WITHDRAWALS

Gov. Leroy Collins was asked
Tuesday 10 investigate the ~res-
ignation" of ii Negro voters In
Liberty County.
The request was made by the
Greater Miami Chapter Of the
American Civil Liberties Union.
Richard B. Royce, chairman
eject Of the chapter, said the
withdrawal" of the voters fol-
lowed reported cross burnings and
other activities in the North Fla.

II these reports be true, Royce
said, "this constitutes vicious
violation of one of the most ele-
mental liberties that our Consu-
tuition guarantees"
He said there is indication the
new Negro voters withdrew from
the registration list Gin fear of
vigilante elements of the COM
munity and implicit or explicit
threats of mob violence"

Board OF Governors OF the Fed

Mr.. Talbott's letter was in re.
Spouse to a request from the
Federal Reserve System for the
associations views on consumer
credit.
The present state Of our econ
omy does reflect the need fol
credit restraint" wrote Mr.. Tai
bolt. He cited nearly full en-
ployment, high payrolls, a salts
factory collection ratio and
normal bad debt loss.
The NRDGA's Board Of Direc-
tors is opposed to any move b.
the Federal Government, or its
agencies, or the Federal Reserve
System, in the direction Of any
legislation to regulate consumer
credit, Mr.. Talbot emphasized.
1.-THE National Retail Dry
Goods Association advocated the
continued utilization of sounc
credit principles in the extension
of consumer credit. So long as
credit is being extended on the
basis Of integrity and capacity OF
the consumer, with terms which
insure an adequate build-up Of
the consumers equity, regula-
tons are not needed"
Mr.. Talbot added: 1.-THE aver
age American is his own best
credit manager, and knows bet
ter than anyone else the extent
to which he can safely obligate
himself"

Warming to Bankers

Zone or more of three things
are true:
cd Small businessmen are
getting all the funds they should
get and don't know it.
"(2) They are not getting all
the bank credit they should gel
and bankers don't know it.
500 What they need is capital
not credit, and there is no or
ganiaztion, private or public, tc
channel it to them.
IF any or all Of these three
IsuppositionS are true, or par.
tally true, it seems to follow
that bankers ought to do some
thing more about the problem
than they heretofore have been
able to accomplish.
I'VE are not writing idly.
Bankers are on the spot. :"

above, you might murmur here
There she goes again, worrying

But ! am not the author of the
above. The source is the "Ameri-

century.
What's more, the editoriaI
from which l have quoted was
written for bankers alone. Only
a few Of us, outside of this group
have seen this blunt summation

many of the questions the Re-

Denver t.September "a.
Mr.. Eisenhower recovered from
the heart attack, said he felt
fine. and announced he would
accept a second term in the
White House.
The doctors stressed all day
yesterday that the Presidents

Feel Concerned
BY CROSBY s. MOVES

European Correspondent of The Star
PARIS. June 9.-News OF
President Eisenhower's illness is
causing deep concern in all Eu-
ropean capitals today.
Although first reports reaching
here tended to minimize the seri-
BUSINESS of his new ailment, there
I is anxiety that it may have a
profound effect on the American
political contest which most Eu-
Iropeans had come to look on as
comfortably settled.
Such symptoms as reaction OF
the stock market are taken as re-
lfiecting general public nervous
ness over Mr.. Eisenhower's state
of health. 1t is assumed that
even in the best of circumstance
the question of his candidacy
will be reopened.
This idea is nearly as dis.
tresSing in Europe as it is in the
United States. Although by nc
means a majority of Europeans
would qualify politically as good
Republicans, they have q very
real enthusiasm for the political
stability and general prosperity
with which Mr.. Eisenhower has
come to be identified. Their con.
fidence in him, however, is a
strictly personal matter very
little of which attaches itself tc
other leaders of the administra-
ton or Congress.
Besides the benign role which
the President is felt to play in his
own administration his influence
on the international plane is
highly respected here. 1t is re-
called that his first illness last
September also came at a mo-
ment Of an important exchange
OF letters with Soviet Premier
Nikolai Bulganin on the question
of disarmament. And at a time
when a more liberal Russian
diplomacy seems to lean heavily
on personal contacts. Mr.. Eisen-
hover is rated as an extremely
valuable asset in the allied camp.
These assumptions, however

WELSH MINERS GET
SECOND CHANCE
TO SAVE JOBS

GWAUB CAE-CURWEN,
Wales (P). - Britain's Ma
tional Coal Board today
gave 279 exhausted miners
in this Welsh village another
chance to save their jobs
and the towns coal industry.
Last month the board
closed the local pit and
fired its entire staff of LOGS
because of low production
figures and a total of 249
strikes since 1947.
The miners appealed for
another chance.
The board hired back 279
men for a two-week trial.
If they reached an undis-
closed target figure officials
said the pit would be re-
opened.
Last night they learned
they had missed the goal
by a hairs BREADTH" but
had won the right to an
other weeks trial.
