graceful
Everything Rogers said about
the failure Of the Grand Jury even
to hear the FBI men who did the
investigating being a "travesty on
justice" was absolutely right.
You talk about states rights"
Rogers said. That's fine. I be-
iieve in states rights, too. But
there are also state responsible
ties. 1t seems clear to me that II
a state doesn't believe in the ad-
ministration Of justice, to the ex-
tent Of not even calling witnesses,
in a case like the PoplarviIle case,
then the Federal government must
consider something else"
Wasn't all this evident months
ago? Why so late?
In a way the tip-off on the Ad-
ministration's uncertainty about
its position on the Parker case
and similar episodes is that no
one in authority yet has called
for enactment Of a federal anti
lynching law. This would seem to
be the minimum need in any new
civil rights legislation. Yet even
Rogers SHE'D away from recon-
mending it.
The failure to be specific Ii
bound to make some people think
he is playing politics.
II he is, then civil rights advo-
Gates ought to keep on guard.
Among politicians there are ties
that bind. They are stronger than
opposition to lynching. After all
the administration has depended
on Southern Democrats to hold
the line on its conservative DOM
este economic policies. The old
Repubhcan-Dixie Democratic coal
ition is still a force to be recl1oned
with.
Yet the fact that Rogers has
moved even as far as he has, must
be marked down on the plus"
side Of the ledger. But 1t should
be recognized for what 1t is-a
minor advance, not a major gain.

political capital out OF his lynch
ing. Yet for the families Of other
Negroes in the South it is, in the
long run, fortunate that politicians
outside Mississippi are forced to do
something about wanton disre-
gard Of the law by local mobs.
What prompts me to make what
specifically seems like contradic-
tory observations is the way At
torney General Rogers announced
that the Justice Dept. was coming
back into the case. Unquestionably
Rogers has given it political over
tones by his belated announcement;
yet it is better that he moves late
rather than never.
When Parker was lynched last
spring the Justice Dept. acted
with complete propriety in sending
the FBI to investigate. There
seemed to be a possibility that
Parker's body had been carried
across the state line. Technically
the Department was also correct
in saying that no federal law had
been violated, after the FIJI had
completed its findings - because
there is stil no federal anti-lynch-
ing law after all these years Of
civil rights debate.
What Is distressing Is that the
President and Attorney General
fell silent during all the interven-
ing months, even after Gov. Cole
man refused to impanel a special
grand jury to look into the case.
Such a grand jury, Coleman arg
ued, would do nothing. 1t was
better to wait for the regular FAN
panel.
But II was a foregone conclusion
that nothing would happen in the
FAN. Coleman refused even to spec
ulate on what the regular grand
jury might do. He was not being
naive; he knew the record Of Miss
issippi juries.
II was evident to anyone with
the slightest knowledge Of lynch
law" that nothing ever happens
to the perpetrators unless there is
terrific public pressure. By putting
action off to the Fan, the Miss
issippi Governor was trying to
make sure that Congress took no
action when public sentiment was
aroused about the Parker case.
