Nixon Predicts
Fast Progress in
Racial Equality
- Washington (U.PJ Vice
President Richard M. Nixon Sat
urday predicted "increasingly
fast" progress against racial dis
crimination in employment.
In a speech prepared for the
12th annual dinner of the Capi
tal Press club, comprised large
ly of Negro newspapermen, he
said no achievement of the Eis
enhower administration "will re
ceive more universal approval
than the progress which has been
made toward realizing the Am
erican ideal of equality of op
portunity for all citizens, re
gardless of race, creed or color."
He said the president "has
thrown the full weight of his
influence and power behind a
program which was designed
from the beginning to get the
job done- rather than to make
political capital."
Praises Negro Leaders
Nixon also praised responsible
Negro leaders. He said their mod
eration "has mobilized public
opinion for their cause without
letting up equally violent oppo
sition against it."
He said that "while the fight
to remove discrimination in em
ployment has been a long uphill
climb, we are over the top and
our progress in the days ahead
will be increasingly fast."
"If we continue to support a
program of moderation, patience
and hard work and resist the
demagogue whose primary inter
est is in using the cause of pre
judice rather than removing it,
our efforts will be crowned with
complete success."
Nixon added that "it is to the
eternal credit of American Ne
groes and their leaders that they
did not prejudice their case by
rushing into the arms of the
Communists who talked so loud
ly for their cause, but only want
ed to use them."
Hall expects it to be the big
gest and most - streamlined con
vention in history.
Because of the special prob
lems of holding a convention on
the west coast, in a city they've
never used before, the Republi
cans are planning their arrange
ments 15 months in Advance. ,
A part of the streamlining,
and to overcome the time dif
ference between the east' and
west coasts, Hall would like to
have a single session each day.
running from 2 p.m. to 7 or 8-
p.m. Pacific Time. That would
put the show on the air during
the best audience hours 5 p.m.
to 10 or 11 p.m. in the popu
lace Eastern Time zone.
He also hopes to cram the
entire convention speeches,
demonstrations, adoption of plat
form and selection of candidates
into four days.
Just to be on the safe side,
however, the contracts for the
convention hall and the hotel
rooms will contain an option for
a fifth day.
Plant Hinge on Ike
A lot of the plans hinge on
whether President Eisenhower
will be a candidate for reelec
tion. If he should refuse to run,
the Republicans could become
embroiled in a battle that would
last the full five days and may
be longer.
Hall expects to know the an
swer to that most important
question long before the conven
tion opens. Mr. Eisenhower has
indicated he might have some
thing to say early-next year, per
haps by the time selection of con
vention delegates gets under
way.
Arriving at San Francisco the
night of June 4, Hall and his
party will spend the next two
days looking over the conven
tion hall and the hotel situation.

'Fair Sized' Quake
Noted in California
Pasadena, Calif. (U.R) A
"fair sized" southern California
earthquake that was not located
was recorded at 11:44 p.m. (PST)
Saturday by seismographs at the
California Institute of Technol
ogy. C a 1 1 e c h Seismologist Dr.
Charles Richter said the jolt reg
istered 4.5 on his magnitude
scale. He said 11 was centered
about 80 miles from here and
could cause small local damage.
However, a check of all areas
throughout southern California
failed to turn up a report of the
quake.
Richter said it was "possible"
the tremor might have occurred
at sea but that it was more like
ly it was centered in a desert
area.
In San Diego, amateur Seismo
logist Fred Robinson said the
needle on his seismograph made
a "jittery" motion about the
same time, but he also could not
locate where the quake had
struck.
West Berlin Cops
Use Clubs, Hoses
To Combat Rioters
Berlin (U.R) Police out
numbered 10 to one used clubs
and fire hoses yesterday to re
pel an "invasion" of West Ber
lin by 3,000 Communists trying
to break up a war veteran's re
union. Four policemen and 10 rioters
were injured in the clash, which
authorities here said was the
"largest and most savage" Com
munist drive into the city's
western sectors in recent years.
Twenty-six Reds were arrested.
Householders living along the
street where the riot occurred
aided police by pouring buckets
of water on the rioters' heads.
Bricks thrown by the rioters
injured one United Press Movie
tone television photographer and
damaged another's camera. Gerd
Jawarski was hospitalized for
treatment of head injuries, and
Kurt Grigar's camera was brok
en by the mob.
The target of the mob was a
British - sector cafe, near the
Soviet sector, where veterans of
Germany's 3rd Armory Division
were holding their fifth postwar
reunion. Some 300 specially
trained riot police stopped the
mob short of their goal.
A riot truck mounting four
hoses hurled tons of water at the
rioters.
The Communists fought back
with stones and clubs, shouting
denunciations of West German
rearmament as they battled the
police.

every nut they earn . . . Some people are
thrifty, too . . . they save as systematically

they need money for something they need

problem that must be attacked
now. It's a non-partisan nrob
