By BURTON HAWKINS

the campaign. have shown signs
Of becoming more irritating in
the late going. In the opener
of a three-game series with the
White Sox tonight at Griffith
Stadium they'll attempt to in
f1ict grief on the only club
which is giving the Yankees a
struggle for the pennant.
Washington took its All-Star
Game vacation with a six
game losing streak. walloped in
IA Of its last IL games. Since
returning to action after that
midsummer spectacle, the Sen
ators have won 10 of 10, missing
a chance to desert the basement
by dropping a double header
to Kansas City Sunday.
Kemmerer Helps
It's been a more interesting
club and helping to make it so
has been Russ Kemmerer, Siz-
able highlander obtained from
the Red Sox. When he takes
the mound tonight he will be
shooting for his fourth straight
win.
The White Sox, who BANKED
the Orioles last night to pull
within three games of the
Yankees, will start Dick Dono-
van (10-3).
Kemmerer has performed a
flip-flop since the All-Star
Game. In three starting jobs
and two relief appearances he
can display 2.34 earned-run
average. providing welcome
bolstering for q pitching staff
which had sagged badly.
All by himself. Kemmerer has
made the swap with Boston ap-
pear delightful from the Sena-
tors viewpoint. To obtain him,
along with Milt Boiling and
Faye Throneberry. the Senators
gave up Dean Stone and Bob
Chakales. There has been no
moaning here, for Stone and
Chakales show q combined lis
record with the Red Sox.
Goes 10 Against Tribe
The 25-year-old Kemmerer
has whipped Kansas City. 1913,
Detroit. 4-3. and Cleveland, 80,
since the All-Star Game. In
his last outing, against the In

Rights Bill and the Neqro Ballot

the country was 80 per cent
Republican in 1852 and 43
per cent Republican in 1856.
The reason the percentages
for the Republicans among
the lower-income Negro vot-
ers are below the lower-in-
come group in the Nation as
a whole is because a higher
proportion Of individuals with
lower incomes is to be found
among Negroes than among
whites. There is still a feel
ing, moreover, among Negro
voters that the New Deal was
an economic emancipation for
them. The WPA, for instance,
and the vast relief appropria-
tons happened to do more
for the Negroes than for any
other single group.
Back in 1896, this CORE
spondent interviews in
Pittsburgh the late Robert
L. Vann. editor of the larg-
est of the Negro newspapers
of the country and director
Of Negro political activities
in Pennsylvania for the DEM
ocratic Party. He told me
why he had switched to
FDR. and asked him if the
Negroes were aiming at so
cial equality" His reply was:
MY goodness. no. We
have our own pride of race"
Then is it economic
equality?" asked.
That's it; that's it," he
replied. Equal pay for equal
work. and equal opportunity
in Jobs is what we really
want"
The political party that
improves the economic status
Of the Negro worker will gain
far more than the party that
doesn't. The civil rights"
issue is important to the
Negro voter. but it win not
swing an election for the
Republicans In times when
there is a recession or de-
preston. That's why, even
with the handicap Of the
Southern opposition to "civil
rights" the Negro voters in
the North are still betting
on the Democratic Party as
their economic savior.

Economic Betterment Legislation
Called Stronger Influence on Vote

recorded a marked gain over
1852 for the Republicans. it
is significant that, according
to the University of Michigan
study. the Republicans in
1948 had IS per cent of the
Negro vote, while in 1856
they got SO per cent-only
one more percentage point
than eight years before. In
fact, the research staff of
the Republican National
Committee in it's summary
report of the 1856 election
issued in May Of this year
says: Q
In spite Of considerable
improvement in the Repub-
lican vote among Negroes,
indications are that more
than three-fifths Of the Negro
voting population continued
to vote Democrat in 1856"
Why isn't all the civil
rights" agitation by the Re-
publicans more successful in
winning Negro votes? The
answer is to be found in look
ing at the same Michigan
study with respect to low
income groups as a whole. 1t
shows that those voters earn
ing below $4,000 a year-both
white and Negro-went from
SO per cent Republican in
1948 to SO per cent in 1852
and then to so per cent in
1856.
But in the wards in and
around Chicago which are
composed predominantly Of
Negro voters with low in
comes, the election statistics
show the Republican percent
age of the vote to be % per
cent in 1852 and about 80
per cent In 1866. This was q
substantial gain, but still the
Democrats got SO per cent
in 1856.
Looking. however, at the
wards with Negroes Of higher
incomes. the Republican per-
centage was 40.1 per cent in
1852 and 43.7 per cent in 1856
