he has a wide sentimental
streak. But there Is Argentine

just how good a composer he
really was.

Sonata on concert programs

Mr.. Stevenson's beautifully
moulded piano-playing was so
good that it almost made me
completely forget the miser-

he was performing. Had the
instrument been up to his skill,

Minister. Warns
Southerners
On Race Issue

New York, May 13 - A promi-
nent Georgia minister today warn
ed Southerners they are no longer
thinking clearly on most funda-
mental issues because of their ex-
treme sensitivity to the racial
question.
This sensitivity, declared the
Rev. Robert B. McNeilI of CO.
lumbus, Ga, prevents Southerners
from making judgements about
fundamentals like freedom. democ-
racy and justice on an absolute
standard of right and wrong be
cause of "the presence Of people
for whom he must always make an
exception"
Writing in the new issue Of Lo. X
Magazine, the minister said:
"The Southerper is acutely SEN
sitive these days. He will accuse
you of dragging in the race Issue
when you honestly meant no sgch
implication.
The issue is in every phase d
his life-the kind of wage scale he
will establish, to whom he will sell
his merchandise, whom he will sup

buys his house, what ne thinks
about education, what preacher he
will listen to how far he viii

Rev McNeill offered program Of

races in which Negroes would have
representation on city councils,
grand juries, school boards, medi-
cal societies. ministerial associa-
tons and other public agencies.
Such a program, ne said in Look,
would prevent the destructive con-
tact between the races that some
fear would occur with complete in
tegration.
The clergyman predicted there
will he a breakthrough eventually"
in the race problem, for "even a
Southerner can't hold out forever
against the irrefutable testimony
of his own experience, especially
as it is tempered with the relentless
persuasion of the Bible"

nate candidates in many races.
Even in 1856, he pointed out, there
were no COP candidates in 65 of
the la congressional districts in
southern and border states.
"If we work long enough and
hard enough, there can be no such
thing as hopeless state or a
hopeless district" the President
said. "We ought to have candi-
date in every one"
The President also spoke out
again in defense of the ST. ,80O,-

said was mot recklessly or care

He added the price Of peace

Turning again to the political
scene, Mr.. Eisenhower said in every
presidential election since 1910,
the Republicans have increased
their percentage of the South's
total vote.
"There is no longer a Solid
South controlled by one political
party"
