boil is a pair of scales of justice
below which are the initials IN. F.

purchasers that a royalty on the
particular item bearing it is being
paid to the Foundation for that
privilege-and that these royalties
are going exclusively into the fight
for civil rights under the direction
of a responsible board of directors.
The former envoy declared that
the task of translating the Ameri-
can idea of democracy into a real
ity sis costly proposition" and
cited as evidence the aggregate
1858 budgets for six major private
organizations fighting racial and
religious discrimination which
amount to nearly S7,000,000. They
are the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie, National Urban League, Am
erican Jewish Congress-, American
Jewish Committee, -Defama-
ton League of B'nai Birth, and the
National Conference of Christians
and Jews.
Mr.. Dudley disclosed that the
Foundation already has agreed to
the use of the symbol on line of
electronic devices and electrical ap-
! planes, and on another covering
certain alcoholic beverages soon to
| be introduced in the New York
area. He said also that negotia-
tons are under way with a ma ior
food professor.
The spokesman stressed that the
new group will avoid propaganda
and lobbying activities and where
/ possible will work through estab-
lished organizations. The group
will strive for better job oppor-
tunities, intimate scientific studies
to determine the impacts of racial
prejudice and discrimination. and

resolving these problems, and gen

Governor William H. HASTE in the

According to Mr.. Dudley, the
Foundation will aid civil rights
organizations with funds derived
from what he called a unique
method of underwriting programs
for social and interracial advance
ment." The Foundation is quail
fled to receive gifts and requests
from private sources, he explained,
but added that it will probably
acquire most of its funds through
the new method which he described
in this way:
Suppose a manufacturer or mer-
chandiser decides to enter the So
called SIS billion Negro market
with a line of goods and wants a
competitive advantage. After
achieving an understanding with
the Foundation regarding stand
ards, he would be permitted to use

time for us to change or do ANY,
thing about this (housing situa~
ton which has developed). He
said, he suggested the "quiet ap
proach" to this problem and felt
that the less publicity given to 1t
under the circumstances was best.
However, he said that he would
make public the letter he is pre-
pairing to send to the local ar
rangements committee.
He declined to make public or
reveal the specific contents of the
letter he had received from the
Miami committee on housing and
the latest developments in accom-
modating the delegates.
Yet Dr.. Jemison made it clear
that he was strongly opposed to any
suggested curtailment of hotel ar
engagements that could be attribut-
ed to racial prejudice and discrimi-
nation. But he wanted time to word
his opposition.
The formal announcement of DR..
JemlSon that he will not stand for
reelection as president of the con-
vention has been followed by a
furry of renewed activity among
the other candidates.
Following the reports which pre-
sisted up until his formal state
ment last Thursday that DR.. Jemi-
son would stand for e-election, be-
cause of the convention habit Of
sticking to tradition, Rev. J, H.
Perry of Chicago, First Vice Presi-
dent was regarded as the leading
candidate in the field.
A powerful committee for the
election of Perry was organized
following the recent Brooklyn
meeting. The committee was re-
ported as later order disbanded
by Rev. Perry when it was thought
that DR.. Jemison would stand for
reelection.
The formal announcement of DR..
Jemison that he will not stand
for reelection, in the light of the
recent action Of Rev. Perry, is
seen by most observers as putting
forward as the leading candidate
Rev. Joseph H. Jackson, pastor of
famed Olivet Baptist Church of
Chicago, regarded by most as the
most able and outstanding baptist
leader of the nation.
DR.. Jackson, who is a native of
Mississippi has been already en-
dorsed by the convention of most
of the southern states with some
estimates giving him the pre-con-
vention backing of more than l.
100000 Baptist of the nation.

meeting of the National Baptist
Convention, Sept. 8-13.
The National Baptist Convention
leader also revealed that he had
been informed that housing in
Miami had hit snag. He promised
to issue formal statement on this
matter which he said he was pre-
pairing.
1t has been reliably reported that
some hotels in Miami were backing
up on pledges of accommodation.
DR.. Jemison seemed to have given
some substance to this report by
revealing that he had a letter from
the host committee in Miami stat
ing that this resort city would be
able to accommodate only approx
mately $4,000 delegates in con-
trast to the suggested 10000 WISH
tors who would pour into this

Auto Speeder Flees
To Woods After Crash

Maryland state and Hyatts-
vile police early today were clos
ing in on a youthful speeder who
Ieaped from his car and fled into
wooded section after piling up
two other autos during a 100
mile an hour chase.
The fugitive was flushed at
one point by Trooper John Kai-
ser who almost stepped on him
covering in tangled underbrush
as searchlights played over the
area.
The youth jumped up and ran
as Trooper Kaiser fired two shots
over his head. Scene of the
search was a 30-acre wooded
tract between the Melrose rail-
road crossing in Hyattsville and
Baltimore highway.
At least one person was in
jured in the crashes. She was

Secretary of Defense Wilson
has set target of 12O wings for
the fiscal year beginning July /
and emphasized that production
will equip ia wings during the
period. He SAID 10 OF the 1O6
wings now have no aircraft and
termed them paper wings"
The allotments of the commit
tee were lower than the revised
Eisenhower recommendations :or
every agency of The department.
Only in the case Of the Army did
the committee vote more than
Mr.. Truman requested. This was
due to advance financing of the
Korean war. Previously the
Korean campaign was financed
separately.
The total is $12.7 billion less
than the department was given
for the current year, $40 billion
OF the reduction being in Air
Force funds.
The committee, as did Mr..
Wilson in his testimony, referred
frequently to the tremendous
carryover Of military funds from
previous appropriations. The un-
expended carryover, it said, will
be $57.4 billion, exclusive of pub
lie works funds, and the depart
ment will have available for
spending next year $91.9 billion.
OF this total, the committee said,
the department actually expects
to spend $43.2 billion, or 5000
million more than during the
present year.

In an obvious reference to

retary Wilson has stated, we may

The island, once 70 acres and

mac silt, was purchased in 1881
by the Roosevelt Memorial Asso-

under jurisdiction of National
Capital Parks. Canoeists often

given to Captain Randolph
Brandt in gratitude for military
service. It was once my Lords

and naturally became known as
Mason's Island after his resi-
dence there. Its earliest name
probably was Analostan, after

means all fun. The COP on the
Hill" today, cannot look back
ward with much feeling of ac-
complishment-nor ahead with
much feeling of cheer. For if
this session adjourns July 81,
leaving such issues as Hawiian
Statehood, Taft-Hartley revision
and a thorough overhauling of
the tax laws for consideration
in January, the 1854 session may
well develop 4 worse log-jam
than the one it now faces.
Same Bills Up Next Year.
It must be remembered that
most of the major bills being
acted on at this session are only
one-year extensions. That means
that in the 1854 session both
houses again will be confronted
by foreign aid, reciprocal trade,
housing and another array of
annual appropriation bills.
With individual income taxes
due to be reduced automatically
January /, and another sub
Stantial deficit in prospect for
June of 1854, Congress next year
can hardly avoid a search for
new revenue sources.
Aggravating this heavy 1854
work-load will be the pressure
in both houses to get home by
midsummer for the congressional
campaign in which the entire
House and one-third of the Sena-
tors will face reelection. The
approach of another election day
will have its effect on the legis-
lative program next year. be-
cause members of both houses
will be thinking of the problems
that appeal most to the voters
in their sections of the country.
A fall session this year could
tighten this 1854 work-load. but
there is little sentiment for it
on Capitol Hill at this time.
No matter how you slice it, it
would seem to behoove the Re-
publican lawmakers to get going.

Is cents any week end will buy
you all the isolation you can use
and guarantee an afternoon of
insulation against day-by-d day
cares, honking traffic and steam

The spot, one Of the few un-
trammeled ones left in the
Washington area, is history
laden Roosevelt Island, just now
being opened up by regular ferry
service from the foot of Wiscon-
sin avenue in Georgetown.
The service, at 25 cents for
adults and Is cents for children,
operates from noon to 6 pm,
Saturdays, Sundays and holidays
until October.
The island, once owned by
Lord Baltimore, went back to
nature after a heyday as a bril-
liant summer home and minia-
ture plantation operated by
George Mason. At it's widest
now-and that's the way Ma
tional Capital Parks wants it
it stands as a monument to
Theodore Roosevelt, whose prime
hobby was conservation.
Wildlife Abundant.
Furtive foxes can be seen If
you're agile enough, rarely-seen
barred owls and black-crowned
night heronS call the densely-
wooded island home. Wild mall
lardS, red-wing blackbirds and

the big white American egrets.

Reciprocal Trade Agreement.
3. A one-year extension of the
Reciprocal Trade Agreement pro-
gram, passed by the House with
a controversial amendment plac-
ing a seventh member on the
non-partisan Tariff Commission
which the Senate is expected
to delete sometime this week.
The Senate managers will have
to battle hard in conference,
however, to get the House to
agree to elimination of it's sew
enth-member proposal. The SEN
atorS have tried to meet House
opposition with a substitute
which provides that whenever
there is a tie vote in the COM
mission. the issue will be sub
mitted to the President for de-
ciSion.

lean soldiers stationed in Europe
would continue to be tried in
foreign courts for offenses COM
mitted while of duty. The Sen
ate faces a battle over this one.
The system already is in effect
by executive agreements made by
the last administration but the

anxious to have it ratified by

fight for reservation to put

offenses committed overseas.

If Congress sticks to a July 81

ably will have to wait until next
