little "spouting Off in his direc-

christianity" "democr acy,"
human race" equality" "oppor-
tunity," brotherhood" and "indi-

able to walk and yet not attempt
to understand them? Brother J.

most Christian, most democratic,
most fair-minded individual that

gro the Swedish scholar says
us the more striking as the South
erner is himself convinced that
he knows the Negro while the
Yankee is supposedly ignorant on
the subject. The insistenCe on the
part Of the Southern whites that
they have reliable and intimate
knowledge about the Negro prob
lem is one of the most pathetic
Stereotypes in the South. In fact,
the average SOutherner knows
the Negro and the interracial
problem as the patient knows the
toothaChe, not as the diagnosing
dentist knows his own or his pa
tents trouble"
Myrdal also refers to the salts
faction SouthernerS derive, as a
conscience salver, out of every
indication that Negroes are not
treated well in the North and, in
deed, that groups other than Ne
groes are living in distress in the
North"
The Legal Factors
When Mr.. johnson, in his col
umn, alludes to racial and relig-
iouS prejudices in the North, he
ignores one vital factor: racial
discrimination in the South is not
only legally sanctioned but &C
tually enforced by an elaborate
network of statutes. In the North.
with few exceptions, racial pref
udiCe lacks the buttreSSing of le-
gal sanction; indeed, the tendency
IS for more states to place anti
discrimination laws on their sta
tute books. In one region, it is
illegal to grant equal rights to
Negroes; in another, it is illegal
to deny them.
| make no blanket condemna-
ton of the South l have re-
pcatedly, in dispatches from that
area, stressed the growing liberal
fcrment there. They know, too
as | do, that the loose term,
Southern liberals covers a Jen-
nlngs Perry as well as a Gerald
W. johnson. Finally, agree with
Myrdal when he observes:
mo Yankee will be tactlesS
enough to mention it, in so many
words, and no Southerner can af-
ford to admit, but the main thing
happening in the South is that it
is gradually becoming American
Ized."

There were cops in New York who remembered
Tony Ecker's face, but they weren't looking for
him. He wasn't here; he was three thousand
miles away. He had seven million bodyguards
to screen him from the cops. It's no trick to
lose yourself among seven million. All you have
to do is keep out of trouble.
In THE mirror behind the bar his eye met the
eye of a blonde girl who sat few yards away
She smiled at him invitingly and he walked
