2 Suspects
Held in Theft
Of$l2iOOO

The affluent habits Of an
unemployed man have led to
the arrest Of two men in the
theft Of $12,469 from the County
Fair Bakery, GAL s street NV,
on August 8, police reported
today.
The theft was an inside job,
involving the firms cashier and

night.
Police then arrested Kelvin
Edward Lyons, 10, Of the 1900
block Of Barnaby road Sc,
the cashier at the bakery.
On the week end of the crime,
according to Sergt. Sears, Lyons
took the weeks receipts and,
instead OF putting them in the
safe, gave them to Petersen
who hid the money.
On Sunday, while the bakery
was closed, Sergt. Sears said,
Petersen climbed In a second
floor window and scattered
papers in the safe, which was
unlocked, to make it appear
that the bakery had been
broken into.
None of the money has been
recovered.
Petersen and Lyons were
charged with HOUSEKEEPING.
They appeared before United

Judge Backs
Segregation in
Hospital Suit

GREENSBORO, N. c., Dec.
6 (AP) Federal Judge Edwin
NJ. Stanley has ruled that two
private Greensboro hospitals
are not Observation-Disclosures of
the Government" because they
accepted Federal funds for con-
struction and need not in
tegrate.
A suit, filed by nine Negro
doctors and dentists and the
Department Of Justice, sought
to void the so-called separate
but-equal provision Of the Hill
Burton Act, under which Fed
eral funds are used for hospital
construction.
Judge Stanley, chief Judge of
United States middle district
court here. made his ruling
yesterday in what he called
findings Of fact" and CON
illusions Of law" He said a
formal judgment will be filed
later.
The Judge said the plaintiffs
sought an order "desegregating
all private facilities receiving
Halliburton funds over a pc
riod Of years. even though the
funds were given with the I'M
derstanding that the private
facilities might retain their
freedom to conduct their pri-
vate affairs in their own way"
He added, This court is not
prepared to grant the declara-
tory relief prayed for. thereby
retroactively altering estab-
lished rights, particularly when
1t is unnecessary to do so In de-
Gliding the iurisdictional ques-
ton"
The judge stated that since
the hospitals are privately con-
trolled and operated, they are
not subjected to amendments
to the Constitution which for
bid the denial of equal rights
because of race, creed or color.
The suit was first filed by
the Negroes. who asked for use
of the hospitals facilities on
the same basis as white doc
tors, dentists and patients. The
Department Of Justice entered
the case later.

The overall budget for the

Democratic longshots against Sena-
tor Dirksen Of Illinois and Senator

office. This even applies to the most
prominent 1864 G. o. P. hopeful,
Gov. Rockefeller of New York, but so
far the Democrats have failed to
mount an effective campaign against
his second-term bid.
On the other hand, Republicans
have found strong candidates for the
gubernatorial contests In Pennsyl-
vania, Michigan and California.
G. o. P, Representative Scranton is
reported leading in Pennsylvania;
Mr.. Romney has shaken off the
underdog role in Michigan; while
Mr.. Nixon's California struggle could
still swing either way.
In addition to these Big -Four gov
ernorships, Republicans have bright
hopes for showing the Democrats out
of State Houses in Ohio and Ne
braska. They also see opportunities
in Oklahoma, Alaska, Maryland.
Texas, Connecticut, Wisconsin and
Wyoming.
By contrast, the only States where
Democratic takeovers seem possible
are Hawaii, Minnesota and New
Mexico-and in none Of these is the
Democrat currently q favorite.
Evening star., 1962-09-04
What They See

Here, briefly, is how each party
sees its situation as the campaign be-
gins:
The Democrats say: Every study
made shows we're the party the
majority Of Americans prefer. Our
President is highly popular. The reli-
g1ous issue that clipped his vote in
the South and West has pretty much
disappeared. There is no major dis
content with his record. We have
some shaky Governors, sure, but most
OF our congressional incumbents are
secure. And. remember, the country
is Democratic.
I'VE need, first. to get our regis
tratton up. We know that in the
cities there are literally hundreds of
thousands who would vote Democra-
tic II they voted at all. It's hard to
get them registered and unfortu-
nately some Of our candidates don't
seem to realize the Importance of it.
But we have good operations going
In Chicago, in Philadelphia and
other places. 1t viii pay off.
Second, without getting involved
In all the petty details Of this bill or
that. we have to make it plain that
it's the Democrats In Congress who
are helping President Kennedy. We
have got to hang that obstruction
ist' tag on the Republicans. With
Charlie Halleck's help, we can do it.
Third, we have to get the Presi-
dent out to stir up the people about
this election. He's the only one who
can do 1t and he will.
"This registration thing Is the
sleeper - especially with the Negroes
who have moved North. They are
really for us or 9 to 1. Now, some
politicians win tell you they're tough
to get registered and tough to get
out. Some Of our organization peo-
pie don't know how to get them and
some OF them, frankly, are a little
reluctant to. But there's tremen-
dous potential there.
"n we do these things, we can
win"
The Republicans say: I'VE hit bot
tom in 1858 and have been moving I'D
steadily ever since. Remember, de-
spite Nixon's hairline loss. we made
gains at every level and in every Sec
tion Of the country in 1859, 1860 and
1861. Even in races we didn't win,
like the New Jersey governorship, our
percentage was up. Now, on top of
this. every poll shows the popularity
of Kennedy and the Democrats has
been sliding since last March. It's
darn hard to reverse this trend in 9
weeks.
What we need to do first is shore
up our organizations in the big cities
to be sure the Democrats don't win
the eiection-or steal it-there again.

The big change is in New York,
where the Republican Rocky

Republicans. Should the Democrats
fail to field moderately strong State
ticket, the carnage could be even
worse.
MIDWEST
In Illinois, redistricting takes one
Democratic seat from Chicago, adds
a safe Republican suburban district
and throws incumbents of opposite
parties into q nip-and-tuck struggle
for survival in merged downstate
district. There are one or two shaky
old districts for each party. as well.
Four Of Indiana's seats could
switch, two on each side. In Iowa,
Democrats lost one seat through
redistricting and their sole survivor
faces a hard race. A rough Repub-
hcan primary in one Kansas district
gives Democrats shot, but Repub-
hcan Bob Dole repeatedly has an
edge on Democrat j. Floyd Breeding
in their tight battle in a merged
district.
Michigan's new at-large seat leans
Republican, with slight chance of
other changes. In Minnesota, DEM
ocrats mount major threats to three
Republicans, including Representa-
tive Walter Judd, who lost many
Of his Republican voters in the re-
districting.
Missouri Democrats, who lost one
seat through reapportionment, could
drop another to the Republicans.
Reapportionment took a seat from
the Republicans in Nebraska and
Democrats claim chance for q one
or two-Seat upset in North Dakota.
Ohio's new at-large seat seems
certain to go to Republican Robert
A. Taft. jr. One incumbent in each
party is threatened by returning
ex- Congressman. In Wisconsin,
there's a Democratic seat in
jeopardy.
WEST
California is the Gold Mine for
the Democrats and their hopes for
national victory depend on scoring
heavily here.
The State has eight additional
seats and with the gerrymandering
by the Democratic legislature, odds
are good at least seven of the new
Representatives will be Democratic.
AT their best. Republicans could di-
vide the eight-seat gain with the
Democrats. Best the Democrats could
do would give them an additional
10 or II.
Elsewhere, the results in Arizona's
new Sd district are in doubt, as
are the two at-large seats in Hawaii.
where the primary Is still a month
away. Alaska's lone Representative,
Democrat Ralph Rivers, faces q stiff
challenge from Republican Lowell
Thomas, jr., son Of the commentator.
Democrats are cycling the posi-
bility Of single-seat gains in Colo
rado, Oregon and Washington. The
six seats in Idaho, Montana and
Utah-now 5-1 Democratic-are all
in doubt. With two Of the Democrats
moving up to Senate contests,
chances for Republican gains look
bright.

They currently are favored to take
the seats of retiring Republican SEN

though the latter State may not
prove to be the "easy win" for ex-
Welfare Secretary Abraham A. Ribi-

Also, Senator Morton, Republican
