citizens and many organizations
contributed almost twenty tons of
food and clothing. To date financial
donations amounting to $1,335.91
have been received.
A cross country van donated by
Admiral Transport Company and
a tractor and driver whose services
are donated by the Transfers Joint
Council will leave this week for
Louisiana with the supplies.
AS a result of the attention
focused on this problem by the
local drive, many individuals and
organizations have sent letters and
kilograms to the Secretary of
Health, Education and Welfare pro-
testing the Louisiana action of
denying to some $4,000 needy chill
dren the barest necessities of food,
clothing and shelter.
Hearings on the Louisiana situa-
ton are currently being held in
Washington, D. c. before Commits
sioner Mitchell of the Social Sec
urity Administration, Department
of Health Education and Welfare.
The National Urban League, and
the Child Welfare League OF Amer
lea are among the organizations
which have submitted amicus cur
lac briefs at these hearings.
The briefs make the observation
that there is no necessary or logi-
cal connection between the suita-
bility of the home and a child's
need for food, clothing and shell
ter.

Washington, D. c. - Massive
public opinion which generated
quietly from coast to coast, re-
suited in President-elect Ken
nedy dropping Sen. j. William
Fullbright of Arkansas, his
main choice for Secretary of
State and naming Dean Rusk,
president of the Rockefeller
foundation instead.
Negroes, joined white liberals,
members of the Jewish and even
conservative business interests con-
cerned with African-Asian trade
and markets joined in urging Ken
nedy not to appoint Fullbright.
Fullbright's chief liability as a
prospective Secretary of State was
the fact that he established HIM
self as a racial segregationist by
signing the Southern Manifesto
aimed at trying to nullify the Su-
preme court school desegregation
issue and his filing Of a brief with
the court seeking reversal Of the
Little Rock, Ark, school integra-
ton.
Chief public opposition to Full
bright's proposed appointment in
the Upper Midwest came from
Cecil Newman, editor Of the Min
neapolis Spokesman and st. Paul
Recorder newspapers, whose at
tack on Fillbright received nation
al attention.
In commenting on Kennedy's APP
pointment of Rusk instead Of Full
bright, Newman said this >week

Aqueduct.
Winner of three 100000
