We do well to treat everybody in a fair and impartial way, for we’ll need all elements of our citizenship in event we have to be forced into a world conflict. My observations in my recent world tour leads me to believe that the people of the world look upon the Negro visitors ‘at some distance’ when we advocate the fairness of the United States attitude toward Negroes.” 18,00 delegates to the Ameri can Association of School Ad ministration heard a committee on resolutions, in urging fair play and good will in controver sial school desegregation issues: “It is the conviction of the as sociation that all problems of integration of our schools are capable of solution at the state and local levels by citizens of intelligence, understanding and reasonableness working together in the interest of national unity for the common good of all.
