Hennings Calls Effort to Hide
Data on Book Ban IndefensibIe

Senator HenningS, Democrat,
of Missouri, today charged that
State Department efforts to con-
ceal information about books
being purged from its overseas
libraries are "both foolish and
indefensible."
In a letter to Secretary Of
State Dulles, Senator Hennings
renewed a demand he made a
week ago for the State Depart
ment to make public:
/. The standards used to de-
termine the suitability of a book
for overseas use.
2. The directive or directives
which set forth administration
policy on the overseas library
purge.
3. A list of books that have
been or are to be removed from
the shelves Of each overseas
library.
Dulles Drafted Order.
II have been patiently await
ing the formal release of such
information or some statement
from you explaining why this
should not be done," the Senator
wrote. $50 far, the only word

view. and State Department off,

The Senator's letter was made
public after the House Govern
ment Operations Committee re-
ceived testimony yesterday that
the order directing removal of
books by Communists and fell
low travellers from overseas Ii
braries was drafted by Secretary
Dulles himself.
Martin Merson, chief consult
ant to DR.. Robert L. johnson,
head of the International Infor-
nation Administration, told the
committee that Mr.. Dulles spent
many hours" working on the
order. He said the Secretary,
through no fault of his own,
lacked sufficient background" to
prepare what was essentially an
operating directive"
HenningS Is IrOnic.
In an ironic vein, Senator
Hennings said he was pleased to
learn from a New York Times
survey that books by such au-
thors as Hawthorne. Emerson
and Thoreau were on the ap-
proved list in some of the over
seas libraries. He added that he
was especially pleased to see that
Mark Twain also was cleared as

RCA Reopens Fight
For Color ~ System
Present Sets Can Use
BY the Asseciated Press

Radio Corp. of America and
the National Broadcasting Co.
today reopened the fight to get
Government approval for a COM
patible color television system.
This is a system in which color
telecastS could ais ODE received in
black and white by present TV
sets, without need of any adapta-
ton.
In a 697-page petition filed
with the Federal Communications
Commission. RCA and its NBC
affiliate contended it is essentia,
to have a color casting plan
which will preserve the public's
investment in TV receivers now
in use.
Extra Equipment Needed.
The only color casting system
now having FEC approval is that
of Columbia Broadcasting Sys-
tenn, whose signals cannot be
picked up either in color or black
and white by receivers now in
use without the purchase of ad-
ditional equipment.
The CHS system was approved
by FEC in 1850, when the COM
mission rejected the competing
color plan developed by RCA.
In asking the FEC to now re-
verse itself. David Sarnof, RCA
board chairman, said in a state
ment that RCA and NBC are
prepared to invest as much as
SIS million during color tele-
Visions Introductory year to
establish this new service on a
solid foundation"
SIS Million Spent on System.
He added that RCA already
has spent some $25 million in
developing its compatible color
system for general commercial
use.
The petition said that if the
commission will approve the RCA
plan by the end of this summer,
the company is prepared to start
pilot production" Of color re-
ceivers by the spring of 1854.
The petition estimated that
the first color sets will sell at
prices ranging from $500 to ST.
600 but added that when mass
production is reached, these
prices will be substantially re-
duced."
Ready With Network.
Mr.. Sarnoff said NBC is pre-
pared to go into color television
broadcasts and that Al indepen-
dent stations afhliated with that
network already have agreed to

University Women
Hear Gov. Lodge LIST
Bipartisan Rules
BY the Asseeiassd Press

MINNEAPOLIS, June 25.-
Four requirements for successful
bipartisanship in government
were listed today by Gov. John
Lodge of Connecticut for dele
gates to the national convention
Of the American Association of
University Women (AAUW).
Sharing the platform with
the Republican Governor on the
international relations program
was Senator Hubert Humphrey.
Democrat, of Minnesota, who
gave five recommendations for
positive action" by the United
States in accepting the chal-
lenge of world leadership.
Lists Requirements.
In his prepared speech Gov.
Lodge listed these requirements
for successful bipartisanship:
The dominant leadership must
in it's formulation of policy be
willing to seek with sincerity the
help Of the minority.
The leadership of the minority
must. in it's turn, be willing to
"forego the safer pleasures of
partisanship in favor of the pains
and risks Of bipartisan cooper
ation."'
The minority party must be
large enough and must possess
sufficient talent to make its par
ticipation meaningful.
Senator Humphrey said
America must accept the chal-
lenge Of leadership by "assum-
ing the initiative in the battle
of ideas and strength between
the free world and the Com
munist world.
"Our chief concern today
should be that as a Nation, we
are losing that initiative"
Equal Rights Action.
Late Wednesday the AAUW
delegates voted themselves out
of any stand, at least for the
time being, on the proposed
constitutional amendment pro-
viding equal rights for women.
The association had always
been in favor of equal rights, but
had opposed the amendment on
the grounds that it was not the
best means for securing such
equality.
The AAUW since 1947 had op-
posed the amendment unless it
provided for "the health, safety
and general welfare of women"
After substituting their earlier
stand for a resolution of "in-
Edorsement and active support of
a constitutional amendment
which provides that equality of
rights under the law shall not
be denied or abridged on account
of SEX" the delegates a few
minutes later voted down the
substitute resolution.
The subject cannot be revived,
according to bylaws of the asso-
citation. until the next convention
in 1855. But several convention
leaders said they hoped to find
parliamentary loopholes" to
bring the matter up again before
the convention closes Friday
evening.

Presbyferians Study
Plan 10 Unite Ranks
But See Uphill Fight
BY the Assoeioied Press

NEW YORK, June 25.-Church
unity moves, afoot today in the
ranks of a dozen Protestant de-
nominations, have blossomed into
a working plan for American
PreSbyterians.
They've started along the road
toward unification.
But. like numerous other
church bodies that are making
tentative excursions along that
present-day busy highway, they
concede that uphill pulls lie
ahead.
If the plan succeeds. however,
it will be the biggest sealing of a
historic church split since North
ern and Southern Methodists set
the precedent by joining forces
in 1899.
Northern Leader Is Hopeful.
We're all hopeful" said DR..
John A. Mackay, president of
Princeton Theological Seminary
and moderator of the Presby-
terian Church in the u. S. A.
(Northern).
But there is strong opposition
in the South.
However, the Rev. Frank w.
Price of Richmond, Va. modera-
tor of the Southern church, pre-
dicted the merger plan will win
out. despite strong opposition.
II we fail to achieve unity at
this favorable opportunity" he
said. "it may be many years be-
fore another attempt is made"
Branches Involved.
Steps already taken by the two
bodies, as well as a third branch,
the United Presbyterians, have
brought them to the forefront
of a wide. variform movement
to heal riffs in divided Profess
tantiSm.
During the last 80 days, the
three Presbyterian bodies pro-
jected a merger which would

RCA said that if it is given a
go-ahead on color, its inventions
in this field will be made avail

i cam readily understand, Mr..
Secretary. your reluctance to
make public the directives your
department has issued on this
subject" Senator Hennings con-
tinued. From what the news
papers have already said about
them and from what your aides
told the House Government Op-
erations Committee yesterday, I,
too, would hesitate to release
them.
"But as I pointed out to you in
my earlier letter, the confusion
over their contents has reached
the point of being ridiculous.
Now that Mark Twain and
Thoreau are cleared the public
will wait expectantly for the next
episode in this literary comedy
to unfold. While the indisput-
able facts about book purging'
are unearthed and reported by
correspondents overseas, contin-
ued efforts of the State Depart
ment to conceal the information
and the directives here at home
are both foolish and indefensi-
ble."
Discharge of Employees.
Senator Hennings said press
reports indicate that there will
be a move in some quarters to
make scapegoats of individual
State Department employees who
may have removed some vol
umes that "the most ardent
burgers do not find offensive. "
and added:
Before this happens, it would
seem to be only fair, to release
these directives so that the dis
charge of State Department per-
sonnel, which appears imminent,
may be examined by an informed
public in the full light of day."
In his testimony about Secre-
tary Dulles directive yesterday,
Mr.. Merson said:
ANY one who examines that
directive fairly will find it is an
honest attempt to clean out the
books that should not be in
there" He added. however, that
it left up to "188 libraries and
1873 librarians" the job of deter
mining what is a Communist,
what is a fellow-traveler."
Mr.. Merson said that there
is no list" Of forbidden authors.
The whole matter. he said, has
been exaggerated until I'VE are
in an almost impossible situa-
ton" which has brought great
discredit to this administration
and to this country"
Mr.. Merson was accompanied
by DR.. Johnson, who did not OBJ
ject to his testimony. They
were called by the committee to
discuss the Presidents plan to
create a new centralized infor-
nation setup.

NAACP Declares About
War On Segregation

ST. LOUIS-(ANP)-An all
out war was declared on all as
poets of segregation in American
life by the NAACP at its annual
meeting here last week in Kiel

Walter White, executive Secre-
tary of the NAACP, issued
statement calling for total inte-
grafton, thus abandoning the
groups support of equal but sep
arate Accommodations.
Some 800 delegates and visitors
attended the convention, and heard
Charming H. Tobias, chairman of
the NAACP board of directors,
deliver the keynote address.
A specific object of the groups
campaign to erase segregation
from America life will be facili-
ties offered Negroes at railroad
stations in the South.
A petition challenging the ex-
istence of separate facilities at
these stations will be filed with
Lle Interstate AOlAiIhSASS SOth
mission within the next four
weeks.

URGES NEGROES TO BECOME
HOME OWNERS
Paul Williams, noted architect
of California, received the 3a.h
Spingarn Medal Award at the
closing rally of the NAACP con-
vention in Kiel Auditorium. In
his acceptance speech, Williams
urged Negroes to become home
owners as a means of erasing
any stigma of second class citizen
ship. Among other things, he said:

mess activities, such as produce
farming, ownership of restaurants,
laundry specialists, and even
"Various minority groups are
often renowned Tor different bus
owners of a certain brand Of au-
tomobile.
Wouldn't it be great to be
known as the minority g up
which has the greatest percen-
tage of home owners? This we
can do. This will automatically
erase any stigma of second class
citizenship. This will make us
tax-paying citizens with voice"
The 44rn annual convention also
said the NAACP plans attacks on
segregation in housing, education,
employment and public accomo-
dations, such as restaurant and
hotels.
In commenting on the proposed
fight on segregation in housing,
MaShal said the Fifth and l4th
amendment to the U. S. A. Con-
stitution will be invoked in court
actions.
On the issue of employment,
the NAACP counsel said his staff
had a theory by which the assoc
iation could force fair employ
ment in the absence of a Federal
Fair Employment Practices Act.
Any action on segregation in
schools will generally be delayed
until the United States Supreme
court decides on the five cases
now pending before 1t, he said.
The cases are scheduled to be
reargued starting October IL.
DR.. Tobias, in his keynote adj
dress, said fight for Negro rights
must be seen in terms of a world
wide struggle.
We must see the fight for Ne
Americans as past Of a world
struggle for freedom" he said.
world tensions are such that the
United States as the leading ma
ton in the free world cannot af-
ford the luxury Of race diScrim-
nation"
DR.. Tobias, a former alternate
delegate to the UN, then out
lined a 10-year program which
he hopes will eliminate segrega-
ton from the American scene.
His purpose is to have the pro-
gram completed in time for the

patton Proclamation.

Police Chief Arrested In
Death OF Alachua, Fla. Negro

ALACHUA, Fla. - (IP) The
chief of police in this small Ala
chua County town, has been ar
rested in connection with the
death of a Negro citizen, it was
reported late last Tuesday by the
Sheriff's office.
Robert P. Owens, the police
chief has been charged with muir
der in the death of Frank john
son, 43, whose body was found
Sunday morning in the weeds
near a jock a few miles south of
this city.
Sheriff Frank P. Seton at
Gainesville said he had signed the
affidavit on which Owens was ar
rested and jailed last Monday
night. No date of hearing or bond
had been set at that time.
At first, Sexton said, it was
thought that bruises and wounds
in Johnson's neck and head had
been caused by bullets. An au-
topsy, however, revealed that
blunt and sharp instruments, not
bulletes, had been Used to inflict
the wounds including a cash on
the back of JohnSon'S head, Sex
ton said.
The sheriff said Jahnson ap-
parently had spent most of last
Saturday night and the early
Sunday hours at the jock, though
Johnson's father, Daniel, reported
his son had come home at about
3 or am, changed his clothes,
borrowed some money, and left
again.
At about 80 o. 5 am, Sexton
said, Owens was parked in his
car before the jock, parallel to a
car occupied by Joe CaSon. Frank
Johnson came from the building
stumbled and fell, then rose and
went to lean against Cason's car,
the sheriff said.
Johnson asked Rose Mae WEIGH
who was apparently standing
nearby, for some moonsnlne
whiskey, and when she said, she
had none, he told ner ne'o Ded'
out of her." Sexton said. She
began backing away, the sheriff
continued, and johnson "advanc-
ed on her"
At this point, Sexton said,
Owens got out of his car and sub
seuuently shit Johnson several
times with blackjack, knocking
him down." This, like the rest OF
the episode, was reconstructed
from witnesses stories, the Sher-
iff said.
With the help of CaSon,s the
sheriff said, Owens dragged
Johnson to the side Of the road
and left the man there to die.
"No one offered Johnson any
assistance or medical aid" the
sheriff declared.
He quoted Joe Cason as saying
$50 far as he knew, Mr.. Bob
Owens was the law, and he was
afraid not to help him."
