...apparent belief that these negotiations with Communists have appeal to voters, the Kennedy Administration last month backed Donovan, 46, as the Democratic choice to run for the U.S. Senate against Republican Incumbent Jacob Javits. Only a man as determinedly hopeful as Donovan would be willing to take on that sacrificial assignment.

The Press-Scimitar, more liberal than the Appeal, has sided with Democrat Estes Kefauver since his first U.S. Senate race in 1948; the Appeal waited until 1954 to endorse Kefauver, then changed its mind and opposed him two years ago. The Appeal does not lack for courage. Circulating in an area preponderantly segregationist, it nevertheless printed an editorial of its own on the Mississippi riots that was fully as forthright as the chain editorial spun...
