pulsion of South Africa and
Portugal from the United Ma
tons.
1t is pointed out here that
il every country that in one
way or another violates the
UN Charter were to be ex-
pelled, the organization would
oe left with very few men,
pers.
Furthermore, membership in
the organization is automatic
in the sense that every SOW
ereign state is eligible, ire
spective of any other con-
sideration.
There also is feeling that
a country outside the organiza-
ton cannot be called TO &C
count for it's behavior. This
argument has often been adj
vanced in support Of the ad-
mission of Communist China.
The United States also is
believed to consider that to
boycott the sessions when the
Republic of South Africa and
Portugal speak, as the Africans
did in Geneva at meetings of
the international Labor Or
ganization, is self-defeating.
The UN Charter, it is pointed
out, calls for free debate. AS
a diplomat put it, "If all coun-
tries who resent speaker
were to leave, this place would
be turned into a SHAMELESS. y
Many delegates here are
anxious that no such prece-
dent be established. q,
AS to sanctions, the United
States is under heavy pressure
to stop furnishing arms en-
tirely to the two countries.
The United States will be
able to speak with authority
during the debates, since the
administrations stand on the
racial issue at home is suffi-
cient evidence that its con-
demnation of racial .segrega-
ton is sincere.
The Kennedy administration
takes the position that i'm
provements in the situation Of
the American Negro resulting
from persuasion are more last
ing and almost impossible to
reverse.
1t would like the same pat
tern to apply in Africa, but
diplomats here also note with
regret that South Africa and
Portugal are doing nothing, or
far from enough, to improve
the situation so that the forces
Of persuasion may prevail.

The project will be launched
in cooperation with other Min
istries and will include youth

envisages the establishment of
a model demonstration centre at
Ba'uru and the founding of a
cooperative village. Subsequent
ly, villagers will be instructed
in the use of draught animals,

The emphasis on cotton crops
is in compliance with a special

BY Mary Lechlider

Being a All members has
helped me to become better
citizen in many ways. In my
job I meet and talk to many
people each day. Attending All
meetings, conferences, and
many other activities gives me
an ideal background for my
job.
started my career in club
work as a member of the Lay
louisville Girls Club. Girls work
deals with improvement of self
and home. 1 feel that after my
experiences with my jello that
didn't jel, my cake that ran
over the bowl, and my seams
that weren't straight, I have
learned to improve these and
to become a better homemaker.
1 Joined the livestock club
at the age of 10 and began
learning to feed and care for
my stock.
Sportsmanship has been a
most important factor in all
my clubs. ITO win or to lose,
that is the question" When l

striving for the top. Each time
the judges decision is made

to further improve my prof.
ects.
The value of money is one
very important thing that I
have learned. I have saved my
All money from my projects
and from this 1 have learned
to stand on my own two feet.
The advice of my trained

my own along with the exper-

have been great assets as far
as leading me into life with
my eyes wide open
Coming from a family with

that this has helped me to be-
