ACA Publishes Voting Aid
WASHINGTON — (UPI) Just off the press is a useful publication that offers a hard-nosed conservative analysis of the voting record of your representatives in the 87th Congress.
It is published by Americans for Constitutional Action (ACA), ACA is a non-nonsense conservative outfit sponsored by trustees including Admiral Ben Morecill (Rtd.), former governor Charles Edison of New Jersey, Edgar N. Eisenhower, former President Hoover, and Loyd Wright of Los Angeles, a former president of the American Bar Association.
ACA analyzes congressional votes deemed to uphold the U.S. Constitution in contrast to votes deemed by ACA to further the socialization of the United States. It abhors the point of view adopted by some important and effective political elements that the Constitution is unsuited to modern conditions. ACA concedes, however, that this point of view has prevailed to a considerable extent in the following developments:
- "By tortuous legislative, executive and judicial interpretations of the 'general welfare' and 'commerce' clauses and by various amendments of the Constitution.
- "By an ill-advised Constitutional amendment (the 16th for graduated income tax), which empowers Congress to confiscate all of the income from private property and all of the fruits of individual citizens labors, without limitation.
- "By abdication by Congress of its constitutional authorities and responsibilities in favor of an all-powerful Chief Executive.
"By judicial decisions of questionable jurisdiction rationalized by the so-called New Social Doctrine.
"And, by bribery of the sovereign states with handouts from the federal government which are financed by tax extortions from the states' own citizens."
ACA is a nonprofit, nonpartisan nationwide political action organization. It encourages conservatives to
Integration Conflict Worries Mother of Egyptian at KU
An Egyptian mother tried for three days to telephone her son at KU recently. She was worried over the recent Mississippi integration crisis.
"Samy," she told him, "I want you to come home."
Samy M. Alify, who is doing research in public administration in the Governmental Research Center, was surprised by the call. He understood his mother's reaction, though. It was not unusual for a citizen of the Middle East.
Explaining later, Afiff said people in the Middle East regard recent events in Mississippi very seriously, since they are "always against" segregation.
"THEY THINK any thing that happens in one state reflects the attitude of the whole country.
"In other countries, people don't understand the difference between federal and state authority," Afify explained. "The newspaper headlines say, 'United States student not allowed to enter university because he is colored.' And this is a true statement."
A former teacher in Middle East countries, Afify has four college degrees. The most recent was a doctorate in education granted by KU this year.
New Organization to Aim For Cultural Understanding
The Muslim Society, a newly organized club to promote cultural understanding between races, will meet at 7 p.m. tomorrow in room 306 of the Kansas Union.
Zafar H. Israeli, India graduate student, said the society was formed to promote a change of ideas through discussions and lectures.
Israeli said membership in the club is open to all.
Affy, who has traveled in many of the Arab states said people in that part of the world are bewildered about racial problems in the United States.
THEY CANNOT understand how the idea of segregation exists in a nation that calls itself democratic and preaches democracy abroad, he said.
To the Middle Easterner, he said, the issue very simply is that "any government should enforce its constitution, but what kind of enforcement do you have when a governor openly defies the highest law of the land and still is allowed to retain his position?
"When a person lives in a country a long time, maybe he can understand its problems," he said. "But you can't expect the people of the world to come and live in the United States in order to understand your problems."
form local ACA chapters to support conservative candidates.
In the 1960 election, ACA variously assisted 21 Senate candidates and 159 candidates for the House, 180 in all. Of these, 133 were elected. ACA now is providing 18 professional organizers and campaign specialists to 11 senatorial and 35 congressional candidates. It will endorse and assist a total of 147 conservative candidates in this year's election.
ACA IS SUPPORTED entirely by private contributions. Such contributions are not tax-exempt and ACA cautions interested persons that contributions to ACA by tax-exempt foundations and by corporations would be unlawful.
Copies of the ACA Index, analysis of congressional votes may be obtained from ACA headquarters in Washington, D.C.

The sources said they had no idea when the reply will be made. They said that France, which has its own atomic program including plans for atomic submarines, was studying the offer.
PARIS—(UPI)—The French government is studying an offer by the United States to sell France a Nautillus-type atomic submarine, high government sources said today.
Acquiring an atomic submarine at this stage, the sources said, would give France the opportunity to start on actual training of crews in the use of atomic vessels.
The offer was made by U.S. deputy defense secretary Roswell L. Gilpatric, the sources said, but France has not yet replied to the offer.
