.
Writing comes second with
Mrs. Landon whose chief in
terestS center around her
husband, DR.. Kenneth Ian
don, their four children and
nine grandchildren. The
youngest son Kip still lives
at home and is a student at
st. Adams School for Boys.
Mrs. Landon has furnished
her home with care since
they moved in 16 years ago.
Primarily she has co-ordi-
mated background colors with
furnishings that combine
Oriental with Western styles
of the 18th century. The
Landons lived in Thailand,
then Siam, from 1927 to 1896
when DR.. Landon, an or
dained Presbyterian minis
ter, served as a missionary
there.
Rare Paintings
Rare Chinese paintings Of
museum stature are dis
played around the living
room walls, done by three
individual artists. Using Chi
nese figures. dress and set
tings, they depict Biblical
scenes interpreting events in
the life of Christ.
There's a story behind the
magnificent collection, Mrs.
Landon reveals.
Many years ago in Siam
I saw a black and white Chi
nese drawing of an Oriental
madonna and child and I
was fascinated by the modern
freshness of that concept. I
had never before thought Of
a Chinese madonna" she ex-
plained.
Back in this country, Mrs.
Landon recalled the madonna
drawing while talking with a
close friend, DR.. Lydia Ma
Ranong, a university profess
sor and journalist in Bang
kok.
DR.. Ranong knew all about
the subject" she said, land
personally knew the artists.
She wrote to them and they
did the series for me in color.
The paintings were mounted
on silk and done in a scale
small enough to hang in my
home"
The final two paintings
came out of China just a
jump ahead of the Commu-
nistS," she adds. "They had
taken Peking but the paint
ings by that time had reached
Shanghai"
Subjects of the paintings
include: 1.-THE Madonna and
Child" Alteration of the
Magi, ""No Room at the Inn."
Feeding the Multitude"
Flight Into Egypt" Woman
of Samaria," "Annunciation
to the Shepherds" wedding
at Cana" and "The Alteration
of the Shepherds"
Planned Decor
Oriental thought is inter
woven in the paintings. Mrs.
Landon inquired as to why,
in one or two, the Madonna
is wearing red why" re-
piled an Oriental friend,
that is the color of youth

U.N. Told 1t Must Pay
For Congo Operation

UNITED NATIONS, NY, Up
Secretary-General Dag Hammar-
skiold warned today the United
Nations must either provide the
money to pay for its Congo OPP
Grafton or scrap it.
In a hard-hitting speech to the
U.N. General Assembly's finan-
cial committee, he declared the
organization is faced by crucial
financial situation threatening
both its Congo and normal oper-
atoms.
He disclosed the U.N. treasury
will be virtully empty by the end
of this year.
He said financing the Congo
operation is the U.N.'s main fin
ancial burden at the moment.
Without mentioning Soviet
threats not to pay any part of
the Congo costs, Hammarskjold
said the UN. General Assembly
must either make appropriate
and speedy arrangements for
covering the cost or "take the in
itial steps for liquidation of the
military operation and the re-
versal of the policy which this
would mean"
at may be felt by members
that the cost of peace is high,
but indeed what is it in COMPARE
son to the cost for the prepara-
ton for War-not to speak about
war ITSELF" he declared.
