LONDON, Feb. 16.-Win-
ston Churchill was so an
noyed today with rumor he
was dead that he issued
formal statement denying it.
II am informed from many
quarters" the 75-year-old
Conservative Party leader
said. that a rumor has been
put out that I died this morn
ing. This is quite untrue.
ut is, however, a good
sample of the whispering
campaign which is being set
on foot. 1t would have been
more artistic to keep this one
for polling day." =
The rumor of his death was
so widespread that newspaper
Switchboards were jammed
with callers asking informa-

a Republican district for 81 years.
Until Massachusetts, is redistrict-
ed, there's not much we can do
about that situation. The state
has been jerrymandered over the
years by the Republicans"
The President speaks from
1890 to II o'clock tonight on a
four chain Nation wide radio
hookup and, according to Boyle.
he is ready to call for full speed
ahead on the Fair Deal program
as the party prepares to go to the
people for a new Endorsement of
policy.
That the President will call for
an aggressive drive to build up
Democratic majorities in both
Senate and House is assured in
the light of his conferences with
early arrivals for the dinner. The
visiting Democratic leaders have
been advised that Mr.. Truman
intends to take the lead in this
direction and stump the country
as he did two years ago when he
made about $40 speeches over a
80, ,000-mile route.
$520.0OO to Be Raised.
Tonights dinner nominal!y will
be the annual Jefferson-Jackson
celebration honoring the founders
of the Democratic Party. 1t will
have a more realistic touch, how
ever, as the 5000 diners-a SELL
out - will contribute at least
$520,O0O to the campaign treasury.
The dinner is having its
counterparts in other parts of the
country on scattered dates and at
a lowered tariff.
Featuring f1let mignon and the
customary liquid courses, 1t con-
trasts sharply with the chicken
in-the-box affair that the Repub-
licanS held at 81 a head to note
Lincoln's birthday.
1t is being held under one roof
for the first time, earlier affairs
having been divided between the
Mayflower and the Carlton. The
facilities of those two hotels have
been enlisted for this occasion;
the food will be trucked to the
Armory in charcoal-heated con-
tainers. Five hundred walters
with IS captains will serve it, on
tables covered with red, white and
blue cloths.
Preceding the President on the
speaking platform will be Vice
President Barkley, House Speaker
Rayburn and Mrs. Georgia Neese
Clark, United States Treasurer
There also will be an entertain
ment program. CHS and NBC will
handle the television.
The co-chairmen are Charles
Luckman, former head of Lever
Brothers and Mrs. Max Gardner,
whose late husband long was
power in the Democratic party.

"In fact, l have decided to
postpone my vacation until after
the primary election to make sure
my court order is carried out" he
revealed.
South Carolina elections face
contempt of court charges if they
do not permit Negroes to regis
ter and vote in the Democratic
primary next week.
AS to judges who permit rae
ism to hand down their decisions,
the man from South Carolina had
this to say: "Any judge influence
ed by race prejudice, religious
hate or racial superiority is a
traitor to the U. S. Constitution,
a traitor to his country, and a
traitor to human decency."
That statement brought thund-
erous applause from the audience.
Chicago judges have been accused
Of Dixie-like prejudices in hand
ing, down decisions involving
racial flareups on the Southside
housing front over the past four
years.
Both the jurist and his wife
said they did not see themselves
as martyrs, but that they under
stood in advance that progressive
the South cannot be made without
some sacrifice.

Negroes Protest
BY James B. LaFourche

NEW ORLEANS (ANP) Negro
civic and political organizations
we're last week geared to the mt
degree when they protested to
Washington the attempt being
made here to have named as u. S.
district attorney, for the Eastern
District of Louisiana, Atty. Arthur
A. de la Houssaye, chairman of
the "white league"
Spearheading the opposition are
Dave A. Dennis, president Of the
General Longshore Workers (A-
FL), Local No. 1419; Edward
Ford, Grand Master, the G. U. Of
O. D.; the NAACP and other in
terested groups.
Letters have been mailed to
Pres. Truman, Atty. Gen. Nc
Grath, and Cong Adam c. Po-

Over a period of years, the
ceremonies have dwarfed into in
significance and only a few Ne
gophobists, known for their racial
prejudices, are attempting to
keep alive the bitter embers.
Last Sept. Ia at a famous
French Quarter rendezvous here,
Mr.. de la Houssaye presided over
a White league meeting. The prin-
+ cipal speaker onthe occasion was
ex-Gov. Frank M. Dixon of Ala
bama, who said:

back the clock of human progress
with the amazing disregard of the
lessons of the past. They have
ressurected the doctrine, thank
fully buried by (our forefathers)
many years ago, that government
is wise, all-seeing, fatherly in it's
regard for the people and that it
can and must be trusted to guide
support and control it's subjects.
Showing his further disgust for
the Truman administration, the
speaker urged the government to
return to what he called a con-
cept of the founders of this
country that-"the federal govern
ment should be confined to narrow
limits" and "the dead hand of
bureaucracy should never con-
troll"
A second speaker, Cong F. Ed
ward Herbert said: cts one of
history's tragedies that we are
gathered here at a time when the
ideals for which the men of 1874
fought, m being viciously attack
ed again on all fronts"
Other guests at the meeting
were Sam H. Jones, former gov
ernor of Louisiana; w. W.
Wright, Jackson, Miss, vice chair
man of thenational States Rights
committee; w. H. Little Eva"

mocratic nationally committeeman
and a leader inthe States Fighters

ton Bureau, and John V. Barr, a

Philly Children
In Panic As
Policeman Battles
With BraWler

PHILADELPHIA (ANP)- A
fight between a pedestrian and a
policeman endangered the lives of
hundreds of school children last
wee. The officer shot the man
twice at 44th and Aspen sts.,
where the Martha Washington
school is located.
Patrolman John r. Garden,
knwn to the children on his beat
as "Too-tight" because of his
strictness, was stationed at the in
tersection. Alfred Sheppard, %,
together with two women com
panions attempted to cross the in
tersection against the directions
of the officer.
Witnesses say that when h e
police officer warned Sheppard
against crossing until the proper
signal was given, Sheppard be-
came incensed. Without warning,
it is reported, he rushed the of
ficer bowling him to the ground
and proceeded to pummel him
with his fists.
The scene was described by wit
nesses as being a bedlam of con-
fusinon as school children crowd
ed around the two men. Garden
warned the children to stand back
as he pulled his revolver.
When Sheppard saw the action,
Garden says he made a desperate
attempt to wrest it from the po-
liceman, who evaded and fired.
Sheppard was struck in the hand
and in the leg.
Csarges of assault and battery
and disorderly conduct are to be
lodged against the man by police
authorities. He is not seriously
injured.

Cardinals fighting Judge J.. Wat
les Waring was treated like poi
son ivy by Chicago's 101 judges
here last week.
Every judge residing in Cook
County was given a special invita-
ton to attend a luncheon honor
ing the man who banned the all
white primary in South Carolina.
Not a single one showed up.
Among the absent were the city's
two Negro municipal court judi
ges.
Judge Waring took the snub
good-naturedly. cts much worse
back home" he chuckled. "Not a
single white neighbor, including
relatives, or fellow judge, has visit
ed my home in Charleston since
the all-white primary was ban
ned" he unused.
However, the cold shoulder
treatment embarrassed leaders of
the Cook County Bar association
which embraces the city's Negro
lawyers : : and the local Chapter
of the National Lawyers guild.
The two groups sponsored the
luncheon. Judge Waring is a
prominent member Of the guild.
"We gave this luncheon to show
this great man that he does have
friends and supporters among
members of his profession in the
North" said Atty. Sidney A.
Jones Jr., president of the Ne
gro bar group. Atty. Jones said
a few judges had written mice
letters" explaining why they could
not make the luncheon, but he
couldn't explain the rest. "All l
know is they were invited, and
the affair was given in a down.
town hotel, which should have
made it convent for some of them
to attend" he added.
Regardless, 200 leading Negro
and white lawyers went on with
the luncheon and heard the Dixie
progressive blast the "gradual'
approach to the c question.
Later, he addressed 1000 on
Chicago's Southside at Tabernacle
Baptist church, where he was in
duced by Urban league Secretary
Sidney Williams, a fellow South
Carolinian.
The 69-year-old judge told his
Negro audience "~segregation
never will be broken down
through lectures and sermons"
and that "Negroes in the north
could do more to help us in the
Southland"
IT believe in force" he stress
ed. "Not necessarily the force OF
bayonets and machine guns, but
