Do you feel awkward and
handicapped because you are
left-handed?
Most people have one or
more areas in which they feel
inept. But these seeming
handicaps can be overcome
when q person is willing to
expand the effort.
Recently. / received a letter
from Mrs. G. s. of Santa
Ana, Calf, which clearly de-
scribes the problem and solu-
ton. She wrote:
Bright students are some
times unconsciously handi-
capped by the ease with
which their knowledge accu-
mulates. They may literally
never have had TO try to de-
velop a particular skill.
"A bright son. now a Ma

he did not already know each

However, he attempted the

proved TO be the case. Soon
he was second in his class.
He could not beat the best
boy in examinations, but he
could make as many extra

He took minutes salvaged
from a heavy sports program

in this course.
The satisfaction gained
from this success was a
greater incentive than all the

AII-Negro Party
Planned for 1864

NEW YORK, Aug. "a (AP).-
A group of Negroes plan to call
for formation Of an all-Negro
political party TO enter the
national elections In 1864.
The group has set up a ma
tional committee for a Freedom
Now Party.
Conrad j. Lynn, a Manhat-
tan attorney and acting chair
man Of the committee, said a
brochure would be issued
Wednesday in conjunction with
the civil rights march on
Washington.
He said the brochure calls
for IAN all-black slate and a
platform of liberation" Pri-
mary aim Of the new party is
to elect Negroes TO both houses
Of Congress and to State and
local offices.
A consolidated Negro vote,
Mr.. Lynn said. "is the Negro's
political strength. It Is time

dictional lines between road
and yard crews and operation

If the parties failed to settle

sizes, the board would take over

Final DeadIine March 1
All issues would be resolved
by March at the latest.
Negotiated agreements would
Supersede arbitration rulings at
any time. The board could
make its rulings effective for
no more than two years, but the
unions and railroads could
agree to extend them.
In deciding the issues. the
arbitration board would be in
structed to consider tentative
and partial agreements reached
during negotiations. The un-
ions favor this provision because
the railroads have made tenta-
tive suggestions that would
soften the impact of the work
rules proposed in 1859.
Senator Morse, Democrat of
Oregon, protested the commit
tee-approved bill as a straight
proposal for compulsory arbi-
traticn" and said that when it
is taken up in the Senate he
will offer Mr.. Kennedy's pro-
posal as a substitute.
Other amendments proposed
on the Senate floor are ex-
pected to concentrate on pro-
cedures for disposing of the
subsidiary issues. There is con-
siderable opposition to binding
arbitration of issues other than
the ones involving firemen and
crew sizes.
The Administrators bill re-
lying on the ICC to settle the
dispute avoided using the word
arbitration" and Mr.. Writ
maintained that arbitration was
not involved. The committee
bill, by contrast, calls the pro-
cedures arbitration.
The administration, organ
lied labor and many business
men outside the railroad in
dustry oppose on principle leg
islation compelling labor and
management TO submit to bind
ing arbitration. They fear
compulsory arbitration would
weaken collective bargaining
and lead to Government con-
trols on wages and prices.

Fall of Rhee
Recalled by
Saigon Crisis
BY the Associated Press

Similarities are increasing
between South Wet Mans
crisis and the political strife
that unseated Syngman Rhee
as the dictatorial president oi
South Korea, another Asian
ally of the United States.
Students we're in the fore
front Of six weeks of riotous
demonstrations that preceded
Mr.. Rhee's resignation April
81, 1860. Set off by charges OF
election fraud, street fighting
had led to 145 deaths.
Now Wet Namese students
are promoting protests of their
own in a campaign that Bud
dhist monks initiated last May
against the administration of
President Ngo Dinh Diem
Leaflets distributed by one stu
dent group called Mr.. Diem's
regime brutal and dishonest
and and demanded his resigna-
ton.
International pressures that
contributed to Mr.. Rhee's
downfall included a charge by
Christian A. Herter, then
United States secretary OF
state, that Mr.. Rhee's govern
ment was using "repreSsive
measures unsuited to a free
democracy"
1t was in a similar vein that

testimony. probably at closed
sessions.
Yesterday another under
ground nuclear blast-the third
since agreement was reached
with the Soviet Union and
Britain on the treaty-was set
off at the Atomic Energy Com
missions test site in Nevada.
The explosion was described as
low yield, meaning it had a
force equivalent to less than

Although Senators from the

Want to Avoid Amendments

not want to vote against a
bill or treaty, they still will
support amendments which
limit or restrict it, he noted.
Senator Fulbright and other
treaty supporters want to
avoid any formal reservations
or amendments to the treaty.

Alexandria's long-pending ur-
ban renewal projects emerged
last night as the major issue
of interest in candidates cam
paigns for the City Council.
And each of the three candi-
dates who discussed the issue
offered divergent opinions or
how it should be handled. One
speaker suggested putting the
issue to a referendum.

appearance before the Tuesday
special election, Nicholas A

A. Melvin Miller faced almost

For Private Enterprise
Mr.. Colasanto, a former city
manager, said private develop

ment - should execute urbar
renewal projects.
"I favor private enterprise
doing everything it car
possibly do" he said. Fedora
aid should be sought only aftel

Mr.. Faith said the proposed
Gadsby urban renewal projec'
should be completed ant
studied before future programs
are undertaken. The future o.
urban renewal, as well as port
development and other pro-
grams, should be put to {
general vote, he said.
Lets put it on the refer
endum and decide the
issue" he said. He added that
he feels there isn't very strong
public support for any OF these
programs.
Mr., Miller said execution oi
the renewal program Is 1.-THE
mostN pressing issue that will
face the city council in the next
10 months" The program "is a
problem that has been floun-

The city, he said, should be-

One evening last spring al
a meeting of the board of dea-
cons Of the Baptist Church in
Linden, Ala, someone asked a
hypothetical question: What
would happen if a Negro sought
membership?
The Rev. Joe Patterson, then
pastor, promptly replied that
to bar q person because of color
would reduce the Church
which was founded by Christ tc
be a universal and redemptive
fellowship, to nothing more
than a social club"
His viewpoint brought sharp
ly conflicting reaction from the
congregation. Rather than
"tear up the church." the Rev
Mr.. Patterson resigned, effec-
tive June 20.
Such cases have become in
creasingly frequent. More thar

their pulpits under fire since

Attacks, Phone Calls
There have been physical at
tacks, harrassing telephone
calls, tire-slashings. Usually
however, the objections are reg
istered by chilly attitudes and
thinning church attendance.
Largest Christian bodies in
the South are the Methodist
Church and the Southern Bap-
tist Convention.
The Rev. DR.. Albert McLel-
Ian of Nashville, a Southern
Baptist executive, says he

pulpits recently over the race
question.
But he said "there could be
many more" and that he knew
of several others who resigned
voluntarily because they fell
they couldn't preach forth
