(P.-Democratic National Chair
man Paul M. Butler today &C
cused President Eisenhower Of
abandonment of leadership" in
an effort to remain popular.
Truly it can be said of Dwight
Eisenhower that he would rather
be popular than be the dynamic
civilian leader Of the American
people," Butler asserted in a
speech prepared for an inter-
collegiate mock Democratic con-
vention at Harvard University.
Mr.. Butler said Mr.. Eisen-
hover has refused to run the
risk of diminishing his popular
ity by calling upon our Nation
to make the further financial
sacrifices necessary to our ade-
quate national defense"
Cites Russian Gains
The Democratic chiefta said
the President "lulls us to sleep
by telling us our defenses are
adequate. while the fact is that
the Russians are pulling ahead
of us every day"
In race relations. Mr.. Butler
said Mr.. Eisenhower refuses to
provide the kind of leadership
required to bring together
thoughtful leaders on both sides
to consider ways and means of
easing the tensions" and bring
ing about necessary adjustments.

.VFW OfficioI Hits
Press 'Inuccurucy'
By the Associated Press

A spokesman for the Veterans
of Foreign Wars says the Ameri-
can press is mot resorting to
accuracy or the facts" in stories
about veterans benefits.
Omar B. Ketchum, the VFWs
Legislative director. spoke heat
edly yesterday to the House Vet
Grams Affairs Committee about
what he called unfair press
treatment of veterans organiza-
tons and programs.
Mr.. Ketchum was testifying in
general opposition to the recon-
mendations of President Eisen-
hower's Commission on Veterans
Benefits.
The commission, headed by
Gen. Omar N. Bradley. has told
Mr.. Eisenhower some payments
for service-connected disabilities
should be increased. but that
nonservice connected pensions
should be cut out gradually as
social security and other well
fare programs grow.
I'VE strongly suspect the prin-
cipal value of the Bradley COM
mission report is to provide
Roman holiday for that portion
Of the daily press which is either
cynical or openly hostile toward
veterans benefits" Mr.. Ketchum
said.
He took particular exception
to what he said were editorial
references in two great Ameri-
can newspapers" to professional
veterans in the WV and Amer
lean Legion. He did not name
the NEWSPAPERS.

SaySegregation
On Buses Legal

MONTGOMERY, Ala, May IL
R1.-Two members of a three
judge Federal Court panel. hear
ing an attack on Montgomery
city and Alabama State bus seq
regation laws, said they didn't
think the United States Supreme
Court has outlawed interstate
bus segregation.
Their comments from the
bench came yesterday during
closing arguments on a suit by
four Montgomery Negro women.
The judges gave no indica-
ton when they would announce
a decision. saying. This is an
important case and will be stud
led and deliberated." They had
been asked for an injunction
against enforcement of the mu-
Inicipal and State bus segrega-
Ition laws and to declare the laws
unconstitutional.
Their decision is expected to
be appealed directly to the Su-
preme Court and might result in
the first clear-cut decision on the
separate but equal doctrine on
Iintrastate buses.
On April % the high tribunal
sent back to lower courts a case
involving city buses in Columbia
S. c.
Some attorneys interpreted the
refusal to hear the case as a
decision against interstate bus
segregation, but others thought
it only procedural move re-
quiring final disposition of the
case in lower courts before COM
ing before the Supreme Court.
One Judge Silent
Judge Richard T. Rives of the
Fifth United States Circuit Court
of Appeals, presiding at yester-
days flve-hour hearing. said he
didn't conStrue the April % &C
ton as a decision on the merits
of bus segregation.
District Judge Seyboura Lynne
of the Northern District OF Ala
bama agreed. There was no
comment from the third Judge,
District Judge Frank M. john
son, jr., of the Middle District of
Alabama.
City Attorney Walter Knabe
and Alabama Assistant Attorney
General Gordon Madison also
lconcurred. But Robert Carter
New York Negro attorney for the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People
insisted the separate but equal
doctrine has been overturned
by the Supreme Court in every
other field and possibly in intra-
