United States.

President Dwight D. E~/enhower has stated: ~Each
young American owes it to
himself, and to his. country,
to prepare to meet the demands: and opportunities of
the future. Toward the
achievement of this goal, ed--
ucafion and training are essential. Our ~schools provide
the powers of tomorrow.

~I urge every boy and girl
in the United States to continue as students in school
until they have developed
Pend God-given capacities -to
the~ full. Only in this way can
they hope to make their finest _ contribution to the
strength of the nation and
reach the fulfillment of their

SPEAKS ON

POWELL |
NEW YORK CITY ~ In her

column ~My Day~, ~irs. Eleanor;
Roosevelt voiced a somewhat |
subdued opinion on Powell
which could no longer be kept
reserved.

~It was no. surprise~, she
wrote, ~to any of us in New
York City that. Adam Clayton
Powell won the Democratic
nomination for Congressman
in Harlem. Carmine De Sapio,
leader of Tammany- ~Hall; 1) ~has
promised that the De ratic
Party will now unite behind
Powell, and | suppose there
is nothing else he can say,.
since people of Harlem have
made their choice clear.

~Those of us who are interested in seeing the Negro people intelligently represented in
high places, and who hope this
representation can be of a quality which will help to bring
about integration and the recognition of the high development.among. Negro leaders, cannot help~ but be a. little~ sad

upon young people the importances of continuing in school
until they have gained a thorough formal education.~ Edmunds continued by saying:
~Our community needs more
well-trained people of all races. Although some of our
young people still experience
difficulty because of race in
thefr ~quest for employment,
the Urban League, with the
support of the community at
large, is working to remove
this difficulty and employment -opportunities are growing steadily.~ Mr. Edmunds
concluded by saying, ~Young

in school and improving their
abilities.~
