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

U. S. Bombers,

'.WashingtonU.R) Gen. Cur
tis E. LeMay says U.S. bombers
are the best in the world and are

;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."

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

world from global war for 10
years.

' 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.

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.

a childless wife.
