BY BAILEE THOMAS

At least two Negro employees,
one a young woman and the other
a man have been noticed in the
top-night grocery chain, the Red
Owl Stores recently. The first EN-
ployee went to work several weeks
ago at the Red Owl on Nicollet
near 10th. The young woman is a
checker at the Red Owl on Lake
near Hiawatha.
Bailee understands the Mime
apolis Urban League conferred
with the Red Owl people and
made possible the openings. The
League has made no statement
about the matter, but Bailee has
eyes and ears.

Clark, speaking from S. c., sug-

Gen. Alfred M, Gruenther flew
into Washington Friday to discuss
NATO manpower commitments
with President Eisenhower. While
the NATO commander would not
reveal just what he expects to re-
port to the President. Mr.. Eisen-
hover at his Wednesday press con-
ference had said he expected a
general review" of the situation.
The NATO force level question
has been at issue here since the
first reports were officially con-
f1rmed that manpower cuts were
being considered in United States
ground forces. There has been no
figure disclosed as yet on the prob
able extent of the reductions. But
the President as we'll as top mill
tary leaders have repeatedly cited
developments in new weapons and
nuclear air power. These advances
have been so extensive as to make
huge ground forces unnecessary.

Building the Platform

On the subject of a civil rights
plank, it appeared that both Mr..
Stevenson and Mr. Hartman held
similar views and that neither was
in complete agreement with Mr..
Truman. The former President said
that he thought the party would
do well by adopting either the 1948
or the 1852 civil rights plank. Mr..
Hartman all along has insisted
that a strong statement of civil
rights policy, including vow to
stand behind the Supreme Court
indignation ruling, ought to be in
the platform. And on Tuesday,
Mr.. Stevenson stirred the South
erners with his demand for strong
plank expressing "unequivocal APP
proval" of The courts decision.
Yesterday was the final day for
presenting pleas and protests to
the Platform Committee The COM
pleted document, which usually is
all but filed and forgotten after
election day, will be ready for the
floor tomorrow or Tuesday.
Proponents and opponents of a
forceful and unequivocal civil rights
plank were heard at length through
the week. and by last night there
was the possibility of two minority
opinions accompanying the finished
platform to the floor. This was re-
garded as highly likely if the COM
mittee adopts a moderate" civil

No. 2 Spot Wide Open

Regardless of however intense
the struggle may be for the presi-

candidate.
Senators John Kennedy of Mas

dates for the No. spot. and Sem
ator Kefauver was known to be a

Mr.. Stevenson is reported as feeling
that any one of these, or Mayor
Robert Wagner of New York, would
fill the bill. All have their strong
points as well as some political
encumbrances.

Treaty StoIemote

The optimism repeatedly felt by
Japanese Foreign Minister Mamoru
Shigemitsu had evaporated last
week. Negotiations in Moscow for
a Japanese-Soviet peace treaty
were stalemated. and no date had
been set for further talks.
In last-ditch effort to salvage
the parleys. Mr.. Shigemitsu re-
quested and received an interview
with Communist Party Secretary
Khrushchev and Premier Bulganin.
But the Commute meeting pro-
duced nothing.
The major roadblock to success
of the negotiations was the abso-
lutte refusal of the Russians to re-
linquish their hold on the two
southernmost islands of the Kurile
chain, off Hokkaido.
Mr.. Shigemitsu says gloomily he
expects to sign treaty without the
land concessions perhaps this week.

Strike on Cyprus

Greek Cypriots staged a two-day
general strike on strife-torn Cyprus
this week. The walkout was called
as protest after the British forces
had executed three young Cypriots
for terrorism" in the shootings Of
British soldier and a Turkish
Cypriot policeman.
The strike was called off yester-
day by Greek Cypriot EOKA Union
with Greece) leaders.
Despite the tension during the
strike, there was no sudden increase
in the continuing sporadic out
breaks of violence. The toll last
week in attacks and ambushes was
four killed and three wounded. All
the victims were Cypriot civilians.
One British soldier is missing.
Negotiations between Cypriot
leaders and British authorities re-

have insisted that condition for
further talks must be the release
of Archbishop Makarios, exiled to
the lonely Seychelles Islands by
Britain last March.

Interesting Viewing

The announcement that "Harry'S
for Hartman" at least promised
some interesting hours for televi-
sion viewers this week. Prospects
for lively Democratic convention
had dimmed with each new for
ward surge of Stevenson strength.
While Mr.. Humans action may
have promised more open, more
lively convention, it by no means
promised Mr.. Hartman the nomi-
nation. The size of the headlines
and the volume of hoopla given to
Mr.. Trumar'S announcement might
easily have led stranger to Ameri-
can politics to assume that the
nominating process had been left
to one man. But the truth recog-
nized by all party pros-and
especially those in the Stevenson
camp-is that the former President
is more popular than he is power
full in his party. Mr.. Truman is
loved more as symbol than as an
influence. To the Democrats, he is
living proof that victory can be
Snatched from defeat, that high
riding Republicans can be un-
horsed. They love him for the hope
he offers. rather than for the ad-
vice he offers.
Mr.. Stevenson seemed too close
to victory last week to be turned
back, even by Mr.. Truman. The
former Illinois Governor, according
to a mid-week Associated Press tab
ulation. could count on 1922 con-
vention votes of the $685. needed
to nominate. This compared with
Gov. Harriman's 1852 votes. The
AP tabulation shows also that Mr..
Hartman was near his peak pre-
convention strength, for while he
picked up only 29l2 pledges after
Senator Kefauver quit the race, Mr..
Stevenson added 9ll2 to his total.
Unpledged delegates who lean to-
ward Mr.. Stevenson, plus favorite-
