Son of Rhee's Foe
Is Election Winner

SEOUL, Aug. "a (P.-A son
Of Syngman Rhee's strongest
opponent in the recent presiden-
tial election - the late Patrick
Henry Shinicky - has won his
fathers National Assembly seat
in an emotion-packed election.
The elder Mr.. Shinicky died Just
before the presidential election
but his name on the ballot drew
a heavy vote.
Final returns from Kwangju,
home district of the former head
OF the opposition party, gave Mr..
Shinicky's son, Shin va Kyeen,
a slim winning edge over the
candidate from President Rhee's
Liberal Party. Mr.. Shin will
serve the remaining two years
OF his fathers legislative term.
The Democrats drafted the
38-year-old Mr.. Shin, who
teaches Chinese at the Foreign
Language College in Seoul, and
put UP their biggest guns to
stump for him. The Liberals
also staged a lively campaign
with the help Of leading party
members. and newspapers called

Catholics
Give Nod
To NAACP

Washington, d. c. (CNS). The
NAACP has not only a right TO
seek its detectives but their OBJ
jectives are not in question, de-
clared The Very Rev. Msgr. George
o. Higgins in a syndicated state
ment TO the Catholic press. He
urged, too, all law-abiding citizens
to come TO the defense of the
NAACP in those states where its
existence is under attack.
Msgr. Higgins declared that
those Southern state governments
who are trying to outlaw the
NAACP because of its activities
against segregation are clearly
violating one of the most funda-
mental principles Of the natural
law. That principle is the free.
dom of association which is given
TO men not by government but by
the very law of nature itself and
which may not be legitimately
taken away from them by govern
ment."

COP Edge Will Be Thinner
In The November veting
BY Edgar M. Mills

Augusta, maine
Maine voters still like Ike" and
will give him a big plurality in
November. However, up to one
in 20 who backed him in 1852 may
desert him this year.
The majority of President Eli
senhower's Maine supporters are
still highly enthusiastic about him,
despite the failure of many of
them to heed his urging to back
him with an all-Republican con-
gressional delegation and a Re-
publican Governor.
These are impressions gained
from interviews with scores Of
Maine voters to determine the
meaning of the heavily Democratic
outcome of the Pine Tree states
September 10 state election, first
in the nation.

sides of the City Charter story
aired at the YWCA.
The vote favored the new

Owens pointed out that "once
the League takes a stand on an

that particular issue" She con

to-education bills-an amendment
requiring Withholding of federal
funds from all segregated schools
and generally spelling the defeat
of all such legislation in the past.
The President has opposed this
move, but Mr.. Powell indicated
that he and the Chief Executive
had discussed a compromise on this
issue, one which the President
seemed to like"
Maryland Wstehed
While the Negro vote is general
ly found in the Democratic
column, there are some indications
that the ending of racial segrega.
ton in the District of Columbia
may prove helpful in turning
Maryland voters to the COP.
This is attributed to the states
proximity to the nations capital,
and to the fact that school de
segregation has been accomplished
there under Republican leadership.
Republican Party leaders will
follow the new Powell movement
closely II represents the first
sign of any break in what has ap-
peared to be a consistent trend of
1862 Democratic boilers back to
their own political ranks.
The way in which both parties
have tiptoed around the civil
rights issue so far has given it
little persuasive prominence in the
campaign. How much the Powell
bolt will do TO persuade Negroes
that the Republican Party will do
more for them on that score than
the Democrats is not yet clear.
skepfieism In Harlem
There is said to be some skep-
tieism on this score in Harlem,
where it is expected that influ-
ential Democratic leaders win
keep voters in line on the local
level, and COP antisegregation
policies on the national level may
make little impression.
The Negro congressman has not
made up his mind whom to sup
port for the Senate in New York.
he said Jacob X. Javits, State At
torney General, the Republican
candidate, and Mayor Robert F.
Wagner of New York City, the
Democratic nominee, both are
excellent men,"
There Is no question about the
White House staffs delight with
the Powell switch. They are con-
fident K will mean many votes
for the President. Il also was
evident that they had no advance
notice of what Mr.. Powell was go

Meeting Is
Switched To

By Clarence 4. R. Nelson

Cincinnati, Ohio - The first ma
tional meeting of chairmen of An
nual Conference Teleyision, Radio
and Film Commissions of The
Methodist Church, which was held
here at the Sheraton-Gibson Hotel,
October Oil, was changed from
Nashville, Tenn, to provide equal
and complete accommodations for
all members of the group in sccor-
dance with the General Conference
ruling that national meetings con-
Quoted by the denominations gen.
eral agencies should be held in
cities where all delegates will re-
ceive equal accommodations re-
gardless of race.
Special arrangements had been
made in a Nashville hotel, where
the meeting was to have been
held, providing for interracial
luncheons and dinners, and for in
terracial meetings in ball room
and committee rooms. Separate
toilet facilities were to have been
provided for the Negro members
of the group in the hotel, with the
use of a special elevator or stair
way to committee rooms.
The Central (Negro) Jurisdic-
tiona delegates were to have been
housed at Fisk University with
some of the white delegates.
The change in the meeting place
was effected within a few hours
after a protest had been made by
the Rev. C. Anderson Davis, pastor
of the John Stewart Methodist
Church, Bluefield, West Virginia,
home Of one of the delegates.
The change Of the meeting place
from Nashville, the headquarters
of the Television, Radio and Film
Commission, to Cincinnati cost the
commission approximately $500
extra, and prevented the confer
enee chairman from seeing the
studio production facilities of the
commission in Nashville.

asserted in spelling out the uni

sought the meeting with the

university's stand on racial dis

nouncement that Harvard Uni

taken because of legislation re
