Woman" Teacher AMed BefooH's Business (Sn'ovjfih DETROIT One woman's determination to elevate and glamorize Negro white collar workers, has endowed the Motor City with an impressive reservoir of olfice personnel during 16 ytars A realist, more than a dreamer, Mrs. Louise k. Grooms, during her years as a public school teacher in Mount Vernon, Illinois, saw the need to acquaint and influence Negro youths to seek lucrative careers in the world of business. As an office manager of Detroit's Great Lakes Mutual Life Insurance Company, she noted how ill equipped were many of the office workers who came under her supervision. A Challenge Their ineptness was a challenge, and Mrs.

Grooms accepted It, by founding, in 1941, the De troit Institute of Commerce. Then, as new, the Institute lz dedicated to make the finest in struction, and the most modern facilities available to Its student body. From a modest start, In two rooms at Detroit's downtown To bin Building, the Detroit Institute of Commerce grew to its present proportions occupying the entire sixth and eighth floors Public Meetings Set By Callander In Harlem Parish Declaring that "due consideration will be given, to the danger of leaving the political destiny of our community to be fashioned in club houses and 'smoke filled rooms," Rev. Eugene Callender announced Monday the first in a series of community forums, to be Jield at the Harlem Commun ity Parish, 2044 Seventh Ave. The kick off meeting will be held on Tuesday evening, May 21, with N.

"The man In the streets of Harlem will be heard," Ker. Callender promised. One of the best equipped business schools In the country. DIC's stature is indicated by its membership in the predominantly white Michigan Business Schools Association. Mrs.

Grooms recently ended a term as presi dent of the Association. Not Apart Never having set itself apart as exclusively "Negro school," the Detroit Institute of Commerce mirrored the country's democra tic gains; ready, wUling and able to accept anyone who might apply for enrollment, regardless, of race, nationality, or religion. "We had to 'grow up," Mrs. Grooms declares, "to match Ihe strides and needs of the entire community. This has worked out well, because not nly do Negroes now own more, arger, and better organized businesses, but Job.

opportunities have increased considerably elsewhere. This has greatly enlarged the employment scope of our graduates." DIC's graduates, Mrs. Grooms reports, now employed by a number of major Detroit banks, in the offices of the public utilities, insurance companies, in all levels of government, Wayne State University, throughout Industry and In the labor unions. This, Mrs. Grooms describes as "deiimtely making progress." No 'Accident The progress wasn't accidental.

It reflected not only the ambitious goals and inspired programs, of the Detroit Institute of Commerce, but also the determination of its founder to constantly keep abreast of new office techniques, and the demand for instruction on modern, improved machines. Just a year ago, for instance, Mrs. Grooms decided that new typewriters Here needed. Rather than replace them on a staggered" schdule. 66 brand new Remington Standard and Electric typewriters were provided as replacements all at thesame time.

To SalMe WMeir OirganSsii Budley Afrzkeir A group of citizens, recognizing the musical and cultural service which Dudley M.

And in numberless tribal villages still under foreign yoke, the stirring story, kindling new hope of freedom for them, also, will be beaten out by jungle drums.

i Frankly I shall never understand why in this 'democracy" of ours complete rights for Negroes in politics and voting, education, housing, economic and social opportunity, have not long since been freely accorded. How could America have ever tolerated slavery? How can too the cruel wrongs perpetrated by many whites stiU tolerate Segregation? Often I want to beg forgiveness' of all Negroes for certain members of my race, wrongs so utterly at variance with the Christianity professed! But as Christ Himself asked God's forgiveness to men for His suffering on the Cross, and as wonderful young Martin Luther King has taught us afresh today in his creed of non vio lent resistance to wrong, we can only 4)ray even as we strive unceasingly to right the wrong to cleanse our hearts of resentment and hate, realizing that there was, nd still is, a great blindness to the pain inflicted. There Is another blindness to day. And whether we know it or not. if we don't soon shed the scales from our eyes, It may cost us our very lives.

Now whit is the chief diffi culty we face in converting men and women to this ecrely needed change in our earth's political structure? Well, after 15 years work in this vineyard. I'd say it Is the inability andor unwill ingness to sec tht.t the high sounding phrase "unlimited national sovereignty'' does not spell strength, but weakness.

And today, on our now so shruken, inter dependent jlanet, all nations confront the r.eed of placing a limitation on this national sovereignty in those areas on which wars bretk out. Most notably this is a "must" in the field of Armament. National Arms (above the level of domestic re quirements) must go, that men may survive. Thus, with increasing vigor, we must labor to build a World Fed eration to whic all nations will subscribe. Anything less is anar chy.

And it should not have taken two World Wars, Korea, and the most terrible Arms race in history, to know it! Startling to think cf us all. even in the United Nations, as suffering from anarchy? Then take out your dictionary, and ponder for a long moment the meaning of "absence of Then think of how, thanks to our wise Founding Fathers' system of a "divided sovereignity" we are blessed vtith law on all the levels of city, county, state and nation. Then note (perhaps with a gasp) how on that highest, most dangerous level of all the world level on which wars explode we have nothing of the sort. (For "international as of now, is a weak misnomer.) a a Extraordinary? Indeed, yes! But never yet, either in the old League of Nations, ncr in the United Nations, nor anywhere else, have representatives of the nations sat down together and bound themselves, in mutually protective delegation cf a portion of their sovereignty, to an over all government, legislative, executive and judicial. I love to remember my African friends, the Hon.

Today the main effort to reach our goal is by strengthening and revision cf the United Nations Charter. We look toward the Re view Conference, perhaps two years hence. Here, among the changes recommended by federalists, are universality of membership; federalism of structure; and law enforcement upon the guilty individual (instead of upon the member state, which is war!) We hold that the General As sembly should be given legislative authority cn world affa'rs; the Security Council should become a world executive; the World Court should be given compulsory Jurisdiction. Delegates should be elected by the people.

a a Meantime, within our own countries, we seek to persuade every manner of responsible group and individual to join us. And within the UN, though sometimes delegates of states only recently tasting the beady wine of "independence" flinch from 'he idea of transferring any portion of their new sovereignty a World Government, others (Continued Pare 27).
