General Marshall Should
Resign

The headlines in part of the press, and the
oratory in certain partisan gatherings would make
it appear that the State Highway Department was
100 cent correct and the DFL party 100 per cent
off base in the uproar substandard construction
highway near Hinckley. What are the facts?
l. After inspector charged that inspection
reports had been ignored, and DFL spokesmen
blasted these into the headlines postnspecon tests
by General Marshalls highway department admitted
that the construction was indeed, substandard
2. The inspector who forced the post-inspection
test suspended and later separated from his job
He said he had been accused Of being too honest"
3. The US. Bureau of Public Roads issued a re-
port saying that 1t was satisfied with the highway
departments disposition of the case.
The Bureau may be, but hardly anybody else Is.

call and adopt progressive reforms
in political, social, educational, and
economic fields.
Personally, I am tired Of being
told that Negroes are incapable
Of progressive activities without
white mems constant help, and
push. And then add, Liberia and
Ethiopia stand as proofs. They are
the oldest independent African
states which are economically, soci-
ally, and educationally backward
and dependent on white mems help.
Only progress by these nations will
prove these assertions wrong.
Ghana and Egypt are showing
what African states can do once
they are politically free. It is time
Tubman and others follow the ex-
amples displayed by Ghana and
Egypt and respond to the call from
the youth for immediate progress
sive changes; otherwise Negro
youth throughout Africa will have
to call upon them to resign.
We have been huminated far
too long a time. Now it Is nothing
but a sign Of irresponsibility If
the black VOIIth Of today uyhara
ever they are, will stay idle when
any head Of state in our country
goes on employing colonial techni-
ques in maintaining his glory at
the expense Of our progress, digni-
ty, and respect, both at home and
abroad. - Felix Meta, Gustavus

New Policy Needed
On Defense Contracts

The Defense Department awards contracts for
plans missiles and other military hardware strictly
on dollar basis and to hell with everything else 1t
Is not concerned with what it calls economic diso-
cations when those dslocations inflict appall
ing economic losses and appalling human misery.
This, Secretary McNamara is quoted as saying,
is it should be.
He Is wrong. This is as 1t should not be.
Private industry sometimes acts this way, but
when it does it earns indignant criticism from the
public and often from the very Congress which is
ultimately responsible for the frivolous attitude of
the defense department toward the economic dislo-
cation" it fosters Sometimes private industry that
runs away from its obligations is required by the
government to go back and pick up the pieces-to
compensate and re-employ the victims.
When the defense department sponsors "econ-
omic dslocation" it not only throws numbers of
people out Of work. 1t confronts-very suddenly
an entire community with disaster. 1t closes bus
inesses 1t destroys the value of real estate vacates
houses in wholesale numbers and attaches deficiency
judgments against the buyers who have been forced
to abandon them.
At the same time 1t confronts another communi-
ty-the momentarily favored" community-with
all the problems of boom. The need for throw
ing houses up fast land often cheap and jerybuilt)
for financing construction that may have to be
abandoned after the next contract-letting, for
panding the business community often with mar
gnal sharp operators, for dealing with the social
and police problems attendant upon large influxes
Of new workers and their families all these are
part Of the cost Of Pentagon-style operations too
Who pays the cost? The American people do, Of
course. In one sense the cost falls most heavily
military personnel as they are obliged to move from
one marginal location to another, and to provide
their own housing for their families. The govern
ment makes it easy for them to do this-the first
time. Liberal finance terms available to them,
and houses of good quality be provided relative
Iy cheap But when site Is abandoned these houses
are unstable. The military man not only loses his
equity he Is held liable for the entire loss Of value
caused by Pentagon decision; this liability fol-
lows him to his next post, and complexities his prob
lem Of again providing shelter for his family.
Who pays the cost Of the frivolous Pentagon
attitude toward its responsibilities? The immediate
victims, especially do. But it is cost that falls
upon the entire country. This makes Secretary
McNamaras doctrine that the production contract is
the only cost the government is concerned with
appear ridiculous well as Irresponsible

mainder Of the Everett LuOna
group into consideration.
Because all individuals wish to
be accepted by the groups with
which they associate, they adjust
their thinking so as to be in con-
formity with the general view
point of the group. This is true
whether the group is a highly
cooperative one as certain early
Indian tribes were or if it gives a
high premium to individual aggres-
siveness as most groups do within
the United States.
Individuals with similar interests
tend to congregate and discuss pro-
blems that they have in common.
Through this discussion, solutions
to these problems are formalized.
Generally speaking, solutions to
problems are formalized by indiv-
iduals who are accepted by the
group as leaders.
An effective method therefore
of keeping groups with similar
problems disorganized is to con-
stanuy harass individuals who
wish to become leaders.
An example of this harassment
is the treatment presently ex-
Perienced by the leaders in the
present Negro civil rights strug-
gle.
The ideas that the members of
various groups tend toward are
ideas that the group believes to be
beneficial to the well-being Of the
group as a whole. Because differ
ent ideas are beneficial to different
groups, conflicting viewpoints may
prevail between groups.
Because different viewpoints are
beneficial to individuals with pro-
perty as compared with individuals
without property a primary cleav-
age Is found within society. This
cleavage becomes the difference in
views between the employers and
the employed.
The employer is concerned with
the profits he can make on his
property and the employee is con-
cerned with a return for his labors.
This difference In views cannot
be reconciled because there Is no
way Of determining what Is q fair.
wage as there Is no way Of deter
mining what is a fair profit. The
side that prevails Is dependent on
the political and economic power
Of these conflicting interests.
The complexity of American
government is utilized by the pro-
pertied interests to prevent a
group mind from being formulated
that would unite the non-propert-
led interests. AS a result, labor
organizations are weaker within
the United States than they are
within any other Of the Western
countries that can be considered
democratic.
The group mind Of the work.
ing class has generally been mis-
placed because Of ineffective pol
itical leadership. The white men,
bers Of the working class con-
slider the primary threat to their
status as being the Negro and
as a result their group mind Il
directed more toward holding the
Negro down than uniting with
the Negro so that together they
can rise.
This misdirection of antagon-
isms makes it safe for Congress
to be as anti-labor as the present
Congress is. More anti-labor legis-
lation will probably be passed this
year to add to the Taft-Hartley
Law and the Landrum- Griffin Bill.
This will occur until labor unites
and recognizes that the
reasons for poverty among all
peoples are the same.

Communism In Africa
Through The Eyes
Of Africa SSudan

Vt ATFIC0 S1Uoen4
Editor: 1t is now clear-through
reading our newspaper and others
that some African heads of
states are employing colonial and
imperialistic techniques in suppress
sing and oposing legitimate strug-
gle for progress in Africa. These
leaders label any call for political,
social, and economic changes by
the young, educated, and progress
sive youths, a communistic or
neighbor state inspired struggle.
This is far from the truth.
The fact is that these heads of
state are accusing others of the
same crime" they themselves
were accused Of when they were
fighting for independence. It is
known fact that DR.. Nkrumah,
president of Ghana, and many
other African leaders with African
interests at heart have, at one
time or other, been called commun-
lists. If by calling them commun-
lists 1t means that they are work
ing for Russia's interests, there
is nothing to prove this assertion.
The fact Is that most of those
accused Of communistic activities
are those who really want to work
for true political, economic, social,
and even spiritual progress and in
dependence in Africa.
The accusors, for example, Pres
ident Tubman of Liberia who is
accusing the African youth of ir-
responsibility, are those who have
ruled for years, and yet did moth
ing for the people.
Liberia is one among the most
underdeveloped states in Africa.
Yet this country has had political
independence for about 100 years.
This Is intolerable to any right
thinking Negro youth everywhere.
The article in the Minneapolis
Tribune Of January %, 1868, by
that able writer and friend of AZ
rica, Miss Miriam Album, shows
how far Tubman has been and
still is a stooge for the imperial
istic world. A worker in Liberia
earns only ten cents per hour.
He ought to respond to the youth

DRY POINTS
BY FRED GRAM

The marvel is not that all those
people were able to endure so miles
Of hiking. The marvel is that they
were able to survive so miles Of
lodging highway traffic.
Americans are painfully aware
Of the uses made Of the hammer
in that Communist emblem. But,
considering the state Of agricul-
ture in the Red world, what earth
ly use do they have for the sickle I?
Exposures Of the college basket
ball scandals should not necessari-
ly discourage honest gamblers. To-
day you put your money not on
which alumni were most success
full in buying the best players, but
on which syndicate was most sue
cessful In corrupting them.
Between the medical, wonder
drug, automotive and dietetical in
dustries, we are now at a point
where we can die Of virtually any
cause we choose except boredom.
Tho only occasion we can think
Of for one Of those long hikes is
no good either. II it's too cold for
the internal combustion motor, it's
too cold for the human locomotor.
