Green Holds
Butler Reply
To Challenge
BY CECIL HOLLAND
star stan Writer

Democratic National Chair
man Paul M. Butler has left 1t
up to Senator Green, Democrat
of Rhode Island, to make pub
lie a formal reply to a letter
challenging his attacks on the
record being made by Congress.
Mr.. Buffers reply was hand
delivered yesterday to Senator
Green after the Rhode Island
Senator had accused the chair
man Of using his position as
"a gun-pit" for attacking DEM
ocratic candidates by assailing
the record Of the top-heavy
Democratic Congress.
More in sorrow than in an
ger, Senator Green had written
to Mr.. Butler bemoaning that
Congressional Democrats should
be attacked not by Republicans
but by a fellow Democrat
standing high in the party Or
ganization.
Reply TO Butler Criticism
The Green letter was in res
ponse to criticism voiced by the
national chairman in q teleVi-
sion broadcast last week end
in which he called on the DEM
ocratic leadership Of Congress
to write a more progressive rec
ord. Otherwise, Mr.. Butler said,
the party will find itself in a
difficult position in the cleo
tons next year.
Mr.. Butler said the Senator,
who is g. member of the Ma
tional Committee, could release
his reply, If he desired. Sena-
tor Green delayed a decision
on making it public.
In his letter Directing to
Mr.. Buffers criticism, Senator
Green cited Is pieces of legiS-
lation passed by the Senate as
"a few of the positive measures"
which already have been en-
acted.
More is yet to come" the
Senator added. The record
is not yet complete"
Holland Sees Disunity
In another blast at the ma
tional chairman, Senator Hol-
land, Democrat of Florida, &C
cuSed Mr.. Butler Of creating
disunity in the party. In brief
remarks on the Senate floor,
Senator Holland said the chair
man seems to be trying to de-
stroy the party.
Other members of Congress
Of conservative learning have
called on Mr.. Butler to resign.
The national chairman has
given no outward heed to these
demands nor to the controversy
stirred up by his remarks over
the week end.
He was busy with party af-
fairs and his Office reported
he was not available for any
amplification or explanation of
his remarks.
Today he was attending q
closed party relationship meet
ing at the Sheraton Park Hotel
with representatives from all
parts Of the country. He and
Representative Dawson, Dem
ocrat of Illinois, one of the
leading Negro leaders in the
party, will hold a joint news
conference at the close of the
conference tomorrow afternoon,
the Democratic headquarters
reported.
Democrats Indignant
In the Senate, meanwhile,
Democratic leaders lit into
President Eisenhower for We
toing domestic housing legisla-
ton while pressing for more
foreign aid spending.
Majority Leader johnson told
the Senate yesterday that
eventually the cloak of hy-
pocrisy is going to be torn from
some of this propaganda"

Letters
Charleston, w. Va.

Dear Mr.. P. D.:
Isn't there something terribly
inconsistent in Mississippi State
refusing to permit its basketball
team to play in the NCAA play
offs because members of the
team would be competing against
Negroes, and then allowing the
Mississippi State star - Howell
= to play in an East-West All
Star game in which Negroes per-
formed?
I would think that either Mis-
sissippi State authorities would
fire the boy from school or at the
very least segregate him from
the student body for a period Of
two or three weeks so that no
possible contamination could be
absorbed by his fellow class
mates.
Sincerely,
w. E. Chiffon, III

one crop that held them in bond
age.
I propose to examine the South
as it is today, as revealed by the
statistics which put her in per-
spective in relation to the rest of
the country, and also to take q
realistic look at her political
standing, her power in the ma
tional councils.
On the whole, the economic
picture has been one of growth,
Eof even spectacular progress in
isolated cases such as Texas and
Florida. But the South started
from a much lower base than any
other section Of the country and it
is still far behind. 1t has shown
higher percentage of gain in
personal income than any other
section of the country since 1910,
but it is still last in income per
capita. Thirty years ago. its per
capita income was half the ma
tiona1 average; today it is 10 per
cent.
According to the Department.
of Commerce, the per capita in
come for the continental United
States for the four years from
1864 through 1857 was $1,027, a
gain Of IA per cent for the four
years. The per CAPITA income of
The Il Southeastern states in that
Iperiod was ST ,427, which was
Exactly 5000 a year or $50 q
month below the national aver
| age
/ Not one of the twelve Southern
states reached the national aver
age in income, not even Florida,
with its spectacular growth.
1 Florida was highest, with $1,836,
/ Georgia the norm with 81 ,431 and
my native Mississippi the lowest
lin per capita income with 1858.
III might add, parentheticalIy, that
actual income for 1857, during
what we partisan Democrats call
the Eisenhower boom, was doWa
an average of from $500 to $500
per capita, the South down less
than any other section, undoubt-
edfy because farm income decli1-
ed less than industrial wages.
Our insrnle is the lowest in the
nation, let us admit. How have
We done otherwise economically?
There is nothing in other figures
Ito sustain the pridefta and glow
| ing reports I have been reading
fin Southern papers. We have been
making progress, YES, but So have
other sections. In value added by
manufacture, which is the index
Characterization, we are fourth
Ein percentage of growth among
the seven sections Of the country
lin the past ten years.
4 Tn employment growth for the
item years through 1856, we are
fifth with a 81 per cent increase
las compared with 81 per cent for
tine Pacific states, fl per cent
for the West South Central,
where Texas with a rs per cent
increase brings up her neighbor5s
Just as Florida, with an employ
Iment growth of 81 per cent in the
decade, brings up her II sister
states of the Southeast. An IN
teresting fact energes from en-
\ p1nynlent figures New England,
with. a i per cent growth, is de-
sclilling steadily, the nid-Atlantic
Il states Of New York. New Jersey
! and. Pennsylvania, are less than
holding their own. The great
growth in the country is in the
Far West, Texas and Florida.

Those who are alumni Of the

the times, there was then and
there still is great truth in what
Grady said.
