India-Pakistan Situation Topic of Sherman Scruggs Whitney M. Young, Jr., Biographical Sketch Whitney M. Young, jr., was born on July 31, 1921, at Lincoln Ridge, Kentucky.

Upon returning from Service, he enrolled at the Uni versity of Minnesota and re ceived his Masters Degree in So cial Work in 1947. Throughout his academic career, Mr. Young has consistently been in the up per tenth of his class and almost without exception was elected president of each class. While at the University of Minnesota, he was appointed assistant instruc tor and made vice president of the Student Social Work Associa tion. Mr. Young was employed for three years by-the St. Paul Urban League as Industrial Sec retary and, during that period, was instrumental in getting Ne gro citizens placed in over eighty new industries heretofore closed to them. Notable among these positions were chemists, engi neers, architects, sales girls, tele phone operators, stenographers, etc. He was the second Negro to be accepted in the Junior Cham ber of Commerce in the United States and the first to be made a member of the St. Paul Y’s Men’s Club.

Two hundred thirty people at tended the Annual Meeting at the League building, 2030 T Street, January 31st, to hear Dr. Sherman D. Scruggs, president of Lincoln University, Jeffer son City, Missouri, talk on India Pakistan situation. As a mefnber of UNESCO’s American education conference to India-Pakistan, Dr. Scruggs had the opportunity to talk with India’s premier, # officers, educa tors, and people during a 10 week meeting in that country last summer. The new Indian republic is “sensitive about the dignity of the human individual,” the speaker said. “There Is a mis giving that the West regards the people of India as expendables. “While there is no desire in India to enter into any relation ship with Russia, there is a feel ing that if another man wants to embrace communism, that is his right.” However, India does not con done any “nation that would force its doctrines upon an other.” But Premier Nehru, with his belief in non-violence, is seek ing to negotiate the problems in a peaceful way, if possible, the / educator asserted. He stressed firmly the impor tance of Americans giving af firmative action to their demo cratic beliefs—abroad as well as at home. Transmit Ideas “We must transmit our ideas in such a manner that the F*r East has confidence in our ef forts to develop a ‘one world’.” The speaker said that about 18,000 Indian students are study ing in this country. The com mittee’s work was seeking ways and means of facilitating ex change of students, scholars, books, research material, and culture.
