Another D. c. stopover has
been marked for MERLE
NORMAN, the famous cosme-
tician. Here for the gath
annual convention of her
studio owners from all over
the Nation, Merle switched
from a medical career to that
of one devising formulas for
beauty preparations. Her sue
cess story involves the con-
version Of her kitchen into a
laboratory, the word-of mouth
campaign of her neighbors,
and then the branching into
Of a cosmetic business Of her
own with her homemade heal
ing salve that formed q per-
feet powder base, and her cold
cream that gained a tre-
mendous following. When the
crash came she had just been
offered $500, 900 for her
formulas, plus a 10 year con-
tract. The 1929 financial
disaster did one thing for
Merle: 1t convinced her that
If those formulas were good
enough to be bought by an
other cosmetic house they were
worth more to her. AND that
was the beginning of a beauty
career that also opened the
avenue to other women for
careers of their own in the
beauty business.

The fourth award goes to
Henry Dreyfuss industrial de-
signer, who has had a lot to do
with redesigning the way
America lives. When America
works. plays. rides. flies, talks
on a phone, or sits in a chair.
Henry Dreyfuss is likely to
have had something to do with
the designing Of the item being
used. The interior Of Presi-
dent Eisenhower's private
plane Columbine III was plan

ers. In it he planned a dressing
room for Mrs. Eisenhower, and
even a cabinet for her hats.
Henry Dreyfuss has finished
the interior in soft shade of

President prefers.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., June
~ (P. - President Eisenhower
was both lauded and censured
yesterday before the National

Vice President Nixon told the
organization that "the greatest
progress since 1865" in the full
flllment of NAACP objectives has
been made under the Eisenhew-
eri administration.
But Roy wilkins, NAACP ex-
ecutive secretary, deplored the
Presidents criticism of an anti
segregation rider tackled on the
armed forces reserve bill, and
accused the Republican Party
of playing "footsie with South
ern Democrats on civil rights. "
Both spoke at the concluding
session of the NAACP's six-day
annual convention.
Mr.. Nixon told the TOO dele
gates that completion of the
tntegration of public school
systems" should be among the
most important objectives of the
future.
Other objectives, he said,
should be equal opportunity in
employment; better housing
with the emphasis on homes
rather than just housing; and
removal of the last vestiges" of
discriminatory practices in the
District of Columbia.
In extending greetings from
the President, Mr.. Nixon said:

Negroes Plead
For Integrated
National Guard

Clarence Mitchell, director of
the Washington bureau of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, as
serted before a House subcom-
mittee today that President Eli
senhower is willing to settle for"
racial segregation in National
Guard units in the South by in-I
dicating he would accept re-
vised military reserves bill.
Mr.. Mitchell urged the House
Armed Services subcommittee tot
amend the measure by banning
the training of reservists in Ma
tional Guard units which are
'racially segregated.
The bill is scheduled to be
acted on tomorrow by the full
committee and may be reported
out for House action later this
week.
A nonsegregation amendment
proposed by Representative Pow
ell, Democrat. of New York, and
tentatively adopted by the House
several weeks ago, stalled further
action on the original reserves
bill. The revised bill, approved
ILL by the subcommittee several
days ago, eliminated all REFER
enceS to the National Guard.
Calls Bill Unacceptable
Mr.. Mitchell told the subcom-
mittee today that the new YER
sion is no more acceptable to the
NAACP than was the original
bill. Referring to reports that
President Eisenhower would ac-I
cept the revised bill rather than
have the entire reserve program
defeated in Congress, Mr.. Mitch
ell said:
"Our difference with the
President is that he is willing
Ito settle for using all-white
|manpower in National Guard
units of great cities like Charles
ton, s. c.. Birmingham. Ala, and
Atlanta. Ga. In these cities more
than 80 per cent of the popula-
.tion is colored.
1--WE have in the past opposed
any defense program that ex-
posed the Nation to danger by
limiting the use of manpower
on the basis of race. We shall
never agree with anyone, not.
even our great President, who
tells us that we must not make
an all-out effort to contribute
our skills and abilities to the
defense of the country in an
emergency"
Armed Forces Integrated
The NAACP official noted that
the Defense Department requires
racial integration in the regular
armed forces and reserve units.
by eliminating the National
Guard from the new reserve bill,
he said, the guard units would be
,racially segregated in the areas
where most of the colored people
live.
"This means that we shall have
two armies" he complained. Gas
we see it,. racial segregation in
any unit that may be called toI
defend the country is not only
Ia gross violation of the civil
rights of the colored people. but
lit is also an attempt to have the
Nation commit suicide"
Mr.. Mitchell called the sub
committees attention to a petit
,tion which six former officers of
the Maryland National Guard
intend to send to Gov. Theodore
lR. McKeldin.
White Facilities Called Better
This petition, Mr.. Mitchell
said, declares that the facilities
offered to Negroes in the Mary
land National Guard "are clearly
and measure bly, inferior to those
available to whites"
The petition points out, he
said, that Negroes may join only
transportation battalion in
that National Guard and that
the only unit for Negroes is in
Baltimore.
