Israel's people, you hold on to freedom with

That is the way he will hold on. He will

Catholic Prelate Calls
For Defense OF NAACP

NEW YoRK-"The time has
come for law-abiding citizens
of the United States to rally
to the defense of the NAACP
in those states where its very
right to existence as an or
ganization is being challenged
not merely by private indivi-
duals but by government it.

c. Higgins of the National
Catholic Welfaree Conference
in a feature article released
by the Catholic Interracial
Council here this week.
Citing the attacks upon
the Association since the
United States Supreme Court
anti-segregation ruling of May
II, 1854, Msgr. Higgins charges
that "thoSe states which are
trying to outlaw the organiza-
ton by administrative ruling
or by legislative flat are
clearly violating one of the
most fundamental principles
of the natural law in the field
of political action.
That principle, he asserts,
"is the freedom of association.
which is given to men not
by government but by the
very law of nature itself and
which may not legitimately
be ia ken away from them
by government"
The aCtholic leader, who is
director of the social action
department of the NCWC,
warns "that any government
which violates this principle
of freedom of association :
for whatever reasons of politi-
cal expediency local preju-
dice is taking the first step
down the road that leads all
too quickly to the violation
OF other human rights and

MR.. EISENHOWER has been

Lincoln, Teddy. FDR, and Tru-

Knowland said today he believes

fair to good" box score on its
legislative proposals when Con-
gress winds up its session this
week.
Senator Knowland and other
Republican congressional leaders
discussed the outlook for the
final few days of this session of

hover at the White House this
morning.
The Republican leaders came
out with a list Of 10 important
bills on which they still nope
for congressional action. ,

fair to good" but would have
been much better if Republicans
were in control of Congress.
The Senator told reporters he
explained to Mr.. Eisenhower the
parliamentary situation which
makes action on civil rights leg
islation practically hopeless at
this stage of the session.
Prolonged debate on civil rights
now, he said, could tie up all
other measures and might cause
the administration to lose a great
deal of important legislation.
Senator Knowland advised that
the only way to meet the ever
present threat of a Southern
Democratic filibuster on civil
rights legislation in the Senate
is for Republicans to be in con-
troll Of the committees SO such
legislation can be brought up
early in a session.

candidate in 1914 and 1913, said
ITS settled that Nixon is going
to be renominated, and he has
done a great job as Vice Presi-
dent"
Paul G. Hoffman, a member OF
the party's liberal wing, who was
recently named a United States
delegate to the United Nations,
said, MY assumption has been
that Dick Nixon would be nomi-
mated almost by acclaim" Mr..
Hoffman denied "emphatically''
reports that he was one of the
men backing Mr.. StaSsen's Her
ter boom.
Jacob X. Javits, New York
State attorney general, said the
New York convention delega-
ton is on record as favoring the
Presidents choice of a running
mate and will accord the same
unanimity of support to Vice
President Nixon"
IN Mr.. Stassen's interview to-
day, the disarmament adviser
raised a point which had not
previously been discussed pub
licly by a leading Republican.
This was the matter of Mr..
Eisenhower's health and its pos
sible effect on the November
election returns.
Mr.. Stassen said that after
the Presidents ileitis operation
June 8, I'VE made new survey
and checked the opinion of the
people, and we do find this a
very definite factor - that an
Eisenhower Herter ticket would
run much stronger-6 per cent
or more-it would mean more
Republican Senators and Re-
publican Congressman and
would mean the difference be-
tween majority and minority"
The question of what Presi-
dent Eisenhower said when Mr..
Stassen mentioned the Herter-
for Vice-President plan to him
last Friday came up in the in
terview today. Though Mr..
Stassen did not answer directly
Il never report what the Pres
ident says in any of my discus
sionS with him"-ne indicated
that Mr.. Eisenhower raised no
strong objection.
rs it fair to assume that If
on Friday the President has
asked you not to do this, you
would not have done it?" he
was asked.
Il have often said that in four
years ! have never knowingly
done a thing that the President
wanted me not to do" Mr.. Stas-
sen replied.

practical point of view there was

action on the House-passed civil

Eisenhower wants.
Mr.. Eisenhower also still hopes
for Senate action on a bill rails
ing postal rates, but Senator
Knowland had to tell him that
there is some doubt" whether
it can be got out of committee.

scribed the President as looking

Democratic nominee?" Pro-
Eisenhower respondents thu n
were asked, "Given a choice be-
tween Richard Nixon and Chris
tian Herter, which one would
you prefer as the vice presi-
dental candidate?"
t OF those expressing an opin-
ion, the poll showed:
Nixon ---------- 1875 per ceni
Herter -------- 16.5 per cent
Roughly one-fourth of those
queried expressed no opinion.
Regionally, Mr.. Nixon was
strongest in the Middle West
1888 per cent? and South (87.8

Far West (79.D and East Gid.
In all regions he was at least a
