“When we understand what we
would lose if the public schools
were closed a way will be found to
keep them open.”
Poor Children Will Suffer
One consequence of school clos¬
ings, the educators warned, would
he a loss of education for a ma¬
jority of children because of an
inability to pay for private school¬
ing.
The statement cautioned that
shutting schools would flood the
labor market with unskilled work-
“How will the community face
this situation?” it asked. “Will
they be added to relief rolls? Will
they draw unemployment compen¬
sation ?”
No community can absorb large
numbers of teen-agers in gainful
occupations, the educators argued
“Neither can it provide youth
services and recreational facili¬
ties which can take care of the
daytime hours of so large a num¬
ber,” they warned.
Economic Status Big Factor
The educators said studies had
shown a close relationship between
the economic status of a state or
community and the education of
its residents.
The statement was issued in be¬
half of the signers by J. B. White,
Dean of the University of Florida’s
College of Education.

Concerning the effect of the
racial composition of the area
which a community organization
serves, the message states that “if
the community is composed of peo¬
ple of one race, more than likely
the church ir that community will
he composed of the people of the
same race.”
“How do we love in deed? How
do we make love real?” the mes¬
sage asks. “Many churches and
ndividual Christians work for the
tight of every person to acquire
adequate housing on the basis of
nersonal preference and financial
ability with regard to race, na¬
tional origin or religion. They
| root their convictions in the Chris-
j tian gospel which teaches that God
has given all men intrinsic worth,
! “We express our life in deeds,
as Christians, when we sell or rent
! property to persons on the basis
I of their personal preference and
| financial ability without regard to
j race. Churches as well as individ-
! uals can make their love real when
they welcome people as good neigh-
I hors regardless of race, and when
they use their influence to see that
: the community guarantees to peo-
pie the right to acquire property
without regard to race.”
The message quotes the 1950 U.
S. Census to the effect that “70 > er
cent of all non-white families lived
in dwellings which were dilapidat¬
ed or had inadequate plumbing.
Available evidence seems to indi¬
cate that '’.u^itantially the same
situation prevails today.”
A list of resource materials for
study purposes, together with a list
of materials on what is being done
with the problem of racial discrim¬
ination and segregation in housing,

Hampton’s Founders’
Dav Address
HAMPTON, Va., — C : ting the
need for international recognition
of America’s accomplishments in
bringing democracy to reality, the
United States representative for
India and Pakistan to the United
Nations today called for an ex¬
panded United Nations program
around the world.
Dr. Frank P. Graham, a former
U. S. Senator from N. C. who
has held his United Nations post
since 1951, in a Founder’s Day
address at Hampton Institute,
laud-ed the “continuing and genu¬
ine advances in equal freedom for
all people in the United States.”
This freedom is a “chief source of
hope of the freedom of the people
of the world,” he said.
Pointing out the advance made
in the last five years in the num¬
ber of registered Negro voters, he
said, “while South Africa holds
back, the South in America moves
forward.”

Dr. Graham, a member of the
Virginia college’s board of trustees
for the past 25 years, explained
that although only one tenth of
the Negioes in the world are in
the United States, more Negroes
are in colleges and universities in
the United States than in all the
rest of the world.
“Hampton Institute,” he said,
“is the heroic pioneer in this de¬
velopment under its founder, Gen¬
eral Armstrong. Hampton must
also be a Southern leader in mak¬
ing integration in the colleges a
two-way street.”
In a world neighborhood in
which over half the people live in
Asia and two hundred million more
live in Africa, and in which two-
thirds of the world’s peoples are
colored, Dr. Graham emphasized
the fact that “our national faith
and policies become vital parts of
the world situation.”
Outlining a six point program
for the IT. N-, Dr. Graham ad¬
vocated large and long-range eco¬
nomic development programs In
addition to more adequate support
of the specialized agencies of the
United Nations and a stand-by
United Nations armed force.
The former Defense Manpower
Administrator in the U. S. Dept, of

“promotion of progressive steps in
effective disaimament” and em-

The spirit of nationalism which
exists in Africa is manifested her*
by the restoration and preserva¬
tion of African culture and th#
replacement of foreigners in key
positions as fast as Liberians be¬
come qualified to run the jobs.
At a luncheon given in honor
of Graham in the Executive Man-
ion, President Tubman said the
crusade had welded churchmen and
missionaries together in an un¬
precedented unity.
The Order of African Redemp¬
tion, Liberia’s second highest
honor, was conferred on Graham
by President Tubman. The former
farm boy was made a Grand Com¬
mander of the Order.
Liberia's promise of freedom, was
the key consideration in the loca¬

to many lands in many languages.
