But Rumors May Be Midwest Moneuver
To Reqoin Iowa House Seat for G. 0. P.

The timing suggests that
the new rumorS may be
rather more of an election
maneuver than a serious
Benson intention. In the
district itself. Republicans
have the better-known cam
paigner, but sources there
say that at this point his
disadvantage against the
Democrats is profound. Iowa
has a Democratic Governor,
Herschel Loveless, its first
since the depression of the
30s.
The President. of course, is
in Asia and the White House
is silent. Vice President
Nixon, who is minding the
store, long has lent his aid
and ear to the unhappy Mid
west Republicans, and his
relations with the chairman
Of the House Campaign Com
mittee, Representative Simp-
son, are particularly close.
Benson has other troubles.
He has just Lad a gall bladder
operation and his superb self
confidence seems a little di-
minished. He is on leave from
the Church of Jesus Christ
Of Latter-day Saints Nor

apostle and a member Of the

Closer to home there is the
annual reunion of the Ohio con-

to the more than 50 descendants
present of 19-month-old Ken

Presiding over the meeting at
Smiths was 84-year-old Will

of the family in this area.

Report on Virginia
The report showed Virginia
was lowest in acts of violence
and tied for last in reprisals,
but ranked high in the intimi-
dation breakdown.
There were only two acts of
violence in Virginia. the report
said. The stoning of a Negro
home in a previously white
neighborhood of Yorktown in
November. 1857, by a gang Of
20 white men and the stoning
and shootings on three sepa-
rate occasions at a Negro home
in Alexandria on April /, 1858,
The only act of reprisal re-
ported from Virginia was the
failure Of the Appomatox Coun-
ty School Board to renew the
contracts of two school teachers
who were accused of being
lntegrationists.
Several incidents of intimi-
dation were reported from Vir-
ginia. including two cross
burnings at Charlottesville and
three bomb threats in Arling-
ton. one of them against a
church.

mob action as indications of
widespread erosion Of indi-
vidual liberties. An introduc-
ton said the incidents listed
were taken from newspapers.
Other reports, however reliable,
we're not used.
The compilation was pub
lished by the American Friends
Service Committee, High Point,

Racial and Cultural Relations

Churches of Christ, New York,
and the Southern Region Coun-
Gil. The latter group. which
has headquarters in Atlanta,

ing toward better race relations.
Example Seen
Southern political leaders
have declared their opposition
to lawlessness. the report said.
But the document suggested
that legislative and executive
policies of evading and defying
Federal court decisions may
have "set an example whose
contagion is uncomfortable"
Actions reported, the compi-
lation declared. have been
taken by private groups, indi-
viduals and sometimes by mobS

power in protest against a
new order of race relations"
Resistance groups have
spread across the South. the
report said, typified by the
White Citizens Council. born
in 1854 in Mississippi. BY 1856
they had an estimated 100000
members, the document added,
and the groups characteristic
tactics have been economic
pressure. lobbying and propa-
ganda.
According to the report
"other groups, such as a re-
vived but disjointed Ku Klux
Klan and some extremist off,
shoots of the citizens councils,
have advocated and partici-
Semitism f1ared and synagogues

"Gunpowder and dynamite.
parades and cross burnings,

report said. These attacks
have been directed not only at
Negroes but at some white per-
sons who have strayed from
local customs. Also, overt anti

Good Will, Too
The report said the record
poses dangers "for which all of

that another accounting could
be given of patience. courage
and good will.

was expressed for Alan Drake,

wife was slain with Augie Pr
sano, the mobster. But there
was puzzlement about brakes
referring to Pisano as a kindly
uncle Gus" whose influence
had helped convert Drake from
q taxi-driver into a nightclub
comic.
The fact is that racketeer-
influence in advancing a per-
formers career is an outmoded
notion, a relic Of the prohibit
ton days when dancers with
as little talent as George Raft
could get work. Eddie Bowling,
in those years, produced a
musical which employed the
respective mistresses Of Johnny
Irish, the late Chink Sherman
and the late frankie NARROW.
He learned Of the relationship
only when the men complained
about cutting the girls rou-
tines. But then prohibition
ended, Tom Dewey became
