Cunningham Urges Implementation
of Hoover Recommendations
I was proud to cast my first vote recently for implementation of
the Hoover Commission Report. Progress on Hoover Commission rec
ommendations is steady. In all, 72 per cent of the 273 recommendations
of the First Commission have been put into operation.
Due to the different type of recommendations for saving federal
money contained in the Second Commission report, some jobs are
taking longer. But again the progress has been encouraging. Some 40
per cent of tue Second Commission recommendations are now in full
effect.

Just as I wrote last week that spring weather seemed to be on its
way here in Washington, we had some more winter-like weather. As a
result, five of the young Cunninghams were out of action last week
with the flu. But things are better this week, and the weather is nice
again.

Secretary of the Treasury George Humphrey has attacked the pro
posed new budget, and recently showed he practices what he speaches.
He refused to ask a Senate Committee to restore funds cut from the
Treasury Department budget by the House of Representatives. In ac
cepting the cut, the Secretary had some encouraging words. He said,
“It’s easy to spend other people’s money. In my own personal life,
I’ve always had to pass up things I wanted. It’s the same in govern
ment; sometimes you have to postpone necessary things.’’
It would be a good idea for some of these government spenders to
have those words framed above their desks.
Our visitors recently have included Don Decker, Norman E. Long,
E. M. Hemmingson, Larry V. Glynn and John Devereux of Omaha, the
latter three here for a labor meeting. At the Nebraska breakfast last
week there were also three men here for a construction convention—Si
Korshoj of Blair and L. F. Kepley and Attorney Dean Kratz of Omaha.

Sonia Anderson of 6107 South 18 Street in Omaha was here last
weekend to receive a $400 scholarship as one of the winners of the
Westinghouse Science Talent Contest. She is one of 40 winners out of
more than 15,000 applicants. Sonia is a student at Tech High. I had
dinner with her Monday night when the winners of the contest were
announced, and she told me she enjoyed her exciting trip to Washing
ton and all the sight-seeing.

Washingtonians like to tell about the new Senator who reportedly
drove into a streetcar tunnel near the Capitol. When he came face
to face with a streetcar, the Senator supposedly roared to the conductor,
"Don't you know this is just for Senators?”
I guess he was thinking about the little tunnel from the Capitol
to the Senate Office Building, the one with the little electric cars for
Senators and others to ride on.
The 'True' Potential
of Men of Color
In the midst of the impressive ceremonies going on in Ghana,
formerly the Gold Coast, in Africa this week, attendant upon its attain- j
ment of statehood and independence of Great Britain, it is well that j
we think on the full significance of the reason often given by public
figures for courting a better world opinion of the United States by
better treatment of its American Negro citizens, descendants of African
slaves, most often, historians tell us, pressed into slavery from this
very Gold Coast.
That reason was succinctly stated in Los Angeles, during the recent J
Negro History Week observance, in the scholarly and eloquent address j
of Dr. Reuben Sheeler, of Texas Southern university, who said it has
“become necessary" for the United States to attempt to integrate its j
people, because “the great markets of the world are non-white consum
ers, and the controls of vast resources in the world are in the hands
of non-white peoples.’’
These pointed facts are too often deliberately sidestepped in the
vague and nebulous reasons given by U S. leaders for improving U.S.
repute with the darker peoples of the world, who are the majority
population, by squaring America’s practices with its protestations of
democracy.
And Negroes, who are purposely kept unaware of the great po
tential of Africa by the information media of this country, do not
underscore these facts, as they should be underscored, in their efforts
to remind the white majority in the U. S. that the minority it mistreats
is a part of the majority of the total world population.
However, the inspiring development to date of the Gold Coast, or
Ghana, as it will come to be known, speaks clearly of Africa as the
consumer of tomorrow, and of the African as increasingly the factor
to be reckoned with in getting at the magnificent raw materials of that
continent.
Under its brilliant and dedicated Prim Minister, Dr. Kwame Nkru
mah, Ghana is rapidly raising the standard of living, the educational
standards, and the living, expectancy of its people and is both develop
ing its own rich natural deposits, which include many things the wes
tern world must have, like rubber, lumber, gold, diamonds, manganese
ore, and aluminum, and inviting under conditions appropriate and bene
ficial to it, foreign investment for the capital the new country must
have.
The Ghana of not too many tomorrows will be an economic factor
to reckon with, both as an importer and exporter, and the same will
be true of other African countries as they attain their independence.
The growing wariness of the United States then of the
light in which it is seen by the people of the African continent
and by the Asiatic peoples, is not based on any missionary zeal
and vague apprehensions that those unsophisticated peoples
will sell their souls to the devil by embracing Russian Com
munism. rather than Christian capitalism, but on fear that
they will develop a buyer resistence to the goods produced
by U. S. capitalism and a prejudice against U S. capital in
investment areas.
The Negro, both as a sizeable segment of the U. S. population and
a ‘kissing cousin’ of a larger and potentially well-situated portion of
the world population, should be aware of his value on the open marlr*t

At Aurora the Sociology classes have taken over the job of
seeding the school lawn. The Aurora News-Register pointed out
that the project may have a two-fold benefit 1. The lawn got
sowed at little expense to the school district, but 2. the lawn may
get better care since the kids had a hand in getting it started.
Aurora has a new school building, their former one having burned
last simuner a few weeks before school was due to start

Petitions are out at Hooper seeking to get the matter of money
