White HOUSE Administrative
OFFICER CHARGES REPUBLICAN
PARTY FAILS RECOGNIZE
NEGRO AMERICANS AS
FIRST CLASS CITIZENS
(. Frederick Morrow COP
women's Conference Speaker
Urge Negro Voters Be Given Evidence Of
Sincerity Of Republican Leadership In
Congress On Matters Of Human Rights

Washington, April IA White
House administrative officer told
the seventh annual Republican
Women's Conference today that the
party's failure to win the Negro
vote caused "ignominious defeat"
last November.
The speaker was E. Frederic
Morrow, in charge of special pro-
jects at the White House. Mr..
Morrow, a Negro, said the same
thing could happen in 1860 unless
the party had some "soul-search-
ing leaders, who could comprehend
this question:
What do we have to do to win
the Negro vote?"
"The basic failure of the party
to recognize Negro-Americans as
first class citizens, with all the
hopes and aspirations that go with
this role in American life, is the
primary contributing factor to the
party's failure to attract and to
hold the Negro voters loyalty"
Mr.MorrOw said.
