proposed that Egypt sign a non

Alabama Runoff TODAY
Centers on 7 Seats
OF Party Committee
BY the Associated Press

MONTGOMERY, Ala, May
30.-Races for seven seats on the
State Democratic Executive Com
mittee took the lions share of
attention today in Alabama's s run
off primary.
Control of those seven seats may
mean control of party machinery
in Alabama for the next four years
and how the State votes in the
1852 presidential election. But
States Rights candidates, who are
pledged to withhold Alabama
support from any presidential
candidate nominated on a civil
rights platform, must capture six
of the seven seats to be considered
in the running.
The vote was expected to be far
below the record 100000 turnout
for the May 2 primary.
Five Seats in Sixth District.
Five of the seven committee
seats fought over by both States
Fighters and loyalists are from
the Sixth Congressional District.
The other two are from the ninth.
The outcome of committee races
from two other districts will not
affect control of the committee.
Only States Fighters are running
for the two seats left from the
fourth district and only loyalists
for the four from the fifth.
Party control was tossed into
the runoff picture last week when
the election of four loyalists from
the third district in the first pri-
mary was contested by States
Fighters.
Representative to Be Chosen.
If the contests are thrown out,
Loyalists will control the commit
tee regardless of the outcome of
today's vote since they won SO
seats in the first primary to 26
for States Fighters and one for
a candidate who isn't committed.
But if the contests are upheld
and the four places go to States
Fighters, Loyalists must elect at
least two candidates today to hold
a numerical edge over their op-
position.
A Representative in Congress
also will be nominated from the
4th District. Kenneth Roberts of
Admission, who led the first prim-
ary, and Wilbur Nolen, Clay
County probate judge, are the
contestants.

TWO APPROACHES

Within the last week the press of the nation has given prominent space to two announcements of scientific discoveriesif that term be applied the import of which can not be known for some time. The is Alfred Einsteins advancement of the Generalized Theory of Gravtaton and the other is finding of fungi in cells from pr. Irene Diller, zoologist from Philadelphia.
 The only point should like to make is that these scientists reached their goals by different paths Or perhaps should say that they used con- trastng methods of approaching the truth. pr Fin stein the nationalist By mahematc logic too ab- sract to be interpreted by any other symbols he has proposed theory, the truth of which only be borne out by the behavior of certain natural phenomena some years hence. He has said in effect, This is what I hold the Universe to mean, but do not know yet whether it is true'
 Dr. Diller, on the other hand, has arrived at a certain truth by experimental methods namely that there are fungi in cancer cells. She has doubt as to that At the time, neither she any one else at present explain what this discovery means. There you have it. The one scientist has pro- pagated a theory the truth of which is still to be established The other has up with estab- shed fact for which meaning must be found.

and unity ever since-in world where freedom to worship is fast becoming a rare privilege.
 Though this country was found- ed on the principle of religious freedom, the enemies of religion have now reached a new low. have in my hands two letters being circulated in the mailS-bearing false signatures and purported tc have been written by Catholic of- ficials, attacking Protestants. These letters are so fanatical and pre- posterous that they should be cas- fly recognizable as fakes. And il any of you should receive such letters signed by Monica O'Toole McNoonan or Francis Xavier o. Toole,' attacking Protestants, please remember that the letters are forg- ed by perverted propagandists try ing to undermine mems faith in each other.
 This is the old, contemplate pattern of the whispering campaign, the anonymous letter, the Scurrilous pamphlet; just the opposite of the Great Teacher who cautioned us to love our neighbor. Warped minds that promote bigotry among people are as deadly as cancer. as con- tagious as the common cold. We must beware of false prophets and their poison pens.
 Such bigotry happened in Ger many, and is happening now behind the Iron Curtain. But in this coua- try never must it be said that the Swastika CT the Hammer and Sickle are stronger than the Cross of Calvary.
 Now it may be simpler to build a hydrogen bomb than overcome deep-rooted prejudice. But it is more important to overcome that prejudice than it is to build the hydrogen bomb.
