The Political
Spotlight
By WADE HI. HAMMOND

The ANTT-LYNCHING BILL
that has been in the congress for
many years is simply proposal to
punish individuals and /or states
that substitute lynching and MUIR
der of Negroes accused of crimes
offensive to a strong minority Of
Southerners, for trial by jury.
Trial by jury is a Constitutional
right and not a mere platitude.
States Rights are also written into
the Constitution but were never
intended to be used as a screen
behind which lynching, murder
and abuses of citizens are to be
committed, condoned or tolerated.
States, like individuals, have rights
AND RESPONSIBILITIES. The
protection of the rights of it's cit
izens regardless of race, color or
creed is not the least of these re-
sponSibilitieS. And when states re-
fuse to accept this responsibility it
is necessary for the Federal gov
ernment to move in if America is
not to be governed by a powerful
minority of Southerners. Congress
man John Murdock's record on
EVERY PROPOSAL for the bene-
fit of Negroes is an insult to our
intelligence and self respect. Muir
dock has voted almost regularly
AGAINST the Poll Tax proposal.
He has opposed the Anti-Lynching
proposal as well as FEPC, despite
the fact that Arizona has no record
Of lynchings nor do we pay a Poll
Tax for the right to vote. Mr..
Murdoch could have consistently
supported both of these proposals,
neither being Objectionable to the

COP Planning Strategy In Drive
To Win Neqro Vote In November

Springfield, ILL.,, (Global.-Promi-
nent among the top COP consul
tants invited to map Republican
strategy with party leaders during
Senator Richard Nixon's recent
visit to Springfield were William
H. Robinson, J. Horace Gardner,
Senator Everett Dirksen, Attorney
Benjamin H. Crockett and 1t. Col.
Euclid Louis Taylor.
The Republican e-presidential
candidate and William C. Stratton,
candidate for Governor, talked for
more than an hour with them in
NiXon's room at the Abraham Lin
coin Hotel and expressed complete
agreement with the strategy they
laid down on the basis of their eX-
perience and leadership.
Robinson is vice-chairman of the
Illinois Republican State Central
Committee-the first Negro to hold
such a position in 20 years-and is
president of the second Ward Regu-
lar Republican Organization. Gard
ner is Republican Ward committee
man of the 10th Ward and Taylor
is chairman of the Executive COM
mittee of the Goth Ward Regular
Republican Organization and gen.
eral counsel for the Chicago De-
fender, weekly newspaper.
"There is no question that the
election of Eisenhower and Nixon
will insure a great victory for the
cause of equal citizenship through
out the land" said Robinson. "Simi-
iarly, election of Stratton as Gov
ernor will determine the course of
this same cause in Illinois. I know
that we can bring this message
clearly and convincing1y to all the
people and they will respond with
an overwhelming victory for the
entire Republican ticket in Novem-
ber."
Gardner, equally confident Of
success in the coming election, said
1--WE talked frankly and without
equivocation on the issues which
will be decided in the November
election. We were impressed with
the sincere and honest stand pre-
sented by Nixon and Startton. 1t
will be our job to bring this mes
sage to the people during the cam
paign and we Will do it with COM
plete confidence in the victorious
outcome"
This meeting indicates that Re-
publican party intends to make a
determined bid to regain the Negro
vote. This is in direct contradiction
to the often repeated statement
that the Republican party has
written off the Negro vote and has
conceded it to the opposition.
In several states, notably Illinois,
Ohio and California, which the Re-
publican party lost in 1948, the
margin was quite small. In Cali
fornia, for example, where the Re-

publicans lost by less than $4,000
votes, the eligible Negro vote is
more than 265,0OO. In Illinois,
where the COP lost by $4,000, the
Negro vote is more than 81 1000,
and in Ohio where the Party lost
by 7,107 votes, the Negro vote is
more than 295,000.

people of Arizona whom he is sup
posed to represent. His negative
vote on these measures can be in
terpreted as reflecting his personal
racial bias. This Interpretation is
hardly questionable inaSmuch as
Murdock, as Democrat, repudiat-
ed his Party's platform when he
voted against these so called Civil
Rights measures. Only uninform-
ed or stupid Negroes will vote to
return Murdock to congress. Yet
there is always the possibility of
few Negroes voting for him.
Candidate RALPH WATKINS
promises to forthrightly support
the Democratic Platform in , its
specific reference to citizenship
rights for ALL AMERICANS re-
gardless of race, creed or color. He
believes that every citizen should
have the opportunity for fair and
impartial employment. Ralph Wat
kins will not repudiate his party's
platform. That means he will not
vote against our interests; and
that he is worthy of our support.

LITTLE SPORT
By (3eoroe, Hubefs

Frank Parsons, jr.. Of Washing
ton has been "hipped" on the SUBJ
|ject OF rifle shooting since he was
la kid. Thirty years Of banging
away at targets here and abroad
has won for him many honors.
but none pleases him rnore-or Is
more indicative Of the place he
holds among the country's rifle
|men-than his recent appointment
las captain Of the United States
olympic rifle and pistol squad.
Parsons himself was 4 shooting
member Of the Olympic squad in
1948 to cap q competitive career
that started In the early l020s on
the rifle team at Eastern High
School. In between he hit such
other high spots as the national

1927, the national championship

United States team that won the
world championship in 1880.

considered practically a cinch to
make the trip again. The same
|goes for Walter Walsh. the pistol

went to the 1948 Olympics.
Worlds Finest Sport.
AS far as Parsons in concerned,
rifle shooting is the finest sport
lin the world, and he admits he has
spent more time and money on
lit than ! can recall. But every
minute and every penny has been
worthwhile"
It isn't hard for Parsons to
explain the lure Of target shooting.
"It's the same as any activity or
sport in which you try to excel or
do q little better than any one else.
It's q great game for learning con-
centration. coordination and self
control. Anybody can do it, al
