FOLLOWING Is the transcript
OF an On The Record inter
ptetD NTH Senator George D.
Aiken. Republican OF Yer
mont, a leading member OF
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee:
@. Senator Aiken, are you
concerned over the future of
American Canadian relations,
or do you think this current
flare-up will blow over shortly?
A. I don't think this current
flare-up is going to have a per-
manently bad effect. Most of
the people of Canada and the
United States are level-headed.
While we may expect that we
will be prominently referred to
in the coming campaign in
Canada, that has happened be-
fore and we have gotten over 1t.
@. Do you think there have
been any legitimate grievances
on either side?
A. Our State Department was
conducting negotiations with
the Canadians which, at the
request of the Canadians, were
being kept secret. Then Prime
Minister Diefenbaker, under
goading by liberal Party
LEADER Mike Pearson, blew
his top and disclosed that they
were having the discussions,
which was contrary to the un-
derstanding with the United
States. And then some official
down here apparently blew his
top, too, and issued that re-
lease in the name Of the State
Department which inflamed
some of the Candian officials.
But I think that will die down.

the position Of the United
States that nuclear weapons
are essential to continental de-

the manner in which the situa-

in the public release by the
State Department, over the
name Of Dean Rusk, was a
mistake.

Old Bell Comes Down From Methodist Church

The old bell of the Community Methodist Church, which has rung out glad Easter greetings for over 60 years will not be ring ing this year.
 This bell that for many years summoned not only the Methodists to church but aroused people of all denominations reminding them it was time for church, has been dismantled and stored away until it can become part of the new church, stated Rev. Howard De- Wore As the old church building is for sale and the bell is not part of the building, and because the bolts were rusting and the timbers of the belfrey were rotting, he felt it would be best to take it down at this time.

City Council Informed There Were No OverflightS

At the Nome City Council meet ing Monday letter was read from the Assistant Secretary of Defense in answer to the wire sent to Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara on the overflights heard during a recent Council meeting in which the department again reiterates that there were no overflights."
 A letter from the Dept of Health, Education and Welfare stated that the monies allocated for the sewage treatment plant in con- nection with Nome's sewage and water project will be held in San Francisco for the time being.
 The Bureau of Land Manage ment advised the City of Nome that the applications for recrea- tional sites for Cape Nome and , Anvil Mountain have not been complete and so to date the city does not qualify for these projects. Dan Jones, who is due from the department on Thursday, will con- fer with the Council on the matter. Ordinance 418 was read for the first time and will be read again at the next meeting and relates to amending certain sections of the Nome Power and Light Code. The Election Board for the special bonding election for the new power plant next Tuesday was named. Lois McIver and Joyce Tucker, judges; Lillian Woodward and Betty Alexander, clerks; w. w. Laws, inspector.
 Reference was made to a ju- venile fight on Saturday night in which an out of town boy was in- jured. The matter is being investi- gated by juvenile authorities. The matter of the city taking over tidelands, which it has pre- ference of doing until July 1, and which has been tabled previously, was deferred again until there could be further investigation.

getting the proper praise. With
South Carolina peacefully integral
ing her schools, other southern
states slowly falling in line, I see
in the near future (the very near
future) great change in the Soc
ial relations of the Negro and
white in the us. Then you and
your paper and other men and
women of your quality will have a
far greater part to play. Yes, you
are one among many Of the unsung
heroes of today.
We all, each one of us, that
have pushed and pushed, hoping
for this day to come are on the
verge of seeing a nightmare turn
into a racehorse. Now the great
problem is what can be done to
awaken the Negro public, spiritual
ly, mentally, morally, physically
and politically. Believe you me
Mr.. Editor, this is a far greater
problem than we have dared to
face now.
Beginning with Minnesota, one
of the states above the Mason and
Dixon line, the opportunities are
far greater than our southern sis
ter states for qualified Negroes.
The social life is more advanced.
Business ventures are less limited,
job offers greater and education
and uncontested. Yet with all
these advantages we note that
there are fewer Negroes in the
north grasping the opportunities
that are now present. We have
fewer Negroes seeking higher edu-
cation, less Job seekers, fewer
church goers and most of all have
almost as many unqualified Negro
voters as there are in the south.
We have a poor crop of Negro
civic and business minded men in
the Twin Cities. MT. Newman
want TO personally thank you and
your staff for the many hours,
days, weeks, months and years OF
untiring efforts in this great ad-
venture. But let's face it Mr.
Editor, do we try to find a way
through your paper to get to the
hearts and minds of the Negroes
In this area. I believe that in all
the cities that have the Negro
press they can play a great part in
this awakening If they would simu-
ltaneously carry columns with
such captions as these.

Responsibility Goes With
Rights; Without II The
crN Rinus SoUndIess"

Ed1tor: TOO qu1ck-because or
the current segregation problem
are we to mistake every closed
door for discrimination.
How many times have we looked
at a place of business that has no
colored personnel and say, "Hmpf,
they're prejudiced." Has it ever
occurred to us that there are so
many jobs available to us, if only
we were qualified?
Look at the high school dropouts
and the high percentage of min
critics in that category. How can
you be qualified with only a high
school education and meager
grades? "a study conducted by
the 1861 Governors Advisory
Council to Youth stated that most
high school dropouts had meager
grades).
It's fine to fight for your rights,
but let's make sure every accusa-
tion is legitimate.
In the area Of religion let us
look. Many of us live closer to
white church of our respective
faiths; but We'll travel far out of
our way to the "colored church"
Does faith change with color?
AS regards housing: What can
you say to the white man who
thinks his property values will de-
crease, when you ride along some
of the ghetto" streets and see
houses with screens off, doors
swinging on one hinge, a porch
railing hanging Imply in the air.
Or windows with no panes but
paper carefully taped to keep out
a minimal number of flies.

Need No Negro Political

The idea of all-Negro political party has
been revived, in proposal timed for the Washington
civil rights rally. AS publication that has cam
paigned for quarter of century for more political
action by Negroes, feel that we have right and
a duty to comment upon this proposal.
The first and obvious comment is that this
would be not step forward but step backward,
1t is ridiculous, in the midst Of tremendous and
largely successful campaign against segregation and
the determinations that go with it, to propose a
weapon in such a campaign more segregation! Who
thought this up not thinking very well,
except possibly in terms of personal gain and build
up.
The second comment is that the proposal is self
defeating and reactionary. 1t is true that political
success for men Of color rests to considerable ex
tent upon colored constituencies 1t is also true that
making color the great issue in campaign would
defeat many of color and would tend to elevate
rascals of all lines above men who and under
stand the great issues We have rascals enough
both white and colored-in politics, without deber
ately fostering policy that would increase the
breed.
Just the idea of an al-Negro political party,
even reject it. will do immeasurable harm to
the campaign for Negro voting rights in the South,
1t will stiffen the resistance of those who block
ing the franchise, and it may very well soften Sd
lece some Of the southern voices supporting de-
mand. Moreover even with full voting rights, we
would be minority group in almost every part of
the United States. An all-Negro political party to
the extent that 1t successfully polarzed the Negro
vote would cancel out political influence and
power at the polls, defeat candidates capable of
understanding and dealing with problems, and
enormously strengthen the political power Of our
most dedicated enemies 1t would make it virtually
impossible for Negro to get elected except in the
most strictly segregated areas, and thus create a
strong incentive for preserving one OF the worst
evils we are now fighting.
! When we present Negro candidates for political
office, want them 10 be considered not for the
color of their skin but for their intelligence ability
integrity, understanding, and devotion to the public
welfare. We have come long way in establishing
this principle in public Ife and have right to
be proud OF the many Negroes in high public office
who measure up.
Let's not turn the clock back Let's not adopt
segregation a weapon against segregation Let's
not sell political career1sts short And let's
not short-change ourselves. The proposal may look
attractive ON the surface, to some people. But 1t
isn't. IT'S a BOBBY trap.

BY HAZEL La MARIE
In the Los Angeles SENTINEL

In the Los Angeles SENTINEL
The Union of South Africa Is
determined to hold on to its anti
quated way Of life. It refuses to
bulge an inch despite the fact
that the whole world Is beginning
to recognize the black man as a
part Of the human race. Even the
current revolution Of the American
Negro, long thought to be the
most placid and inept Of all black
men, has aroused no concern in
South Africa. It is though the rul-
ers Of this country are living in
the dark ages with no access to
the world outside.
Portugal, still holding Angola
and Mozambique in colonization,
argues that these countries are
territories and not possessions.
This attitude Is completely un-
satisfactory and unacceptable to
other African nations. President
Julius Nyerere of Tanganyila has
been quoted as saying: The inde-
pendent African countries would
like the present problems ON the
continent to be solved peacefully.
But If Portugal continues to al
lege that Angola and Mozambique
are Portuguese territories, and if
the South African minority con-
tinues to dominate the majority in
the Republic, then the independent
African countries will be forced to
fight. There is no choice between
shame and death"
1t must be noted that the in
dependent African countries are
again proving the old adage, Tn
unity there is strength" For the
past six weeks, 80 nations on that
flaming continent have pounded
unanimously in the Security Coun-
Gil of the United Nations for strong
action against nations that per-
sfst in holding on 10 any type of
racial discrimination or colonial
ton. The three countries involved
are the Union of South Africa,
Portugal and Southern Rhodesia.
This is not to say that everything
is perfect in all other African
areas, but it is generally conceded
that these three are the worst Of
tenders.
II injustice can be thought of in
terms of degrees then the Union
Of South Africa Is the number one
offender in the black Africans
struggle for human existence. This
is the place where a black man
cannot own land, cannot live in
certain sections has absolutely no
protection by law and is Jailed or
even murdered If he dares raise
his voice in protest. The mass
murder that took place during the
Sharpsville riots a few years ago
will go down in history among the
infamous crimes Of mans inhu-
manity to man. .,s.

known trick in public communications to limit the
participation and discredit the movement.
The answer was clear and loud-the American
people OF all classes, creeds, colors and national
origin, marched, and marched but o didn't they
march. Clergymen, trade unionists businessmen,
college students, women young organizers from
rural Southern counties in overall garb and thou
sands Of just plain everyday people marched. They
were not Negroes marching, they were not whites
marching but Americans interested in showing the
nation and the world. but more particularly the Con-

A friend, writing OF such things
a few weeks ago, said that if you
take two towns of equal size and
facilities, there is one factor that
viii make one grow and prosper
while the other wdthers away.
That factor Is people who care.
There may be only a dozen Of
them, but they will improve the
lives Of thousand neighbors just
by living there.
They care about everything that
touches the community. They care
If windows are clean and sidewalks
swept, If lawns are green and
streets are clean.
They worry about recreation for
youngsters, and whether or not
teachers can teach.
They want our laws enforced
impartially. They want public Of
ficials to be men and women of
whom we can be proud.
They attend public meetings and
carry petitions and write letters
and jangle the phone.
They deplore garbage INTENDED
and junk abandoned in unsightly
yards. They volunteer while others
scott.
They care about trees and
churches, about sidewalks and
streets, they care about the people
who use these things each day.
We fear that people who care
do not lead the carefree lives Of
their neighbors. Sometimes they
are objects Of ridicule for their
can-throwing, free wheeling fell
lows.
But without them a community
can soon reach the level Of the
biggest slob who dwells there.
They annoy US with ideas, goad
us to work, but we're thankful
there are still a few who care in
