-Expansion Planned by Britain =~

~ LONDON~~(ANP)~A _ $400,~900,000 colonial expansion pro~gram, designed to. build a
~strong new empire around Africa, was announced~ in the
~~-house of commons here last
_ Wednesday..
~" ~The announcement came
from Colonial Secretary Arthur
*Creech Jones, who. said the
money would be spent on, industry and agriculture, in an
effort to bolster Britain ~econo~My and to compensate for its
weakening position. in India,
Egypt, and the middle east. The

awoneW. program.-will. tie.in with

the plan to develop British East
the empire~s main
overseas military base.-Ships

~_and ~troops formerly scattered,
through Egypt, India and other

~bases would ~be
in British ~ Eas:

intérmediate

Africa.
~The proposal starts out with
_the setting up of a colonial de*- velopment corporation with~ the
total ~borrowing power of $400,_.000,000. The object of the,com*sbime, which will operate on
commercial principles, ~will be
~to establish or assist/any enterprise in the coloyies which is
designed to incr~éase their general productive capacity. No
doubt these enterprises will be
mainly agriculture, but the corporation will be able to undertake any enterprise which: serv-. Pr ee tied Adie RS Ae ee

es the general object.

~We propose the corporation
shall be given power to conduct enterprises itself or to set
up subsidiary organizations to
run individual projects ~or give
assistance to existing enterprises,~ Creech Jones said. ~It is
not intended to supplant private enterprise, but to supplement it.~

He pointed out that legislation is being worked on to provide for a separate corporation
to take over a peanut-growing
project already under way ~in
East Africa and under food
/ministry control. This corpora~tion would also launch other
~food-growing projects, such.as
wheat and corn projects, and
raising cattle on the undevel~oped lands of British | Africa.
Through this way, the empire
could become self-supporting
and less.reliant upon Argentina and other American countries.

Sites of the principal scenes
of development are expected to
be East Africa and the Rhodesias, possessors of the best unexploited agricultural land. The
Rhodesias already provide
much of the coffee used in Brisain. Bases are planned for -the
Rhodesias, Kenya and East Af
rica.

GI Outstanding Among Howard

~Pvt. John Delano Caldwell, of..héadquarters company, 758th
~"Pank battalion, was easily the

most outstanding among grad

here last week. Caldwell, a na-.etive of Neches, Tex., finished
the radio repairmen course

~with a rating of ~superior.~

A graduate of Prairie View
~ebllege, he entered the service

in June, 1945. In September of

the same year, he -was selected
to take a year~s course in elec~trical engineering at the University of Utah under the army
specialized training program.

Upon completion of this train

White Man Gets Sit Moaths =
For Riding Bus Beside Negro;

_CHAPEL..HILL,N.C.~(ANP)~_What Dixie courts think
of ~southern white ni@n who do
not ~believe that Negroes should
be segregated was demonstrated in Judge Henry Whitfield~s
court here last week.

Joe Felmet, white, of Asheville, N. C., receivéd six times
the maximum sentence for sitting with a Negro on an interstate bus. The judge handed
down.a--verdict. of..~~six. months
on the road.~

This was supposedly an ~error
on the judge~s part, since the
offense under state jim crow

law carries a maximum penalty
of 30 days. When reminded of
this by Prosecutor T. J. Phipps, |
Judge Whitfield~s excuse Wwas:}
~T can~t keep all these things
in my little head.~

Felmet was appearing in~
eourt with Andrew Johnsen of
Cincinnati, following their arrest last April for making an

~interracial bus trip through the

south.. Together with two others, Igal Roodenko, white, and
Bayard Rustin, both of New
York, they were making a tour
sponsored by the Fellowship of: continued

Maximum Penalty Only 30 Days

of Racial equality.

Last May 20, Judg> Whitfield
sentenced Roodenke to 30 days
and Rustin to court costs on the
same charges. At that time, the
judge reportedly told one of
the defense attorneys that he
had more contempt fer whites
than for Negroes in such a situation.

Felmet~s six months~ sentence
was reduced to 30 days, and
Johnson drew a reduction of
fine from $50 and costs to $25
and costs.

The cases are being appealed
by the defendant~s attorneys, C.
Jerry Gates, Herman Taylor,
and Edward Avant, all of NAACP., Two other members of the
group,
New York and Dennis Banks

of Chicago, both sentenced to

30 days each, have had their
~cases continued until the July
or August term of court on the
prosecution~s. request. According
to Atty. Curtiss Todd, also of
NAACP, the cases are being
indefinately pending
a decision by the Virginia Supreme court in the case of Miss

Retonciliation and the Congress | Lottie E. Taylor.

commissioners have not demonstrated any ability at efficient
governmental administration.
He said it was conceded that
the proposed legislation was instituted to make the recorder
of deeds office more efficient
and effective in the discharge of
its statutory duties, but that such
efficiency would not come
through the medium of district
control of that section.

Pointing out that the organizations which he represented do
not~ support traditional ~Negro
jobs,~ he said that they were
jealous of the opportunities for
~employment without distinction
~by race or color, as is currently
shown. in. the deed recorder~s office. He said a casual tour of the
district ~building..would reveal a
paucity.of. Negro employes in
other:~than menal capacities.

Dr. Marshap Shepard, -present
recorder of deeds, said that the
bill, in removing the. control
from the recorders~ office, would
handicap the manner. and efficiency of the work. Public hearings were clqsed with a promise
of making decision in executive
hearing.

tory was made by Prince Hall
Masons of Atlanta, with the assistance of thetr Eastern Star
sisters last week when they
raised $12,010 in their St.
John~s day rally at Wkeat

The rally was put over by
the Rev. William Hoimes Borders, Wheat Street pastor, wh
delivered the annual sermon
The effort had been piannsé
and carried out to pay off the
last installment of a mortgage
due on the Masonic temple property, corner of Auburn and
Hilliard. The three-story temple
cost the Atlanta Masons $60,000
in 1940 when the building was
completed.

The temple is not owned by |.

the grand ledge of Georgia, but
was bought and paid for by the
local Prinee Hall Masons. The
entire debt was paid off by Atlanta Masons in Seven years.
The property now belongs..to
the five local lodges, including:
St. James, No. 4, Elmer Lewis,
W. M., and L. B. Dickerson,
secretary; Gate City, No. 42,

Electrification Advances
Push-Button Farming Era
Ycu'~ve probably heard séme day
dreamer sit around and forecast
that someday all a farmer will have
to do is rest in his easy chair, push
one button to milk the cows, another button to feed the chickens
and another to chop the wood. Well,
all that is nice to think about, any- way, but of course few think modern farming ever will reach that
stage. @ bd
till, there is lot of push-buttor,
farming going on in the United
States, if you can call an electric
switch a push-button. The pt
yaent of agriculture reports! tha
more than half the farms of!
tountry~about 53 per
have electricity to. help. do | a
chores. Back in 1935, only.10 per.
cent of the nation~s farms had electricity. Incidentally, 1985~ was the
year the rural electrification program. began.

In a survey, it was found that the
first piece of apparatus that a
farmer buys when he gets electricity is a radio. Next in popularity
seem to be washing machines, electric irons, refrigerators, water
pumps, cream _ s@parators, chicken;
brooders and~: milking _ machines.
More than 400 different uses for
electricity were found on the farm.

REA officials say that the fural
electrification job is only, a little,
more than half done, howeyer; and:

it~s destined to spread faster~and |

farther in the next few years. In. fact, if completely favorable éondiit would be. possible -

tions existed,
for American farms to be totally
electrified within five years..'

NEW YORK. -~ Experiments on

Figen the life~ span and extends.~prime of life.~ Dr. Henr

Sar Sherman, Mitchell professor
~meritus of chemistry at Columbia

Dr. Sherman, regarded as one of
Ye highest authorities on the chemiry of feod, took as the normal
~iet for his experiments the vitamin
~and calerice relationship of the
2commended allowances of Na:
tonal Research council, as anouneed at the inational nutrition
onference called by President
*~oosevelt in 194]. According to Dr.
hermar.. the expériments showed
uat quadcupled allowances of vitawin A in human ~ are deirable.

~This appears. the more prob~ble,"~ Dr. Sherman said. ~~in view
f the fact that most people prob~Ely live less protected lives than:
hose of experimental animals, A
~ertain food mixture~ called~ ~Diet
\' ~was found adequate to the sup~ort of normal nutrition generation
after generation for the white rats;
yet ~Diet B,~ differing only..in its
aroportion of protective food, has
been found to result in better life

~Growth and -devélopmert are
senefleially expedited,~ vitality ~is
nigbor and death rates lower: at all
iges: full adult capacity or ~prime
f life~ is attained. earlier and revained longer and the life expectaion is increaséd not only for the
tourg but also~ fur the adults. The
rev'ous general progress of public
realth has increased the life expecation of the infant but not of the
grown person. Now, the nutritional
improvement of the norm raises thé
life expectation of the adult as well,.

~The extra years thus offered are
not to be pictured. as added to old
age. Rather it appears th at something like an extra decade can be
inserted at the prime or apex of the
life lived in accordance with today~s
newer knowledge of nutrition. Life
becomes longer because it is: lived
on a higher health level throughout.
The apex of attainment is higher,
the period of the prime is longer, }.:
and, in human terms, there is a
smaller percentage of years of dependence.~
