C. p. Link With
South Visuolized

WASHINGTON-Talk of COM
bination of Southern Democrats
and Republicans, with Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower as their presidential
candidate, has set off a flood of
dissertations asserting both the
technical 1mpracticality and the
theological incongrpity of such a
union.
First, it Is commended that the
Republican Party could not change
its name without destroying itself
In its Northern strongholds and the
South never will accept any candi-
date labeled Republican"
Secondly, because racial equality
has been a foundation stone of the
Republican Party since its beginn-
ing, and the South is as segrega-
tion-minded as ever, the proposed
combination inevitably would crash
on that issue.
AS to the. first Of these PROPOSE
tons, mutual support of General
Eisenhower would not necessitate
either surrender Of the Republican
name in the North, or adoption
of that label by the generals
Southern supporters.
The Republican Party could NOM
mate Eisenhower and a convention
of State Rights Democrats also
could. nominate him. Electoral
votes under either label would be
equally potent.
Many Republicans believe their
party is making a mistake by sup
porting the Roosevelt-Truman con-
ception. of federally compelled
racial equality, while opposing con-
centration of power in Washington
as to other matters.

probably back Oliver w. Hill, To-
cal lawyer, for reelection to the
city Council next summer. Mr.. Hill
has already said he will run for
reelection when his term expires.
Both Councilman Hill and the
council owe much to each other.
It was around Mr.. Hilrs candidacy
that the council developed its city
wide program which attracted
many Negroes to the ranks of the
voters who had never exercised
this franchise before. Hills sue
cessful candidacy gave inspiration
to the workers and the man in the
street to rally around the Councils
program.
Though DR.. w. L. Ransome.
president of the Council, failed to
win the Democratic nomination for
a seat in the Virginia House Of
Delegates last August. his candi-
dacy also helped to win more
Negro voters in the city. During
his campaign almost 10000 Me-
groes paid their poll taxes and
registered to vote.
