gist, DR.. Kenneth B. Clark, has

to the damaging effects of Jim
Crow public education upon the
minds of both white and Negro
pupils in the legal cases leading to
the historic Supreme Court deseg-
regation decision of May IL, 1854.
DR.. Clark contributed unstint-
ingly of his time and ingenuity in
the preparation of the cases for
the Supreme Court, and also as

forceful presentation made possible
the formulation of the historic le-

Washington
Student Reveals
Red Pressures
On Africans

How the Soviet Union segregates
its African students and uses them
for propaganda purposes is re-
vealed by Everest Mulekezi, now a
student at Washington State Uni
versity, in the July Readers Digest.
In an article, ~ Was a Student
at Moscow State" Mulekezi tells
how the Russians lured him to Mos
cow State University from his ma
tive Uganda with six-year schol-
arship plus 900 rubles ($225)
month for living expenses and ad-
ditional allowances for clothing and
an annual eight-week vacation.
Once he arrived, however, Mule
kezi found there were strings.
Government propagandists," he
writes, haunted the dormitories,
soliciting our photographs for ex-
port, asking for tape-recorded
statements which they broadcast
back to our countries. Every course
was laced with indoctrination.
Professors invariably phrased their
questions to ascertain whether our
reactions to communism were indif-
ferent or sympathetic; on the an
swers depended our grades and
treatment"
When authorities tried to bind
the Africans into a communist
dominated Afro-Arab League, Mu-
lekezi and others informed their
own All Black African Students
Union. Quickly they suffered fur
Their. Once-friendly Russian stu
dents Stunned them; those who re-
manned friendly had to meet them
secretly. Unpleasant incidents fol-
lowed; several times Africans were
attacked by their Red "hosts."
In 1860 Muleziki and other Afri-
cans decided to leave Moscow. Mu-
lekezi was given a scholarship to
Washington State University,
where he is now enrolled.
~ was one of the lucky ones"
he says. To-day, a hundred or
more Africans are floating around
Europe, impoverished and discour-
aged. They had the courge to get
cut of Moscow State University,
but they have hunted in vain for
free countries that would accord
them another educational oppor-
tunity."

Manners will get you in where
money will never take YOU
Throughout her lifetime with me,
my mother constantly taught me
this and nothing she told me
has ever been of greater value in
my day to day contact with my
fellowmen.
There is an old axiom that saW
all the best things in life are free.
The coin of courtesy can be pos
sessed by everyone, and when spent
generously, it can buy the greatest
gift one man can give another:
friendship. Let me give an example
from my own experience. Many
years ago l applied for position
as the stock supervisor for a huge
cartel of independent retail gro
Gerry stores. Applicant after APP
plicant was interviewed before me,
and one after another in turn was
rejected. Then came my chance.
The president of the organization,
who was interviewing the appli-
cants personally, gave me the full
treatment in his questioning on my
background and experience. To-
ward the close of the tough inter-
view, his wife entered the room to
bring him some papers he had re-
quested from his home. stood
when she entered, and remained
standing until she left. got the
job, but l did not know why until
long afterward when he told me
that my gesture of courtesy had
clinched it. l have never forgotten
that incident.
There is an erroneous belief
abroad in far too many instances
that an expression of courtesy iden-
titles one as being some sort of a
"Sambo." Nothing could be far
Their from the truth. Persons who
are well hammered almost without
exception are persons who possess
a high degree of self respect
and no one and l do mean no
one, brother who possesses this
quality can be classified as unduly
subservient.
Few doors of personal admiration
remain closed very long in the face
of gentility. As simple an express
sion as a pleasant good morning
provokes an equally pleasant re-
Spouse from the person to whom
the greeting is directed. The bust
ness of "love thy neighbor as thy
self" begins with the considerable,
courteous attention to that neigh
Dor. This form of charity is the
very bedrock Of all benificint phi
losophies.
This story is told of Thomas JEFF
ferson. One morning while stroll
ing with his grandson he passed a
slave who tipped his hat. The i'm
mortal President responded to the
greeting in the same manner, much
to the surprise of the boy who in
quired why his grandfather had
done SO. 81 permit no man to be
more courteous than l." Jefferson
replied.
If all the peoples of the earth
would engage in more of this day
by day personal consideration there
would be little need for the United
Nations.
