BEST INSURANCE YEAR

The best year in history for
most insurance companies was
1855, reports the 1856 Yearbook
Of The American Peoples En-
cyclopedia. Premiums paid by
about 103 million policyholders
reached $40 billion. Americans
purchased $47.4 billion worth of
life insurance, nearly So billion
more than in 1854. The average
amount of life insurance per
policyholder was about $4,000.
For accident and health protec-
ton, Americans paid close to So
billion last year.

Open Letter To Okemah And
East Broadway Citizens

Better Late Than Never.
This appears to be the slogan
of the supervisor of District No.
/ when it comes to dealing with
Okemah. Is this Eleventh hour
movement which is carried on
out there just before election
time, a means of fooling the
voters to obtain their continuous
support?
In the past, the supervisors
of District have received 80
percent of the votes in your
community but have given very
little in return. Namely our
streets, which receive very little
attention until near election
time, then they are graded and
sprinkled.
Our children are unprotected
while crossing the streets be-
cause of the lack of proper set
speed regulation signs in our
residential section. Some drivers

will always remain unless we
register and vote collectively for
the man who will give action
instead of promises. Last years
statistics showed that out of ap-
proximately 2100 people, only
387 voted. This is the direct
cause of the sad plight of Oke-
nah and it's surroundings.
There is only one means by
which this condition can be
rectified that is by every citizens
registering and voting for men
who will give us something in

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

To the Editor of The. \
Arizona Sun:
I particularly wanted to call
your attention in advance to
an important new series which
LIFE will undertake in the next
two weeks.
Not in recent times has any
issue so divided the u. S. peo-
pie as has the Supreme Courts
historic decision on segregation.
Because LIFE's editors believe
that a true reconciliation of
views will come only from ex-
change of informal arguments,
founded in fact and framed in
reason, LIFE will present in
its September 3 issue the first
of a Six-part series of illustrated
essays on segregation.
In this series, in forcefull
paintings and in bold photo
graphs, LIFE will draw a real
iStic picture of Negr6-white re-
lationS in the u. S. from the
days of the slave ships to the
present. You will see the Negro
in the slave marts of the Afric-
an Gold Coast and of Charles
ton. You will retrace the tur-
bulent history of the Negro
through his Civil War days, his
emancipation, his life under Jim
Crow and his haraSSment by
the Klan, his new status under
law.
LIFE will picture the varied
ranks of Negroes in the South
today-the college professor, the
housewife, the mechanic, the
farmer-to show the pattern of
their lives in a segregated So
ciety.
And LIFE will show white men
at many levels of Southern
society, to document the way Of
life which the court has chal-
lenged and which so much Of
the South still staunchly de-
fends. The moral issues involved
will be analyzed and the roles
of the church and religion ap-
praised.
This series will be no tract.
The EDITORS purpose is to in
form, not persuade. Whatever
degree of passion or conviction
you bring to LIFE's series, I
hope you will take away from
LIF'E's pages, a broader, more
incisive knowledge of the suject
"a subject which you and I
and the entire natoin will be
debating for many months in
the future.

Fucinq The Facts
BY w. A. Robinson

date is concerned. So also did
the cool reception of the protest
of Gov. Marv Griffin of Georgia
by the convention.
The battle for the nomination
Of vice president still further
supplemented the intention of
the Democratic Party regarding
Civil Rights. Senator John Ken
nedy of Massachusetts, for some
remote reason, perhaps because
of the strong support of the
majority platform statement by
Representative John Mccormack
of Massachusetts,, was given the
almost solid support of the Sc
gregation South. Senator Ken
nedy was a strong contender
for the nomination for many
reasons but his espouSal by the
South unfortunately and per-
hapS mistakenly, connected his
nomination with a weak Party
stand on civil rights and lost
for him whatever advantage he
had. The stand of Senator Ke--
fauver on Civil Rights has long
been known from his own state
ments to be unequivocal.
The ''love feast" after the vice
presidential nomination in which
many SouthernerS including Gov.
Hodge of North Carolina took
part, rather indicated that only
the most unregenerate, segrega-
ton states like Georgia, South
Carolina, and Mississippi may
go their lonesome way.
The Republican pla t f rm
statement on CIR is considered
by most news commentators to
be almost identical with and
perhaps a shade" stronger than
the Democratic plank. Assured
statements by Southern dele
gates to San Francisco that they
have nothing to worry about
make one wonder why they are
so assured.
Whatever may be the
strengths or weaknesses in the
two-party platforms, real demo-
cracy is on the march in Amer
lea and nothing can stop it.
Negroes themselves are now
prepared politically, economical
ly, and Intellectually to give
stranght and conviction to the
crusade. There is no question,
Negroes are seeking rights not
just for themselves but for all
disadvantaged people in Amer
lea and in the world.
Arizona sun., 1956-08-23

There is no doubt that the
Civil Rights plank in the 1856
Democratic Party platform is
strong plank-the strongest re-
cognition of the rights of all
Americans since Lincoln's Eman-
cipation Proclamation. 1t is
amazing how much stronger it
is than the Civil Rights plank
in the 1852 Democratic Party
platform, which drove several
states Of the Deep" South to
become DixiecratS and to desert
the Democratic Party. Any weak
ness of the 1856 CIR plank is
certainly not in contrast with
earlier party planks considered
overpoweringly strong at the
time.
The dramatic fight for that
1852 CIR plank had the effect
of proving that there was a
determined resolution alive in
political sentiment in the nation
to wipe from the nations con-
science the blot that dimmed
our national idealism for demo-
cracy. In the four years since
the 1852 convention, far more
has been achieved than the
most sincere and hopeful cru
SaderS for a democratic world
could have conceived possible
in a short four years. The fact
that a Republican adminiStra-
tion has been in Washington
during this period of achieve
ment, gives the Republican Par
ty claim to but little more than
a hesitant "going along" with
the aggressive sentiment of for
mer Democratic administrations.
Negroes fighting for first class
citizenship, and for a nation so
motivated by real democratic
ideals that it can give leader
ship to a world of varied peoples,
may have wished for a more
direct expression of the party'S
intentions, but they know the
CIR plank adopted by the 1856
National Democratic Convention
is far clearer than the foes of
Civil Rights expected to have
to accept. Negroes know also
that the fact that the segrega-
ton extremists accepted the CIR
plank of the Party, to the extent
of not again Immediately turn
ing their backs on the Party
means that even the strongest
foes of civil rights are convinced
that Americas growing senti-
ments for equality of all citizens
cannot be slowed by sorry tricks
and even sorrier arguments and
behavior.
The fact that men like Sen
ator Lehman of New York and
Congressman Dawson of Illinois
in their seconding speeches for
Adlai Stevenson, committed the
candidate to a strong stand for
democratic idealism-quite prob
ably with his consent, somewhat
clarifies the real meaning of the
CIR plank SO far as the candi-
