Mrs. FDR's
Voting
Philosophy

NEW YORK, Sept. 20
(APD. - Eleanor Roosevelt
says she would probably vote
for an inferior Democratic
candidate in a national or
State election over a superior
Republican candidate.
The widow of President
Franklin D. Roosevelt made
the statement in the octo-
ber issue of McCall's Maga-
zine.
She was asked:
IF you were confronted
with an inferior Democratic
candidate and a really
superior Republican candi-
date, which would you vote
for, and why?
She replied:
In a national or State
election, I would probably
vote for the Democrat. I feel
that he would be surrounded
by able people who would
make him live up to the
traditions of the Democratic
Party, at least in a higher
Office.
This does not hold true in
local elections, In these elec-
tions, quite frankly, I think it
is wise to vote for the in
dividual rather than for the
party"

Antonin Novotny is the man
most comparable to Premier Khru-
shchev among the satellite lead
ers. He gave KhruShchev in
valuable political support in the
fall Of 1856 when the Soviet
leadership was being challenged
in Eastern Europe, and like Khru-
shchev, Novotuy holds both the
party and the governmental top
positions in his country. He serves
as President of the Peoples Repub-
lie and First Secretary of the Gen.
tral Committee of the Communist
Party.
The son of a bricklayer, Novotny
trained to be a locksmith in a
small town near Prague. When he
was II in 1921, however, he fore
sock his trade to become an active
member Of the newly formed
Communist Party. His work in
the party, at first. was not out
standing. He served as function
airy in sports groups and consumer
co-operatives. In the 1930s,
though, he was made a member
of the Central Committee of the
Czech Communist Party, and in
1885 he attended the Seventh
Comintern meeting in Moscow.
During the war, he was not
able. like other leaders. to live in
Moscow, but was in a German
concentration camp. After the
war, he served again in minor
posts until 1851 when he sided
with the victorious Gottwald in
a vicious ntra-party feud with
Slansky. AS a result Of his loyalty,
he was made a member of the
Presidium, and when Gottwald
died in 1858, he replaced him as
First Secretary. After Zapotocky
died in 1857, he was chosen Presi-
dent. Novotny has been lavishly
praised by Khrushchev and is
probably the satellite leader he
can most trust.
After the hectic days of 1856,
Khrushchev said some people
thought CZechoslovakia would go
the way of the Hungarian coun-
ter-revolutionaries," but, he add
ed, they didn't know who was
leading Czechoslovakia - and "it
remained true"

Can't Make Promise

In speaking before the Ma
chinistS, the Vice President told
them frankly that he could not
promise 100 per cent support of
their goals any more than he
could promise this to the chamber
of commerce or any other group.
This was a jibe, and an effective
one. at this statement of Mr.. Ken
nedy'S in Detroit on September S:
Il know that the American labor
movement wants for America
what 1 want for America I
know the American labor move
ment opposes what I oppose"
There was one hitch, however.
In criticizing the Senator, Mr..
Nixon paraphrased the Kennedy
remarks to this version: What
the American labor movement
wants is what I am for and what
the American labor movement op-
poses, I oppose"
The Kennedy camp sees this
as more than a case of semantics.
They have accused Mr.. Nixon of
misquoting the Senator, just as
other Republicans have when they
say Mr.. Kennedy recommended
that Mr.. Eisenhower apologize"
to Khrushchev for the U-2 recon-
naissance plane incident of last
May.

tinues to be tight. A recent

of the South for demanding
voting rights is the rather power
full one having to do with their
bread and butter.
Particularly in, rural areas,
many Negroes find themselves
heavily dependent. economically,
on the white community.
Last week, the Justice Depart
ment moved to give these disen-
franchised individuals help in as
serting their rights. 1t sought an
injunction in Federal District
Court in Memphis, Tenn, to pro-
hibit q individuals and two banks
in Haywood County from using
any threats, intimidation or CO.
ercion intended to discourage
Negro voting.
1t was the first time the Civil
Rights Act Of 1857 was used in an
effort to halt alleged economic
pressures by private persons
against would-be Negro voters.
The alleged preSSures were
varied and severe: Firing certain
Negroes from their jobs; refusing
to sell goods or services or to
make loans to others; ending
sharecropping agreements and
circulating among the white
business community" lists Of
Negroes who had registered and
were active in a drive to register
other members of their race.

Civil Rights, Too

With Mr.. Kennedy's religion
and the Democratic civil rights
platform working against the
Senator there, Mr.. Nixon is
making a major effort there.
Many observers see him as a
slight favorite.
Mr.. Kennedy, on the other
hand, is just as determined to
win back Texas for the Demo-
Gratis. He could find cheer in the
fact that ITS, 900 persons came out
to see him in Dallas whereas, the
day before, only 100000 appeared
for Mr.. Nixon.
But the Senator is aware of the
magnitude of his task in Texas,
even with Mr.. johnson as his run
ming mate. Many conservative
Democrats are disenchanted with
the Senate Majority Leader for
going along with the liberal party
platform and accepting a place on
the ticket.
There was more cheerful news
for Mr.. Kennedy when the Inter-
national Association of Machinists
and the Liberal Party of New York
both Endorsed his candidacy. The
latter group, with its nearly 400
900 votes, has been a big factor
on more than one occasion in de-
Gliding which candidate gets New
York's electoral votes.
While Mr.. Kennedy is slated to
get most of the Endorsements
from labor unions, Mr.. Nixon, it
is clear, believes that there are
plenty of rank-and-file members
whose votes he can harvest.

The 47-year-old Premier of the

Mehmet Shehu is the son of
Moslem priest, and was graduated
from an American Vocational High
School which was run in Tirana
by the American Junior Red Cross.
Instead of seeking a trade, how
ever. Shehu decided to become a
career military man. He attended
a military academy in Naples for a
while in 1886, but because of his
anti-Fascist views he was expelled.
He joined the international Bri-
gade in 1887 as a battalion officer
in the Spanish Civil War, fighting
on the side Of the Republicans.
In that same year. he joined the
Spanish Communist Party.
In 1899, he made his way to
France, but was imprisoned there
for three years, finally returning
to Albania in 1912, where he
fought on the side of the partisans
against Axis forces.
After the war, he attended a
military college in Moscow for a
year, and then returned to Albania
where he was made chief of staff
of the army. In 1948, he was
made Minister of the Interior, and
a member of the Central Commit
tee of the Albanian Communist
Party. In 1854, he assumed his
present post of Premier.
