New Head of
College of Liberia
Dr. J. Max Bond, the former
director of the School of Educa
tion at Atlanta university, will
assume his duties as president of
the College of Liberia in Mon
rovia, West Africa, June 2. Prior
to joining Atlanta’s staff, Dr.
Bond served at head of a special
educational mission in Haiti and
representative of the Inter-Amer
ican Educational foundation. He
will be joined by his wife, Ruth,
in September. The couple’s three
children will remain in the
United Sta es to continue their
education.—(ANP). i
I Dr. Bunche, presently director
of the trusteeship division of the
U. N.f deserves a chance to try
his peacemaking talents on the
cold war in Russia, says Collier’s.
“It shouldn’t be thought that
we are advocating Dr. Bunche's
appointment as a stunt,” says the
weekly’s editorial. “Rather, it
would be a logical step in Amer
ica’s progress toward better race
relations.”
The weekly suggests that the
President make the Bunche ap
pointment “when Admiral Alan
J. Kirk has had enough of the
Moscow assignment.”
A Bunche appointment would
be one way for our government
to turn the tables on the Soviet
segregation propaganda “and
show the world, by deed rather
than by word, that the segrega
tion picture isn’t so black as it’s
painted.”
“The Russian citizen couldn’t
very well be denied the knowl
edge that Washington had sent
a Negro ambassador to his gov
ernment,’’the Collier’s editorial
says. “He couldn’t be insulated
from the contradiction between
propaganda and actuality.”
(During his recent trip to Lin
coln it was suggested to Dr.
Bunche that it would seem that
he would make an excellent ne
gotiator to Russia through the
United Nations organization, but
he laughed off the point indicat
ing that Mr. Lye was to be in
Moscow the next week. He
treated the matter quite casually.
