"a mob cannot be a per-
manancy: everybOdy's inter
est requires that it should not
exist"
Ralph w. Emerson
THE ELECTIONS for 1854
which bear such tremendous
Importance, are only a bare
two weeks away. I am neither
licensed nor qualified to chart
the outcome. What seems a
duty at this time is to batter
down the unfortunate pro-
paganda and hySteria which
always crops up during cam
paignS. One of the newest is
the pro-segregation plot aimed
at killing the U. S. Supreme
Court Decision. Many tricks
are being tried.

well knows that even African
segregation has robbed the
colored man of his best pOten-
tial. 1t has robbed him of his
uranium, ivory, gold, diamonds,
as well as his human rights.
What has segregation done
for the South African?
AFRICA, like America, will
forge its progress upon the
cooperation and equalities of
many races, colors and reli-
gions. And Africa has a wide

U. S. SAFETY BASIC ISSUE
CONG. CURTIS WARNS VOTERS

Congressman Laurence Cur
tbs (R-MaSs.) warned voters
in the 10th Congressional
District today the basic issue
is the safety of the United
States in a world situation so
perilous that a bad error of
judgment, a hasty decision,
might precipitate a world
conaagation.
In view of this delicate 81
tuation, Congressman Curtis
emphasized that the new
fortnight and vigorous po-
licies adopted by President
Eisenhower must be continued
to insure the safety of the ma
ton.
Congressman Curtis pointed
out that two years ago the
foreign situation was tense
and uncertain. Although this
country had won the greatest
war in history, the fruits d
victory had somehow eluded
us. The foreign outlook was
terribly dark, Soviet power was
expanding at an alarming rate
and our troops were then fight
ing a Stalemated war in Ko-
rea," Congressman Curtis said.

gresham Curtis stated, I'VE

a prosperity based on peace
rather than a prosperity based
on war and imitation"

Eisenhower Studies
|DoolitiIe' S Report
On Ga in Europe
BY the Asseeiaisd Press

BONN, Germany, Oct. 15.-
President Eisenhower is review
ing secret operations Of the U. s..
Central Intelligence Agency In
Europe on the basis Of a conf
Dental report from Aviation
Hero James III. Doolittle. an au-
thoritative source disclosed here
last night.
Mr.. Doolittle made q hush
hush visit to West Germany in
September. conferring with in
telligence officers who direct
thousands of U. s. paid agents
In cold war activities inside the
Soviet bloc.
A retired Air Force lieutenant
general who served under Gen.
Eisenhower in North Africa and
on the Western front, Mr.. Doo-
little was the Presidents per-
sonal nominee for the CIA sur
vey.
Top Secrets Discussed.
Some OF the highest CHA Of
f1cials In Germany have been
Doolittle's friends since prewar
days, when he was an air racer.
He discussed with them some of
the most guarded secrets of
American espionage.
It is assumed here that one
OF the questions explored by Mr..
Doolittle was whether the CIA's
supersize staff abroad could be
pared down without crippling its
essential security functions.
About 1000 Americans are en-
ployed by CIA in Germany alone.
Many Germans are also on its
payroll.
Another question that Mr..
Doolittle may have taken up was
whether undercover operations
behind the Iron Curtain should
be modified.
Bonn Sovereignty Factor.
Still a third question may have
been the future restrictions that
will be clamped on CIA by the
grant Of sovereignty to West
Germany.
The Bonn peace contract,
signed in 1852 but scuttled in
August when the French Ma
tional Assembly rejected the
European Defense Community
treaty, would have allowed the
Western allies to retain certain
security powers after the end
Of the occupation. The allies
are concerned that these powers
be safeguarded in any new un-
derstanding with the, Germans.

Legion Group Rejects Bid
For Seat on UNESC0 Unit
By the Asseeiofed Press

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 15.-The
Executive Committee of tn e
American Legion, voting 51-6,
rejected a bid to seat a repre-
sentative of the United States
Commission to UNESCO. a Legion
spokesman said yesterday.
The rebuff to the United Ma
tions' Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization was voted
at the insistence of the Legion's
Americanism Commission, which
contended it has evidence num-
ber of Communist sympathizers
are members of the American
delegation.
The invitation to the Legion
stemmed from an investigation
of UNESCO started in March,
1852, by the Legion.
At the National Legion Con-
vention in Washing gton last
month. the veterans organization
adopted a resolution deploring
use of UNESCO material in

seized on two themes and ham
mered so hard on them that
they have taken the initiative
in establishing the major cam
paign issues:
Theme No. /: There is a
groundswell of sentiment toward
the Democrats because the vot-
ers are observation-disclosures with
President Eisenhower himself
but with his Republican admin
istration. .
Theme No. 2! The Republicans
are responsible for a breakdown
in the economy. and policies
which have thrown men out sof
work. given less take-home pay
to others, and reduced the
farmers income; therefore these
voters are turning to the DEM
ocrats.
The effectiveness Of the Dem
ocrats' strategy lies in its SIM
plicity and the fact that no one.
not even the Republicans, can
be sure until election day that
they aren't right. The Demo-
Gratis face a 2-3 disadvantage in
registrations.
The Republicans have been so
busy trying to explain the slack
in employment as a transition
from war to peace that the rec
ord of the Eisenhower admins
istration and the end of the war
in Korea have been relegated to
secondary importance. Local is
sues are prominent.
In an effort to get more at
tention on the administrations
record-and to capitalize on
President Eisenhower's personal
appeal-Republican leaders have
been pushing hard for some
time for the President to come
to the State.
And the Summer White House
at Denver announced this week
that Gen. Eisenhower will give
an outdoor luncheon at his Get
tysburg farm October % for
Pennsylvania's Republican cam
didates for Congress and State
Offices. It said the President
probably will make a few infor-
NAL remarks. but plans no major
speech.

Gratis have elected only one gov
