Wilson Sees Need for
Genuine Two-Party
System in This Nation
i.ji c. rniui
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
Washington W What this
country needs more than a good
fiven'cent cegar is a respectable
two - party po
litical system.
A respecta
ble two - party
p o 1 i t ical sys
tem would be
one in which
the leaders and
the rank-and-file
of each
party were
deeply com
mitted to a general program for
the public welfare and in which
the two general programs sub
tantially differed.
The Republican party does
not meet that standard today.
Els, it would not havt been
jecessary, recently, for Presi
dent Eisenhower to remind con
gressional Republicans that in
opposing some of his basic legis
lative program they also were
tpeosing the party platform on
)yhich most of them last year
ought office.
Bmocraii Fall Short Too
The Democratic party doesn't
meet it, either. To demonstrate
that to yourself, just try to de
fine a Democrat In terms which
would cover, for example, such
notable leaders of that party as
Adlai E. Stevenson, Mrs. Elea
nor Roosevelt, Sen. Harry F.
Byrd (Va.) and Sen. Wayne
Morse (Ore.). It can't be done.
Enactment of civil rights leg
islation on which the Senate be
gins a filibustering debate Mon
day would mangle the southern
way of life. It also would move
the United States closer to a real
two-party system, respectable or
not.
This would be accomplished
by the extension and enforce
ment of the right to vote among
those elements of southern so
ciety which do not now, or one
reason or another, exercise the
right
The Bureau of the Census cal
culated for the 1952 presidential
election the percentage of per
sons of voting age who actually
voted. Southern states lagged.
It is reasonable to believe that
Negroes comprise the bulk of
southern non-voters. It is likely
that enacement of civil rights
legislation would bring them to
the polls.
At that point, southerners
would be likely to take a hard
look at their one-party system
in which a Democratic nomina
tion for state or federal office
is about the same as election to
it. Negro voters in the South
might, of course, join with the
Republican party.
Could Also Become Democrats
More likely, they would be
attracted by the more radical
politics of northern Democrats
and tend, therefore, to move
Powder Puff Derby
To Start Saturday
San Carlos, Calif. UP)
Some 50 planes are scheduled to
take off from San Mateo Coun
ty Airport Saturday in the 11th
annual Powder Puff Derby.
This year's all-women trans
continental race will cover
2.567 miles, ending at the North
Philadelphia Airport.
This year's route will take
the contestants through Reno,
Elko. Salt Lake City, Rock
Springs and Cheyenne, Wyo.;
North Platte and Ohama, Neb.;
Moline, 111., Fort Wayne, Ind.;
Akron, Ohio; and Harrisburg,
Pa.
into the Democratic party in the
south. That would bench the old
line Democratic conservatives in
several southern states and
wreck the congressional coali
tion of conservative Republicans
and southern Democrats
Conservative southern voters
would be looking then for an
other place to mark their bal
lots and they probably would
wind up in the Republican party
or in a party of their own allied
with the Republicans. That
would be a considerable move
toward a respectable two-party
system in which, ultimately,
Americans must distribute them
selves for a showdown contest
for control of the destiny of the
United States.
Man Shoots Self,
Wounds Estranged
Wife at Coos Bay
Coos Bay W Roy Lee Jen
kins, 37, shot and killed himself
after wounding his estranged
wife, LaVerne, here Wednesday
night at the climax of a family
argument.
The shootings, which were
listed by the coroner as attempt
ed murder and suicide, took
place in the apartment of Mrs.
Jenkins' mother, Mrs. 'Gillis
Dawkins, where Mrs. Jenkins,
26, had been living for the past
three weeks with her three chil
dren by a previous marriage.
Mrs. Dawkins told police Jen
kins had been abusive to the
children, and for this reason her
daughter had left the man.
Argument Ensues
Jenkins called at the apart
ment and asked to see his wife.
She came to the door, and an ar
gument ensued outside. Then
Mrs. Jenkins came running back
into the room and Jenkins shot
her twice in the shoulder with a
.25 calibre automatic.
He entered the room, told
Mrs. Dawkins, and her son and
daughter, "Now we are going to
have some fun," and shot him
self through the head. He died
three hours later at a Coos Bay
hospital.
Mrs. Jenkins was listed in
good condition at the hospital.
School Aid Bill
Causes House Split
Washington Wi House
Democratic and Republican
leaders split sharply today over
wnetner to call the controversial
school aid bill up for a vote.
Chances for passage of the
measure seemed slimmer than
ever and both parties maneuver
ed to try to tag the other with
the blame if it is killed.
GOP leaders are determined
to avoid a showdown vote on
the bill, despite the fact it is a
key plank in President Eisen
hower's legislative program.
Their reason is that a private
poll of GOP members shows thei
poll of GOP members shows
their party overwhelmingly op
posed to the federal aid to edu
cation provision. According to
one report, only 50 of the 200
Republican House members said
they would go along with it

Minister Faces
Controversial
Pulpit Decision
New York (W The Rev.
William Howard Melish. contro
versial left-wing Protestant
Episcopal minister, faces a deci
sion today of whether to attempt
next Sunday to occupy the pul
pit of Brooklyn's Holy Trinity
church from which he has been
barred by the State Court of
Appeals.
If the Rev. Mr. Melish decides
to defy the court's Wednesday
ruling the service may turn into
a noisy competition between
himself and the Rev. Dr. Her
man S. Sidener whom the
Brooklyn appellate division has
upheld as legally elected rector.
The Rev. Dr. Sidener, who was
elected 16 months ago, says he
intends to conduct his first serv
ice this Sunday "if there is no
legal impediment."
Forced io Retreat
Once before, on Jan. 13, 1956,
the Rev. Mr. Melish refused to
budge when a supply minister
appointed by the bishop of Long
Island conducted a simultaneous
communion service and attempt
ed to preach a sermon. Melish
drowned out the newcomer and
forced him to retreat in mid
service. The 47-year-old Rev. Mr. Mel
ish said the court's ruling "will
create an unprecedented situa
tion," but that he will not an
nounce his intentions until he
and his attorneys have consid
ered "every possibility." One of
those possibilities is his arrest if
he defies the court order. Anoth
er is trial before an ecclesias
tical court on charges of bring
ing the church into dispute.
The 11-man vestry of . the
church is unanimously pro-Mel-ish,
and the Rev.. Mr. Melish
also has the backing of about
200 members of the 275-member
congregation.
Aerobee-Hi Rocket
Crashes Soon After
Canadian Launching
Fort Churchill, Man. IW
An Aerobee-Hi rocket, the sec
ond to be fired at this northern
Canadian test site in two days,
crashed early today less than a
minute after it was launched.
Officers of the U.S. task force
conducting the firing started an
immediate investigation to deter
mine the cause of the failure.
The rocket, like Thursday's,
was aimed at the ionosphere. It

ect for the International Geo
phyhical Year.
Took Ten Minutes
The first rocket fired Thurs
day soared 160 miles into the air
at a speed of 4,200 miles per
hour. The 21-foot rocket took
about 10 minutes to make the
round trip.
A total of 76 of the Aerobee
Hi projectiles will be fired from
this top-ranking proving ground
during the 18 months of world
wide IGY tests.
Thursday's rocket fell short
of the 193-mile altitude record
set by an Aerobee at the White
Sands Proving Grounds in New
Mexico, April 20.
The rocket tests are being
made at the Fort Churchill
Canadian army testing base, 600
miles northeast of Winnipeg,
Man.
Contains Recording Devices
The cone in the rockets' nose
contains 145 pounds of sensitive
electronic recording devices in
stalled by the Naval Research
Laboratories i n Washington,

Scientists were particularly
interested in Thursday's launch
ing in regard to the density of
the electric charge in the iono

in upper space that will be the
object of intensive investigations
during the IGY.
