Harveys second swim of the day.
After church Sunday he went to
Calhoun for his first swim return
ing home later he still complained
of the heat to his mother Mrs.
Frank Harvey. He said he wanted
to go for another swim.
His mother suggested that since
he had been swimming once he
should not go again.
The drowning occurred shortly
before 6 pm. when Harvey who
was said to be a fair swimmer
dived off the Nokomis dock about
IS feet from shore.
Willy Spicer, who was on the
dock when James dived in, said he
became alarmed when he did not
come up from the dive.
He shouted for help from other
swimmers on the beach and began
to dive for Harvey. After a frantic
search for about five minutes Har-
vey was found in nine feet of
water.
An attempt to phone the fire
department inhalator squad was
forestalled because the phone at
the beach was broken and no life
guards are on duty at this time Of
the year. Willy had to drive to a
filling station several blocks away
to call for help.
Meanwhile an unidentified woman
tried mouth to mouth respiration
on Harvey but he failed to revive.
The fire department inhalator
squad arrived Is minutes later but
was also unsuccessful in reviving
the man.
Harvey was a bus boy at Cul-
bertson's Cafe, 1915 Excelsior Boul.

SoeioIogists Study
What The Negro
Really WuntS

New York (ANP) - If Southern
whites knew what Negroes really
want, white resistance to change
and racial tension might be lessen
ed, two Southern sociologists said
here last week.
The view, contained in a study
of what the two racial groups be-
lieve are the true aspirations Of
Negroes, was presented at a ses-
sion on race relations of the Amer
lean Sociological Association.
The study, based on responses
of a random sample Of adults from
both races in a Southern urban
community, was made by DR..
Charles NJ. Grigg and DR.. Lewis
M. Killian Of Florida State Univ
ersity, Tallahassee.
Whites were asked to rank six
possible Negro goals in the order
they would resist most and in the
order in which they believed Ne
groes desired them.
Negroes were asked to rank the
goals in the order in which they
would like to see them achieved.
The goals were:
The chance to vote without re-
striction.
Freedom to visit in white homes.
swim in the same places and eat
in the same restaurants.
Equal job opportunities, pay and
promotion.
An end to public school segrega-
ton.
An end to segregation in public
transportation and sports events.
Negroes, DR.. Kallian said, listed
their preferences in this order:
Job opportunities.
Legal equality.
Indignation of public transporta-
ton and sports events.
Indignation Of schools.
Equality in voting.
Freedom in personal relations.
Whites, he said, although gener-
ally lacking an accurate concep-
ton of Negro aspirations, revealed
wide differences Of opinion on the
subject.
Those who had gone beyond high
school had the most nearly accur-
ate picture of Negro preferences.

Area Assistance

For five years in a row l have
recommended area assistance
legislation. Regrettably I had
no choice but to veto the legis-
lation the Congress did pass
this session. 1t would have
frittered the taxpayers money
away in areas where it was not
needed and on programs that
would not have benefited those
truly in neeo of help.
A new area assistance bill,
with administration backing,
was introduced Immediately
after my veto. 1t would chan
mel more help directly into
stricken areas than any pre-
viouS measure proposed. Failure
to act will deny this help for
months to come. Human dis
treSS demands action now. If
later we find there should be
changes either in the dollar
amounts or the methods used,
experience will dictate the kind
of adjustments to be made.
Last January I estimated
that, if the Congress would
adhere to my appropriation and
revenue recommendations, we
could look forward to a budget

then, however, the spending

Congress to enact proposed new

Senate Faces
Half Dozen Of
Major Issues
BY the Associated Press

These are some of the major
issues facing the post-conven-
tion session of Congress OPEN
ing today:
Minimum Wage Awaiting
Senate action is a bill to in
crease the present 81 an hour
minimum to $1.25 in three
stages by January /, 1868, and
to extend coverage to some 3
million to S million workers
presently excluded. A House.
passed bill would limit the in
crease to $1.15 and extend COW
erage to an estimated IA mil
lion employees of retail chains
operating in two or more States.
Medical Care-The Senate
Finance Committee has COM
lpleted hearings on various pro-
posals to provide health and
medical care for persons over
%. Some Democrats proposed
expansion Of the social security
system to finance the cost, an
arrangement opposed by the
Eisenhower administration. The
administration favors a system
OF Federal-State grants outside
the social security program and
similar to a more limited bill
passed by the House.
Foreign Aid-The Senate Ap-
propriations Committee is ex-
pected to act this week on
President Eisenhower's request
for $4,l85, 100000 in foreign
aid funds-some $500 million
more than voted by the House.
Public WOrks-Awaiting Sen
ate action is a $4,030,010,605
money bill to finance flood con-
troll. river and harbor, and re-
clamation projects. This is
about $50 million above Mr..
Eisenhower's request and Sis
million more than voted by the
House.
Aid to Education-The House
Rules Committee is blocking
action on sending to a Senate
House conference committee
widely varying Senate and
House bills. The House voted
to limit aid to school construc-
ton; the Senate bill would in
clude teacher pay.
HOusing-The Rules Com
mlttee also is blocking House
action on a bill to extend and
expand various Federal housing
aid programs.
Defense Funds-Congress al
ready has passed $40 billion
defense money bill, but new
platforms of both major parties
call for strengthening national
defense and there have been
calls for additional defense ap-
preparations Immediately.

do my part. I am. sure that the
Congress will be similarly dis
posed.
First, the world situation,
with its great significance tous.
Fundamentally, it is as it was.
The free world still faces a
Communist imperialism fixed
upon conquest of all the world.
Vigilance, therefore. must
still be our watchword. Con-
tinuing strength, military eco
nomic, spiritual, must remain
our reliance. Our basic OBJ
jective-to secure a permanent
peace-is yet to be won. Our
programs have long been keyed
to this situation. They must
continue.
During the congressional re-
cess events have dramatized
tensions that still plague the
world.
We have seen an intensified
ton of Communist turbulence.
Indeed, the Soviet dictator has
talked loosely and irresponsibly
about a possible missile attack
on the United States.
An American aircraft has
been attacked over irterna-
tionalwaters. Our resolution
requesting an investigation of
this matter has been vetoed by
the Soviets in the United Ma
tions Security Council. Sur
viving crew members are still
being held prisoner.
The Soviet delegation has
walked out Of the Geneva dis
armament negotiations.
The Communists continue to
exploit situations of unrest,
flagrantly striving to turn to
their ends the struggles and
hopes of peoples for a better
world. These Communist ef-
forts have recently reached new
extremes in Central Africa.

Byrd Still Silent
On Whether He'll
Support Kennedy
By the Associated Press

Senator Harry F. Byrd,
Democrat of Virginia, refused
to commit himself today on
whether he will support the
Democratic presidential ticket
in November.
Senator Byrd is the most in
fluential political leader in Vir-
ginia, which voted Republican
for President Eisenhower in
1852 and 1856. The Senator said
in response to inquiries that he
has no comment at this time
on the coming election"
Senator Byrd returned to the
Capitol today after a vacation
in Europe.
His support could have an
important bearing on Demo-
cratic hopes for carrying his
State for Senator Kennedy of
Massachusetts,, the party stand
ard bearer. and might have in
f1uence elsewhere in the South.
He is one of the leaders of
the group of Southern Demo-
Gratis who fought the civil rights
bill passed this year. The party
subsequently adopted a strong
civil rights plank in it's 1860
platform.
