Louisiana Beats
plan Aimed 10
Cut Negro Vote

BATON ROUGE, La, Nov. IS
R.-Louisiana voters defeated a
proposed constitutional amend
ment designed to help White
Citizens Councils trim Negro
voting. but approved another
proposal aimed at slowing school
indignation lawsuits, complete
returns showed yesterday.
Both measures were drafted
by the legislative watch dog
Committee on Segregation,
which previously has won lop-
sided approval for it's proposals
Final but unofficial returns
from the Secretary of States
Office gave Amendment AZ, set
ting up a new procedure for
handling appeal of persons de-
MED vote registration, a 190,410
to 1883 unfavorable vote.
The other amendment. No. 48,
withdrawing State approval for
suits against a number of State
agencies such as school boards
and recreation commissions, was
approved by a 233,015 margin.
1t was designed to block future
indignation lawsuits against par
ish school systems and recreation
departments by requiring approx
al of the legislature for such
suits.
The first proposal grew out OF
Ia drive against Negro vote regis
tration before the election. In
more than a dozen parishes
(counties 81, pro segregation
groups have challenged some
Negro voters, forcing them to
prove they were properly regis
tered.
The amendment would have
provided two administrative
steps before the voter losing his
registration could take the mat
ter into court. setting up admin
istrative barriers to a Federal
court action.
The returns also showed voters
rejected Gov. Earl Longs pro-
posed 1857 constitutional con-
vention nearly six to one.

coupled with reelection Of q
Democratic Congress,
he offered this appraisal:
From my viewpoint the
United States has not yet been
convinced that modern Repub-
licanism is with US and is going
to be the guiding philosophy Of
the Republican Party.
Senator Mansfield, Democrat
Of Montana. told a reporter
today "the President is correct
in that statement"
"What the electorate did," said
Senator Mansfield, twas to give
a big vote of confidence to the
prestige and popularity Of the
President, and at the same time
vote for a strong national party
the Democratic Party.
II don't think the people voted
for the Republican program pre-
sented by the President. II they
had done so, it would have helped
Republican candidates for Con-
greSs."
In Liberal Wing
Both Senator Case and Sem
ator Aiken are considered in the
liberal wing Of the G. o. p. The
Vermont Senator said he had
been espousing modern Republic
canism for 20 years.
Senator Case said one name
for the Eisenhower program is
moderate progressivism."
He insisted that the election
showed that his (Mr. Eisenhow-
er's) philosophy is more popular
by far than any other before
the American people,"
Nov that the election is over"
he went on, "it is up to those Of
us who have long subscribed to
the modern Republicanism Of
President Eisenhower to develop
and push forward with the pro-
grams which will bring these
works to real accomplishment.

Mandate Seen
Mr.. Eisenhower discussed
modern republicanism at his
first post-election news confer
ence yesterday. He said he con-
sidered that he now has some
thing of a mandate to work
"industriously and inceSsantly''
for his principles and program
Modern Republicanism, Mr..
Eisenhower said, lis a type Of
political philosophy that recog-
nizeS clearly the responsibility
of the Federal Government to
take the lead in making certain
that the productivity of our
great economic machine is dis
tributed so that no one will
suffer disaster, privation through
no fault Of his own" He linked
his program to that idea, along
with preservation of the free
enterprise system.
Mr.. Eisenhower appeared to
back down somewhat. however,
from his assertion just after his
November 6 triumph that he
believed the result represented
a victory for modern Repub-
licaIiSm.

PUBLIC TASTE CHANGES

Our tastes in food change, as
some factual information from
the American Meat Institute
indicates. It shows which meats
have gained in consumption
since the 1859 period and
which have lost ground. Beef
made the best showing by far
with rise of 81 per cent in
per capita consumption. Pork
and veal also gained in popu-
larity, by 10 per cent and IL per
cent respectively. On the other
side of the ledger, lamb and
mutton fell off by "a per cent.
The character of the livestock
from which our meat comes also
changes-and for the better. A
good example here is found in
the heavily increased demand
for lean, "meat-type" hogs, as
against the exceedingly heavy
specimens.
Then, for no known reason,

Facing II he Facts
BY w. A. Robinson

On Thursday, Sept. 26, the dai-
ly press carried the story of the
Republican Party's 1856 plat
form and quoted the following
from that document: "The Re-
publican Party has not and (sic)
will not mislead, exploit, or con-
fuse minority groups for po-
litical purposes" Also call Amer
can Citizens are entitled to full,
impartial protection under the
law"
I think we should assure the
Arizona Republican organiza-
ton that their concern about
our being confused is entirely
needless. We are not confused
and we do not intend to be
exploited by either party. We
can't prevent some of the plenti-
full Republican money from flow
ing into pockets of some ex-
ploitable Negroes, but we assure
the Party that these Negroes
can do them no good and it is
the Party and not Negroes be-
ing exploited.
We interpret the Arizona G.
q p statement to mean that
the promise of the Arizona
Democratic Party in it's 1856
platform ito recommend legls-
lation declaring public policy in
Arizona against discrimination
in places of public accomoda-
tion", is an empty and mean
ingless gesture.
What the Republicans do not
know is that this is what Demo-
cratic Negroes asked for. We
did not ask for strong legisla-
ton now, because at this time
Arizona, because of strong dis
elimination sentiment, INDUCED
in quite as much by bigoted
Republicans as by bigoted Demo-
Gratis, is hardly ready for an
anti-discrimination law with
teeth.
In the last decade discrimina-
ton sentiment has lost much
ground. We still have enough

their oppressed brothers. Such
solidarity among working people
is inspiring and should be emu
lated by everyone.
And finally, I want to say,
that this fight above all else
is a political struggle. To win it,
labor must stop searching
among capitalist parties for

1t is quite evident that we
need some education for Excep-

there were no places for
Negro delegates to stay except,
in Negro homes, Negroes hope
to get this sort of disgraceful

We know that we cannot now

a start in that direction.
Arizona is rapidly becoming

The Democratic Party merely
pledges to declare diScrimina--

good faith. Some day, perhaps,
the Arizona Republican Party
