Eisenhower, answering questions
at his regular news conference
yesterday, said that he hopes his
administration's clean up in the
capital will eliminate the Com-munist-in-government
issue from
next year's political campaign. He
added that he does not believe
Americans can afford to live in
fear of each other forever.
FORT BRAGG (JP) An Air
Force board arrived here yesterday
to investigate the crash of a G-119
"Flying Boxcar" which slashed
through a mass drop of hundreds
of paratroopers earlier this week,
killing 15 men and injuring 11.
All but one of the plane's "stick"
of 40 paratroopers leaped to safety
Tuesday as the big craft whipped
in a tight turn to avoid parachutes

pilot, who heroically stayed with
his plane, threee crew members
and one paratrooper died as the

and infamous attack no a former
President of the U. S."
The main program of the com
bined meeting of WC and UNC
Young Democrats was a discussion
of the role of the YDC on college
campuses in the State and Nation.
By way of introduction, Al House,
State Secretary of the YDC, re
viewed some of the activities and
plans of the State YDC.
He said that the State YDC was
going to concentrate more on the
young voter, "and we mean young
in years, not just young in spirit."
House pointed out that many
young voters "were swayed by the
glamour and appeal of Eisenhower
last year, but have since become
disillusioned by the many inade
quacies of the present administra
tion and are now floundering in
their political faith.
"It is our task, by presenting the
issues with a proper persepctive as
to the history and future of the
Democratic Party to win these
young people over, not as voters
who will support the State Demo
cratic Party alone, but as bona fide
Democrats who will not waver in
time of need," he said.
He also stressed the necessity
of the YDC remaining completely
impartial in the Democratic prim
ary and then uniting behind the
candidate nominated for the gen
eral election.
