1t would be good thing if, in this
session of Congress, final approval could
be given to establish an Office of Inter

Senate and now before House commit

to encourage tourists from abroad to
visit the United States.
Interest in the proposal was gener-

The entire voyage of the

pletely new facts about the
ice belt around Antarctica
and the manner in which ice
bergs are carried out into the
ocean. 1t is now clear that
there is no continuous belt
of floating ice surrounding
the entire continent. Ice was
only encountered in the re-
gionS influenced by the cy-

parts the belt of marine ice
was confined directly to the
shores of the continent.
"Icebergs are carried into
the ocean only in a few
regions where extraordinary
iceberg rivers flow to the
north. Virtually none were
encountered in other places
along the route.

THE PASSING SCENE
Democrats Plan Soft-SeII in South
BY WILLIAM S. WHIT

Amid a series of gloomy
private advices coming up
from the South to party
leaders, a decision has been
made to keep the Democratic
presidential campaign in
Dixie strictly thing apart.
The effort there will be
deliberately and wholly diff
ferent, in tone and in human
terms. from what will be at
tempted all over the rest of
the. country.
Elsewhere, Senators Ken
nedy and johnson will run a
tough, aggressive race, ask
ing no slightest quarter from
the Nixon-Lodge Republican
ticket and offering none. But
inside the South the keynote
will be expressed in these
terms: Take it easy .
Don't crowd anybody .
Sell it soft"
Outside the South, Senator
Kennedy is bypassing or at
least supplementing the old
line regular Democratic or
ganizations in many States
and cities. Inside the South,
the campaign will be geared
100 per cent into the tradi-
tional organizations of the
established Southern leaders
Governors. Senators, legis-
lators. sheriffs and so on.
Nothing will be done on be-
half of the Democratic cam
paign in any Southern State
until it has been cleared" by
that States Democratic chief
tains. No new Kennedy
johnson Committees" for
example. from outside these
hierarchical ranks will either
be set up or allowed to func-
ton.
Smathers Is Architect
This strategic approach is
largely the work of Senator
George Smathers of Florida,
who has been chosen by Ken
nedy and Johnson as field
marshal for the Southern
and border States as well,
Smathers' objective, speak
ing realistically, is not the
impossible one Of holding
every single one of those
States. 1t is, rather, to keep
Republican inroads to the ir-
reducible minimum.
Because he could not do so
he does not seriously attempt
to hide the fact that the
Democrats are deeply fright
ened about the South. Con-
f1dential estimates from that
area vary in detail and en-
phasis. They all. however, in

the latter party's Leadership in the
Senate backed by both President
Eisenhower and Vice-President
Nixon have joined hands with
northern and border state Demo-
cratic senators In a real effort to
enact meaningful civil rights legis-
lation to insure the rights Of Ne
groes to the ballot in southern
states.
Key figures In the Senate battle
are Senator Lyndon ]. Johnson,
of Texas, leader Of the Democrats
majority in that body and Senator
Everett DirISsen of Illinois, Repub-
lican minority leader.
Johnson's role is an important
one and marks his break with the
past, when for years he opposed
civil rights legislation as discrim-
inatory against the south. Today
his critics say because he seeks
the Democratic nomination for the
Presidency he has changed sides.
Johnson's friends on the other
hand say he has despaired Of the
south, especially the deep south
portions like Mississippi giving the
vote to Negro and feels that the
minimum measure must include
guarantee that Negro citizens who
want to vote may do so.
johnson expressed this view on
the second day of the round the
clock sessions before TV cameras
which carried his views to the
nation.
Valores ]. Washington, minority
group director for the Republican
National Committee in a state
ment from Washington said John
son Is not sincere, and seeks to
fool Negroes into believing he
really seeks civil rights legisla-
ton.

Committee on Government Con-
tracts, expressed his conviction
that racial barriers in training
and employment can and viii be
removed. -.-.
In presenting to Mr.. Nixon a
60-page report on racial discrim-
ination in apprenticeship training,
Mr.. wilkins stressed five recon-
mendations ito counteract the var
ious restrictive and undesirable
policies, practices and patterns de-
scribed in the report" and fostered
by employers, trade unions and
governmental agencies.
The study, entitled THE Negro
Wage Farmer and Apprenticeship
Training Programs" was prepared
by Mr.. Hill who conducted a ma
tionwide survey. 1t reveals wide
spread discrimination against Ne
gro workers who are only 1.69 per
cent Of all persons now enrolled in
apprenticeship training programs.
The meeting followed by a day
a session Of the Presidents Com
mittee at which a new program to
break the color bar against Negro
mechanics on government con-
struction projects was announced.
Attending the committee meeting,
presided over by Mr.. Nixon, were
Secretary Of Labor James p. Nit
cheIl; George Meany, president of
the AFL-CIO; Walter Reuther,
president Of the United Auto
Workers; and others.
The NAACP representatives ex-
pressed appreciation for the action
taken by the committee and as
sured the Vice President that the
Association would cooperate fully
with employers, unions and the
committee in efforts to eliminate
racial discrimination on govern
ment construction jobs.
Mr.. Nixon thanked Mr.. wilkins
and Mr.. Hill for their offer Of
cooperation and for their study of
discrimination in apprenticeship
training. Noting that discrimina-
ton is bad in itself, the Vice Pres
ident declared that the defense
needs of the country make it es-
sential that there be the fullest
utilization of the nations manpow-

A. NAACP Meeting

The Minneapolis NAACP met
with a capacity crowd at St

Feb. 20. The packed church under
croft represented what many Ma

largest crowd ever to attend a
general membership meeting In
recent years.
Not only was the attendance
large but so also was the audi
ence participation, and indication,
according to some observers, that
the Negroes self-examination ia
not as remote from his self-de-
termination as some members Of
our society are inclined to believe,
The executive board Of the Mil
City branch told this newspaper
man Sundays meeting should not
be construed as being a departure
from the regular policy Of the
NAACP.
Quite the contrary, the board
stated: While its true that we as
an organization are not primarily
concerned with the moral and cul-
tural evaluation Of any group Of
people, we do recognize these fac
tors as essential to our overall pat
tern of self-determination and self
respect"
Many of those in attendance
said the controversial nature OF
the meeting discussion, cultural
lag as a factor in Indignation, "
was the chief cause Of the large
turnout.
Others indicated the youth
groups protest march in front of
Minneapolis Woolworth the pre-
eeding day may have spanked
some to show a greater interest in
the affairs of the branch.
OF the protest march, the exec
utive board Of the branch voted

Urges Citizens Not
To Vote For RoSen

In an action unprecedented In

Negro and white citizens are urg-

phone campaign against Rosen.
Rosen formerly favorite in the
Negro community first came under
fire several years ago when he
voted against a public housing pro-

it was clear that opponents to the
project were using the race issue
to kill 1t off.
