President-Elect Takes
Wife and Baby Home

WASHINGTON Up - President
elect John F. Kennedy took his
wife and baby son home today
from Georgetown University Hos
pital where John Fitzgerald Jr.
was born just two weeks ago.
Both parents wore happy smiles
as Mrs. Kennedy rode in wheel
chair to the door of the hospital.
There she got out of the chair
and stepped into waiting auto
mobile.
Miss Luella Hennessy, Mrs.
Kennedy's nurse, carried the
baby, wrapped in blankets SO
closely his face could not be
seen.
Reporters and photographers
lined a pathway in the lobby and
flash bulbs popped as Kennedy
pushed the rolling chair through,
ooh, Jack, please keep going"
Mrs. Kennedy said as her hus-
band paused.
But she was smiling as she said
it.
She wore a pert red beret and
a smart black and white checker
ed tweed suit.
1t was only a four-minute ride
to the Kennedy home.
Mrs, Kennedy also got a cheer
from newsmen and bystanders as
the car pulled up in front of the
house. She smiled, murmured
"thank you very much" and then
walked quickly into the house.

In announcing the decision
Saturday, the businessmen beat
leadline' by two months that they
had requested on August 1, when
the ordinance was introduced by
Mayor Don Hummel. While the
proposed ordinance had the sup
port of approximately 80 religious
civic and social organizations, it
was opposed by business interests,
the Tucson Chamber of Commerce
and the Tucson Motor Hotel Associ-
alton, in particular. These groups
claimed that 70 per cent of their
members did not practice racial
discrimination They asked for
time to convert the remaining 30
per cent to their thinking.
Mayor Hummel had appointed
a Human Relations Committee in
1855, whose duty it was to de
Itermine the nature and scope of
discrimination or denial of rights
guaranteed by law Since the
| Committee had uncovered evil
dence of un-democratic practices,
very often against foreign stu
dents at the University of Ari-
zona, since the establishments
failed to desist in the practices
completely during the five-year
existence of the Human Relations,
the Mayor called for legal action.
Referring to the case of foreign
students, Mayor Hummel said,
This results in embarrassment
to the State Department and casts
lour city and country in an I'M
favorable light" He also pointed
to the failure of the Arizona State
Legislature to pass such legis-
Ilation for eight consecutive terms.
Mayor Hummel was backed strong
ly by IMPACT, composed of repre-
|sentatives of social, civic and re-
|ligious organizations. ''Nf
Just prior to the agreed cool
ing-off-period, the Tucson NAACP
representative threatened to picket
or stage sit-ins against any re-
calcitrant establishments refusing
Negroes service. 1h'ess'
However, the NAACP spokes-
men said they would indulge in
watchful waiting until the pre-
scribed deadline of December 1,
which was agreed to.
AS originally drawn up, the or
dinance is actually very mild. The

Africans Resent
MeddIing In
Nations Affairs

NEW YORK An African
statesman upbraided, Soviet Pre-
mier Nikita Khrushchev this week
for speaking in the name of the
Congo on questions that exclusive
ly concern the internal affairs of
the country" The charge was
made by Justin Bomboko, high
commissioner of Foreign Affairs
of the Congo, speaking over Radio
Liberty.
According to BombokO, Khrush-
chev'S statement that the Soviet
government gives legal recognit
ion only to the government of
Premier Patrice Lumumba was
somewhat of a surprise to the
CongoleSe. 'Thus it is Khrushchev
who decides for the Congelese
their constitutional question ="
said Bomboko, who heads t h e
Congolese delegation to the I'm
tied Nations.

lese delegation from the capital of
Brazzaville," he continued "said
this to me regarding Khruschev's
and President Nkrumah's (of
! Ghana speeches. These people
are acting as if they were more
CongoleSe than the Congolese peo-
pie themselves. -
In other broadcasts, Radio Lib
erty has pointed out that Dag
Hammarskjold, U. NJ Secretary
general is very popular in h e
Afro-Asian countries, thanks to his
firm policy, which led in 1856 to
the withdrawal of French and
English forces from the Suez Ca
nal Zone.
Charles Okala, foreign affair
minister of Cameron, another new
African nation, also shared Bonn
boko's views on Soviet interference.
Even before the General Assem-
bly, meeting began September 20,
Radio Liberty predicted that the
African states would become the
apple of contention of the big
powers. 1.-The victory of the Afro
Asian nations on the Congo quest
ion and the admission of IA small
neutral states to the UN member
ship symbolic the beginning of a
new era of history of that organ
ization." Radio Liberty broadcast.
1.-The small nations will probably
have the decisive vote in the near
future" the radio continued
"And that is why Khruschev and
President Eisenhower will do
everything to align these nations
on their respective sides"

Of Pool Protested

KANSAS CITY, MO-, T h e

The course is being held in

strict Jim Crow policy. Miss
Gloria Newton, president of the

pressed disappointment at this
action by such worthy and pat
riotic organization.
I'VE feel that by patronizing
Fairyland Park" Miss Newton
said in her letter to the Red Cross
unit, "you undermine those basic
ideologies upon which the Ameri
can Red Cross was founded ant
which you yourself are pledged tc
support.
I'm the heart of America in 1866
there is no excuse for patronizing
la segregated park when there are
so many integrated parks with
ample facilities.
Each year when you solicit the
contributions upon which you will
Operate in the coming year, you
accept all funds. Consequently, il
there is no discrimination at that
time, it is unthinkable that there
should be some now," Miss New
ton concluded.
