Negro Support Poses
Question Of Shift in
Eisenhower S Views
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

DENVER, Aug. reimbursement
of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower IS
presidential candidacy by a group
of Republican Negro leaders posed
"a big question today-whether he
plans to change his stand regard
ing civil rights.
Gen. Eisenhower's position on
civil rights has been that the mat
ter should be left mainly to the
States.
The delegation, favoring a much
stronger stand, called at the gen.
erals headquarters yesterday. 1t
was led by Bishop D. Ward Nichols
of New York, presiding prelate of
the first Episcopal District of the
African Methodist Episcopal
Church.
Promises Immediate Steps.
Bishop Nichols said Gen. Eisen-
hover told the delegation that
discriminatory practices in our
Nations Capital were disgraceful." /"
The general promised that II
elected he would take immediate
steps to end such practices, Bish-
op Nichols added.
In the delegation was Mrs
Ruth Mueller of Washington, ma
tional director of the National
Council of Negro Women.
Bishop Nichols said he and the
other members of the delegation
are Republicans and have been in
the past. and added that the group
represented organizations with a
membership of 3 million persons
He said. however, that those in
the delegation were speaking only
for themselves.
After the conference with Gen
Eisenhower. the bishop issued q
statement saying in part:
I'VE are convinced that the
election of Gen. Eisenhower in
November will greatly advance
civil rights progress in America. /.
Impressed by Statement.
"In all fairness to our position
we must point out that the gen.
eral told me he is not yet willing
to concede that the only solu.
tion to civil rights is through 9
compulsory Federal law.
He was impressed. however, by
the statement issued yesterday
Sunday by 16 Republican lead:
erS. calling for a compulsory
FEPC which would not conflict
with effective State action in this
field, and he promised he would
carefully study that statement
Among the sponsors of the state
ment, issued in Washington, was
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge OF
Massachusetts,, who managed Gen
Eisenhower's campaign for the
presidential nomination and who
now is chairman Of his campaign
advisory committee.
The statement said a Republi-
can victory in November would
hasten enactment OF a Federal
law aimed at preventing racial
and other discrimination In hiring
and firing.
Hits Democrats Stand.
Bishop Nichols said at news
conference that he is dissatisfied
with the civil rights plank the
Democrats adopted at their ma
tional convention last month. AND
Ihe added:
II think Truman has given q
deal Of lip service on the civil
rights issue. I think, for one thing
The could have ended discrimina.

7 axe My Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby

The words "pleat, plait," and
plat" cause much confusion. The
words are apparently variations of
the Latin plicare, ito fold together. :"
They have about the same meaning,
generally, but "pleat" is preferred
for folds in cloth, and "plait" or
plat" is preferred for a braid, as
of hair, or some other material:
And when they had plated a
crown of thorns they put it upon
his head Matt. xvii: %.
In best usage the following differ
ences in pronunciation should be
observed:
Pleat: pleet.
Plait: plate to rhyme with mate,
fate"
Plat: plat, to rhyme with mat"
Subtle and subtitle are inter-
lchangeable in meaning, but they
differ in pronunciation. In subtle
the %" is always silent, thus:
lSUH-t1. In subtitle, the "b" is
sounded, as: SUB-till.
The words gantlet and gauntlet
should not be confused. although
they are pronounced alike, thus:
GAWNT-let.
"Gantlet" is from the Swedish
Igatloop, which expresses the idea
lof running down a narrow road or
lane. Running the gantlet was a
form of military punishment in
which the victim was forced to run
between two lines of soldiers who
fiogged him with their belts.
American Indians used knives and
clubs. Gauntlet" is from the
French gantelet. originally desig-
mating a mailed glove. Today a
gauntlet is a glove that extends
above the wrist.
The "g" in the word orgy is pro-
nounced like a." Say: AWR- -jee.
It is from the Latin orgia, moe
turnaT festivals in honor Of Bac-
chus." The original orgies, while
OF a religious nature, were marked
by wild and drunken revelry, hence
the modern meaning excessive in
Idulgence; q frenzied carousal."

taxes. I'd be doing the extra work
for practically nothing. So I'm
saving my energy and forgetting
it," Had the tax rate on his income
not been so prohibitive, he would
have happily taken on the addi-
tional job, thus earned more and
thus paid more taxes. Both he and
the United States Treasury would
have been winners.
Another danger is that this level
of taxes truly will make us, as Will
Rogers once said. a nation of liars.
It's becoming common practice for
taxpayers to pad their deductions,
exemptions, expense accounts, con-
tributions, ETC., in order to slash
their taxes to the lowest they dare.
Tax cheating is the No. racket in
America today. A conservative es-
innate is that evasion runs to at
least 81 billion year and an in
formed tax sleuth told me fatty,
double every figure on chiseling,
triple some and you'll be nearer
the truth" OF 52,OOO,OOO tax re-
turns filed in a recent year, a
survey disclosed 100000 lin
error" a ratio of more than one
out of every four. And nine times
out of 10, the errors were in favor
of the taxpayer.
FORECAST: Under the present
loW, you and I are slated to get tax
cut of around 10 per cent on Deem
Der 81, 1858 and there's a good
chance veil get q cut before that.
Ofhond, 10 per cent may appear
minor but if you're in the $1,000
to $1,000 income bracket, the cut
might reduce your tax bill BY more
than 500 year - depending on
distribution Of the cat. If you're tn
the $4,000 to $4,000 bracket, it
might slash your bill by more than
$500 q year. With taxes Oh some

a married man with $4,000 of
taxable income, you're working
quarter of your time for the federal
tax collector.
And as the income level rises,
the tax rate skyrockets until, in
the words of one of the nations
leading tax experts, 1.-THE danger is
that if these tax rates are main
tanned for any length of time,
they'll destroy the incentive of the
very men and women who should
be our leaders. The ones who have
the brains and drive so essential to
our development as a country are
simply not interested in working
to their limit because they can't
keep enough of their earnings to
make the effort seem worthwhile
to them"
This may sound overstated,
but just in my own circle of ac-
quaintances, I've come across
enough examples of this boomer
ang recently to recognize the dan
ger. A few days ago, for instance, a
friend told me he had turned down

government has demanded we pay
a2O-per-cent tax whenever we buy
such luxuries or semi-luxuries as
furs, luggage, jewelry, etc. During
the war years, when the patriotic
emotion was strongest, most
Americans paid the tax without
too much grumbling. Now, though,
there's a sickening trend toward
evasion. One top coat manufac-
tmer estimates that in New York
City, the fur center of the nation,
'the tar is avoided in so per cent of
the transactions in frrs"! He adds,
People are getting holder and
holder in their refusal to pay the
tax. I'm beginning to think I'm
crazy even to try to be honest"
This may seem an exaggeration
but there's no doubt that more
and more normally respectable
citizens are seeking ways to duck
the 20-per-cent taxes, with the re-
suit that legitimate businessmen
are being frightfully squeezed,
cheating is spreading and the gov
eminent is losing revenue. On a
social, moral and financial basis,
these taxes are becoming suspect.
FORECAST: Bills already hare
been introduced into Congress to cut
back the tax rate. Strictly for .f'son-
ci0l reasons If for no others the
