material that comes out of the
senator's office
There is terrific loyalty TO
Humphrey by his staff and King
stated:
you couldn't find a better boss
than Humphrey and working for
him is interesting and a lot OF
fun"
Humphrey and his staff have
earned a reputation in the capitol
for turning out terrific amount
OF work.
Mrs Barbee acts as a iiaison
between the senator and his con-
stituents and whatever branch OF
the government they may have
dealings with.
For example, II person Is hav-
ing trouble getting a visa, it's
Mrs Barbee's job 10 give that per-
son any assistance that may be
needed and follow II through UNI
Ill its final disposition.
One OF the first things most
politicians do when thep appoint
Negroes TO key positions is to call
press conference and make a lot
OF fanfare about the appointments.
In Sen. Humphreys case. just
the opposite happened, King and
Mrs. Barbee had been ON the staff
for a long time before the press
discovered they were on his staff.
King said that this was another
instance OF the senator's firm be-
lief In the principles OF FEPc and
that he didn't try to capitalize on
their appointments.

gro areas with word of the Eisen-
hover Administration efforts in
behalf of Negro civil rights. Re-
publicans have high hopes this
campaign will shift a sizeable per-
centage of the Negro vote into the
COP column on November 2.
Democrats insist il won't turn
out that way. In fact, they claim
they may even gain strength a
mong Negro voters because Ne
groes are especially hard hit by
any economic downturn. Demo-
cratic Party strategists figure
pocketbook problems will weigh
heavier with most Negro voters
than the Eisenhower civil rights
record.
A Tentative Answer
Until after the voting, it's i'm
possible to tell for sure who's
right. But talks with hundreds of
Negro voters in major cities a.
cross the country suggest a tenta-
tive answer: COP claims to the
contrary the bulk of Negro voters
will likely go Democratic this
year, as they have since the early
days of the New Deal. Here are
some typical comments, from a
sampling of Negro voting senti-
ment in such cities as New York,
Baltimore, Detroit, Cleveland.
Boston and Evansville:
'1m going to vote to get some
prosperity back, says Mack
House, New York City bartender
who in 1852 voted the straight
COP ticket, but this year will go
down the line for the Democrats
Il wanted change last time, but
that was one helluva change we
got. Business has been lousy for
the last year"
Louis Burgess, a warehouseman
at the Sparrows Point shipyards
in Maryland, will make the same
vote switch. I've been out of work
since June" he declares. That will
tell you how I'm going to vote"
He says he thinks President Essen
hover means well, but the men
around him don't seem to know
what to do or to care about econ
omic conditions"
Among Negro Democrats who
haven't switched their votes for
years, and won't this year. the rea-
son most often given is times are
better under the Democrats or
its the poor mans party" Says
a laborer in a Boston rendering
plant: The big fellows at the
plant are all Republicans so nat
urally US little fellows are Demo-
cratic"

Walters View

Godfrey Lawrence. a New York
City restaurant waiter, who has
always voted Democratic in the
past is inclining Republican now
because Of the good things the
Administration has done not Just
for the Negro people, but for
everyone. Like ending the war and
not spending so much money"
Mostly, however. Negroes in
tending to vote Republican this
year are the ones who have ira
ditionally voted Republican. More
over, the clearest sign is that
switches 10 the Democratic COL
umns far outnumber the switches
away from them.
Leaders in both political parties
agree that slightly more than two
million Negroes vote in the u s.
outside the solid South. They also
agree that close 10 three out OF
every four in major cities have
been voting Democratic in recent
years. Democrats also command
substantial majorities among Ne
groes in small cities and towns.
Political historians figure most
Negroes deserted the COP in the
depression days Of the Hoover Ad-
rninlstration. and have been kept
solidly In the Democratic column
ever since by the economic and
social programs Of the New and
Fair Deals.
