Negro Marchers
Sform Confab
io.ooo Negroes, carrying signs
and singing '-The Battle Hymn of
the Republic," demanded a strong
civil rights plank of the Republi
can convention Monday.
The marchers wove through
South Side streets and halted out-1
side the International Amphitheat
er where Sen. Kenneth B. Keat
ing of New York spoke with lead
ers of the demonstration.
Keating told the marchers he
had been appointed by the GOP
National Committee as its spokes
man. Keating's voting record es
tablished him as a strong civil
rights supporter.
A. Philip Randolph, president of
the Sleeping Car Porters Broth
erhood, asked if the Platform
Committee had settled on a plank.
"I can't tell you that," Keating
replied. "I don't know. I'm not
happy with the present civil rights
plank but I think my selection to
meet with you is significant."
"Do you think this is an indi
cation that a strong civil rights
plank will be adopted?" Roy Wil
li ins, executive secretary of the
National Assn. for the Advance
ment of Colored People, asked.
"I don't know, but it would in
dicate to me that the Republican
National Committee, at least, fa
vors adoption of a strong civil
rights plank."

Fire On Rioters
BULAWAYO, Southern Ithode
sia (AP) Police fired on African
rioters in a Negro section of Bui
awayo today, killing at least one
Negro as rioting against white
rule continued for the third day.
Thousands of workers m the
cily's native labor force failed to
show up for work. Police said Ne
gro mobs were swarming around
the city's railroad marshalling
yards. Two other groups were
blocked by authorities as they
tried to invade the white sector.
At least three Negroes already
had been killed and more than
70 injured in outbreaks Sunday
and Monday. Rioting continued
unchecked Monday night in the
Negro sections. More than 2,000
troops sealed off the African town
ships. -
Many of Bulawayo's 45,000
whites locked themselves in their
homes, fearful that the govern
ment does not have enough troops
to stop a full-scale uprising.
Southern Rhodesia forms part

Federation, which lies between the
volatile Congo and the white su
premacist Union of South Africa.

Faubus' Bid Rests
In Voters' Hands
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP)
Gov. Orval E. Faubus' bid to be
come Arkansas' first four-term
governor today rested with the
voters in the Democratic primary.
Faubus, central figure in Little
Rock's 1957 integration controver
sy, confidently predicted a record
400,000 voters would nominate
him over four avowed segrega
tionist opponents.
The other candidates forecast
360.000 to 375,000 votes and pre
dicted Faubus would be forced
into an Aug. 9 runoff. No incum
bent governor has ever sunrlved
a second primary.
In 1958, a record 383.000 voters
gave Faubus a third term by a
2'A to 1 maiorily.
Opposing Faubus are Atty, Gen.
Bruce Bennett, a leader in the anti-integration
movement; Joe C.
Hardin, a planter-businessman;
H. E. Williams, Baptist preacher
and small college president; and
Hal Mulsap Jr., a grocer and oilman.
Key issues have been the state's
industrialization efforts, decreas
ing population, ' the fourth term
education and Faubus' actions oa
integration and states' rights.

Rights Floor Test
Fine With Pelley
CHICAGO (AP) Willingness
for the civil rights issue to go
to a floor test at the Republican
National Convention was ex
pressed Monday by Rep. Tom
Pelly, Washington state's favorite
son choice for vice president.
Pelly said he hoped the plat
form plank would follow the lines
favored by Vice President Nixon.
He added:
"If necessary, I favor a floor
finht to obtain a strong plank.
The 24 Washington delegates
were slated to meet Nixon at his
hotel Monday.
Nixon, however, postponed all
delegation meetings to huddle
with party leaders, and some of
the Washington delegates, busy
from morning to night, failed to
get the word. They appeared on
schedule, and then mingled with
other delegations which also had
not been notified.
Delegate George C. Kinnear
gave a tip-off on the delegation's
build-up tor Pelly.
"Pelly isn't a personal glory
seeker," Kinnear said. "But any
prominence we can give him here
will build him up for statewide
political stature.
Kinnear did not say if that
meant Pelly might in the future
be boomed for a higher office,
how to live and entertain like

Why be an autocrat at the automat when you can be
a plutocrat for a pittance? Yes, you can actually enter
tain like a millionaire without actually being one ! Even
if your name is John D., Vincent A., Andrew C., or
Cornelius V., you'll find it impossible to entertain more
lavishly tan with a bottle of Samovar Diamond-Clear
Vodka. This is because Samovar, like money itself,
complements any situation. Samovar is even better
than money. Money can't make you happy-it can only
make you comfortable while you're being- unhappy.
While Samovar, on the other hand makes an occasion
both comfortable and happy. All you need is Samovar
Vodka, some ice and some mix-orange juice, tomato
juice, or vermouth to name a few-to entertain, and
live, like a millionaire! Free recipe book tells you how.

prica pr fifth
day he was captured bv police
Prosecutor Edward J. Dolaa said
today. I
Dolan said there was no ques
tion that Michael Fekecs, 25, a '
Hungarian relugee. attempted
suicide. The prosecutor based his
statement on ballistics tests made
on a piece of bullet that had en
tered Fekecs' head.
Fekecs was captured in Union,
N J., on July 12 alter a gun battle
with police. It was believed police
had wounded him. He is in critical
condition in a hospital under
guard.
He is charged wilh the murder
of patrolmen John Lebed, 30, and
George W. Dunham, 31, who had
picked him up for a traffic of
fense. The prosecutor says he is re
sponsible fur the deaths of four
other persons in the home of Dr.
Francis Clarke, prominent sur-
Igeon, in North Brunswick, Jan.

Found dead in the Clarke home
were Edith Clarke. 57. the sur

Judd meant Vice President Rich
ard M. Nixon, But his keynote
speech Monday ni.slit was on open
ing day of llie Republican National
Convention, and Nixon is not slat
ed to he nominated until Wednes
day night.
Classic Pattern
The Minnesota congressman's
6,000-word address followed the
classic pattern of keynote ora
tions, though it was longer than
most. He sang praises for the Re
publican record under President
Eisenhower, predicted even better
llungs ahead under Nixon, and
chariied the Democrats were un
qualified to meet the challenge.
The delegates, in a relaxed and
receptive mood, greeted his sallies
with roars of approval.
Reckless Action
Reckless Action
"What kind of reckless and ir
responsible action is it." Judd ask
ed, "for anyone to misrepresent
the United States as a second class
power, as was done in the Demo
cratic convention, and thereby en

all Americans profoundly hope and
pray ran be prevented?"
