traitor, went to Kapingama-
rangi to tidy things up and see
if any unraid debts had been
left behind by the palefaces.
Yes. said one islander. A
weather station man had
bought an outrigger canoe and
hadn't paid for it. The fair
market price was determined
to be $500 and the Acc repre-
sentative paid it.
More than two years passed
while the Kapingamarangi
sorted out the facts and their
community conscience built up
a head of steam. Then, in octo-
Der, 1860. their chief magistrate,
Apinel D. Mateak, came to Mr..
Finale's office on Panope Is
land and said the 5000 had not
been owed. All a misunder-
standing, Mr.. Mateak explained.
Mr.. Mateak then insisted Mr..
Finale take the refund money.
The administrator did and for
warded it to the Acc. The Acc,
figuring 5000 is important to a
small island communicated
heartened by such honesty
tried to return the cash. No go.
So it was reluctantly put in the
general Acc fund-along with
all those millions.
But the Kapingamarangi
hadn't squared things with their
coral-ribbed consiciences yet.
They next sent to trust terri
tory headquarters about $4O0
worth Of their handicraft, in
cluding fans, purses, model
canoes, wooden bowls, fishing
boxes and woven mats.
This, wrote Mr.. Mateak, was
to be sent to the Acc to make
full amends to those "incon-
venienced" by the canoe deal.
In vain the Acc protested no
one had been inconvienced and
asked the Kapingamarangi to
take it all back. No good, said
the islanders, it must be done
so.
So now, at the Acc head
quarters in nearby German
town, Md. there's q fine lot of
South Sea handicraft on dis
play.
And when it's looked at for q
speel, 1t is to be sold and the
proceeds will go to the scholar
ship loan fund the trust terri
tory maintains to help island
youths get educations-which
they may or may not need.

The Acc was booming some

Appeals For Aid

Baltimore, Md BlSnop Edgar
A. Love, head of the Baltimore
Area of The Methodist Church,
has appealed to President Eisen-
hover in behalf of the dispossessed
Negro sharecroppers of |Fayette
and Haywood Counties, Tennessee.
The bishop was joined by Bishop
John Wesley Lord of the Wash
irgton Area of the Methodist
Church; Bishop George w. Baber
of the First Episcopal District, the
AME Church, and Bishop Charles
Ewbank Tucker of the AME Zion
Church, Louisville, KY, in the
following telegram:
cit has come to our attention
that many Negro people in Fay
cite and Haywood Counties, Ten
nessee, who registered to vote in
the recent election, have been
evicted from their homes. -
"Orders have been issued for the
eviction of 800 families in Hay
wood County, and 400 families in
Fayette County. At least forty
(4O) people are already evicted in
Fayette County and are living in
tents without floors in sub-freezing
weather. These families cannot
buy food or fuel in the county in
which they live, but must drive
fifty miles to Memphis.
eve also understand that Fed
eral District Court turned down an
application of the Department of
Justice for a restraining order
preventing these evictions.
Certainly, Mr.. President, this
in our judgment should be investi-
gated by the Federal Government,
and some relief given to these peo-
pie. Perhaps the Army should go
in with medical and food supplies,
ard with tents for temporary hous-
ing.

Common Sense For Freedom

Common sense and compassion have combined to free
Dr. Willard Uphaus. New Hampshire jailed the elderly
pacifst for refusing to furnish list of the persons
who attended his world fellowship camp.
The states Legislature had given it's attorney gen.
eral authority to hunt for Communists. He said he be-
eved that among several hundred people who had visit
ed the Uphaus camp Reds. Dr. Uphaus said
that publishing the 1854 guest list would subject friends
clared that to inform them would violate his consci-
ence and religious rights under the First Amendment
His appeals failed in divided United States Su-
preme Court. New Hampshire court sentenced him
to prison for year until he gave the information
demanded The court has freed him two days short
of the year. Meanwhile, McCarthyism faded and many
people began to question whether this sort of thing
was necessary to insure the security of New Hamp-
shire.
From this record what conclusions can we draw?
l. One name has been added to the long roster
OF men distinguished mainly by their willingness to
suffer to defend the rights of conscience
2. Dr. Uphaus like DIR. Linus Paulng who has been
involved in somewhat similar case might have helped
his work for peace by being alert to Communist
efforts to infitrate good causes.
8. But So too, must every citizen recognize another
dangerous type of nftraton-when free societies are
tempted to adopt the totataran doctrine that the nd
vdua exists for the state and has rights against it.
q. More frequent remembrance of Jefferson's COM
nonsense COUNSEL Error of opinion always safely
be tolerated where is left free to combat it"
would permit saner sharper examination of real dang
and prevent the kind of hystera that produced the
Uphaus case.

The fight began when the Board
Of Education announced that the
district would be rezoned in &C
cordance with old established, but
neglected, regulations, with some
P. S. students transferred to
new school, P. S. 1913. The major
ity of the other students would
be the Negroes and Puerto Ricans
who had attended a ramshackle
building which P. S. 1913 replaced.
Mr.. and Mrs. Goldman noted:
"Our segregationists are more
genteel. But they were ready to
employ many of the same devices
and arguments as Southern rae
lists"
Essentially, they reported in
Look: "The 'silk-stocking' opposi-
ton variously employed three bas-
ic lines of argument: Putting
white and Negro children together
is dangerous, physically and spirit
ually to the whites; Indignation
means poorer schools and less edu-
cational opportunity; Indignation
is left-wing idea, supported by
left-wingers."
Many of the children who were
supposed to be transferred are
now in private schools. Today
about 25 per cent of the students
in P. S. 1913 are white.

Dear Sir:
I read in the newspaper where
you had wired President Elect
Kennedy concerning the Civil
Rights problem, and I want to
take this opportunity to congratu-
late you on doing this. l can see
that you are one colored person
that has some common horse-sense
about this mess that the South is
in. We need more like you! l am
greatly disturbed about this prob
lem also, and I have written an
article on this subject which / in
tend to send to some newspapers.
l am no writer; this is the first
time I have ever done it, but
feel that people should be made
aware of these problems that are
facing the South as well as our
nation. l have made several car
bon copies and have sent them to
Kennedy, Sparkman, Selden and
others, and I intend to send the
rest to the newspapers. Of course,
you may not agree with every
thing that I have said, but l
would like for you to read it.
If you do agree with what I
have said or you feel that there
may be some truth in what
have said, then l would appre-
ciate your publishing this article
in your newspaper. If you know
of anything that might be of help
to me, or if you know of any other
newspapers that might be inter-
ested in my article, I would ar-
preciate hearing from you. I have
written this article because I am
interested in the South as well as
my country, and l want to do
what / can to help better condi-
tions that are now existing.
