Selection of a winner to represent the local area in the forthcoming Group competition was made by Professor Robert Weiss, Head of the Speech Department at DePauw and Professor John Foxen of the Speech Department. Miss Almeda Boatright, winner of the contest, spoke on the subject “Can We Meet the Challenge’’ was concerns the basis upon which the United States was founded. “The G: sat American Sickness”, that is the lack of each person carrying his share of the responsibility of government, can only be cured by “analytical thinking without prejudice”. Free and courageous use of the individual mind” is necessary to preserve the American form of Government. “Education and personal awareness can meet the challenge ’ to maintain the basic principals upon which the United States government was founded.

Alabama Faces Racial Protests Integreation leaders in Birmingham said Thursday night that Dr. Martin Luther King stands ready to move into Birmingham “at the flick of a swatch” to lead a new wave of demonstrations in the Southern steel city. A six-month racial truce ended in Birmingham Thursday, when 12 Negroes picketed in the downtown area on a claim that city officials and merchants had reneged on integration promises. Leaders said more demon*trations would be staged today. All 12 pickets were arrested, including one who appeared to be about 10 years old. In other civil rights demonstration activities, a group of seven New Englanders at Boston prepared to leave for St. Augustine. Fla., to participate in demonstrations in the 400-year-old city. The all-white group is the first of about 60 New r Englanders, including the mother of Massachusetts Gov. Endicott Peabody, w-ho plan to make the journey in waves.

Demos To Stress National Unity WASHINGTON UPI — President Johnson wants the Democratic party to campaign this year on a national unity platform offering "a better deal” to everyone. He offered that prescription Thursday night in a pep talk to more than 5,000 Democrats at a SlOO-a-plate dinner to raise money for the party's senatorial and congressional campaign committees. The President, a rising political figure during the Roosevelt administration s New Deal and the Truman administration s Fair Deal, seems fond of “a better deal” as a slogan for his own program. He used the term in his television interview last Sunday and twice Thursday night. But he put more stress on his call for Democrats to approach the 1964 national election with “a unifying campaign.” Johnson expressed the belief that the assassination of President Kennedy in November had “ignited a new flame of unity and seriousness and soberness of purposes” in the United States. He asked his party to fan the flame. Sparkman Raps LBJ Anti-Poverty WASHINGTON UPI — Sen. John Sparkman. D-Ala., said today the civil rights bill would work against President Johnson’s anti-poverty program by —penalizing the poor through federal fund cutoffs. Sparkman, a moderate among Southern senators, leveled his attack on the legislation in his second prepared Senate speech on a motion to call up the bill. Southern opponents indicated that they would call off their preliminary talkathon around the middle of next week. Sen. Richard B. Russell. DGa., objected Thursday to a leadership proposal that the Senate vote Monday on the motion. But he said a vote could come after “several days” of additional talk. Later Russell said that meant not before Wednesday. Southerners also are working to produce votes for the motion of Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore., to send the bill to the Judiciary Committee for 10 days of hearings. That decision cannot come until the bill is before the Sen-

ate.

— The United Auto Workers, armed W’ith $65 million strike fund, met today to shape a jumbo bundle of wage-benefit demands for this summer’s negotiations with the auto indus-

try.

UAW President Walter P. Reuther aimed at a contract package that would raise payroll cost at least 4.9 per cent a year-roughly 15 to 18 cents an hour for nearly 600,000 production workers. That target, about twice as big as the typical 1963 contract settlement, may invite criticism from President Johnson when he addresses the 2.000 delegates Monday. Johnson has appealed for moderation in bargaining this year. Reuther said in his report to the union's 19th convention that UAW negotiators would drive for earlier retirement and a new escalator clause to increase pensions when wages of living costs go up. The labor leader earlier said h’ union would drive for longer vacations with extra bonus pay, plantwide work breaks and restrictions on overtime to provide more jobs.
