Integration Problem Unsolved Negro Spokesman Against Violence By Frank Partsch Senior Staff Writer Prathia Hall, a member of the Student Non-violent Co ordinating Committee (SNCC), told a group of Uni versity students last week that many southern Negroes are afraid to register and vote because of social, economical and political oppression by election officials and law offi cers. Miss Hall said that, in Sel ma, Ga., about 30 out of 800-900 Negroes have been al lowed to register and that people standing in line to register have been beaten with electric cattle proddcrs. In a resume of the work of the SNCC, Miss Hall listed Civil Rights legislation, more voter registration and educa tion of the voters to pass literacy tests as the main goals of the organization. "Many times, out of fear, the people slam their doors In our faces," she said, "and when a man finally walks out of his 'shotgun house' (so called because of its poor con dition) he knows that he is risking the loss of that house, his job and maybe even his life." Many cases of racial injus tices, according to Miss Hall, have never made the press. She cited many examples of murders, beatings, and un lawful arrests that she and other members of the com mittee have witnessed which were never reported. Many of these crimes were in retalia tion against the Negro's at tempts to register. SNCC, indicated Miss Hall, is composed of students who give a year of more from their educations to help pro vide a non-violent channel by which oppressed Negores can gain rights which have been withheld from them. Although their work is pri marily in the South, Mill Hall admitted that there are racial problems in the North and East as well, and that her visit to Lincoln is to cam paign for civil rights legisla tion support. SNCC has been attacked by segregationists who call them radicals and communistic, says Miss Hall. In answer to these charges, she said, "Communist? What is more American than the right to vote? I don't need the Kremlin to tell me that -I don't like to see a man beat en because he wants to vote." The Daily Nebraskan UN Elections for Homecoming Queen will be held today from 8 to 6 p.m. on both City and Ag campuses.

Curran, vice president and general Euro pean manager of United Press International in London, told journalism students Tuesday, "The British are becoming much more tolerant of the U.S. racial problem." Curran, a former NU stu dent himself, went on to say that "London has been having similar troubles of its own, particularly with Jamaican immigrants who have come to London in search of jobs and were unable to find them." When questioned on British feelings toward the Negro drive for equality, Curran said Londoners believe that Ne groes are "certainly entitled to it." The London newsman also commented on Africa's , trou bles, attributing them to Radio Club Offers Instruction Course The University of Nebraska Amateur Radio Club, which is sponsored by the Air Force ROTC is starting a c o u r s e which will enable students to receive an amateur radio license.

The speaker was Dr. Peter M. Friedheim, manager of the Farmers Association of West Berlin. He was a farm man ager in the East German area before the war, and for a time also under the Communists. Some reasons that ttiie area now in East Germany, once more porductive than the West German area, has fallen be hind in farm production, he said, arc: The drive for collectivizing the farms has taken away much of the incentive from the farmers. Agriculture cannot be planned, because it is an or ganic part of the economy with too many uncontrollable factors. Farm production in the Communist countries will in crease, he predicted, if for no other reason than because it is now so low it has no place to go but up.
