Teachers above all

Why are people remembered?
Sometimes. like Aquila and Pris-
ella. for something they do "on
the side" something they never
get money for doing Able and
eloquent men who have been Off
center In their religious thinking
have done the Christian religion
much harm. II was a blessing
that the early Christian church
was not torn by a half-baked
Apollos preaching a half-gospeL
So this harmonious husband-and-
wife team are specially noted not
for their Jewish family tree, not
for their hardships as refugees.
not for the skill as craft-work-
ers. not even for their heroism.
Above all, they were teachers;
teaching by example, by unity in
love, teaching by word and argu-
ment. They did not found a col
lege, they asked for no pay and
got none. They taught right where
they were-at home. They did not
wait for opportunity to teach;
they made it. OF such are the
great teachers

8 Presidents
Sign Pledge


WASHINGTON. DC. The
Presidents of eight of Americas
largest corporations Wednesday
signed eight papers pledging to
end racial discrimination in their
firms.
Each document called a Pledge
for Progress'D was like the pledge
made seven weeks ago by Lock
heed /. Aircraft Corp.
In signing the paper, each of the
top executives pledge his com
pany TO campaign against racial
discrimination in hiring, training,
promotion, and working condi-
tons for its employees
The pledges are the results of
President Kcnncdy's promise of
swift executive action for civil
rights.
/ The Administration has not yet
asked Congress to pass civil rights
legislation But the White House
and the various executive de-
partmcnts and agencies have
often taken actions under author
ity they already possess.
For example:
o Interior Secretary UdalI has
told the Washington Redskins
! they can't play football in the
Capitals new stadium unless they
hire Negro football-playcr.
. The conccssionairc in Yellow
stone National Park has been
ordered to hire qualified Negroes.
. The White House broke up
several bowling leagues sponsored
by government agencies because
they were segregated.

view of American writer's of
various sections of the country

existing in their own lives and
in the lives of those around
them. The result is a panoramic
view of the period, through its
literature, in the East, the
South, the West; in the village,
the city, the business world.
Brooks has praise for these
writer's who paint the Ameri-
can scene in all the variety of
its beauty, its ugliness, its
trials, its successes; the energy.
