long maui is by rail, $50 miles
from Elizabethville to Port
Tranquil. There it is loaded
on boats and moved down
the Kasai and Congo Rivers
to Leopoldville. At the river
port there 1t is again loaded
on rail cars for the journey
to Matadi. There, at last, 1t
it goes on ocean ships to the
markets of the world.
This laborious, tedious, de-
laying transfer Of cargo is
made necessary by rapids
and cataracts in the rivers.
There are, for example, 80
cataracts between Leopold
vile and Matadi.
Rail shipments are some
times slowed by tribal rival
ries that make examples OF
railroad featherbedding in our
own country seem trivial. In
the first months Of indepen-
dence each Of the many tribes
along the almost 1000 miles
from Elizabethville UP to Port
Tranquil demanded that only
engineers of their particular
tribe drive the train through
tribal territory.
Belgium Welcomed Back
Belgium is coming back in
to the Congo in q healthy
cooperative manner. It Is
being welcomed. Paul Henri
Spaak, Of Belgium, has re
vealed himself as one OF the
really impressive and able
statesmen Of the world. He
withstood most Of his own
countrymen in working with
the U. N. in the one-time
Belgian colony Of the Congo.
His patience, and the view Of
the u. N. leadership that Bel
gian advisers, technicians
and administrators are indis-
pensable In the years ahead.
are paying dividends. Bel
GUM is readying q long-term
aid program. II will. Of course
benefit Belgium by reStora-
ton Of trade, travel and
commercial relationships gen.
orally.
But Africa, the U. N. and
the world also will benefit.
The Congo is the largest and
potentially the richest Of the
new African nations. II Is
destined, by virtue OF It's vast
store Of minerals, metals.
gold and diamonds to be per-
haps the boom region Of the
generation ahead. This is the
hope. The Congo, 1t must be
repeated, is not saved. But
much has been accomplished.
The U. N. has proved Its
value. There is hope.

Old Rights RuIinq

In the weller Of sophistry
and sentiment being palmed
off as law in connection with
the so-called civil rights bill,
1t might be both enlightening
and helpful to recall q deci-
sion Of the Supreme Court in
1883 passing on the consti-
nationality Of the Sumner
Law, a measure similar to the
present civil rights bill which
sentimentalists Of that era
had been able to push through
Congress.
Justice Joseph p. Bradley,
who Is conceded to have had
one Of the keenest intellectS
Of any justice who ever
graced (or lolled on) the
supreme bench, delivered the
decision Of the majority
eight Of the court, constru-
ing the intent and applicable
ity Of the Thirteenth and
Fourteenth Amendments.
The decision sets forth very
simply yet with unacceptable
logic the sophistry of the
civil rights claims.
The Thirteenth Amend
ment, it pointed out, forbade
slavery, but this protection
against involuntary servitude
could not be stretched to
cover Federal regulations Of
social determinations. The
Fourteenth Amendment, 1t
carefully explained. was ad-
dressed only to deprivation
Of rights by States, and did
not encompass private acts
OF discrimination.
There was no source of
constitutional authority for
the Sumner Law, 1t commended,
and there was no legal alter
native but to regard 1t as an
unwarranted invasion of an
area under State Jurisdiction.
Even as q matter Of policy,
1t continued, the intention Of
the aforementioned amend
ments to aid the freed Negro
must have some limits. At
some point the Negro must
cease to be "the special
favorite Of the law" and take
on the rank Of a mere
citizen"
Legal decisions are at
times, as in the above case,
based on common sense.

ulties and student bodies in
clude some white professors
and students. And he de-
scribed these colleges as the
best available instruments for
bringing improved education
al opportunity to thousands
Of Negro young people. The
$50 million program allots $28
million for improving plant
facilities; $40 million for inn
mediately needed special ecu-
cation projects, and $12 mil
lion for better faculties and
indispensable" scholarship
aid.
A Huge Undertaking
The magnitude Of this spe-
cial development campaign Is
underscored by the fact that
gifts to the United Negro Col
lege Fund since its founding q
score Of years ago total only
SAIL million. This includes
about SIT million raised in
the only other capital funds
drive launched in 1851. The
Ford Foundation already has
pledged to give SIS million on
a matching basis. This is an
excellent start. Funds will be
sought from other founda-
tons, corporations and indi-
ViGuals. The drive comes In
the last quarter Of the Eman-
cipation Proclamation's Tooth
anniversary year.
1t is clear that II America
is to provide equal education
al opportunity for Negro
youths. it must provide this
opportunity in both North and
South. The majority Of Ne
groes still live in the II States
of the South. It is in these
States that the need for col
lege educational facilities is
most acute. Almost a decade
after the Supreme Court deci-
sion regarding Indignation Of
students, only three out Of
every hundred Negroes at
tending college are enrolled
at preGominantly white coll
leges and universities In the
South. This fact indicates the
seriousness Of the problem. It
is also q fact that through the
country 80 per cent Of all
college students attend col
lege in their own States. The
Southern Negro students can
not afford to go north to col
lege In any large numbers.
The answer, If they are to
have the education they re-
quire, lies in improvement
and extension Of these Negro
colleges in the States Of the
South.
Many Of the UNCF colleges
rank among the best inStitu-
tons in the region, and all Of
them meet the basic quality
standards set by the Southern
Association Of Colleges and
Schools. Recent graduates of
these Southern Negro colleges
are engaged In advanced stu
dy at more than 70 Of the
Nations finest universities.
The history and record Of
these Southern Negro colleges
shows clearly that much has
been and is being done to
qualify Negro youth to meet
the challenges of the present
day.

Montgomery Affairs

After nine months of OBJ
serving the elected officials
of the Montgomery County
Council, who are generally
called conservatives, I have
a question. Conservative is
not a dirty word in my lexi-
con, but what are they con-
serving?
/. Not land-every week in
coming actions they are
eroding a regional plan
which their appointees have
yet to adopt.
2. Not the Bill Of Rights
just a few weeks ago, in a
spiteful effort to protect"
Montgomery from the pos
sible spillover Of the March
on Washington, they pro-
posed an abridgment Of the
right of public assembly.
8. Not civil rights - they
toyed with repeating the
successful and popular pub
lie accommodations ordi-
nance.
4. Not the rights Of our
children to a first rate edu-
cation-yesterday my ninth
grade twins came home from
classes ia between them
which,. including o course
in science laboratory tech
niques and a language class,
had 40 or more students.
From where I stand I
usually sit In the second row
Of the Council Chamber
every Tuesday - they are
conserving the rights Of land
spectators, developers and
their numerous and magnif-
icently intertwined political
friends and appointees to
exploit this county.
This, I submit, is not con-
servatiSm. It Is radical ir-
responsibility.

my position In the House
Rules Committee as minority

Of time resulting from my

I would. however, like to
point out that my statement

interpreted. In my CONVERSE

mentioned the possibility of

the payment should be auth

years in advance, thus re-
moving the possibility Of any

All Of this would take place

PEOPLE AND PROBLEMS
Much Accomplished in Congo
BY RALPH McGHL

Wet Nam now fills the
headlines the Congo held for
three long, bloody and cha
otto years. Ngo Dinh Nhu, Ngo
Dinh Diem, and the strikingly
handsome Madam Dinh Nhu
have given reporters and
typesetters a respite from
Bolokango, Kasavubu, the
late Patrice L. Lumumba,
Tshombe, and Adoula.
Galvanic critics of the U. N.
had insisted that Tshombe was
a patriot. Time has proved
him to be Of dubious morality
and lacking in any patriotic
concept Of nationalism. He
was. rather. one whose total
dedication was to self-aggran-
disement. It further was ar
gued that the U. N. would
itself become q colonial power
In the Congo because II
TShombe were eliminated
there would be no one left to
organize and govern the rich
mining resources Of South
Katanga, from which came
most Of the governments in
come.
Not Saved" Yet
1t is much too early to say
the Congo has been saved.
But 1t is not premature to
believe there now is more
hope. Optimis m increases
with the news Of a very con-
siderable achievement, at
tanned with Belgian coopera-
ton. The national road" has
been opened. It had been
closed for three years because
Of Tshombe's detection from
the central government. His
guerrillas dynamite six
bridges along the route.
The story Of the restora-
ton Of the national route IL
illustrates one o! the many
grievous burdens that history,
events and colonial status
have imposed Upon the Congo
and its efforts to create q
sense Of nationalism out of
the more than 1870 long exist
ing tribal and regional
loyalties.
Restoration of bridges has
ended the long, costly eco
nomic separation of Katan-
ga from the Congo. This fact
Of being cut off because Of
the demolition Of river high
ways is an example OF the
lamentable scarcity Of roads
and transport. There are
l,72e miles Of rail and water
connection between Eliza
bethville and the port Of
Matadi. This city Is 223 miles
south OF Leopoldville. Before
the civil war launched by
Tshombe, the national route

THE POLITICAL MILL
Drive to Aid Negro Colleges
BY GOULD LINCOLN

Almost unnoticed In the
sounds Of battle over integra-
ton for the benefit Of better
educational opportunities for
Negroes, q drive to raise $50
million to aid 80 Negro col
leges In the South was
launched Thursday. President
Kennedy, in the White House
flower garden, strongly urged
generous contributions to the
fund. These colleges are al
lied with the United Negro
College Fund, organized 20
years ago, and member col
leges date much farther
back. On the record, these
colleges have been q main
source Of Negro leadership.
Among living UNCF college
graduates are two Congress-
men, q director Of the United
States Mission In the Sudan,
novelists, poets, judges and
lawyers and doctors. They
continue to be such a source.
What they have done to adj
vance Negro education is a
tribute to the Negroes, them
selves, and the whites who
have aided them.
These colleges are located
in the IL States Of the Old
South. Georgia leads In the
number Of these colleges, with
seven. Other States with these
colleges are North Carolina,
six; Tennessee, four: Ala
bama, Texas and Virginia,
three each; Louisiana, two,
and one each In Florida,
South Carolina, Arkansas
and Mississippi. The colleges
student bodies number more
than $4,000. The average an
nual cost to the student for
board, room, tuition and
books is less than $1,000 a
year-half the national aver
age. Their scholarship aid
and loans to needy stu
dents are high. More than
half the students obtain part
time work to help finance
their education.
A Turning Point
The fund drive Is under the
direction Of q 35-member ma
tional committee, headed by
Charles g. Mortimer, chair
man Of General Foods Corp.
Included In the committee
membership are heads of
many Of the country's largest
industrial firms and business
leaders, with o sprinkling of
professional men. Mr.. Morti-
mer likened the meeting. at
the White House to the Aug
ust % demonstration in Wash
ington "for Jobs and free
DOM" Numerically" he
said, I'VE cannot compare
with the August turnout. But
our meeting is no less a dem
onstration in support Of one
Of the essential steps that
has to be taken to bring
Americas 20 million Negro
citizens into the mainstream
of our national life"
He pointed out that these
colleges are all in the South,
where lack Of high quality ed
ucation for Negroes is most
acute; that they are fully &C.
credited institutions. The fac

Defend Lawrence

NCICtHU EQWICBISS
In his letter Milton Lo-
mask takes David Lawrence
to task for telling an his
torical truth about the boot
leg Fourteenth Amendment
which was actually foisted on
an unwilling South by Fed
eral occupation forces. One
of the things Mr.. Lomask
mentions is the fact that
some 500 court decisions ia
vorable to the interests of
American business rest on
the Due Process clause Of
the Fourteenth Amendment.
Even II the Fourteenth
Amendment had never been
added to the Constitution
legally. or by force Of Fed
eral armed might-American
business would still be pro-
tected by the Due Process
clause of the Fifth Amend
ment, which has the identical
wording of the same clause Of
the Fourteenth Amendment.
AS q matter of fact, the Su-
preme Courts 1854 ruling on
the segregated schools of the
District of Columbia was
based on the Due Process
clause Of the Fifth Amend
ment, because the District Of
Columbia is not a State, and
the Fourteenth Amendment
applies only to the States.
Furthermore, the same Re-
construction Congress which
passed such repressive legis-
lation for the beaten South,
actually passed the legisla-
ton setting up separate
schools for Negroes In the
District Of Columbia.
It is just such devious
methods Of forcing the will
o; the North on the South,
both by past Congresses and
the present Supreme Court,
that have caused all the
troubles this Nation has Suf-
fered In Is domestic relations
for the past nine and q half
years. However, 1t is crafty
ing to many people to note
that the North may very well
have the whole messy bust
ness boomerang or blow up
in its face, and the people
Of the South may have the
last laugh after all, although
actually there is not any
thing at all funny about it. 1t
could become deadly.

One Milton Lomask attacks
your best columnist, David
Lawrence, on his articles
about the 14th Amendment,
every one of which has been
accurate. He criticizes Mr..
Lawrence for failing to OBJ
ject to the 18th Amendment
abolishing slavery as being
ratified In the South under
duress and draws the con-
clusion that II Mr.. Lawrence
mentions the faults Of the
l4th Amendment he should,
therefore. advocate the abo-
lition Of the 18th Amendment
and the reinstatement Of
slavery. The 18th Amendment
was ratified voluntarily, with
out dureSs, by the legitimate
legislatures Of IL southern
States. long after the Civil
War. AS ~ States we're
needed to ratify, ratification
would have been impossible
without many Of these South
ern States.
On the other hand the 14th
Amendment was rejected by
the legitimate legislatures Of
10 Southern States. plus
Maryland. Delaware, Cali
fornia, Oregon, Ohio and
New Jersey for q total Of IS;
whereas 10 other Northern
States ratified. II Is q part
Of the history Of the United
States that q purported rati-
fication was obtained by q
combination Of using the
