...facts did not support such racist conclusions, and despite pressure from Southern editors, the wire services refused to give that slant to their reports on Northern school delinquency. Many Southern editors nonetheless echoed the Montgomery Advertiser's taunt that the real story was being suppressed by ''such deluded racists as the New York Times.'''' A widely distributed series of cartoons in the Nashville Banner derided "Mixiecrats" and "Bleeding Hearts," pictured the North's "objective liberal press" as burying delinquency stories on the obituary pages. When newsmen such as the Atlanta Journal...
...Prime Minister Johannes Gerhardus Strydom has been ill for months with a heart ailment, and a doctor's report last week made it seem unlikely he could ever serve again. With new elections scheduled for April, the scramble for National Party power is likely to be between unbendingly racist Dr. Hendrik Verwoerd, the favorite leader of extremist Transvaal, and Dr. Theophilus DÖnges, who draws his support from the slightly more liberal Nationalists of the Cape Town area. As a compromise, party leadership may fall to Minister of Justice Charles Swart, whose most notable recent contributions to jurisprudence...
...routine that is turning many a Dixie radical red with frustration. North Carolina's Luther Hodges was chairman of the 1957 Southern Governors Conference, engineered the election of Florida's LeRoy Collins as his successor -even though a nominating committee had already settled on Georgia's racist Marvin Griffin.

Panicky because Negro vote strength was rising in his county seat of Tuskegee (pop. 6,700), Engelhardt last May authored a gerrymander that jig-sawed more than 400 Negro residents-and the respected Negro Tuskegee Institute-outside the city's limits. Forthwith, the city of Tuskegee was hard hit by a Negro boycott (TIME, July 8) that slashed white merchants' business 50%, shut down stores that depended primarily on Negro...
...troops in World War II, returned to Johannesburg in 1944 to take up a multitude of directorships. He occupied his father's old seat in the South African Parliament for ten years, was a leader in the United Party, which opposes Prime Minister Strydom's racist policies. Six years ago Sir Ernest began turning over control of the empire to Harry, made him co-managing director of Anglo American. As he was elected chairman, Harry resigned his Parliament seat, donated $2,800,000 of his personal fortune to a new Ernest Oppenheimer Memorial Fund to be used...
