pin in ceremonies at White Bock
Sunday, his. brothers, also mem
bers of scout units, and the rest
of his family, IncludinK young:
sister Katherine, were there to
coofratulate him, as this picturo

Low-income workers “wItK
little or no education” make up
a hard core of resistance in the
South to racial Integrafton, a
Princeton 'tJniversity sociologist
stated on Monday night, in
Princeton, N. J.
The sociologist Dr. Melvin
Tumin of Princeton’s Sociology
Department was reporting on a
two year study in Guil&rd
County.
He said that this element re
presents about 20 per cent of the
South’s population.
Dr. Melvin Tumin published-
the findings of a two year field
study of “white adult males” in
Guilford County, in “Desegre
gation; Resistance and Readi
ness”, published by the Prince

This field study was made in

The September - figures show
300 less employed than a year

The need fqi? the United Na
tions is even greater today than
it /was when th« organization
was formed, a UN official said
recently at North Carolina Col
lege.
Mrs. Carmel Carrington Marr,
advisor to Henry Cabot Lodge,
Jr., U. S. Ambassador to the UN,j
told a United Nations Day audi
ence at North Carolina CoUege
that the United Nations provided
an offort which would eventual
ly bring at>out | international
peace. '
“. . through this one organiza

understand the tongues of all

standing of their hearts as well.
“And through such an'effort,

when -We ... of the world will

The United States UN official
also praised this country for
maintaii|ing its leadership in the
international liody, despite the
“shock over developments in
Little Rock.”
She inferred that action by the
government to maintain tlK law
in the Little Rock situation sav
ed this country much of the r*-

in international circles.
“Incidents in Little Rock
reported in language throughout
the world,” she said. “Members
of the United Nations who were
friendly . . . asked quietly for an
explanation of the attitude of a
country in which such thincv
could happen . . . Some of the
unfriendly countries took the oP"
portunity to raise his in a UlC

World Peace R«le For Duke
A role which Duke University j
opes to play in festering world
hopes
peace was outlined before a
Hillside high school audience
Wednesday night by the man
who heads the new project at
the famous University.
Dr. Arthur Latson, chairman
of a newly formed Duke grad
uate rule of law center, discuss
ed the aspirations of the new
experii^^nt in the grand concept
of international law wiiich the
center will seek to develop.
He was the featured speaker
on a Trade Week pr'o^am spon
sored by thie Durham Business
and Professional Chain.
Larson, a onetime assistaht of
President Eisenhower, described
the rule of law center as offer
ing “one of the most promising
lines of action” in a world con
stantly faced with' the threat of
global war.
He cited the importance of
law in human and; international
affairs, described ,the contribu
tion the Duke law center could
make toward establishing a uni
versal law, and stated his belief
in the eventual 'acceptance ofl
international law. i
Unlike ■ other departments of
human life, law has never been
pressed into service in the strug
gle for peace, he said. “But it
has immense advantages which
others . . . lack.”
“Law is the necessary alterna
tive to violence in international
affairs,” he declared.
Larson cited reasons for the
effectiveness of law as a vehicle
for peace, listed handicaps which
prevents its use and pointed out
that the job of the Duke law
center would be to remove those
handicaps and establish the ef
fectiveness of law as an agent
for peace.
He also asserted his belief in
the eventual acceptance by the
nations of the world of an effec
tive international code of law. '
“The great advantage for law
as a vehicle for international
harmony is that people under
stand It... . They know the law
provides order and averts vio
lence in their everyday and n-
ternal affairs.”
The job of the Duke project,
the speaker asserted, will be to
demonstrate the existtence oi
