chairman of the committee,
said.
These proposals will now be
sent to the District chapters

ton. The group meets March 6.
Meanwhile. the Regional
Blood Committees executive
board was to meet today to
consider the proposals. This
group consists largely of rep
resentatives of the State Red
Cross chapters as well as Of the
District chapter.
The report, revealed Sunday
by The Star, was made at no
charge by McKinsey and Co.
of New York and Washington
at the request of the Districts
Blood Program Committee.
This committee and the District
chapter are largely responsible
for running the blood bank.
Some IS State chapters con-
tribute money and blood to the
Blood Center. but the chapters
have felt they are not ade-
quately represented in running
the bank.
At the same time the report
recommended that the med
ical profession be given
stronger representation.
Basically, the proposals
would reorganize the Regional
Committee, giving it full au-
thority over the blood bank.
The District chapter would
have nine members on the
committee. District /, includ-

He asked Mr.. Afford If he was

Mr.. Afford replied that the
Governor (Gov. Orval Faubus)
had been there only several
days and that he has said many
times that he left the school
after he found out the nature
of the group. Mr.. Afford added
that the Governor has an out

been cleared in every way
possible.
Mr. Thompson replied that

of himself when he drank.
Mrs. Lehman died Of a cere-

Politics in ~
Case Denied
By the Associated Press

An unsuccessful applicant in
the disputed Boston television
case says he once heard rumors
that politics had entered the
contest and the White House
was involved.
But Forester A. Clark. vice
president of Massachusetts, Bay
Telecasters. Inc. said he was
told Sherman Adams got on
the phone and told Communi-
cations Commission Chairman
George McConnaughey "he
could count on no influence
from the White House."

day of a special commission

The award went to Station

Tells Of Lunch
Mr.. Clark told Of having a
private lunch with Mr.. McCon-
naughey in a hotel room in
1856 to ask for fair play in the
consideration of the TV case,
for which there were four appli-
cantS.
He also testified that he con-
tacted Henry Cabot Lodge,
United States Ambassador to
the United Nations; former Sec
rotary of Commerce Weeks and
Presidential Assistant Robert
Cutler.
But Mr.. Clark said all of this
had only one purpose-to try
to prevent the injection of pol
itics into the case.
Mr.. Clark said he contacted

part Of, a one-world govern
ment operated from Moscow.
Mr.. Affords speech, made
at the close Of days session
and for which he had reserved
so minutes-proved a lively
discussion among some North
erners and Southerners.
Mr.. Afford said he is
alarmed at the complacency
Of some officials toward the
menace of communism" and
that he is concerned that the
Justice Department yields. as
he put it, to the pressure OF
such IAN organization as the
NAACP (National Association
for the Advancement Of Col
ored People,"
Good Citizens Are Pawns
He said "a few good Negro
citizens have become pawns OF
this international conspiracy
without being conscious, in the
beginning, Of its vicious intent
Of creating mass agitation to
divide and conquer"
At one point in his talk Mr..
Afford mentioned Harry Ash
more, editor of the Arkansas
Gazette, Little Rock. He re-
ferred to him as "the renegade
journalist editor Of the Arkan-
sas Gazette :. who has profited
quite materially in the capital
iStic line by writing detrimental
articles about his native South
land"
Mr.. Afford said Mr.. Ashmore
was an incorporation of the
Arkansas Council on Human
Relations and that he was a
director Of a foundation which
raised funds for the Southern
Regional Council.
Previously Mr.. Afford had
said the Southern Regional
Council was founded by James
E. jackson, whom he identified
as a "Moscow-trained Negro"
Mr.. Jackson, he said, now is in
Moscow.
AshmOre Defended
Later, Representative Lind
say, Republican of New York,
said there is no doubt that
Communists have used racial
unrest to further their cause.
But, he said, THAT is no excuse
for the type Of indictment
that has occurred where re-
sponsible men such as Harry
Ashmore are placed in the
same boat :. >. with members of
the Communist Party"
Mr.. Afford said that in re-
ferring to Mr.. Ashmore he had
stated nothing relative to
communism"
But Representative Wayne
Hays, Democrat of Ohio. OBJ
served that as he understood
Mr.. Affords reference, II got
the impression it was not favor
able to Mr.. Ashmore."
" Mr.. Afford agreed it was not
favorable.
Mr.. Lindsay said he could
not understand ANY broad
scale statement to the effect
that Harry Ashmore or sup
porters Of his are, in fact, being
used by members Of the Com
munist Party who are creating
racial unrest for their own in
sidous purposes"
Mr.. Afford named several
persons whom he identified as
Communists who had had a
hand in stirring up racial
trouble in the South.
Picture Called Staged
He told the House that dur
ing the Little Rock school dis
orders in 1857 a picture was
widely distributed showing a
white woman comforting a
Negro girl.
1t was a staged picture, Mr..
Afford said. The white woman
he identified as "a Communist
functionary" by the name of
Grace Lorch. He said Mrs

In his address Thursday Dr.
Mays said: only those who walk
the high road are truly free. If it
is true that only the disciplined
mind is free, certainly the man
who walks the middle way and he
who walks the low way can hard
ly be free.
DR.. Mays told the University
commencement class.
Those who walk the low road
are slaves to the things that are
low, mean and base. They are the
creatures of passion, low aims,
and vicious habits. BY and large,
those who defend the middle way,
the status quo. are usually slaves
to their environment, to tradition,
to the mores, and to what they
fear their friends may think If
they live contrary to the current
patterns of behavior.
mo man is free who is afraid
to speak the truth as he sees it,
afraid to stand for what he be-
lieves to be right, and who fears
his political, social, or economic
future will be jeopardized If he
stands and acts on the principles
of truth, justice, and democracy
The politician whose main aim
us to make excessive protit, the
Imam who must know IN advance
what win happen to his social and
economic security before he takes
a position, in this age of turmoil
and indecision, can never be free.
"Only the disciplined mind is
free; disciplined and free to pur-
sue truth and proclaim it, when
to do so is unpopular; disciplined
and free to live without prejudice
when to do so is dangerous; dis
ciphned and free to walk the high
road when to do so may lead to
social ostracism, death or impris-
onment.
