The campaign for an esti-
mated 4 million Negro votes in
the North and border States is
increasing in tempo as the
date of the national election
draws nearer. These votes are
distributed through a con-
siderable number of States
and in some of the States the
Negro voters may well hold the
balance Of power. Wrapped up
in the drive for the Negro vote
will be the civil rights planks
written into the respective
platforms of the Republican
and Democratic Parties. Also,
in the same package will be
the attitudes of the presi-
dental nominees toward the
Negro problem.
So far as the Republican
Party is concerned, the
Negroes, as well as the rest of
the country, know who will be
the G. o. P. nominee for Presi-
dent. The Republicans are
confident that the Negroes will
approve the record the Presi-
dent has made on the matter
of civil rights and better
and fairer treatment of their
race. He has almost COM
pletely abolished discrimina-
ton in the armed forces
throughout the Nation. He
has insisted upon desegrega-
ton in Washington, the Ma
TONS Capital. He has APP
pointed many Negroes to i'm
portant Federal offices. While
the President had nothing to
do with the decision of the Su-
preme Court which holds I'M
constitutional segregated
public schools-that decision
occurred during his admins
tration. Indeed, in the three
years of the Eisenhower adj
ministration, the Negroes have
made many advances toward
impartial treatment.
Democrats Have Strong Hold
On the face of the record,
President Eisenhower should
have the support of a large
percentage of the Negro vote.
However, since the days of
President Franklin D. RooSe-
welt. the Negro vote has been
Democratic in large part. Mr..
Roosevelt won the Negro to
him in the days of the great
depression. when thousands Of
them were placed on Federal
relief rolls. Further, Mrs. Flea
nor Roosevelt, the Presidents
widow. by her own treatment
and association with Negroes,
whom she welcomed in the
White House. helped to solidify
the Democratic grasp on the
Negro vote.
Whether the Negro vote will
shift next November to Eisen-
hover in large part depends on
the appeal the G. o. P. makes.
There is no question that
Democrats are genuinely
alarmed over the possibility
or even probability - they
may lose a large slice of
this vote which they have con-
sidered their own for a score
Of years. The very fact that
the chief resistance to deseg-
regation is strongest in Demo-

Artists Brushed Oft
Edward Russell.

There have been several
letters commenting upon the
plight Of the poor artist, but
not one writer offered a solu-
ton Of the problem of how an
artist could eat his cake and
also have ham and eggs.
The question of modern YER
sus academic art is irrelevant,
since there are good artists in
both camps, and quality has
nothing to do with isms.
Largely. the problem is one of
education. Robotlike, the pub
lie follows prevailing concepts
of how people live. MasS-fed
culture by radio, movies and
T'V. the public wrongly be-
lieves that artists can live
cheaper than other people and
prefer to starve in attics than
earn three square meals a day.
By the same strange reason
ing. a person who inheritS a
million dollars and doesn't
work is called a patron of the
arts" An artist with ability
unable to find work is called a
bum!
A simple solution: Amer
leans should buy more original
works of art, show more
knowledge and support of art
work done in their commu-
mites. and be willing to pay a
fair price for such work. Ger
tainly, after spending from
three to six years to perfect
skills. artists deserve a pay
scale equal to that of journey
men carpenters. plumbers or
bricklayers. In the final analy-
sis. we are all laborers of one
kind or another, whether we
wear smocks, getaways or
overallS.
Artists enrich the world we
live in. Governments, in peace
and war. have employed art
lists to decorate buildings and
record our progress or decline.
Our homes, Offices, schools,
factories. cars, planes, ships,
clothes. books. films and thea
tiers depend upon artists for
design and beauty. Why, then,
public failure to support art
and artists?
Is it because, as a Nation
interested only in material
things. we have become slaves
of the machine? Wouldn't our
juvenile delinquents be less if
some of them took a stroll
through a museum or hike
along the canal, instead of
getting hoped up from REFERS
or plotting a neighborhood
stickup? There is nothing
sissy in art. 1t takes just as
much muscle and brain work
to paint a picture as it does
to slug ten rounds in the ring.
One Of the best artists I
know served in both world
wars, from Chateau-Thierry
to Bougainville, as a soldier
and painter.
Perhaps the fault lies in the
individualism Of artists sulk-
ing in their studios like petu-
liant children, dreaming Of a
utopia that will never come
without group effort and or
ganization? Unfor tunately,
artists and the public have
this in common: They both
prefer to let someone else do
the heavy thinking. And we all
get sold down the river--for a
farthing.

Anyone who drives a car must sometimes
drive in crawling, slow-moving traffic where
its stop-and-go or Spurt-and-slow
And if you're used to a car that handles
such traffic with a continuous series of
upshifts and downshifts-even automatically
then maybe you think that's the best you
can have.
But it isn't. You can have DynafotU smooth
