|0n School Aid
Bill Amendment
By th. AuocUttft N.irro Fran
I WASHINC,TON—President Elsen-
lower made It clear this week
at be would make no declaration
advance to any new legislation.
I He was referring to a request
lade recently by eight Democratic
lingressmen. This group urged the
(resident to make a public declara-
lon that no federal funds be allo-
tted to any school system which Is
lot In compliance with the require-
ments of the Supreme court's de-
pgregatlon decree.
| This Is the simplest solution to the
Jrexlng moral nnd political prob-
|m proposed by the anll-segrega-
lon amendment to the school bill,"
lild the representatives.
I They all expressed an interest In
|ie passage of a school aid bill, but
ared that an anti-segregation
nendment attached would only
l-rve to kill the original measure.
I These Democrats declared that on
this, perhajm the most vital domes-
|c issue of our time, the responsl-
lllty to speak out Is the President's
lone."
]The President was reminded at
Is regular weekly news conference,
l'ednesday, that these representa-
Ivee had made the request and
lint Congressman Towell had pre-
loi.sly stated that he would with-
raw his anti-segregation amend-
ment If the executive branch of the
livernment would make such declar-
llon,
I It was then that Elsenhower told
■■porters that he would make no
Irlnratlon In advance of new legls-
II Inn.
I The signers of this request were
|eproscntatives Edith fireen (Ore.),
nomas Ludlow Ashley (Ohio),
hurles A. Boyle (111.), Don Hay-
lorth (Mich.), J. M. Quigley (Pa.),
lenry S. Reims (Wis.), Gcorgo M.
Ihodes (I*u.), und Frank Thomas
K J.).
|The majority of them previously
luted Hint if the President re-
Iscd to make a positive non-segre-
Vtlon declaration for the dlslrlku-
pin of federal funds to schools
liieh openly defy the Supreme
Inrt decision, they would have no

By ALICE A. DUNNIGAN
For the Associated Negro Press
WASHINGTON — "I us*
speeches only m an artisan
does his stones—to build some-
thing. I don't talk just to show
off."
This quotation from Congress-
man William L. Dawson, ap-
peared reeently in an article
printed in a New York dally
newspaper. The unsigned article
titled "Dawson Lauded for
Leadership—Illinois Represent-
ative, 70, Is Esteemed for Hole
in Helping Race Relations,"
was Inserted In the Congression-
al Record, Friday, by Senator
Mike Mansfield (D, Mont.).
In submitting the article to
the record, Senator Mansfield
lauded Dawson for his "un-
derstanding and tolerance."
"He has earned the respect
of all those who had the privi-
lege of serving with him," con-
tinued the Montana senator.
"BIU Dawson is the type of In-
dividual who always considers
issues on their merits, and acts
accordingly."
He praised Dawson for put-
ting his country first and fore-
most The Illinois congressman
has made few speeches on the
house floor, observed Mansfield,
"but everytlme he does speak,
he has something worthwhile to
say, and he has the undivided
attention of his colleagues while
he says It."
He further praised the Illi-
nois representative for the mag-
nificent record he has made as
chairman of the house commit-
tee on government operations.
He expressed his admiration
and respect for "Bill Dawson—
American." and his hope that
he would be In the congress
"representing his district, his
state, and his country for many
years to come."
The article pointed out that
"many people over the country
have the Idea that Representa-
tive Adam Clayton Powell, Jr„
must be the most Important and
influential Negro In congress
.... because of the flow of head-
lines he creates."
"The Manhattan Democrat is
not," tlie article staled. "The
contest is far from close."
The writer claimed that Daw-
son's successful career on Capi-
tol hill seemingly ought to be
more of an example nationally
than It Is in the matter of
promoting good rtce relations."
The article praised Ills work
as chairman of the house com-
mittee and of his political in-
fluence in Chicago, as well as
his respect and popularity as
> member of the house of rep-
resentatives.
"The Illinois representative Is
as strong hi his support of civil-
rights bills that come before the
house," the story goes, "as near-
ly all southern members of the
house are strong in opposing
them."
But, the writer stated, Daw-
son "understands his colleagues
front the South, and he keeps
whatever differences there are
In their views and interests on
a high, impersonal level."
The writer approved' Daw-
son's method of never question-
ing tlie motives of those persons
opposing civil rights bills or
issues. He also praLscd Dawson
for never angrily challenging
and demanding that congress
or the While House do this or
that, or else.
He stated tiiat Dawson is "loo
much of a gentleman to criticize
Ills two Negro colleagues —
Powe II and Representative
Charles C. Diggs, Democrat of
Michigan—for their heated re-
marks on the floor.
He claimed, however, that
Congressman Dawson's distaste
for the Intolerant negative ap-
proach in specrhmaking is clear.
When Dawson speaks, the
article continued, "his col-
leagues listen. ... He does not
often argue or plead his case as
a Negro. He sticks to the merits
and assumes that his conten-
tions will be considered on a
man-to-mnn or person-to-person
basis. He stands up for his
rights lint Is not belligerent
about it. He does not ridicule
or abuse those wl>o disagree
with him."
The article concluded with
the thought that Dawson's re-
spect and regard for his col-
leagues had resulted hi wide-
spread respect and regard by
his fellow workers from all sec-
tions of the country.
Officer Charged
Wi t h "Pressure"
In Lie Test
By the Associated Negro Free*
TOLEDO, Ohio—A Toledo detec-
tive captain has been accused of us-
ing pressure to get a 22-year-old mnu
to consent to take a truth serum test
In an Investigation of the stabbing
of a wblte student nurse.
The Incident has resulted In a de-
mand for tbe removal of Detective
Capt. llalpb D. Murpby from tbe
bomlclde squad.
Officials of Teamsters Joint coun-
cil No. 44 charged that Charles
Hutchen, who had not slept for near-
ly 24 hours, submitted to tbe test
under duress.
The veteran white detective had
been under pressure because he had
not been able to solve the stabbing
of the girl and the fatal stabbing of
a 28-year-old white housewife on
Christmas eve.
Safety Director George J. Gray
has the charges against Murphy
under investigation and lias sched-
uled a meeting this week for a deci-
sion.
Hutcben had been Jailed on a
charge of being a suspicious person
after he surrendered voluntarily to
police for questioning. Be submitted
to a lie detector test and apjiearcd
In a police lineup to be viewed by
witnesses to the stabbing.
Neither the results of tbe lie de-
tector test nor the witnesses linked
him to the crime. He was released
on the suspicious person charge.
The union president, Lawrence
Steinberg, said his organization In-
tervened at the request of Hutchen's
father, Willie, a former business
agent of the union.
8telnherg charged that be and a
lawyer, Harry Fink, were given a
"run-around" when they went to
Jail to see Hutcben. Hutchen, Mur-
pby later admitted, had been taken
to the office of a psychiatrist and
asked to sign a waiver for the test.
The test was administered In tbe
doctor's office.
When they finally were permit ted
to see Hutchen In Jail, Steinberg
said, he appeared to be under the
Influence of Intoxicants and did not
recognize either him or the lawyer.
Hutchen hnd known Stelnlierg since
he was 10, the nnlon official «ald
About an hour later, Steinberg
said, Hutchen came out of the stu-
por and related details concerning
the scrum test.

11 nnd Mark 5, and a friend, Cleave
Arllne, 20, all disappeared after the
blast.
By the strangest of coincidences,
a white family living next door to
the bombed home, decided to spend
the night with relatives.
Marvin A. Burnett said he Just
"decided to spend the night at my
brother's home about n mile and a
half away." He insisted he had not
known the house next door had
been sold to Negroes.
Burnett told n reporter:
"One of the policemen on the case
was a friend of mine nnd be knew
where to find me. The explosion
went off about 3:45 In the morning.
I got there about 10 after 4.
"I found the house next door al-
most completely destroyed. The
foundation was blown completely
out about three or four Inches all'
the way nround. The front door was
missing. The house was mainly n
mess of loose hoards and splinters.
You could smell the powder In the
air."
Burnett said the bomb must have
been plnced In the basement in the
left front corner under the living
room.
"It tore an enormous hole In the
floor above nnd a piano fell down
in the hole. I'm sure surprised those
colored people In the house weren't
hurt bad," he sahl.
Thirteen houses in the area have
been purchased by Negroes, but
only one has been occupied, with-
out violence, possibly because nn
around-the-clock police guard has
been plnced on the house.
