If • • mm ■ VOt* 7, N* U Dr. Bundle Prefers UN To Nation’s Capital WASHINGTON (ANP) — Dr. Ralph J. Bunche, director of the United Nations division of trus teeship, stated last week that he had not been offered any job by President-elect Eisenhower. He told members and guests of the Pigskin club that he liked his job at the United Nations too well to leave. Speaking at the Club’s 15th annual banquet held in the Terrace room at the National Air port, the UN executive made it clear that he was not anticipating comig to Wasington. This state ment was made in reply to a question regarding rumors that Gen. Eisenhower was considering Dr. Bunche for a position as rov ing ambassador and world trou ble-shooter for the United States. The UN trusteeship director simply replied that he has had no offers from anyone. Dr. Bunche referred to the United Nations as the only hope for peace in the world. Despite criticism of the UN, he said, he still believes that the majority of Americans want the United States to stay in the UN and want to see it succeed. The two major problems of UN, he said, are Korea and the Amer ican public’s attitude toward the U.N. Speaking of segregation in the District of Columbia, the for mer Howard professor stated that Wasliingtonjias come a long way in overcoming racial prejudice but it still has a long way to go. The Pigskin club presented five sports to athletes who have ex celled in their respective fields. The awards went to Sylvester R. Hall, coach at Virginia State col lege; Theodore W. McIntyre, coach at Armstrong high school of this city; Leo Miles, for out standing playing at Virginia State college; Edward Neverson, out standing player of Howard uni versity; and Horace Burton of A 1 e x a ndria, Va., outstanding sandlot player. This writer feels that should Dr. B u nc h e be offered a post in Washington, he should accept it for the help that he can give his people as well as the help of all races of all mankinnd. We, the Negro race, feel that the more outstanding people of our race we have in Washington, the better our problems can be met. I appreciate the job that Dr. Bunche is doing in the U.N., but to me America is first, and Dr. Bunche would be very valuable in any post that he might hold in Washington. Card of- Thanks I wish to take this means to thank my friends, The Police De partment and churches for the many flowers, and cards sent me during my recent illness.
