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.

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." FUND RAISER DIES

Police Officials
Consider Charges
In Africa Shooting
Johannesburg, South Africa
(UPU-Police officials conferred
today on possible charges to
be made against wealthy
farmer David Pratt, 58, in
connection with his attempt
to kill Prime Minister Hen
drik Verwoerd last Saturday.
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. In Cape Town seat of the

considered likely he would

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.
