The Dangers Of
Student Exchange

Editor of Herald,
The recent disclosure that
Communist East Germany is
conducting an American Negro
agitation training center lends a
deeper significance to warnings
we've been given lately by lead
ing Americans as to the dangers
involved in the student exchange
programs with foreign countries.
This training center, entitled
Institute for the Advancement
of the Negro Race educates
students from such new African
countries as Ghana. Congo and
Guinea they'll come to the
U. S. later - in methods of ex-
plotting racial di fferences be-
tween whites and Negroes in the
American South.
Senator Barry Goldwater, con-
sentative spokesman, has said:
The Communists purpose is to
show that the Soviet people
are ordinary people just like our
selves, that Communism is just
another political system.
1.-The exchange program is a
Communist confidence game. Let
us not be taken in by it. Let US
remember that American conf
dence in the Soviet government
is the very last thing we want"
Dr. Wilbur NJ Smith. theology
professor and writer. warns that
Americas government would
certainly be guilty of furthering
the influence of atheistic thought
in our country by it so-caued
cultural exchange program"
A United Nations report says
twice as many students from
Communist countries S tudie d
abroad in 1850 as in 1859. It
would not be exaggeration to
liken such an exchange student
from a Communist country to a
coiled rattlesnake in a dimly-lit
bedroom.

Mr.. Boothe has overlooked the fact
that all public schools are mtegrated
by forces of the federal government.
The only reason that every public school
is not physically integrated is that no
Negro has applied to a white school, or
no white applied to a Negro school. BY

But, Mr. Boothe evidently overlooks

44S. This section repealed all other such

Cancer Fund Crusade Gets
 Underway Tonight

The ringing of the Community Methodist Church bell at six o'clock this evening will signal the start of the house to house Cancer Fund Crusade with vol unteer workers from each block in the community calling on her neighbors, stated Lucille Gilbert, campaign chairman.
 Everyone is urged to have their contribution ready so that the campaign can be completed with in very short time.
 Last year cancer took the lives of more than 4,000 children under 15 years of age. About half of them died of leukemia, which is a cancer of the blood forming tissue. More school children died of cancer than from any other disease. Today there are about 100000 American children under 13 who have lost their fathers to cancer, and about 250,000 have lost their mothers.
 The annual hospital bill for cancer is estimated at about $50 million dollars. The average hos pital bill is $675.
 So do your bit by contributing tonight when your neighbor calls.
 Beta Sigma Phi with Bev Mor- gan in charge will take the busi- ness houses.
 Other block captains are Christie Waldhelm, Kathryn To- bulk, Johnnie Stephenson, Lucille Gilbert, Jean O'Sullivan, Mary Pitcher, Myrtle Johnson, Barbara Martin, Doris Wilke, Alice Hud- son, Peggy Kelliher, Ellen Jones, haron UnterWagner, Bessie Moses, Lottie Bahnke, Jean Bu- rand, Ella Tanner and Rose Bron- l son.
 The block captains are organ ized under the leadership of FL len Jones, Alma GIavinovich and BeV Morgan.
