Times Are Changing: A LOOK
Magazine jury of sports writers in
a poll voted Jack Johnson the
greatest heavyweight boxing
champion in ring history. Time
was that many an otherwise good
sports and boxing writer would be
afraid to give lii Artha" credit
for his ring ability because Of his
great unpopularity with American
majority opinion because he dared
to marry a CauCasion woman.
Everything is politics these
days. Rapier minded but womanly
sweet Crystal Bird Fauset, for
mer Democratic leader, now a
Citizens for Eisenhower leader
was in the Twin Cities this week
throwing oratorical brickbats at
Stevenson and KefqlIyer
Bill" Dawson, the tough mind
ed Chicago Congressman came,
saw, and conquered for Stevenson
and Kefauver Sunday past and put
in some nice plugs for continuance
Of the DFL administration in the
state.
Dawson had them cheering,
applauding and laughing at his
st. Paul meeting which occurred
after dinner in his honor at
Chef Oden's Roadbuddy Cafe.
Next political headliner headed
this way to drum up support for
the Demos is Detroit Congressman

Val ]. Washington, whom the
Ramsey County Republicans are
bringing to Pilgrim Baptist
church for a speech on Thursday,
Oct. 25. This meeting is being
planned by the committee headed
by John (CiWl Rights Culver,
the fighting St Paul fireman,
COP vet George Wills and others.
In the meantime the Minnesota
Republicans are organizing TO put
on a big show for Eisenhower
when he comes to the cities next
Tuesday, oct. IS. Contingents of
Republican supporters Of Ike from
all over the state will converge on
the cities and have been assigned
places along the line Of the motor
cade TO make sure that the COP
candidate gets a roaring reception
on the entire motorCade route.
The Repubs have outdone the
Demos on their street parade
motorcade crowd organizing all
over the country. They are aided
Of course, by the natural desire
Of American crowds TO see
President personally, no matter
Of what political party.
Some Of the thousands will
come 10 see how the President
looks since his two serious i'll
nesses and others just because they
are plain interested in seeing an
American chief executive.
The president Of an important
Negro college, in Minneapolis
seeking funds from an industrial
list, was quite frank In saying he
had never heard Of a local Negro
leader who has begged a consider
able amount Of money for Negro
schools and causes from said
business man.
Result was that the prexy got
nothing for his trip here except
suggestion that it's a good thing

sional Committee on Atomic

headed by Robert Mckinney,

90 At the highest level. it
also is openly admitted that safe

cidents are far from complete.
90 The question of insurance
to cover damage in the event
of accidents is way up in the
air-which is one reason. ex-
perts agree. that the program
has been so dreadfully slowed up.
"a And the question of the
right" location for private

air. Some powerful Senators
have made it clear they'll fight
strongly against location Of
power producing reactors near
populated areas at this stage of
the development of atomic
energy.

$500 Million
g. E. Debentures
To Test Market

NEW YORK, May IA (P.-
Wall Street investment circles
predicted today that the massive
issue of $500 million of General
Electric Co. 20-year debentures
will carry a 312 per cent coupon
and be priced to the public at
1902 to yield BAT per cent.
The public offering is slated
for tomorrow via a Nationwide
syndicate of underwriters, man
aged by Morgan Stanley g. Co.
and Goldman Sachs e. Co.
The issue ranks with one for a
similar amount f1oated by Gen.
eral Motors Corp. in December,
1858, as the largest block of COR
porate debt securities ever I'M
derwritten for public distribu-
ton.
1t will be the first public sale
of G. E. securities in SO years.
The company will use the pro-
ceeds to pay off $138 million of
bank loans and for general cor
porate purposes.
The mammoth offering is
viewed as a test Of the corporate
new financing market.

feeling in my stomach as I
opened the paper at breakfast
the other day and read the
front-page announcement that
the Atomic Energy Commission
had given the go-ahead signal
for the construction of the Ma

vate atomic power plants-one
about 40 miles north of New
York City. the other about so
miles southwest of Chicago.

raising facts about the way
Americas private atom power
program has been brought to
near-paralysis by basic argu-

involved. over the way to provide
adequate insurance in case of
accidents. over whether the
plants should be permitted near

stricted to isolated spots.
The Aces granting of the per-

plants presumably means our

at last getting off the ground.
