"Ike's Wavering leadership"
is the subject of the lead article
in the September issue of the
Democratic Digest now being
mailed to subscribers. Perhaps
the most interesting aspect of
the five long years of the EiSen-
hover Presidency" says the
Digest, sis the dual approach
which Dwight D. Eisenhower
has to his job and the function
of leadership. At times he seems
to prefer the role of the Con-
stitutional Monarch, sort Of
benevolent King dressed in a
double-breaSted business suit
at other times he is the moder-
ate, compromising leader who
carries his ability to see both
sides of the question to the point
where vacillation and indeciSion
become the distinguishing fea-
ture of his leadership. And at
all times he is woefully unin-
formed; a leader who relies on
a general staff which either out
of design or inefficiency fails
to keep it's figurehead briefed."
To support this charge, the
Digest reviews General EiSen-
hower's performance as PreSi-
dent from the beginning OF his
second term to the present. 1t
finds that on such major issues
as his budget, civil rights, the
school bill, disarmament and in
flation the President "haS man
aged to take both sides, equivo-
Gated, hesitated at the crucial

liam Gordon, City Editor of "The
Atlanta Daily World, who was
formerly a Niemen fellow at
Harvard, told the MIRA Assembly
of Nations here today. He was
referring to the change MIRA is

Speaking with him were U

1000 delegates from At nations
were "a representatives of the
China Youth Corps of Aaiwan,
IL members of parliament from
Thailand, and two official re-
presentatives of the Prime Min
lister of the Sudan.
"If America changes, the whole
world will be compelled to
change" Mr.. Gordon said. I'VE
will have no difficulty with our
foreign policy if other nations
see us living -aboSlute moral
standards. I am struck by the
simplicity of MRA's answer.
Sometimes it seems that the
simpler thing is, the harder
it is to grasp for those who do
not want to change.
There is something very gen.

deep in the four absolute stand

honesty, purity, unselfishness
and love. We need to take them

NEGROES STRUGGLE TO
DEFEND THEIR RIGHTS
Reprint from The Militant.

Reprint from The Militant.
While the Democrats and Re-
publicans continued to play
politics in Congress with the
corpse of the civil-rights bill,
real battles between Negro free
dom fighters and white suprem-
aciSts are flaring throughout the
country.
A bus boycott by 1000 Negroes
in Rock Hill, South Carolina,
which began on July 16, is still
completely effective.
A friendly gesture touched off
the boycott. Alene Austin, a Ne
gro domestic worker, was invit-
ed by a white woman to share
a seat, the only unoccupied one
on the bus. Ordered Ito the rear"
or "off" by the driver, Miss Aus
tin left and with her has gone
the entire Negro community.

NASHVILLE SCHOOL OFFICERS
HOME THREATENED

NASHVILLE, Tenn.-A Nash
vile school official revealed new
threats and an attempt to burn
his home, as a result of plans
to integrate the city schools.
Asst. city school Supt. w. H.
Oliver demanded police protec-
ton. He complained a "fireball"
of burning paper was thrown
on the porch of his home. He
had received a steady stream
of telephone. threats since Is
Negro students were registered
for integrated first grade clas-
SeS this week.
Oliver said he found only a
handful of charred paper, after
the fireball burned paint off
the porch steps. It could have
caused serious demage, he said,
if the fireball had fallen into
leaves and shrubs near the
porch.
Two principal of all-white
schools where Negroes have reg
istered for classes have been re-
ceiving telephone threats many
of them also abusive in nature,
Oliver said.
Nashville mayor Ben West,
meanwhile told citizen COM
mittee claiming to represent
5000 persons opposed to school
integration that he intends to
follow the law on school assign
ment. under which token in
tegration is cheduled for Sept
9. West said however, he would
back the citizens groups right
to seek a court test of the law.
Integration of Southern schools
was the subject of court action
ih three North Carolina cities
last week. The school boards at
Greensboro and Charlotte were
attacked for a decision to allow
integration to begin, and the
school board at Releigh was un-
der attack for refusing to END
segregation.

K1anSman Asks Law To

The klaSman failed to reveal
what form of tactics he would
use, and whether they would be
similar to those he allegedly used
on the farmer Claud Cruel July

Cruel, who suffered the beat
ing told police members of a
white mob chained and beat
him after Turner took his sick
wife to the hospital and left his
children at the Cruell home for

columnist Murray Kempton re-
ports from the scene the active
role of Thomas Murdock, vol
unteer car-pool driver, who
brings to the struggle his ex-
perience as a former United
Auto Worker union organizer in
Detroit.
The owner of the bus COM
pany has refused to restore
service except on a segregated
basis. AS a result negotiations
are at a standStill.
Since the boycott, the Ku Klux
Klan has been gaining strength.
Meetings of over 1000 have been
held and crosses burned. But
they have had no effect on the
determination of the city's Ne
gro people to win their rights.
Rev. Ivory, who has received
bomb threats, declares, Were
waiting until the other people
agree to obey the law of the
land. We know it is unconstitu-
tional to be forced to ride in a
segregated manner"
In Tuskegee, Alabama, the
two-month boycott of white
merchants continues unabated
despite the brazen attempts of
Alabama Attorney General John
Patterson to terrorize the Ne
groes. Officials of the 43-year
old TuSkegee Civic Association
to which most of the boycotterS
belong, have been hauled be-
fore the Attorney General in
the presence of a large number
of armed state troopers and
subjected to grilling about the
Tea.
TUSKEGEE RAIDS
Subsequently tn e Attorney
General personally led raids on
the offices of the TEA and on a
small printshop near the Tus-
kegee campus which has print
ed both TCA and NAACP liter
ature. In radio broadcaStS the
assistant Attorney General has
warned Negroes against joining
the boycott crusade" to pro-
tect their voting rights. He has
also appealed for informerS to
turn information over to him
for prosecutions.
On Aug. 16 the Attorney Gen.
eral secured a temporary in
juction against the Tea and
"all persons in active concert or
participation in the boycott.
However, the one step that would
end the Notwithstanding the
law by which all but ten Negro
voters were gerrymandered out
of the city limits-haS not been
broached by sta tie officials.
Pending such a step it appears
that the unofficial boycott will
continue, for it is impossible
even for the Southern white SUI
premacistS to force the Negro
people of TuSkegee to shop i'm
stores where they don't want to.
There has been a noticeable
increase in the activity of the
Ku Klux Klan throughout the
South. In Maplesville, Ala, six
Negroes were beaten by the
hooded terroristS on Aug. 8. In
Evergreen. Ala, four Negroes,
two of them preachers, were
similarly beaten. A particularly
atrocious beating took place sew
eral weeks earlier in Travellers

Rehoboth Beach h. D. Club:


The newly organized Home DEM
onstration Club in Rehoboth Beach
has joined together a group of en-
thusiastic homemakers. Both the
young and old have responded with
their cooperation and inward de-
sire to accomplish something ma
terially. With this desire we have
tackled several different projects,
bearing in mind that each member
should be benefited.
Those who have never used
their talents to create things have
several beautiful articles to show
for the efforts put forth.
Each individual family has been
rewarded in several ways by the
organization of our club. Better
planned and cooked meals, new
draperies and slip covers, freshly
painted bedrooms and living rooms,
new flower arrangements that take
the place of an empty bowl or vase,
new outdoor flower beds and bord-
ers, are but a few of the topics
which have been covered.
With the above accomplishments
in mind we hope cur club will con-
tinue to grow as the years go by.
Our membership is gradually
building up each year.

been discarded as child's chair.
Our homemaker refiIished it and
added a rush seat, all Tor a nomi-
nal sum. Thus the homenaker is
aided in becoming her own interior
decorator.
The committee chairmen keep
US posted on problems and the
latest developments in the field of
health, family life, safety, interna-
tional relations, citizenship and
civil defense. Just recently our
members completed the Red Cross
Nursing Course. We learned the
best and most effective ways to
care for The sick at home.
More homemakers should avail
themselves of such an extensive
educational program offered free
of charge at the local level.

Rule" This first sentence of the
Home Demonstration Club Prayer
is a guide for the members of the
NanticOke H m Demonstration
Club as they have sent CARE pack
ages each month to some country
that is in great need for the full
filling of the Golden Rule.
They received these packages not
only of food, but packages of fell
lowship and understanding so that
is we homemakers of America
were in the same situation we
would appreciate the thoughtful
ness of others.
Also, the Nanticoke Home Dem
onstration Club has enrolled for
the Nursing Course so that we may
be of even greater service to our
selves, our family and our COM
munity. A number of our members
have taken an active part in lead
er-training meetings and County
Council.
Club work has made us have a
better understanding of our fell
low citizens and also has helped
us to create new ideas in our every
day living in order that we may
get away from the dull routine of
life which can become very dull
and uninteresting.
We ourselves benefit from the

ton received which in turn bene-
