kvssia's Priemier Exhibits A Lack of Statesmanship

which appear to be Khrushchev's
mUa stock in trade. When the Russian pre
mier shows disrespect for the heads of other
fering otherwise while they are speaking, he
txhibits conduct that is more becoming to the
liead of a bunch of gangsters than a great
Mtion.
In comparison the cool, calm and deliberate
manner of British Prime Minister MacMillan,
Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold, Gene
ral Assembly President Frederick H. Boland
and representatives of other nations shows
the Russian Premier to be more of a rabble
roaser than a statesman. With the exception
of Fkicl Castro of Cuba even the representa
tives of smaller nations, recently admitted to
the United Nations, have exhibited more dig
nity than Khrushchev. In short we believe
the Russian Premier has not only lost stature
in this country but among other nations as
well. , * „
There is a certain amount of dignity and
self-control to be fxpectcd of the head of a
great power or state. When such a person
shows a lack of it, it is ccrtain to generate
an amount of cpntempt if fiot disrespect for
lym and thdse he represents. Sd far as creat-
ingf a more 4)ndly feeling of Americans for
Russia is concerned, that country would have
been better off had Khruahchev riemained at
home. If there has been any doubt in th^ minds
of most citizens of the U. S. that the Russian
Premier has ulterior motives for his actions
in trying to woo the African states recently
admitted to the United Nations to his banner
that doubt has been erased by his cheap show
manship at the United Nations meeting.
A Cause Worthy of Support
Efforts of the Interdenominational Ushers
Aatociation of North Carolina to establish an
institution in this state for unwed mothers
that will be available to Negro girls is worthy
of the support of-all right thinking citizens.
That such a project has not been undertaken
many years ago, in view of the fact that
there are several such institutions for white
people only, is not indicative o( the fine spirit
that usually prevails among the people of
North Cai'olina coiM:emin^ such worthy mat
ters. We are satisfied thtft tne-meipbers of-
the State Ushers Aasociation will be well sup
ported once the objective is fully made, known
to the citizens of the state.
As we understand it, the members of the
Ushers Association are now in .the midst of
a campaign to raise $60,000 to renovate the
buildings and retire the indebtedness of their
property at Franklinton where the home for
unwed mothers will be established. It is our
hope that persons in all walks of life will
rally to the cause an9 help raise the necessaFy
funds for such a worthy undertaking. If this
Don't Beg,
and Vote
Saturday, October 15, the registration txioks
in every county of the state will open and
and remain open from sunrise to sunset then
and on the following two Saturday's in this
month. In spite ^ the great amount of pub
licity givet) thej attempt now being made to
register a lilillion new Negro citizens this
newspaper again feels it a solemn duty to call
upon leaders of the race all over North Caro
lina and the remainder of the South to bestir
themselves and do everytjiiag in their power
to make the effort a success.
We tall upcm our ministers to devote a
. few minutes to the effort during the services
in their resj^ctive churches. We do this be
cause we feet that there is just as much
Christianity in urging people to support bet
ter men in public office and better govern
ment as there is in urging them to support
better churches. An earnest appeal to our
people to register and vote from every pulpit
each Sunday during the registration period
would do much toward helping to realize the
desired goal of a million new Negro voters.
In addition to our ministers and churches
there is much that our sttulents in high schools
and colleges can do to help the cause. Many
. ••choot clubs, societies, circles, sororities and
fraternities could be of untcrfd help in arous
ing iuterest by getting students to make a

Man is a finite, limited creatura
Man is a creature and not a

means limited powers and poten

has a yearning-to take the place

must operate within the confines
of his human limitations. And
in his limitations man can go but
so far,
Yes, by nature, man is bound
by the restraints of his human

If the students will do half as good a job as
they did during the sit-in, sit^own and pick

V(^ers is sure to be realized.
Likewise we appeal to adult groups in our
cities and rural communities to. urge their
members to register and vote. With a million'
new Negro voters the way will then be open
ed to secure more and better jobs, schools,
housing, streets, police protertion and advan

tfines demand that we stop begging for these
things and secure them by exercising our
fights at; the ballot box. /
On Novetriber the eighth, the citizens of this
country %vill be called upon to select a pre.si-

state and counfy governments. No citizen
should feel that he has done his duty toward
his family, ) futUre generations, friends, as
well as himself, who has failed to register in
order th^t he may vote in the general election
next month. We again urge evtfry Negro man
and woman who can qualify to, register and
vote, not only in the election next month
but in every election.

T!iie twenty-first ccntury will
be Africa’s as the nineteenth
was Britain’s and the twentieth
ccntury has been — in spite of
the progress of Russia and
China . . . America’s.
But' there is a long, long
road to travel before then.
Before the bright light of
civilization can shine on the
land ol my ancestors, for so
Darlc Cc^ntinent”, the African
states must get together and
unite on a pilogram.
NEED COMMON FRONT
They must present a common
front to the world and have a
common policy.
If they do not do so chaos
will, reign in Africa for a long
time and, as has always been
the case with new nations, bro
ther will fight against brother.
The American Negro has been
denied many of the fi^its of
civilization — equal education,
equal opportunity. We know
what a hard battle has been
ours.
AFRICAN^ DENIED
But the African Negro, ruled
for two centuries by white men,
has been given none of tl)e
benefits of civilization. He has
known only the evils. He has
had no schools. What few hospi'
tals have existed have been un
derstaffed and poorly equipped.
The African who stayed in the
forests, in his native habitat,
has lived a natural life and has
been healthy, subject only to
the epidemics to which ail
people suffer. But the African
cajoled into the white men’i
cities, forced to live in slums,
has died in droves.
Africa — The Africans —
neM liiterall everything we can
give them. Above all, they need
money and guidance. The
money 4 it neeeded to develop
their \i»|it resources and place
them i|i,a position of economic
incti^ndence. At present the
mines aiid plantations of Africa
produce great fortunes, but the
money doesn’t stay in Africa. It
goes into the pocket of foreign
investors.
MUST UNITE
Now, the most difficult task
if the African will be to woo
the foreign investors and yet

OBI POUND ORAL DRUO OF
CHOICE IN DIABETES,
PHYSICIAN REPORTS
Dr. Paul L. Barclay, chief of
the diabetic clinic, Harmat Hos-
today's issue of the JOURNAL OF
pital, Erie, Pa., recommended in
TH£ AMERICAN MEDICAI. AS-
SOCIA’nON, that phenformin,
known as DBI, be considered the
“oral drug of choice in the man
agement of diabetes.”
Dr. Barclay bases this conclu-
aion on “fair to excellent’’ results
he obtained in 91 out of 104 "pro-
bledi” diabetic patients,- or 88
per cent of the group observed.
In describing his tests. Dr. Bar
clay wrote the following;
“Seven months experience with
phenformiq therapy with 1(M pat
ients of widely varying ages, de
grees of severity of the disease,
varying economic backgrounds
and varying degrees of emotional
adjustment to diabetes is repre
sented in this study. The breadth
of utility of phenformin in the
management of diabetes i im
pressive. Patients front the age
of three years to 83 years have
been well regulated with the
drug. Patients whose insulin re
quirements have ranged to 700
units a day . . . (and) those who
have never received Insulin have
ahown from good to excellent re
sponses to this drug.”
Dr. Baglay explained that the
original purpose of his investi
gation was to determine the prac
tical use of DBI in problem cases
of diabetes facing the physician.
“particularly those lor wtem
oral therapy would not pN^^Us-
ly have been considered.” Or Bar
clay emphasized that a large per
centage at the patienta stuped
were not considered good eatldl-
dates for the earlier, sulfa-tjpe’’^*
oral drugs.
Dr. Barclay summarized his
findings as folows;
“In the dosage range of 37.5 to
190 milligrams per day, In divid
ed doses with meals, phehforminii
wwith or without adjunctive ...
insulin made it possible to
cf the diabetes in 01 of these
achieve fair to excellent control
104 patients (88 per cent). Of 91
patients previously treated with
insulin, 73 patients (80 ner cent)
of the entire series experienced
a significant reduction in insulin
while taking phenformin . . .
Weight and growth increments
in the case of children remained
normal, maintenance of weight
and vigor in adult patienta was
maintained ...”
Dp> Barclay found no evidence,
in the complete series, of toxicity
or other harmful side effects, al
though in five cases (4 per cent)
gastrointestinal sysmptoms neces
sitated discontinuance of the
treatment. '
Dr .Barclay concludes his re
port as follows;
“Phenformin is a safe and ef
fective hypoglycemic drug suffi
ciently wide in its range of acti
vity to be considered the oral
drug of choice in the manage
ment of diabetes.”
A Poetic Picture of Esther
/
Mrs. Ella Earla Cotton, a re*
tired School Teacher, and Author
of "A Spark for my People,” re
tells one of the all time great
biblical stories of Esther and the
deliberations of her oppressed
people, the Jews.
Mrs. Cotton, gives a rather
poetic and picturesque descrip
tion of the intimate lives of the
rulers and their dofaiain. Her des
cription of the characters such
aa Esther and her Uncle, Morde-
cai, the «King, hia power-hungry
advikor Haman, and Haman's
wife, Zeresh, is aa current and
vivid as if these characters had
Hved within (WP.generatieii and
confronted with the problems
which now confront oppressed
people of today.
Throughout the book, there are
many thought provoking phrases
and comments about the customs
and folk ways of Esther’s world
which in many instances are com
parable to preaent day world'
problems and experiences.
It is a very enlightening; treat
ment of the Jewish religion and
a description of it many pit falls
and struggles for survival.
This story is one that few, if
any, writers of today would at
tempt and yet it is quite feasible

more feeling and understanding,
that this Author has done beau
tifully.

The death of the liberal Demo
cratic Senator, Thomas Hennings,
of Missouri, will change a few
sub-committee positions in the
U. S. Senate of Importance to the
South.
Hennings was chairman of the
Senate Constittuional Rights sub
committee, the sub-committee
which o^ginates civil rights legis
lation in the Senate. To succeed
him, unless something entirely
unforseen occurs, is Senator Sam
Ervin, of North Carolina.
Ervip is a former state Su
preme Court justice, and is a foe
of the liberal civil rights bloc in
the Senate.
' Following Ervin in moving up
is Senator Olin D. Johnston, 6f
South Carolina, who will move
up to the sub-committee’s second
spot. If Ervin should leave the
Senate, or ev^r move from that
committee. Senator Johnston
would be in line to assume the

In addition, to this change,
there is another possible change.
Hennings was chairman of the
Rules Committee, \lvhich has im-
. portant functions in the U. S.
Senate, and—among otht-r things
—recommends changes In the
rules of the Senate. It also
acts on proposed Constitutional
amendments, to be considered by
the Senate.
The ranking member of this
committee is Senator Carl Hay
den, of Arizona, who is not a
super-liberal,, and who would not
be too objectionable to the South,
but Hayden is also chairman of
the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee.
Senators are limited to the
chairmanship of one major com
mittee, and Hayden cannt become
chairman of the Rules Commit
tee, as well as the Appropriation*
Committee, of which he is now
chairman. This apparently p(iU

Majority Leader of the Senate, if
Senator Kenned^ is elected Presi
dent and Senator Lyndon JohQSon,
Vice President.
Should that occur—and there
are several “ifs” along the line-**
Senator Everett Jordan, of r^orth
Carolina, would be chairman ol
the I Rules Committee. If all Of
this occurs, it would give
enters two more important com
