Henson ExtoIIed
By W. Averell
Hartman

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE ex-
ploits of Matthew A. Henson, who
accompanied Commodore Robert Z.
Peary in the discovery of the North
Pole, were eXtolled by w. Averell
Hartman, former director of Mu-
tual Security Dr. Edward NJ.
Weyer, president of the Explorers
Club; and Arthur B. Spingarn,
president of the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of
Colored People, at the unwilling of
magnificent bronze head of the
S6-year-old Arctic explorer here
this week.
The head, sculptured by the
noted artist, John LaFarge, was
commissioned by a friend of the
NAACP for presentation to the EX-
plorers Club where it will be pre-
maturely installed Mr.. Henson is
an honorary member of the club.
The ceremony was held on Febru-
AIRY 9 before a distinguished audi
ence including many officers and
directors of the NAACP and mem
bers of the Explorers Club.
Many advances in race relations
have been made since the discovery
of the North Pole in 1909, Mr.. Har-
riman said in his address of pre-
sentation. However, he added. "all
too much remains to be done" It
is men like Mr.. Henson, he said,
"Who have pioneered the path. who
strengthen our determination to en-
able more and more Americans to
have the opportunity to demon
strate their ability to meet the
test of merit"
The task of eliminating racial
segregation and other discrimina-
ton, Mr.. Harmon asserted, is
national possibility. eve know
that such practices are not only
morally offensive; they are also
economically wasteful. To the ex-
tent that we deprive any group of
full participation in our national
life, we deprive ourselves Of the
benefits Of the highest skills and
productive abilities its members
may possess or develop"
In response, Mr.. Henson recalled
some of his experiences on Arctic
explorations beginning in 1891. He
was associated with Peary over a
period of 20 years in attempts to
reach the North Pole. There were
times, he said, when the tempera-
ture dropped to 60 degrees and
more below zero. Although, Mr.

Immediate Action
Urged On Civil
Rights Bills

NEW YORK, Feb. II. - The
Leadership Conference on Civil
Rights. a group of 50 national.
civic, labor, church. fraternal, vet
Grams, and minority group organ
izations, this week vigorously
urged action by the Eighty-third
Congress to start the ball rolling
Immediately on passage of civil
rights legislation.
The statement of the Confer
ence, adopted by its steering COM
mittee and released by Walter
White, NAACP executive secre-
tary, and conference chairman.
follows:
THE inclusion of statehood for
Hawaii is the only civil rights
item in the announced civil rights
program agreed upon bv President
Eisenhower and the majority lead
ers in Congress. The silence on
Alaska and the even more glazing
omission of major civil rights
measures affecting the welfare
and security of millions of Amer
leans and the Nations standing in
the Free World cannot be allowed
To 90 unchallenged.
"The Leadership Conference
again states its profound convic-
ton that the greatest single need
in the field of civil rights is an
effective Federal Law, enforceable
through the courts, prohibiting
discrimination in employment. We
call upon President Eisenhower
and the Congressional leaders of
his party to proceed to the immed-
late consideration of an action
upon the bill introduced by SEN
ators Ives, Humphrey, Morse and
sixteen others of both major par
ties. Although there are more
than a score of cities and eleven
states that have FEPC laws and
ordinances of varying degrees of
effectiveness, the grossest, most
tragic and costly discrimination in
employment remains untouched
and will not be touched except by
effective Federal law uniformly
enforced through the courts.
I'VE call upon the administra-
ton to take immediate steps to
eliminate segregation and other
forms of discrimination from all
areas under Federal jurisdiction
and control including the District
of Columbia and all employment
under government contracts.
I'VE call for prompt administrat-
i've and Congressional action to
protect the right to vote and the
security of person and to give
strength and proper status to the
civil rights activity of the national
government through expanding
and strengthening of the Civil
Rights Section of the Department
OF Justlc and elevating its status
to that of a full division of the De-
partment headed by an assistant
attorney general.
During Senate debate at the
opening of the 83rd Congress. Re-
publican spokesman pledged to
make amendment of the cloture

Henson did not mention it, Com
modore Peary once called him "the
most nearly indispensable man"
with whom he was associated.
Peary, Henson and four Eskimos
were the first human beings to
reach the Pole.
Accepting the head on behalf of
the Explorers Club, Dr.. Weyer
praised Mr.. Henson and said that
the club was proud that almost
so years ago Matt Henson was on
an Explorers Club team In the
club, he said, Il know Of no ,one
who is held in more affectionate
regard than Matt Henson, and |
believe he is the only person whose
head has ever adorned our halls"
DR.. Weyer recalled that the year
1909 is exactly halfway back to
the close of the Civil War Thanks
to the work of the Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie and other courageous groups"
he declared, "the second half-cen-
turv after the assassination of
Abraham Lincoln looks somewhat
better than the first. Though we
cannot rest on our oars or on our
laurels, we can hope that times
are improving

MOSCOW, Sunday, Sept. 81
Tass indicated today the Soviet

3 Candidates Battle
To Fill Wisconsin
Vacancy in Congress
By the Assoeicted Press

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Sept. 26.-
A wide-open tight between six
Republicans and a close battle
between two Democrats are being
waged in this Northwestern Wis
consin farming community for
a seat in Congress.
The field of eight will be mar
rowed to one in each party, at
a special primary Tuesday for
nomination to succeed the late
Representative Merlin K. Hull,
Republican who died three
months ago. The general elec-
ton will be held October 13.
Held Area 20 Years.
The 11-county area was sewed
up so tight in the past 20 years
by Mr.. Hull, a former Wiscon-
sin Progressive. that it is hard
to figure what any other Re-
publican candidate will poll,
AS the territory has been ira
ditionally Republican, however,
indications are that the G. O. P.
primary winner will have little
trouble capturing the seat in the
october election.
However, the district is par
ticularly sensitive to the politics
Of agriculture, as it is predom-
inantly rural. So results will be
watched closely as a possible
test of the administrations farm
policies.
Democrats have lost in the
district by margin that reached
as high as five to one. If they
can make a substantial showing
in this primary, it might be
pointed to as rebuke of the
administrations farm program.
Light Vote Indicated.
Indications are the vote will
be very light. possibly under
$4,000, despite intense campaigns
being put on by some of the
candidates.
The six Republican candidates
are State Senator Arthur Pad
rutt. SO. of Chippewa Falls: AS
semblyman Arthur L. Peterson,
q. Prescott: Daniel D. Daniel
son. SO. an Eau Claire alderman:
Willis Donley. So, Menominie at
torney and former State assem-
blyman; Mike Krultz, jr., 40,
Neillsville, Clark County clerk,
and George Rowe, 43. Me-
nomonie, former assistant to Mr..
Hull.
The Democratic candidates are
Lester johnson, 46, Black River
Falls. Jackson County district
attorney and Kent Pilsbury, 35,

Mr.. Hull in 1852 by '81,258 to

Critically Wounded
In Duel With Police
BY the Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 26.-A
man posing as an Army investi-
gator was critically wounded to-
night in the Minneapolis city
hall during a gun battle that
sent bullets flying into police and
fire headquarters.
Authorities identified the man
as John D. Kelly, As. They said
he had Identification cards CIV
ing about 100 different home
towns" including Washington,
D. c., and Newton, Iowa.
He was captured a short time
later after Communicating a
car and forcing Gerald Craw-
ford and Ethel Curtiss Of Min
neapolis to drive away with him.
Mr.. Crawford and Miss Curtiss
were uninjured as the policemen
fired at the car when Kelly sped
away.
Exposed as Fake.
Police Inspector E. T. Hart
gave this account of the incident:
Kelly entered police headquar-
terS and said he was from the
Army's Criminal Investigation
Division. He said he wanted to
check on the local civil defense
Setup.
While he was being shown
through fire department head
quarters, police made a quick
check and found his identifica-
ton was fake. When he re-
turned to police headquarters he
was questioned on his identity.
Kelly suddenly ran into the
hallway and fired three shots
through a plate glass window
into the police radio control
room. Police Dispatcher George
Conn returned the fire and was
Joined by six other policemen as
he chased Kelly down the hall
way and out onto the street.
One of the bullets fired in the
chase flew down the hallway and
through window into the fire
department headquarters, miss
ing the fire control board by
inches and showering fire dis
patchers Burton Kees and AL
bert j. Fortin with broken glass.
Operate Boards From Knees.
The two fire dispatchers sank
to their knees and operated their
control boards from that posi-
ton until the gun battle moved
outside the city hall. More bull
lets were fired as Kelly ran
about a block down the street.
A short time after Kelly COM
mandeered the car he was ar
rested several blocks from the
city hall as he was forcing Mr..
Crawford at gunpoint to change
a tire that had blown out. He
offered no resistance at that
point.
Kelly was taken to a hospital
where it was discovered he had
been shot once in the arm and
twice in the leg. His condition
was described as critical.
