Bandung, Indonesia (U.R)
In this freshly painted city on
the west end of Java, ringed by
soldiers to keep the hill bandits
out, a meeting unique in the
world's history begins next
week.
.It will bring together repre
sentatives of more than half the
peoples of the globe.
. Almost all of them are Orien
tals, Negroes or from the Arab
races with a common detestation
rf white colonialism.
It is called the Afro"- Asian
Conference. It begins Monday,
April 18. Delegates from 29 na
tions on those two continents
will attend. Included were:
Turks, Burmese, Egyptians,
F ilipinos, Arabs, Japanese, Ltr.i
r.nians. Delesates from the Ne
gro Republic of Liberia, from re
nint Afeanistan. from the form
er British ruled Sudan. Moslems,
4 Buddhists, i-nnsuans. i-u"'
4 nists. Neutralists, anti-Commu
mist.
America on Trial
j It could be a shapeless awk
i ward talkfest of little signifi
j cance and less results except for
! nnp thing.
I Red China is coming to the
i meeting, led by her cunning For
eign Minister. Chou En-lai.
' And Chou is going to try to
j put the United States and its for-
j eign policy on trial betore me
! African and Asian nations.
I He will seek to convince them
that America wants to oppress
i the dark skinned races. He will
rharee the United States with ag
He will seek to set a
tide of anti-Americanism run
ning. Blocking him and defending
th United States will be na-
! tir.na like the Philippines, bit
ting in the middle will be the so
called "neutralist" bloc led by
India' Jawaharlal Nehru will
be the best known of the world
i statesmen here.
On Hate in Common
! It was India and the host na-
! tinn. Indonesia, who were pri
marily responsible for the con
ference. The attending nations
! have one thing in common: A
! k.ti- nt rnlnnialism. The initial
idea was to discus colonialism,
plnnment of the
yvuw x
Afro-Asian area, how it could
contribute to world peace.
cmviD American dirjlomats are
- .
concerned about the racial as
pects of the conference, invy
think it pertinent that Australia
Npw Zealand, while geo
graphically a part of the area,
were not invited.
RaA rhina mav bring up here
her demands for Formosa. She
may also seek support ior nei
arimission to the United Nations.
- Both subjects are certain to pro
duce bitter fights from nations
friendly to the United btates.

perched on a volcanic plateau,
h had a rorrmlete facelifting.
Every downtown building has

Truck Speed Limit
Measure Tabled
Salem (U.R) The Senate
Highway Committee headed by
ccn Warren McMinimee (R-
Tillamook) late yesterday tabled
a House approved bill which
would have increased the legal
speed limit for trucks from 45
miles an hour to 55.
Rep. Joe Rogers (D-Independ-
enrpV one of those who intro
duced the measure, said he
hmieht the hisher speed would
help speed the flow of traffic
and reduce the hazard of long
lines of cars piling up behind
a slow moving truck, then try
ing to thread traffic to get in
front.
But Lee Bown, deputy super
intendent of state police, who
was questioned by the commit
tee, was against higher speed for
trucks and said where trucks
travel faster, there is an upward
curve in the accident rate.

newly-formed committee, also
congratulated President Eisen
hower and Congress on the deci
sion to defend Formosa, and
emphasized the committee's
stand for "maintenance of For
mosa as a dynamic force for the
eventual freedom of the Chinese
people."
The statement said the com
mittee was set up to carry on the
campaign last year in which i,
037,000 individual signatures

The states Virginia, South
ramiina North Carolina and
Florida presented the South's
side of the touchy segregation
problem as the Supreme Court
began its second day of hearings
on the mechanics of integration.

Churchill Flies
To Sicily Retreat
'London (U.R) Sir Winston
Churchill shed his last official
cares and flew to Sicily today
with the Queen's wish of god
speed for his first vacation in
15 years as a private citizen.
The British European Airways
set aside its no cigar smoking
rule for the occasion and laid in
a supply of brandy for the trip.
The former Prime Minister re
ceived a personal message from
iueen uizaoeui 11 just uciuit
he departed for Catania, Sicily.
He waved his hat to well wish
ers, smiled merrily and then
hnardpd thp soecial flieht. With
him went Lady Churchill, her
left arm supported in a sling due
to a recurrence of neuritis, and
a party of 10 others.
The 80-year-old statesman who
retired as Prime Minister a week
ago today took an ordinary 3EA
Viscount turbo-prop airliner on
his sun seeking jaunt to the
storied city of Syracuse on the
Mediterranean island.
Jr. of Virginia warned the jus
tices that the court's ruling
"raised over most of the Vir
ginia scene the specter of im
pending educational "chaos."
"We do not see a complete so
lution at any future time," he
said. "The people of many sec
tions of Virginia have stated
forthrightly that they will not
consent to compulsory integra
tion of the races in the public
schools."
Lawvers for South Carolina
said the court should permit "an
effective gradual adjustment
while maintaining a decent re
spect for the sovereignty of the
states affected." lne state ar
gued that the solution actually
lies in the. legislative and ad
ministrative fields, not with the
courts.
Possible Violence Predicted
North Carolina and Florida
predicted possible violence if the
court orders segregation aDoiisn
ed at once.
Such action "might well cause
a tornado which would devas-
tatp the entire school system.
cautioned Atty. Gen. Richard
W. Erwin of Florida.
Harry McMullan, North Caro
Una attornev general.- said an
attempt to compel the intermix
ture of the races m the public
schools of North Carolina would
result in such violent opposition
as to endanger the continued
existence of the schools."
But attorneys for Negro par
ents in South Carolina and Vir
Hav that the southern states are
exaggerating and trying to stall-
They contended the best way to
achieve tolerance is to associate
with members of the other race.
