Yet, for all the merits of

was told on each occasion that
they did not reserve seats by

of several families, all Negroes
in Babbit, a government-owne
community, are housed in a re-

Conspicuous by their absence

LIBERALS TOOK A POWDER
BY John Thayer

self were shamefully played
down.
The speakers list for the Pill
grimage included but two pro-
feSsional liberals "a gre a t
change from the usually dispro-
portionate prominence given to
them. These two were Demo-
cratic Senator Paul Douglas of
Illinois and Republican Senator
Jacob JavitS of New York. But
neither of these friends of the
Negro people" even bothered to
show up.
Why did the liberals boycott
the Prayer Pilgrimage? The an
Swer is that they are interested
in the Negro struggle only as
far as they can use it. Those
few who are connected with the
Republican Party couldn't use
the Pilgrimage because the very
holding of it was sharp rebuke
to Eisenhower for his refusal
to utter even one mumbling
platitude against the white-su-
premacist violence in the South.
That's why liberal Senator Ives
(R-N.Y) publicly opposed the
march on Washington and why
Sen. JavitS didn't show up.
But most of the liberals are
in the Democratic Party and
they equally opposed the dem
onStration. If it had been direct
ed only against the Republican
administration they would have
jumped on the bandwagon and
tried to grab the drivers reinS.
But the whole march was as
damaging to the Democratic
Party as to the Republicans and
so they turned thumbs down.
Their attitude is: the struggle
against Jim Grow is all right
but it must be kept in it's place.
The Negro people did absolute
ly right in holding the first ma
tional anti-segregation demon
stration in the nations capital
despite the refusal Of their fair
weather liberal friends to go
along with it. The demonStra-
ton was success to the tune
of $1,000 and an inspiration for
further principled struggle. Fur
thermore, the Negro people have
the satisfaction of knowing that
they did it all themselves.
