Vice-president Nixon Comes Through
In the face of former statements of President Eisenhower as
to the high respect and unshaken confidence he had in vice
president Nixon, it should not be a matter of surprise at the
royal welcome the President accorded him in accepting him as
his running mate for a second term.
The President staled on another occasion that the open invitation 
ho had extruded the vice-president and his attentiveness
to the offer made him a valuable asset to the official family.
The President did not hesitate on another occasion to state
that he (Nixon) had enjoyed every advantage of sitting in on
conferences, access to files and pertinent information which would
easily equip him for the high office of president.
It is a happy situation in the face of the deep respect with
Which the President is held all over the world for him to attest
such qualifications of the young man of only 43 whom he chose
in Chicago as his running mate.
Since it appears from here that since the President has made
it known that he would accept the nomination and according to
custom, the presidential nominee chooses his running mate, that
the National Republication Convention in San Francisco next
August will merely be a matter of form and will hardly consume
over two or three days at best.
The county will not experience any upset or out of normal
bearing in business as the next presidential election will presage
just such a routine as the San Francisco National Convention
promises.
In the face of attacks from the old guard and those in the
Opposition party who would enlist Mr. Nixon as the whipping boy
of what they "dislike about Ike, his coming through unscathed
would be quite a compliment to him.
Maybe some day he will be President of the United Stales
should he, he will hove come through one of the finest bits of
schooling ever to come into the life of a chief executive.

U. S. Mourns Senator Alben William Barkley
U. S. politics have lost one of its fiery war horses. No man
in modern political history has been such an apostle of practical,
grass roots and statesmanship affairs as Sen. Alben William,
Barkley.
The 78-year old "Veep" in the Truman administration climbed 
a political Iadder that was exciting as a chapter in Frank
Merriwell. His political career hurdled such formidable political
fences as congressman, junior senator, senior senator, majority
leader, vice-president and finally junior senator. He had the
winning touch in politics as well as in jovial, successful living.
When the Grim Reaper came — Barkley died — as the actor
lived – on the political stage. He was pressing the issues of the
party he loved and the causes it expoused.
Yet he was a man of the masses, the captains and the kings
and spoke all of their languages well.
Thus his death comes with shock and sorrow. His orbit marks
the end of on era of eloquent speech, homesy prose and spellbinding 
oratory. Yet always he talked sense. Few man used
the parable and the anecdote with the telling effectiveness of
the late Senator, He robbed the pompous of arrogance, inspired
the humble with eloquence and walked arm-in-arm with the
mosses, that is the best epitah that we can write in his memory.
American politics are poor because of his passing. And all
will remember his good works.


Truth Must Live,
Atty. Abram Says
In search for the truth, freedom of speech "must not" be
curbed, a young lawyer observed hero yesterday, at the Butler
Street YMCA during the Hungry Club forum.
Attorney Morris Abram also said
"culture is like a mighty stream"
with tributaries running in various
directions. Cut off either of these.
he added, and progress will be
hampered.
The young attorney and Rhodes
Scholar at Oxford University in
England called for a "middle
ground" in rare relations in the
South. He said the impact, of the
United States supreme Court's decision, 
irrespective of the moral
Implications, has bronchi about
extremists who exploit the decision
en racial grounds Consequently,
he added, the lines of communications 
have been cut off between
the two races.
Attorney Abram said it will take
the "moderates," those whose
opinions will view the Court's decision 
in light of practical terms to
deal with present-day problems.
"There can be no solution," he
said, until the middle voice can
be heard. People of responsibility
have abdicated," the attorney continued. 

If responsible people speak up
society will have the opportunity
to move along, he stated
Attorney Abram continued by
touching on some of those forces
which hamper progress.
"We got this way, through fear
of exercising the right to speak out
Man cannot use his heart, his head
and his mind unless he is free. Deny 
him this right," the young attorney 
raid, "and you make him
an animal."
Speaking on individual liberty.
Attorney Abram said no American
would deny that he believed in the
ideal. But the real question, he
total, to whether "we believe in
liberty for all in this country. The
main thing is do we have freedom?"
In reference to free speech, the

attorney said it better to let a
mini speak and hear error than to
suppress the individual.
"The only way to establish the
truth is to jet people speak."
He cited the work of Galileo to
document his statement. He told
how at one time men thought the
mil moved Mislead of the earth,
and that later men learned that
this was an error. He called attention 
to certain geometrical laws
which today have become obsolete
through research and study.
"If we can error in the natural
sciences surely we can be mistaken 
in the social sciences." he
said.
Attorney Abrams said there are
many factors blocking social, economic 
and political progress." he
said He mentioned social barriers
as among the most difficult to
break.
Attorney Abram was direct in
saying that the courts went out to
destroy segregation years ago He
cited the early Texas law case as an
example. He further stated that
even as far bark as the early tint
ties, the Supreme Court indicated
its desire to do away with segregation. 

The attorney was given a rising
vote of thanks by the entire Huntry 
Club audience following, his
speech.
SUPERSTITIOUS?
An interesting item recently niticed 
was that workmen, changing
lightning rods on the State of
Freedom atop of the Capital Dome,
287 feet above the ground decided;
to wait from Friday until Monday
to do the Job. It so happened that
Friday was the thirteenth of April.

of the stage and dancing with a

of the drums. Following him was

"At My Front Door," as an introduction 
to the Nekkie Hoke Chorus.
who dance very systematically to
the recording.

Fear Thinned

were present Friday morning and
and additional 100 joined the afternoon 
meeting.
The group adopted a resolution
roundly criticizing Gov. Coleman
for asking New York Congressman
Adam Clayton Powell and the Rev
M. L. King, leader of the Montgomery, 
Ala., Negro bus boycott, not
to come to Mississippi.
The Governor's telegrams, and
his description of both men as
"agitators." as "an open invitation
to violence had they appeared."
Coleman was criticized for what
the Council called "the effort being 
put forth to give the outside
world the impression that there is
a tranquil state of race relations in
Mississippi."
"There is a general state of unrest 
among the Negroes in Mississippi," 
the group declared, charging 
that Negroes "are not permitted 
to share" in democracy. The
resolution added:
"As long as the 986,000 Negroes
in Mississippi are denied their Godgiven 
American rights in the fields
of education, voting and justice,
there will be no thankful er quar
there will be no tranquil era in
Mississippi."
The Chief speaker of the morning
session, a Montgomery minister
who has been active in the bus boycott, 
urged Mississippi Negroes to
form boycotts of their own to
achieve their goals.
The Rev B. T. Lamerth, one of
a score of ministers arrested for
taking part in the Montgomery boy
cott called on the Negroes to boycott 
particularly white merchants
operating in Negro neighborhoods.
A white man comes into our
neighborhood and opens up a store,"
he declared. "and when he gets rich
on our trade he builds a big house
downtown and you can't go in the
back door we've got to move them
out and you can move them out
without doing a harmful act All
you have to do is to stay out of his
store for 30 days He'll move out."
Speaking of the Montgomery boycott 
Lamerth said Negroes plan to
continue it until the Supreme Curt
specifically knocks down municipal
ad stat laws requiring segregation
on intra-state public transportation
in Alabama or until city officials
voluntarily agree not to enforce jim
crow laws.
A suit attacking the lawe will be
heard in a federal court in Montgomery 
May 11.
Lamerth urged Mississippi Negroes
to strive particularly to obtain the
vote in their state The list of 20
000 registered Negroes in Mississippi
has reportedly been shrunk to 8,000
through use of economic pressure

applied by the pro-segregation white
citizens councils.
The Rev J. P. Redmen, of Greenville, 
Miss., chairman of the first
session of the fifth annual meeting
of the Mississippi Regional Council
of Negro leadership, said fear caused 
by statements form state officials
kept thousands of Negroes away
from the session.
He referred to Gov James P.
Coleman's telegrams to two men
who had been invited to speak at
the meeting. They are the Rev.
Martin Luther King, Jr., leader of
the Montgomery boycott and U. S.
Rep Adam Clayton Powell (D) of
New York.
Coleman said he felt the men were
"agitators" and would stir up strife
among the Negroes if they came to
Mississippi. Both men replied that
previous commitments.
The council then asked Coleman
to speak and he also refused because
of previous commitments.
Rev Lamerh, during his address,
prayed:
"May God forgive every race-baiting 
citizen from the governor on
down."

MARRIAGE for THREE
ADAM got back into the truck,
and whirled it away from the sidewalk 
where, for all he cared, the
girl in white shorts and blue halter
still stood trembling with anger.
At the corner, he had to fight
the wheel to hold the car against
the wind; he should get under shelter 
for this one. He'd not attempt
to drive home. Anyway, he was in
entirely too edgy a state lo talk
decently to Wendel about anything
—not that Pinky had any real
grounds for assuming that his
brother-in-law — No, held get
leveled out a bit before tackling
Ann's family.
He parked, and strode across the
sidewalk to a , went in and
found a small booth empty. The
place smelled like the devil, racketed 
with talk, juke box music, the
ping of a busy pin-ball machine.
But maybe here Adam could think.
Pinky had made one sensible
suggestion, that he talk to Isler
Without her knowing it, Isler had
already asked him to consider the
California job, and Adam had
promised to think over the propo
sition.
If Adam could locate him after
the storm abated, of course- he
would have a natural opening for
mention of his personal problems,
and—with due allowance for the
fact that Isler wanted him to lake
the job at Cal Tech—Adam could
count on the scientist, a man in
his fifties and a very nice guy, to
survey his situation dispassionately, 
and offer the only sort of comment 
or advice that Adam would
listen to.
It was a real disappointment not
to be able to locate Dr. Isler that
evening. Adam made the rounds
of his jobs, checked on possible
damage, and finally, like a schoolboy 
dragging his feet on the way
to the woodshed, he turned the
pick-up toward the canyon.
At the first sign of the approaching 
storm, Ann had taken her
family home. She'd left windows
open, and, anyway, home was the
best place to be in a storm.
Wendel, of course, reminded her
that "the weather was always nice
m New Mexico"; she was too busy
to mind, closing every opening, the
ventilator fan in the kitchen, laying 
folded towels against the window 
and door sills—and, even then,
the sand came in, to lie in small.
ridged heaps upon the floor, to
spread in a fine dust over every
surface, even the dishes in the
cupboards.
When Ann advised Wendel to
rinse a glass before using it, he
said something sarcastic about a
sew house being supposedly weather 
tight. And Ann, like any housekeeper 
who bas got her house
shining for company and then gees
It reduced to a Band piles—Ann
flared up in defense of Adam, his
building skill and hit general
character.
"Oh, at takes a good man,"
agreed her brother sardonically,
"to collect things like that redbeaded 
number. I must ask him
what his system is."
"Wendel!" protested his wife.
"I'll ask you just one favor,"
said Ann, tensely. "Please don't

speak a word to Adam about
Pinky."
"My Lord, child ..."
"Just don't meddle," said Ann.
"That's all you need in remember.
Tend to your own business, and let
Adam and me all end lo ours."
Wendel shrugged. "OK. For all
I know, you're two-timing him!"
Ann considered that beneath notice, 
and went on about her preparations 
for dinner. They'd not
wait for Adam. He d have his jobs
to check on after a storm of that
violence.
"At least, that's what hell tell
you," said Wendel. "I'd almost like
to stay and listen, but I've been
thinking, Ann—the storms over;
I think we'd better go back to Albuquerque 
tonight, so we can get
an early start west in the morning." 
They finished dinner hurriedly 
and left.
When Adam turned the truck
into the canyon road, night was
falling purple into the valleys,
moonlight lay silver upon the
peaks. He left his truck in the
drive and shouldering a sizable
chip, he entered the house through
the lower level office. He knew
that chip was there; he was all
set to tell Wendel a thing or two
—and Ann, as well, if it should
be necessary!.
The living room was shadowy,
lit only by the last flare of the
sunset. Ann was moving about-in
the shining bright kitchen; she
wore a thin while dress, the skirt
full about her pretty ankles. Her
hair was tied back from her face
with a ribbon.
The house was quiet and clean,
and on the kitchen counter Ann
had set out dishes for his dinner.
He came through into the light,
still looking about No guests were
anywhere in evidence.
Ann smiled at him. "Would you
like lo shower before you eat?"
He scraped his thumbnail down
over the grit on his check, nodded
and ducked back through the big
living room; she had clean clothes
laid out for him. He sighed.
It was only when he was trying
to decide if he should eat more
chicken or "save myself for that
pie," that Ann mentioned Wendel
and his family. She told of their
day.
The sandstorm, she said, had
scared them off. They wouldn't
even wait until Adam came home.
"It was quite, a storm," said
Adam.
"Yes, but–Ann laughed a little.
"He's the kind of tourist who
starts out determined not to gee
anything better than can be seen
home."
"Wonder why he bothers."
Ann chattered a little about the
children; shed bought them some
Indian shoes—they'd wanted a
Santo, "but I told them that those
were not dolls."
"And cost a mint," laughed
Adam.
Ann filled his coffee cup anew,
and slid into a seat across from
him. "Adam," the said, in a tone
so casual as to sound almost indifferent, 
"could you get away next
weekend? I'd like to go down to
Albuquerque."
"I guess I could manage that.
What for?"
"They have a marriage counselor 
down at the University. I'd like
— both of us—to talk to him."
Adams very blue eyes studied
her round, pretty face. She met
his gaze bravely, and honestly.
"There's no use fooling ourselves,
Adam," she said quietly. "We need
some help. I knew that when I
saw Pinky sitting in your truck
this noon."
Red flared into his cheeks. "I
Listen to me, Ann!"
"It doesn't matter, Adam, how
or why she was there. I know
you've tried hard to clear up that
—trouble. And I've tried. But it
hasn't been good enough, Adams
It isn't cleared up, and that's why
I think we need outside help. We
might talk the whole thing out to
each other—you know? Completely 
honest, completely frank. But
I'm afraid ..."
"That we'd get emotional?"
"Yes, or hurt each other. Be
hurt."
"Or get mad—" His smile
sweet. He was greatly pleased with
Ann. After what he'd expected to
find in his home tonight—his initial 
relief at discovering her alone
had made him vulnerable to this,
or any, suggestion. But what
really pleased him was that he enjoyed 
being vulnerable!
"Even if we didn't get mad," she
was saying earnestly, "we don't
seem to know enough — I don't,
anyway—to be sure we're able to
analyze the situation correctly, or
make plans we'd feel sure-were
right."
"Maybe this counselor you talk
about wouldn't do any better."
"But he's trained to the job, and
he must have experience enough
to judge a situation and advise
the couples who come to him."
"He'd be a stranger. I mean, he
doesn't know anything about us."
"Yes, and that's an advantage,
Adam—he can't be prejudiced."
"How do they operate, Ann? Or
do you know?"
"Only in a general way. They
write things for magazines, you
know. I've read an article by this
very man, I guess we'd start by
laying all the facts before him—
maybe there'd be several conences. 
He'd want to make s
sort of investigation; I guess. Maybe 
talk to each of us separately.
I don't know, Adam, but it would
be worth trying if he could advise
us so that we'd ultimately be able
to live happily together!" She
leaned toward him, her face intent. 

As Adam watched her, an odd
expression grew in his eyes. "Is
that what you want, Ann?"
"Of course it's what I want! I
married you five years ago, Adam,
because I loved you. I want our
marriage to work, if it possibly
can!"
The expression in his eyes got
some odder before it changed
again, and warmed into a smile.
The thought that Ann would go
to such lengths lo save her marriage, 
after she'd had such rough
treatment! But if she wanted a
complete Reconciliation, she should
have it! His voice rang clear with
pleased excitement. "Let's do,
Ann. Let's go see the guy.


CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR
ADAM got back into the truck,
and whirled it away from the sidewalk 
where, for all he cared, the
girl in white shorts and blue halter
still stood trembling with anger.
At the corner, he had to fight
the wheel to hold the car against
the wind; he should get under shelter 
for this one. He'd not attempt
to drive home. Anyway, he was in
entirely too edgy a state lo talk
decently to Wendel about anything
—not that Pinky had any real
grounds for assuming that his
brother-in-law — No, held get
leveled out a bit before tackling
Ann's family.
He parked, and strode across the
sidewalk to a , went in and
found a small booth empty. The
place smelled like the devil, racketed 
with talk, juke box music, the
ping of a busy pin-ball machine.
But maybe here Adam could think.
Pinky had made one sensible
suggestion, that he talk to Isler
Without her knowing it, Isler had
already asked him to consider the
California job, and Adam had
promised to think over the propo
sition.
If Adam could locate him after
the storm abated, of course- he
would have a natural opening for
mention of his personal problems,
and—with due allowance for the
fact that Isler wanted him to lake
the job at Cal Tech—Adam could
count on the scientist, a man in
his fifties and a very nice guy, to
survey his situation dispassionately, 
and offer the only sort of comment 
or advice that Adam would
listen to.
It was a real disappointment not
to be able to locate Dr. Isler that
evening. Adam made the rounds
of his jobs, checked on possible
damage, and finally, like a schoolboy 
dragging his feet on the way
to the woodshed, he turned the
pick-up toward the canyon.
At the first sign of the approaching 
storm, Ann had taken her
family home. She'd left windows
open, and, anyway, home was the
best place to be in a storm.
Wendel, of course, reminded her
that "the weather was always nice
m New Mexico"; she was too busy
to mind, closing every opening, the
ventilator fan in the kitchen, laying 
folded towels against the window 
and door sills—and, even then,
the sand came in, to lie in small.
ridged heaps upon the floor, to
spread in a fine dust over every
surface, even the dishes in the
cupboards.
When Ann advised Wendel to
rinse a glass before using it, he
said something sarcastic about a
sew house being supposedly weather 
tight. And Ann, like any housekeeper 
who bas got her house
shining for company and then gees
It reduced to a Band piles—Ann
flared up in defense of Adam, his
building skill and hit general
character.
"Oh, at takes a good man,"
agreed her brother sardonically,
"to collect things like that redbeaded 
number. I must ask him
what his system is."
"Wendel!" protested his wife.
"I'll ask you just one favor,"
said Ann, tensely. "Please don't

speak a word to Adam about
Pinky."
"My Lord, child ..."
"Just don't meddle," said Ann.
"That's all you need in remember.
Tend to your own business, and let
Adam and me all end lo ours."
Wendel shrugged. "OK. For all
I know, you're two-timing him!"
Ann considered that beneath notice, 
and went on about her preparations 
for dinner. They'd not
wait for Adam. He d have his jobs
to check on after a storm of that
violence.
"At least, that's what hell tell
you," said Wendel. "I'd almost like
to stay and listen, but I've been
thinking, Ann—the storms over;
I think we'd better go back to Albuquerque 
tonight, so we can get
an early start west in the morning." 
They finished dinner hurriedly 
and left.
When Adam turned the truck
into the canyon road, night was
falling purple into the valleys,
moonlight lay silver upon the
peaks. He left his truck in the
drive and shouldering a sizable
chip, he entered the house through
the lower level office. He knew
that chip was there; he was all
set to tell Wendel a thing or two
—and Ann, as well, if it should
be necessary!.
The living room was shadowy,
lit only by the last flare of the
sunset. Ann was moving about-in
the shining bright kitchen; she
wore a thin while dress, the skirt
full about her pretty ankles. Her
hair was tied back from her face
with a ribbon.
The house was quiet and clean,
and on the kitchen counter Ann
had set out dishes for his dinner.
He came through into the light,
still looking about No guests were
anywhere in evidence.
Ann smiled at him. "Would you
like lo shower before you eat?"
He scraped his thumbnail down
over the grit on his check, nodded
and ducked back through the big
living room; she had clean clothes
laid out for him. He sighed.
It was only when he was trying
to decide if he should eat more
chicken or "save myself for that
pie," that Ann mentioned Wendel
and his family. She told of their
day.
The sandstorm, she said, had
scared them off. They wouldn't
even wait until Adam came home.
"It was quite, a storm," said
Adam.
"Yes, but–Ann laughed a little.
"He's the kind of tourist who
starts out determined not to gee
anything better than can be seen
home."
"Wonder why he bothers."
Ann chattered a little about the
children; shed bought them some
Indian shoes—they'd wanted a
Santo, "but I told them that those
were not dolls."
"And cost a mint," laughed
Adam.
Ann filled his coffee cup anew,
and slid into a seat across from
him. "Adam," the said, in a tone
so casual as to sound almost indifferent, 
"could you get away next
weekend? I'd like to go down to
Albuquerque."
"I guess I could manage that.
What for?"
"They have a marriage counselor 
down at the University. I'd like
— both of us—to talk to him."
Adams very blue eyes studied
her round, pretty face. She met
his gaze bravely, and honestly.
"There's no use fooling ourselves,
Adam," she said quietly. "We need
some help. I knew that when I

MEALTIME MELODIES!
By LEODA GAMMON
The second Sunday in May is
celebrated as Mother's Day through
out the USA. Generally there is a
special program in her honor at
church and a gift from her very
own family at home. A party honoring 
Mother can be a most
thoughtful gesture, too.
What do you girls think about
a pretty party

Maybe several of

and plan
a Sunday afternoon 
party for
your mothers.

would be nice if
your mothers like
being with each

you could plan
one just for your

be a lot of fun. Just plan some
thing that is simple and then doit-yourself. 
Mother will be hi proud
of you. First, think of the color
scheme that you want to carry out
Since it's Mother's Day you will
want to select either red and white
or pink and white. Your flowers,
table cloth, china service and food
can carry out your scheme. Get as
much of your work done before actual 
party time as you possibly
can. (Even a pitcher of cool water
in the refrigerator for those who
are thirsty is a lot of help.)
When you get your heads together
you will come up with a lot of
ideas, but for a starter this is a
party menu that spotlights red.

Ike, Others

mock convention of Washington
and Lee College students at Lexington, 
Va.
They were "I would rather be a
servant in the house of the Lord
than sit in the seats of the
mighty."
Dr. Frederick Blown Harris. Senate 
chaplain and a long-time
friend of Barkley, conducted the
20-minute service. He extolled the
Democratic Senator in a personal
prayer as a man who was "greatly 
honored by his countrymen, who
ever put principles above pedestal,
who was a partisan with deep convictions, 
yet without a blind spot
that cannot see the integrity of an
opponent's position."
Dr. Harris epitomized his old
friend with this eulogy: "We think
of one who with unbowed head and
unembittered heart met life's tragic
losses, and who found constant fun
in living, and who reveled in laughter: 
who loved folk more than fortune, 
and who was valiant, as a
knight of old, in righting wrongs
and enthroning justice; and who
counted it as n part of his relig
to help see that his government
was well-governed."
