istration today would think that
the only thing that mattered was
balancing the financial budget. I
suggest that once in a while this
Administration consider the i'm
portance of balancing our moral
budget.
And I regret to report that the
record Of Congress is little better.
THE UNSUPPORTED COURT
In 1947 President Truman's
Civil Rights Committee said, The
time for action is now" It is
twelve years later and except for
the Civil Rights Act of 1857, pared
down under threat Of Senate fill
buster to avoid any support what
ever for the desegregation decis-
ions, the Congress has done moth
ing to balance the moral budget.
I know all the arguments being
used against Presidential and Con-
gressional action in support Of the
desegregation decisions.
Let us be patient and take
things slowly, say the standpat-
ters. But five years have elapsed
since the desegregation decisions
and Congress has failed to take
one single step to support the
Court.
There is still discrimination in
the North, say the standpatters,
so why talk about segregation in
the South. No, we're not perfect
up North - far from it.
Above all, argue the standpat-
ters, a change in the hearts Of men
will have to occur before the prob
lem Of segregation will be solved.
am the first to grant that
nothing would be as effective in
achieving racial equality as a
change OF heart in the people who
harbor racial prejudice. But It IS
grievOus error TO assume that gov
ernmentaI action can do nothing to
cause q change Of heart.

asking legislatures for the l cent gas
