URGE RELEASE
OF RIDERS JAILED
Detroit - Release of impris
oned “freedom riders" in Jack
son, Miss., is sought by the Na
tional Conference for Interracial
Justice in an appeal to President
Kennedy.
In a convention resolution Aug.
28 the conference argued that
the riders should be freed be
cause “they are unjustly con
fined and have acted entirely
within their constitutional I
rights."
The conference also asked I
President Kennedy in another I
resolution to issue a presiden- I
tial executive order banning dis- I
crimination in all housing which I
receives federal aid or mortgage I
guarantees. It urged governors I
in states without fair housing I
practice laws to initiate such 1
legislation, and asked the AFL- j
CIO to end racial segregation
in local unions and to stop dis
crimination in union-controlled
apprenticeship programs.
Bishop Victor J. Reed of Okla
homa City and Tulsa said that
a Christian can take only one
attitude toward racial injustice -
condemnation. Speaking at mass,
he said that a policy of silence
is indefensible.
"Our country is today the
world’s leader," he said; “Her
failure affects others than her
self. . . Her public image is
being maliciously distorted by
her enemies as a result of racial
segregation difficulties. . . With
secularism trying to seize lead
ership and seeking to interpret
life on every side, the church
cannot delay. Her mission in the
world is not to follow but to
lead. . .

POOR VISION
HARMS GRADES
SOUTH BRIDGE, Mass. —lt’s
ironic that in the world's wealthi
est nation, almost nine million
of the 33 million students have
difficulty seeing.
Youngsters or even teen
agers may believe that the
blurred letters and figures they
see on the schoolroom black
board look that way to everyone f
It’s unfortunate that a child
can not always tell a parent
about his problem because he
doesn’t know a problem exists.
Leading pediatricians and child
psychologists advise periodic eye
examinations to discover seeing
difficulties so these problems
can be detected and treated early.
