New Sc. PuuI
CRY Attorney
Procficed In Ga.

st. PauTs new city attorney
Robert ]. Swords, although a ma
tive Of Wisconsin, practiced law
in Savannah, Ga, for nine years
it was learned this week.
Swords, 46 year old associate
in the law firm of Sanborn, Jack
son and Rice in the Endicott on
4th Building was named to the
chief st. Paul legal post by Mayor
George Vavoulis last week and
confirmed unanimously by the
city council Tuesday, July IL.
When it was learned by this
paper three weeks ago that Mr..
Swords had been a member of the
bar in a southern city, that cir
cumstance was reported to the st.
Paul NAACP because Of the stub
born resistance to Negro progress
generally among whites in Georgia.
An incomplete check of Swords
record and standing in the bar of
Savannah which is his wife's home
city was made. So far the reports
have not revealed anything in his
record that would indicate he was
inimical to the interests Of Negro
Americans.
Saturday, Mr.. Swords who had
not yet been confirmed was frank
in his answers to questions put to
him by a reporter for this news
paper.
Swords in explaining his resi-
dence and practice in Georgia said
the state was the home of his wife.
He said, II was born and educated
in Wisconsin. I am northern in my
habits and thinking. believe
strongly in the basic principles of
American life which guarantees
all citizens free and equal treat
ment."
Swords who lives at 424 Otis
Ave-, is a member Of the Catholic
faith.
AS an indication as how he feels
Mr.. Swords stated his return to
the north to live and work was
evidence of his devotion to tradi-
tons of Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Twin City Negro and white sup
porters Of fair housing legislation
are particularly sensitive to the
city attorney posts in both cities
since the attorneys in both cities
have previously declared open oc-
cupancy unconstitutional on what
is claimed was city council pres
sures. The opinions of both city
attorneys were recently rendered
doubtful by a New Jersey court
which declared such ordinances
and state statutes constitutional.

pretty close, but was definitely
against the southerners' position.
Six speakers including two SEN
ators and a governor stated the
south's position in speeches that
were downright pitifuI appeals for
mercy to suggestions that the
south's electoral votes might be
withheld from the party's nominee.
Most Of the southerners who
spoke were roundly booed at in
tervals.
The most impressive speeches
made for the strong civil rights
were by platform committee CO.
chairman Chester Bowles, Connec-
ticut Congressman and former Am
bassador to India, Philip Perlman,
former solicitor-general and Mrs.
Patsy Ming Of Hawaii.
Perlman struck the keynote for
the strong plan when he asserted
from this day on one would have
any doubt about the official policy
of the Democratic party" in regard
to racial discrimination.
It was ironic that the strong
plank engineered by the Kennedy
dominated platform committee is
almost word for word what Min
nesota Senator Hubert H. Hum
phrey, erstwhile Democratic Presi-
Dental aspirant has been preaching
for IL years, and for which he has
been penalized on the national pol
itical scene by the south, and in
the north also.
Thus one observer, said the 1860
candidate for President whoever
named will have a civil rights plank
the chief architect of which has
been Humphrey who is in fact a
martyr to the human rights cause.
TEXT OF RIGHTS PLANK
The text of the 1860 civil rights
plank is as follows:
We shall also seek to create an
affirmative new atmosphere IN
which TO deal with racial divisions
and inequalities which threaten
both the Integrity of our democratic
faith and the proposition on which
our nation was founded--that all
men are created equal. ,.
II is our faith in human dignity
that distinguishes our open free
society from the closed totalitarian
society Of the Communists. r,,,
T,be Constitution of the United
states rejects the notion that the
rights Of man means the rights OF
some men only. We reject II too.
The right to vote is the first

of II in certain sections.
In the Congo Republic, the same
pattern exists. In Coquilhatville
capital of Equator province, q
group of demonstrators FLASHED
with troops and security police
The demonstrators were armed
with bows and arrows, spears
sticks and machetes.
In the clash, 10 Of the demon
strators were killed and Is others
wounded. Three soldiers and one
African police commissioner also
suffered injuries.
Before the cessation Of hostiht'
les, the house of the local commits
sioner for youth and sports was
burned down.
The local picture, after two days
of warning between members OF
the rival Bakongo and Bayaka
tribes, has brought the injury toll
to so Africans, with $50 being ar
rested.
In the Kasai province, inter
tribal clashes in the capital Of
Luluabourg over the weekend, re-
suited In one African woman being
slain and several others injured.
Thus, though the Republic OF
Congo is now free. its future still
remains in doubt. Observers are
questioning whether leaders Of the
various groups win forsake Their
differences and work together to
build a strong and unified nation
or If, now that freedom has come

impending Urban Renewal and
Public Facilities plans Of the city.
Many members and neighbors
are affected. Pilgrim Church re-
mains alert on all plans affecting
its neighborhood and plays a lead
ing role in protecting the residents.
Moreover, DR.. Massey outlined
future plans for a double-session
of the church school to accommo-
date the over crowded educational
unit, program for the retired or
aged and young married couples.
The congregation made a tangi-
BILE expression of assistance to the
pastor for his annual vacation in
August.

and set up separate governmental
The latter idea has been repeat
eddy voiced by some Of the groups,
both before and since independ-
ence. In an effort to forestall such
a possibility in the Kasai province
the republic government arrested
leaders Of a rebel faction, led by
Albert Kalonji, Lumumba's rival.
However, in the Equator prov
ince, one Of the poor areas OF
Congo Republic, the Mongo tribe
has announced 1t will establish
rival government. The Mongos
were defeated in the recent pro-
vincial elections.
Overall, these disturbances are
likely to upset the delicate balance
of political power currently resting
between President Joseph Kasav-
ubu and his political opponent
Premier Patrice Lumumba-
Not in this equation, but affect
ing it in great measure, is the con-
siderable power Of the Katanga
region and Moishe Tshombe, its
leader. Tshombe is another one
who has threatened to lead the
Katanga-containing e5 percent Of
the mineral wealth Of the Congo
out Of the nav nation and into
neighboring Northern Rhodesia.
This threat was made when II
seemed that the Congo would be
controlled entirely by LumumDa-

which no other name (unles.
it is the same as yours) will
exactly reproduce. This is not
the same as a split personality;
that is something entirely diff
ferent, and not symmetrical at
all.
Some interesting contours
emerge from this exercise, de-
pending on the tall and short
letters in various names. If we
get the picture, a name like
"Lulubelle" would produce a
jagged, up-and-down affair, not
unlike a Yale key; whereas
Elaine" would produce a
wedge-shaped effect, similar to
a Christmas tree with the
stump sawed off.
Now blacken the whole out
line with pencil or crayon, add
a few connecting lines or flour
ishes to enhance whatever ef-
feet you have in mind, and you
have a symmetrical picture. Or
perhaps the beginnings Of a
Rorschach Test.
This pleasant advertisement
and introduction to the subject
of symmetry in art was tried
out recently by the sixth grad
ers in Mr.. Robert Chaunce's
class at Caledonia School, with
some interesting and often
pretty results. Some Of the
children decided to try for the
jackpot and use their last
names for constructing a SINH
lar picture, but the information
that there is a family of Nc
Gillicuddys at another East
Cleveland school discouraged
them from the attempt.
