This goal would represent an

The'NAACP laid plans at
Dallas to use federal courts to
stop Texas’ newest drive against
school segregation suits.
Police hurried to the Iamar
campus and two other Negro
students attending classes were
escorted off campus. They were
advised to go home and they
did.
Some 100 white adults reached
the campus about 7 p.m. and set
up a picket line. They carried
placards with slogans such as
“Rebels With a Cause” and
“Keep pur Education System
White.” f .
Students swelled the crowd to
about 500.
Some 30 police patrolled the
campus but made no effort to
disperse the pickets. The crowd
began to dwindle at about 8:30
p.m.
Mrs. H. T. Mercer of Vidor,
a small town just east of Beau-
mont. said she organized the
demonstration. She said she or-
ganized the council about a

She said she had a son, 17,

dug deep through the heart of
Texas for this state’s 24 elec-
toral votes yesterday and head-
ed early today for New Mexico,
smacking the GOP's farm poli-
cies.
He underlined what hejcalled
Republican failures’ to help
drought - crippled farmers, and
said President Eisenhower’s
pledge of 100 per cent parity
was "the biggest broken promt
ise ever made by a candidate
for president.”
Speaking half a dozen times
in hamlets, small cities and big
cities along a 100-mile campaign
trail through Central Texas, the
Democratic candidate for vice
president underlined what he
called the GOP’s “broken prom-
ises.”
Eisenhower and Secretary of
Agriculture Benson don’t know
a disaster when they see one,
Kefauver said.
“They don’t want to hear
about the bad times in Texas
because they are too busy try-
ing to win an election with sun-
shine and smiles,” the candidate
said. -
“They do not want to hear
about sun-baked pastures and
rivers and streams bone dry.
Big business profits, are way up,
almost everybody is making
money, or so they say. So why
worry about the small ranchers
and farmers on the Great
Plains'?’.’

Texas drive at Dallas and wound
it up at the Heart O’ Texas’ fair.

called it unthinkable that they
should be neutral toward Soviet
Communism.
At a news conference, Dulles
strongly endorsed efforts of
West German Chancellor Kon-.
rad Adenauer and others to cori-
vert the Western European Un-
ion into a stronger unifying
force.
He said both President Eisen-
hower and he favor this and do
not consider it to be a slap at
the United States.
Under questioning as to
whether Europe should become
a “third force” as between Rus-
sia and the United States, Dulles
said he thought it appropriate
that Europe should develop into
a third great power and he be-
lieved it is within the capacity
of the European nations.
Unless they so develop, he
added, their future looks very
dubious indeed. He said it was
unthinkable that Christian coun-
tries should be neutral toward
materialistic and atheistic So-
viet commurfism.
Dulles made these major
points on other matters:
1. Talks between Yugoslav
President Tito and Soviet lead-
ers presumably involve very ser-
ious questions or relations be-
tween Russia and Red satellite
countries. Dulles said he be-
lieves Tito favors independence
of the satellites from Soviet
domination—which means Dul-
les thinks Tito is seeking an
objective favored by the United
States.
2. There are differences be
tween the United States and
Britain-France over what Dulles
called fundamental issues in the
Suez canal crisis. In sum, he as-
serted that the United States
