to shoot him when he himself
opened fire on a road near the

in great fear Of Dugan, largely
because of his criminal record.
The prosecution contended
that Mr.. White stalked Dugan
and killed him with a bullet in
the back.

to the Clark bill.

Chairman Johnston of the Sem

the bill, 6 to 8, following hear

Chairman Murray of the

"Modern" Republicanisn is just
a phrase, meaning nothing.
For Republicans this struggle
is just as bitter and significant as
the MEMORIALS North South
cleavage.
This is the way it now shapes
up:
The liberal Republicans have
apparently decided to support
Sen. George D. Aiken of Vermont
for floor leader in place of retir-
ing Sen. William F. Knowland.
Even if they should finally settle
on. someone other than Aiken
they have definitely decided to
make a fight against the pre-ar-
ranged selection of Sen. Everett
M, Dirksen of Illinois.
There are several reasons be-
hind the "insurrection".
The liberal faction, headed by
Sens. Cooper of Kentucky, Javlts
of New York and Case of New
Jersey, believes the November
elections were a rebuff to the
COP Old Guard. In their judg-
ment this was true from coast-to-
coast, except for Arizona. So
they feel that any chance of vic
tory in 1860 means. the party
must move in the modern man

In addition to the prediction
maneuvering, they believe that a

be victory for Sen. Styles

is generally recognized as leader
of the party's ultra-conservative
bloc. A main objective of the lib

that such an accomplishment is
possible only because people in
the Southern Region are so BIZ
goted and prejudiced. My own
feeling is that an editor could do
the same thing in any other part
of the United States, if he had
your flair and set out with as
much determination as you have
exhibited. Not only could he lose
all his local circulation, but he
could create sympathetic circula-
ton in other regions. The same
thing is being done by a Jewish
editor in one of the Carolinas -
probably you know the fellow
mean. 1t would be interesting to
me to see how an editor would
proceed to outrage his local read
ers in other regions of this coun-
try. I wonder if you agree with
me that this would be possible?
I am disturbed, in thinking
about what you are doing, to con-
slider that your newspaper is not
making a constructive contribu-
ton to the area which, geograph-
ically, it should serve. If every

Bias Hurts Southern Credit
Even before the Supreme Court
gave a buns rush to the 200 or
more massive resistance" laws
passed by Southern states, it be-
came obvious that segregation
was in an increasingly precarious
position.
Take the subject of school
bonds, for instance. Segregation
has made the financing of school
construction in the South more
and more difficult and expensive.
One New York bank executive
told The New York Times that
many of his trust accounts would
no longer accept school bonds of
certain Southern states. Another
reported that casualty insurance
companies were also leery about
buying such securities. A third
investment banker said he would
not underwrite a Southern school
district bond issue until the seq
regation problem is settled, or at
least until the emotional upset
dies down.
To counter such sentiments,
