Segregation Stops
Charleston Show

CHARLESTON, S. C. April 5 -
(SpeciaD - A local production of
the folk Opera "Porgy and Bess''
was cancelled here last week over
the issue of segregation. The cast
was to have been interracial.
The Dock Street Theatre Inc,
planned the production. but when
some groups demanded a nonseg-
regated audience, the production
was cancelled. In doing so, Mrs.
Thomas J. Tobias cited the South
Carolina Code which specifies no
mixing of the two races in places
of amusement.
A. J. Clement Jrs., president of
the Charleston chapter of the N.
A. A. c. P, went along with the
segregated plans. Clement said he
was told by white and Negro law
yers that the law was so vague
that an audience could or could not
be segregated, depending on the in
depreciation of an individual Judge.
Clement cited several events
where the audience has been in
tegrated.
The story Of Porgy had it's set
ting in Charleston in Catfish
Row." where the cripple lived. The
author, Debose Hayward, was a
native Charlestonian. Since then
the story has been produced three
different times. 1t has never been
shown in Charleston.
The current production closed at
the Opera House in Chicago last
week.

Petition Would

WASHINGTON, R-Rep. Dodd

bring the Alaska statehood bill
before the House, although he
says he will vote against it.
The statehood bill has been
approved by the House Interior
Committee but the Rules Commit

consideration. The petition is to
move the bill from the Rules
Committee to the House for &C
ton.
Dodd voted against the Hawaii
statehood bill passed by the House
last session.
He said in statement that he
signed the discharge petition
simply because Of the interest in
the bill and to enable the House
to have an opportunity to act
Dodd said he opposed state
hood for the territories because
he believes the United States
should limit its membership to
the present 48 states.

government is already very large,
cumbersome and unwieldy," Dodd

Hawaii Delegate
Sure Statehood
Bill Will Pass

WASHINGTON, Up Delegate
harrington expressed hope Sun
day night that the Hawaiian peo-
pie will be able to elect mem
bers of the United States Senate
and House of Representatives
next November
He made his statement in a
radio interview.
Harrington said that although
he foresees "some very bitter and
determined opposition" in the
Senate to the statehood bill" l
am sure that if the measure is
brought to a vote that it will be
passed"
To questions about the extent
of Communism in Hawaii-one
of the big argument used by OPP
ponents Of statehood-Farrington
replied:
Il don't think that the facts
support the allegation that Com
munism constitutes a political
threat in Hawaii. And on the con-
trary it appears that those who
made that charge are a lot more
afraid that we will elect Repub-
icans than we will elect Com
munists."
He denied arguments against
statehood based on Hawaii's dis
lance from the mainland, saying
that with modern transportation
Hawaii is closer-in travel time
to Washington than was Philadel-
phia when the District Of Colum-
bia was chosen as the national
capital city.

them to the territorial or munici-

Robert B. Murray, undersecre-
tary Of Commerce, and Fred B.
Lee, administrator Of Civil Aero
nauticS, disclosed this in testi-
many before the House Appropri-

Rep. Rooney (-NYO, a commit

the airports:

them. Are we going to give them
away"
"This committee appropriated all
the funds for those airports. We
thought we were going to get
some revenue out of them. Never
at any time was there discussed
the matter Of turning them over
to the territory or the municipal
tiles for the benefit of private
interests"
Lee explained that legislation is
being prepared for the transfer
Of the airports to the territorial
government, and will be submit

Army Secretary Stevens Summoned
By Senator Mccarthy To Explain
Army's "Coddling" Of Communists

WASHINGTON, III Secretary
of the Army Robert T. Stevens
and Sen. Mccarthy, fresh from
running clash over McCarthy's in
terrogation of Army officers, meet
face to face on the issue tomor-
row before a nationwide audience.
Turned down twice in two days
on demands he made to the Army.
Mccarthy has summoned its civ
ilian head to appear before his
Senate Investigation subcommit-
tee here tomorrow.
He said Stevens would be asked
to explain what the senator term
ed an attempt by the Army "to
coddle and promote Communists"
Stevens said he received no Of
fetal notification, but would be
glad to appear. That was after he
had ordered two generals not to
comply with calls for their ap-
pearance before McCarthy's sub
committee.
Directing to the humiliation he
said was inflicted on one of them
at a hearing by Mccarthy last
week, Stevens said Il cannot per-
NIT the loyal officers of our
armed forces to be subjected to
such unwarranted treatment"
On Friday the Army let go by
a deadline Mccarthy had set for
it to produce the names of all
personnel connected with the pro-
motion and honorable discharge
of a reserve officer who had de-
clined to say whether he was
ever a Communist.
Mccarthy said in New York
yesterday that the reserve major
involved, DR.. Irving Peress, a
dentist, was commissioned, pro-
NOTED, saved from overseas orders
and awarded an honorable dis
charge, all despite an open record
of active membership in the
Communist conspiracy"
Mccarthy said in New York,
"Stevens is loyal man, but ap-
parently is being made dupe
by holdovers fro mthe previous
administration"

there is even a strong suspicion
that smoking causes lung cancer"
But he also said everyone, es-
pecially those over As, should
have an x-ray at least once a year
and he added:
eff you are timid soul, then
you should also give up smoking
at least until the facts are

Rep. Bow R-Ohio) asked what
justification there was for the
transfer, since the airports were
profiting.
Lee said an airport operation
logically is a local municipal re-
sponsibility, and the federal gov
eminent should not concern itself
with local airport operation ex-
cept in special cases such as the
Washington National Airport. IN
der questioning he added that nei-
Their the territory nor the cities
had contributed to the construc-
ton cost.
Bow asked whether any consid-
Grafton had been given to reim-
bursement of the federal treasury
by the cities or the territory.
Lee said this had been consid-
cred, but added that in negotia-
tons with the territory it appear
ed that Alaska was not financially
capable Of investing "any sub
stantial amount of funds in the
airports.'

California Editor Named
Director Public Relations
National COP Committee

WASHINGTON, R-James Bas-
set, 41-year-old political editor of
the Los Angeles Mirror, today
was named director Of public re-
lations for the Republican Nation
al Committee.
Bassett, who was Vice President
Nixon's publicity director in the
1852 campaign, succeeds Robert
Humphrey, who was promoted to
campaign director, a new job.
The shifts were interpreted by
party spokesman as an effort to
step up the 1854 Congressional
election campaign by relieving
Humphreys of what was termed
double duties" in recent months.
Also, the appointment of Bas-
set by Chairman Leonard w. Hall
was looked on as rejecting, in
some measure at least, the rising
prestige in the party of Nixon.
Both Nixon and Bassett are Cal
ifornians.
