"Representatives of the nation's youth met here over the weekend to criticize a democracy which has disap pointedbut not disenchanted them. More than 200 col legians from 31 states joined to examine America's fail ures in guaranteeing human rights and to do something to remedy the failures. "Guest speakers presented an often bleak picture of social inequalities not recognized by much of the nation, from the police state-like tyranny of white authorities in Mississippi to the moral, mental and physical squalor of Negro ghettos in northern cities. "The students, mostly whites from northern schools and Negroes from the South, were assembled for the first annual National Youth Conference on Human Rights. The three-day conference, commemorating the 15th anniver sary of the U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Dec. 10, 1948) and the U.S. Bill of Rights Day (Dec. 15). "The speakers included Aaron Henry, Mississippi NAACP president; a white professor who has worked in voter registration attempts in Mississippi; and the presi dent of the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). 'Reign of terror,' 'Nazi state,' and 'Communist-like police state' were expressions they used to describe Mis sissippi after their work in attempting to register Negro voters and tutor Negro illiterates in cities like Greenwood and Larksdale. "They told of 'accidental' police shootings of Negroes who attempted to stir their brothers into demanding vot ing rights; physical intimidation of Negroes who attempted to register; and courts which have convicted hundreds of Negroes on real or imagined crimes against whites and turned their legal backs to white brutality against the Negro. "They told of the northern white volunteers who, in trying to raise the southern Negro from poverty and ig norance, have been arrested for driving through non-existent traffic lights or for speeding when their cars were not even moving. "They pictured, in fact, an authoritarian state whose existence is incredulous in a democratic country. "The delegates, as much as they wanted not to, gen erally believed the picture to be an accurate one. Some of them had worked for SNCC, too or had friends who had and knew that the picture was reasonably accurate. "But if the rest of the United States knew about it If the North knew about it, they'd stop it," murmured some of the delegates. And they tried to decide why the rest of the country didn't realize what is going on in the Deep South. "The white professor blamed it on the press and wire services. "'We have affidavits of police brutality, but we can't get the Southern bureaus to report them. They're terrorized because they have to live there and get other news there,' he said. 'It takes the murder of four Sunday School girls to make news today,' he shouted to delegates. 'What will it take tomorrow ten or twenty?' "Many of the delegates in private conversations blamed press apathy on the public's gradually increasing numbness to the day-to-day terror of the Negro in the South.

' Petroleum Geologist Talks Here Tuesday A member of the American Association of Petroleum Ge ologists' lectureship team, William E.

Mr. Ham is associate di rector of the Oklahoma Geo logical Survey, University of Oklahoma. His lecture is open to the public. facto school and housing segregation in northern cities caused by Negro poverty. Representatives from labor unions, citizens fair housing committees, the Federal Gov ernment, and the delegates themselves generally agreed that: "the problem of better housing, better jobs, and bet ter schools for minority groups is interrelated with the need for better housing, better jobs, and better schools for everyone; "so-called 'preferential treatment' clauses, which would give minority groups priority for jobs, would main tain rather than decrease race isolation; "the answer to minority group discrimination lies in federal laws preventing the overt exercise of prejudice and that if Negroes do not get assurance that such laws' will be passed, their non-violent protests will turn into a 'blood bath' all over the South. "Plans for the future in the fight against discrimina tion included pressuring for passage of the Civil Rights Bill now in the House Rules Committee and work by civil rights groups on eliminating the inferior job, educational and voting status of Negroes in the South and North. "Speakers and delegates also offered tributes to three champions of human rights who died within the last year Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, and Herbert Lehman, former governor of New York. "They paid tribute to the late President in a short wreath-laying ceremony at his grave in Arlington Ceme tery. They stood in respectful silence girls in trim, chic dresses and young men in ivy league suits. They looked pretty much like any other cross section of American youth. "Except, perhaps, more determined."' Summer Arab Tour In Offing Governments Give Clearance For 60 A tour of the Arab countries for students and faculty mem bers is in the offing for this summer.
