A World In Trouble

1t is always useful in time of troubles" like this
to step back and look around The temptation when the
Congo erupts, when rioters storm Belgian embassies
when students In Asia stone U.SIA offices when
young man in Havana overurns his country and upsets
hemisphere, to look at the particular event
What we should do is to realize that none of these
events is isolated The familiar quotation from
John Donne to mind when a political leader is
murdered in Congoese village and American Negroes
riot at the United Nations in New York No man is an
island and the bell is tolng for all of u.s.
Another temptation to be resisted is to think that
the sound hear is just the usual dscords coming out
of Moscow and Peping There is probably no more dan
gerous faacy nowadays than to blame everything on
communism. But communism takes advantage of the
forces at work everywhere in the modern world to at
tack or weaken the West and to build it's power
If, by some miracle, communism had been Danish
ed from the EARTH the Africans would still have strug
gied as they did for independence the Laotians would
have quarreled the Cubans would have had their
luton.

The shrill crys being heard in support of States
Rights invented by Calhoun of South Carolina in order
to justify Negro slavery and the right of the state to
secede from the unon is nothing than effort to
escape the history of the civil war.
We submit that the demands of contemporary his

shed only by granting the just grievances of the Ne

Having rejected time and again the most fattering
offers of the Communists, before crowd of upward of

President of the United States have asserted that
there thousands of fine white people in Mississippi
and the rest of the South, and that ultimately the
white and Negro leaders of the South and of Mssis-
sippi working together would find the solution to the
southern Race Problem.
We submit that the time has for the fine
white people of Mississippi in whose hands rest the
real power and authority to identify themselves with
the effort to find solution for the problem in this
state if not for love of the Negro, for greater love
for the United States.

In Little Rock
1859 Bombing

ing the Labor Day 1859 bombings-
in the school administration build
ing.
The bombings had been linked
with the strife in Little Rock
which followed the Indignation of
Central high school.
The four filed suit to collect on
their claims apparently unaware
as they did that the Chambers
Reward committee was preparing
recommendation to disburse the
reward money.
William H. Bowmen, a Little
Rock attorney who is chairman of
the committee, said the suit was
unfortunate and probably would
delay disbursement of the money.
The suit was filed by Erwin Lee
Main, Glenn d. Mulherin, Roy Lee
Spillers and Marlene DeVall. They
and one other woman were return
ing from date and were parked
in car in front of the Praclete
House, a Catholic boarding house,
about the time bomb was plant
ed in the Little Rock school ad-
ministration building a block to
the east.
They testified in. the bombing
trials that they saw a man run
ming from the direction of the
school house, hop in a parked car
and speed away.
The men testified that a few
minutes later, when they left their
dates and were driving away, they
heard the explosion.
The four filed application for
part Of the reward in June 1860,
through their attorney, George II.
Sullivan. Sullivan has died since
then and L. Gene Worsham is the
attorney who represented them in
the lawsuit.

Martin j. Heller.
Mr.. Heller, a native of San Fran
cisco, died in 1858, leaving an es-
tate Of nearly three million dollars
from his mining interests in Peru.
Half Of the estate was bequeathed
to the University of California
School Of Engineering, and the re-
mainder was to be divided equally
among organizations for the relief
of Jewish refugees, the blind, the
San Francisco Home for the Aged,
the Jewish Home for the Aged,
and an agency for the benefit of
aged colored people in the Bay
Area, with the provision that if
any Of these grants should prove
impossible to carry out, the funds
would be divided proportionately
among the other beneficiaries.
The grant for the benefit of
aged Negroes was contested by
the University Of California and
the Jewish Home for the Aged on
the ground that no qualified
agency existed in the Bay Area,
and a ruling to that effect was
requested from the New York Sur
rogate Court. Through coopera-
ton between the Attorney Gener-
al of New York, California's At
torney General lat that time Ed
mund G. Brown, now Governor)
and Stanley Mosk, now Attorney
General, the Booker T. Washing

peared in court to oppose the Uni
versity's request.
On Wednesday Of this week, the
request was denied by Surrogate
Court, with the result that the
Foundation is eligible to receive

dollars, which will be used to fund

cipally by the Booker T. Washing
