Nasser Scoring Personal Success On Visit to India New Delhi, Indla-fllPD-PresI- dent Gamal Abdel Nasser of the United Arab Republic has scored a personal success on his good-will visit to India, observers agreed today. Although Nasser has failed to outdraw either President Eisenhower or Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev, two other recent visitors, he has been able to reach a bigger cross section of the Indian people. And there is no doubt that Nasser is more in tune with Indian sentiment than either of his two predecessors. Elsenhower spoke In gener alities, mostly of peace. Khrushchev used the hard-sell political line, boasting of com munist progress. Hits Imperialists Nasser has used generali ties too, but when he con demns "imperialists" or calls for Afro-Asian solidarity, he ia hitting the Indians where they live. One welcoming sign in Ma dras hailed Nassed as "the savior of Suez." More than anything else, his "victory" in the Suez crisis has raised Nas ser's stature among the peo ple of this former British dominated country. Indians feel close to Nasser too because of his support for the Algerian rebels in the fight for Independence from France and his criticism of the white supremacy government of South Africa. Pleased Crowds This being a goodwill mis sion, Nasser has steered clear of most controversial issues, a fact his Indian hosts appre ciate. He has been a crowd-pleaser from the time he stepped off his plane on his arrival In New Delhi on March 29. Along with his handsome, broad- shouldered look, he has captl vated Indians with his ready smile and handwave Nasser has always been ready to give his autograph and to exchange pleasantries with Indians. He has stopped often to shake hands with workers, farmers and others And the Indians like it. Wall Street Chatter New York-HTD-Bache & Co. has added itself to the long line of those realizing that the nation, since World War II, has created an Industrial machine with a capacity well in excess of the demands now being made upon it. Bache points to such basic Industries as steel, aluminum, copper, paper, and farm prod- ucs to name only a few as prime examples of this major criticism of our economy. Curiously, It adds, the exist ence of this capacity, "exces sive to foreseeable needs." has not laid low the ghost of Inflation. The great danger, Bache maintains, is that we shall continue our past poli cies causing the economy "to operate In framework of leg islative Inflationary bras." Wlnslow, Chou & Stetson holds to an investment policy of non-cyclical stocks with good yields and moderate price-earnings ratios. It con tinues to favor slocks like Came, Electric Autulltc, In Icrnallnnal Harvester, Krue liattf Trailer. Garrett and North American Aviation. Reynolds & Co. point to Transamerlca Corp, which Is now concentrating Its activi ties primarily In the Insurance Industry. In view of the strong underlying growth trend of its business, it says, the stock appears to qualify as an attractive, long term growth situation. Check Shows Plan To Be Less Than Fully Effective By United Press International Negro leaders called for a Southwide Holy Week boy cott today of stores that re fuse to serve Negroes at lunch counters and a boycott of M white-owned stores in Jafck son, Miss. The call for a complete boy cott in Jackson, capital of rock-firm segregationist Mis sissippi, appeared from an early check to be less than fully effective. Reporters ob served Negroes entering many stores and store owners said the normal number of Negro customers showed up this morning. "The first two persons to walk Into my store this morn ing were colored," the mana ger of a white-owned clothing store said. "In fact, they both bought suits." However, NAACP leader Medgar Evers said the boy cott was a success. He said he predicted a 70 per cent de cline and said today that that was the result. The Southwide move brought threats from some white store owners to fire Negro employees. And the Jackson State Times said edi torially Sunday the boycott might touch off a secondary boycott by whites of stores that do not fire Negroes. This brought a reply from Evers that such action "could reverberate In Negroes boy cotting stores that fire Ne groes." Jackson Main Target Although boycotts were planned for Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia, the most con entrated effort was aimed at Jackson, a city of 150,000 pop ulation. Negro leaders predlced that 70 per cent of Jackson's 61, 000 Negroes would participate In the boycott. However Per cy Greene, a conservative Negro editor, said the move would have little following. The White Citizens councils called the use of economics in the racial crisis a "two-way street" and said many Negro employees will lose their jobs In the event of a boycott. Laws Prohibit Sitdowns But Evers said Negroes have "Just been told to save their money, not stay away from their Jobs." he said "we're doing this Instead of going downtown and subject. Ing ourselves" to laws recent ly passed by the Mississippi legislature against possible sitdown protests. The laws carry a six-month sentence for violation of statutes prohibit ing the obstruction of public passageways or entering the premises which is forbidden by signs. Mississippi is the only Southern state which has had no sitdown protests against segregated lunch counters. 'Rocky' Deplores 'Stop Nixon' Drive New York -OJPD- Gov. Nel son A. Rockefeller today dis associated himself from and deplored a "stop Nixon" movement begun by four New York Republicans known to favor Rockefeller as the party's presidential nominee. A statement issued by Rockefeller's office said furth er that the New York gover nor "has In no way altered the position set forth In this statement of Dec. 28, 1939," the day on which he withdrew from the presidential sweep stakes. The "stop Nixon" campaign came to light In the form of a letter addressed to members of the GOP National Commit tee and other officials ex pressing "serious doubt" that Vice President Richard M. Nixon could be elected presi dent or be a good president If he were elected. The letter, signed by the four Republicans known to favor Rockefeller's candidacy, expressed doubts as to Nixon's "soundness of Jud g m e n t," questioned whether he is qualified to "exercise force ful and effective leadership for The Free World." and said there was considerable opinion that "he seizes oppor tunities rather than acts from convictions . , . and that, as Is frequently true in the case of corporation officers, he may well be qualified to be a vice president, but hardly a presi dent."

But by the close of the day, Pratt had not been brought into Magistrates court for ar raignment as expected. This suggested that author Hies regarded his arrest as being under terms of South Africa's emergency regula tions which suspended normal habeas corpus procedures. Condition Satisfactory Verwoerd, 58, lay in Preto ria hospital with two bullets still in his skull. Doctors said his condition was satisfactory, but medical experts feared he may have suffered some per manent damage to his speech, balance and hearing-although the Premier's secretary said such was not the case. Police continued their crackdown against Negroes agitating against the country's South African racial laws. Col. John Olivier and Lt. Col. J. C. Van Der Merve of the Rand Criminal Investiga te n department conferred with the state prosecutors on the charges to be preferred against Pratt. Secrecy Observed However, total official se crecy was being observed and it was impossible to get de tails. Detectives were seen visit ing the fair grounds where two shots were fired at Ver woerd shortly after he made a speech Saturday during the union's 50th anniversary cele brations.

Undergoes Medical Exam Pratt, 52, an English-speaking white man and Cambridge graduate, underwent an ex haustive medical examination at the Marshall Square police station in Johannesburg by the senior district surgeon, Dr. Jack Friedman. Disclosure of his name by police, even though it had been published in newspa pers, was a surprise departure from the normal custom of not releasing the identity of an arrested person until he appears in court. Police arranged heavy secu rity precautions to protect Pratt against possible vio lence by Afrikaan speaking whites who regard Verwoerd as the champion of suprem acy in South Africa. Police said his quick arrest last Saturday prevented Pratt from being lynched by the crowd surrounding him.
