Carl Rowan Tells
New Yorker Of
Finland Experiences
(Continued from Page 1)
English, eighty-six thousand are
studying German, and four hundred
and fifty are studying Russian.”
Mr. Rowan remarked that he
himself has been studying Finnish
every morning, and has found it
rough going. "It’s supposed to
have the same root as Hungarian
and Estonian," he said, “but the
Hungarian Ambassador tells me
there are only about twelve Fin
nish words that he can understand.
I’ve been told that if a Finn and
an Estonian spend a few days to
gether, they can understand each
other after a while, but for an
American there are no related
words at all except a few modern
terms. The pronunciation is not
hard to learn, but the grammer is
a killer. Finnish has case endings
so the word for ‘house,’ for ex
ample, is 'talo,’ but if you say
Tm going into the house’ it be
comes ’taloon,’ and ‘l’m leaving the
house’ makes it ‘talosta,’ and ’He’s
in the house’ changes it to ‘taloesa’.
Hie grammar’s a killer, but I
think I’m making some progress.”
We asked Mr. Rowan how his
job has been affected by the fact
that he is a Negro, and he said,
“All In all, Td sum it up by saying
that this is one of the all too rare
occasions When it is actually of
some advantage to be a Negro. I
think that when we arrived in
Finland I had two advantages—
being a former newspaperman and
being a Negro. Because of the lat
ter fact, there was a special curi
osity on the part of the press at
first, and I think the news people
felt to some extent that I was one
of them. We’ve had a very good
press. Of course, my advice to any
diplomat who wants to have a
good press is to have two or three
kids and a dog. Our dog got to
Finland before we did, and met us
at the airport. He bounded up the
steps of the airplane and into the
arms of my eleven-year-old boy.
There were pictures, naturally, and
I think we made the front page
of every paper in Finland the next
morning with’that one. I’ve never
held a press conference that hasn’t
had at least one question on the
race problem, and the questions
often come at unlikely moments.
For instance, I recently paid an
official visit to Lahti, a city about
an hour and ten minutes from Hel
sinki. It’s known as the most
American city in Finland. Right in
the middle of the Lahti Halloween
Ball, which is sponsored by the
Finnish-American Society, a mem
ber of the city council turned to
me and asked, apropos of nothing,
If I could explain the racial con
flicts in the United States. But
the Finns now seem no more aware
of our being Negro than we are
aware of it. We would almost for
get about race if people didn’t
ask us about the race situation in
the United States; there isn’t that
constant, day-to-day strain of won
dering if you’re going to get served
in a restaurant or if you're going
to get turned away at a hotel —
that sort of thing. Of course, you're
never quite far enough away to
forget completely. I know my chil
dren’s future is tied up with the
future of those children in Ala
bama and Louisiana and Missis
sippi. About the troubles there, I
think, the press in Finland has, on
the whole, shown a lot of restraint.
©Ut there have been days when it’s
been especially painful to be the

Communist paper and another left

front-page picture of people in
Jackson, Mississippi, kicking a Ne

was the same with that picture
of the Birmingham policeman hold

In general, the press is a lot like
the American press, but the news
papermen are far less aggressive.
I've finally convinced them that
it’s all right to ask me tough ques

don’t ask me about the things that
trouble them. One of them explain

If history shows that the cl

sidered the Negro church to be
negligible in church history, or
possibly have not taken it into
account at all. Be that as it may,
Negro history win show that our
churches have heralded and cru
saded the contempory thinking of
her people as far back as you
would care to go.
Nevertheless, we marvel that
this thinking has permeated our
minds, to the sad neglect of things
of the spirit. More specifically,
those elements of a worship serv
ice that would make the strongest
appeal to the whole spiritual being
of man (art forms —music, most
ly) have bogged down in nine
teenth-century-isms at best.
If there’s any truth in the old
proverb the achievements of a
people are best shown through the
caliber of its art then make
room in the back pew, ’cause we
haven’t been scoring too high.
The dignity and majesty lended
a worship service by the classic
organ, with its exposed pipework
(incidently, a tremendous move
ment sweeping this country with
all deliberate speed) delights
many; while we’re sitill reveling In
the dynamic “effects” of the cres
cendo pedal of an electronic con
traption, mind you.

our era Twentieth-Century com
posers who have definitely begun
to take their place among the
greats of all time Stravinsky,
Schoengerg, Alban Berg and all
the rest. Imagine! this kind of
thing in OUR church. Maybe not
just yet, but an occasional motet
of Poulenc or a little anthem set
ting by Ralph Vaughan-Williams
would be a happy substitute. In
fact, if we could put aside the
proverbial “hallelujah chorus” (no
tice the absence of caps) for a
spell, we might achieve a new kind
of emotionalism, even with Brahms,
or William Bryd of the Seventeenth
Century. Our musical heritage is
all this in addition to the simpli
city of the spiritual, you
know.
In this space we can at best only
scratch the surface of some things
that might have been well said a
long time ago.
And if this effort should reach
no further than a series of in
formal conversations pro or other

PRE-CHRISTMAS
TEA HELD DECEMBER
8 DESPITE SNOW
In spite of the wintry winds and
snow, the pre-Christmas Tea, Sun
day afternoon, December 8 given
by the Senior Choir of St. Peter’s
Church was very well attended.
The Christmas spirit was ex
huberant as the participants ren
dered beautiful Christmas music.
Those appearing on the program
were Mmes. Joanne Johnson, Rose
Marie Cook, Virginia B. Russell,
Dorothy Sims and James Nichols.
The undercroft of the church
was beautifully decorated with a
silver Christmas tree and a huge
red bell hung over the prettily ap
pointed tea table. The table filled
with tasty sandwiches, candy, nuts,
mints, fruit cake, cookies, punch
and jasmine tea was beautiful to
behold. A red net covered the
white tablecloth.
The centerpiece of white and
gold bells with white tapered
candles burning on either side,
cast a golden glow on the table
setting.
Members of the choir and their
guests enjoyed a wonderful after
noon.

Arkansas Officials
Puzzled Over Status
Of "Mixed" Couple
Pine Bluff, Ark. (ANP) Six
years ago Gov. Orval Faubus of
Arkansas called out the state’s
national guard in a futile effort to
stop nine Negro girts from enter
ing an all-white high school in
Little Rock, but last week a Negro
and White couple were living to
gether as man and wife in Pine
Bluff, and no immediate action
was taken against them.
However, legal authorities ad
mitted they were troubled by the
interracial development. Their
problem was what to do about the
marriage of two integrationists,
one white, the other a Negro, who
had married in Cincinnati, Ohio,
where intermarriage is legal, and
then returned to live in Pine Bluff
where such marriages are banned
by law.
The couple are William W. Hen
sen, Jr., 24, white field secretary
of the local branch of the Student
Non-Violent Coordinating Commit
tee, and the former Ruth Buffing
ton of Pine Bluff. The couple, who
have indicated they are ready for
any legal test, are both members
of the Pine Bluff Movement, an in
tegration group fighting racial
segregation. •
Hansen and Miss Buffington
were married in Cincinnati on Oct.
If legal action is brought against
them for violating Arkansas’ Jim
crow law forbidding intermarriage
it is likely to be the first such test
of its kind. Attorneys said they
knew of no other Instance where
the legality of an interracial mar
riage performed in another state
had been tested in Arkansas courts
Under Arkansas law, mixed
marriages are “illegal and void,”
and persons involved in them are
guilty of a misdeameanor. Persons
found guilty of such violation
could be sentenced to as much as
a year in jail. However, last week
no one seemed in any hurry to
prosecute the Hansens.
Meantime, the Hansens have in
dicated that they are not awed by
the anti-mixing law. Following
their marriage, Mrs. Hansen went
to visit her mother in Memphis,
Tenn., .but her husband remained
in their home here to see if Ark
ansas officials would start legal
proceedings against them.
Arkansas Atty. Gen. Bruce Ben
nett, who has fought the NAACP
in the courts for a number of
years, denounced the marriage as
an effort to foment trouble, but
said he was powerless to act be
cause he lacked jurisdiction. He
said charges would have to be
filed by the Pine Bluff prosecuting
attorney.
But the prosecuting attorney E.
W. Brockman, Jr., refused to even
comment on the case, and city at
torney George Holmes was un
available for comment.
Bennett called Hansen and his
wife troblemakers who were work
ing for organizations whose pur
poses were to create dissension for
the people of the South. Bennett’s
statement referred to the Hansen’s
fight against segregation.
Hansen has been jailed several
times for participating in anti
segregation demonstrations in both
the North and the South. His wife
was expelled from Arkansas AM
& N college here for participating
in a sit-in demonstration in down
town Pine Bluff last winter. At the
time, she lacked only a semester
to graduate. She plans to enroll
soon at the University of Cincin
nati.
Mrs. Hansen said her mother ap
proved of the marriage. Her moth
er’s only concern, she said, was
whether her daughter was happy.
Mrs. Hansen said she is.
