Usage Increasing
For Mud Additive

A drilling mud additive manu-
featured in Jackson is gaining
widespread acceptance by contrac-
tors as an important factor in cut
ting mud costs by reducing the
amount of chemicals required to
control mud properties.
Distributed under the trade
name of MulsoPure, the additive
is manufactured by Chemical In
dustries, Inc. of Jackson.
One contractor who has stand
ardized on its usage, has reported
the product to be excellent as an
emulsifying agent in oil-emulsion
muds. In forming a tight emul-
sion, it results in low water loss,
low solids and low viscosity, which
contribute to good hole conditions
and penetration rates."
The product is also recommend
ed as useful in freeing stuck drill
stems and reducing the sticking Of
drill pipe in formations containing
large percentages Of clay-type ma
terials.
Deliveries Of MulsoPure are
made to drillsites in Mississippi,
Alabama, South and East Louisi-
ana from the plant in Jackson.
Western states are handled thru
authorized distributors located in
major cities.

Editor Dan Burley May His Tribe
Increase

Up in Chicago, Dan Burey, Managing Editor of
the New Crusader, militant Negro Newspaper, is
ceving the sings and of outraged critics.
result of his recent front-page article under the cap
ion: Why Isn't Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in Jail?
One of the worst things that has happened to the
efforts to bring about better relations between Ne
groes and white people in every section of this
try, that appears instead to be becoming every
day. is the fact that certain Negro organizations and
Negro leaders have been allowed to assume the mantle
of infaibty, and thus to become thing sacred and
invioate in the minds of the Negro Masses much of
which is the result of we'll founded criticism of the
news presentation and editorial policy of Negro news
papers.
The critic of Negro newspapers outside of the Ne
gro community invariably point to the fact that Negro
editors always praise example and precept espoused by
Negro organizations and Negro leaders without
subJectng them to examination in the light of history
and experience being ready with praise or excuse
for every act statement in the of Negro rights
but never ready criticism.
In his critical examination of the leadership and
conduct of the Rev Martin Luther King Jr Editor Dan
Burey has rendered distinct service to the nations Ne
gro community, while at the time demonstrating
the high and unfettered responsibility of that Negro
editors must assume if they to make substantial
and worthwhile contribution to the formation of Pub
lie Opinion.
In conclusion say of Editor Dan Burey may his
tribe increase.

gardless of race"
The NAACP officials who talked
with Dickty were Medgar Evers,
state field secretary, and Stephens
Catchings, president Of the Jackson
branch.
Dickty said he advised the Ne

elimination because of race and

United Nations, N. "a United

The committee-barred by South
Africa from entering the territory
has called for a United Nations
Security Council meeting on the
situation.
In letter to the Security Coun-
Gil, the committee charged that
South Africa is engaging in a
military build-up in Southwest
Africa. 1t said it had evidence that
South Africa, in cooperation with
Portuguese military forces in An
COLA, had posted 1000 troops along
the Southwest Africa-Angola bor-

The committee said that on the
basis of testimony from political
refugees tagen in Accra, Oar es Sa-

that "only Intervention by the
United Nations can prevent armed
racial conflict in Africa"

AIcorn College
Prepares For
Extraordinary
Fall Enrolment

There is every reason to assume,
from the large number of COM
pleted applications, that A lcorn
College will have huge enroll
ment in September. President j:
D. Boyd has greatly expanded the
physical facilities of the college
to accommodate a large number of
new students-the largest number,
by far, in the institutions history.
The faculty and staff of 165
persons is greatly increased so
that adequate instruction and
teacher loading may be arranged
for the benefit of the increasing
number of freshmen and junior
college graduates, who have met
the requirements for admission.
Mr.. D. w. Wilburn, registrar and
director of admission, says his of
flee processes on the average of
ten a day. This means that these
students meet all the requirements.
Their transcripts and application
fees are paid and we have every
reason to expect them.
With the increased number of
teachers who have earned the doc
torate, who plan to join the col
lege in September, we have every
reason to believe that the many
superior students, who plan to at
tend Alcorn College in 1961-62,
will have the finest opportunity
to develop their innate abilities
that the college has offered since
its inception in 1871. For, it is
safe to assume that the Land
Grant Centennial, which takes
place this year, will be staged dur
ing Alcorn's finest hour.

A Southern University senior
elementary education major, who
likes to dabble with paint and
brush, has found that no less than
the First Lady herself will accept
one of his paintings that now hangs
in the Foyer in the University
Library. He is Joseph Williams of
New Orleans.
+. Williams first outstanding rec
ognition came a few weeks ago
when he send group of paintings
to President Kennedy of his i'm
pressions of what the world looks
like from out of space.
So impressed was the President
that he Immediately dispatched a
note to Williams congratulating
him and thanking him for the
paintings. Included was a copy of
the speech that was delivered by
our first Astronaut.
1t was after this that Mrs. Ken
nedy's attention was drawn to the
young artists work. The painting
she will receive is is entitled cam
erica. The work is very simple in
it's appearance, but the co1ors are
of ranging tones. The subject is a
basket of fruit.
Williams has not had profession
al training. He just likes to paint
and according to him has learned
the hard way. 81 must give credit
to some very wonderful people in
New Orleans" stated the young
ster. "Mr. and Mrs. Charles H.
Reinike, both we'll known artists in
New Orleans and Alonzo Lansford
of the Delgato Museum. Through
their encouragement and advice, l
have been able to give my paint
ings character"
Asked why he didn't enroll in
the departement Of art, Williams
felt that there was little opportu-
nifty for an artist. So he, somewhat
hid his talents, and decided to be-
come a teacher and let art occupy
his spare time. However, now that
he has been offered several sub
stantial scholarships to study pro-
fessionally, he is going to stay in
school until he receives his degree
then accept one of the scholar
ships.
"This way, l will be able to hold
job while l continue my studies
After all 1 have my mother to look
after and some day expect to have
family to support"

Say U. S. Negroes
Most Preferred
Foreigners
In Africa

TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.
Two East Africa political lead
ers said here this week that U. S.
Negroes are the "most preferred"
foreigners in Africa, and urged
more educated Negroes to come
to Africa" and help develop that
continents economies.
Robert Matano, 81, member of
the Legislative Council Of the
Kenya Democratic Union, and
Mwai Khaki, 30, executive officer
for the Kenya African National
Union, made the statements during
their tour of the U. S. under the
State Departments Foreign Leader
Program.
Their tour of the U. S. included
the Nations Capital where the July
independence celebration "made
US mere anxious than ever to get
our own independence" and Knox
vile, Tenn, where they were re-
fused service at downtown coffee
shop.
At Tuskegee, where more than a
third of the schools so foreign stu
dents come from Africa (eight
from Kenya), they praised the
schools educational program (par-
ticularly the functional" aspects
CT it), saying "this is what our
young nations in Africa need
training in skills they can USE"
In a conference with Tuskegee
President DR.. L. H. Foster, they
marveled at the achievements of
Negro Americans, and said that
such successes should inspire At
ricans.
President Foster responded that
it may be possible for U. S. Ne
groes to inspire Africans, but he
contended that "there is more that
the Negro in America must ac-
complish before we can really in
spire Africa"
Within few weeks, President
Foster will go to Africa (Zorzor
near Liberia in West Africa to
review a Tuskegee project to de-
velop a rural elementary school
system in cooperation with the Ii
/ IBERIA and u. S. governments.
Mr.. Khaki stated that he did
not know where the propaganda
originated" that Negroes are not
wanted in Africa, but he denied
! that such was the attitude of his
countrymen. U. S. Negroes, he
said, "are most preferred" in AZ
RIGA, especially educated" ones
who can help develop new nations
such as Kenya which is scheduled
to gain independence in the near
future, he said.
DR.. Foster expressed hope that
African nations would accept "peo-
pie who can help" regardless Of
color.
