McCarthy Denounced From Church Pulpits
New York—Two leading Episcopal churchmen yesterday denounced Sen. Joseph J. McCarthy from pulpins in New York and Washington, calling his methods "grave abuses" and McCarthyism "another of the devil's 'disguises.'"
The Rev. Francis B. Sayre Jr., dean of the Washington cathedral, exchanged pulpits with the Rev. Dr James A. Pike, dean of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, here as part of their joint plan to preach against Sean. McCarthy.
Dean Sayre, speaking at the New York church, said the method of McCarthy is "diametrically opposed" to the mercy of God.
"If there are a few innocent ones that suffer, Sen. McCarthy has said that it is for the common good," he said.
"For the sake of 10 guilty ones he will dam an armym. For the sake of 20 he is willing to wreck a whole administration. For the sake of 30 or 40 or 50 he will divide a nation right down to its democratic roots."
Dean Pike said many Americans have been made insensitive to the "grave abuses of Mr. McCarthy and his henchmen, unconcerned as to the hurt done fellow citizens who have been afforded no due process."

Two-Headed Child May Face Crisis
Indianapolis — (U.P) — Indiana's two-headed baby may reach a crisis in his fight for life within one or two days, but not before, doctors said today.
The child, christened Daniel Kaye and Donald Ray, was still "critical" with a case of pneumonia in Daniel Kaye, the "weaker" side. The baby has two heads, four arms with separate upper bodies joined to a single trunk. The stronger side, Donald, has been in good health and is taking enough food to nourish the entire body, although Daniel seldom eats.
The boy was rushed to James Whitcomb Riley hospital for children here last Thursday and placed in an oxygen tent. Daniel has only one lung to fight the respiratory disease, X-rays showed. Donald has two.

Douglas Hikers-Minus 13 Face First Night Outdoors
Hancock, Md.—(U.P.)—Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas and his hardy band of nature lovers set out today for a 21-mile hike and their first night in the open after a taste of civilization at its softest.
Jayhawk Brotherhood Asks:
'How Does It Feel to Be a Negro?'
The famous Eisenhower grin disappears when the sujetec of another term comes up. A deadly serious President explains that he would be 70 years old at the end of a second term, and that he does not intend to carry the burdens of office into those latter years.
It is fair to say that Republican politicians generally are unimpressed by Mr. Eisenhower's mid-term disavowal of second-term plans. Some of them have heard it before from other Presidents. Others don't believe he can make it stick—nor that he really will feel that way in the spring of 1956 when he surveys the accomplishments and failures of a first term.
The pressure on him to run will be terrific.
(Editor's Note: This is the first of a series of four articles compiled, not by members of the Kansan staff, but by members of the Jawhayk Brotherhood.)
The Jayhawk Brotherhood, which recently disclosed that its enrollment poll showed three-fourths of the students polled were opposed to discriminatory practices prevalent in this area, today began a followup of this poll by releasing interview materials which answer the question. "How does it feel to be a Negro?"
"The feeling of being a Negro is sometimes a feeling of distress," wrote a sophomore. The tone of this person's statement is rather typical of the responses, some of which paint a rosier picture than others.
Most of the student writers have little criticism to make of their status at KU with regard to their relationship toward other students, their instructors, or the University administration.
"I have always been entirely satisfied with my relations with University officials," he wrote.
Another's opinion: "As for as the University is concerned, there is no visible oreidice."

"When I applied for a job at the University library, I was judged by my ability and qualifications, and I would be working there now if I could have gotten the desired arrangement of classes. In my classes there is nothing to stop my progress older than the limits to our own humanity and ability to the required work. On the campus, I feel like a regular Jawhawk."
"The Negro student has the opportunity to do almost what he wants on the Hill. . ." said a third
"University life here . . . has inspired in me a feeling of being a part of one large family of students." another student wrote. "In many instances, I have been made to feel, not as just a Negro student, but rather as just another member of this great family, and for the most part I . . . maintain that feeling until I leave the campus. It is then that I become aware once more that I am not simply a student, but rather a Negro student."
"On the campus, I am the same as any other of the more than 6.000 members $p$ of the University family," wrote the coed. "When I lived at North College hall, I was just another freshman girl, and because of that I was in many of the activities there. The girls accepted me for what I was."
Some political realists suggest that Mr. Eisenhower overlooks a vital fact in seeking to take himself out of the presidential picture at this time. If he actually persuaded Republicans that he would not run again, Mr. Eisenhower's powers of leadership would diminish considerably. A President definitely on the way out is not in a position much to reward or punish the party faithful.
The sharp general contrast between experiences and feelings of Negro students while on the Hill, and when in Lawrence proper, was brought out again and again. For instance, the student who felt like a regular "Jayhawker" on campus continued:
"I go to a show and sit in the section for Negroes. After leaving the show I very often think how nice it would if I could go someplace to eat or a little dancing. There is no place for me to go unless I return to the campus. I then realize that the people of Lawrence fail to accept me, and for no reason other than that God made me brown."
Serious though Mr. Eisenhower appears to be, some politicians take a look at the record and remain unconvinced. They recall his 1951-52 determination that he would not campaign for political office nor quit his military job in Europe to gain political ends. Events changed Mr. Eisenhower's mind and they are likely to do so again.
pledge, said, "Having to sit in a segregated theater is extremely distasteful, as is the lack of having a place to take a date for a malt or hamburger."

"The only place the Negro students can amuse themselves is at a theater which has reserved places for them to sit," another student pointed out.

The band, which started out Saturday near Cumberland, Md., covered 27 miles along the historic Chesapeake and Ohio canal yesterday despite the rugged weather. Purpose of the 185-mile hike to Washington, D.C., is to prove that a proposed highway along the canal banks would destroy the scenery.

Besides Justice Douglas, the freshest members of the party appeared to be 73-year-old George F. Miller and Charles P. Thomas, 78, who developed his stride during his years as a mailman.
Destination today is Fort Frederick park where the hikers plan to cook—and for the first time—sleep in the open. The hike was the outgrowth of a Washington Post editorial which advocated construction of a modern highway along the canal.
