resolved, the same Africans wife
and daughter were thrown out Of
a restaurant on Maryland's Route
40, Rowan said. He went on to ex-
plain how such incidents have far
reaching repercussions, all unfav-
orable to the United States.
He cited compelling reasons"
why this country should use the
labor force Of the Negro.
Nation Faces Shortage
The United States, he said, by
making small use of nonwhites, Is
in effect fighting the cold war"
with one hand tied behind its back.
He recalled the warning message
of former Labor Secretary James
P. Mitchell who said that by 1865,
the US. will need IL million more
workers in its labor force or face
an acute shortage which would
place national security in a peril
GUS position.
Rowan said the former labor
secretary received wide support
for his comments that day. But,
despite this kind of testimony,
the Negro labor force still suffers"
Rowan declared.
Rowan said the idea that organ
iZations like the Urban League
perform a charitable service for
the Negro Is far from the truth.
The Urban League in Chicago and
in all League cities performs a
service for all the people. Many
prominent southern whites, he said,
are afraid to fraternize with Ne
groes - even when they have the
desire to do so. A mulu-racial Soc
iety is the only means by which
we can achieve complete freedom
for all, Rowan said.
Berry Sees Hopeful Future
I'VE must never be so foolish to
abandon reason or too timid to
move in passion" he declared,
speaking in reference to the ap-
proach to defeating racial injus-
tees.
Edwin c. Berry, executive secre-
tary of the Chicago Urban League,
said, Americas treatment of the
darker citizen has become her
barometer Of democracy"
Berry, in his annual report to
the organization, said the future
Of Chicago's racial climate us
hopeful"
Delivers Challenge
He repeated a comment he made
during his recent testimony here
on job discrimination before Con-
gresham James Roosevelt and the
House Committee on Labor and
Education.
When asked by a Committee
member to compare Chicago in
race relations to other large cities
in the nation, Berry replied: I'VE
have in the past been somewhat
backward race RELATIONSHIPS. But
we have been working and organ
izing for a real assault on bigotry,
segregation and discrimination. In
this regard, Chicago has just be-
gun to roll. We are just getting
up our head Of steam We will
move so fast in interracial i'm
provement that many other towns
won't even see our dust"
Berry said this improvement
will not just happen, it will be
caused - by you who are here
today" He told the interracial
audience that "our democratic ex-
pertinent must succeed If the free
world Is to withstand the on.
slaughts from those outside who's
theology would destroy us all"

INSTITUTIONS are largely the result
of racial discrimination in employ
ment.
Rowan, prize-winning journalist
and former staff writer of the
Minneapolis Tribune, said he knew
Of nothing more stupid and trea-
sonable" than racial discrimination
In the midst of a "cold war"
Cites Soviet Progress
Russia's scientific progress didn't
just happen, Rowan continued. He
said the Soviets used all their
available resources and emphasized
the Importance of educating their
youth and 'Sputnik + was the out
come of this program.
How wise have we been?" he
asked the 1900 persons gathered
at the annual meeting Of the Chi
cago Urban League at Mccormick
Place, new exhibition hall over
looking Lake Michigan.
Rowan said while some Of the
anxiety over Russia's space ach-
ievements has lessened, the chal-
lenge to United States security
still remains. While we need mil
itary strength, he continued, what
we need even more is a crash pro-
gram for moral strength.
No Panacea For Problems
He said Americans can no longer
say we don't care what the rest OF
the world thinks. While we used
to be able to say we can lick any
body in a showdown, there is nc
panacea for the problems which
confront us today.
Rowan, who has lectured for the
State Department throughout In
dia, Pakistan and southeastern
Asia, recalled the historic Asian.
African conference in Banding
which he covered as reporter.
He recalled the words of Indian
Prime Minister Jawaharlal NehrU
who told that 1855 gathering Of

we can be their friends only as

Indian Leader Slurred
While on a State Department
mission in India in 1854, Rowan
was informed by the Chief Justice
Of that country that in 1887 he
had been denied service in a dining
car in the United States. He tolc
the League audience that on this
occasion he had to reverse his talk
on freedom of the US. press tt

at the request of his Indiar
hosts.
He said he then realized thai
any talk about how free Americas
press Is or comment about how
many Negroes in this country have
not been ground under the dirt
would be Of no consequence.
II was convinced that the people
back home will have to insure
equal rights to all men," Rowan
said.
Africans Feel Bias
The speaker recalled "a delicate
situation" in Washington In which
a top-ranking African diplomat
had to go to bat for the UniteC

situation could have developed into
