The Little Rock situation also
dealt a stab in the back TO Ameri-
can prestige abroad" Mr. wilkins
noted, pointing out: The world
cannot understand nor long re-
spect a nation In which a governor
calls out troops TO bar little chill
dren from school in defiance Of
the Supreme Court Of the land a
nation In which mobs beat and
kick and stone and spit upon
those who happen not to be
white"
The address contained
strong denunciation Of states
rights as the theory as inter
preted by many southern states.
Recalling that Arkansas Gov
ernor Orval Faubus cited states
rights against federal authority
Mr. wilkins said: He and his
supporters cry out that the South
Is a hapless minority, subjected 10
the rule Of a ruthless majority
They ask recognition Of their
minority status in the nation"
Minority Rights Restricted
But the civil rights leader as
serted. Gov. Faubus and other
states rights advocates demand
for themselves minority rights
which in turn they deny to their
own minorities. While protesting
loudly and vigorously alleged re-
strictlons upon their liberties, they
consistently restrict the freedom
Of Negro citizens in their states"
According 10 the southern In
,erpretatlon. Mr.. wilkins declared.
one Of the rights Of the states Is
TO deny citizenship rights to Me-
gro citizens. which Is done largely
through enforced segregation.

Murphy And Industry
Described In
Liberal" Terms

If one is to believe that Muir
ply Motor Freight and similar
trucking concerns are discrim-
inatory, he will have to look
elsewhere for evidence. The
only information this reporter
has been able to unearth from
sources close to both Murphy
and the industry paint far
different picture than that in
formation elicted from other
sources.
Mr. Murphy was thoroughly
shocked when these articles first
appeared" This was the opening
statement of both Carl Brostrom,
Murphy's personnel manager, and
Harold w. Schultz, legal advisor
to Murphy and the industry that
Murphy represents.
Il was born and raised in Min
nesota," said Schultz, and
though l realize that discrimina-
ton is a problem, this is the first
time that anyone close to me has
ever been mentioned in connection
with the practice" Mr.. Schultz
continued: Il have known z. l..
Murphy about five of six years
and my impression of him as an
individual has always been good.
He is, to me, an intelligent person
Of the highest degree. Being more
than a Sunday Christian, Mr..
Murphy is a man Of the highest in
tegrity."
When these articles began, Mr..
Murphy called me. He did not
sound angry, just hurt. He asked
me about FEPC and il he or his
company were in violation Of the
law. In my opinion, he most GER
tainly was not in violation Of the
letter Of the law"
Harold w. Schultz is a former
member Of the state legislature.
During his term Of office. he serv-
ed on the finance committee and

Murphy Motor Freight win most

for Murphy Motor Freight seems
to rest upon Mr.. Bostrom's ar
gument: IF nothing but Cauca-
SLAMS were ever employed by this
company, then an argument sup
porting the contention that we
discriminate against Negroes
would be feasible. However, over

The young politicians also made
history by electing the first Ne
