Little Rock Is-But Mostly Amt

The challenge of Amo and the adverse
attitude of another member of the commits
sion failed to dampen the Negroes IN their
original and non-compromising demand Tor
the exercising of their constitutional rights
to participate in the use of the facilities that
are already existing The group Immediately
discovered that nothing would be forthcom-
ing from the parks and recreatonal COM
mission as long as the director was opposed
to Negroes having what was rightfully theirs
So the group asked that the matter be re-
ferred to the city council with a favorable
recommendation. This was done only to be
met at the council by the same recommen-
dation of Amos conclusion
The council in turn refers it back to
the parks and recreation commission, which
automatically means that the problem of
golfing facilities for Negroes is just where
it originally was.
The Negroes made it clear that they
were not asking the city to add another bur
den to the taxpayers by building them some
thing special. They gave the impression that
they were not representing a special group
that demanded anything special. They only
wanted what the law says they are entitled,
and by granting them full citizenship privi-
leges revenue would be added to the city in
stead of extracted.
1t was brought out during the confer
ence with the commission by Amo that the
swimming pool built at Gillian park was los
ing money. That is no more than natural.
People do not support the things they do
not want They did not want swimming
pool built out Of the city in an inscct-infest-
ed mountain, and they do not want a golf
course in the same area, If the city goes a.
head and follow the recommendation of Amo
in denying the Negroes what they are en-
titled and ram something down their threats
they do not want it is our guess that the
liberal policies of the capital city of the
wonder State will get considerable airing.
1t is our understanding that the Negro group
that is comforting with the commission rep
reSents a group of Negro citizens proud Of
its city government and under no crcum-
stances will be contented until it is made a
part of that government, This is no sugges-
ton, but merely a comment after facts.
We still have faith in our elected off
cials to the extent that they will not let the
narrowness Of appontees obstruct liberal
progress.

Little Rock is advertised turnout the ma
lion as a liberal southern city following a
pattern that approaches a new day However
Ia lis who live In the capital of the wonder
State" this is a debatable subject. But we
tan praise very highly our elected officials,
and denounce in the same degree most of our
appointed officials
In Little Rock, the library facilities are
epened to the Negro without segregation or
discrimination And at certain times, Negro
es are permitted to enjoy other features Oh
Tho municipal government without diserim-
nation. But this is not true with the parks
and recreation facilities. Still there Is Ne
gro on the parks and recreation board. just
why Negro was appointed to the parks ana
recreation commission poses mystery
since there is no recreation within the city
for the Negro to enjoy. The city spends hun
,reds of thousands of dollars annually pro-
vidnp recreation of every type for its non
NEGRO citizens, but comparatively nothing
for its Negro citizens, despite the TACT taat
The Negro constitutes a little more than one
fourth Of the population.
In view of the Negroes participation in
other facilities, and definitely denied recTea-
tional facilities, leaves one to believe lhat
there is something wrong within the parks
and recreation commission.
A group of Negroes representing some
of the most substantial citizens of the city,
recently called on the parks and recreation
commission and made demands for partci-
patton in the recreational program. The con-
ference with the commission was not sur
prise for it was previously admonshed OF
the Negroes appearance. But the direct de-
mand of this Negro group startled the COM
mission. Some showed surprise, some showed
resentment, while others displayed diplo-
macy and were very tactful in handling what
the white man in the south terms delicate
situation.
The Negro group made direct demand
to use the municipal golf course This de.
mand was Immediately challenged by the
director of parks and recreation, w. X. Amo
Amo stated that two years previous Negroes
discussed a place to play golf, and i've con-
cuded that Gillian park was the only place
where a golf course could be provided, but
it never materialized beyond the conclusion,
In the course of the conversation, it was
soon discovered that Amos Eve" meant Amo
himself.

Dr.. J. NJ. Robinson and The ANDA-

But to continue it would only serve as an
impeachment to the Negroes progress IN state
politics. Both major parties in Arkansas
have expressed willingness to accept Negro
es in full participation
Since the United States district court
told the Democratic party of Arkansas that
it must accept applications of Negroes for OIL
fees on the Democratic ticket it appears
that the continuation Of any segregated
organization would only be Negroes clamor-
ing for inferority in state politics.
In view of things where Negroes are al
ready accepted on various county Demo-
cratic com mi t tee, we feel that Ne
groes who want to establish themselves as
leaders in politics would urge the disband-
ing of the ANDA which automatically i'm
poses segregation on the Negro and file APP
plications for more Indignation in the regu-
lar Democratic organizations.
We reiterate, the ANDA under DR. Rob-
inson has served well, but today, its USEFUL
ness is ended,

ments to be hurled at him, it cannot detfact
the good work the Dr. Robinson has done
over the years in making Negroes vote con-
scious and placing them in position to par
ticipate in the political party where their
participation means something toward the
goal of frstclass citizenship. He fought for
the Negroes right to vote in the Democratic
party in former years when the mere men,
ton of Negro Democrat meant treason.
We feel while DR.. Robinson has indicat-
ed that he will give his resignation, he could
also serve a useful purpose for the future

the Arkansas Negro Democratic association
be disbanded as of now. 1t has served well.

Candidates Mixed
BY Robert Durr

It might have simplifed things lot il
Governor Stevenson were the COP nominee
and General Eisenhower the Democratic
nominee.
General Eisenhower looks like the candi-
date Of the Republican-Democratic coalition
which insofar as civil progress is concerned
is backward to say the least. The distin-
guished statesman of the South, John Tenn
pie Graves, H. has observed that even if you
left the matter of fair treatment to the
states nothing would be done about it. And
that most certainly the south does not look
with favor upon fair dealing even with or
without a law to make secure the divine,
natural and God given rights of those who
for all these years have suffered beyond the
power of any white man to understand.
have been amazed at hearing so many
of our politicians make bold to say: eve do
not believe in fair play We do not believe
in making secure the God given rights of all
men, Leave it to us who have not done any
thing for over two hundred years"
1t would seem that Mr. Eisenhower, as
of now, leans much too far in that direction
to be president of the United States unless he
is born again tWixt now and November 4th

Mr.. Stevenson by example has shown
that he believes in fair play. And that he is

People with little faith usually accom-
plish little. Those with no faith in themselves
or their fellow man can't expect much
from themselves or their felowman Those
who have no faith in Democracy will not do
much to try to make Democracy work.
The policy makers of our two major
political parties do not have much faith in
themselves, the American people, or Demo-
cracy. At least one might come to this con-
Clusion based on their stands on civil rights
This is indeed tragic.
The top brass Of our political parties
are informed men. They know of the great
struggle in which the world is now engaged,
They know that the political pendulum of
the world stands poised and ready to swing
in either direction. They know that Com
munism has gained many adherents in the
last few years. They know that the people
of Asia, Africa and Europe are trying to
see if we in the United States are buying
the Democracy we are trying to sell them.
Yet, when the top brass Of these parties have
a chance to tell the world, through their
platforms, how they stand on civil rights
which is a yardstick of Dcmocracy-thcy
muff the play,
The policy makers simply must not have
faith in our way of life. Perhaps they feel
that there is a swing toward conservatism
and eXpcdiency demands they follow the
swing. Whatever their reason, We know that
neither party took firm stand on civil
rights. They did not have faith in our
system of government and its people.

Horns and Dilemas-
BY l.. Baynard Whitney

The Republican and Democratic conven-
+ions seem to have produced all around dis
oyraement and dissatisfaction inside and
outside of both parties and among various
factions of Negroes, political and otherwise.
Both conventions were political rip snortors.
Regarding the Republicans platform,
Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon said it is
50 far behind the times it takes us back
10 the days of Mckinley. "They will have to
rewrite the whole platform" said the sena-
tor because they cannot stand on that
platform and win" He said the platform
does not match the candidates, since Zone
section of the party won the platform fight
