Moves 10 Issue
Rights Protest
6-Point Resolution
On Issues Offered
State Convention
By ALEX r. PRESTON
Star Stan Correspondent

ROANOKE, Va, July 21.-
Mindful of the fall congressional
campaigns, Virginia Republicans
today. prepared to join their
Democratic brethren in protest
ling President Eisenhower's civil
rights program.
A six-point resolution which
has as its main theme a protest
against both the civil rights
legislation and the Supreme
Courts public school segregation
decision was offered to the G. @
p. State convention today.
Sponsors were from the Sd,
4th and 9th congressional dis
ItrictS.
William Siple, one of the
patrons of the measure, said,
I'VE are anxious that the Re-
publican Party take a sound and
|staunch position following the
action of the Virginia General
Assembly passing a resolution Of
interposition."
State Sovereignty Stressed
The interposition measure
adopted by the predominantly
Democratic Legislature protested
the Supreme Courts school seq
regation decision as an invasion
of State sovereignty.
1--WE who sponsored this reso-
luton" Mr.. Siple said, were
convinced that we had to speak
out on this issue, specially since
our two Republican Congressman
have signed the Southern mani
festoes.
Both Representatives Broyhill
| of the Tenth District, next to
Washington, and Representative
Poff of the Sixth District joined
a bloc of Southern lawmakers in
protesting the Supreme Court
decision and the Eisenhower civil
rights legislation now pending in
Congress.
His group, Mr.. Siple said, has
attempted to show Virginians,
especially Democrats who voted
for Eisenhower in 80, that 1--WE
are no different than other Vir-
ginians where the question OF
civil rights is concerned"
Believed Virginians' Viewpoint
I'VE don't anticipate the reso-
lutions committee will kill this
resolution because it expresses
the viewpoint of nearly all Vir-
ginians," he said.
Mr.. Siple said he did not re-
| gard the resolution as direct
move to oppose the President.
He acknowledged that the meas
ure is opposed to the views of
Attorney General Brownell and
added, "Brownell represents the
views of New York while we
speak for Virginia"
I'VE assume the President has
a very temperate view of this
entire letter and that his adj
viserS have taken a more extreme
position Mr.. Siple declared
THE resolution is designed SOLE
ly to maintain Republic a n
strength in Virginia"
There were indications, how
ever, that a watered-down pro-
test might emerge from the con-
vention by the time it adjourns
this evening.

The Prince Georges County

on a $13 million bond sale il
they offer only half in the fall
and the rest a few months later
The suggestion was given to
the county heads in HyattSville
yesterday by two men who have
completed a one-week, cost-free
study of the county's financial
status. They are Carl C. Frech,
of Alex Brown & Sons, and S.
Page Nelson. jr., of the Mercan-
tile Safe Deposit & Trust Co.,
both of Baltimore.
The county's credit rating is
good. but $13 million is a pretty
big wallop," Mr.. Frech told the
Board of Commissioners.
The major drawback to a
better credit rating is the COM
plexity of the county's govern
ment from a financial stand.

vestigators. They cited the guar

report suggested the county

Figure Not Binding
The Z per cent margin is a
figure followed by some bankers
but is in no way binding on the
county, Mr.. Kahler said.
The Commissioners postponed
a decision on how the bonds
would be sold. Included in the
sale would be SO million to build

Retreats Promise
Not to Run Again

/
BALTIMORE, May 4.-George
P. Mahoney, in a speech lash
ing out at communism. last
night urged Maryland voters MOI
to send to the Senate a mar
who is going to pussyfoot about
this Communist situation"
The Democratic senatorial
candidate also retracted a former
statement that if he lost this
time he would not run again.
You'll either make me Sen.
ator or make the end of me-" he
said of Mondays primary.
But I'm not promising any
thing absolute about the future
I'm going to do as I please and
as you tell me to do. Some OF
the country's greatest men have
run unSuccessfully many times.
Mr.. Mahoney, labeled q
party wrecker" by his politica,
enemies. has failed in three pre-
viouS attempts to seek the
governorship or a seat in the
Senate.
Asks Free Poland
Speaking before big crowds ir
Polish and Bohemian sectors Of
the city here, he called on the
Russians to free the peoples OF
Poland. Czechoslovakia and the
Baltic States"
Then, he said, he would be
willing to sit down and talk with
them
1--WE need some true Amer
leans in the Senate who will
stand up and be counted on the
Communist ISSUE" Mr.. Mahoney
yelled.
At a rally at the Polish Home
Hall in South Baltimore, other
speakers attacked Mr.. Ma
honey'S chief opponent, Willard
E. Tydings, for "sloughing of
the Communist issue" and as an
enemy of labor.
One of the major issues in Mr.
Tydings' 1850 defeat was his
claim that Senator McCarthy's
Communist in Government
charges were "a fraud and a
hoax"
Mr.. Mahoney last night said he
would always be suspicious of the
Reds until they free the satellite
countries.
Mr.. Mahoney said the United
States had let itself be painted
as defenders of colonialism in
Asia and Africa"
THE irony of 1t is that the
nation responsible for spreading
this SANDER against us is the
Soviet Union, the greatest colo
NAL power of modern times"
Attacks Big BUSINESS
Mr. Mahoney. whose chances
of getting the Democratic sena-
torial nomination took an up
ward swing last night in the city
as financial difficulties were re-
ported in the Tydings camp
again attacked big business. The
major corporations, he said, were
planning to cut the laborers'
work week land salaries accord
Iingly."
Il am going to fight for tax
relief for the little man and let
the top take care of themselves, "
he said.
He again promised to fight for
lowering the pension age for
women under social security to
go years.

Romance

Horse racing, Bill Yeager
decided, is more tn a n
wagering. There's romance,
too, behind the scenes. So
he's started something that
in a few short days has
piqued the interest of race
tracks all over the country.
Mr.. Yeager is the man
who sees to it that people
know about the bangtails at
Laurel. During the current
meeting, he's set up a couple
of acknowledgements tours
for anybody who's interested
in seeing what goes on to get
ready for the races. The first
was held last Saturday and
the second one will be to-
morrow.
The visitors see how
horses are trained to break
from the starting gate, how
the jockeys live, how and
when the horses are fed and
what they eat, and how the
trainers handle them. Tracks
over the country have spo-
radically allowed visitors in
to see famous horses, but as
far as Mr.. Yeager knows,
this is the first concerted at
tempt to show il all. Since
the word has spread, he's
been virtually flooded with
inquiries from other tracks.
