that some officials were amorously
inclined, he had the Ministry of
Education make public a notice
which aimed at putting a damper
on the love antics of his subordin-

The notice stated in effect: "On

Eisenhower and King Mohammed

faithful way to follow President
Kennedy's policy of encouraging
African and Asian governments in
their efforts to remain independ-
ent of East or West would be to
evacuate the bases as quickly as
possible. But many Air Force and

IF we move out, the Soviets are

Hassan II is committed by his late
fathers agreement to respect the
1868 deadline.
Unofficially some members of
his government would like to see
the bases handed over before the
deadline in line with Morocco's
neutralist foreign policy and the
Kings desire to establish training
centers to which Morocco and
other African countries could send
personnel for needed technical edu-

other hand, Morocco must weigh
the fact that in light of chronic

Soy Roisin In Sun"
Drawing Better Abroad

Chicago (ANP) - "A Raisin in
the Sun" the film version of the
Broadway hit play written by Ne
gro playwright Lorraine Hansber-
ry, is repeatedly drawing better
abroad than it did in the United
States.
The reason suggested is that the
movie plays to an unrestricted
audience abroad. The stateside dis
tribution was cut short when Pro
Queer Sam Goldwyn refused to
permit the movie to be shown in
segregated Dixie theatres.

Assn, Convention

Madison, Wis. (ANP) - Com
ments on a speech by William F.
Buckley, a conservative editor, last
week produced a night-long rift
between two officials of the Ma
tional Student Association meet
ing here.
Robert Davis, Chairman of the
Kentucky-Tennessee region enter
ed a motion to censure statements
made by National Affairs Vice
President Timothy Jenkins COM
menting on a speech by William F.
Buckley, editor of National Re-
view magazine. Davis charged that
Jenkins violated the N.S.A. par
tisan political activities"
The motion was sent to the gen.
eraI convention after it was de-
feated in a special night-long ses-
sion of the N.S.A.'s executive COM
mittee.
Buckley criticized the N.S.A. for
taking stands on issues unrelated
to education. He said:
1--WE cannot enjoy our freedom
unless we have experienced it. One
of the great liberal fallacies is to
assume that we can have freedom
for the Mau-Maus, for Mozambi-
que, and for Algeria. The N.S.A,
stand on Mozambique and Algeria
is geographically and anthropolog-
ically illiterate," Buckley said.
Eustace Mendis, a Ceylonese stu
dent leader and guest at the con-
gress, suggested that Buckley was
inconsistent in championing Amer
lean freedom while defending col
onial rule in parts Of Africa.
Buckley answered that anyone

Mother is 35D
Mother told her daughter that
she had enjoyed many of the So
called modern pleasures that young
people were enjoying today but
she said to Anne, would you like
to hear how my Grandmother en-
joyed her YOUTH"
OF course she said yes and
Mother barbara Ann began:
Your Grandmother, quite unlike
most teen-agers today, enjoyed her
youth very much. She liked to
make clothes for her dolls so she
was sent to a class in sewing that
met on Saturday afternoons down
town in a store.
Saturday mornings she took her
piano lessons. She really enjoyed
being with her sewing class MEM
bers. To her, this was not work
but something she really liked.
Here, she and her close friends
talked over their plans for their
Sunday afternoon get-together
meetings.
Each Sunday afternoon about
four o'clock, the young girls and
boys, 1918 who were close
friends met at each others par
ents' homes. They spent the after
Moons playing the piano, singing,
playing games and talking. The
highlight of the afternoon was the
time the mother of the hostess
would serve the group with home
made delicacy that was always
topped with homemade ice
cream. In fact, everything that
was served was homemade. How
Grandma and her friends enjoyed
these afternoons with her friends!
Grandma's parents and the rest
of the family turned 1.-The parlor"
over to the young people for the
afternoon, but, they were enjoy
ing an afternoon sitting close by
in the sitting room. Here they read
the Sunday paper and enjoyed lis
tening to their children's voices as
they sang and laughed.
In the winter, when Grandma
went to a formal dance she had to
carry her slippers in a bag made
for the purpose. At the time, she
wore high top button shoes during
the day time.
When she was dressed for the
party she and her beau started
walking to the nearest street car
line which was usually severa
blocks away. 1t was a very rare
time when any one of the boys
+ could afford to hire a hack.
What was a hack? Anne was
asking. Her mother told her a
hack was a horse drawn carriage
for hire. Anne, quite puzzled
laughed at the idea of a hack, sc
her mother, Barbara Anne said
the day will come when your chill
dren may laugh at you when they
learn you rode" around in cars
because by that time they will be
flying from roof to roof to get tC
their friends houses! That was 6
SOLDERING thought for Anne and, as
is the way with the very young
she could not imagine anything
like that.
| BY six o'clock the young people
started their walk to their church
to attend the young peoples sever
o'clock meeting. By eight o'clocl
most of their parents, or at leas
one of them, would be in church
for the evening services.
After the services were over tn,
family would start the long wall

Prince Hall Group
Seek Unificofion
Of Masonic Bodies


fort to unite all Prince Hall and
non-Prince Hall bodies into one
Masonic organization whose legal
ity would be undisputed the Most
Worshipful Prince Hall Grand
Lodge of Maryland, S. T. Daniels,
grand master, in its Hath annual
convocation here in Baltimore,
passed unanimously a resolution
calling for a meeting with Prince
Hall Masons and members of nom
Prince Hall bodies who allege
themselves to be Masons.
The Prince Hall organization, Of
ficials stated, is the first and only
organization authorized to be reg
ular Masons and connected with
the parent Grand Lodge of Eng
land
Prince Hall, a free-born Amer
lean Negro, was founder of the
first Negro lodge and grand lodge
of Masons. From this beginning
came, in an unbroken chain, all
other Prince Hall lodges.
The resolution passed was as
follows: Whereas Prince Hall Ma
sonry traces its origin to the is
suance of the first Masonic char
ter to Negroes and, because of its
history, nature and development
rightly lays claim to mchallenged
legitimacy, and,
Whereas thousands of worthy
Negro men have been indicted
into organizations that represent
themselves as being Masonic bod
les using degrees, insignia, dress,
rituals and other evidences of a
type similar to that to which
Prince Hall masonry has a sole
right, and,
Whereas it is fitting and proper
that all good and worthy men
should be members of a Masonic
body whose right to existence can
not be challenged,
Therefore be it resolved that a
call be issued to all non-Prince
Hall Masons urging them to be re-
ceptive to the converting of a con-
ference that would result in a
merger into one truly Masonic
Fraternity of all groups now al
leging to be Masonic. Be it furth-
err resolved that the conference call
be issued and received in the true
spirit of Masonry.
Commenting upon the resolution,
o. c. w. Taylor, New Orleans,
director of public relations for the
Conference of Grand Master,
Prince Hall Masons and the Su-
preme Council, Scottish Rite, 33rd
degree Prince Hall Masons, South
ern Jurisdiction, said it was high
time that some effort be made to
truthfully inform men who have
been duped into joining spurious
organizations alleging themselves
to be Masons.
These spurious organizations,
claiming to be Masons," he said,
have made Negro Masonry the
laughing stock of the nation" He
referred to the actions of these
men as being classified as racke-
teering and downright stealing.
No mention was made by the
Maryland organization as to how
or when the resolution might be
placed in operation. Prince Hall
Masons have for a long time been
interested in riding the country of
bogus and clandestine Masonry
and many legal suits have been
prosecuted in the courts. In prac-
tically every case Prince Hall Ma
sons have been victorious.
Prince Hall Masons now have
grand lodges in many countries in
GLIDING the U.S.A., Africa, Haiti,
the Bahamas, and Canada.

journalistic junkets before. In the
early forties l was on the road
for Is months during which Wis
tied So cities and 80 military in
stallations in SO states. I had also
spent 80 months in the Pacific as
a war correspondent during World
War II.
Even though the airlines place
restrictions on the amount of bag
gage one carries, it makes sense
to carry as little as possible be-
cause in most instances you are
forced to lug the stuff around
yourself. You can't depend on find
ing porters in out of the way
places.
There are essentials, of course.
You must have clothes, the tools
of your trade-typewriter, Gamer
as, tape recorder-and toilet art-
cles.
Your clothing requirements are
greatly reduced if you carry the
right kind and do your own laun-
dry. Here's my list:
One pair of black shoes which I
am wearing.
Two wrinkle resistant suits,
black and gray, one of which am
wearing.
One pair of bermuda shorts (for
relaxing in my ROOM.
Seven suits of underwear.
Seven wash and wear short
sleeve white shirts.
One sport shirt (for relaxing.
Seven pairs of sox, black and
gray.
Four neckties.
One lightweight cotton robe.
One pair of lightweight bedroom
slippers.
One lightweight raincoat.
These items I carry in a suit
case.
My toilet articles are in small
quantities and in unbreakable plas-
tic containers. These 1 carry in a
leather case 10 inches long, II
inches high and eight inches wide
which call my "office."
In addition to my toilet articles,
my office" contains one NINA
ture tape recorder, and everything
else I need to work with except
my typewriter and cameras.
Among my working materials
are reference material on the
countries III visit, tipping and car
bon paper, envelopes, a supply of
questionnaires in English and
French to be used for the survey,
a map of Africa, a supply Of pass
port photos for additional visas,
film, extra tapes, a flashlight, a
two-wave transistor radio, and an
IL" 16" leather envelope to be
used for business appointments.
Since I wear the cameras around
my neck, I am required to carry
only the suitcase weighing %
pounds loaded; my office" which
weigh 16 pounds fully QUILTED
and my typewriter which weighs
seven pounds. I check only the
suitcase; because I am still self
sufficient in case it is lost or de-
layed.
The beauty of the whole thing is
that the further I progress along
my itinerary the lighter my bur-
den becomes as I mail back to the
office the film, the tapes, the stor-
les and reports.
And another reason for the
gradual decrease in the weight of
my burden is that, by following my
doctors orders, I have fewer pills
each day of the huge supply he
provided as with when left home.
