cent years 1t has been almost

however, many Negroes have de-
clared themselves In the Cooper
camp.
This Is due In part to the fact
that Senator Cooper himself has
shown his interest in them by
recommending Joseph Ray Of
Louisville, q colored man, for
the Job Of assistant to the adj
ministrator of the Housing and
Home Finance Agency in Wash
ington, and by appointing a
Negro to the Naval Academy.
Also, 1t is reported the Me-
groes feel more kindly to the
Eisenhower administration be-
cause the President has done
away with segregation in the
armed forces, and because of the
Supreme Court decision for the
desegregation of the public
schools. If this feeling runs
strongly. 1t may aid Senator
Cooper materially.
Warns Against Fraud.
Senator Cooper himself has
thrown a new note into the cam
paign. He invaded the Demo-
cratic stronghold. Russellville
and Logan County, and warned
that any violations of the sac
redness of the ballot box on elec-
tion day would be severely pun
ished-it he could bring it about.
II want every vote that is
cast for my Democratic opponent
to be counted for him." Cooper
said. "And I also want every vote
that is cast for me-" There have
been charges of tampering with
ballot boxes in their area in the
past.
Also, Cooper spoke up in critic
cism of Gov. Wetherby's request
that State employees vote. "It is
a callous suggestion" said
Cooper, that there are people
in this State who will allow
themselves to be delivered for
one candidate or another"
Cooper Counts on Women.
The Cooper forces are counting
on a large vote from the women.
In Louisville, and elsewhere in
the State. the women, many of
them working through the Citi-
zens for Eisenhower Congress
sional Committee, have been
waging an active campaign. It
was the women who helped to
roll up a huge vote for Gen. Eli
senhower in 1852 throughout the
country.
Here they have the Barkley
managers worried. The peace
issue-peace with Eisenhower
and a Republican Congress-is
appealing to the women. So is
the fact that Senator Cooper is
an attractive figure and a bach
elor.
An angle which may or may
not effect the results in the SEN
atorial race is found in the
present campaign that former
Senator A. B. Happy" Chan
dler is waging for the Demo-
cratic gubernatorial nomination
next year.

Court Delays Action
Waiting Confirmation
OF Judge Harlan
See New Date Set
For Arguments

Washington, D. c., Nov. 29.-
President Eisenhowed told a news
conference Tuesday that he un-
derstands the Supreme Court will
carry out de-segregation in the
public schools on a de-centralized,
regional basis.
Eisenhower said there Is no In.
tention to be arbitrary, and that
he believes allowances will be
made for what he called great
emotional strains and practical
problems in various parts Of the
country.
The Presidents remarks ap-
peared to refer to a plan before
the Supreme Court to assign to
the lower courts without definite
instructions the task Of consoii-
dating white and Negro schools
las soon as possible"
This would be q concession to
the states that have asked for
gradual Indignation. The five
groups of Negroes before the
court have asked for immediate
de-segregation.
Not Personal knowledge
The White House emphasized
later that Nh. Eisenhower was not
speaking from any personal knowl-
edge Of the courts intentions.
The President, in answer to q
question, mentioned that there had
been some delay in filing q brief
by Atty. Gen. Herbert Brownell,
Jr., that will make clear the gov.
ernment's position on de-segrega-
ton.
Mr.. Eisenhower added that he
is sure America wants to obey
the constitution, and that in de-
claring racial segregation in the
schools unconstitutional, the Su-
preme Court has made clear what
is the law and what the constitu-
ton means.
But, he continued, there are GER
tainly deep-seated emotions and
very great practical problems in
volved.
He said that what the Supreme
Court has undertaken to do IL TO

Fields was characterized by his

solutelY devoid of moral princi-

only two weeks. when he Tried TO
organize the base for the Chris
tian Anti-Jewish Party.
In October of 1858, Fields and
another Atlanta youth, Robert
Miner, Is, enrolled in the Palmer
School of Chiropractics in Daven-

February 1854, Miner and Fields

also "Anti-Jew Week February
