Civil Rights Issue

Chicago CAMP 1890 Gov. Averell
Hartman OF New York, in Chica-
go last week end for a meeting of
the Democratic National Commit
tee. sidestepped a series Of ques-
tons on civil rights although he
showed no reluctance to talk n
bout other matters.
The governor was asked:
Why had he omitted any men,
ton OF civil rights in his speech at
the Democratic dinner Saturday
night after having identified him
self vigorously with the cause of
equal rights for Negroes" in a
1852 District OF Columbia Cam
paign7
Whether the Justice Depart
ment should have investigated the
Emmett Louis TIN case in Missis-
sippi, particularly to probe the
charges Of kidnapping.
Whether he intended to push for
a strong civil rights program in
the 1856 Democratic platform?
Whether he would accept sup
port OF Gov. Allen Shivers of Tex
as, in the event he should become
a candidate for President?
The quesuoner asked about the
obvious lack of reference to civil
rights in his dinner speech.
DO I have to discuss 1t every
time" Hartman asked.
Then Texas reporter inquired
IL he would vote to bar Shivers a,
next years convention. or If he
would accept Shivers' support.
These questions are so fffy,'
I'm not prepared to comment" he
said.
On the Till case, the New York
governor countered:
I'm going to talk about the
problems of New York o.. AS long
as we have discrimination in New
York State, I'm not going to point
a finger at any other state"
I'm going to write the platform
this morning" he answered.
On matters other than civil
rights. Hartman showed little
reticence. In fact. he was more
emphatic in expressing his views
on other subjects than reporter:

To Congress on
Geneva Progress

WASHINGTON, "a President
Eisenhower reported to Congress
Thursday that Russian leaders at
the summit talks in Geneva are
anxious to achieve concrete re-
suits in seeking to lessen East

Carrying out promise to keep
the lawmakers informed, the
President cabled his own obser-
vations on progress at the con-
ference to the State Department
and Vice President Nixon. These
observations, in turn, were re-
layed to top Senate and House
leaders.
Eisenhower said he is convinced
the Russians do not want the
Geneva session to end without
some accomplishment that they
and the world will regard as an
improvement.
The President was careful to
avoid forecasting quick solution
to major problems such as Ger
man unification and rearmament,
but Congress leaders who read
the report said he feels there has
been improvement Of the chances
for solving these problems.
AS evidence, Eisenhower cited
the obviously friendly attitude of
Russians at Geneva and their re-
cent moves toward interchange of
visitors and delegations.

everything possible to convince

Billy Graham
Representative
Coming to Nome

A representative of the Billy
Graham Evangelistic Films is
scheduled to be in Nome for few
days early in August. He already
has been to many places in Alaska
and is bringing with him two Of
the greatest Billy Graham films:
"Mr. Texas" and "Oiltown, u.
S.A."
The director for Alaska vista
ton is Abraham "Abe" Snavely,
who halls form Lancaster, Pa.
There has been much continued
revival in his area. He notes that
in real revival the conversation
of most of the citizens in their
daily life is about the things of
God; and also that impromtu
prayer meetings occur in many
places. Passengers in cars and
trains and many other groups feel
the freedom to sing Gospel songs
wherever they are.
Billy Graham looks for such re-
vival to occur in the Western
world, even as it is already swing
ing into full force in many parts
of Europe. He plans to be in Los
Angeles for a short while in Sep
TENDER before opening another
great 4-week crusade in Toronto.

major obstacle to merger Of the

Their choice: "The American

Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON

The ''Star Of the East" shone
brightly over Bethlehem almost
1000 years ago. Shepherds watch
ing their flocks by night were di-
rected by its light.
Wise men from the East beheld
its glory and they knew a King
had been born. Day after day they
journeyed on their camels over
the trackless wastes of sandy des-
erts, guided by the brilliant new
star.
They were bringing with them
gifts of gold, frankincense and
myrrh. The star led them to the
King of kings, and Lord Of lords.
It brought them to the source of
spiritual guidance.
Today, a star called the North
Star or Polaris, gives physical
guidance to travellers on the road
of life. At one time, the Phoeni-
clans called it the "Phoenician
STAR" because they were great
mariners on the Mediterranean
Sea. It guides fleet and caravan
over wastes Of sea and sand other
wise trackless and impossible.
Many people wandering aimlessly
in the forests have found their
bearings from this star.

Missionary Tells Of

With Chinese Reds

pa five-year ordeal Of "abom-
Unable treatment" at the hands Of
the Chinese Communists, includ-
ing torture, was described by Am
erican missionary DR.. Homer v.
Bradshaw Thursday.
'They handcuffed me, twisted
my wrists and forced me to do
strenuous physical exercise" the
missionary told a press confer
ence.
Bradshaw, "a, and his wife,
about the same age, of Pittsburgh,
Pa, arrived Wednesday from
Hong Kong after five years Of i'm
prisonment by the Chinese Reds.
Bradshaw spoke from a wheel
chair. He appeared nervous and
thin. Il lost about 43 pounds" he
said. His wife was not present.

is still uncertain of her surround
ings and there are mental impli-
cations"
They said Mrs. Bradshaw is suf-
fering more from maluntrition
than her husband. She was kept
under house arrest while her hus
band was imprisoned.
Asked what fortified his spirit
during the ordeal, Bradshaw re-
piled, 'sas a missionary, I was in
the hand of the Almighty"
Air Force physicians said the
Bradshaws probably will stay at
the base hospital for at least two
weeks before they are able to fly

Britain's Comet iii
Forced to Return
When Engine Fails

MONTREAL, RIThe Comet III,
Britain's speedy experimental jet
airliner, was forced back to Mon
treal early yesterday after taking
off for London on the last leg Of
a globe circling test flight.
The plane with IA persons
aboard, landed with one of its
four engines out after dumping
1000 gallons of fuel to minimize
the fire hazard.
John Cunningham, chief test pi-
lot for the DeHavilland Aircraft
Co. Ltd, and the planes captain,
said an investigation indicated the
trouble was caused by defective
bracket in the tailpipe of one en-
CINE. He speculated that the IS
below-zero weather in which the
plane took off, followed by the jet
heat, might have caused the de-
feet in the bracket.
A complete check was ordered
and British air officials in London
said the plane probably would not
get home until after Christmas. A
spokesman added the damaged en-
CINE probably would be changed.
The Comet III is a prototype of
DeHavilland's Comet w, with
which Britain hopes to take lead
in the worlds aviation industry.
