Senator Mansfield of Mon

outstanding Senators and a

and courage"
HE is a good man in every

But he added it is up to the
national convention to choose
the nominee and he isn't taking

Senator Chavez, Democrat of

Humphrey "a man of highest

he would make a great Presi-

But Senator Chavez said he
is going to look over all of the
candidates before he decides
which one to support.

Importance of the Negro vote
in the populous Northern

Vice President Nixon, who
appears to have the Republican
presidential nomination sewed
up, will be presiding over the
Senate debate, and at least
four of the major contenders
for the Democratic nomination
will be participants, including
Democratic leader johnson of
Texas. The others are Senators
Humphrey, Kennedy of Massa- =
chusettS and Symington of
Missouri.
The civil rights debate will be
a major test for Senator John
son because of his dual role as
party floor leader and q Texan.
In the closing days of the last
session Senator johnson sought
agreement on what he described
as a reasonable civil rights pro-
gram, but action was confined
to a two-year extension of the
civil rights commission.
There is a bipartisan group
Of liberals from New York, New
Jersey. Illinois, Pennsylvania
and other large States which is
expected to push for a bill that
would greatly strengthen the
power Of the Federal govern
ment to enforce school integra-
ton and equal opportunity in

But Senator Russell said to-

that the civil rights issue poses

Humphrey in action.

In motion for some time now.
Today he is of and running
again, racing toward the high
est goal Of all-the Presidency.
Born over a drug store in
Wallace, S. OAK. on May q,
1911. Senator Humphrey be-
came a pharmacist after he
was graduated from the Uni
versity of Minnesota and the
Denver College of Pharmacy.
But the pharmacy business
was to be only a temporary
activity. His principal interest
apparently always was politics.
Early in Political Science
AS an undergraduate at
Minnesota, he specialized in
political science and was elect
ed to Phi Beta Kappa. APP
propriately for q Democrat and
orator, he won a William Jen-
nings Bryan prize for the best
political essay at the university.
Later he taught political SCI
ence at Manchester College in
st. Paul. .-
His formal entry into politics
came in 1943 when he was
nominated for Mayor of Min

chairman of the convention
which brought together the
Democratic and Farmer-LAbor
Parties of Minnesota.
Elected Mayor of Minneapolis

barked on a reform program
which led to reorganization Of
the police department and a
successful campaign against

His administration was mark
ed by the liberalism he still
espouSes. AS mayor. he secured
passage Of a fair employment
practices ordinance and ap-
pointed a committee to attack
problems Of intolerance. racial
discrimination and religious
bigotry.
In 1947 he was reelected
mayor by an even greater plu-
rality than in 1945.
Then in l948 he was elected
to the Senate.
AS a delegate to the Demo-
cratic National Convention that

through a civil rights plank so

The election Of a Republican

have. No date for a meeting

Mr.. Benson described Demo-

prise to any of u.s." The Min

the Secretary's sharpest critics.
Mr.. Benson said he hoped all

supporters Of Scouting in the
past" Permission to extend the
campaign to these new cate
gories was denied, with HWC
contending that a more inten-
sive campaign should be con-
Quoted in the old categories.
The Scouts contend that the
two new categories would only
involve 2/l0 of / per cent of
the CT ON m unity population.
There would be no door Ito door
public appeal. HWC officials,
however, feel the number
reached would surpaSs this esti-
mate. 1t is proven support
ers" Of all the agencies that
make up UGF givers, Mr.. Lee
noted.
/ The Scouts received $3.50, IT'S
from UGF in 1859. Their al
lotment has remained at about
this level for the last three
years, they note, while the area 8
boy population has greatly in
creased. OF the $l73,000 they
will seek this February, $4,000
would go to repay money bor-
rowed for 1859 operating ex-
penses. OF the $4,000 raised
last February, $35,000 went to
pay of money borrowed in 1858.
The total budget for 1860 for
the Scouts National Capital
Area Council is $480,0 900. The
Scouts have asked UGF for
$393,000 The supplemental ap-
peal for $173,000 would make
up the difference between this
amount and the 1858 900 they
expect from UGF, as we'll as re-
paying the $4,000 borrowed
and allowing $4,000 for cam
palgn expenses.
The balance Of the $480 900
would come from special events,
such as Scout exposition ticket
sales, and from other commun-
ity chests outside the UGF area
but part of the Scouts National
Capital Area Council.
The Scouts estimate there
are between 10000 and l8O,-
900 boys within the area COW
cred by the council. and say
they have the responsibility to
provide the opportunity to Join
Scouting to all boys who want
it.
UGF is in a static" position,
the Scouts contend, while their
needs are growing.
But Mr.. Lee declared, THE
only basis on which we could
permit the kind of campaign
which you requested would be
to permit every other agency
receiving UGF funds to conduct
as broad a campaign as they
wished. Such a policy would
spell the end Of united giving.
I'VE are convinced that un-
der the circumstances Of our
present situation the two essen
tial requirements of expanding
services and maintaining the
strengths of united campaign

less both the union and the
companies request such inter-
vention. Mr.. Mcdonald has re-
queSted fact finding with
recommendations, but manage
ment leaders have rejected the
idea.
r. Conrad Cooper, the chief
management negotiator, main
tanned that it is the responsible
ity of the parties to the dispute
to work out their problems
through free collective bar
gining, without interference by
outsiders. Fact-flnders prob
ably would propose an inf1a-
tionary settlement, he warns.
President Eisenhower is in
clined to agree with this view
point. But he may decide it is
better to interfere with collec-
tive bargining informally than
to impose new statutory re-
strictions on labor and manage
ment.
Some lawyers believe Attor-
ney General Rogers could go to
court to seek second 80-day
injunction under the Taft
Hartley Act, without new legis-
lation. But the President would
prefer to act with the formal
backing of Congress.
In addition to an extension
Of the strike injunction, other
possible legislative proposals,
which have less support within
the administration, would pro-
vide for compulsory arbitration,
seizure of the steel mills or
prohibition Of steel strikes.

issue about February IS.
Backs Registration Law
In announcing his candidacy
for the Democratic presidential
nomination yesterday. Senator
Humphrey Of Minnesota called
for passage of a Federal regis
tration law, and said that if ii
is not enacted at the new Ses-
sion, it should be included in
the 1860 Democratic platform.
Senator Javits, Republican
of New York, also announced
recently he would urge PreSi-
dent Eisenhower to add the
Federal Registrar plan to the
administrations civil rights
program. Senator Javits also
favors resumption by the ad-
miniStration of the fight for a
Federal registrar plan to the
authority to use injunctions to
enforce equal opportunity in
any area of civil rights. The
injunction power was approved
by Congress in 1857 for use only
to protect voting rights.
Unconstitutional, He Says
Senator Russell said he is not
sure the present Supreme Court
would agree with him. but he
is firm in his belief it would
be unconstitutional to send
Federal officers into the States
to determine who is eligible to
register as a voter.
The Federal registrar plan
first was advanced last summer
in the report of the Civil Rights
Commission. It would be in
voked in States where citizens
complain of inability to get
their names on the voting rolls.
Senator Russell promised a
fight against ANY extreme"
legislation in this field. but was
not prepared to speculate on
whether there is any civil
rights measure that could get
through without a prolonged
floor battle.

marathon speaking engagement

eight hours with Soviet Pre-
