Covering The COP Convention
BY Julius ]. Adams

This sprawlng metropolis beside SHIN
mering Lake Michigan, with its shabby and
unsightly flat buildings on the near south
side and It's magnificent mansions along the
Gold Coast offers the same kind of con-
trast In the personalities Of It's kindly peo-
pie. But the town was In fun bloom for The
Republican National convention over the
past week II was wearing It's best bib and
tucker.
The ramshackle houses were scrubbed
clean and the vast lawns Of the big estates
were trimmed fine for the gay parties that
delighted the delegates and business friends
here for the big doings.
Chicagoans both above and below the
line are much more unsophisticaied than the
folk along the eastern scaboard. But they
are more lovable. They get a genuine thrill
out Of doing something nice for their out-of
town guests. This doesn't apply 90 politics
necessarily And there were some visitors
here who were backing General Eisenhower
who received mighty rough treatment from
The local boys. most of whom were for Taft
from the start.
Among the estimated 10000 visitors
who occupied about 1000 hotel rooms, were
many Negroes some delegates some alter
mates and many. just as there were many
whites. who just came along to rub elbows
with the crowd
The tremendous oui-pouring Of visitors
was something Of a denial Of the argument
that people will stay away from a show if
they can possibly see it on tclevisi0n or hear

has his headquarters as co numerous other
committees and lobby groups.
With such bitter fight as marked the
early days of the convention and the fierce
fight for delegates, there was a potential
big story in any of these places The major
newspapers and wire services simply sent
enough people here to cover. The basement
Of the Conrad Hilton hotel, locale of con-
vention headquarters of the national COM
mittee and of the major candidate, was con-
verted into a communications center from
which millions of words were filed daily by
literally hundreds of reporters.
Trying to get through the lobby of the
Conrad Hilton hotel was like trying to work

They want to put white teachers in colored

cessful candidate to dish out all the politi-
cal plums to the white people, for it is the
white people who pay for the campaign of
the particular candidate And it is also the
white people who pay in the paltry dollars
that the Negro is able to inveigle from the
candidate.
When the Negro develops an interest in
his race and puts civil rights and human dig
nifty above his mercenary tendencies in his
political aspirations, he will discover and con-
vince himself that election time offers
greater opportunities than a few palry
cash dollars.
1t is humiliating when che sees how
easy our leaders are entced into the clutches
of the politicians for the sake of few dol
lars and few hand shakes. Such action on
the part of our leaders puts the race at
great disadvantage. 1t is not known whether
we are going or coming. What is really
needed, and it is the races only solution, is
for the Negro mass to teach the white polti-
ciaG lesson. He needs to be taught that he
can buy few Negro leaders but under no
circumstances can he buy the race and the
races inclinations for equal rights. Irrespec-
tive to what handouts the leaders receive
behind closed doors the Negro Voter is 60
ing to vote his conviction.

FOOD FOR THE MIND

The United States these days is loaded down with
advice from its friends well castigations from
its enemies That is part Of the price to be paid for
democratic world leadership-and when the advice
is good it is light enough burden to bear.
An Indian industriast and statesman, Minoo R.
Masani, recently advised the United States to pay
attention to food for the mind in its foreign
aid. Unfortunately even when it feeds the body he
declared it often starves the mind and SOUL and he
added: You have feast to share and you only give
the scraps
Among the qualities Americans might share with
the East, he suggested, love Of freedom, belief
in the dignity of labor the spirit of adventure gener
osity and 'world-sized mind" Then he said what
this newspaper has frequently asserted:
It is time heard about these life
The world needs technicians engineers
chemists but it also needs teachers leaders,
your social workers, your philosophers.
Such moral and cultural outreaching is neither
imperialistic salesnanship It is not mission
airy activity in the old and sometimes invdous
It is sharing of the fruits Of the mind by which the
gver is enriched well the recipient It is a<recog

Jury Report on U.N. Reds
Held Up Because of
Election, Official Testifies

WASHINGTON, (P)-A Justice
Department official testified yes
terday that a federal grand jury
report on its search for Comnu-
nists in the United Nations was
held up last fall partly because Of
fear "it would be used as a politi-
cal football"
The testimony, to a House sub
committee investigating the de-
partment, was from Roy M. Cohn,
special assistant to Attorney Gen
eral McGranery. Cohn said his
own arguments for releasing the
report in October were over-rid-
den at high-level conference
presided over by McGranery.
The subcommittee is following
up reports that the State and JUS
tice Departments interfered with
the grand jury after its hunt for
US. citizens with Red leanings
who were in the hire of the U.N.

kilt or tartan, but this encouraged such
rebellious spirit in the Highlands that the
law was repealed in 1882. Since then, the
typical Scots attire has been in fashion not
only for hunting and other sports, but even
for formal weddings, balls and at court.
The characteristic checked material called
tartan-breacan, in old Gaelc-has been
recognized since medieval times as being
distinctively Scottish type of design. At
first the number of 'colors signifed only the
importance of the wearer, but gradually
the different patterns became associated
with districts or families under the Scottish
clan system.
Now, $50 different tartans are on file with
the Edinburgh firm which, by appointment,
serves as tailors and kiltmakers to Britain's
royal family. AS for the price, serviceable
kilt will cost from about $3.50 (s7) up to
$50 and more. Ordinarily, such prices may
make many thrifty Scotsman vince, but
not when national pride is involved.

THE CULT OF THE KILT

THROUGH the Scotsmans kilt has been
l. subject of a good many jokes, it is
one form of dress that has stoutly resisted
both the whims of fashion and the barbs
of jest While never taking root in the
United States, the kilt has existed in its
present form for 800 years in Scotland and
is today still quite popular.
Not that the Scots have any monopoly
on this form of dresS-a variation of it is
worn in Greece and 1t was the customary
male attire of the ancient Egyptians and
many other Mediterranean peoples. But
while most of the northern races wore
trousers even in ancient times, the wet
heather of the Highlands finally led Scots
men to adopt the shorter form-a choice
that was aided and encouraged by national ;
pride and political history in the years of
friction between Scotland and England. In
fact, the English, after defeating Scotlands
Bonnie Charlie in the midl8th century,
passed an act forbidding the wearing of

A lot is a lot is a lot.

Or is it?
Look carefully, and you'll see
that lots come in all sizes,
shapes and elevations. Some
are level. Others slope down
from the street. Still others
rise steeply.
One lot can make a low-slung
house look higher than it really
is. Another can make even a
three-story house look under
nourished and pygmy-like.
So watch that lot if you have
a dream house in mind. Be-
cause the wrong lot can turn
your dream house into a night
mare.
That's the reason architects
don't usually start to design a
house until they've studied the
site.
How large is it? Is it square,
pie-shaped, rectangular? Wood
ed, or bare of trees? Does it
have a view that is good? No
view at all?
Today's house was designed
for a most unusual lot-a lot
sunken % feet below street level
at it's lowest point. Owners are
Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis Mulitz. The
house is located at 1895 Univer-
sity terrace. Architect was J..
P. Trouchaud.
Handicap Becomes Asset.
Handled differently, the site
of this house could have been a
liability. AS it is, the house is
SO designed and placed that the
low site has BECOME a towering
asset. The high bank on the
street side contributes greatly to
the house, terraces and garden
