Bill Linked
To Relative
OF Eisenhower
BY The Associated Press

Two Democratic House men,
bers are reported to be proposing
legislation which would yield an
$4,000 benefit to a Washing
ton importer in sugar transac-
ton originated by Mrs. Mamie
Eisenhower's brother-in-law.
In a copyrighted story by
Fletcher Knebel, the Des Moines
Sunday Register said the origi-
nator of the deal was Col. G
Gordon Moore, a retired Army
officer.
Col. Moore is the husband OF
Frances Doud Moore, sister of
Mrs. Eisenhower.
The Register said that in late
1855. Col. Moore arranged fol
more than 1000 tons of greer
sugar" to be brought into this
country from the Dominican Re-
public for livestock feed. He
acted as broker when the Amer
/ ican-owned South Porto Rice
Sugar Co. sold the green sugar
to Col. Moore's business asso.
ciate. Robert G. lynch. On i'm
porter.
Both Col. Moore and Mr.
Lynch were quoted as saving Col
Moore does not stand to benefit
If the legislation passes ano
some $4,000 is refunded to the
Robert G. Lynch Co.. owned by
Mr. Lynch and his wife.
Amendments to the sugar act
in 1856 provided that livestock
sugar brought into this country
after January /, 1856. should be
entitled to refund of the sugar
import duty. The January l
date just missed affecting the
sugar for Mr.. Lynch.
Bills introduced by Represen-
tatives Philbin. Democrat OF
Massachusetts, and BoggS, Dem
ocrat of Louisiana. would make
the import tax relief on green
sugar retroactive to June 80,
1855. thus benefitting the Lunch
Co.
Mr.. Lynch said he regards the
proposed legislation as only
simple equity" The United
States Customs Bureau had
ruled in late 1855 that Mr.. Lynch
must pay the full sugar duty for
his green sugar" which Mr.
Lynch said had been sold mostly
to Iowa feed companies.
II would in no way benefit
from this BILL" said Col. Moore
Mr.. Lynch said Col. Moore's
connection with the deal ended
when he received his brokers'
fee for arranging sale of the
sugar to Mr.. Lynch.

He said police would not take
action now unless charges are filed.
H. c. Kikneman, an official of
the Shreveport Railways Co., OPP
orators of the buses, said the driver
of the trolley bus could prefer
charges. He was told not to do so
in this case but drivers were or
dered to press charges in future
cases.
Several whites refused to board
the bus when they saw the Negroes
riding in front of the trace boards"
assigning Negroes to the rear.
AS the bus rolled through the
fashionable Broadmoor section of
Shreveport, a city of 10000, many
of the white passengers left their
seats and stood in the aisle rather
than sit mixed" The negroes CON-
pleted their ride downtown.
One Of the Negro riders, who all
chanted hymns during their trip,
was the Rev. A. L. Scott, a Baptist
and member of the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Col
ored People.
J5- NAACP Under Ban
The NAACP is banned as an or
ganization in Louisiana but the
United Christian Movement which
has several chapters in Louisiana,
is carrying on it's fight against
segregation.
The Shreveport demonstration
was similar to earlier ones in Birm-
ingham, Ala, and Atlanta. These
followed the Supreme Court ruling
outlawing bus segregation in Mont
gomery, Ala, where Negroes
staged a boycott of the transit
system all during 1856.
A wave of violence followed the
court-ordered Indignation in Mont
gomery, but two white men &C.
cused of dynamiting Negro chur-
ches in connection with the ter
rorism were acquitted recently. The
violence has subsidized with most
Montgomery Negroes either still
avoiding the buses or sitting apart
voluntarily.

Mrs. G. B. Blalock gave some
excerpts from report on the
planning and Care of the Lawn"
Because of the wealth of vital
information in this report, she was
asked to make the report in it's en-
tirety at the next meeting.
Mrs. Velma Peyton, president of
the Garden Clubs Council of
Jackson, was guest speaker for the
evening. Mrs. Peyton gave a very
timely report. The following key
factors were stressed:
First, beautiful lawns do not
just happen - they must be land
scaped and well-planned (2) Gard
eners should plant for permanence !;
(3) The entrance, service and liv-
ing areas should receive careful
attention; (4) The size of the
house determines the size of shrub
berry to plant; (5) Straightline
borders should be avoided; and (6)
Green backgrounds can be framed
with colorful flowers.
Mrs. Peyton also explained the
function of the Council. The ques-
ton and answer period conducted
by Mrs. Peyton was most enlight-
ening.
1t was decided that the Watson
cite Garden Club would take an
active part in the Council. Mrs.
Sampson, president, was appoint
ed to serve as representative.
The hostess served a very dainty
and tasty salad course with iced
drinks. Mrs. R. w. Jones, 514 Wat
