TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1963 B 5 The Revolution of 1963 - Part II MEDFOKD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Negro , Child Prodigy Exhibits Art Work WASHINGTON (UPI) - Be ing the father of a child prodi gy is no bed of roses as Dr. Suphi Baykam of Ankara, Tur key, and I can readily attest. According to a newspaper story I saw this week, an ex hibition of paintings and draw ings by Dr. Baykam's 6-year-old son Debri has been "producing gasps of admiration in European art circles." The exhibition attracted 100, 000 people its first three weeks. Viewers were said to "find it difficult to believe that a youngster is capable of such mature art." Young Bedri, the story con tinued, "knows nothing of the artistic stir" his works have created because his father does not want the boy treated as a child prodigy. I think I know just how Dr. Baykam feels. YMCA Secretary Returns From Area Conference Robert Jones, general secre tary of the Medford YMCA, re turned home Sunday from a two weeks Pacific Northwest confer ence of YMCAs in Longview, Wash. The conference represented five states including Alaska and 75 YMCAs. YMCA secretaries met to consider how to work with teen-age youth to solve their personal development problems. Dr. T. J. Barnowe, professor of human relations, University of Washington, Seattle, and Dr. U r w i n Downtree, director of management development, Boe ing Aircraft Corporation, Seattle, served as resource per sonnel. Gerald Houston, Port Angeles, Wash., was conference chairman. During the conference the group examined communication "blocks" between adults and youths. They also examined the attitudes and behavior of youth and identifying principles of modern group leadership. Papers Presented Various YMCA secretaries presented papers on successful experiences in solving this prob lem. They covered identifica tion of youth needs and atti tudes of the adult community regarding delinquent behavior. Principles discussed by the YMCA officials included funda mental needs and some of the influences of society upon them, youth in relationship to govern ment, improving the under standing between boys and girls, social development of adolescents and the need to pro vide spare time jobs for youth. Following this conference the YMCA secretaries discussed ad ministration problems. The Hi-Y and Tri Hi-Y officials will (fold a series of conferences in Medford soon with interested adults to improve group work with youth, Jones said.

D..r;j.ni XUCK WE5T Presents Problem It so happens that my own son, who recently celebrated his second birthday, also has an extraordinary aptitude for toe graphic arts. Believe me, it presents a problem. Thus far, we haven't exhibited any of his work outside the family, but it has certainly pro duced gasps from his mother and me. We find it difficult to believe that anyone so young is capa ble of creating such a big mess. Unlike Bedri, who works with water colors and pencils, my son uses a wide range of ma terials. Crayons, ballpoint pens, eyebrow pencils and lipstick are among his favorite media. And, again in contrast to Bed ri, who sketches on paper, my son specializes in murals. In the past six weeks, he has re decorated our living room, kitchen, hallway and middle bedroom. Difference in Style There also is a marked dif ference in style. Bedri is a rep resentational painter with a penchant for portraits and sketches of cowboys. My son creates neo-expressionistic ab stractions. Dr. Baykam was quoted as saying that Bedri sometimes "does not want to eat or sleep for two days and night, but continues painting all the time." This is the same sort of ded ication my son has exhibited. He has continued painting de spite the combined surveillance of his father, mother, grand father and two older sisters. "The phantom m u r a I i s t strikes again" is our watch word. A lot of art lovers have tried to purchase Bedri's work, but his father has thus far refused to part with any of it. I couldn't part with my son's paintings either. They won't come off the walls. Senate Group To Hear FRB Head WASHINGTON (UPI) -.The Senate Finance Committee was to take testimony from Chairman William McChesney Martin of the Federal Reserve Board today, presumably the last public witness on the $11 billion tax cut bill. Passed by the House, the bill would provide an across-the-board tax cut beginning Jan. 1. The cut would affect about 51 million taxpayers and 576,000 corporations. Senate Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen, 111., asked that Martin be called. He said it was not clear what the effect would be if expanding busi nesses and the government which must finance its deficits find themselves competing for money in the same credit mar ket. The 17-member finance com mittee will meet in closed ses sion after McChesney testifies to begin voting on more than 25 pending amendments to the bill. HOLIDAY CASH!

Aviilablt to Eliflble Borrowers at Group Rates EDITOR'S NOTE: President Kennedy's assassination came at the height of a fight to win passage of his civil rights bill. In the following dispatch, the second of five, Negro leaders and political strategists eval uate the political aspects of civil rights following his death. By AL KUETTNER United Press International "Everything's in a state of suspension," said Roy Wilkins, executive secretary of the Na tional Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People. "He was our guy," said an other Negro leader of the late President Kennedy, whose as sassination threw the nation's civil rights picture into inde cision. What were the political impli cations of civil rights under President Johnson? The ques tion was on the lips of thous and, and Johnson himself sought in the early grieving hours of his administration to provide something of an ans wer. The new President called to gether all the governors who could be located shortly after the President's funeral and pledged himself to take up his predecessor's fight to win con gressional passage of a civil rights bill. It seemed to have been doomed for this year. "Among President Kennedy's unfinished business is the enact ment of strong civil rights legis lation," said the nation's Negro leaders in a statement signed by the Council for United Civil Rights Leadership. Asserting that "to complete this mission would honor his memory," they pledged their support to help President John son achieve President Kennedy's "goal of equality' for all our citizens."

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., regarded by many Negroes as the nation's No. 1 civil rights leader, expressed confidence that Johnson will follow the path charted by the late Presi dent. It does not mean a setback," King said. Wilkens predicted no real change in the "steady pressure toward enactment of civil rights legislation." The Rev. Arthur M. Brazier, head of the Coordinating Coun cil of Community Organizations in Chicago, said the civil rights drive will continue unabated. "We are in hopes that Presi dent Johnson will carry the fight as vigorously as did Pres ident Kennedy," Brazier said. "If the civil rights bill is passed, this will go a long way toward abolishing second class citizenship. If it isn t, the drive by Negroes tor equal rignts will continue." Politics A Factor In Brazier's view, the Negro voters will be governed next year by "how vigorously Presi dent Johnson presses for Presi dent Kennedy's civil rignts Din and who will be the Republi can nominee. The Chicago Negro leader feels Sen. Barry Goldwater's chances for the GOP nomina tion were lessened by President Kennedy's death and the likeli hood that President Johnson will be the Democratic nomi nee next year. In San Francisco, U. S. Atty. Cecil Poole, a Negro, said: "I don't anticipate that the country will relinquish the prom ises of real progress that Pres ident Kennedy symbolized. The President's inspiration and mar tyrdom alone will serve as a model for progress. "After we recover from this heaw neriod of grief, we will go ahead. The lesson of the Kennedy administration will not be lost on Congress, congress will move on. We will move on. Some congressional strategists believe even that President Johnson's appearance on the scene may enhance passage of civil rights legislation because of his recognized mastery of congressional procedure. Johnson will find, however, that he has the same opposition from conservative congressmen and senators when civil rights comes up. Sen. Richard B.

(UPI) Just how the Democratic and Republican presidential nomi nees size up these issues and what they mean to do about them may be presented to a mammoth civil rights conven tion following the "big two." Idea for such a convention originated with A.

Eaton reported from Washington. One administration official put it another way: "It's hurting like hell." The late President Kennedy alienated many southerners with hi bold moves in favor of civil rights and his backing of court decision with the armed forces. He sent troops to campuses of the universities of Mississippi and Alabama to insure court ordered integration. But in death there seemed to be some healing of the old wounds. "Our sadness in Alabama transcends all political consid erations," said Alabama Gov. George Wallace, one of the late President's bitterest critics over civil rights. "I hope we can have unity in this country and in the world."
