UN Worth Saving

AS the United Nations moves deeper into what
promises to be its most frustrating we'll as criti
cal session, some Americans challeng-
ing the usefulness of the world organization.
There is no point in blinking at the debit side
Premier Khrushchev views the UN as an in
strument to be turned to his consuming purpose of
creating Communist world An amoral leader of
amoral order, he hardly gives lip-service to the
charters fine phrases about the worth and dignity
of nations and individuals.
Cynieism is by no confined to the Com
munist bloc. AS of Aug. 81 the 100 members had
paid only 81 per cent of their regular Dues 60 per
cent of their commitments to the UN Congo force
and AZ per cent of what they owed for maintaining
the UN emergency forces in the Middle East With
out the dsproportionate contributions of the Unit
ed States, the UN would be bankrupt "
So it is prudent to face the possibility that in
spite of the utmost efforts of the United States
and those civilized nations who stand with her for
freedom the Soviets may bring down the whole
structure.
But it is also prudent to assess what the UN's
downfall would mean.
1t would mean the closing of the most promis-
ing gateway mankind has ever opened to a world
permanently at peace.
1t would smash the one symbol of hope that
stands tall and bright enough for all the world to
see. Philosophers and politicians might devise their
own cushions to the blow, but they could not stem
the despair that would enguf the ordinary people,
1t would close down the worlds meeting place
that has, for 16 years. drawn delegates from every
quarter if not to settle differences at least to vent
late them and to test world opinion and particular
y the massive strength of the impulse for peace
1t would set back for decades, if not forever
the meager but tangible progress that has been
made toward universal mechansms for making
common cause against poverty and misery, as well
against war
If the UN endure, it can succeed Change
is an memorable law. In time-if there is time-the
Soviet conspiracy with its monstrous ogic and it's
contempt for human worth, will pass as surely as
have all regimes that opposed mans dignity.
To bridge that time is the task of those on
freedoms side, and if the UN can help serve this
end, alone, it is worth saving.-Chicago Daily

Plaudit For Teachers

We confess to weakness for school teachers
Theirs it often to us, is as difficult task
as society has contrived
1t is complicated by the fact that in no area of
American life is criticism from the outside so ram
pant. Some of the criticism is unjust and stems
from failure TO understand what is demanded from
modern American schools Some is wholly just and
has it's birth in the commendable desire for constant
improvement.
Admiral Rickover emits cries of anguish be-
cause his personal standards not met in all
cases. Minority groups in some instances, want
their presented in out-offocus relationship to
the magnitude of their problem. Parents who
haven't read book in 20 years suddenly decide
their children can't read as we'll as they can. One
group thinks schools lack discipline; another thinks
they overdo control. faction decres lack of mag
ination in schools, says they afraid to expert
ment An opposite faction says they experiment too
much. The list of plants and complaints is end
less.
Is this bad? Not necessarily. An encouraging
aspect is that it is indication that while Amer-
cans may be complacent about many things, the
education of their children is not one of them.
Niggng criticism and there is good deal of
it, is certainly bad. Based upon ignorance it can
only extend ignorance.
Constructive criticism, and there is much of
that too, only help educators to do job which
most of them want desperately to do WELL For the
balance of criticism to remain the constructive
side, there must be continuing understanding be-
tween educators and parents A way to achieve
that understanding is to heed the invitation of
educators to visit the schools next week and talk
with those who are teaching your children.
You will make teachers particularly happy if
you add question to the your are sure to
ask 'How is Johnny doing?" Ask it, certainly but
try adding this one. what do you want from john
ny and from us ?'-Needham (Mass.) Times.

APolice View OF Equality

E. c. Hale, police chief in Lexington KY, has
done some thinking out loud about how to handle
tense interracal and mob situations His reason
ing and conclusions reported in New South maya
zine, should be required reading not only in police
headquarters but also in citizens living rooms
north, SOUTH east and west. Wide familiarity with
theory and dOwn-to-earth applications of equality
be fore the lay would mutually help the police and
the people they serve.
1.-The police officer who is tempted to vary his
role according to personal notions as to the worth
of various groups is himself in violation of the
law" Mr. Hale writes. can officer has capacity
for delivering equal justice only to the extent that
he has this problem under control"
The implication is that all policemen have some
homework to do if they have not thought through
their responsibilities in areas touched by race
creed, nationality considerations. It appears that
if this philosophical foundation is not sody built
in moments of quiet contemplation it may be lack
ing at time of crisis "Acts of partially are like
ly to result from excitement" Mr.. Hale points
out, implying that an officer who has mentally
worked out his impartial role ahead of time can
stand fast against public cutlery and other shows
of emotionalism at sudden trouble spot
Because police frequently find themselves at
the focal point of flare-up, trying to keep order
tn ey are often accused of taking Sides But if
both police and public have grounded themselves
thoroughly in the theory of absolute impartiality
no one will be confused to the right of the of
fcers to be present and to bring their peacemaking
power to bear The public will then not only permit
but expect police action to be characterized by firm
ness and fairness, and general high regard for

Tougaloo, Miss, Nov. Is -
Two White Goods enrolled at
this previously all Negro Col
lege told newsmen this week
that attending Tougaloo Sou
thern Christian College has been
extremely educational.
The goods, who live in diff
ferent dormitories, said they
had not met before coming to
Tougaloo, an accredited church
supported school with some
white faculty members.
Studious Charlotte Phillips,
19-year-old sophomore sociology
major, said she transferred from
Swarthmore College to Touga-
loo because there is so little
communication between STU
dents in the north and south.
"Integration on the long run
depends on individual contacts"
she said. "At Tougaloo, we get
this experience both ways.
81 got tired of people talking
philosophy and ideals without
doing something"
Joan Trumpower, 20-year-old
sophomore transfer from Duke
University, spent an interim
year in and around Washington.
She participated in three dozen
sit-in and other nonviolent dem
onstrations before coming to
Tougaloo.
Miss Trumpower, who has
long blonde hair and a quick wit,
said she came south to put her
experience to use. She is study
ing history and sociology.
She said she spends most of
her spare time at lectures, talk
ing to Negro students, and at
the Jackson nonviolent office.

additionally belongs to a stu
dent" she said.
Miss Phillips said there was
not much time for extra-curricu-
la activities after studying. She
plans to go to medical school
after finishing her undergradu-
ate work.
"There are dances on Satur-
day night" she said, "and the
relationships are friendly.
There is lot to say and a
lot to listen to here"
Miss Trumpower said she had
received no threats since inte-
grating the a1l-Negro school.

said. There's really no place
to go because everything is seq

The church must help men of
all nationalities and all coun-
tries to see that they are so re-
lated that justice, good will and
peace are the means by which
human dignity and human value

the Russian Church for member

my belief that one of the high
achievements Of the World

New Delhi will be the accept
ance Of the Russian Church. The
acceptance Of this church does
not mean that the World Coun-
Gil of Churches approves the

means the following:

are recognized as a part of this

2. That the Christian has not
surrendered to the cleavage be-
tween East and West, but has
dedicated itself to the task Of
building bridges Of friendship.

FISHING

Everything has its purpose
even those pesky overhanging
branches on your favorite fish
ing stream. Here's one way to
put those branches to use and
catch more fish while doing it.
A gaff hook makes a handy
anchor where there are over
hanging branches or stumps
popping up from underwater or
along the shore. This neatly
does away with dropping an an
Choir into the water every time
you've hit hotspot and taking
the chance of killing the fish
ing there by being too noisy.
Have trouble with your tackle
box sliding around on the bot
tom of the boat making a lot
IF noise and getting into where
it shouldn't? Try gluing few
mason jar rings-the kind used
for jams and jellies - onto the
bottom of the tackle box and
you won't be in this kind of
jam again.
The peace and quiet of a
days fishing may be the fisher
mans dream but too much 81
lerce can keep the fish on a
lake or stream. So if things
aren't lively, here's a good way
to start the action. Toss a few
rocks or pebbles into likely
looking spots-and then toss a
few more until you've worked
UP a Storm, Now sit back, re-
lax, light cigarette and wait.
After half an hour try casting
again and you'll have pleas
ant supply in store-and soon
in your creel. The noise will
make the fish active, and when
fish are active they feed. All
you have to do is be on hand
to feed 'em the right line.

"A & I College
Observes 10th
Anniversary At
Founders Day

Greensboro, N. C.-The nee
essary requirements of the new
college graduate and the college
teacher were outlined last week
at A & T College.
The speaker was DR.. Lewis
Pine, program director, Under
graduate Science Education Di-
vision, National Science Foun-
dation, Washington, d. C.
! He was delivering the main
address on Tuesday morning,
November 7, at the colleges an
nual Founders Day exercises,
concentrating the 10th ami
versary of the institution. The
program was held in the Charles
Moore Gymnasium.
! He told the audience the new
college graduate must have a
stock of knowledge, understand
from where it comes, have clear
understanding of the means
through which he can continu-
ally update this knowledge and
must know, at least in outline
form, fields closely related to
/ his own.
Thus, he said, "the COM
plete college graduate has
knowledge, a grasp of process,
a sense of history and some
seedlings in areas outside his
immediate professional goal
which can be developed without
the painful process of learning
the basic vocabulary Of philo-
sophy, or theology, or science,
or art, or music, in his middle
years."
He said all teachers have
! first responsibility to under
stand the peculiar problems of
young people preparing to live
in changing world.
He predicted that new pat
terms in American higher educa-
ton will include more activities
stressing students independence
and more flexibility and adapt
ability in college curricula.
Criticizing the trend of some
American colleges and univer-
stiles in copying European
plans, he said, 81 will defend our
extended sytem of general edu-
cation for all young people
against anyone, even those who
suggest we adopt English,
Dutch, French and Scandinavian
system at the same time that
the English, Dutch, French and
Scandinavian countries are ac-
cepting and adopting our fun
damental belief and our prac-
tees in mass education"

of the National Baptist Conven-
ton, U.S.A., Inc, and Vice
President of the Baptist World
Alliance; an organization of %
million Baptists, and a delegate
en- route to the World Council
of Churches in New Delhi, India.
The statement grew out of an
interview with DR.. jackson re-
garding the question of whether
or not the application of the
Orthodox Church of Russia
would be received at the New
Delhi meeting. 1t was the opin-
ion of some that the recent
atomic blasts in Russia might
occasion some hostility and OBJ
jecticn to accepting the Ortho-
dox Church which was once the
state church of Russia before
the rise of communism.

sian Orthodox Church Will Be

The Christian church is a COM
munity of believers who are
committed to the principles of
Jesus Christ. Those basic prin-
ciples are:
1. Faith in God, or the belief
that the source of all life in the
universe is on the side of Gre
ativity, goodness, justice and
redemption.
2. Faith in the universal kim
ship of all men.
8. Commitment to the neces-
sity and the possibility of peace
in the world without military
power, or the oppression Of the
weak by the strong.
The basic missionary task Of
the Christian church today is
not the condemnation or the OPP
position to other religions, but
it is the task of helping to build
world peace with justice. This
goes deeper than petitions to
governments to cease the COM
petitive arms race including

Every sportsman worth his

walton on this old gimmick that
may not be so well known. In
stead of the matches, roll up
an oily cloth and fit it inside

use for an oily cloth sometime
during a day afield and here's
perfect way to store one until
you're ready to put it to work.
