Literary Column , t TEMPER When I have lost my temper, I have lost my reason too. I’m never proud of anything which angrily I do. When I have talked in anger, and my cheeks are flaming red, I have always uttered something which I wish I had not said. In anger I have never done a kindly deed or wise, But many things for which I felt I should apologize. In looking back across my life and all I’ve lost or made, I can’t recall a single time when fury ever paid. I struggle to be patient, for I’ve reached a wiser age, I do not want to do a thing or speak a word in rage. I’ve learned by sad experience that when my temper flies, I never do a worthy deed, a decent deed, or wise. TIME TO WORRY The fact that you have done a foolish thing is not serious. For thousands of years, girls have been just as foolish and just as ashamed of themselves. It is only when you begin to argue that what you have done is not foolish, but perfectly proper, that you need to check yourself. Speakers Express Views (Continued from page 1) “This lynching is a disgrace to the country,” the congressman said.* “The good people of the South deplore it. But when you get a group of hotheaded radicals who lose their sense of balance, you have violence.” The principal of LB421, bill in troduced in the Nebraska State Legislature outlawing racial or religious discrimination is “fine,” he commented. He said when the fair employment practice bill was before the national house he supported it. Some good is being done in the current drive to abolish discrimi nation in Washington, he believes. ■ The Negro in Washington has been crowded into some unhappy situations, he stated, and some thing should be done to rid these conditions. Senator Owen Brewster (Rep., Maine) defended the material contained in an article written by him and published in the Nov. 9, 1946 issue of the Liberty Maga zine, Thursday in a press confer ence at the Cornhusker hotel. Brewster was the main speaker at the Republican Founders’ Day banquet. In his article Brewster devoted several paragraphs to alleged un disciplined violence of Negro troops in Germany . The article brought wide spread protest by Negro leaders. “My article was based entirely upon the report of a colonel in military intelligence,” the senator from Maine said. “There have been other reports to bear what it stated. (The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People disclosed that the report from which Brewster secured his information was “unofficial and unauthorized.”) Communists are trying to high pressure the Negro race more than any other group and the Negro should be careful of any support the Reds might offer, is the belief of Nebraska’s junior senator, Kenneth S. Wherry. In Lincoln for the Republican Founders’ day celebration, Wherry said, “If the Communists would concentrate upon the 13 million other Americans as they have upon the Negro race, I am sure a higher percentage of them would turn Red than there has been in the colored group.” Wherry favors the complete abolition of the poll tax as a re quirement to vote and of any sensable legislation that would outlaw, what he termed, “distaste ful lynchings.” He gave his approval to the proposal to limit debate on legis lation by a majority. ”In the past I have always signed cloture pe titions so that debate on anti poll tax and fair employment practice bills would be limited,” he asserted . -n BLIND STUDENT MAKES DOOR MATS Livingston Wills, junior at the Union College is an English ma jor and has many outside activi ties. Among other things, he makes door mats by hand from binding twine, a trade which he learned in high school at Nash ville, Tenn. Mr. Wills came to Lincoln in 1944 and has been active in the church and community. He is a Deacon in the Church of Christ (Holiness) and assists with the music. He was employed last summer in the College broom factory.
