Law Held Equal
I'm Harlem. Negro leaders,
civic, political and clerical
and the local branch Of an as
sociation dedicated to promot-
ing the lot of their fellows, in
cluding elimination of racial
discrimination. are fomenting
racial discrimination against
white men
"As Negroes they know fully
what racial discrimination is.
And yet, as men of dark skin,
they agitate by word and action
speech. print, boycott and
picketing to deprive white
men of their livelihoods solely
because they are white skinned,
so as to. replace these victims
with their selected Negroes"
Judge Saypol, who did not
name the Negro leaders he had
in mind, also wrote:
"InSistence upon compliance
with the policy Of the law
bespeaks consistency in appli-
cation to all. It is not a one
way proposition for Negroes
alone; it is rather for equal
application to ALL"
Guilty Of Contempt
The justice found John H.
Young, co-ordinator of the
Economic Action Committee,
guilty Of violating a State Su-
preme Court order. The order,
obtained last March by a liquor
salesmen's union, banned
picketing Of Harlem liquor
stores in the fight to get more
business for Negro wholesale

sition Of punishment for con-
tempt. He said he would

Researcher Sees u. S.
Surviving Atomic War

The United States can sur
vive an atomic war, an Arling-
ton industrial research special
ist said yesterday.
DR.. William w. Eaton, vice
president and one of the found
ers Of the Corp. for Economic
and Industrial Research, Ar
lington, Va. opposed a ban on
nuclear testing, preferring to
advance the frontier Of nuclear
knowledge.
Speaking to a seminar con-
Quoted for the American Vet
Grams of World War II by
Georgetown University, DR..
Eaton declared that the United
States should not try as a mat
ter Of national policy to stifle
basic research unless it is NOR
ally or ethically wrong.
The Government should fl
nance more basic research than
it is doing now. he said, but
applying the results of scien-
tific knowledge Is best left to
the free enterprise system, he
contended.
Team Now
The day of the individual
scientist working alone in his
laboratory is largely gone, with
the team operation now para
mount because no one scien-
tist can know all the angles Of
such complicated things as
guided missiles, DR.. Eaton OBJ
served.
The scientist should not have
more or less weight in public
affairs than the lawyer, poll
tician or the churchman, he
asserted. IL
The military, rather than the
scientists, has a better idea
OF weapon effects than any
body else, DR.. Eaton said. To
insure that Americans will be
able to walk away from the
ashes Of a nuclear war, DR.. Ea-
ton declared that this country
should do everything in re-
search and development to keep
the country as strong as pos
sible.

Bethlehem, Route
Is Confusing

The exact route that Mary and
Joseph followed in travelling from
Nazareth to Bethlehem is not
known.
One route led along the sea-
coast and through the plain of
Sharon, but it was stunned by
pious travellers as much as pos
sible because of heather cities
and rowdy Navlers.
A second route. the shortest.
was via the fruitful plains of Es-
draelon into the mountains Of
Samaria and through Shechem
and Bethel. Although steep. the
road was not too bad. But Jews
had little use for Samaritans, and
vice versa. so this route most
likely was not chosen by Mary
and Joseph.
The Jordan route, which de-
scended into the Jordan valley
and followed the river around
Jericho. was favored by the ma
jority Of Gallean travellers. This
route, fairly level was even then
stepped in Jewish history.
Whichever the route, Mary and
Joseph Travelled nearly 100 miles
to seek shelter in the lonely
stable where the child JESUS
was born.
