Alarmed home gardeners and
flower lovers on Second Av and
Third Av., in south Minneapolis
are worried at this years depre-
dations by the kids. Reports are
that the juveniles have been tear
ing up the gardens, flower beds
and the fruit trees of residents.
Some neighbors are up in arms
because the small fry also litter
the lawns of other people with
torn paper, cans and other rub
bish. Most damage, Bailee is told
can be traced to children Of par
ents who are both employed and
to some mothers who thoughtless-
ly or carelessly let their children
wander all over the area FOR
hours without knowing where they
are or what they are doing.
For fear some reader will think
this is a phenomena present only
in this neighborhood, readers may
recall that some of the worse
vandalism is in those areas of
upper middle class incomes where
mothers do not work outside the
home. Kids need some attention
and direction no matter where
they live.

agency heads strictly accoun-
table, establishing a Fair EN-

Service Commission to review
decisions and make recommen-
dations directly to the Presi-
dent"
In contrast, the Digest cites
these developments under the
Eisenhower Administration:
The CIO News of Oct. Is, 1854,
following a survey, reported:
"For every Negro appointed to
a government post, the Eisen-
hover Administration laid off
another 200 in the Washington
area alone"
The Administration draStical-
ly reserved the Democratic policy
of naming Negro leaders to i'm
portant Federal administrative,
diplomatic and judicial posts.
Mr.. Eisenhower completely
overlooked Negroes when filling
Federal judicial posts it was
not until the election year OF
1856 that he nominated his first
Negro to municipal judgeship
as a replacement for Demo-
cratic appointee Judge Scott"
DR.. Frank Horne, longtime
race relations adviser in the
Housing and Home Finance
Agency, twas ousted by the Eli
senhower = appointed Albert
Cole. Housing Administrator and
arch foe of public housing, and
replaced by Joseph Ray, a real
estate operator" According to
Charles Abrams, New YORK
State Rent Administrator, the
orders to- fire Horne and his
assistant, Corienne R. Morrow,
came from the Republican Ma
tional Committee.
In August of 1858, Eisenhower
revoked the 1851 Truman Ex-
ecutive Order creating the IL
member Committee on Govern
ment Compliance, which was
hailed as a milestone toward
the goal of equal opportunity.
Eisenhower hastily fired all
Democratic appointees familiar
with the problem, and eStab-
lished his own Government
Contract Committee, headed by
Vice President NiXon-who vot-
ed against an enforceable Fair
Employment Practices bill when
he was a member of the House
and again when he was a Sen
ator.
Eisenhower'S failure to fight
for a Federal Fair Employment
program has been accompanied
by a rise of Republican resis-
tance to such legislation in the
states. "In sharp contrast was
the fortnight stand of Eisen-
hower's predecessor, Harry Tru-
man." the Digest observes.

on a national level is in no small

mentS.
"In his official testimony be-
fore the Armed Services Com
mittee hearing on Universal
Military Training" the Digest
recalls, General Eisenhower, as
U. S. Army Chief of Staff, show
ed himself to be something less
than a champion of civil rights:
IF we attempt merely by
passing a lot of laws to force
someone to like someone else,'
he told the Committee, we are
just going to get into trouble"
According to the Digest's anal
ysis, a civil rights pamphlet is
sued by the Republican Ma
tional Committee is full of ia
bricationS. Among these fictions
is the claim that racial bars
were dropped officially" in
Washington under the Eisenho-
wer Administration.
"Since desegregation in Wash
ington restaurants is the result
of the Supreme Courts decision
in the case of District of Co
lumbia VS.. Thompson, this was
another attempt to politicalize
the Supreme Court, obviously
with the PreSideSt'S approval,
since he expressed satisfaction
with the COP pamphlet" De-
mocratic publication declares.
Moreover, the COP pamphlet
makes no mention of the devot-
ed efforts of civic and voluntary
groups that worked tirelessly to
bring the case to court, nor to
the fact that the case was ini-
tiated and argued before the
Supreme Court under a Demo-
cratic Administration, with two
0emocratic Attorneys General
lung briefs on behalf of desc
gregation."
Another fiction in the COP
pamphlet is that the Eisenho-
wer Administration has opened
up Federal job opportunities
formely closed because of dis
elimination. The records shows,
the Digest reports, thet "Civi
Service rules were amended in
1910 to include prohibition Of
discrimination because of race
and the use of photographs was
discontinued. In 1941, the first
national step against diScrimi-
n tory employment practices
was taken when President RooS-
velt issued an Executive Order
condemning employment discri-
mination in defense industries.
Further progress was recorded
following President Truman's
Executive Order forbidding dis
elimination in making tempo
rary Appointment by Federal es-
adjustments.
During the year 1948, when

ELECTION YEAR AFFECTS US ALL

This time Get Out the Vote"
campaigns swing into high gear
throughout the country. It's a
: rare citizen indeed who doesn't
read and hear that voting is
both a privilege and duty, in
cumbent upon us all.
This year a nationwide cam
paign to persuade people to vote
is under way-and it goes a
long step farther. The American
Heritage Foundation, aided by
some 130 cooperating organiza-
tionS representing groups as var
led as business executives, union
members, actors, lawyers and
many others, has come up with
this slogan: "Vote-But Don't
Vote in the Dark"
William Hard, writing IN The
Readers Digest, tells the story
under the striking title: "Reg-
lister! Inform Yourselves! Vote!"
And the big emphasis is on those
two words, Inform YourselveS!"
Anyone can mark an K on
ballot or pull the handle of
voting machine. But it takes
some extra effort to vote intel
ligently, with full knowledge of
just what the competing candi-
Gates stand for.
There is no doubt that 1nten.
Sive campaigns such as the
American Heritage Foundation
is conducting do bring out the
vote. The Foundation waged it's
first national campaign in 1852,
and 63 per cent of eligible voters
made their choices known, as
against 81 per cent in 1948. In
1854 the Foundation was busy
with other matters and did not
conduct a campaign-and the
percentage dropped to So per
cent.
Mr.. Hard observes that COM
pulSorye voting laws are some
times urged for this country. In
countries where failure to vote
brings fine-Belgium and Aus
tralia- the turnout cuStomarily
runs around 95 per cent. But
it is obvious that forcing a man
to vote does not and cannot
make him an informed or
thoughtful voter. Also, as Mr..
Hard writes, Legislation to
compel the exercise of liberty
is a denial of liberty"
Moreover, Europe teaches us
that compulsion is not neces-
Sary. In recent elections in a
lengthy list of non-compulsion
countries the turnout ranged
from IT per cent in Britain to
an amazing 96 per cent in Aus
tria. AS General Gruenther, head
of NATO, wrote the Foundation:
Although I never cease to be
proud of being an American, I
have been impressed during my
five years in Europe by the high
percentage of Europeans who go
to the polls to vote. Their record
is better than ours in this all
important matter of individual
participation in government"
From now until election day
you will be bombarded with ap-
peals to vote-even loudspeak-
erS at scores of ballparkS will
broadcast the message.
Finally, Mr.. Hard observes
that our responsibility as a
gre t. world leader demands
"that we must read, we must
listen, we must study, we must
think-and then say at polls
what kind of country and what
kind of world we want"
