Youth Conference Calls for Federal Aid To School South Africa Challenges UN's Right in Dispute United Nations. N.Y.-IUPD South Africa repeated Us challenge today to the United Nattnne1 rtffht in intervene in Hi racial turmoil and said any action by tne becurny coun cil would be regarded by its government "in a serious light." The United States neverthe less announced its support of a resolution asking the Se curity Council to call upon South Africa to end racial discrimination. 'nnuhla Standard' Charfltd South African delegate Ber nardua Gerhardus Fourie. who pulled out of the council de bate Wednesday after a sim ilar protest against discussion of racial Killings near ou hannpshnrff and Canetown. ac ' cused the United Nations to day of adopting a "double standard" toward such dis turbances. He renewed his argument that the U.N. Charter bans in tervention in domestic affairs of any country. He also attacked Soviet Ambassador Arkady A. Sobo lev for charging that South Africa had "embarked on a course of mass destruction of people of other races." "I have already stated how greatly the union government regrets the loss of life that has occurrcd-a loss of 78 per sons," Fourie said. "I must however, pose the question: If this constitutes the mass de struction of other races, how would the distinguished repre sentative of the Soviet Union regard the low of life running into hundreds of thousands, elsewhere? Aski About India "I hope he feels equally strong about such a loss of life." Noting that India waa one of the 20 Afro-Asian countries signing the complaint against South Africa, Fourie asked why "the very serious civil disturbances that took place in India in 1056, in which a large number of people were killed and wounded, never crime hpfnre the council." U. S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge told tne council the resolution introduced Thursday by Ecuador, with the backing of the 29-nation Afro-Asian group, "seeks to build a bridge and not a wall."

Attorney Sidney Lezak, rep resenting the Inter-U n i 0 n Newspaper Strike Committee, said he wanted to be heard because a change of circum stances constituted a "threat to the peace of the commu nity." He said he had been advised that the Oregonian was going ahead and hiring armed guards on Its own and that this was an attempt to circumvent licensing proce dure. Lezak said the strike com mittee wanted an investiga tion to see if this was going on. Mayor Terry Schrunk said he had talked to management of the newspapers and had been assured there was no in tention to have armed guards except In the pressroom. La zak said If this was the case he was satisfied. "I have assurance that there will be no great number of armed guards and I expect them (management) to adhere to their word," Schrunk said. "If that is true we have ac complished our purpose," Le zak said. Payroll Astray But Panic Averted Castle Rock.

April 2nd Phont SP 2-6780 4 uroup txpresses Southern Negro Student Support Washington-fl'PD-The White House Conference on Chil dren and Youth called today for an outpouring of federal money to improve America'! schools. It also: -Expressed support for Southern Negro students con ducting sitdown demonstra tions against racial segrega tion. -Urged President Eisen hower to "use all means at his disposal, including the prestige of his office," to speed nationwide compliance with Supreme Court desegre gation decrees. Family Planning Approved -Endorsed the principle of "family planning" and said both public and private agen cies should be prepared to as sist married couples who seek "medical advice and services for child spacing." -Proposed a general strengthening of public wel fare programs, with particu lar emphasis on relieving so cial conditions such as acute poverty and overcrowded housing which breed juvenile delinquency. . Living Example -Appealed to parents to give their children a living "example" of moral and spir itual values rather than mere ly "preach" at them about high ideals. -Affirmed "the importance of personal faith in God," as the source and bulwark of all values that Americans hope to transmit to their children. These were the highlights of some 800 "recommenda Hons" which emeried from the week long conference called by President Eisenhow er to assess the needs and problems of the nation's young people.
