White Voters
Flunk Negro
Aimed Tests
M1NDEN, La. Wl A carefully
planned Louisiana law, designed to
restrict Negro voting, is backfiring
on pro-white forces in this segre
gation stronghold.
The statute requires that all
prospective voters be able to read
any clause of the U.S. Constitu
tion and "give a reasonable inter
pretation thereof."
Mrs.i Winnice P. Clement, Web-'
sler Parish (county) registrar of
voters, said Thursday since she

failed to make the grade on technicalities.

Airmen Leave
Plane by Rope
PORTLAND Ml The hnso wWl
of a mammoth Air Force Globe-
master plane collapsed on landing
here Wednesday night, and- 28 of
about 70 men aboard suffered hand
burns from sliding down an escape
rope.
The airmen, returning from
training in the South, were ordered
from the plane because of the nos-
sibility of fire. Some of-them slid
down the rope too fast and suf
fered painful burns. One airman
suffered a bone fracture in a heel
in his rapid fall.
The plane, its tail in the air as
high as a two-story building, was
towed to the maintenance line
where mechanics said repairs
would require about 10 hours of
work.
While the plane was on the run
way, the Portland airport' was
closed for two hours to all but
smaller planes able to use avail
able short runways.

WASHINGTON u&-.fe assgtion
by Sen. Sparkman (D-Alal that
President Eisenhower intjffias to
pshriak'- the chief executive's of
fice if roalecteW brought R pub
lican replies tojay0that Eisenhow
er is merely shrugging off the
frills'. u
"Any such contraction of the
presidency as is contemplated in
the Eisenhower proposal," A'park-
man said last night, cannot but
upset the balances set up in our
Constitution for the preservation
of popular government.
Ctairman Paul M. Butler of the
Democratic National Committee
advanced similar arguments in a
speech at Louisville, Ky., in which
he said Eisenhower's health is a
major campaign issue.
Eisenhower said yesterday that
if he should ever feel physically
unable to carry on the essential
duties of the White House, "I
won't be there." He did not make
clear whether he meant that in
such circumstances he would re
sign or reverse his week-old de
cision to seek a second term.
Sparkman, Democratic vice
presidential nominee in 1952, said
in an MBS tSk that Eisenhc
ii promising to handdviir to asso
ciate functions whj$h lia.at thg
vfty core of the rresidene."
ThojDeMOcrats chose Sparkman
to reply io Eisenhower's nation
wide radio television talk of a
week Earlier in which the Resi
dent explain)! hiosecond-tcrm de
cisis. Sparkrt&l? said that in discuss
ing the medfcally imposed limits
on his activities'' in any second
term. Eisenhower . was "quile
frankly and openly saying to (tie
country that he can ncter He a
truly full-time president . . ."
"If a full measute of health is
ever needed anywhere," Spark
man continued, "it is needed in
the White House.
. "I dq not hesitate to say that
the American people cannot and
will not sanction the Republican
proposal for a part-time president
to deal with full-tinfe problems."
Sparkman declared that an "ab
sence of full-time presidential
command" is reflected in almost
daily newspaper accounts indicat
ing what he termed "indecision,
confusion and drift" at home and
abroad. ,
Rebefs3
!And now.,vhe said, "the neo-
ple re being asked fidsanctjen
the Indefinite extcaYion of this
lapse in our constitution, system,
in circumstances which make the
hazards larger rather than srnaV
told a jartydiniier at Louisville,'
that the "dominant issue" cut thiso
yir s Campaign may well be the
constitutional question of the ar
bitral diffusion of tic powers of
th presidency ando thco resulting
avoidance of lack of executive rSa!
spqnsibility in office." 0
Terming Eisenhower's health a
major campaign o issue, Butler'
said:
"We cannot ignmw it or pretend
to ignore it, without closing our
eyes to all the fateful possibilities
for (tie nation, that hinge on this
question." " ,
Eisenhower told his news con
ference he won't be able to play
host as he has in the past but he
added "there is going to be no
neglect of the duties of the presi
dency of the United States . . ."
Sen. Allott (R-Colo) called this
a clear indication that "the Presi
dent is going to be president, not
