Soviet' Union likewise has delayed
consideration of proposed guaranty

Danube has not been restored be
cause of Soviet opposition.
9. Soviets refused to permit access

year in solving problem of control of

4. On 10 occasions, Soviets have
utilized veto in Security Council to
prevent U. N. action. These occur
red four times regarding Spain,
three times concerning admission of
new members, and once each regard
ing the Syrian and Lebanon case, the
proposal for a commission of investi
gation in Greece, and the British
charges against Albania in the mat
ter of mining the Corfu Channel.
E. Propaganda:
Since the war ended, Soviet propa
ganda, both for internal consumption
and as distributed through controlled
outlets around the world, has been
violently and abusively anti-Ameri
can. United States is pictured as
imperialistic, reactionary, fascist and
striving for world domination; Unit
ed States Government is alleged to
be in hands of small group aiming
at imposing its will on world by force
and as being entirely out of step
with desires and aspirations of Ame
rican people.
F. Cultural:
United States efforts for cultural
exchanges have not been recipro
cated. On the contrary, Soviet Gov
ernment has made strenuous efforts
to further isolate Soviet people from
any cultural contact with- outside
world except such as occurs under
auspices of Soviet Government agen
cies.

At tie East Carolina Band Con
test, staged at Tarboro by the state
convention of Independent, Benevo
lent and Protective Osier* of Elks of
the World and concluded Thursday, I
May 22, the Farmville Negro Band
was awarded fisst place.
As far as could be learned, every
Negro band In the eastern division
of the state was present and parti
cipated. There was music galore and
the thousands of people who throng
ed the streets and band stand show
ed the interest that had been taken
in the occasion.
However, the most impressive fea
ture of the eritire session was the
oratorical contest staged by the edu
cational department. There were 12
contestants representing every part
of the state, all highly trained in the
modern arts of persuasion and tech
nique of the stage. These were con
tending for the $1,000-scholarship
offered annually by the grand lodge.
Carlene Barfietd represented the
local lodge and made a fine showing
but lost to the Charlotte represents
tive.
During this program, statistics
were produced to show that during
the quarter century life of this de
partment, it had spent more than
$600,000 for the education of worthy
Negro boys and girls. At this time
the National Grand Order has 30
youths in colleges scattered over the
.country. These facts may serve as
an eye opeenr to those who think the
Elk Lodge is only for fun and frolic.
