IF you don't like anything in
America" we are often told, you
can vote to change it,"
HOWEVER
Are you a resident OF the Dis
trict Of Columbia? Or Guam-or
American Samoa? Or an Indian
in New Mexico or Arizona?
THEN YOU CANNOT VOTE.
We're you born in Japan or
Korea? Then you cannot be-
come a citizen. You lose many
important economic privileges
and YOU CANNOT VOTE.
But don't lose hope. Since
World War II, Chinese and Fill
pinos can become citizens. Maybe
your turn is next.
If you are colored in the deep
South, your government says
that you can vote. But YOU
know well that YOU CAN'T
VOTE.
Perhaps you can't afford a poll
tax that eight Southern states
levy. Then, white or coIored,
YOU CANT VOTE. If ;ou are col
ored and can pay the tax you
still can't vote. You may be
lucky to get of with a beating if
you try. The result is that in the
last Presidential election, while
states without such a tax had a
7-out-of-1 10 turnout of eligible
voters, only 2-out-of10 voted in
poll-tax states.
In many Southern states you
must pass a fake "literacy test"
in order to vote. The Presidents
Committee tells us that 1.-THE ira
dition is to ignore such tests with
respect to white voters but to
apply them to colored."
In most Southern states, win
ners in a Democratic primary are
as good as elected. There white
primaries have been the rule.
Now they have been declared IL
legal by the Supreme Court OF
United States. Some states have
tried to get around the decision;
if they can't they use threats Of
intimidation to keep colored vot-
ers away from the polls.

COSTUME
BY ELEM SAKES
Fashion Editor

A BASIC" CAN BE anything
n you want to make it, from a
dress that you wear frequently to
one that you use all day long. A
good basic costume can change its
looks as the time of day changes.
Most such dresses have versa
tile necklines that are adaptable
to jewelry, scarves or other acces-
sories. This year, the basic black
has given way to navy. brown, dark
green and neutral tones which are
equally as smart and subject to
change as easily.
A good basic should have no
trimming except self lf-trimming
This type of dress never sets the
fashion world on fire, but every

CHICAGO, Oct. 7.-Gov. Earl

vice presidential campaign into Wis

end to secret deals" in United

He was scheduled to depart from
Chicago at noon for Madison, where
he makes another of his major
campaign talks tonight at the stock

Duluth tomorrow night.

the goth talk of his campaign last
night-completing three weeks of
travel that has carried his special
train through % States and into

Sacramento September Is, Gov.
Warren has logged 6,547 miles.
To a capacity crowd of $4,000 in
the international Amphitheater in
the stockyard district of Chicago's S

assailed foreign policy based on
secrecy.
There must be an end to private
pigeonholes' and secret diaries" by
former government officials turned
best-selling authors, he said.
Secret negotiations, secret deals,
secret commitments. and secret in
formation whether in our foreign or
domestic affairs, must go-once and
for all.
Must Have Facts.
'If our foreign policy is to have
spirit and force, it must have the
full understanding and approval Of
the American people" he declared.
But first they must have the
facts" Gov Warren said adding
that the Government has no right
to decide what its people should
know ard what they should not
know"
Under a Republican administra-
tion Gov. Warren promised a foreign
policy of mo vacillation or ap-
peasement-no bluff. just sound
practical determination based upon
