Cineinnati-"The racial question
Is the single most important do

man Clara Boothe Luce declared
on a visit to Cincinnati last week.
AT every point Of our econom-
mic structure, you will find the
Negro question is involved. II is
very expensive to our economy
not to mention our spiritual de-
velopment as a nation to deny the
the Negro rights to which he is
entitled"
Mrs. Luce. however. expressed
confidence in the progress that is
being made in America in racial
relations Our system is making
progress Many colored are in coll
leges and universities where there
were none 50 years ago. When you
appeal to the American peoples
religious beliefs and their faith
in democratic principles, they will
usually see the force of your ar
gument."
The former U. S. Representative
decried the use Of civil rights leg
islation as political football.
Il think the whole question Of
civil rights Is fraueht with the
most profound hypocrisy on bath
sides" Mrs. Luce charged. There

torical and geographical reasons.
more willingness to put it through
than there is among Democrats. a.
gain for historical and geographic
al reasons. But there IS hypocrisy
on both sides. I would be very
much surprised II any FEpC leg

several who favor the segregation
