Distrust Cited As Big Factor In
Nation's Racial Strife
Distrust by many persons
with the American form of de
mocracy was cited this week by
Dr. Lewis C. Dowdy as cause
of some of the severe problems
that are plaguing this nation.
In a luncheon talk to the
Greensboro, N. C. Kiwanis Club,
Dr. Dowdy, president of A&T
State University, said:
"The people are distrustful of
this democracy because it has
not yet achieved its fullness.
"We have proclaimed equality
of educational opportunity as a
national policy," added Dr
Dowdy, "but we have permitted
the grossest discrimination
against individuals because of
the accident of their birthplace.
We have proclaimed liberty,
justice and freedom for all, but
this has not been achieved."
Dr. Dowdy said there are still
many frontiers that need to be
conquered. "There is a frontier
in every community where
there is inaction and a shallow
sense of dedication to discover
and live within the fullness of
the great American dream," he
said. "There is a frontier in the
great valley of excuse seekers,
ready to find excuses for not
moving on."
"If we don't conquer thhese
frontiers," said Dr. Dowdy, "they
may continue to create disillu
sionment on the part of certain
elements of our population. This
could bring about a union of
the poor and the 'rich-poor' to
the extent that they will feel
that anything or any other form
of government will be better
than the one we have."
"If this hanpens," concluded
Dr. Dowdy, "their only desire
would be to destroy for the
sake of destruction, with the
hope that whatever comes after
will be better."

Senator Scott Proposis
Bronze M d^l To Honor
Dr. Martin Luther King
U. S. Senator Hugh Scott (It
Pa.) today introduced a bill to
strike one million commemora
tive bronze medals in honor of
the Reverend Martin Luther
King, Jr. and "a gold medal to
be presented to Dr. King's wi
dow."
Senator Scott told the Senate:
"Mr. President, I introduce
for appropriate reference a bill
to authorize the striking of
1.000,000 commemorative bronze
medals to be sold at cost t" the
Reverend Martin Luther Kin?,
Junior, Fund for education at
Morehouse College in Atlanta.
My bill also authorizes the
strikingVal a Bold medal to be
presented to Dr. King's widow
by the President of the United
States.
"On April 22, I proposed the
strikine of a million commemo
rative half dollar*: for resale by
the Reverend Martin Luther
King, Junior. Fund, but I sub
sequently learned of the Treas
ury Department's opposition to
the issuance of such a coin.
However, in a letter to me, Eva
Adams, Director of the M'rrt,
stated that the Department has
recommended that commemora
tive medals be struck In lieu of
a coin*. The bill which I offer
todav carries out the Treasury
Department's recommendation.
"I urge its prompt enact
ment."
