Ticjio Educatian I'orry Go flound s yf "IN i sin II - 1 I VOLUME LVI AYC Heads Meet; Plan New Groups Throughout1 South Plans ; and problems of local chapters of the American Vet erans Committee were discussed at an informal gathering held in Graham Memorial yesterday un der the sponsorship of the Chapel Jjill ; chapter. Jim Crawford, Southeastern Regional Field Sec retary, outlined suggestions for expanding the scope of- activities and ; membership. ..-'AVC is growing nationally at an unprecedented rate," Craw ford told the group. "A goal of 175,000 niembers has been set for July 1. Membership is the most important drive for AVC today." ' Out of town visitors included James Bellamy, of the Bladen boro. chapter, and II. A. Cannon, William -N. . Smith, and George Smith, of Shaw University, where a new chapter is now being estab lished. ' An enthusiastic report on AVC activities in Bladenboro was de livered by Bellamy. That chapter has recently doubled its member ship, secured terminal leave pay ments for veterans, informed veterans of their rights, and be gun" a campaign to correct dis criminatory employment prac tices. All AVC needs to succeed, Belamy said, is "hard work and courage." 1 Crawford briefly mentioned the plans of other Southern AVC groups. In Tennessee the Nash ville chapter is working for a convention to revise the state's antiquated 1870-model constitu tion. The Atlanta Chapter plans to open a Freedom House, where progressive groups can hold meet ings regardless of race, creed, and color. In Florida a state council has been set up to assist in or ganization' and expansion of tha state's large city chapters. AVC's membership in the South totals 3,800 at present. " Crawford emphasized the fac that AVC is a nonpolitical vet erans organization. ; It endorse no political, parties and no candi dates. It seeks only to promote legislation which is in the -best interests of the nation and vet erans. of World War II. It takes a "stand on issues, but not on parties or personalitier. Declaring that "the South 73 unprepared to- meet "the challenge -of .-new industries moving in Crawford . suggested a plan V&ereby veterans' groups could deal with the problems of the 5 million people expected to be forced off Southern farms with mechanization, and at the same time atract more industries. He urged that surplus war materials and baracks be used for trade schools to train veterans in in dustrial arts under the GI bill. Such a plan would cost the states very little. No veterans' group in the South is doing anything about this, , he noted. " The meeting closed with pro posals for similar conferences in the Spring. Approximately ten members of the local chapter were present. A luncheon for the gathering was served in the basement of the ' Presbyterian church. CPU Will Consider Tnird Party Tonight Members of the Carolina Poli tical union and all other inter ested persons are cordially in vited to consider the question "The Future of the Third Party in America," at the Union's meeting this evening at 8 o'clock in the Grail room of Graham Memorial. .

Ghandi Seeks to Ayerf- Civil War In Last Fast as Violence Rules New Delhi, Jan. 17 (UP) Tonight, a little man who is a nroDhet and a god to the people of one of the earth's most dense ly populated regions lies in a coma on a huge ornate bed in a sprawling Indian palace. . Mohandas K. Ghandi, for more than a quarter of a century the spiritual and political leader ol ihP hundreds of milions of hu man beings in India was believed near death as he continued the 15th fast of his 79 year career. Rut there was .deceptive strength in the frail body that on 14 previous occasions had used this method i to protest the urmncrs of the world. Often, the cause had appeared ridiculous; many times the goal was to torce a powerful government oinciai to see things his way. But Ghandi's lifelong cause had been the winning of independence for India and when in the twi light of his life, his country won its freedom, few men disputed that Mohandas Ghandi had done more than any other single man to bring it about. But the victory had been a Phyrric one for the little man whom John Gunther once : de scribed as "an incredible combi nation of Jesus Christ, Tammany hall, and your father". With free dom had come violent riots jnd du and Mei .1 A viotot Civil war; all over maia Adult Executive committee.

The meeting also included the .election of Dean Matthews, of Decatur, Georgia, to serve as re presentative to the State Execu tive' committee. Meetine' at 5 o'clock in the Grail room, Graham Memorial the group elected Hale Chamber lain, of Brevard, to serve as chapter treasurer.

With an iron determination in credible in such a body, the 'rag doll' of a man was holding his fast to preserve his country from the further carnage of Civil war. This 15th fast may well be the final one for Ghandi, and the rage -that fills the hearts , of the Indian people is almost certain to . explode into greater terror, if the mahatma fails to live. Even Ghandi had to judge the temper of the people in a new light. As the streams of Hindu refugees flowed down from the north, there were heard screams of "Let Ghandi die." As the week ended, the little man rose to dictate what may Well be his last plea for peace in India. "Now that I am on my deathbed," he whispered, "I do not want to hurt anyone." Then, he called on all factional leaders to unite the country as one state and ' to afford reciprocal safety to all other groups. And last night, the doctors that hovered over him, the sor rowful, shabby men and women who shuffled past his bedroom window, and to a lesser de gree the world around him waited to see whether the flame in Ghandi's soul would unite India or, - by going out, plunge his country in the fires of an even more bitter conflict.

The governors are going to dis cuss the possibility of establish ing regional schools for Negroes in the south. These schools would offer education in the professions of law, medicine, etc. Overlooked in the publicity sur rounding the Negro aspect is the fact that the governors are dis cussing regional schools for whites. These schools would be in professions in which not enough students are interested to warrant individual state schools. The governor of Tennessee. Jim McCord, says that he believes the southern states can set up the regional Negro schools, and still maintain their segregation. He points out that the Supreme Court has upheld the right of a state to segregate whites and Ne groes providing equal facilities are provided. That is the committee's general picture. Specifically, the govern ors will consider a proposed bill to permit regional schools. And they will consider Governor Mc Cord's proposal to take over Me harry college in Nashville as a egional Negro medical school. The committee members are Governors Caldwell, of Florida; Thompson of Georgia; Tuck of Virginia; and Lane of Maryland. Governor Ben Laney of Arkansas will not be able to attend.
