Over Reins of

I WASHINGTON W The Demo
crats switched their party chair
manship from a Truman man to a
Stevenson man Wednesday and the
&2r

Sy said wouia mau a xovrm-
per victory inevitable,
- Stephen A, Mitchell, 49, a Chi
eaeo lawyer handpicked by Gov,
Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois, re
placed President Truman's nation
al chariman, Frank E. McKin
ney.
One of the first things on the
docket wider the new manage
ment. Mitchell told a news con
ference, is a series of regional
meetings at which party leaders
and candidates can get acquainted
with Stevenson and himself.
"I haven't met many of these
leaders,- Mitchell said, "and they
don't know what kind of a fish
am." .
Plans for the meeting, which
probably wflT start on the West
Coast early in September and be
keyed in, with Stevenson s cam
paign itinerary, were gone over
Wednesday with the eight-member
Democratic Executive Committee
This committee also ratified, for
all practical purposes, the change
in command of the National Com
mittee. But the Democratic Na
tional Committee itself still must
go through the legal routine of ap
proving the Mitchell appointment.
A meeting for that purpose has
"tf&n called for Aug. 29 in Wash
ington, but most of the 106 com
mittee members art expected to
vote by proxy.

Nene for IS Tears
Stalin, they believe, undoubtedly
found many lower-echelon lead-
ers who wondered why a party
Congress had not been held for 13
years, and decided to hold one as
a result.
Under Communist Party regu
lations, such Congress meetings
are suppuaea w oe neiaevrry
three years. Stalin has ignored this I
rule the last two sessions were
held in 1939 and 1934.
American diplomats who tried
to analyze Moscow's motives em
phasized they have no reason to
believe there Is anything resemb
ling serious grumbling or discon
tent among the Communist high
command.
They expressed the view that
Stalin summoned the Congress to
meet partly out of a desire to mod

ery.

Negro Teacher
Fired Before
Starting Job
BREMERTON, Wash. (Pi -The
Kitsap County School Board has
fired a Negro school teacher be
fore he put in a day's work with
one member explaining: -
"There s our school bond issue
election to think of."
The dismissed 'eacher. Ester
Wilf ong, 22, of La Grande, Ore-
was not present at the meeting
which reversed a week old deci
sion to hire him. He was to teach
the 6th grade In the Central Kit
sap Junior High School at Silver
dale near this Navy Yard city.
He says he still intends to teach
there, too, and will show up at the
appointed time because "I have
a valid contract and I Intend to
hold the school board to it."
The board wrangled several
hours Tuesday night before voting
unanimously to rescind the con
tract despite the protests of the
county school superintendent, Carl
r. Jenne.
Closed Session
.The closed board session fol
lowed a meeting with 37 persons
who had been invited by telephone
to attend. Mrs. Inez Solle, a jun
ior high school teacher, spoke in
behalf of Wilf ong. She said only
seven of the 37 present spoke
against the hiring.
"When the meeting adjourned,'
she said, "I thought the board had
decided to retain Mr. Wilfong, but
I learned today they made their
decision after everyone else was
gone."
Ole Svenson, a board member,
said a majority of those attend
ing the meeting seemed to favor
the dismissal. .
Need Harmony
"We want to have as much har
mony as possible because we have
a bond issue coming up." he said.
Superintendent Jenne said he
recommended "that the board stick
to its original decision to hire the
man on the basis of his creden
tials and qualifications. The fact
that he is colored should not enter
the picture."
. Wilfong said at La Grande that
he "didn't know there was any
opposition. I thought when I re
ceived my contract and signed it
and mailed it hack that everything
was all right."
Frank C. Whi taker, president o:
the school board, said that since
Wilfong doesn t now have the con
tract in his possession he can
consider himself, hired."
The contract was 'mailed in by
Wilfong with- his signature, as is
the practice when teachers are
hired.
