Calls COP Civil

Attacks Sparkrnan

NEW YORK, Sept. ,22-Walter
White, executive secretary. of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People,
said today that neither Governor
Adlai Stevenson nor General
Dwight D. Eisenhower can win
the Presidential election without
the Negro vote. He said this vote,
which is not ''in the bag" for
either candidate, holds the bal
ance of power in II states with
293 electoral votes (266 needed
to win.)
Writing in the new issue of

the immense gratitude Negroes
feel for Harry Truman because of
his fight for civil rights "has not

LION OF JUDAH
TAKES OVER
DEFENSE OF
ERITREA

ASMARA, Eritea - (ANP) -
After more than 20 years Of
italian and British. rule Eritrea
conquered by the British and
India troops in 1941, acclaimed the
birth of new nation last week
as Eritreans watched the Lion Of
Judah take over this Italian
colony and the British Lion bow
out.
Nearly 10000 clapping, yelling
and happy Eritreans watched the
raising of the green, yellow and
red flag of Ethiopia, who is now
her protector.
Under a United Nations de-
cision in 1850, Eritrea is to be-
come an independent state loosely
federated with Ethiopia. The
Federal act adding the colony to
Ethiopia was signed earlier last
week by Emperor Halle Selassie,
thus giving his land-locked en-
pire an outlet to the Red sea.
Eritrea is about the size OF
Ohio in area. It's independence
marked the last stage of settling

vatives and for nominating Ala
banla John Sparkman for the
Vice Presidency. While admitting
that Mr.. Sparlzman helped draft
the civil rights plank In tne
Democrats platform, he said.
"Behind that act lies Suarkman's
unbroken 10-year record OF hav-
ing voted against civil rights leg
islation sixteen out OF sixteen
times"
Partial atonement for this, said
Mr.. White, twas afforded by the
(Democratic) platform planks
pledging support of an FEPC
and amendment of Senate and
House rules against f1llbusters."
He called the Democratic plat
form affirmative" on civil rights
calling it markedly in contrast
with the woefully weak and
meaningless one of the Republic
Mr.. White cited reasons for a
possible break with the Demo-
cratic Party by many Negro
voters in this years elections:
/. During the past four years,
200 Federal judges have been ap-
pointed and confirmed yet just
one was a Negro.
2. Despite the fact that more
and more qualified Negroes are
graduating from schools and uni
versities, sin only a microscopic
fraction of their cases has their
training opened up doors Of
Government employment to them
on scale proportionate to
Whites"
8. A number of posts of great
influence "have been filed with
persons of anti-Negro records
ranging from poor to vicious"
Negroes would have an easy
voting chance, Mr.. White said in
Look, if the Republicans record
were any better. Unfortunately"
he said, it isn't. In certain re-
spects it is worse" He pointed
out that:
l. Sen. Richard Nixon, the COP
vice presidential candidate, has
voting record mot much" better
than Sparkman's nixon voted as
recently as June "a, 1852, agairr..
permitting even Senate discus
sion of the Ives Humphrey
FEPC Bill"
2. The COP record is worse "in
that the excuse of political ne
cessity, which Southern Senators
like Sparkman give for their
voting records, does not exist for
the Northerners.
8. The COP civil rights plat
form is 'the weakest and most
meaningless the Republicans
have ever adopted"
a. The Negro voter knows that
IAN FEPC law with enforcement
powers would today be eight
years old had the Republicans
kept their unqualified pledge (of)
their 1914 platform"
1t is the civil rights issue, ac-
cording to Mr.. White, which will
do most to influence the large
independent vote and the four
million Negro voters this fall.
Negroes are more united on civil
rights than so large of voters has
ever been on single ISSUE" he
maintained.
He attacked recent statements
In some quarters that if neither
party is reServing of the Negro
vote, the Negro shouldn't 90 to
the polls. Such a course" he
said in Look, would be one of
deteatism (and) would be pre-
