Television has brought some

us many thrills and laughs and
1t has brought Joy and tragedy,

look forward to some of the rare

Looking over the schedule

Two Negro civil rights leaders appeared ON
nationally teleUiSed programs Sunday and
Uoiced their UieWS. They represent tVo groups
which haze sbeaYheaded demonstrations Which
haze brought attention and results.
Dr.. Martin L. King, Jy., head Of the South
eYn Christian Leadership Conference, gave
several opinions on the problems ia cling the
country because Of failure Of the ciUil rights
measure in Congress. He seemed disturbed
because the bin hadn't made more progress
and he mas surprised When advocates Of the
bin UeYe nOlO possibly making concessions
to Wotey the bin down.
Dr.. King again refused TO accept j. Edgar
HOOUeY'S statements that Communists abound
in the Negroes ciUil rights organizations. He
YetOYted that WaS amazing that such fen
Negroes had ever fallen under the influence Of
communism in spite Of the conditions in this
country.
The second spotlight Of the day occurred
dxYi,g the interview of James Farmer, ma
tional dire ctoY of the Congress Of Ra cial
Equality.
Mn. Farmers group initiated freedom
rides and it has been very active in U0teY
registrations drives.
He felt the churches had been too SlO1O in
making any moves to end segregation within
their ranks.
Mn. Farmer favored Transporting pupils out
Of their home area districts to alleviate racial
school segregation caused by boundary lines.
His vieWs on the Ills Of the Negro race laid
blame on Negroes Initiating aO1iteS. He could
locate no other point.
Both men agreed that an increased type Of
demonstration would take place if the ciUil
rights measure 1VaS not passed. Both pre-
dicted greater summer activities.
Dr.. King and Mn. Farmer may lead their
Yesbe ctiUe groups, but W1en they SPEAK they
can not speak for Is million Negroes. AS ne
reach for equal opportunities and rights, ne
can not lose our indiUiduahty and be come

To-Day Mn. Moore IS Waging another battle.
He denounces the teaching Of the theory Of
evolution in our schools. Mn. Moore believes
in The Bible. He said all others who adhere to
any theories such as evolution are atheists.
He and his followers represent segment
of the population 1Oho refuse to keep in step
with the modern World. They are quick to refer
to their religion in all arguments.
The great issue is not the tea ching of eU0M-
tiOn or any other scientific theory. The issue
is hidden and often hidden buYb0Sely, because
the American tradition is on trial.
The tradition Of freedom to teach and Free
dom to learn is being threatened when men

from many Democrats aO)ao split their UOtes.
HIS U5ctoYy can not be labeled as racial
be cause Negroes COMPRISE only small bOY-

BroOke's Uicto1y can be attributed to his
ability and personality. He has been a ded-
icated Republican Party yorker for many
years and said he could not support the
baaty's presidential nominee be cause he
felt their PHILOSOPHERS weYe too different.
In a nationwide telec0St last Sunday, Mr.:

can Party, but felt that party leaders should
begin to rebuild the party SO that minority
