President Accepts
Scot Federation Bid

EDINBURGH, Aug. 8 (AP)
Eisenhower and the
Prime Ministers of Britain,
Canada. Australia and New
Zealand have promised to be
patrons of the new World Fed
Grafton Of Scottish Societies
and Individuals.
Lord Bruce, executive chair
man, said the President was
so enthusiastic he applied for
membership as a Scot "by ap-
pointment at Culzean Castle. 4"
This refers to the Ayrshire cas-
tie suite presented to Eisen-
hover by Scotland in recogni-
ton of his World War II serv-
ices.

President Eisenhower feels
that Representative Halleck,
Republican Of Indiana, is doing
a good job of achieving unity
among House Republicans
unity which the President be-
lieves was lacking during his
first term.
During his first term, Mr..
Eisenhower is known to feel,
most Republican House mem
bers had been in the party in
opposition to the White House
for so long that they were in
the habit Of tearing down any
President. Although a Repub-
lican, they still tended to OPP
pose him, just as they did his
Democratic predecessors.
Mr.. Halleck has changed
this, Mr.. Eisenhower feels, be-
lieving there has been a great
improvement in party unity.
Since his reelection to the
Presidency in 1856, Mr.. Essen
hover has thought a lot about
why he won by a 9.5 million
vote margin over Adlai Steven
son while his party lost control
of the House.
He hasn't come up with an
answer. But he thinks it possible
that people made a distinction
between the national ticket and
Congress, with legislative can
didates promising bridges and
dams and winning on local
issues.
Mr.. Eisenhower still declines
to state his choice for the 1860
Republican presidential NOM
ination. But he is known to
feel that Vice President Nixon
stands a chance because of his
experience and broad partici-
patton in government, despite
the traditional convention
practice of turning to others
than Vice Presidents for the
top spot on national tickets.
Only three men - John
Adams, Thomas jefferson and
Martin Van Buren-were elect

Gov. Rockefeller Of New
York did not throw his hat into
the ring last week in Puerto
Rico. He handed 1t 70 the
pollsters, thereby becoming the
first politician in history for
mally to apply for victory in
surance before the start of the
race.
II the folks want him, they
can have him, he indicated.
The men with the clipboards
will decide his fate. Gov.
Rockefeller seems to be trying
to reduce to an exact science
what has always been an IRA
tional art. 1t isn't politics, it's
poll-i-tics.
Everyone understands Mr..
Rockefeller's problem. 1t is
not good form to come right
out and say you want the Pres
idency. You must create the
impression that you are not
running for the White House
but that the White House is
stalking you, and can overtake
you as you bend over to tie
your Shoelace,
Breaks Precedent
Mr.. Rockefeller's declaration
breaks precedent in that it is
neither demure nor dashing
The dashing approach is rare,
and best exemplified by another
Republican, Wendell Willkie,
who, in an aside at a Press Club
luncheon in 1914, growled,
People keep asking me If ]
am a candidate. OF course ]
am a candidate :"
Such forthrig htness is
frowned on. The classical ap-
proach is to write a letter to
someone who has entered your
name in a primary, gracefully
bowling in acceptance of the
trophy for which you have
been clawing and scrambline
for months.
Thus the then Gov. Roose-
welt Of New York wrote to a
North Dakota party official in
March IS, 1882:
If it is the desire of our
party in your State that my
name be presented in your
coming primaries as the can
didate for the Democratic
nomination for the presidency,
I willingly give my consent
with full appreciation for the
honor that you have done me.
It is the simple duty of any
American to serve in public
position if called upon. One
who believes in new standards
of government for meeting
new problems must well
come a chance to do his share
towards that end"
Mr.. Rockefeller's handling
Of a sticky problem may not
please the sporting element.
But at least he's gotten over
the first hurdle, while all the
others are still scufing their
toes in the dirt.

Negro applications to white
schools, such as geographic
location, academic achievement,

Nixon Counts on Polls
ToI .oIt Rockefeller
By the Associated Press

Vice President NxonS friends counting heavily poll
results to discourage New York Gov Nelson Rockefeller from
bidding for the 1860 G. o. p presidential nomination
If the Vice Presidents associates uncertain before
they from last weeks Conference
Juan Puerto Rico convinced that Gov Rockefeller looking

for an excuse to get into the
contest.
Gov. Rockefeller made it
plain at San Juan that an ex-
pected November decision on
whether to buck Mr.. Nixon for
the nomination will be in
fluenced in a major way by
what the pollsters hired by him
find out about the relative
standings at that time.
A Rockefeller decision to
challenge the Vice President
apparently would be based pri-
marily on any indications that
Mr.. Nixon could not defeat
some Of the leading Democratic
candidates.
Aim of Polls
The Rockefeller polls appar-
emily would be aimed at test
ing the Governors strength
not only among Republicans
but among independents and
Democrats as well.
If these showed Gov. Rookie
Teller with greater overall
strength than Mr.. Nixon or in
dicated that the Governor,
while trailing, was climbing
rapidly, the decision probably
would be to run. In the latter
case, Gov. Rockefeller would
be gambling that the curve Of
his popularity would continue
to go up and Mr.. Nixon's would
go down.
This is where Mr.. Nixon's
friends think their candidate
may get a windfall. They be-
iieve the surge Of publicity
about the Vice Presidents visit
to Russia and Poland will be
reflected this fall in an in
crease in his popularity in the
regular public opinion polls.
This has been the result Of
past events Of this nature, par
ticularly Mr.. Nixon'S stormy
Latin American tour last year
Mr.. Nixon's associates feel he
added to his political stature
at home by his verbal jousts
with Soviet Premier Nikita
Khrushchev.
Timing Held Key
Some Of Gov. Rockefeller's
friends think that, as far as
the polls are concerned, he
would be better advised to put
off a decision until January

York Governor can hardly af-

Youth Concerts Win

somehow or other. we did find
time to do IA Of them.
More than 10000 persons,
some Of whom arrived four
hours early in order to be sure
of seats, heard the National
Symphony in q gigantic out
door concert sponsored by the
Student Union Of San Andres
University and the mayor OF
La Paz, Bolivia. The crowd.
overfiowing a huge amphithe-
alter onto grassy slopes, simply
wouldn't let us leave. After two
encores, the orchestra was dis
missed and still the audience
clamored for more. ! returned
six times to the bare stage to
acknowledge the ovation.
AS our buses crept through
pedestrian traffic jams on the
way back to our hotels, the
crowds lined the streets, still
applauding and cheering. Sure
ly this was one Of the greatest
moments in the history of the
orchestra!
So it went all over Latin
America, in Brazil, in Trinidad,
in the Netherlands West In
dies, in Venezuela, Costa Rica,
Honduras, Nicaragua, FL Sal
vador, Guatemala and Mexico.
Our programs for younger
children normally consist of
nine or 10 shorter compositions
designed to show of the var
ious sections Of the orchestra.
The fare is varied, but 1t is all
good music, ranging from Mo-
cart and Villa-LoboS to John
Philip SouSa.
Pop Goes the Weasel
Each Of our Latin American
concerts was explained by a
Spanish or Portuguese speak
ing commentator. In Bogota,
one Of them translated Pop
Goes the Weasel" as "Pedro's
Going to Whistle" The kids
loved it. And we got the same
reaction to the William Tell
Overture that we do in the
United States-proof that the
Lone Ranger rides high down
there, too.
We Travelled 1900 miles and
gave So performances in 10
countries. The tour was more
than worth both the effort and
expense. Since music-or any
other art FORMS a magnif1-
cent way to make friends, !
know the National Symphony
has brought our country into
the hearts Of the people of
Latin America.
BY putting a heavy emphasis
on youth, we put an even bet
ter foot forward every time.
We impressed the older folk
favorably by playing for their
children. We became known
as innovators, since youth pro-
grams are virtually unknown
in Latin America. Most i'm
portant of all, we made friends
among the future leaders Of
these countries.
One orchestra cannot do this
tremendously important job
alone. These people are starved
for a chance to learn about
our culture. They should get
this opportunity in the form
of visiting symphonies, drama
groups. allet companies and
art shows of all sorts as fire.

people.
The first Of our Music for
Young Latin America" concerts
was scheduled for Bogota. Co
lombia, and I look back on 1t
with even more feeling than
! do the 15-minute standing
ovation of our first evening in
Buenos Aires.
Bogota teens with q parti-
cularly sorrowful kind Of child.
He Is called simply "perdito"-
abandoned. He has no home
and lives by his wits from a
pitifully early age. Seeing so
many of these little ragamuffins
about the streets, the orchestra
decided that this initial youth
concert would be theirs alone.
The performance was sched-
uled for the magniflcently
rocco Teatro Colon, where we
had played for Colombian Pres
ident Alberto Lleras Camargo
the night before. The theater
management was more than a
little nervous about putting its
velvet at the mercy of a horde
of little beggars, but I have
never seen a better behaved
children's audience in my life.
They were all somewhat awe
struck by the splendor Of the
building. But the moment the
musicians descended into the
audience with instruments to
show them. squeals of delight
and surprise rang out in happy
cacophony all over the hall.
All Sing Anthem
This lasted until time for the
formal concert to begin. This
was the first children's pro-
gram ever presented in Botoga,
although the CITY has its own
symphony.
With the start of the music,
we had the worlds most atten-
tive audience, and at the end
Of each number, the worlds
most heartwarming cheers. In
order to close the program on
time I asked the youngsters
5000 of them-to stand and
join US in singing their own
stirring national anthem. They
sang it loud and clear, with a
better tempo and verve than
their compeers in the United
States. When 1t was over, there
was not a dry eye in the or
cheStra.
We could not have found a |
more wonderful way to reach
the hearts of the Latin Ameri-
can people. For many Of these
children, their first personal
knowledge of our country was
a free treat-an introduction
to fine music given them by an
orchestra sent by the President
Of the United States to play
just for them.
Overwhelming Ovation
After that we were lombard
ed by requests for similar per.
Torrance at every stop. De-
spite an already jam-packed
itinerary, the members of the
orchestra felt that we should
continue these special pro-
grams, and agreed to play them
without pay. It was impossible
to fulfill all requests, but. !

6 Assigned by Board

The school board. using the
placement law, cut to six the
number of students assigned
to white schools; three to Gen.
trail and three to Hall. The rest
were assigned to Horace Mann
High School for Negroes.
Asked if the board would
fight the motion, School Board
President Everett Tucker, jr.
replied:
IT don't guess we have any
choice"
Mr.. Tucker said any pupil
not satisfied with an assign
ment could request re-assign-
ment and the board will give
full and prompt consideration
to all such requests in the
specified in the regu-
lations."

Wednesdays month ahead OF

last year by Gov. Orval E

carried the names of two Ne
groes who attended Central in
the violence-ridden fall of 1857
-Thelma Mothershed and Mel
ba Patillo-and also that OF
William j.. MaSSie, jr. All three

(alD Negro students who pre-
sent themselves for admission

high schools as they may be
entitled to enter pursuant. to

No date was set for court
action on the motion, filed by

Hours before the motion was
received by mail at the Fed
