His position differs little on
this subject from that Of Sem
ator Kefauver. But the word
has gone out. that the South
will take Stevenson--and that
it will not take Kefauver. Ke-s
fauver and his supporters re-
sent this very much. Kefauver's
difficulty, so far as the con-
sentative Democrats of the
South are concerned. lies in
the fact he is considered q
New Dealer and Fair Dealer,
and therefore alien to this part
of the country, even though he
is. himself. a Southerner. Four
years ago. Senator Russell of
Georgia, an active candidate
for the Democratic presiden-
tial nomination, defeated Ke-
fauver in Florida'S presidential
primary, and it was the old
line Democrats and so-called
wool hats" in the rural COM
munities who gave Russell his
victory.
Kefauver Needs Florida II
Florida is the only Southern
State in which Kefauver and
Stevenson clash directly in a
primary election this year. 1t
has become a desperate need
for Kefauver to win this race
to prove that he has strength
in the Southland he is leav-
ing no stone unturned in his
drive for victory.
This is one reason why Ke-
fauver has fiercely resented q
statement made by Gov. Mil
lard Caldwell in introducing
Stevenson for speech in Tai
lahassee-that Kefauver is an
''integrationist" and a "syco-
plant" for Negro votes.
Truly, the path of these two
competing candidates for the
Democratic nomination has
been a tough one here. Steven
son is striving to hold on to
Southern support in the COM
ing national convention. At
the same time he is seeking
to retain his Northern support.
Up to the present. he seems
to be walking the civil rights
tightrope with considerable
success. He has been able to
win the Endorsement of the
Americans for Democratic Acc
ton, regarded with no favor
in the South, and at the same
time to receive kind words
from former Gov. Herman.
Talmadge of Georgia, who is
violently opposed to desegre-
cation. That is really an ac-
complishment. Talmadge, in
answer to question, said he
could vote for Stevenson if he
becomes the Democratic NOM
inee.
One political strategist in
Miami said he thought Kefau-
yer had missed bet-that he
should have come out strongly
for indignation. not to carry
the Florida primary, but to
gain strength for the CALI
fornia primary June S.. This
Democratic leader said it was !,
pretty clear Kefauver was not
likely to get the support OF
Southern delegates at the
national convention, and he
might as well concentrate on
those from the North and
West.

On q White CHARGER

AS a former member of the
Department of State, directly
concerned with the depart
ment's public relations work in
securing support for renewal
of the Trade Agreements Act
of 1945, I feel that I must
mount my white horse and
don my plumed hat and ride
out to defend the State De-
partment and the League Of
Women Voters from the at
tack made by Mr.. Stackbein
in your issue of May 81, 1856.
In commenting on a letter
in your issue of May IA from
Mrs. Henry Munroe, president
of the League of Women Vot-
ers Of the District, Mr.. Stack
bein took her to task for the
remarks she made on the OTC
bill (HR $500 which is now
before Congress. Mr.. Stack
bein implies that the support
of OTC comes largely from
a few ladies' societies such as
the League Of Women Voters,
whose knowledge Of the legis-
lation is strictly indirect and
mostly academic and theo-
retical in character" He goes
on to say that these groups
have been consciously courted
and coaxed by the Depart
ment of State to do its bid
ding
: AS Mrs. Munroe very rightly
pointed out in her letter, the
delay in securing congressional
action on this bill is due to
the opposition Of "a few BUSH
ness groups" Mr.. Stackbein
happens to be the spokesman
Of the "few business groups"
Speaking with such authority.
Mr.. Stackbein amazes me that
he would dismiss the activities

United Giving, published on
May Is in The Star, several
things should be clarified:
Cd The campaign cost of
the Community Chest Fedora
ton drives in the Washing
ton Metropolitan Area over
the last six years has averaged
10 per cent, whereas other
independent drives have aver
aged Is per cent to Is per cent.
90 Considerable expert
mentation and education in
pledged or budgeted giving has
been going on for the past two
years in several areas.
go The one-package drive
has been successfully used in
one or two Government agen-
cies in the past year.
Many of us who have been
involved in the residential
volunteer effort to raise the
privately given funds either
for Community Chest and/or
the many individual drives
would like to see unification
in fund raising in the Metro
politan Area. To this end, for
example. the Residential Unit
of the Montgomery County
Chest and Council recon-
rnended last January that it,
be considered for inclusion in
a united drive this fall.
AS residential volunteers, we
recognize the need for more
agencies to come in to a United
Givers Fund to make such a
drive successful. We also rec
ognize the responsibility on the
part of the United Givers Fund
to do its utmost to attract
agencies that have hitherto
had successful independent
drives. Mr.. McClure's point in
suggesting that many different
kinds of people experienced in
welfare and Embarrassing &C
Invites in the community be
admitted to the council is well
taken. Only through open dis
cuSSion of varying points of
view can the United Givers
Fund hope to achieve its goal
of attracting widespread men,
bership for fund raising.
For the residential volun-
teer. however, the fact remains
that once-a-year solicitation,
based on pledged giving, would
be a blessing in time, energy
and shoe leather saved.

that young people who have not

Mr.. Clark plans to present his
proposed resolution at the next
regular Council meeting August
81. He was unable to gain en-
trance to a closed meeting Mon
day night.
The mans troubles began last
Thursday during the morning
rush hour when, with Mrs. Clark
driving alone on Takoma's busy
Carroll Avenue, the left rear tire
went flat.
She nosed the car toward the
curb, in a no parking zone, and
walked to her home at 1908 Cen
trail Avenue to phone a service
station. When she returned she
saw the car being hauled away
"by a red tow truck"
Eventually she located the
CARTS rear tire ripped-at the
Takoma Park police station. She
was told Takoma Motor Com
pany had pulled in the car on po-
lice orders. She was charged S.
towing fee.
When Mr.. Clark saw the ruined
tire he complained and Police
Chief Samuel A. Foster launched
an investigation.
Chief Foster says the tow-truck
operator, Clarence Thomas, did
not know the tire was flat when
he began towing the Hudson.
After the tow-truck had gone
about block the police officer
checking the traffic jam noticed
the flat, caught the Takoma Mo-
tor vehicle, and informed the
driver, says the Chief.
Mr.. Foster says the policeman
and the driver inspected the tire
and found it to be smooth as a
bald mans head" The chief says
they decided to continue tow
ing the car on the flat.
Melvin Kidwell, service man.
ager at Takoma Motors says Mr..
Clark has asked for new tire
free. The manager says he will
await the outcome of Chief Fos-
ter's investigation before deciding
whether or not to replace the tire.
Chief Foster says Mr.. Clark
has agreed the tire was mo good"
before the flat.
The police head points out, "If
a car is a traffic hazard we can
tow it away, even on a flat, and
not be held liable"
