...unpainted, poster-plastered little hut of a cafe outside the Gregg County seat of Longview in East Texas, a handful of teen-age Negroes drank soda pop, danced to the music of a beat-up jukebox, chattered happily just because it was Saturday night. Suddenly the cheerful inside noises were smeared by the snarl of a car outside, a sputtering of shots ("like a string of firecrackers," said one witness) and a scream...
...Speaking to Lenten preachers, priests and seminarians, Pope Pius XII condemned the sexy art work that enlivens Roman walls. "To choose only one recent case," he said, "an important daily newspaper gave a highly colored description of two huge licentious posters . . . Who can tell what ruin in souls, especially those of youngsters, such images may provoke, how many dirty thoughts and feelings they may produce . . . ?"

...HYRC, while engaging in canvassing, poster distributing, and secretarial work, is, for a large club--nearly 500 members, counting the 120 Law School Republicans--comparatively inactive. Through its subsidiary, the Students for Eisenhower, it has contributed to the efforts of Representative Lawrence Curtis and has co-operated with the Cambridge Republican organization as well as the Whittier headquarters in Boston. One Young Republican, displeased with the lack of activity in the HYRC, commented that the club was worried about not having done anything substantial, but felt that, barring a visit to Boston by President Eisenhower, there was little that...
