two brothers, Harvey and Ed
ward Davis, are seeking office
unopposed, which is the first
two brothers or father and son
time in many elections, that when

that one was not defeated. Since
there is no opposition in either

these two brothers are brothers
in-law of the present Chairman
of Elections Board, George G.
Owens; they are brothers to one
of the appointed judges in Ali

another appointed judge in the
same precinct. They are cousins

U.N. Secretary General In Stockholm, Plans to Visit Peiping After Dec. 26

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, R- JUN. Secretary General Dag Ham marskjold announced last night after a meeting with Communist China's ambassador to Sweden that he still plans to leave for Peiping sometime after Dec. 26 but the exact date has not been set.
 As Hammarskjold conferred at a luncheon with the envoy, Gen. Keng Piao, Pieping Radio broad cast further legal arguments against the release of the US. fliers China is holding as spies. The radio quoted a brief by a Chinese judge that the Korean armistice applied only to the North Koreans and the Chinese volunteers" in Korea, not to the Chinese peasants and police the broadcast said had captured the airmen.
 An official announcement from Hammarskjold said his 212-hour discussion with Keng was on practical matters concerning his mission to China. The secretary general will seek the release of the American airmen and all other JUN. personnel still held by the Chinese since the Korean War.

Report Against 'Tax-Free Groups Called Biased'

WASHINGTON, lR-Spokesmen for several foundations have hit back with such terms as "biased'' and "flimSy" at'a House commit tee report accusing the giant tax free groups of promoting social ism of "far greater menace at home than Communism.
 The report was issued last night over the signatures of the three Republicans on special five member committee headed by Rep Reece (R-Tenn). One of them, Rep Goodwin tMass), dissented from many of the conclusions, in cluding the one that the founda- tionS promote socialism.
 Reps. Wayne L. Hays COhio) and Pfost Gdaho), the two Demo- cratic members, filed a blistering dissent attacking the 4l6-page report as "crackpot" view by persons suffering from fear sick ness.' They put primary blame on the committee staff.
 The report, signed by the COP members pictured the nations big foundations as comprising an Gin terlock" and "an intellectual car tel' which, it declared, yields tremendous leftWing power over the nations thought and policies.
 The 12-page opinion by the Democrats declared the investiga- tion was dominated from the start by "theme of prejudgement'' against the foundations Hike the theme of doom in tragic opera" "
 The COP report said the foun- dations influence national policies through the power of the purse c'public" money because of the foundations tax-exempt status) amplified through a host of "in- termediate" organizations, such as information clearing houses and professional societies. It said professional foundation adminis- trators, not the big-name trustees, Wield the actual power.
