recently to a Los Angeles group.

The approval was considered a
significant step in making funds

broad economic aspects by making

basis," said Atty. Loren Miller.
Negroes have long taught that

East ST. Louis
Banks Agree To
Hire J NeoroeS

East st. Louis, nj. (ANP) -
Negro leaders, scored a major
breakthrough" an agreement on
hiring with East St. Louis banks
and savings and loan associations.
James Peake, an NAACP field
secretary said that demonstrators
would rest few days and then
move against alleged discrimina-
ton in employment by super
markets, the Illinois Power Co. or
Southwest Bell Telephone Co.
Leaders were undecided which
would be the next target, he said.
The settlement with four banks
and four savings and loan associ-
ations, reached after a two-hour
meeting is "just one step in long
campaign against job, discrinina-
tion in East st. Louis" Peake de-
clared.
Rex Carr, a lawyer and SpokeS-
man for the financial institutions,
announced the hiring agreement
after a meeting at City Hail.
Under the agreement, 20 Ne
groes will be hired in clerical jobs
at the banks and savings associa-
tions as soon as they can be screen
ed. Seven will be given full-time
positions Immediately. The others
will be hired ON a part-time trainee
basis and viii receive REGULAR jobs

knights Of Columbus
Chief Denies Roce
Bur; Claims 10000

Milwaukee (ANP) - The Su-
prene Knight of the knights of
Columbus, the largest Roman Cath
olic fraternal organization with
1,152,000 members, recently de-
clared that the organization well
comes Negroes into its member
ship, in answering charges that it
practices racial discrimination.
Luke E. Hart, of New Haven,
Coli, the 83-year-old KC leader,
made the statement after arriving
here to preside over the knights
81st annual international conven-
ton at the Schroeder Hotel The
convention opened with a Ponti-
fical Mass celebrated by the Most
Rev. Charles P. Greco, bishop Of
Alexandria, La, supreme chaplain.
Hart said charges of discr4mina-
tion against the Knights orgariza-
ton are unfair, and added that
there are already thousands of Ne
gro members. He stated:
1--WE are in favor of Negro men,
bership, as proved by the fact that
we already have about 10000 Ne
groes in our organization.
He admitted, however, that he
could not substantiate the figure
on Negro membership, explaining:
II don't say this figure can be
definitely determined, because ON
our applications there is no men,
ton of race or color.
"An Catholics come ito the altar
rail and receive Holy Communion,
with no distinction as to race or
color. doubt If anyone can give
you a correct number of Negroes
THAT distinction just isn't made"
Hart's remarks, painting a rosy
picture of easy access TO member
ship to Negroes, was in sharp
contrast to charges against the
organization in several states, in
cluding Illinois, Indiana and Ken
lucky.
Only recently, a Chicago laymen
group, called the Lake Meadows
Of Catholic Men, conducted an in
vestigation which reportedly show
ed that the knights Local chapter
discrimdnates against Negroes.
Latter, a spokesman for the chap
ter added Insult to injury by re-
marks to the press, which alleged
ly attacked the integrity Of Ne
gro Catholics. He later denied the
charge.
In Indianapolis, Ind, the Cath
Ollie archdiocesan newsweel1ly,
Criterion" charged that, 'by and
large, the Knights are still operat-
ing, in practice at least, under a
banner emblazoned for whites
only"

you and tell you, But Mother,
my teacher says to tal0e our time
and look up and down before we
cross the street and to always go
to the corner to cross the street."
You were In a hurry and did not
think how the word hurry sound
ed to him. OF course you meant for
him to look up and down the
street first and for him to go to
the corner. You take those things
for granted but he wants you to
tell him like his teacher does, in
so many words, until he is old
enough to do those things auto
madcally. The teacher knows how
much he can absorb and what
length Of time it takes but she
never pushes" him too fast. That
is one reason the child has so much
faith and trust in his teacher. She
understands him. Mothers love
their children and they have great
respect for their teachers. Some
times they forget to tell the teach
ers how much they appreciate
them, but a kind word now and
then would help ease the load they
carry.

yet is rare; the courage Of a

warded Of all forms Of courage

Minneapolis spokesman., 1963-09-05

Record of Louisville, KY, charged
recently that the overall record
of the Knights Of Columbus in the
racial area is unbelievably bad"
Hart took issue with the Louis
vile papers charge. He produced
a letter of rebuttal from a high
church official, lone of many writ
ten in protest to these criticisms"
Hart was expected to elected to
his 10th straight term at the con-
vention, attended by 1000 dele
gates.

THE STUDENTS ATTITUDE

Children everywhere are think
ing of returning to the classroom.
Most Of them are as anxious to
get back to school as most of the
parents are to have them go. The
students have enjoyed the long,
warm summer vacation, but wheth-
er they understand their feelings
or not, they miss the routine of
the classroom. They miss their
school mates, and a great many Of
them say they are anxious to see
their teacher.

a great influence the teachers

say to him, Robert, run across the
street and tell Mrs. So and So that

japanese Style


Air Police patrols and Japanese
police recently were called out
to patrol a number OF bars near
the Misawa Air Base, $50 miles
north of here, 10 avert a possible
clash between white soldiers and
Negro seTvicemen, who have been
staging sit in demonstrations
against racial discrimination, jap
anese style.
The police units were called out
after Information circulated that
several hundred Negroes planned
to storm bar outside the base
area The bar admits only white
soldiers. The bar, as are about 4S
others, is located in the town Of
Misawa, next TO the base.
The us. Defense Department
recently issued orders 10 contnen-
tai base commanders to place
"off limit" to servicemen towns
near military installations that dis
criminate against service person
mel.
Since Aug. 8, Negro soldiers
have been staging sit-ins aimed at
ending segregation against them
in 3S of Misawa's A bars. The Ne
gro servicemen, taking their cue
from stateside protester, would
visit selected bars. If they were
refused service, they left and then
returned in larger number. The
group would then sit quietly in the
bar until the II pm. closing time.
The patrol units were called out
last week on payday, when spirits
normally are high. Authorities
feared violence, 1t was reported,
although the Negro servicemen's
protests have been peaceful. No
arrests were reported.
However, as a result of the sit
ms and the rlnnor of violence, us.
base commanders held several
with the owners of bars
catering to American soldiers and
explained that the us. policy was
equal service and equal rights"
to all military men.
Japanese bar owners, it was re-
ported, had adopted the allegation
Of us. segregationists, that to in
tegrate is bad for business. The
policy appeared to have been
"sold" to them by white service
men.
Anyway, since American troops
came to Japan after World War II,
some bar and restaurant owners
have screened their customers, ap-
parently believing it was good
business policy.
Even in the center of Tokyo,
certain bars and night clubs do not
allow any foreigner - of any color
to enter. They say this rule Is to
protect their Japanese customers.
In Misawa, Seijiro Kitamura,
chairman Of the Mtsawa Bar AS
sociation, was quoted by the Kyo-
do News Service as saying that
the 38 bars in that city had a
policy of serving only white serv-
icemen. He said the policy had
been followed by informal agree
ment among the bar operators
since white soldiers would not pat
ronize an establishment that was
frequented by Negroes.
The sit-in started Aug. 8 after
one bar refused to serve about so
Negro servicemen.
Minneapolis spokesman., 1963-09-05

Carr said. No jobs have been
created and no present employees
win be laid off or discharged to
cause vacancies, he said
The seven Negroes to receive
full-tfme jobs Immediately are to
be hired within go days.
The banks had offered previous
ly to hire 20 Negroes on a four
hour-a-week training basis. Negro
leaders had demanded about so
full-time jobs Immediately.

LOO HCIIe Is ever Sa1Q ABOUT the
teacher.
We can recall fine teachers who
inspired us with a love for study
and for wonders of the universe
we live in men and women who
profoundly influenced our living
and helped to encourage what tai
ents we had. - Esther Baldwin
York.
What are the rewards Of teaching ?
AS men and women rise In the
scale of living, they become less
willing to spend their time and
energies on activities that do not
benefit their fellows.
Even in fields where selfishness
once ruled, service Is rapidly gain
ing as an ideal. The business man
says, He profits most who serves
most" The teacher says, He
most lives who serves best"
There is joy in doing for
others. In teaching, this joy is
immediate and intimate. Every
teacher in his later years regards
with satisfaction the success of
men and women whose lives he
helped to build.
Teaching is the most fruitful of
patriotic services.
In a nation dedicated to demo-
cracy in home, school, industry,
and business, intelligent coopera-
ton is necessary.
The teacher holds the most sac
red trust within the gift Of society
and can do much to improve man.

THE UNKNOWN TEACHER

I sing the praise of the unknown
teacher. Famous educators plan
new systems Of pedagogy, but it
is the unknown teacher who de-
livers and guides the young. He
lives in obscurity and contends
with hardship. He keeps the watch
along the borders Of darkness and
makes the attack on the trenches
of ignorance and folly. Patient in
his daily duty he strives to con-
quer the evil powers which are
the enemies Of youth. He awakens
sleeping spirits. He quickens the
indolent, encourages the eager,
and steadies the unstable. He COM
municates his own JOY in learning,
shares with boys and girls the
best treasures of his mind. He
lights many candles which, in later
years, will shine back to cheer
him. This Is his reward. Know
ledge may be gained from books;
but the love of knowledge Is trans
only by personal contact.
No one has deserved better OF the
republic than the unknown teach
er-Henry Van Dyke.
