The importance of this move is that although the Trusteeship Council concerns itself with the matters of rust trerritories, most of which are in Afirca. there has never been a delegate to the Trusteeship Council from a Ne grj country'. 'J'here have been delegates to seifve on the Council from non white countries such as China, the Philippines and Thialand, but so far, there has been no African. WOULD BE SIGNIFICANT The election of Liberia to the Council would hae particular significance, Liberia, in addition to being the first Negro country to have representation, would also be the first African country. This might be important in demonstrating to the people of all Africa that they are an integral part of the United Nations and have some; voice in solving their own problems.

LOUIS MCPB) Less than three mouth ar Negro voters went to the polls and voted overwhelmingly in favor of a $17,000,000 bond issue for the city's segregated school system a Citizen's Advisory Committee of community leaders has been organized to get immediate relief in St.

Louis overcrowded Negro schools. In an effort to spark the drives for Immediate reliel of bulging schools in the. community, the committee called a protest mass meeting last Sunday. Sept. 9.

at Center at which parents and teachers spoke on the conditions) in the schools. At the meeting It was pointed cut that many citizens, including leaders of the St. Louis NAACP. iaJ opposed recently passed mClion dollar bond issue for all af the city's public schools which will be paid for partially by Negro taxes because of inferior con ditions which have long existed In the city's Negro schools. Race supporters of the bond Issue said they had favored the proposal because it was designed to urine immediate relief to over crowded conditions in the schools without tending to perpetuate the city's segregated school pattern.

ENROLLMENT INCREASES Hubert L. Brown, chairman of the Citizen's Advisory Committee. stated that enrollment figures for the first "three day at the com munity's three Negro high schools. Sumner. Vashon.

and Washington Tech. indicate that the same diplorable over crowding problem is going to have to be contended with this fall if noth ing Is done to alleviate It. Brown and his committee made no public stand on the recent bond issue. I Figures show that on the first day at I Vashon. 2.103 pupils enrolled.

Sumner began the school year with L91S reporting. At Washington Technical School. 844 entered. In each case. It was an increase over last year's enroll tained by the recent action of the; SL Louis School Board In denying enrollment In city schools to pu pil Jiving in the county.

NO COUNTY SCHOOLS Far from solving the problem the action of the board placed county pupils in the position of havirg no school to attend since there are only two colored high chools in the county and both are so over crowded it would be impossible to enter more. Presently, the St. Louis board Is planning to reconsider its action to give county officials time to provide adequate facilities to meet this newest problem. In neither the county nor the rlty has any Improvement been made in the provision of adequate pace for public school children since school closed in Juhe. Officials, recognizing that relief could be gained by making empty clasrrooms in some white schools available to Negroes, refer to the state constitution which makes It illegal for white and colored public school pupils to attend the am school.

REJECT PROPOSAL A recommendation that the St. Louis School Board urge the State Legislature to pass a proposed bill allowing Missouri school systems to integrate their white and Ne gro pupils was rejected by the city's board of education Just be fore passage of the bond Issue. The St, Louis board recently announced a change in the plans for construction of new schools Ir. the area because of increased costs Plans had already been announced for construction of six new schools to start this falL Four of them were to be for white and two for Negroes. 1 510th Tank Battalion at Camp Irwin Scan Berdoo Ladies Tankers' iHIostesses At Qub Dedication CAMP IRWIN.
