The fact that two conflicting ideas have come to seize upon this important occasion as a clearance for their differences, makes this one of the most important setting of a body politic on this continent. From the keynote speaker on down to the present, the eve of the nomination of a candidate for a standard-bearer for the Democratic Party, the thread of the Supreme Court decision of May 17th, 1954 has been interwoven in nearly every caste. That powerful subject, already decided by the highest court in the land, will not down itself for resolution and activation, but continues to strut and fret its hour on the stage. Many of us bemoaned the fact that at the local level, politicians who seized upon the question and fused it into a campaign issue, were spending their energies and opportunities at a fruitless game. We insisted then as we do now, that such had no place in a political arena as something to still be decided by a vote of the people, but the die was cast and the practice mounted from the ward-level to an untenable position around the table of national and world events. We now see the chickens come home to roast. Those who kept the question alive in hot protests, instead of going about as the court ordered in seeing how soon could the question be resolved, now see that those who sowed the wind are coming in to reap the whirlwind. It is indeed a regrettable spectacle to see a political party wrangling to a near split over something already settled and those segments of that party making their first inquiry as to how and where Will certain citizens fare in this combine intent upon seating a President of the United States. Yes, the court decision and its hand-maid Civil Rights have come to roost at Chicago. They brought these here for this inning. This inning will bring closer the final solution of what has been splitting churches, public forums, political parties and even the union itself. While we bemoaned the practice of bringing legal questions upon political-horizons, maybe this will prove a healthy situation in the end. If all is well that ends well, a contribution might be in the making. Anyway Chicago forms an important setting for the Democratic Party; from that windy city, once destroyed by Mrs. O'Leary's cow kicking over a lantern in a barn, we await another important decision. Another lantern is reposing in a barn and it seems that before the adjournment of this body, it also may be kicked over. 79 Get Masters At Atlanta Univ.

MEALTIME MELODIES BY LEODA GAMMON Cubes of meat browned in flavor full butter, are served as Strogonoff in a sauce seasoned to prefection withonion, a bit of garlic, Worcestershire sauce and buttermilk.

Nat'l Baptist To Discuss Freedom At Denver Session Fifteen thousand delegates representing 25,000 churches from every state in the Union are expected to converge on Denver September 5-9 for the 76th annual session of the National Baptist Convention, U. S. A., Inc. Theme of the convention is "Freedom Through the Christian Religion." An outstanding array of speakers, including Dr. Howard Thurman, Dean of the Marsh Chapel, Boston University, who will be the annual Booker T. Washington Night speaker on Friday evening, and Mr. Martin Luther King, Jr., head of the Montgomery, Ala. Improvement League, will address the body in what promises to be one of the most historic sessions in the long life of the convention. According to Dr. J. H. Jackson president of the group, the convention will give considerable attention to four vital questions facing Negro Baptists, and particularly the part the church should play in areas where the NAACP has been outlawed; the matter of integration and the Baptist Convention - shall it be moderation, gradualism, or pressure for immediate action; the development of an overall educational program, the purpose of which will be to coordinate as far as possible the educational activities of Baptist schools and colleges; and a progress report on the Ministerial Retirement Fund. The nual Booker T. Washington night will feature the nation oratorical contest which is open to high schools students. The subject of the orations will be "America's Best Answer to the Challenge of Communism" contestants from all the state conventions are eligible to participate for prizes which total $1,750,00 as scholarships for college education for the top three winners. Arrangements for entertainment of the convention are under the direction of Dr. M. C. Williams, pastor of the New Hope Baptist Church and President of the Western States Baptist Convention Dr. Wendell T. Liggins, pastor of the Zion Baptist Church, is co-chairman of the Entertainment Committee. The pre-convention musical which is set for Tuesday night, Sept. 4, will feature a thousand voice interracial choir under the direction of Mrs. Jessie Maxwell, prominent Denver educator and a graduate of Bishop College in Marshall, Texas. President Jackson, who is now in Europe attending a planning session of the Central committee of the World Council of Churches, expects to return to the country just before the convention sets in Denver. Billy Graham Is Urged To Crusade Against Race Bias Dr. Reinhold Niebuhr, world-renowned theologian at Union Seminary in New York, has urged evangelist Billy Graham to take a firm stand against racial prejudice. "The moral dimension of the issue is very simple." Dr. Niebuhr said in a Christian Century article last week. "It is whether the Christian recognizes the validity of the Biblical observation, 'if a man sayeth that he loves God and hateth his brother, he is a liar," asserted Dr. Niebuhr. ENCHANTED HARBOR By DOROTHY WORLEY 1956, by Dorothy Worley. Reprinted by permission of the publisher, Avalon Books. Distributed by King Features Syndicate. Priscilla Paige is a bored with her job in a New York office yet doesn't want to get married. An opportunity to escape presents itself in a trip to Apalachicola. Florida, to settle the estate left unexpectedly to her by a great-aunt. Priscilla's friend-older wiser Rita Lambert-drives with her to claim the mysterious mansion. Lookout House, which is rumored haunted and has a secret passage. They decide to keep the purpose of their visit to themselves because three strange men seem curiously interested. They are Bill Duval, who says he is a writer; Red Gallagher, a fisherman, and Luis Alvarez, a wealthy yachtsman. Attorney Todd fakes the two girls to the old mansion and reluctatly leaves them with the key. They explore the dust-laden rooms and Rita finds $500 on the floor in a roll of brand-new bills. AS PRISCILLA and Rita drove away from lookout House, they noticed on the other side of the street, a few doors down, an attractive garden cottage with a "For Rent" sign on it. The larger house faced the other street and seemed to be closed, although the grounds appeared to be well kept. Rita slowed the car, an idea forming in her mind. "I wonder -Priscilla, if we're to be here several days, it would be fun to rent that little dollhouse. It's practically across the street from Lookout House. Perhaps they would, rent it for a week anyway, since it's vacant. It would be so convenient if you're going to try to do anything with those antiques. The sign says it's furnished." "And we can watch for the haunts." Priscilla laughed. They saw a real estate office and went inside to inquire about the cottage. While they were there, Rita remembered the money she had found and telephoned Mr. Todd. "We found some money at Lookout House, Mr. Todd, Did you lose it?" She didn't say how much it was, or just where she had found it. She had been so sure it was his, she was astonished to hear him say he hadn't lost any money. He hadn't had any with him. In fact, just that morning he had said he'd have to be sure to get to the bank before noon. Mr. Todd didn't seem particularly interested. Probably supposing that it was a small amount, he said he guessed finders were keepers. Rita replaced the telephone thinking, How on earth will I find who lost it? I can't keep that much money was it possible it had been there a whole year? Who had been in the house since then? Perhaps they should communicate with the woman who had lived with Aunt Rachel. But the money was too new. It was crisp and unused. Of course if they couldn't find the owner, she would turn the money over to Priscilla. After all, it had been found on her property. At the real estate office they learned that the people who owned the little cottage, the Glass family, were in Europe. The cottage was fully equipped, and they couldn't see any objection to renting it for a week if the girls wanted it. They moved into the cottage that afternoon. There was a sitting room, a bedroom with twin beds, a small, adequately equipped kitchen with a built-in booth for dining. Everything was scrupulously clean. "Look, Rita! There's coffee here, salt, pepper, sugar. Let's go out and buy groceries. This is going to be fun! There's even a telephone–let's see if it's working. It is! How nice." They telephoned Mr. Todd and told him of their move. He sounded quite excited. He had called them at the hotel to tell them that he had a prospect for the house, but they had already checked out. Luis Alvarez had just heard that Lookout House was on the market and he was interested. What Alvarez didn't say was that Red Gallagher, cruising around town, had seen them visit the house and had reported it. Then Alvarez had lost no time in calling on Mr. Todd. He said he had decided it would be a good site for the hotel he proposed building. He wasn't particularly interested in the furniture, but said he would buy the place intact. The main thing was he wanted it right away. Priscilla, who took the message, turned and relayed it to Rita. Her first impulse was to tell Mr. Todd to take whatever Alvarez offered, but something clicked in her mind. How had this man known that Mr. Todd was in charge of the house? Why hadn't he contacted a real estate firm instead of a lawyer? Had he seen them go there? The place had been vacant a long time. Luis Alvarez had been in town for some time. Why had he suddenly become interested in the place? And why hadn't he asked the price, instead of saying he would make a good offer? Rita advised her to wait. In the meantime, they would visit some real estate people and get an idea of the value of the place so that Priscilla could talk more intelligently about it. They went back to King Realty Company, from whom they had rented the cottage. Mr. King looked from one girl to the other. He said, "I hadn't heard that Lookout House was for sale. I thought they were still trying to locate the heir." "I'm the heir," Priscilla explained. "Mrs. Porter was my great-aunt. She left Lookout House to me and of course I want to sell it. I'd like to dispose of it while I'm here, if I can." "It would take considerable restoring," Mr. King said promptly. "I don't suppose you could find a purchaser interested in doing that. About the only thing valuable would be some of the furnishings and the lot. There are several lots involved and it's bayfront property. Should bring a pretty good price," he paused and laughed, "without the house." Priscilla smiled. "And the haunts." "Oh. So you've heard that? Well, of course there's no such things as haunts, but those tales get around. Guess they'd disappear, with the house gone. Yes, I should say the best thing was to tear down the house and offer the lots for sale." Priscilla told him that Mr. Todd had a client who was considering the property for a hotel site. Mr. King shook his head, "Don't believe they'd let anyone put a hotel there. Some of the best old homes in town are in that neighborhood and the people wouldn't want a hotel so near. Of course I'll be glad to investigate for you, if you like." He suggested that they call him the next day and he would try to give them an appraisal. As they were leaving the real estate office, the red Buick passed by and Priscilla said, "That red-Buick man again. He didn't see us, though." "Yes, she did," Rita said. "It would have been impossible for him not to. And I saw him look over here, then look away. There's something in the air Priscilla. We're being followed But why?"

Of course I'll be glad to investigate for you, if you like." He suggested that they call him the next day and he would try to give them an appraisal. As they were leaving the real estate office, the red Buick passed by and Priscilla said, "That red-Buick man again. He didn't see us, though." "Yes, she did," Rita said. "It would have been impossible for him not to. And I saw him look over here, then look away. There's something in the air Priscilla. We're being followed But why?" Southern Race Students At Mixed Colleges Get NSSFNS Scholarships Eighty-five southern Negro students, including Memphian Gwendolyn Williams, a junior at Evansville (Ind.) College, now enrolled in interracial colleges were awarded $27,000 this week in supplementary scholarships by the National Scholarship Service and Fund for Negro Students. These awards supplement $64,850 in college scholarships which the students have been awarded by each of their colleges and bridges he financial gap between college awards and the student's total financial needs. The outstanding records of these students, from southern segregated high schools and, for the most part, from low income families, now attending a nationwide group of 554 colleges and universities (including Harvard, the University of Chicago, Dartmouth, Michigan State, Radcliffe and Rockford) have now proved that the promise they showed as high school seniors has not only been met but in many cases exceeded. Richard L. Plaut, Executive ViceChairman and Director of the NSSFNS extensive two-year "Southern Project" talent search, financed by the Fund for the Advancement of Education, feels that the Project has made college a reality for these students. He also stressed that these students have shown that good college material can be found off, as well as on, the beaten track and not always where cultural and educational advantages exist. "The game talent searching tools and methods we developed during our Southern Project," Mr. Plaut said, "can uncover much heretoforehidden talent everywhere—talent so badly needed to fill our shortages of trained manpower. There is no reason why this kind of program couldn't work equally as effectively with all deprived groups. Educationall deprived students who show only promise and potential." Mr. Plaut continued, "so often blossom when given the same educational opportunity and financial aid as students with already fully developed ability." Asked what the biggest problems were in furthering educational opportunities for Negroes, Richard Plaut had this to say: "The real stumbling block in helping Negro students reach college is the lack of available qualified and motivated candidates. It is not a problem of finding places for them. NSSFNS in its eight years of existence has helped over 4,000 students to enter 300 interracial colleges across the country and secured for these stu dents over $1,250,000 in college scholarship aid. We might have found five times as many places for Negro students if enough of them were well enough prepared and educationally stimulated in time. Many colleges go out of their way to offer scholarship aid to qualified Negro students who need it. "As a nation we cannot afford to overlook superior human potential wherever it is. The 'Negro potential,' like any hidden talent, is waiting in the elementary and junior high school next door. It is for this reason that we are preparing from our findings in The Southern Project a publication to be called Blueprint for Talent Searching. With this as a guide, local communities may be better able to discover future nuclear physicists, engineers, doctors and scholars from within the country's deprived groups."

HIDE GRAY HAIR SLICK BLACK DOUBLE ACTION 1COLORS GRAY HAIR BLACK 2DRESSES HAIR IN PLACE KEFAUVER FELT OK"D FOR "VEEP" POSITION A group of Democratic kingmakers revealed last night that Sen. Estes Kefauver apparently has the inside track for the No. 2 spot on a probable Stevenson ticket. One top strategist told this correspondent that although frontrunner Adlai Stevenson would prefer Sen. Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota as his running mate, "delegates have been given to understand that he is willing to give the nod" to his once bitter rival, Kefauver, instead. The source said Stevenson has been warned that otherwise he could risk an almost unprecedented overriding of his own wishes in wide-open balloting on the convention floor. It was pointed out that Estes, the champ underdog handshaker of '52 and '56, could lend more strength to a Democratic ticket already split wide open by the bitter HarrimanStevenson tussle. Neither Kefauver nor Humphrey is desired by Southern diehards, but realists among them concede that a hard-hitting liberal of that stripe is almost a "must" to balance the "moderate" Stevenson. Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson of Texas, darling of Dixie politicians, could undoubtedly give either man a tough run for the vice presidency. Johnson, however, insists to Lone Star State cronies that he does not want the subordinate spot. Humphrey, long an outspoken advocate of Stevenson's candadicy, risked his political prestige in Minnesota by the losing battle to deliver his home state's primary vote to Adlai. It went to Estes, instead. Although Kefauver is not now, and never has been, popular with the party pros, these realistic gentlemen want a winning combination and most are convinced that Estes could bring more stregth to the ticket than Humphrey. Both men have liberal voting records, and could promise a hardhitting campaign against Vice President Nixon. Humphrey does not even control his own state's delega tion, however. Whereas Kefauver could boast approximately 360 delegates bound to him for the Presidential nomination until he threw in the towel two weeks ago. Many of these can be recaptured for a formidable show of strength for the Vice Presidential spot, if a knock-down fight is allowed to develp on the convention floor. Key strategists, after a secret huddle late Wednesday, reprted that Stevenson is "about convinced" that Kefauver would give better balance than any other man to his ticket.

Egypt has refused to attend the meeting on the ground it is not competent to deal with Suez matters. However, Egypt was reportedly sending an observer to the talks). Dulles, who was in London two weeks ago for Big Three talks on the Suez said on his arrival from Washington he hoped that the conference will settle the crisis. He declared that a solution was "vital to the peace and well being on the world." The U. S.
