Siki lost that fght and another more I serious one—the later with a gang of armed ruffians in the ‘‘Hell's Kitchen" section of New York City. He was stabbed to death in this encounter, but, like the legendary Senegalese, he never surrendered. He went down fighting. I MAYOR URGED TO CRUSH CIVIL SERVICE DISCRIMIN ATION PRACTICE New York, N.

C. THE STRENGTH OF FREEDOM by RUTH TAYLOR The first time I heard that phrase it came from the lips of one of the truly great statesmen of the Labor movement. There was a lifetime of experience in his tone when he said “We underestimate the strength of freedom.” What he had learned in his years of struggle to improve the condit ions of his fellow workers, is the secret of the -power of democracy. It is the vital spark of reserve pow er that makes us sure of the ulti mate victory in this war against tyranny. There is a hidden strength to freedom, an innate power which is invincible. Fearful souls speak much of the might of the totalit arian nations, of the forces of de spotism. But all of these are as nothing beside the strength of free dom. Freedom has powers beside which the powers of armed might crumble into their native nothing ness. Thereis a balance of power in freedom because it is applicable to all without regard to class, color, or creed. Without equal rights for all there is no freedom for any— no liberey, just license to oppress) for the favored few. Freedom means the possession of self initiative and the exercise of THE MAN FROM MARS might well be the description given our new soldiers of chemical warfare. The protective clothing and gas mask of the warrior above is similar in many respects to that worn fey atStnbers of the Negro decon tamination unit in Australia. Yank, the Army newspaper, describes the activities of this unit. the powers cf deliberation. It tak es courage to be free, because it de mands the acceptance of Jtties as well as of rights.

If a child has been properly trained, he can be trusted as an adult to make cor rect decisions. Those who have been trained to freedom have the strength to use it wisely. This is our salvation as a nation. This is the cohesive quality of democracy.
