Hits Soviets
BY the Associated Pres.

NEW YORK. July within
hours Of scheduled departure

Russia because Soviet officials
had withheld q visa for q trained
newSman or Russian speaking
writer to accompany her.
At d news conference in the
Office Of Look Magazine for which
she was to make the trip to write
of her observations, the widow OF
the former President suggested
perhaps the Soviet Union was
trying to force her to 60 on its
terms or ''mistrusted" her. Or.
she said. it might be just ineffi-
cheney.
In any event. she said this
month was the only time she
had available for the month
long trip, so she was canceling
her plans. She was scheduled
to leave at 4 pm.
Mrs. Roosevelt said:
II feel that the Soviet officials,
in not granting q visa for a
reporter to accompany me, are
trying to force me to 60 to the
Soviet Union on their terms.

House opponents of President
EiSenhower'S plea for flexible ag-
ricultural price supports fought
today against an amendment
they said would divide and con-
quer" the farm forces.
The first direct test Of strength
developed on q proposal to re-
move peanuts from the six basic
crops currently covered by price
supports at 80 per cent of parity.
The bill on which the House
began section by section voting
today would continue for an
other year the present high sup
ports on wheat, cotton, corn,
rice. tobacco and peanuts. The
administration urges a flexible
program Of price supports based
on a sliding scale from IS to 80
per cent of parity at the discre-
ton of the Secretary of Agri-
culture.
Compromise Sought.
House Republican leaders
strove to work out q compro-
mise. They planned to offer an
amendment late today setting
the figure at about SO per cent
of parity. A final vote on the
bill itself seemed unlikely to
come before tomorrow because
of the large number of amend
ment proposals due for debate
today.
The first test came when Rep
resentative Vursell, Republican,
Of Illinois moved to amend the
bill by removing peanuts from
the list of specified basic crops.

have just finished another Of
Public Affairs Committees splen-
did booklets, which. like all their
publications. can be heartily rec
commended to anyone who is
touched by the subject. This par
ticular publication deals with a
problem that is one Of the most
universal we have When Par
ents Grow Old" Elizabeth Ogg.
It's author, has done an admirable
Job Of outlining solutions to most
Of the situations that can arise
In dealing with oldsters.
Why should we have so great
O problem with aging parents?
Who is responsible for the prob
lem? No matter how tactfully or
how euphemistically the subject
Is discussed, what it actually
amounts to is getting the aged
into the background, rather than
their care.
It's peculiar that in these days,
when antique furniture is sought
out among the back roads, when
even ancient movies have fol-
lowing on TV. the only way in
which so many. many people deal
with their older relatives is to
md homes, rest Ravens, any
spot, in fact, where mother or
dad can be sheltered safely. Per-
haps our mode of living in COM
pact dwellings is mainly respon-
Sible. Most tenants Of apartments
certainly. have no place for. an
extra person, and though modern
ranch houses roam all over the
lot, the surplus space in them
is put into rumpus rooms, play
areas and anything except q
room for grandma.
We put'all stress on the young.
and shunt the old aside. Perhaps
time will show that this is the
best way, perhaps not.
At any rate, homes are getting
smaller; people are living longer,
and somewhere in the middle is
the mounting problem Of what
to do when Parents Grow Old"
There is a good deal to be said
for the homes of the past that
had room, and use, for grandma
and grandpa, when the idea of
shipping them to a nursing in
Btitution, to sit in idleness, would
have been unthinkable. There
are still, blessedly. many OF these
spacious houses left. Not every
body makes a problem of a condi-
ton in life that should be &C
cepted as normal and right. OF
course there are situations that
are acute and need special treat
ment, but not all younger people
who moan, what shall we do
with Mother or Dad, for we can't
possibly take them in with uS?"
are justified.
AnoIyzes Question
Life, however, Is made UP OF
facts not theories, and the facts
presented by Miss Ogg are well
worth attention. She faces,
squarely, the problem Of aging
parents, and she presents some
practical suggestions. She an
alyzes the possibility Of taking
parents in with the younger
folks, of keeping the oldsters in
their own home, Of nursing
homes, and foster homes. Many
Of her ideas, such as day CEN
ter, are new to me; their prac-
tical application would be q
great help with special cases.

$500 each. $40 people have made
partial payments on life member

White Outlines
Situation Facing
Negro In U. S,

waiter "mte, Executive Secre-
tary Of the NAACP spoke to a
capacity house in the Minneapo-
lis YWCA auditorium on Where
We Stand" last Friday.
The long time leader of the Ne
gro national community stated
that we have accomplished much
In the field OF human relations in
the u. s., that we are now over
the hump. but the job is far from
being finished. He pointed out that
some OF the Southern states will
use all conceivable tactics to de-
lay the Supreme Court ruling of
May II, 1854.
Mr.. White mentioned that dur
ing the week of September II, the
State Legislative bodies of Mis-
sissippi passed an act to abolish
the public school system. They
now propose to turn the schools
over to private industries or pri-
vate individuals. Anther thought
is substituting individual pupils and
turning monies over to families
for educational purposes.
However, White said, this would
hardly be done because once a
sharecropper got such a lump sum
in his hands. he would use IL for
other current expenses as well as
education.
This, in his opinion, would force
state action and eventually revert
back 10 the Supreme Court. Any
subterfuge that is used can only
prolong the inevitable day of en-
forcement of the ruling.
Many Happy Over Ruling
Noting that many Southern
business men are happy about the
May nth ruling, Mr. White said
that now they can concentrate
their funds on better highways
hospitals. factories. etc, instead
of financing separate school sys-
TENS.
The ease with which some
Southern States, notably Arkans-
as and North Carolina are comply
ing with the May nth decision
was praised by the speaker.
Ssrd Congress Poor
White stated that the s3rd Con-
gress was one of the poorest in the
history Of that body Of govern
ment. Only handful Of Senators
OF the SSrd Congress made con-
tribution to our democratic way
IF life. He mentioned that men
like Sen, Hubert II, Humphrey of
Minnesota. Ives Of New York and
Kennedy of Massachusetts who
gave us the Anti-Discrimination
Travel bill. and further pointed
out that members OF both parties
were claiming the credit for the
de-segregation OF the public school
system. He made Il clear that
neither party was responsible and
that this project was undertaken
by the NAACP long before the
sSrd Congress went into session.
The eyes OF the world are focus
ed on what we are doing and how
we are doing Il, White said. The
far off places Of great wealth like
Asia and Africa do not believe in
our democracy because they have
heard the blarings OF people like
Governor ralmadge who is oppos-
cd 10 any form ot indignation, In
spite Of opposition from such Of
ficials. the Negroes in the South
are fighting an unyielding battle
in their pursuit for fair and equal
opportunities, and that we need
not live In Mississippi or Georgia
for these things 10 affect us
As good citizens we must not
relax our vigilance, White said
We should lend our support to an
FEC law with Enforcement
powers without enforcement
powers. the FEPCs are utterly
useless and becomes laughing
stock.
