leadership"
Have courage to strive and dare.
We must all work together to
achieve the happy goal of .
progress for all of Liberia" he
said.
Supervised and implemented by
the Tuskegee School of Education,
the project has the technical super
vision of DR.. William A. Hunter,
dean of the school, and John p.
Krouse, campus coordinatOr.
Five educational advisors already
in Liberia are Mr. and Mrs. Pol
lard, Mr.. and Mrs Shelley F. Ly-
nem, and William A. Pearson, MI
formerly of the st. Louis, Mo.
school system
Before leaving Tuskegee last
week, DR.. Brown explained her en-
thusiasm for work in Africa's old
est republic:
~We haven't done too well in
that part of the world Much de-
dends on this project In Africa
where there Is this great complex
of race, it is very important that
we do something concrete, particu-
larly in Liberia since it has been
for Us . stepchild. We must do
something to make them have con-
fidence in helping align these other
countries with us in the Cold War.
/ think it goes just that deep"
Liberia" she explained, should
be far and away ahead of the other
African countries"
On the contrary, however, Lib
eria's need for trained elementary
teachers is acute Of her some 500
schools of various types, only two
colleges serve her 5000 900 people.
And since 75R of the rurM elemen-
tary teachers have less than IN
eighth grade education and No
special training for teaching In ru-
raj schools, the Tuskegee educa-
tional mission is urgent.
The mission is to develop and
operate the Rural Elementary Tea
cher Training Institute IN Zorzor,
and is similar to the five-year tech
nical assistance program which
Tuskegee completed with the Re
public of Indonesia under contract
with ICA In 1859.
DIR. Brown jovially insists that
two years of deprications in the
hinteriands won't bother me" Her
training for this assignment, she
says, began hack in 1884, living
with sharecroppers in all of the
cotton-growing states except Flori-
da under . julius Rosenwad Fund
project"
She says further that the desire
to 60 to Africa SIS NO recent fever
with me. I've been wanting to 60
for 10 years" knowing more about
Africa is important, too, to her
American students, she said, but
this can't come just through books.
You must live through this and
feel the tempo, live with the peo-
pie"

Journey Award (1959) and = John

that estates Of persons who die
without heirs go to the District
for the benefit of the poor.
The United States claimed
the money under a statute
setting aside unclaimed estates
of soldiers for support Of the

The appeals court, in an
opinion by Judge George T.
Washington, said the claim of
the United States, contained in
a statue of national applica-
ton, must prevail over the other
statute pertaining only to the
District of Columbia.
Judge Washington looked to
the intent of Congress in estab-
fishing the Soldiers Home in
1851 as a place for retired,
wounded or disabled service
men.
1T is only reasonable that
Congress would require that the
unclaimed moneys of an inmate
Of the home be used for the

Retains Funds
BY DANA BULLEN
Star staff Writer

The United States Court OF
Appeals ruled today that the
Soldiers Home rather than the
District of Columbia should get
money of servicemen who die
in the Home without heirs.
The ruling was made in q
case which involved the estate
of Albert j. Smith, who served
81 years in the Regular Army
and retired in 1928 as a master
sergeant. Mr.. Smith, born ir
1870, entered the home in 1856
and died there in 1859.
Both the United States Gov
ernment and the District gov
eminent claimed the 1888;
that he left. This was the first
time the District had fought
the Federal claim to estate:
of soldiers who died at thS
home without heirs.
The District, which earlier
