ord is finally appraised, it can be
said without contradiction that
there has been no objective to which
the President and his Administra-
ton have been more dedicated, no
goal toward which greater progress
has been made, and no more sig
nificant contribution to the nation
than the realization of the Amer
lean dream of providing equal OPP
portunity for all of our citizens,
regardless of race, creed, or color.
More progress has been made to-
ward this goal in the past two and
a half years than in any similar pc
riod since 1866"
The Vice President cited the
work of the Presidents Committee
on Federal Employment and on
Government Contracts, the aban-
donment of discrimination in res
taurants, schools, hotels and the
aires in the District of Columbia,
and the rapidity with which the
last vestige of discrimination and
prejudice is being removed from
the Armed Services, as among the
most outstanding accomplishments
of the administration.
He further pointed out that Ne
groes have access to the President
through personal contact in both
his office and his home on the
same basis as other citizens, and
that sit is no longer news when
Negroes are invited to lunch or
dinner at the White House with
the President"
Mr.. Nixon said he believes the
major reasons for success in these
areas are: 1. eve have not set i'm
possible goals. Rather than advo-
eating laws we know would not be
passed, we have carried out the
spirit and the letter of the laws
we already had;" g the desegrega-
ton issue has not been made a
partisan political football; 3. the
recognition that in the long run
education and persuasion rather
than compulsion are the most eff
fective weapons in dealing with
this problem at the national level
4. the statesmanilke attitude of the
great majority of responsible Ne
gro leaders; 5. "most important of
all, the President has given his un-
qualified moral support to the great
objective of guaranteeing full cit
izenship to all Americans, regard
less of race, creed, or color"
Mr.. Nixon concluded: eff this
,ause continues to have that kind

Operation ALERT" PROVED
PUBLIC APATHY TO A-ATTACk

| According to press reports anc
official statements, some of the
critical issues on which further
thought and action must be taken
are the following:
1. Shortage of Civil Defense Per-
sonnet and Equipment. America
has starved her civil defense estab-
lishment. The Nation needs moro
trained civil defense officials, to
gether with additional specialized
equipment. For this, additional ap,
preparations from Congress will be
necessary.
2. Better Preparation by Govern
ment. While some Government de-
partments seem to have done a
good job, others obviously were
poorly prepared. In addition, the
Presidents declaration of mar
tial law" raises a number Of spe-
cial problems if it is to be utilized
in a real emergency. In many
cases, actions which must be taken
after attack involve questions
which military departments are not
accustomed to handle. 1t might be
far better if the regular civilian
agencies Of the Government were
directed to handle these issues
while the military forces were
utilized only if necessary.
8. The "Fall-Out" Problem. Some
observers have contended that the
entire Operation Alert is obso-
lete because it did not take suffi-
cient account of radioactive fall
out. This is a subject on which the
American people are awaiting more
definite word from Government of
ficials who have been too reticent
in their handling of this critical
issue.
These points are, however, but
minor defects compared with one
major overriding obstacle to sue
cessful civil defense-the present
apathy of the American public.
The average American has been
content to shrug his shoulders at
the entire question of a surprise
atomic attack. Not subject to
bombing during World War II,
Americans either believe the U. S.
still immune from attack or feel
that no defense is possible against
modern weapons. Yet, civil de-
Tense officials emphasize that ade-
quate preparation can make real
difference in the effects of even a
heavy atomic attack.
! One cause of this public apathy
has been the "hush-hush" policy of
! the y. S. Government. Public Off
Gals have been too reluctant to
tell the American people the truth
about atomic developments. A
more clearcut policy on information
is needed from both the Depart
ment of Defense and the Atomic
! Energy Commission.
One thing is certain. America is
! facing a determined enemy. De-
spite it's present peaceful gestures,

Justice Lestang said the boys

Mau hideout while out pigeon
shooting. He accepted the testi-
mony of the alleged women &C

did the actual killing, but he con-
sidered the two women just as
guilty.
He dismissed contentious by all
twelve defendants that confessions
alleged to have been made to the
police were extracted by violence.
He commended the. police for the

would permit, he would like to
spend little time in the commun-
ity getting acquainted with it's
people. He arrived in New York
Friday morning. spoke at a lunch
con meeting, and left there immed-
lately to check into his suite in
the Theresa Hotel.
In the afternoon, the Vice Presi-
dent left the hotel, accompanied by
julius ]. Adams, President of Clio
bal, and Miss Lou LuTour, Global's
Associate Director, simply to walk
through the Harlem streets and
visit few of the institutions owned
and controlled by Negroes. The
intention was to visit Victory Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company, Car
yer Federal Savings and Loan AS
ISOLATION, the New York Age De-
fender, the New York Amsterdam
News, the Schomberg Collection of
Negro literature at the 136th
Street Library, the YMCA, the
YWCA, some of the community's
churches, and few of the housing
projects. After making two or
three impromptu visits, and chat
ting with employees and startled
passersby in the streets, heavy
rains suddenly interrupted the tour,
and the Secret Service Police were
unwilling to expose their charge
to the elements any longer. The
rest of the tour was cancelled, and
the Vice President expressed his re-
grets and said he hoped he would
be able to complete it the next
! time he came. Returning to his
suite in the Theresa, the Vice Pres
ident had snack and turned in
to catch $40 winks" before the re-
ception held in his honor, preced-
ing the dinner.

lastic capacity audience at the

Sen. Barley added, however that
he did not fear enemies within. p
1'm not afraid that the squea
of few rats will undermine the
foundation of our American De-
mocracy," he said.
Warning of threats from other
nations, the Senator said: "they
recognize no religion except to de-
stroy it, freedom except to sup
press it, or initiative except to
stifle it."
But, he declared "They shall
not carry out their diabolical desire
to conquer the world and rule
mankind"
Sen. Barley also expressed hope
there would be a meeting of the
minds in the Forthcoming Big -Four
Conclave in Geneva.

At the emergency press center
established for the recent Civil
Defense exercise, Operation Alert,
1885," newspaper wag character
lied the proceeding as Everything
simulated except the confusion"
Yet, benath the seeming scat
terbrained chaos that prevailed for
three days while Civil Defense and
other Government officials pre-
tended the u. S. had sustained a
heavy bombing attack, an air Of
grim reality prevailed. For this
was the largest, most comprehen-
sive exercise this Nation had I'M
dertaken to test the ability of it's
Government to function in tn e
event of an enemy attack.
Shows Up Defects
The exercises began shortly after
noon June Is when an alert was
sounded marking an enemy attack.
All major Government departments
in Washington began to scatter to
about 80 relocation centers any
where up to 80 miles from the city.
During the next few hours, over
60 cities were chalked up as
bombed targets on the Civil De-
tense score card.
For the next two days, the Gov
eminent departments tested their
ability to carry on under attack
conditions. Officials tried to de-
eide what would have to be done
about such problems as maintain
ing law and order, restoring dam
aged production facilities, allocat-
ing reduced supplies of medicine
and drugs, moving families back
to their homes, recruiting sufficient
manpower to meet civil defense and
urgent production needs, and sta
bilizing wages, prices and credit.
The test was proved a success,
not because the Government was
really prepared to handle such an
emergency but because the exer-
cises showed up the major defects
IN the present planning.
