For the FIRST time since
1928 and the disastrous de-
feat OF the late Gov. Alfred
E. Smith of New York. South
ern Democratic leaders are
talking seriously about a
Catholic as a desirable can
didate for President. The man
they are discussing is youth
full and personable Senator
John F. Kennedy Of Mas
sachusetts. At the recent con-
ference Of Southern Cover
nors in Lexington, KY, Gov.
Martin Griffin Of Georgia
was quoted as saying: 1.-THE
South likes Kennedy" and
Gov. James p. Coleman of
Mississippi added: Hes got
a lot Of friends down our
way"
Whether this affection for
Senator Kennedy as q presi-
Dental candidate is more
than skin deep in the South
remains to be seen. No doubt
these Southern Governors
and some of their colleagues
would prefer him to Gov. G.
Mennen (Soapy) Williams OF
Michigan, for example, or
Gov. Averell Hartman of
New York should he be re-
elected November 4, or Sena-
tor Hubert Humphrey OF
Minnesota, or even Gov.
Robert B. Meyner Of New
Jersey, who at one time was
a Catholic.
They probably figure SEN
ator Kennedy would be more
lenient, more moderate, in
forcing indignation on the
South than these so-called
liberal Democrats. although
his friends in the North are
careful to insist that the Ne
gro voters can expect a square
deal from the man from
Massachusetts.
Oppose Williams Type
It is no secret that the
Southern Democratic leaders
wish to avoid having thrust
upon them Gov. Williams, OF
another liberal Of the same
caliber, as the presidential
nominee of the Democratic
Party in 1860. Yet, it is jus
such a candidate that Demo
cratic National Chairman
Paul M. Butler again anC
again says will be the stand
ard bearer of the party tw,
years hence-and that tn
South had better make VI
its mind to such a nomination
by the national convention.
1t is equally true that tn
Southern Democratic leader
wish to avoid, if it is humanl,
possible, a serious split in tn
party, with Southern Demo
Gratis offering a presidentia
candidate of their own. In
deed, they are emphaticall,
predicting there will be n
third candidate to run agains
the Democratic Party's reg
ularly nominated candidat
and the Republican candi
date. They said as mucl
during the Lexington con
= ference. at the same time a
they we're talking approvingl
of Senator Kennedy.
1t could be that some o
this enthusiasm for Senate
Kennedy arises because tn
Southern Democrats regart
him as a safe hitching posi-

Southern Democrats in the
1856 Democratic National,
Convention rallied to Senator
Kennedy for the vice presi-
Dental nomination-and al
most put him across. That.
of course, was not a presi-
dental nomination-just the
next thing to 1t. The South =.
erners on that occasion went,
for Senator Kennedy. hoping.
to head of the nomination Of
one of their own-Senator
Estes Kefauver Of Tennessee
They looked upon Senator
Kefauver "a liberal Demo-,

But the Midwest and the
West would not stand for
Mr.. Kennedy-and finally the
Tennessean got the nomina7
ton.
1t has been 80 years since
the Democratic voters in four
Southern States turned on
AL Smith and supported Re-
publican Herbert Hoover. 1t
was a bitter, degrading cam
paign. Mr.. Smith was opposed
because of his membership in
the Catholic Church, because
he was regarded as a Tam
many candidate, and because
he was a wet"
Since that day, the Eight
zenith Amendment to the Con-
stitution has been repealed

even in the South. Senator
Kennedy is far removed from

had his start. He is the son
of a millionaire, a former AM
baSSador to Great Britain.
The argument is made that
bigotry in this country has
largely been erased, and that
the old prejudice against
placing a Catholic in the
White House is greatly on the
wane. 1t remains to be seen,
however, whether the Demo-
cratic Party will take the risk
of nominating a Catholic in
1860. There has been what is

In accordance with the above

These statements are in the pro-

workers.
The social work profession has,
from its very beginning, been ac-
lively concerned helping to shape
social policy. Its history is rich
in the tradition Of social states

ial workers have a broad knowl-
edge Of individuals, groups and
community life, enabling them TO
we'll understand the background,

problems. This knowledge carries
with II an inherent responsibility
for social workers, individually and
as a group, to help solve problems
which interfere with community
progress
One such problem is housing dis
elimination in Minnesota. Here,
the rights, obligations and oppor-
tunities Of individual citizens are
being severely limited and thwart-
