The senate amended the measure by taking out compulsory , features and substituted an edu- \ cational program. The measure! was then returned to the house.: where a 63-65 vote was registered, the 63 votes being in favor of the ! senate rider—five shy of the necessary 68.

Mrs. Clare Booth Luce, former congresswoman from Con necticut and wife of the publisher of Time and Life magazines, and Dr. Vernon Johns, pastor of Dex ter Avenue Baptist church, in Montgomery, were guest speakers at Tuskegee institute’s commence ment exercises, 400 students re ceived degrees last week. Mrs. Luce’s speech highlighted com mencement day on Monday. Dr. Vernon delivered the baccalaure ate sermon Sunday. “There are a thousand useful public strategies and fruitful pri vate techniques which the edu cated Negro is learning to employ to break the vicious circle of dis crimination, poverty, segregation and to destroy the ugly caste sys tem based on color,” declared the attractive, versatile Mrs. Luce in addressing the large graduating class in the subject, “The Time for Christians.” Stating that the fu ture “will belong to the men who have character, vision and cour age to go to the heart of what is the matter with our society,” Mrs. Luce related, “what is wanted to I save our civilization from atomic or economic annihilation is the acceptance by man of the simple proposition that his survival de pends utterly on his keeping his own soul in his body and his brother’s body around his soul. “Capitalism, communism, de mocracy and Christianity,” she said, “are words which have nec essarily lost their common mean ing. It is important, though, in trying to find out why keeping body and soul together is a revo lutionary political idea that you and I know exactly how we are using some of these words and what we mean by them. Capitalism, she pointed out, is a system which makes the primary purpose of government that of aiding or protecting the individual in his unlimited legal acquisition To New York Miss Jeanne Malone Miss Jeanne Malone, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Malone, 1035 Rose, will join the College Summer Service group in New York City this summer to par ticipate in a “Students in In dustry” project of property and wealth. Pure capitalism lets a man get as rich as he can so long as he stays out of jail, she related. Contrasting capitalism and com munism the speaker declared that “where capitalism ignores man’* soul, communism denies its ex istence.” “I believe,” she continued, “it to be utterly impossible for anyone to analyze what democracy is, as we know it today, without coming to see that the difference between democracy and either capitalism or communism is made by Chris tianity. The spirit of Christianity is the right of every man to choose freely; the oneness of mankind; the equality of every embodied soul in the eyes of God.” “Only Christianity offers the principles of government by which the citizens can keep body and soul together” and “in the years of your youth you must decide whether you are going for Chris tianity, capitalism or commun ism.” Mrs. Luce closed her address with a tribute to the late Dr. George Washington Carver whose “saintliness has made more con verts to the Negroes’ cause than all the lobbyists—though they have had their place too.” Dr. Bunche Scheduled For 2 More Honors NEW YORK.
