the hearts and minds oc Negroes
which forebore no bright future of
good race relations. DR.. Howard
further stated that the committee
was sent to see what could he
worked out with the Department
before this condition of abuse ex-
pioded. He further stated that
Negro motorists were more than
willing to cooperate with the De-
partment in its program of Pub
lie Safety, however, this would be
impossible if highway patrolmen
continue to use their badges of
authority as emblems Of tyranny
where Negroes were concerned.
DR.. Howard offered himself,
Rev. Williams, and Miss Jean Kel-
ly, a member of one of the promi-
nent families of Marks, Mississippi
pi, as recent examples of abuse
of certain Highway patrolmen.
Colonel Birdsong gave a vivid
history of his own life as law en-
forcement officer for thirty years.
He stated that the record would
show that it had always been his
policy to give every man fair
break. He said that the Department
Of Public Safety stood on the prin-
ciple of safety and coui tsey.

of race, creed, religion or color is

assured the Committee that the

Negroes could look forw ard to the
same cooperation and treatment as

Howard had only the highest praise
for the reception given the COM

Governor Talmadge agreeing. to
the conference had said he would
"be glad to see you" to Mr.. Me-
Clane. Mr.. Mechanics mission was
"to acquaint the Governor with our
type Of program and to familiarize
him with some of the departments
of our Order" State and city
officials took part in the confer
ence.
Taking the 1853 Grand Lodge to
Atlanta was the brainchild Of
Grand Exalted Ruler Johnson long
before he won election at Atlantic
City in August.
During the conference here the
Grand Exalted Ruler went over the
organization program outlined by
Grand Organizer Herbert E. Jones
Jones Of this city, who had at one
time been candidate for Mr..
Johnson's post this year. Mr. Jones
pledged his unflagging loyalty of
Mr.. Johnson and made the follow
ing public statements:
81 want to thank my many sup
porters and Elkdom for the ac-
claim they have given me for with
drawing my candidacy for Grand
Exalted Ruler at time when con-
| tinuence of that candidacy might
have jeopardized the unity of our
organization.
"My personal sacrifice at this
time has saved our beloved organi-
zation from disintegration and may
have set the stage for a glorious
era Of fraternal activity. We were
at the crossroads at the last con-
vention. This was the first national
convention since we had lost the
stabilizing influence Of our late
Grand Exalted Ruler j. Finley Will
son. There was extreme danger
that we would degenerate into fac
tions and cliques. My action has
averted that danger and the pro-
gram | cherish has a real chance
for development.
In again assuming my duties as
Grand Organizer | promise all
brother Elks that | will use this
office to assist our Grand Exalted
Ruler, Robert H. Johnson, in every
way | can in successfully develop
ing the type Of program we have
envisaged."
Meanwhile, plans were annOunc-
ed for big Elks' gathering Octo-
Der II at La Plata, Md. and a huge
celebration in Philadelphia October
II honoring Grand Exalted Ruler
Johnson. Plans for nationwide
membership drive are nearing com
pletion now, Mr.. Johnson said. The
conference here was the first held

Will NotFon Flames Of Bitterness
Eisenhower Won't Join in Rouehond Tumble 6 P Compoign;
Really Not Seeking Presidency and Is Unooid Of Losing

any Of the currents generated in
Europe by Soviet Russia. When
the general tours the various
capitals Of Europe, as he is now
doing, he does not hesitate to
express an American viewpoint
and to listen carefully to what
the other governments say in
the informal discussions that
develop during his visits.
What Gen. Eisenhower wants
more than anything else is
fairness and balance in the
operation of government. He
will wish to choose men of in
tegrity around him If he should
be selected for the presidency
men who will help clean house
and not just become part of
another kind Of parasitic bu-
reaucracy.
The expressions cleft" and
fright" leave Gen. Eisenhower
cold. He is vehemently op-
posed to extremists on either
side. He thinks that it is more
important to determine what
is right rather than who is
right.
These indexes to the Eisen-
hover attitude are not widely
known as yet, but they will be
before long. The general is by
no means a reticent person. He
talks easily and forthrightly.
His addresses on the two major
occasions when he has speak
ing engagements in the United
States during June will not be
political, because the general
prefers to discuss current ques-
tions in terms of principle. He
is convinced that, in the wild
scramble for position between
factions, the sources of all de-
cent behavior - fundamental
principle and morality-are
often overlooked. Nor is the

Over Close Ties With Conservative Adviser

When Gen. Eisenhower comes
home. the development Of
greatest interest to his many
managers will be the extent
to which he himself seizes the
reins Of his campaign.
The politicians who have put
themselves back of the Eisen-
hover candidacy are committed,
no matter what happens. They
will not balk now at anything
short Of q personal snub or the
kind OF awful blunder the
general. with his tact and ex-
perience, is almost sure not to
make.
What they would like to do
Is to improve their personal
contacts with him. For it is
no secret among them, when
they talk privately. that the
decisions they are currently
carrying out are being cleared
through Gen. Eisenhower's per-
sonal friend and military as
sociate. Gen. Lucius Clay.
Which one dominates In the
EiSenhower-Clay conversations.
THE politicos can't quite tell.
AS Of now, they incline to the
view that Ike defers to Gen.
Clay's Judgment. They do not
criticize that Judgment as such;
they only hope that Ike does
not think politics is too i'm
portant to be entrusted to poll

No one who has 1orked with

charged with not knowing the
score. There has been no COM
plant from other Eisenhower
managers that Gen. Clay is Inn

Some Of them feel his extreme
conservatism in domestic mat
ters Is influencing Gen. Eisen-
hover to take positions to the
right Of Senator Taft and that
this IS not desirable. Senator
Taft is one expert who says Ike
Is rapidly moving to the right
Of Senator Taft.
Should the trend continue,
the liberals probably will be
heard from on the subject Of
Gen. Clay and his influence.
They protested his labor atti-
tudes during the war; they
charged him during the occupa-
ton with not following the ad-

Constantine Brown:

The impending peace con-
tract to be signed sometime
this month between the Con-
federation of German Repub-
lies and the Allies worries Mos
COW more than anything else
in the past. The present need
ling of the Allies, such as the
recent interference with COM
munications between Berlin
and the Western zones, is an
indication of the Muscovite
concern.
The Kremlin realizes that it
cannot create another Korea
by throwing the existing mill
tary strength of Eastern Ger
many against the West. The
IA American, British and
French divisions which stand
guard on the Elbe and the
Rhine are far too strong to
permit q repetition Of the
Soviet'S actions in Korea on
June Is, 1850. Unless Moscow
is willing to start a third world
war right now, it will not risk
ordering the East German bat
talions to cross either into the
western sectors of Berlin or en-
ter the West German territory.
The indications are that the
Kremlin has not yet exhausted
its bag of tricks in the cold
war. The Muscovite dictatorS
still believe that they have ar
excellent chance to prevent a
full rearmament of the NATO
by exploiting the diSsensions be-
tween the various members Of
the coalition and the reaction to
Frances political mistakes in
regard to the Western Germans.
The Russians fear the Ger
man soldier and are even more
aware of his fighting qualities
than we are. They also know
that the German youth, by and
large, is willing to do soldering
again. They also know that
"rache" (revenge) is in the
minds of most Germans. The
peoples of Western Germany

the East in their midst hate the

Russians and want to avenge
themselves. if an opportunity is
offered, against the Red hordes
which destroyed the Reich and
either murdered millions Of Ger
mans in cold blood or killed
them in labor camps.
Many politicians in Western
Germany have learned, seven
years after the collapse of the
Nazis. that the Morgenthau
plan aimed at destroying the
industrial and commercial
strength Of Germany and max
ing it a pastoral state actually
was devised by the Kremlin. 1t
was transmitted to Washington
by the Soviet espionage appara-
tus in the United States which
used its minions to inspire this
plan which had been strongly
opposed by members Of Mr..
Roosevelt's cabinet such as
former Secretaries Hull, Slim
son, Forrestal and others.
In Eastern Germany. which
was placed behind the Iron Cur
tain in 1945, the idea of revenge
is aimed particularly at France
whose policies in the West they
believe to be aimed at keeping
the fatherland weak. The Rus
sian propaganda saying that
Germany cannot possibly hope
to recover her position in the
world because the Big Three
fear the economic competition
in the already shrunken world
markets has been successful.
Also there are many in that por-
ton of the former Reich who
still resent the high-handed
methods of the Muscovites to-
ward the German population in
Eastern Germany as we'll as the
annexation Of East Prussia and
SileSia by the U. S. S. r. and
Poland. But they expect that
Moscow might find it convenient
some day to return the German
provinces given to Poland as a
price for German cooperation
against the West.
In any case the men in the
Kremlin are aware that an in

general of the opinion that the
solution for every problem lies
in passing another law.
AS the time for the national
conventions approaches, it is
amazing to contrast what is
known here to be the true Eisen-
hover position on the coming
battle for the nomination at
Chicago and what is being said
in the United States. If. for
instance, Gen. Eisenhower didn't
intend to fight the Democratic
record and Democratic admin
istration, he never would have
announced that he was a Re-
publican, willing to have his
name voted for N the Republic
can primaries. He could have
had the Democratic Party nom
nation on a platter.
Then there are those who say
the Eisenhower view on current
issues is too abstract. The an
swer to this is that he made
public while at Columbia Uni
versity and will make clear in
the addresses he plans to make
before the convention is held
just what his basic thinking is.
But he considers primarily that
a mans life record and what
he has said heretofore are ample
evidence of his method Of deal
ing with public questions as they
arise
Gen. Eisenhower is not likely
to be drawn into a battle of
words with other candidates, nor
will he do anything to fan the
flames of bitterness between
Republicans. The general is in
good health and in good spirits
and is looking forward to his
return on June to the United
States after this most difficult
and delicate assignment in
Europe.

David Lowrence:

PARIS. May 20.-Ameri-
cans who expect Gen. Eisen-
hover to come back home to
engage in rough-and-tumble
campaign for the Republican
nomination are in for a surprise.
The general has not the slight
est intention Of indulging in
personalities or of submitting
himself to a croSS-examination
on the thousand and one aspects
of Americas problems of today.
The reason is a simple one
the general regards fundamen-
tai principles and the exposi-
ton Of his philosophy as more
important than campaign cross
fire.
1t is well to bear in mind one
thing about Dwight Eisenhower.
He Is really not seeking the
presidency and will not be dis
appointed If he isn't nominated.
He has made himself available
and, II the American people
want him for leadership in the
present-day crisis in the world,
he will devote himself earnestly
to their service in the presi-
dency.
Basically. the Eisenhower ap-
proach is like a breath Of fresh
air. He has no rancor toward
anybody. He doesn't feel COM
mitted to the Truman-Acheson
policies or to anything which
has happened in the past if
fundamental principle and a
dispassionate study of the facts
and circumstances indicate that
a substantial change in q past
policy is desirable.
Gen. Eisenhower is not
wrapped up in Europe to the
exclusion of other parts of the
world. He regards Korea as
just as much a part Of the
global war-the "cold war"-as
