uneventful runoff primary
Two proposed constitutional amendments
and a handful of legislative races also will
be on the ballot All runoffs are within the
Democratic party although Republicans will
be able to vote on the two questions
The vote turnout is expected to be small
because of the small number of races and
general lack of interest
Major interest will be on the only state-
wide runoff—for the Democratic nomination

finance authority to issue up to
$10 million in revenue bonds the

ting counties to vote additional
ad valorem tax levies of not less

ter Pierce's daughter had written

he and his wife told the youth
not to see the girl anymore
The father stated Martin had
been to the Pierce home on two
earlier occasions Saturday night
before driving up the third time
Pierce claimed the youth got
out of his car and walked to-
ward the house exclaiming "get
your gun because I'm coming in"

Lumumba asks
:
U N deadline
set on Belgians yo
UNITED NATIONS N Y IA31
—Premier Patrice Lumumba of
the Congo said Monday he asked'
UN Secretary-General Dag Ham-
marskjold to set a deadline for
Belgium to withdraw its troops:
from the Congo
He said Hammarskjold assured'
him he would spare no effort I
Lumumba told' a news confer-
ence it was "in this spirit" the
secretary-general would negoll-1
ate with the Belgian govern-
ment in Brussels
Hammarskjold leaves New
York tonight and will stop in
Brussels Wednesday enroute to
Leopoldville in the Congo
Lumumba answering ques-
tions did not make clear wheth-
er Hammarskjold agreed to set
an exact deadline for Belgian
withdrawal as the premier had
asked
Hammarskjold announced ear-
lier he is going to Brussels for
discussion with the Belgian gov-
ernment and to Leopoldville for
an on - the - spot survey of the
Congo
Lumumba said his government
wanted Belgian soldiers Out of
all the Congo including the
bases to which they are being
withdrawn as UN forces move
into strategic spots
Asked how he planned to solve
the problem of the secession of
Katanga province he said:
"There is no Kiitanga problem
There is only the problem of the
withdrawal of the Belgian
troops"
He charged that Belgium had
plotted in advance to hold back
that wealthy province when the
Congo became independent June
30
Lumumba said L Edgar Det-
wiler American financier has'
no 50-year-contract for exploita-
tion of Congolese resources as
he has claimed The premier ex-
plained that there was only an
agreement in principle and that
a contract could be tilgned only
after an investigating commis-
sion and the Congo parliament
had approved that agreement
The premier said he would
visit Washington go to Canada
to recruit French-speaking tech-
nicians and return to Leopold-
ville on Thursday to talk with
Hammarskjold there
Thomas Kanza Congolese min-
ister delegate to the UN will
go with Hammarskjold But Lu-
'mumba said he would stay be-
Lind to pay his respects to Presi-
dent Eisenhower who is vaca-
tioning in Newport R
US officials made clear they
would like to see him visit Wash-
ington Owen Roberts a State
department escort officer has
been with him almost constantly
since he flew into New York
Roberts has inquired about
Lumumba's plans with the idea
that an official invitation might
follow if he intended to visit the
US capital But he has been
told that Lumumba had nothiLg
planned beyond tonight when
Hammarskjold will leave
Technical assistance experts
took part in Lumumba's midday
discussion with Hammarskjold
in contrast to the political ex-
perts that joined in a first 2-
hour talk between the two latel

By JIM MONROE
CHICAGO (IP) — Vice Presi-
dent Richard M Nixon stood up
Oklahoma Republicans Monday
afternoon but they're sticking
with him for the presidential
nomination
Nixon cancelled his picture-
taking parties with delegates
from Oklahoma and a score of
lother states
Conferences with platform
writers kept him away from the
photography sessions
Oklahomans didn't know about
the change in plans until they ar-
rived panting at the Sheraton-
Blackstone hotel Traffic jams
and Milling crowds also delayed
their cross-town trip
ConniN Brand state national
committeewoman from Oklahoma
City said that the Oldahomans
were disappointed but were not
mad at Nixon
Doug McKeever delegation'
chairman from Enid said the
Sooners will get another shot at
Nixon probably Wednesday
morning
A scrap within the Oklahoma
delegation apparently will be set-
tled at a caucus this morning
McKeever said a new national
committeeman and committee-
woman will be chosen at that
time
Vying for the committeewom-
an's post are Mrs Brand and
I Mrs Dorcas Kelly Bristow
Mrs Brand announced during
the winter she did not intend to
seek re-election But she said
Monday that pressure from her
friends had caused her to change
her mind and she would be happy
to continue
An Oklahoman who asked not
to be quoted said Mrs Brand was
believed to have a 14-8 edge in
votes

As usual in these convention
attdresses Hoover said this was
his final appearance
As he put it:
"Unless some miracle comes to
me from the good Lord this is
finally it"
There were cries of "No! no!"
from the crowd
lloover's message for his fellow
Republicans:
"We have been brainwashed"
by Red sympathizers who scorn
the nation's achievements
"They insist that love of coun-
try pride of a people in their his-
tory their ideals and their ac-
complishments is wicked nation-
1 alism" he said
'Ever since the war the Com-
munist 'fronts' and the beatniks
and the eggheads have conducted
a national chorus of denunciation
of this wicked nationalism"
Hoover the elder statesman of
Republicans said the nation needs
to regain pride in its heritage—
"a rebirth of a great spiritual
force which has been impaired by
cynicism and weakened by for-
eign infections"
"Call it nationalism if you
will" he said "But there is an
American kind of nationalism
which is neither isolationism nor
aggression and embedded deep
within it is compassion for dis-
tress both at home and overseas"

CHICAGO liN—Irice Presi-
dent Richard M Nixon step-
ped squarely into the middle
of a civil rights row Monday
as he arrived to take over
jeadership of the Republican
national convention
Nixon dropped all other en-
gagements and set about try-
ing to persuade a balky plat-
form drafting committee to
strengthen a compromise
civil rights plank that he pro-
nounced unsatisfactory
A Southern member of the
committee Thomas Stagg jr
of Louisiana said several
hours after Nixon begaa his
efforts however that "we
have enough votes to defeat"
any move to rewrite the
plank
Stagg is a leading exponent of
the moderate viewpoint that pre-
vailed when the plank was adopt-
ed Joseph F Carlin° of New York
chairman of the platform sub-
committee which has handled the
civil rights question said earlier
that a move probably will be
made within the committee today
to scrap the moderate plank and
substitute One more closely re-
flecting the views of Nixon and
New York Gov Nelson A Locke
feller
Charles U Percy platform
committee chairman said no
committee member has notified
him of any intent to seek recon-
sideration however
The platform committee met
'for about three hours late Mon-
day but apparently confined its
deliberations to federal aid to
education Percy declined to com-
ment on the progress on that sub-
ject -
Stagg added that the committee
is "resisting any attempt to dic-
tate by Mr Rockefeller or by any
source outside the committee"
Percy interjected to say with
Stagg assenting that neither Nix-
on nor Rockefeller had attempt-
ed to direct the committee what
to do but merely had made sug-
gestions Percy said a four-man editing
group is putting together the
civil rights plank approved by the
committee This is the version
Nixon and Rockefeller want
changed
Members of the editing group
besides Percy are Sens Gordon
