NAACP Hears
Inspiring Talk
BY Arthur Patrick

A capacity crowd of approxi-
mately 600 gave enthusiastic re-
ception to the Phoenix NAACP
program that featured DIR. John
A. Davis. The speakers platform
included State Representative
Cloves Campbell and j. D. Holmes;
Mr.. Gilbert Gray and State Sen.
Paul Singer, who read a letter
from Gov Paul Fannin. The Gov
ernor was absent, attending cere-
monies in Yuma. DIR. Lowell C..
Wormley was the programs gen.
eral committee chairman and
acted as master of ceremonies.
Mr.. Clarence Davis, of Wesley
Methodist Church and the Phoe-
nix Orpheus Choir, led the musical
renditions and sang an inspired
solo. Miss Shirley Thompson of
Phoenix Union High School read
the Emancipation Proclamation
and Mr.. Howard Kirk gave a
dramatic recital of Lincoln's Get
tySberg Address. Mr.. Aubrey AL
bridge, principal of Mary Bethune
School, introduced the speaker as
an outstanding scholar, educator,
civil and public servant, author
and lecturer.
DR.. John A. Davis, presently
chairman of the Political Science
Dept, New York City College,
spoke of ''The American Negro:
Achievements and Goals" He
traced the history of the Negroes
enSlavement and introduction to
the American hemispheres through
the civil war to their present status
as respected but underprivileged
citizens, contributing substantially
to world history, government and
science, as well as to American
economy and progress.
DR.. Davis was emphatic in point
ing out the still existing problems
that face the Negroes and the ma
tion in education, housing, politics
and especially in employment. He
was incisive in his analysis of
these problems as they exist here
in Phoenix, noting that no major
organized efforts have been ex-
erted as result of the recent Fed
eral Civil Rights Commission hear
ings' published report. The con-
clusion of DR.. Davis inspiring talk
was that the single most important
thing to be done was to "help our
youth in scholastic achievement
and to involve both white and Ne
gro citizens in these endeavors.
DR.. Morrison F. Warren, prin-
cipal of Booker T. Washington
School, gave a brief but splendid
summary of the need for 'Plan-
ming for the Future" and stressed
the vital point of doing something
about the problems emphasized by
DR.. Davis and recognized by all
who attended. A reception and re-
freshment period followed the pro-
gram at which the audience met
DR.. Davis and had an opportunity
to ask special questions. The Jack
and Jill club members were out
standing in asking well thought
o u t and intelligent questions.
Among such members were: Mar
shall Grisby, Roy Denton, Larry
McF arland and James l.. Lewis.

Bunche Answers Critics
Secretary Defends UN Actions

DR.. Bunche, speaking to full
house at the Temple Forum series
last Sunday evening, February 8,
at Temple Beth Israel, 18th Ave
nue. and East Osborn Road, told
an eager audience that he would
not mince words.
After Joking about his being
picketed for the first time at an
airport, he admitted that pickets
are general the world over and
are baSically well-intentioned but
ill-informed.
The special assistant to the UN
Secretary-General, u Thant, stat
ed that he had been involved with
the Congo situation during tn e
last three and a half years and
that his assignment was much
more demanding and complex
than his Palestine assignment. He
is positive that peace will pre-
vail in the Congo.
Biting heavily into his topic, "UN
Criticisms and. Prospects," Dr..
Bunche assured the audience that
UN was at present the worlds best
means of avoiding total devasta-
ti0n. He added that there was no
better means in the world of pre-
venting war and working for the
betterment of all.
He urged the audience to reject
hearsay, half-truth and the casual
observations of prejudiced people
and to judge UN purely on its rec
ord :. its true record.
Facing the critics of UN square
ly, DIR. Bunche answered the fre-
quent criticism of Communist
domination. He stated that there
is no record in the history of the
UN of a Communist block victory
in voting. He said that it is in
teresting to note that the Commun-
lists accused the UN of being i'm
perialist dominated.
At times DR.. Bunche injected
pure humor into his talk. He cit
ed the mid-western school teacher
who spent many days studying the
UN in action. Her conclusion was,
1T is a wonderful organization,
but it is full of so many foreign
erS.''
Answering the most heated cri-
ticiSm evolving around the UN's
action in the Congo, DR.. Bunche
gave the following documented
facts: ID UN was in the Congo
and Katanga on the express invi-
tation of the official Congo govern
ment. (2) The Congo government
is neither left nor right. but was
desperately seeking to bring or
der out of chaos. 90 In a Demo
cratic election, held in Katanga
providence, the overwhelming
vote was against secession. (4)
DR.. Bunche was with Mr.. Tshombe
in Brussels on the occasion of the
signing of the documents guaran-
teeing independence, and he stat
ed there was no hint of disSatis-
faction. DR.. Bunche informed the

The delay in congressional

Mr.. Barr'S chief duty for

Suade Congress to pass the bill

Renewal Loans

The National Association of
Real Estate Boards believes
Federal aid to downtown urban
renewal projects should consist
of loans rather than cash
grants.
Daniel F. Sheehan, ST., St.
Louis, NAREB president, said
today:
"Redevelopment projects for
commercial use in downtown
areas produce increases in local
tax revenues that will enable
cities to repay this seed
money"
The comment came in a
statement Mr.. Sheehan said
was made to correct erroneous
stories that a policy statement
adopted at the recent NAREB
convention in New York put the
association on record against al
downtown urban renewal.
Realtors we're among the
first to advocate downtown
rehabilitation efforts and contin
ue to recognize the necessity o
c o m m ercia a | and industria
renewal" he said, adding:
However, we believe the
social objective of eliminating
unfit housing conditions ShoulC
have priority in Federal assis.
tance. This would be assured by
restricting outright grants tt
projects where the land is re
newed for residential use"

program away from the genuine
