Republicans Enter Civil Rights Field; Open Bid for Negro Vote Washington (U.R) The Re publicans have stepped into the Democratic breech over civil rights and bid for the Negro vote. Vice President Richard M. Nixon told a Lincoln Day din ner last night in New York the Eisenhower administration' has "registered the greatest ad vance" in Negro rights since the Emancipation Proclamation. : He said on the other hand the Democrats are a "hybrid party ... helpless and futile" in the field of civil rights. - Nixon's open invitation to Ne groes to vote Republican in No vember followed several weeks of jostling among the Democratic presidential candidates over the Negro rights issue. ; Adlai E. Stevenson, In Oregon where he is stumping for the Democratic presidential nomina tion, said he was surprised he was criticized by some Negroes for his civil rights stand. Kefauver in South "I have never suggested that our Negro citizens should not yclaim their rights or should claim them gradually," he said. However, he said claiming of rights "does not necessarily se cure them . . . That is our prob lem." : Stevenson was headed for Se attle after barely escaping injury U. S. Bombers, Grews Said Best '.WashingtonU.R) Gen. Cur tis E. LeMay says U.S. bombers are the best in the world and are flown by the world's best crews. ;The head of the Strategic Air command said that his bombers could fly to any spot on earth, destroy "the corner of a build ing" and have a 50-to-l chance of getting home. The general in addressing the Cooperative Food Distributors yesterday wryly observed that "I am in the distribution busi ness myself." LeMay said . the existence of the Strategic Air Command gives good reason to hope that there will be no global war be cause "there is no profit in ag ression if it brings on self-destruction." i The fact that Russia is build ing a powerful strategic ; air atomic force "in no way de tracts" from the deterrent pow er of the American air arm as long as the Communists are con vinced, that an attack would mean disaster to them, he said. LeMay said that the Strategic Air1? Command has kept the world from global war for 10 years.

Hall was "splitting hairs" by contending On The Side (Distributed by Kina ' Women devote much attention to the color and expression in a man's eyes. ' An excellent idea. If the average man scrutinized the eyes of women more care fully, he would find it advan tageous. Some females with sweet, innocent eyes are very hard and calculating. Other women, who on first glance seem cold and aloof, have quite a little love light in their eyes. You can't tell what a woman is thinking by what she is saying but you can get an idea of her train of thought by closely watching her eyes. Literary Note Do you know a young woman who is ambitious to write suc cessful romantic novels? Has she decided on a formula to follow? Ruby M. Ayres, who wrote 150 financially successful novels, utilized the following formula. First she decided on a title. Then she originated the characters to figure in the tale. Then she wrote the story. She wrote for women readers. Her novels always had a happy ending. Her heroines were sweet and . innocent. " Her heroes were slightly brutal. In clined to be' alternately tough and tender.

Nixon never called former Presi dent Truman and the Democrats traitorous during the 1954 cam paign. Butler said Nixon implied the Democrats were traitors when he charged them with covering up a Communist conspiracy for political reasons. "If this is not calling Mr. Tru man a traitor, what is?" Butler demanded. HaU offered to give S1000 to charity if anyone could show as Mr. Truman charged that Nixon had said Mr. Truman and the Democratic party were guilty of treason, By E. V.

That's an average of seven-eighths of an ounce per drink . . . All men of science are agreed the father determines the sex of a child. So, if after having two sons, a woman hopes to have a daughter but gives. birth to a third son, papa is to blame. .-.
