NAACP 'Snub'
HitbyPowe!!

NEW YORK, July IS (AP).-
Representative Powell, Demo-
crat of New York, yesterday
accused the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement Of
Colored People of brushing him
of as a speaker at its conven-
ton. But he eventually &C
copied a five-minute windup
spot on the program.
Mr.. Powell agreed to share a
Sunday speaking platform with
Namdi Azikiwe, Premier of
Eastern Nigeria; Jackie Robin
son, former ballplayer. and rep
resentatives of the three major
faiths. The Congressman will
be limited to a message OF
greeting on the closing day OF
the convention.
Last Friday the NAACP in
vited Mr.. Powell, the Harlem
Congressman, to speak for 20
minutes on tomorroW's conven-
ton program.
Mr.. Powell's public relations
man, John Young, called this
an afterthought and an insult.
He asserted the original list Of
speakers had been drawn up
weeks ago, with Mr.. Powell ex-
cluded.
Moreover, Mr.. Young
charged, the invitation offered
such short notice that the
NAACP probably knew in ad-
vance Mr.. Powell wouldn't be
able to accept.
On Sunday, Mr.. Young said,
Mr.. Powell wired Roy Wilkins,
NAACP executive director,
offering to speak at next Sun
days closing convention ses-
sion at the Polo Grounds.
Mr.. Wilkins replied in a tele-
gram to Mr.. Powell, apologize
ing for the last-minute nature
of the original invitation. He
added:
However. the Sunday pro-
!. gram was fitted to the needs of
our distinguished guest from
Nigeria and therefore offers OPP
portunity for an additional
greeting of but five minutes in
length
Since we know each other
so well, we offer the observa-
lion that the language of your
press agent in your behalf does
not approach the delicacy and
understanding born of ex-
perience that you yourself
bring to situations of this
kind"

Senator Humphrey Of Mime.
sofa, the first Democratic can
didate for President with a
formal organization, called on
Congress to pass a strong new
civil rights bill before it adj
journs.
In a speech prepared for the
50th anniversary convention Of
the National Association for the
Advancement Of Colored People
in New York, the Minnesotan
made 1t clear he will go all out
for the support Of the liberal
wing Of his party.
He said President Eisenhower
should spell out his stand on
the flve year -old Supreme
Court ruling on school desegre-
cation, and also demanded that
Vice President Nixon take an
active part in the battle to pass
civil rights legislation in Con-
greSs.
Senator Humphrey criticized
the administration, saying that
its attitude is that "the only
thing that matters is balancing
the financial budget" and
added: II would suggest that
once in a while this administra-
ton consider the Importance of
balancing our moral budget"
He told the NAACP dele
gates he did not speak for
civil rights as a spokesman
for the Democratic Party. But
he reminded them he was "the
only Democratic Senator on
your program"
Declaration Later
Senator Humphrey said last
night that if the activities Of
the organization which went
to work in his behalf yester-
day are well received he will,
"at an appropriate time make
a formal declaration" Of his
candidacy.
While this appeared to leave
him a way to withdraw from

Segregation:

Segregated Indignation made
its first appearance in Virginia
last week.
Warren County High School,
closed since last September IL,
reopened Wednesday under Fed
eral court order. Twenty-Five
Negro students were enrolled.
The new students had Front

It's doors last fall returned.
The boycott of the integrated
school was not unexpected. About
100 Of Warren Highs former stu
dents are attending the private
classes Of the Warren County
Educational Foundation.
The federation, which operates
its classes In churches, museum
and a former youth canteen, had
announced in advance that they
would be continued through the
remainder Of the school year.
Many parents were undoubt-
edly reluctant to disrupt their
children's schooling by trans
ferring them back to Warren
High at this time. But the unan-
iinous boycott of the integrated
school also reflected the depth of
diehard segregationist sentiment

On Cyprus:
An Accord

Last Sunday when Archbishop
Makarios, exiled Ethnarch of Cy-
prus and political leader Of the
Cypriot independence movement,
flew to London from Athens, pros
poets looked bright for an end to
the long drawn struggle over the
Mediterranean islands future.
Turkey, Greece and Britain had
worked out an independence plan
for the island, and a tentative
constitution protecting the rights
of the Turkish Cypriot minority.
But the bearded, black robed
prelate baked at some Of the
terms of the agreement. While
Turkish Premier Adnan Menderes
lay in hospital bed recovering
from injuries received when his
plane crashed Tuesday, the arch
bishop threatened to wreck pros
poets for an accord by demanding
Cypriot sovereignty over British
military bases, more power for the
Greek Cypriots, and a number Of
other changes.
The willy churchman quickly
found himself out on a limb, and
alone. His Greek, British and
Turkish colleagues repeatedly let
him know in positive terms that
his opposition would be disre-
garded. He yielded gracefully,
praising the agreement ultimately
as "a new chapter for the people
Of Cyprus, a period Of peace and
prosperity"
With the signing of the agree
ment by the Premiers and Foreign
Ministers of the three nations,
plus the Archbishop for the Greek
Cypriots and DR.. Fail Kutchuk
for the Turk Cypriots, the new
Republic of Cyprus seems assured
before the end of the year. De-
tails of the accord are to be an
nounced tomorrow in Ankara,
Athens and Nicosia.
To the Western alliance, the
ending of the conflict over the
status of Cyprus means the re-
vival of NATO strength in the
Eastern Mediterranean through
renewed cordially between Greece
and Turkey. The agreement may
also lead to a reinstatement Of
the Balkan Alliance with Yugo-
slavia. President Tito may discuss
the question this week with the
Greek Premier when he visits
Athens enroute back to Belgrade
after his extended tour.
One cloud, however. remained
on the horizon. Despite general
approval in. the West Of the
Cyprus agreement, there appeared
to be little enthusiasm among the
Cypriots themselves. The Turkish
Cypriots, in particular, attacked
the accord Friday as a "sell-out"
and demonstrated for partition.
British troops again had to patrol
the dividing line between Turkish
and Greek sections of Nicosia.
But some optimistic observers
ascribed the reaction to the long
prevailing emotional climate, and
predicted that communal hostility
would subside when the accord
Is put into effect.

Negotiations on Summit

There are expectations that Mr..
Khrushchev may offer suggestions
for a summit meeting, in prefer
ence to a Foreign Ministers seS-
sion, this week to British Prime
Minister Macmillan who arrives
in Moscow today. Mr.. Macmillan,
whose views on foreign policy have
in general been considered more
flexible" than those of Mr.. Dulles
and West Germany's Chancellor
Adenauer, will visit Moscow and
other Soviet cities for 10 days. He
has described his trip as recon
Nuisance" one in which there
would be no formal negotiations
but only exchanges Of opinion.
His choice Of words was seman-
tically unfortunate. The Russian
for reconnaissance" carries the
connotation espionage" and some
Soviet journals used the word in
Just that way.
Premier Khrushchev was on
hand to welcome the British Prime
Minister when his plane landed
at MoScow's airport. The greeting
was cordial, and included a special
honor guard. Mr.. Khrushchev told
his guest that the Soviet Union
sought peaceful coexistence
among different social systems :. ..
we are a country now embarked
on q great building program and
we do not want war again."
Talks at the Kremlin will be in
terspersed with trips to Kiev,
Leningrad, Dubna (the Soviet
atom cityD as we'll as social
events and the theater. Mr.. Mac
milan told reporters as he boarded
his plane in London: II certainly
am not going to try to search out
secrets. We are going to search
out the hearts and minds Of the
Russian leaders and see how far
we can make contact with them"
There have been reports in
Western diplomatic circles that
Mr.. Dulles approved of Mr.. Mac
millan's trip with great reluctance.
In any event, the mission is being
viewed as very important in shap-
ing the Western approach to nego-
tiations later. The Prime Min
lister will report to Mr.. Adenauer
at Bonn and to President de
Gaulle at Paris after he concludes
his stay in the Soviet Union. Last
week it was also indicated that he
will fly to Washington for personal
consultations with Mr.. Dulles and
President Eisenhower.
AS If to impress Mr.. Macmillan
with Soviet determination in adj
vance, Radio Moscow on Friday
attacked the Western notes of
Monday in slashing terms. The
notes do not contain a single
constructive suggestion capable of
facilitating settlement Of questions
either Of Berlin or of Germany"

The National Scene

Strauss, had spent most Of two
days defending the administra-
tons atomic power program be-
fore the committee.
The issue is an old one. Demo-
Gratis on the committee think the
United States has already waited
too long for private industry to
volunteer to build power reactors.
They want the Government to f.
nance a reactor construction pro-
gram that will make the price of
atomic power competitive with
coal and oil in 10 years.
The Acc, under tight Budget
Bureau restrictions, wants to con-
fine it's activities chiefly to build
ing small, experimental reactors.
Mr.. McCone is moving things
along somewhat faster than Mr..
Strauss, now Secretary of Com
merce, who couldn't get along
with the committee at all.
But there is a suspicion on the
part of some committee members
that Mr.. Strauss still has Presi-
dent Eisenhower's ear on atomic
policy matters. There is also q
concern, voiced last week by SEN
ator Gore, Democrat Of Tennessee,
that the United States will end
up third in the atomic power field,
behind the Soviet and Great Brit
ain, If it doesn't start moving
faster.
Mr.. McCone'S temper was trig-
gered by prepared statement is
sued while he was still testifying
before the committee by Repre-
sentative Holifield. 1t derided the
administrations "pitifully" small
power program. Waving a copy
of the Holif1eld statement, he
laced heatedly into the Congress
man. Mr.. Holifeld replied with
his comment on heat and the

rectly sums up their attitude.
The second grievance is that
the United States is preventing
China from taking her place in
the U. N. These twin grievances
stem from the basic fact Of
Americas nonrecognition of Com
munist China. If communism is
the barrier, they ask, then how is
it that America has recognized

Names New Head and Sets a Precedent

DR.. Donaldson put request
before the county court for a real
hospital for Negroes. The court
gave him an old dormitory from
the white hospital, provided the
Negroes could raise $500 to move
the structure to the towns Negro
section.
The newly established hospital
was destroyed by the 1852 tornado.
DR.. Donaldson went to the court
again. This time it offered to pay
rent on house to be used as a
temporary hospital.
Then the court granted the
working doctors biggest
dream, a new 100000 hospital.
Included were an operating room,
a delivery room, X-ray, Office,
treatment rooms, a laboratory. a
small nursery and rooms for about
a dozen patients.

Almost as soon as 1t was built
the hospital, which Is nearly self
supporting, was overcrowded.
Again DR.. Donaldson appealed to
the county court.
They've never turned me down"
he says. The court authorized .

already under way. DR.. Donaldson
gives the court most Of the credit
for the modern medical service to
