Peace and Progress
Our Basic Purposes

Throughout Americas ad;
venture in free government
our basic purposes have been to
keep the peace: to foster prog.
ress in human achievement. and
to enhance liberty. dignity anc
integrity among people and
among nations. To strive fol
less would be unworthy OF Q
free and religious people. Any
failure traceable to arrogance
or our lack Of comprehensive
or readiness to sacrifice would
inflict upon US grievous hurt,
at home and abroad.
Progress toward these noble
goals is persistently threatened
by the conflict now engulfins
the world. It commands our
whole attention, absorbs our
very beings. We face a hostile
ideology-global in scope. athe.
istic in character. ruthless in
purpose, and insidious in
method. Unhappily the danger
it poses promises to be Of in
definite duration. To meet II
successfully, there is called

A Strong Defense
is Vital to Peace

A vital element in keeping
the peace is our military estab-
lishment. Our arms must be
mighty. ready for instant &C.
ton. so that no potential ag-
gressor may be tempted to risk
his own destruction.
Our military organization to-
day bears little relation to that
known by any Of my predeces-
sors in peacetime, or indeed by
the fighting men Of World War
II or Korea.
Until the latest Of our world

This conjunction Of an i'm

and a large arms industry is
new in American experience
The total influence-economic

in every city. every State house
every office Of the Federal gov

Guard Against
Misplaced Power

In the councils Of Govern
ment, we must guard against
the acquisition Of unwarranted
influence, whether sought or
unsought. by the military
industrial complex. The poten-
tial for the disastrous rise Of
misplaced power exists and will
persist.
We must never let the weight
OF this combination endanger
our liberties or democratic
processes. We should take
nothing for granted. Only an
palert and knowledgeable citi-
zenry can compel the proper
meshing of the huge industrial
and military machinery of
defense with our peaceful
methods and goals. so that
security and liberty may prosper
together.
Akin to, and largely respon-
sible for the sweeping changes
in our industrial-military
posture, has been the technolo-
gical revolution during recent
decades.

No Easy Solutions
Crises there will continue to
be. In meeting them, whether
foreign or domestic. great or
small. there is a recurring
temptation to feet that some
spectacular and costly action
could become the miraculous
solution to all current diff
culties. A huge increase in
newer elements of our defense;
development of unrealistic pro-
grams to cure every i'll in agri-
culture; a dramatic expansion
In basic and applied research
these and many other possibil-
tiles, each possibly promising

the only way to the road we
wish to travel.
But each proposal must be
weighted In the light Of a
boader consideration: The need
to maintain balance in and
among national programs -
balance between the private

ance between cost and hoped

the clearly necessary and the
comfortably desirable; balance
between our essential require

duties imposed by the Nation

between actions of the moment

ceremony, the authority of the
President is vested in my sue
ceSsor.
This evening I come to you
with a message of leave-taking
and farewell, and to share a
few final thoughts with you
my countrymen.
Like every other citizen.
wish the new President, and
all who will labor with him,
Godspeed. I pray that the
coming years will be blessed
with peace and prosperity for
al. Our people expect their
President and the Congress to
find essential agreement on
issues of great moment. the
wise resolution of which will
better shape the future of the
Nation.
MY own relations with the
Congress, which began on a
remote and tenuous basis when,
long ago, a member of the Sen
ate appointed me to West Point,
have since ranged to the inti-
mate during the war and the
immediate postwar period, and,
finally, to the mutually inter-
dependent during these past
eight years.
In this final relationship, the
Congress and the administra-
ton have, on most vital issues,
co-operated well to serve the
national good rather than mere
partisanship, and so have as
sured that the business Of the
Nation should go forward. So,
my official relationship with
the Congress ends in q feeling,
on my part. of gratitude that
we have been able to do so
much together.

ductive Nation in the world.
Understandably proud Of this
pre-eminence, we yet realize
that Americas leadership and

upon our unmatched material
progress, riches and material
strength, but on how we use
our power in the interests Of
world peace and human better

Tells Arabs OF

The AFL-CIO Dept. of init. At

Unions policies or racial discrimi-

In an introduction to the pam
phlet, AFL-CIO Pres. George
Meany declares that the declara-
tion by the Executive Council of
the African Students Union in the
USSR-the text of the publication
-"makes a factual exposure and
forceful indictment" of discrimina-
ton in the Soviet paradise"
"The African students in the
USSR," Meany writes, shave rem
dered inestimable service to the
worldwide fight against racialism
by their time marshalling of the
interchangeable facts regarding
the extent and vitulence of racial
ism in the USSR."
| Citing the continuing progress
being made in the United States
against racialism, Meany declares
wherever there is total monopoly
of power, there is despotism. Mon
opoly of power, whether it is rooted
in political, racial, economic or
class soil, is the deadly enemy of

The Powell Amendment And Federal
Aid To Education

UP IN Washington the other day the bill for federal
aid to education backed by President Kennedy was pre-
sented to the Congress, and Immediately Congressman
Adam Clayton Powell, of New York now chairman of
the powerful House Education and Labor Committee
announced that he would insist attaching to the bill
the now famous Powell Amendment that would denv
federal funds to any state refusing abide by the S
preme Court decision in the school Indignation cases bv
maintaining separate schools for Negro and white stu
dents.
In every of this kind northern Negro leaders
like Congressman Powell, would have it known that
they are acting behalf of the southern Negro rather
than behalf of their northern constituents in most
cases because of lack of knowledge of the wide rang
ing Facets or the problems confronting the SOUTH and
southern Negroes except for the broadly generazed
charge of segregation such claims of concern for south
ing in sincerity ~
In the case of Negro education in the south it ap-
pears to us that getting the much needed schools and
school facilities is far more logical primary demand
1t is recognized by all authorities that in those
states of the south where most Negroes live the states
themselves are not able to provide all the funds needed
Tor the quality schools and the quality education for all
American citizens envisioned in the Kennedy bill
1t is also acknowledged by informed Observers de-
spite the arguments for ntegration of all public schools

school Indignation cases. that southern Negro educa

cause of separate schools
The federal aid to education bill offered by Presi
oent Kennedy II enacted into law, will go long way in
proVdng the funds for those southern states the lack
OF which has long been the primary cause for
the broad discrimination practiced in Negro education
Despite all of the arguments to the contrary, the
primary aim OF the Supreme Court in the school nte
grafton cases was to guarantee equality education for
every American citizen And in this as in all other
connections contend that the Negro is an American
CITIZEN that all things being equal school in the SOUTH
or In any other place in the United States with ali
negro students, is just much American school as
an awhte or mixed school in the south or any where
else in the nation
Inc Negro will be far better off psychologicaly and
the Negro problem in the United States will be long
toward solution when Negro leaders in high places
star eadng Negroes to think of themselves always
as Negroes but always American citizens
Finally we are of the opinion, that Negro education
IN the SOUTH and American education generally will be
greatly advanced if the Kennedy bill for federal aid to
education Is enacted into law without the Powell Amend
ment. = ~

a campaign to secure wage in
creases of IA cents an hour for oil
industry members, will move in
April to initiate it's next round
of bargaining with the industry.
OCAW Pres. o. A. Knight has
announced that five area meetings
of oil union delegates will be held
in April to discuss the desires of
members for the next round of ne
gotiations. Most oil contracts will
not be open for negotiations until
late in the year but the area meet
ings are a first step toward unified
negotiations, Knight said.
Delegates from the mid-conti-
nent area will meet Apr. 14-15 in
Kansas City; from West Coast and
