Howard Republicans Seeking Answe
To Question Can a State Outlaw
Party Organization Recognized
By National Committee
State Republican Leaders Attend
Meeting Here Last Week

The Regular Republican Organi-
cation of Mississippi, headed by
Perry W. Howard, as National
Committeeman for Mississippi, and
Mrs. Mary c. Booze, as National
Committee-woman is now seeking
an answer to the question can the
State Legislature by the enact
ment of a law make illegal a
Party organization within the State
Confirmed and recognized as legal
ly representing the Party by its
National Committee.
The organization headed by
Howard has been in contest with
opposing groups claiming the right
to represent the Republican Party
in the state for the past thirty
years both in the state and federal
courts and before the National Re-
publican Committee.
In every contest both in the
courts and before the National
Committee the Howard group has
been recognized as the legal Re.
publican organization of the state
The Howard Republicans have
been forced to seek an answer to
the above question as a result OF
the enactment of law by the rec
ent state Legislature which says
that only one group can use the
name of National Party in the
state.
Taking advantage of the oppor
tunity the law gave regarding reg.
istration, the Lilly-White group
headed by Ex-Nebraska Governor
George L. Sheldon, archfoe of thu
Howard group was the first t.
register and is now claiming to b.
the legal Republican Party of Mis-

Russia Lends Hand In Attempt To

ECONOMIC BLOW HARD ON ENGLAND
A j SIGGINSl
(BY A. ]. SIGGINS)

LONDON (ANP) Lord Kill
learn, formerly high commissioner
for Southwest Asia and Britain's
most experienced authority on
eastern and middle eastern affairs
told the House of Lords last week
that the situation in Malaga was
very grave.
On Thursday, Minister of Par
lament L. d. Summons told the
House of Commons that the situa-
ton in Malaga was getting worse
instead of better. He said, "The
bandits have killed twice as many
of the security forces as we killed
TT members of the security
force as against 80 bandits"
And this, after the whole coun-
try had been organized in an in
tensive anti-bandit hunt
American members of recent
commission to Malay promised aid
everything short of guns-with-
IN so days; so the bandits are nat
urally anxious to finish the job
before American aid comes.
British critics complain that the
bandits in Malaga received Com
munist aid. Communists invite
attention to the British and Amer
lean aid furnished Chang Kai
Shek, Burmese rebels and others
in Asia.
But nobody takes much notice
nowadays of criticism. There is
a color war on and it is getting
hotter every day! 1t does not mat
ter where help comes from, so long
as white people are eventually
forced to quit the lands of colored
people-so all colored folk say.
The French in Wet Nam are
equally hard pressed and are APP
pealing to Britain for arms. 1t
is reported that Wet Mimi forces
had been receiving arms from Chi
cago Communists and that Chinese
regular officers, with a Russian
adviser, had arrived at Yen Mini
regional headquarters, near the
Wet Nam border.
And there is growing concen-

bitter words for what he terms

takes of the war;
And of Casino:
IT say that the bombing Of the
abbey was a mistake. I said at
the time there was no evidence
that the Germans were using the
abbey for military purposes. I say
now that there is irrefutable evil
dence that no German soldier, ex-
cept emissaries, was ever inside

Aerial bombardment:
Although it is not often under

building or a town by aerial bonn
