MARK GABLE VIVEN LEIGH LESIf HOWARD • OUVIA de HAVUIAND Two Features Daily—3:30 and 7:30 Special Morning Show Wednesday 10 A. M. For Second Shift ADMISSION 10c—50c A four-game winning streak has Presbyterian college fans nomi nating the Battlin’ Blue Hose as currently South Carolina’s hottest football machine. The small, .spirited PC squad made it four in row by rolling over unbeaten, bowl-bound Appa lachian for the third Presbyte rian upset of the campaign. Altogether, the Hosemen have won five and lost three so far against a schedule which includes one Atlantic Coast and Southern Conference teams^ It’s a real tribute to Head Coach Bill Crutchfield and assistants Ed Schembechler and Norman Sloan. Presbyterian also gets the nod as the only Palmetto team con tinuing to uphold South Carolina prestige in inter-state competi tion, having whipped all four of its “foreign” opponents for the second straight year. Blue Hose fans credit their coaching staff and players with performing little short of a mira cle in reaching this point of the season with a better-than-500 rec ord already assured. An under manned and relatively inexpe rienced squad at the staft, it suf fered an almost unprecedented in jury siege which had six men out for the year by the time the cam paign was well underway. On top of this, 1954 was the year of the deadly schedule for Presbyterian, with five tough games lined up in a row and all nine opponents considered strong. Overcoming opening losses to Clemson and Furman, the Hose men upset Davidson, dropped a close decision by six inches to Wofford and then started on a vic tory splurge which has run rough shod over The Citadel, Catawba, Stetson and Appalachian. Great spirit and the most dead ly blocking in years have been the victory ingredients at Pres byterian. Indicative of the spirit of all members of the Ballin’ Blue Hose were the 60-minute performances turned in by six players against powerful Appalachian. These men in the line went all the way: Guard Luther Shealy, of iPacolet; Center Frank Boulware, I of Rock Hill; and Tackle Lee | Frierson, of Arcadia, Fla. And in the backfield they were: Quar terback Harry Hamilton, of Sen eca; Halfback George Blue, of Union; and Halfback Ken Webb, of Decatur, Ga. In addition, two others went for 58 minutes: Tackle Bob Harring ton, of Mont Clare, and Fullback Eddie Brockenbrough. Comp Fire Groups Observe National Book Week President Asks Bi-Partisan Support Congress Washington — President Eisen hower meets with Democratic and Republican congressional leaders today in the first critical test of three post-election pledges of bi-par tisan cooperation in the new Democratic Congress. ( Related foreign and military policy was the scheduled topic of the conference in the White House Cabinet Room. Secretary of State Dulles planned a briefing on worldwide developments since Congress adjourned last August. Secretary of Defense Wilson also was to participate. The significant meeting was first of its kind since the Nov 2 elections when the Democrats re captured control of Congress. It was held against the back drop of a controversial foreign policy speech by Republican Senate Leader Knowland of Cali fornia and intermittent out breaks of “hot 'war” between Chinese Communists and Na tionalists around Formosa. (The New York Times said to day that powerful Republicans would “look very coldly” upon any plan to bring the Democrat ic leadership into regular do- m e s t i c legislative discussions discussions with Eisenhower dur ing the next Congress. (A Washington dispatch to the Times said the GOP leaders ex pect intimate liaison between the new Democratic-controlled Con gress and the Republican white House to be confined to high for eign and military policy. (The story quoted Speaker Jo seph W. Martin, Jr., (R-Mass), as saying that to have the Demo cratic congressional leaders join the Republican chiefs in customary weekly land grant college presidents, pleaded for a better undestand ing between the peoples of the United States and Russia as the only sure way to a lasting peace. The White House also expressed support for Dulles. Negroes Say Will Only Accept Slight Segregation Delay In observance of National Book Week, Mrs. Tom Addison, chair man of the Kodaka District Camp Fire and Blue Bird organizations, has asked all groups to visit the Children’s Library. As a Thanksgiving project the members are asked to bring one good child’s garment for the wel fare committee of the Parent Teachers association at Florida Street school. The various groups, Mrs. Addi- son stated, have been invited to march in the parade today hon oring the National American Le gion Commander. talk with the President would “lead to the destruction of the whole principle of the two-party system.”) Knowland two days ago called Washington, Nov. 15—Attorneys for Negro parents told the Su-1 preme court today they would accept a slight delay in the wiping out of racially segregated public schools, but only until next Sep tember, the start of the next school year. However, six Southern states told the court an abrupt switch would be dangerous and would disrupt .the educational systems. The gravest concern was expressed by North Carolina, which said in tegration of the race* might bring “bloody race riots.” A suggestion that the actual ra cial integration of the school be handled by federal district courts in the states was made by Texas, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, tfte school board of Clarendon county, S. C., and the attorneys for Negro parents who are principals In the segregation cases before the high court. The states urged that the lower courts be given broad discretion to direct the integration to meet local conditions. The attorneys for the Negroes asked the court to lay down strict limitations to "any invitation to procrastinate.” Arkansas proposed that the court ask Congress to say how de segregation should be accomplish ed under the court’s ruling of last May 17 and that racial segrega tion in the school violated the Constitution. In handing down its historic de cision the court decided to hear further argument on how desegre gation could be carried out These their 1 arguments are scheduled to start legislative | Dec. 6. Today was the deadline Democrat" had a vainly empty ring. Thurmond had visited and shaken bends in every hamlet in South Carolina. Edgar Brown bad rarely shaken a voter’s hand out side the Province of Barnwell, and his manner toward the poor com mon man was not such as would inspire any devotion. It really must be something of tragedy to the defeated Brown, who beyond question has great ability, to find after three efforts at elective State office, that he had few friends though for years a boss of the State. The early incomplete returns mentioned above were taken from the And»rson Independent. . —The Easley Progress.

Dulles told his news conference yesterday he believes Eisenhow er’s foreign policy adequately covers the present world situa tion and that he knows of no em ergency requiring an extraordi nary review.

O'Dell Soil Con—rrationisf SAY— "I Saw II In THE CHRONICLE* To assist and encourage land owners in tree planting, the supervisors of the Laurens County Soil Conservation Dis trict at a recent meeting made plans to buy and operate a tree planter. The planter will be available for the coming planting season. A complete planting service will be offered. This will include the planter, a tractor for pulling the planter and operator for the equipment. Also technical help from the Soil Conservation Ser vice will be available for the planting operation. A charge of $7.00 per thousand trees will be made for the complete planting job. The land owner will fumish the trees, which are now avail able from the State Commission of Forestry at $3.00 per thousand delivered. It takes about 1,000 trees to plant one acre. Applications for 334,500 pine seedlings have already been sent in for this season by the local office of the Soil Conservation Service. Land owners who plan to plant trees this season should make their applications at once, before the supply of seedlings is exhausted. There is a need to conserve our forest, just as there is a great need for conservation of our soil tnd water. Woodlands properly managed, conserve net‘only tim ber, but soil and water, too. There will be no better way this winter to add both value and beauty to your farm than to plant idle acres to trees.

Both sides in the segregation cases from Virginia, South Caro lina, Delaware, Kansas and the District of Columbia have been allotted one hour each for oral argument. One hour each also was granted to states not directly in volved in the original cases be fore the court—Maryland, North Carolina, Florida, Arkansas, Ten nessee, Oklahoma and Texas. It is not known which of the attor neys general for each of these lat ter states will use the time allot ted to them. Some of the Southern states that filed briefs today said there was no constitutional bar to the court using its discretion to permit gradual desegregation. But attor neys for the Negroes said, “it would be paradoxical indeed if, in the instant cases, it were decided for the first time that constitution al rights may be postponed be cause of anticipation of difficul ties arising out of local feelings.” The attorneys said “piecemeal” desegregation of schools would increase tension and they urged that if the court decides on a gradual system there be "mini mum safeguards” to prevent in jury to Negro children. There must be safeguards, too, the at torneys said, against gradual ad justment having no specific end ing. It Takes More Than Office Holders An analysis of the incomplete State returns show that the Brpwn vote was based in no sense of the word on popularity but strictly on the workings of machine politics. For instance, Barnwell county was a shut-out for Thurmond. The next majority was in Marlboro county, the Neville Bennett county. In Darlington county, the Spot Mo- zingo county, Brown seems to have a heavy vote. He carried Dorches ter county, the J. D. Parler coun ty. But he lost Colleton, the Dick Jefferies county. Ihe ex-Governor probably getting cold in political influence. In violently Thurmond Greenville county, Edgar Brown received as a gift from his great and good friend, Charlie Veraer, the box at Piedmont. But there have been many disappointing re sults to the theory of election by political pressure on and thru office holders. The bee can be put on them for lip service but that does not control the action in the secrecy of the ballot. There were doubtless many sincere Office holder workers for Brown, but it is also apparent tms sad morning that many who cast votes tor Brown raised not a finger other than to do duty by voting. There was no enthusiasm. The "Mr. * Robbers Make Haul Riche/s Barber Shop Unknown robbers entered Ridley’s Barber Shop some time Tuesday night and imde a haul of the safe and all its contents. J!
