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.
There's no feeling like the feeling of a full wallet when the
holidays roll around.
Here, you'll find a warm welcome and a sincere desire to
help you through this budget-bending time of year. Come

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.

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."

CAFETERIA INTEGRATED - Genial Harvey Rape dishes

integrate. "I walked in the woods and I prayed about it,"
Rape said. "I cried until the whole front of my shirt was
white sides have for the mom
ent adopted a wait-and-see atti
tude. 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.

William J. Eaton reported from

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

George Wallace, one of the late
President's bitterest critics over
civil rights. "I hope we can
