Integration Order Concentrated Dispute
In Democratic Party on One Fiery Issue
By LYLE C. 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.

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.

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."

hospital and ordering of prelim
inary working plans for the in

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.
