to the matter of desegregation. He
stated that such a stand appears
painfully cautious in the wake
of expressed determination on the
part of the southern states to pre-
serve the status quo at all COSTS"
and, as he pointed out to Senator
Kefauver and Governor Hartman,
"such a policy of gradualism has
already been in effect for almost
a century,"
To Senator Kefauver and Cover
nor Hartman, Diggs stated, "Ne-
groes are not unappreciative of the
elevation of their standards caused
by the economic policies of the
Democratic party. They are inter-
ested, however, in fortifying and
improving their conditions through
legislative mandates insuring them
equal opportunities and are dis
mayed when past incomplete gains
are held up in seeming reproach for
their continued struggle towards
this goal"
Diggs called for coordination on
the part of the leadership of both
Houses of Congress and the Demo-
cratic National Committee to back
up party candidates with effective
legislative announcements and
program. He chided the principal
Democratic presidential contend
ers for lacking the Truman cour-
age" in stating their position mill
family with respect to civil rights,
pointing out that the former Chief
Executives southern losses in 1948
were more than amply compen-
stated by other segments Of the
population. He further cautioned
that presentation of the forceful
civil rights legislative program
soon anticipated from the Eisen-
hover administration would "com-
pletely out-distance action taken
by the principal Democratic aspir-
ants for the highest office in our
land"

ministration and the Congressional
Republicans together have merged
to erect q massive blockade to
progress over the last three years,
while pursuing policies which have
vastly speeded up the entrench-
ments and enrichment of special
interests"
A feature of the "GOP's 1866 re-
form in the farm area" according
to the Democratic Digest, lis that
all the attractive Republican in
novations are borrowed from their
political opponents.
1.-THE Administrators soil bank
program, for instance, is similar
to an acreage reserve plan which
Democrats twice proposed in 1866,
and which the Administration op-
posed each time. The new soil
bank proposals are actually a re-
vival of a program conducted just
before World War II under the
1886 Soil Conservation mad Do
nestle Allotment Act as amended in
1888, in the Roosevelt Administra-
tion."
Concerning other new Republican
proposals for assistance to Agri-
culture, the Digest observes: "The
record, alas, shows that the Ad-
ministration has been headed in
the opposite direction in all these
fields" Noting that the Republican

program still retains flexible price
supports for farm commodities, the
Democratic publication declares
that "the COPS 1866 promise does
not seem likely to ease concern
among husbandmen and tillers of
the soil over three straight years
Of declining income"
The Democratic Digest finds the
Administration has copied the
Democrats on proposals for high
way construction, public school
construction, public housing, social
security expansion, aid to small
business, aid to distressed COM
munities and water resources de-
velopment. However, the magazine
adds, the Republican proposals for
the most part are diluted versions
of Democratic originals.
In an article entitled Govern

clares that Presidential Assistant
Sherman Adams is emerging as
an increasingly powerful figure in
the inner circle around President
Eisenhower.

greater extent than it does the

creased delegation of Presidential
authority which a coronary throm-
bosis has imposed on Mr.. Eisen-
hover, it seems not unlikely that
the 'Sherm Adams image will grow
even stronger in the months
ahead"
The article discusses Mr.. Adams
in the controversy
over the recent dropping of Civil
Administrator Fred
erick B. Lee. Another section OF
the article deals with the unsuccess-
full efforts of Senate Investigators
to get Mr.. Adams to testify as to

New York Will
Send Negro
Back To Ala.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13-Alabama
prison officials, equipped with
chains and shackles for returned
prisoners, prepared this week to
take Clarence Crenshaw back to
that state where he was serving
a life sentence for fatally stabbing
white man in 1881.
But Crenshaw's return trip to
the Dixie chain gang, where he has
spent "a of his AZ years, was held
up temporarily as his attorney,
Edwin Tucker, attempted to start
proceedings in federal court to de-
lay the extradition until an effort
can be made to persuade Gov.
Averell Hartman to withdraw his
signature from the warrant.
The prisoner escaped from an
Alabama road gang last August
6 and was picked up here by the
FBI three days after Christmas.
Crenshaw was Is when originally
sentenced to death for stabbing
John D. Bonds, a Castlebury, Ala,
white man who he said beat up his
bother, James, 8. He claimed that
he acted in self defense, when
Bond pulled knife on him.
A month after he entered Kilby
Prison, however, Gov. Miller COM
muted his sentence to life imprison-
ment because the evidence was too
weak to support the death penalty.
Crenshaw is the third Negro for
whom Hartman has signed extra
dition papers in recent months.
Willie Morgan, "a, was sent back
to a South Carolina chain gang
from White Plains. Willie Reed
has been ordered sent back to a
chain gang in Florida.

A delegation of 20 persons called
on Senator William D. LANCER, and
presented a petition bearing the
names of $4,000 persons from all
48 states.
The delegation was headed by
Bishop Edgar A. Love of the Meth

Negroes and whites.
One white member of the group,
Aubrey Williams of Montgomery,
Ala, said he wanted to speak as q
white Southerner about "situa-
ton in the South which is becoming
worse"
He told LANCER that the Supreme
Court decision on school segrega-
ton had "unleashed all the forces
of prejudices and hate that had
been receding" in recent years.
Bishop Love said that "in the
state of Mississippi, a dominant
faction is defying the Constitution
of the nation, flouting the au-
thority of the Supreme Court, per-
verting state institutions of JUS

NEW YORK - The baseball

young Southpaw who gave
them their first championship
Naturally he was figured to
have a great year in So.
Therefore says Aston, he
has to go along with Carl
Erskine, Billy LoeS and Karl
Spooner and they are the
"ifs". Last year these three
made only 20 wins together.
To Aston, they must do better
for a flag this year.
Aston is still depending on
Don Newcombe as key man of
the pitching staff. Maybe
he won't be 20 and S next
season, but there's no reason
why he shouldn't win 20 every
year. Nobody tries harder
than he does"
