routine but exhaustive inveSti-
cations now under way is all
that is holding up nomination
of Mr.. McElroy, 52-year-old
president of Proctor q Gamble.
The President said he had
been considering Mr.. McElT6y
very earnestly for the defense
post. He described the soap
manufacturer as one of the
most capable men and of the
highest type in the country.
He pointed out that long
and exhaustive Investigations,
some confidential, are required
before the nomination of any,
one as a cabinet member goes
to the Senate. Such investiga-
lions of Mr.. McElroy are now
going forward and he cannot
predict the outcome yet, Mr..
Eisenhower added.
Expects to Nominate
But he indicated that he ex-
poets to nominate Mr.. McElroy
by saying that as soon as a
nomination can go to the Hill.
he will announce it through
Press Secretary James c.
Hagerty.
Mr. McElroy was returning
to Cincinnati today after
spending three days in WASH
ington. comforting with Mr..
Wilson and the President about
his prospective job and prCb-
lens that will face him.
The President said Mr.. Will
son had informed him a long
time ago that he wanted to re-
sign before becoming involved
in preparing the Defense De-
partment budget for the next
fiscal year-work that usually
begins in September.
In response to another ques-
ton, the President indicated
that he was satisfied with Sec
rotary wilson's explanation Of
his recent testimony before q
House Appropriations Commit
tee which had been interpreted
widely as opposing a budget
reform bill backed by Mr.. Eli
Senhower.
Accounting Method
He explained that Mr.. Wilson
has his own opinion about what
a particular method of accounts
ing would do and he would be
the last TO say that the Defense
Secretary could not express his
opinion.
The President added that
Mr.. Wilson had not opposed
the so-called accrued expendi-
ture bill, but had merely tried
to point out what he thought
its affects would be on the De-
Tense Department.

boarded the company plane for
the trip back to Cincinnati.

President Eisenhower left the
door open today for a compro-
mise between the House and

jury trial amendment to the
civil rights bill.
Avoiding any indication that
he might veto the Senate ver-
sion, Mr.. Eisenhower said he
does not regard the bill as be-
ing in final form yet.
Most observers believe a basis
for compromise would be to

Inspection Plan
BY EARL H. VOSS

/
expressed utmost hope" for
the Western powers proposal
for comprehensive air-ground
arms inspection system cover
ing all the Soviet Union, the
United States. Canada, the
Arctic zone and most of Europe.
If this could be entertained
even for a moment and if the
world could make any prog
reSs toward accepting it." the
President told his press confer
ence. he would consider it 1.-The
greatest ray of hope that had
arrived on this dark scene"
since he has been in the White
House.
If the world can be relieved
of its fear of surprise ard
devastating attack" Mr.. Eisen-
hover asserted. then disarma.
ment would follow almost au-
tomatlcally."
The same theme was stressed
by Secretary of State Dulles at
his press conference yesterday.
Burden on Soviet
These enthusiastic claims for
the comprehensive aerial in
spection plan seem intended to
pin on the Soviet Union the
principal burden for a break
down in disarmament talks. If
one develops.
The President preceded his
comment with a caution that it
is difficult indeed to give any
estimate or evaluation' OF the
prospects for Soviet acceptance
of the Western proposal.
Any forecast would be pure
conjecture. he said, because we
ere not dealing with people
whose attitudes we know in
detail, as the Soviet leaders
know Western peoples.
/ If no progress can be made
on the comprehensive plan. Mr..
Eisenhower said he hopes the
open-Skies and ground inspec-
ton scheme can be applied in
the Arctic zone alone, Ito see
if we could develop enough con-
fidence to go a little further. +"
Need Mutual Confidence
The President reminded re-
porterS that you can talk all
you want to about specific
proposals. but nothing will be
accomplished unless there is
some little growth in mutual
confidence.
This parallels the often
expressed Soviet view that
there must be trust" on both
sides in order to put an arms
limitation plan into effect.
Mr. Eisenhower was asked
about Japan's concern that
inclusion of the southern Kurile
islands in the Arctic inspection
zone might damage Japan's
claim to them. implying a
recognition of Soviet control.
The President said he had
not heard of the japanese COM
plant but added that the in
tereSts of no country friendly
to the United States, like
Japan. would be ignored.
Far Eastern bases of Amer
lean air and ground power were
net included in the comprehen-
sive inspection plan presented
at the London disarmament
talks. the President indicated.
because of the complications
that would have arisen.
Fine NATO Job
The West did a fine job, lie
said, in getting ali the NATO
powers to agree on the same
inspection package.
On the other side, he indi-
Gated that the Soviet Union
might have difficulty getting

this finesse. He went right up

Each Of the defenders also
dropped a spade.
The top diamonds were cashed
next and when the queen fell,
nine tricks were in sight.
It is interesting to note Mr..
Dale,s complete willingness to-
give up several chances for extra
tricks. If the diamonds had been
divided 3-3. with the queen on
his right, he could have won four
tricks in the suit instead of three.
If the king of spades had been

three spades instead of just one.

Editor-in-chief
The Montgomery Advertiser
Montgomery, Alabama
Dear Mr.. Hall:
The editorial "The Two Antlers
of Elks" published in your news
paper Friday, August 9th, 1857 is
a very fruitful topic for discus
sion. / had been informed by the
members of the Improved Benevo-
lent Protective Order of Elks of
Montgomery, Ala, where they re-
gard your newspaper with high re-
spect, pointing out of course, that
while they differ in many instances
with your editorial policy, that
they respect your open approach
to the subjects of current interest.
For this reason, feel that it be-
comes my solemn duty to point out
to you that while / appreciate your
views pertaining to the National
Negro Elks" that a further ex-
planation of this organization
should be sent. Therefore, l wish
to tell you that the other Elks
(non Negro) as assumed in your
editorial is an organization which
throughout it's entire history has
maintained policy of complete
segregation due to the fact that
its membership is limited to Cau-
casians only.
If there is any fraternal organi-
zation which has overcome the bar
riers of segregation it is the I'm
proved Benevolent Protective Or
der of Elks of the World. For
proof of this fact l am pleased to
inform you that the Order has
two local lodges whose entire men,
bership are Chinese. Also, outside
of the United States the Improved
Benevolent Protective Order of
Elks of the World, is organized.
(See attached roster).
Presently, there are So students
in colleges under $1,000 scholar
ships of which two (2) are white
students.
So you see Mr.. Hall, as Grand
Exalted Ruler of the Improved
Benevolent Protective Order Of
Elks of the World, the only thing
which | am trying to perpetuate
is unity among people throughout
the entire world and as a matter
of fact | think that you will find
in your section Of the country
that a great many of our local
lodges enjoy the highest prestige
from southern people.
1t has been our policy in the 81
years of existence to respect men
of any racial identity although we
may oppose the policies which they
represent. We do not condemn any
individual because of his race. Our

be to keep the peace; for the Unit

The federation pledged to work
for the defeat at the polls of all
members of Congress who voted
against Federal school funds.
New York City delegates failed
in an attempt to amend the reso-
luton to call for the defeat against
legislators who voted against Fed
eral aid.
The amendment proposed that
the labor candidates be sponsored
by the Committee on Political Ed
ucation of the American Fedora
tion of Labor and the Congress
of Industrial Organizations.
Chairman Opposes Amendment
Benjamin Epstein Of Newark, N.
j., chairman of the committee pre-
senting the resolution, opposed the
New York amendment. He pointed
out that it was not the function
of COPE to sponsor candidates
and that the Teachers Union was
in no position to call for a labor
party at this time.
AS finally approved, the reso-
luton described the federation as
appalled," by the failure of Con-
gress once again to provide Fed
eral school aid and "by the vacilla-
ton of the Eisenhower Administra-
ton in failing to give that kind
of leadership which might have
resulted in passage of legislation. !"

described the Elks as an organiza-
tion which was perpetuating seq
regation.
The newspaper under an edi-
torial "The Two Antlers of Elks"
said that DR.. Johnson had de-
nounced "the moderation of the
civil rights bill," but was serving
as exalted ruler of a segregated
Order of Elks.
In letter released to newspa-
pers, DR.. Johnson declared that
his Order was the only fraternal
organization which had broken
down the barriers of segregation.
In his letter to Grover G. Hall, Jr.,
editor-in-chief, of The Montgomery
Advertiser, DR.. Johnson asserted
that the IBOEW was organized
outside of the United States, and
under it's scholarship program was
educating two white students.
The Montgomery Advertisers
editorial reads:
"The Two Antlers of Elks"
"Dr. Robert H. Johnson of Phil
adelphia, grand exalted ruler of
the national Negro Elks organi-
zation, has denounced the moder-
ating of the civil rights bill, which

The Senate action is proof of
a political conspiracy between
some senators to give the minor
tiles of the United States another

Senate who voted for the amend
ment.' That statement is interest

who perpetuates segregation Of
