WILSON United Press Correspondent r Washington (U.R) The spot light was on the New Hampshire presidential primaries yesterday. Vf.MUl!x- r.,t fh- Kio nn. uucai siory is way down South in Dixie. In Dixie there are rumblings of another bolt a big one. Three or more southern states have bolted the Lyie c wiison Democratic ticket in three of the post seven presidential elections. The solid South re3ily isn't solid any more. Prohibition with a taint of anti-Catholicism caused the bolt of 1928 when Republican Herb ert Hoover defeated Democrat Alfred Emanuel Smith. Mr. Hoo ver carried Florida, North Caro lina, Tennessee, Texas and Vir ginia. President Truman was elected HBMljU& it in 1948 over Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York, despite loss of Louisiana, Mississippi, Ala bama and South Carolina to a State's Rights third party. States Rights candidate Strom Thur mond, South Carolina, also pick ed up a single electoral vote in Tennessee. Race relations was the principal bolt issue in 1948. Issues Narrow Again State's rights on a much broader basis was the principal issue which gave Florida, Ten nessee, Texas and Virginia to Dwight D. Eisenhower in his 1952 defeat of Adlai E. Steve son. The issue dividing Demo crats has narrowed again this year to the angry question o white and Negro children attend ing the same schools. Southern hatred of prohibi tion and fear of Catholicism dis tilled bitterness in 1923. Race relations and less painful issues aroused 1943 tempers. The 1952 election was all sweetness and light compared to these. The 1956 campaign is building rapidly toward Democratic bit terness surpassing anything in the memory of most, perhaps all, voters. There was a hint of what may come in the Democratic Na tional Convention four years ago. Northern Democrats then all but ejected from the convention the delegations of Louisiana, South Carolina and Virginia. Single Fiery Issue The Supreme Court's order for integration of the races in public schools has concentrated the dispute within the Demo cratic party on a single fiery is sue which seems already to be too hot to handle. Some ' Democratic conserva tives have predicted a break in the so-called solid South this year unless the party's presi dential candidate and platform plump for go-slow moderation in merging the schools. That sug gests that Adlai E. Stevenson, Illinois, might hold the South together while Sen. Estes Kefau ver, Tennessee, or Gov. Averell Medford Airman Visits Old City of Chester in England (Editor's note: Tom Amacker. an airman third class in the Air Force and son of the H. I!. Amackers. 902 South Grape St.. is on a tour of duty in Europe, and is now sta tioned at Walesr He plans to write articles lor the Mail Tribune from time to time, 'tellinc about any people from this area he meets, and some descriptive material about his travels. His first article follows.) By A3C TOM AMACKER Chester, England RAF Sta tion Sealand, a quarter of a mile inside Wales, where I'm station ed as an air policeman, is only six miles from Chester, England. On a three day break I thought it would be interesting to visit the oldest city in England. The city sits on a rocky sand stone spur at the ,head of the River Dee. Looking at the wall which runs completely around the old. city, broken only by Jive gates, it is easy to imagine it as a Roman fortress, which it once was. After the Romans left, it was held by the Britons, the Saxons and the Danes. War and Strife The city's history is one of war and strife for many cen turies. It held out against "the Conqueror lonfer than any other place. When it finally fell it was given to Hugh Lupus, a great Norman lord, who became the first rl of Chester. From his day until the time of Heary III, the Earls of Chester held their own courts and parliaments here. The main streets take their names from the gates to which they run, north, south, east and west. The gates, Northgate, Bridgegate (on the south), East gate and Westgate (on the west) are the original entrances. The . w wall built by the Romans in the second century was extended and repaired in 907 by Ethel fleda, Lady of the Mercians, and it seems to be then that New gate, a fifth entrance through the wall, was added. From the Northgate wall there is a beauti ful view of the Welsh hills. Even in a city as filled with history as this one, the modern age makes itself felt. Take thea ters for example. After working at the Holly Theater in Medford for a year and a half, I always seem to be comparing theaters in other places. I walked around Chester looking at the different cinemas (what the British call a movie house) and come upon one that looked like a church. It was the medieval chapel of St. Nichalos built by the abbot and monks of St. Werburgh's for the parishioners. In an ever changing career it has been a place of amuse ment, a theater where Grimaldi, Garrick, Keen, John Kemble and Mrs. Siddons appeared, a music hall, and now a cinema, perhaps the only medieval chapel which has survived to meet "such a fate. How strange it is that here a chapel has been turned into a movie house, while in my own country more and more theaters are being used by church groups for meeting places. Proud of City Most of the residents are proud of their city, even the young people. But the kids in their late teens and the young married people go to Liverpool for a night out. "Everything Thornton Rules on Dissolution Election Salem (U.R) Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton has ruled that there was no limit to the number of elections for dis solution that could be held in Green sanitary district in Doug las county. In answering a request for an opinion from the Douglas coun ty district attorney, Thornton also said the petitioners for dis solution could not be required to make a deposit to defray the costs of the election even though there was no available tax mon ey to. pay for the election. Petitioners are seeking disso lution of the district for - the third time. NAMED TO FORT DIX Fort Dix, N.J. (U.R) Vet eran golfer Len Cerrario, club pro at the Wanamassa course near Asbury Park the past 11 years, has been named to the same" post at the Fort Dix Golf club. here closes about 10 or 10:30 so if we want much of an evening we have to go to Liverpool, one young man of 20 told me. Six thousand miles from home on a three year tour of duty in Great Britain, to keep from get ting homesick for the view of the Oregon- mountains, I shall have to keep busy. But, how else except in the service could I, not yet 19,- hope to see Great Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and other European coun tries? I shall try to describe them. Cheerio! BURK'S BIG REMODELING MM fill " ' Harriman, New York, might not. The spectacular depth and breadth of party division, how ever, only became evident with tne declaration of Constitution al Principles" Dublished here Monday over the signatures of 19 southern senators and 77 repre sentatives. Four more House members signed up later. There will be other signers all pledged to oppose the Supreme court s order by every lawful means. Right or wrong, these are se rious men, most of them power ful in Congress and among con servatives of their political faith. They moved, they said, in de fense of southern "habits, cus toms, traditions and way of life." Hollywood Musicians Oust Union President Hollywood (U.R) American Federation of Musicians Local 47 early Tuesday ousted President John Te Groen at a mass meeting which lasted until nearly dawn. The end of the entire adminis tration of national President James C. Petriljo was repeated ly demanded at the meeting of more than 1600 members of the local. Te Groen and the five members of a special investigat ing committee sent here by Pe trillo were not present. The meeting had been declared ille gal by the National Board of the AFM. The . vote to fire Te Groen came at 2:30 a.m. and sustained the action taken Feb. 27 by a "rebel" group which "suspend ed" Te Groen. Today's action was voted 1535 to 51. Revolt leader Cecil Read, vice president of the local, said he did not believe the charges pre sented were, "an indictment of Mr. Te Groen's character." But he added they were the result of "immoral and illegal pressure brought by the constitution of the AFM." One member, Bill Gross, call ed Petrillo a dictator.- Mental Hospital Plans Are Delayed Salem (U.R) Members of the State Board of Control said Tues day that both selection of a site for the new $14,500,000 mental hospital and ordering of prelim inary working plans for the in termediate penal institution near St. Paul were being held up pending a decision of the U.S. Air Force on location of its pro posed air base somewhere in the Willamette valley. However,, State Treasurer Sig Unander said the Air Force hopes to have a site selected by April 1, although complications could delay the decision until sometime in May. Board members said the flight plan of the air base must also be known before decisions can be reached on the present site for the intermediate institution and the several sites being consid ered for the large mental hospital.
