S. Senator Richard Nixon’s civil rights voting record in Con gress is “worse than that of some of the Southern congressmen”. Congressman William L. Daw son of the First Hlinols District lashed out at Republican vice presidential nominee Nixon and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, the OOP’s presidential nominee in words hardly less bitter than Dawson praised the human those of President Harry S. Tru- ' man, Dawson praised the Demo cratic Party and predicted Ne groes would stay in tlic Demo cratic folds in November. Mr. Dawson delivered his ti rade against the Republicans at North Carolina College’s Duke Auditorium here at noon Mon day. The speech was part of the NCC non-partisan fonun com mittee’s Fall series. I Republicans can answer the I Dawson speech on October 20 when U. S. Rep. O. K. Arm strong of Missouri speaks be fore the general public in Duke Auditorium at noon His topic will be “What the Republicans Stand For.” In a blistering all-out attack against the Republicans, Con gressman Dawson made this gen eral indictment against GOP’s Presidents Harding, Coolodge, and Hoover: “They killed the League of Nations, removed re straints and controls from our economy, left America militarily weak, paved the way for unpre cedented unemployment, and laid the foundations for World War II.” Dawson said the Republican propagandists are trying to “cry Sparkman in an effort to divert Negroes’ attention from the weaknesses of Gen. Eisenhower, the Republican presidential nom inee.” The Illinois congressman said Sparkman, as a representative of Alabama, voted on civil rights and other issues in a manner respecting the desires of the people in his district. The speak er distinguished between Spark man’s philosophy of human rights and tiis political voting. “Where civil rights involving all the people are concerned, Mr. Sparkman has voted on the side of lil>erality,’‘ Dawson said. According to Congressman Dawson, Sen. Nixon, the Cali fornian, does not have much of a racial problem in hi state, and yet, Dawson said, Nixon has “been worse and more bitter in the Congress of the United States on civil rights issues than gome Southern congressmen.” The Illinois solon said. Sen. Sparkman is “made of the same kind of stuff as Associate Su preme Court Justice Hugo Black.” Justice Black, an Ala bama native, has become one of the most liberal justices in U. S. liistory, Dawson said, and . he predicted Sen. Sparkman 'would prove to be of. the same pattern if elected vice-president. Dawson rapped Gen. Eisen hower’s “grandstanding with the Dixiecrats and applauding the Waving of Confederate fla^ and saying he lilces Rebel yells.’ (Plaaaa turn to Faaa Tan) Man In Jail Sent To Road For Having Wine High Point—The local Munici pal Court refused to recognize the “clink’’ as the legal residence of Otis Quick, local Negro, and therefore the jail lost its trusty Monday. Quick told the court that he thought it was legally alright for a man to keep a small amount of wine in his house. This was his explanation for the part of a bottle of wine found in his cell by officers. Since the jail was his home while he served sentence, h^ contended that he had not biwKeri af law." The judge, J. A. Myatt, how ever disagreed with the trusty’s way of thinking and therefore sentenced him to spend the re maining five months of his pre vious month sentence on the roads.

C.—Defeat of a proposal to abolish the public school system in the State of South Carolina is urged by John. Duffy, a columnist for the Gamecock, University of South Carolina student publication. The move to abandon the school system was initiated by Gov. James F. Byrnes as a result of the NAACP suit in the Claren don County case to end segre gation in the elementary and secondary schools. This “fantastic” Byrnes pro posal, Mr. Duffy says in his col umn of September 20, can be explained only as racial preju dice. “Rather than mix races in the schools the state would abol ish the schools,” he asserts. “It does not matter how the people stand on the race issue. That is only incidental. The question is simply' whether we ' siiall allow ourselves to be so inflamed by the race issue tliat we shall work inxparable harm upon ourselves by aboli.shin^ the school sys tem."
