Faubus Stand May Cause Party Split
Democratic National Chairman Paul Butler's condemnation of Gov. Orval Faubus and his branding of the right-to-work amendment as "unChristian" may be deciding factors in the future of the Democratic Party.
This was the opinion several political science professors expressed last night on the statement made yesterday by Butler at the University of Wichita.
The Democratic leader called Faubus "Fascistic, Communicist and un-American." He referred to the right-to-work issue as an "immoral and unChristian" piece of legislation designed to "destroy the rights of employees to organize and bargain collectively."
"Butler's stand may be a strong push toward a major split in the Democratic Party," Prof. Roy D. Laird said. He referred to a break similar to that made by the Dixiecrats in 1948.
Prof. Walter E. Sandelius also affirmed the possibility that a third party may rise in the South as a result of Butler's statement about Faubus.
May Identify Party Butler's charge may also help to identify the Democratic Party as being against the right-to-work bill,
Prof. John G. Grumm said. Then he added, "It might also bring labor closer to the Democratic Party."
Another member of the department, Prof. William J. Gore, said he would attempt no prediction whether Butler's statement will cause a party split. "But any person would be a fool to say it could not happen," he said.
He suggested Butler's position was, instead, the first indication the liberals are moving toward an absolute stand on the segregation issue.
Prof. Ethan Allen, chairman of the political science department, commended Butler for his position concerning Faubus but said he did not understand the conflicting language used by Butler.
Neither does he understand why Butler mixed religious sentiment and economics on the right-to-work amendment.
Butler said he is backed in his "unChristian" stand on the issue by a "considerable body of Protestant, Catholic and Jewish leaders."
Religious Leaders Answer
Two prominent Lawrence Christian leaders disagree with the Democratic leader on his "unChristian" contention
The Rev. Paul Davis, pastor of the Congregational Church, said "Neither a pro nor con attitude on the right-to-work issue is 'unis is in no way meant to reflect on or refer to any group offering aid, but solely to organizational affiliations."
GIHR Makes Resolution Denying Political Ties
Members of the Group for the Improvement of Human Relations have passed a resolution denouncing a rumor that they are politically affiliated.
"The GIHR is in no way affiliated nor desirous of being affiliated with any political organization or party in any way" soever.
The group resolved that:
The ASC has a subcommittee whose purpose is similar to that of the GIHR, but the organizations are independent bodies.
Kenton Keith, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore and co-ordinator of restaurant visitation, said there is "a feeling that we are affiliated with a political party, and this is not true."
"We don't wish to be exclusive in this field. It's everyone's right and responsibility to be concerned with the problem of discrimination," Linda Bodle, Lawrence senior and chairman of the GHR, said.
The GIHR has been on campus for three years.
Christian.' He suggested Butler may be assuming that security and collective stability is the basis of Christianity.
Rev. Davis said he places "in

Little Danger Seen From Missile Base
There is little danger of a Topeka-based atomic missile exploding over Lawrence.
That opinion was given The Daily Kansan today by a Lawrence Air Force officer who asked that his name not be used.
The Air Force announced yesterday a $31 million missile-launching site will be built near Forbes Air Force Base south of Topeka. It is scheduled for completion by late 1960.
The missile center, one of six planned by the Air Force over the nation, will be another striking arm of the Strategic Air Command. It will fire inter-continental ballistic missiles at pre-determined targets behind the Iron Curtain—if the United States is attacked.
"The danger from a possible missfire of an Atlas missile is slight when compared to the danger of attack from the enemy," the Air Force officer said.
Topeka was selected for the missile base because of its strategic position, the officer said. He said the Atlas and Titan missiles have a range of 5,000 miles—the approximate distance from the center of the United States to the heart of Russia.
It is believed the Topeka base will fire the Atlas missile from launching (Continued on Page 1)

Visiting Diplomat Says
Iranians Want Only Arab Religion, Not Nationalism
Iranians want nothing to do with Arab nationalism. Their connection to the Arabs is in religion only.
This idea was stated by Hessein Raffaty, a law professor at the University of Tehran and an English professor at the Military College in Iran.
Mr. Raffaty is a participant in the Foreign Specialists Program of the International Educational Exchange Service of the U. S. Department of State. He arrived on August 16 and will be in the U.S. until Dec. 13.
"The majority of Iranians have pro-American feelings. Russia is continually trying to gain control of the Middle East.
"To the Iranians the United States is the leading world power in politics and economics. It is left to the U.S., not only to build a strong Western Culture, but to save the present culture from communism by world leadership." he said.
Mr. Raffaty stressed the need for better brains in world politics. He feels the ambassadors we send abroad should be the top intelce-
