This took place about a month ago and since then India Edwards has kept very quiet—until the other By this time Dr. Scott and Mus., Buck had pretty much forgot- ten their New York Herald Tribune | panel discussion, but suddenly they got letters from Mrs. India Edwards. Very sweetly Mrs. Edwards re- minded them of their Herald Tri- bune statements that they had sup- ported Senator Smith not because of her political party but because she is a woman Continuing, Mrs. Edwards said that another fine woman—namely Congresswoman Helen Gahagan Douglas, Démocrat—was running in California as U. S. Senator. Mrs. Edwards said she knew it would be consisfent with the pre- viously stated policy of the General Federation of Women's Clubs and / the National Federation of Busi- ness and Professional Women's Clubs to endorse Mrs, Douglas, & Démoerat, and that she was eagerly j awaiting word to this effect. | Students of U. S. A, Though it hasn’t made headlines, a total of 28,000 foreign students are studwing in the U.S.A. this year, most of them sponsored by individ- ual colleges or student groups, their contribution toward breaking down prejudice between nations. Most of the students have come {rom non-Soviet countries, but some have slipped through the Iron Cur- tain from Poland, Czechoslovakia and Finland. The list of individual colleges promoting this people-to-people friendship is too long to be given here, but perhaps Hastings College Nebraska, is typical. Not a wealthy institution, Hastings began making room for refugees discovered by Hastings G. L's in slave-labor camps. The first student, a young Dutch vicfim of a Nazi camp, wrote to: the authorities of Hastings College in®what he thought was perfect English. “I plan to leave here pretty damn quick,” he said, upon being notified that scholarship was avail- able, Other students have included a Jewish refugee from Czechoslovakia, ! two Norwegian veterans of the un- derground, several Kores o Chinese, an Iranian and several Mexicans, The college has used | these students on speaking te to deliver foreign-affairs talks through Nebraska.

It will be his first real test of civil lib- erties. - ¥ “The case, fiee Cassell 'vs. the State of Texas, involves theé fact that Texas has consistently put-‘one ne- gro on every jury. Cassell's law- yer, Chris Di once Justice Hugo Black’s law clerk, was appointed by the Supreme Court to argue the se, and contended that this was an evasion cf civil liberties. If the nu of negroes " on Texas juries fluctuated from zero to three or four there would be no invasion of civil liberties, Dixie contended. But with one lone negro | consistently on every jury it look- ed like a deliberate pattern. Justice Clark, who had a good record on civil liberties as Attorney General, followed the argument carefully, tions of Joe Greenhill, Assistant Attorney General representing Tex- as. . Merry-Go-Round A memorial to Walter Winchell’s mother has already been erected at Doctors Hospital, New York, where she recently fell to her death, A catch has been placed on all win- dows so that they cannot be rais- ed more than six inches. Walter mother, age 177, had a fainting spell in front of the window. She had just talked to Winchell on the telephone after his Sunday broad- ast and congratulated him on re- _jceiving a medal from the Marine Corps Reserve Association. .The man responsible for beating Team- sters’ boss Dave Beck in his own Seattle kailiwick is Harold J. Gib- son, dynamic leader of the Inter- national Association of Machinists. Gibson is a labor leader to watch in the future. A lot of Teamsters, incidentally, were delighted at Beck's defeat. . . .Gov. Frank Carl- son of Kansas would like to ap- point editor-statesman Marcellus Murdock of the Wichita Eagle to the Senate vacancy left by the death of Clyde Reed. The only trouble is that this would make two Senators from ‘Wichita. Congressman Gene Cox of Georgia emphatically states that he is hav- ing nothing to do with N. Y.
