Bulldog head set squarely on top of wattled neck and stooped shoulders, massive gold watch chain spread across massive middle, Sir Winston Churchill, 84, came haltingly down the ramp from Columbine III one evening last week at the Military Air Transport Service terminal in Washington. At the bottom of the steps President Eisenhower watched solicitously as he waited for his visitor. Then, with Churchill triumphant, Eisenhower stepped forward and thrust out his hand. "Hello, my friend," he said. "Glad to see you back again." Churchill, noticeably composing himself, replied: "I am indeed glad...

...What do you mean 'but?'" Jack Bowles continued the attack. "Maybe you are going to say that this happens only in the southern and "border" states? Or that this is only true of Negroes? Just remember what happened to the Korean-American, Sammy Lee. This athlete twice won gold medals for the U.S.A. in diving at the Olympic Games. The President himself sent him on a tour in the Far East. And why? So he would be an example of the absence of racial discrimination in America. And what happened to him when he came back?
