dnOtner refrain, can take care
Of mine enemies, but Good Lord
protect me from my friends"
What's happened to cause such
anguish in the camps of both
men?
First of all, take the Kennedy
case. The distinguished young man
from Massachusetts prides HIM
self on having brought together
one of the best brain trusts"
since the days of the New Deal.
Every man on his staff is polite
ally astute, earnest, eager, intelli-
gent. Kennedy wants to be regard
ed by Northerners as a liberal,
This takes some doing, especially
since many Northern liberals re-
gard Kennedy suspiciously.
What has happened?
Under a Birmingham, Ala. date
line, the APP reported on June 16:
Gov John Patterson came home
to Alabama today carrying the
banner of Sen. John F. Kennedy,
Democrat of Massachusetts,, for
President. Interviewed here, Gov
Patterson said:
L will use all the influence I
have to see that he (Kennedy)
gets the nomination"
This was tough break for Ken
needy. For John Patterson is the
man who two years ago led raid
on a small printing shop at Tuske-
gee, Ala. and seized a quantity
of NAACP literature. He was
then States Attorney General. He
is the same man who, on being
sworn in as governor, pledged to
preserve segregation if it meant
closing schools.
And as late as April 22, 1859,
Patterson said: THE citizens of
Alabama will scrap their public
school system rather than submit
to Indignation of the races" If
Kennedy repudiates him, it will
anger other Southerners and will
also be an admission he is run
ming. If he remains silent what
will civil rights advocates think?
