4We Cannot Afford To Do Less’
By RALPHE BUNCHE
(Published in the interest of Brotherhood Week, February 19-26,
sponsored by the National Conference of Christians and Jews.)
There is wide-spread knowledge in the world of
the imperfections of American democracy, of the anti
democratic racial and religious attitudes which weaken
our unity and sap our strength. We known that there
are these imperfections. We talk about them; we face
them frankly. Indeed it (is a part of our strength that, in
the democratic framework of our society, we are en
titled to point to our shortcomings. Yet it is unfortunate
that they are there. Our enemies, of course, exaggerate;
we couldn’t expect them to do otherwise. But to our
friends, and our friends are many, these imperfections
are puzzling.
It seems to me that our answer must be, and it is
the only answer there is in a democratic society, to
exert every possible effort to eliminate un-democratic
practices and un-democratic attitudes, to do all that we
can to close the gap between our professions of democ
racy and our practice of it.
This is the only way that we can achieve our maxi
mum national strength and unity and fully discharge
our international responsibilites. In these critical times,
this we must do. We cannot afford to do less.
Pat almost any individual on the back, with soft,
gentle strokes, and, as a rule, he will purr like a kitten.

Army Clears General
For Speech Favoring
Racial Segregation
WASHINGTON, UP>—The Army
announced a finding today that
Maj. Gen. Eugene Caffey, its
judge advocate general, was “in
judicious” but violated no law or
regulation in publicly praising a
Georgia congressman’s speech
favoring racial segregation.
The finding was the outcome of
a formal investigation by the
Army inspector general, Maj.
Gen. David Ogden, into remarks
made by Caffey on Jan. 30 to the
Georgia legislature.
The Army said that its inquiry
showed that Caffey’s “exact
words were ambiguous and sus
ceptible to an inference that he
was endorsing views favorable to
racial segregation.”
Caffey, who a native of Deca
tur, Ga., alluded in his speech to
an earlier address to the Georgia
lawmakers by Rep. Flynt (D-Ga>.
Caffey then said:
“If I were going to make a
speech I would hope to make one
like that.”
In his address, Flynt had ap
pealed to Georgians to join the
interposition movement by which
some southerners hope to pre
serve school segregation in the
south.
Georgia Governor Calls
For All-Out War On
Both Political Parties
SHREVEPORT, UP) — Georgia
Gov. Marvin Griffin called last
night for an all-out war against
both major political parties,
charging they “are trying to see
which can sink the knife deepest
in the back” of the south.
The attempts of both Democrats
and Republicans to aid the forces
of integration will be successful,
he said, “unless the people of the
south unite and fight for our
way of life.”
“Let every white person in
these southern states unite and
then we’ll turpentine some of
those timid souls in Washington,”
he added.
“It’s about time we let some of
our congressmen know that they
are supposed to represent the
south in Washington instead of
representing Washington in their
own districts,” he continued as he
addressed the organizational
meeting of the Shreveport Citi
zen’s Council.
One of the audience shouted:
“Griffin for President.”

Fur Coats Won t Have
To Smell Like Onions
DALLAS, Tex., UP)—An out-of
court agreement has ended the
fears of a Dallas fur store that
onion odors from an adjoining
hamburger stand would be ab
sorbed by its furs.
The fur company had sought an
injunction to prevent the ham
burger stand from moving next
door on the grounds that furs ab
sorb onion odors and that furs
that smell like onion are hard to
sell.
Under the agreement, the firm
will buy the lease from the ham
burger stand owners for $1,500
and pay their landlord $50 per
month for six months. The fur
riers received assurances of the
landlord that he wouldn’t rent the
space in the future to any food
concern.

Reds Challenged
By U.S. Offer of
Peace-Uran i um
THOMASVILLE, Ga. ii?V—Pres
ident Eisenhower’s new program
for releasing a billion dollars
worth of uranium at home and
abroad for peaceful atomic proj
ects presented a challenge to Rus
sia yesterday to follow suit.
The President announced late
Wednesday the United States will
make available 88,000 pounds of
atomic material, uranium 235, to
pioneer Aemrican firms and to
friendly nations in a demonstra
tion of “our faith that the atom
can be a powerful instrument for
the promotion of world peace.’’
His announcement came just
one day after Soviet Premier Nik
olai Bulganin had stated, “We
Communists must fully place the
greatest discovery of the 20th cen
tury—atomic energy—at the ser
vice of the cause of building Com
munism.”
Bulganin pictured Russia as
“ahead of other countries” in the
peaceful uses of atomic energy,
but did not talk of sharing atomic •
materials.
Actually, Eisenhower barred
distribution of any of the 88,000
pounds of U.S. U-235 to the Soviet
Union and its satellites, as well as
to any other nations presently
producing the material.
Half the supply, 44,000 pounds,
will be leased in the United States
for civilian purposes, “principally
for power reactors,” Eisenhower
said in a statement at his vacation
headquarters here.
