Catholic Sisters
Feel Weight Of
Local Segregation

A group of Catholic sisters with
their white woman companion felt
the full weight of local racial seq
-regation Monday morning as they
were attempting to enter the Illi-
nois Central railroad station by
way of the Negro waiting room.
AS the group started toward the
entrance to the Negro waiting room
policeman called from across the
street and beckoned them to come
around and enter by the white
waiting room now designated by
two signs mounted on pedastals
placed on the sidewalk in front of
the white waiting room door since
the signs have been removed from
the station, presumably on order
of the Illinois Central Railroad.
More conveniently located be-
cause of the parking area which
faces the Negro waiting room door
whites have for a long time entered
and left the station by passing
through the Negro waiting room.
Recently, and especially since the
advent of the Freedom Riders"
police officers have been stationed
near each entrance cstensibly to see
that the segregation laws are not
violated.

South Africa

johannesburg, South Africa, May
27 - The uncertain situation in
South Africa has caused many
physicians, scientists and educators
to leave the country in the last
year.
The exodus Of more than 100
professional men has affected uni

many vacancies on the faculties Of
such major institutions as the Uni

johannesburg, the University Of
Natal at Durham and the Univer-

cruit requirements from abroad
have yielded only few.
Figures released yesterday by
the Bureau Of the Census and Sta

left South Africa last year to set

grants came to South Africa.
In addition to uncertainty about

Find 100 Bodies
In The Congo

LEOPOLDVILLE, June 8. - A
Malayan patrol has found the
bodies of more than 100 persons,
including 81 women and children,
killed during fighting around a
town 20 miles south of the Kivu
province capital of Bukavu, Unit
ed Nations spokesman said Friday.
The spokesman reported that the
patrol found that ca approx
mately six-miles square around the
town of Nyangezi had been devas-
tated.
Entire villages and most of the
crops in the area were burned, the
spokesman said, and bodies were
left lying in the sun.
He said some of the victims had
been mutilated.
The cause of the outbreak of
violence was not certain here. Re-
ports said that the trouble began
when Bashi tribesmen attacked a
Congolese army column. Several
soldiers were killed, the reports
said, and the troops then turned
on the tribesmen.

New York, N. Y, June 5.-(Spe-

newspapers, with a world wide cir

full citizenship rights for Amer

opinion throughout the nation, in
an editorial in its edition of Sun

The Times editorial, under the
caption "The Inescapable Obliga-

1t is ironic and tragic that now,
a century after the beginning of
our Civil War, the battle for full
freedom and equality Of our Negro
fellow citizens must still be fought.
AS the historic Bruce Cation put
it the other day: "The Civil War
turned the Negro from chattel
slave into an American citizen, and
it left US with the eternal and COM
pletely inescapable obligation to
see to it that that citizenship is
made good" 1t is imperative of
this "inescapable obligation" that
has motivated the FREEDOM Rid
ers," both white and Negro, to take
their perilous journeys these past
weeks.

New York - Former President
Harry s. Truman told a white

Peck questioned the former Pres
ident during his usual morning

"I'll stick to those statements"
Truman said. "Integration can't be
done in the manner you're doing it.
You should stay up North"
This was Peck's first personal en-
counter with Truman, but he came
close in 1948 when he chained him
