C., TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JULY 12, 1955 i GOP Making Headway Witlv Negro Voters WASHINGTON (IP) The mighty Republican effort to break the Negro vote away from allegiance to the mem ory of FDR is beginning to make some significant polit ical news.

Wit ness his appointment iast week of a Negro to the state court. Justice Harold A. Stevens be came the first member of his race to reach that high bench. Eisenhower topped that notable first this week by adding a Negro to his official White House family. Everett Frederick Morrow of New Jersey was sworn Monday as an administrative officer in the President’s executive office. That is the top drawer of White House service where no Negro has lodged before, not even in Roosevelt and Truman administrations, during both of which the equal rights is sue was kept going at forced draft.
