THAT WAS surprising. He
was younger than the copy
boy.
II was studying for my
masters degree at the Uni
versity of Arizona. During
the Christmas vacation l got
my first job as a geologiSt.
1T was during the great
uranium hunt in the early
SOS, when the Acc was
Offering a high price to en-
courage the discovery of
deposits.
"A Texas oil millionaire
hired me to help him. He was
to fly over likely areas in his
plane with a scintillator
hanging below. That's a sort
of extra sensitive Geiger
counter.
When it began to buzz he
was to circle and talk to ME
over the adio-telephone. l
was to rush there in a jeep,
check any radiation with my
own Geiger counter, stake
q claim if it was hot and
drive to the land Office and
register it.
II waited all the first day
and no plane. l telephoned
him the next morning at his
Santa Fe hotel. He was re-
luctant about being awak-
ened and said he might be
out that day.
"The truth was he wasn't
so concerned about making
money. I think he had more
millions than he owed. At
any rate he seemed to be
more interested in partying
in Santa Fe.
He finally went on a real
bender and I couldn't get
in touch with him. I was try
ing to tell him I had to go
back to the university to
continue my studies.
II got a graduate geologiSt
to take my place.
wouldn't you know? The
Texan Sobered up. He started
to fly over the area and made
one of the biggest uranium
strikes to date. The geologiSt
who took my place get a

incompetence to be chairman of
the central committee. He
should resign"
Mr.. Lamb declared that Sen
ator Morse is persona non
grata among Republicans in
the District. He added that for
the chairman of the Republi-
can Party to make the state
ment he did proves that he is
not in tune with the more than
10000 registered Republican
voters"
w. John Kenney, chairman
of the D. c. Committee for
Humphrey, said, The Demo-
Gratis do not need Republican
advice. Obviously, the Republi-
cans are only interested in as
surfing that the Democrats NOM
mate their weakest candidate.
8 Years of Incompetence
with the record of incom-
petence of eight years of Re-
publican administration, the
Republicans would be we'll ad-
vised to put their house in
order. The Democrats can and
will take care of them in No
vember."
At the Optimist Club meet
ing. Mr.. Shipley also said he
has been told by Negroes that
they resent the selection OF
Frank Reeves, a Negro attor-
ney, as the Humphrey groups
candidate for Democratic ma
Itional committee man.
Supporters of Senator Morse
have contended that Mr.. Reeves
was chosen by the Humphrey
group solely because he is a
Negro. However, the Humphrey
supporters insist that he was
picked because he is well quail
fed for the post.

The
Rambler
Hears
Two TuIes
By GEORGE KENNEDY

One of the greatest re-
porters Of this century,
Robert Casey of the Chicago
Daily News, used to say that
every man had a story.
The Rambler realized that
one recent day. He had been
appreciating the perfect
spring weather with one OF
his minor bits of explora-
ton.
He was trying to learn
about this earth on a little
walk with a Government
geologist in the gorge of the
Potomac.
All of us were tired, and
that included the copy boy
who had driven us there and
was going to drive us back.
Then a sudden happy
thought: We were just be-
low Anglers lima climb
Of not much more than a
hundred feet. We made it.
THE GEOLOGIST, a very
young man, did not conceal
his enjoyment as he relaxed.
He was seated in a garden
chair and slipping a frozen
daiquiri as the sun went
down behind the trees shad-
ing Miss Madeira's school on
the Virginia side.
This is the life" he said.
And then he noticed some
thing.
Whats that rosette?" he
asked, pointing to the copy
boys lapel.
I hadn't noticed 1t, but
there it was-a military
decoration.
With commendahle re-
luctance the copy boy said it
was a Distinguished Flying
Cross awarded him in Korea.
Korea! The shooting
stopped in 1858.
That copy boy must be
approaching 80.
Funny thing" he said. II
wasn't in the air but in a
hole in the ground"
He was assigned to a Scot
tish regiment to observe our
aerial bombing. But in this
instance he was in a purely
infantry situation, one of
three men in an outpost, an
oversize foxhole. Their func-
tion was to report any enemy
advance.
That's just what happened.
A company of Chinese, about
800 men, advanced and swept
by them. The Scot sergeant
with a walkie-talkie called
for maximum artillery fire.
The response was almost
immediate and it was pretty
rough. They were in the mid
die of it. The Chinese fell
back and the three men in
the foxhole opened fire with
carbines, revealing their po-
sition. They dropped about
a squad of Chinese and the
Chinese, in the haste of their
retreat, did not take time to
kill the three.
This is the life," the
geologiSt repeated as we
nipped the second round. Il
wish I could afford it. Did
you know almost made a
million?'

Two Indicted
In Sayings

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla,
Nov. "a (AP) "A former city
judge and an ex-convict were
indicted today for the murder
of Circuit Judge and Mrs. c. E.
Chillingworth, who disappeared
more than five years ago.
A grand jury returned a first
degree murder indictment
against Floyd A. lucky
Holzapfel, So, in the death of
the Chillingworths and of Lew
Gene Harvey. 2l-year-old Jack
sonville moonshiner.
The grand jury also indicted
Joseph A. Peel, jr., 36-year-old
former city judge, on two
counts as an accessory before
the fact in the Chillingworth
deaths. If convicted, both Peel
and Holzapfel could receive the
death penalty.
George (Baby) Lincoln. 35-
year-old Negro convict, was
granted immunity in both cases
after he turned States witness.
Lincoln, currently serving a
sentence for monnshining, tes-
titled before the grand jury.
The grand jury commended
investigators for their work on
the case.
Holzapfel first related last
month how he and Lincoln
killed Judge Chillingworth, So,
and his wife Marjorie in 1855
by taking the couple from their
oceanside home and drowning
them in the Atlantic.
Holzapfel said Peel wanted
the judge killed because he
feared Judge Chillingworth
planned to seek his disbarment.
Lincoln told how he and
Holzapfel took the judge and
his wife from their home and
out to see where they were
loaded with chains and dumped
overheard. The bodies were
never recovered.
Lincoln said Harvey was
killed because he was an in
former. His body was found
in a canal in November, 1858.

to which it was relegated twenty
years ago. The Minneapolis hous-
ing problem, as it relates to nom
whites has become progressively
worse rather than better.
While Negroes have been re-
legated to six areas in the past,
they were numerically the minori-
ty in each of these areas. Urban
renewal and freeway development
have created a population shift
which has made for an increased
concentration Of Negroes in the ex-
listing Negro areas" Unless there
is a relaxation of practices of rae
ial discrimination in housing, Min
neapolis will join the ranks of
older northern cities which now,
without legal sanction, do in fact
have racially segregated schools
and youth serving centers. If racial
segregation in schools is not good
for Mississippi, Alabama, Arkan-
sas and Virginia then it certainly
is not good for Minneapolis. If
community leaders. including men,
bers of the real estate industry,
do not assume leadership in pro-
viding workable solutions to this
number one race relations prob
lem, we can cross the Mill City
off as one of the American cities
which is striving to become a bull
wark of democracy. This should
not happen to our city with its
enviable previous record Of facing
up to its race relations problems
and taking positive action to pro-
mote equality Of opportunity for
all Of its citizens.

A SIS, 900, 900 housing project for
Negroes was started in New Or
leans, inspired by a local League
survey. Officials of the national
Housing Department meet with
government officials, bankers and
builders to persuade them to re-
move restrictions and to plan in
terracial projects. At the Leagues
urging, President Eisenhower
called industry leaders to Wash
ington to discuss the problem of
housing for minorities.
Research is vital to all these
activities. The Leagues tactics are
cooperation, persuasion, education
based on facts.
1t is rewarding to compare these
accomplishments with the goals set
by the handful of social workers
whose efforts led to the formation
of the League Movement in 1910.
They faced the conflicts that
came with rising tide of migra-
ton from southern farmlands to
northern manufacturing cities. The
newcomers, ill-prepared, came pur-
suing the promise of a bright fu-
ture based on a steady paycheck
and were funnelled into squalid
slums and exploited.

With DR.. Haynes leadership, the
League set to work. A fellowship

Urban League Fellows" received
training in schools of social work,
and were sent out to organize local

To date 1913 fellowships have been

So branches were established in
Louisville, Memphis, Nashville and

met the migrants arriving in New

them first to temporary shelter
and then to their first jobs.
Reading, Writing Child Care
The newcomers needed more.
The League organized classes in
reading and writing, child care and
in semi-slxiIled and skilled trades.
1t developed play groups for thou
sands of children. But the magni-
tude of the problem faced the
Leagues tiny staff. It called for
action to strike deep-action that
would act as a lever to gain funda-
mental results.
League workers started calling
on mayors, health commissioners
and boards Of education to ask
that public services be accorded
to all. They began to persuade
