America Will Go Toward

the present rulers in other nations. in
Guiding Premier Khushev of Russia. His
Guiding Premier Khruschev Of Russia,
His position is firm but not dogmatic in
Albeit, Richard Nixon ppears to us
to be the best Qualified and the safest
man to guide the nation for the next
four years.
We have come to this conclusion with
out consideration for religious affilia-
tons, socalled civil rights, and many
other points of difference SO we'll
argued in the press and radio. When
these are taken into consideration our
position would not be changed but con-
firmed.
Mr.. Kennedy is a Catholic; MIR. Nixon
Of he Quaker faith. We hold no animus
for either, since this is purely a matter
for the individual. A president swears
his allegiance to the United States in
his oath of office. We would believe
this sufficient if the mar is worthy of
serving as president in the first place.
AS to socalled civil rights - both men
believe in de-segregation and support
platforms which promise to halt all
forms of segregation. Kennedy would
force desegregation by additional pow
ers Of law. He said in Detroit September
5, Il take my case to the American
people because l am confident that the
American people want to bring an end
to racial discrimination everywhere -
in the schools, in the homes, in the
churches, in the lunch counters. / want
every American free to stand up for his
rights, even if sometimes he has sit
down for them" In our opinion Mr..
Kennedy will further debase the Consti-
tuition in favor of his principle of de-
segregation.
Mr.. Nixon believes firmly in using the
power of the government to provide
equality in voting, education and jobs.
Of course, Nixon was a member of the
team" when President Eisenhower or
dered troops into Little Rock. There is
no evidence that he was directly con-
nected with this incident. 1t is also a
fact that Attorney General Brownell,
who supported the idea, soon left the
attorney g%eneralship.
So far as appointment of Negroes to
federal offices is concerned. Henry Ca
bot Lodge, Nixon's running mate is re-
ported to have promised that a Negro
would be appointed to a cabinet posi-
ton. Not to be outdone, Kennedy in a
speech, in effect, promised to appoint
Negroes to federal judgeships.
Our opinion is: The best qualified
person should be appointed to positions
of public trust. Appointment should be
made m the basis of qualification not
because Of race per Sc.
Much loose talk has characterized this
campaign. We have based our opinion,
not on loose talk but what we believe
to be the essentials of good government.

inns YEAR, PRAY

This year let pray for common things;
For common peace for peace has wings
To high mountain-sides,
To find the fields where hate abdes
For common love- for love spreads far
To gather mankind, like a net,
Together in common groove
OF happiness without a threat
For common homes where may live
Quiet and content, and dare to bring
His inner dreams at close Of day
And them without whispering.
For a common faith that beclons men
In peace and love beside his throne,
Humble, awakened brothers all
Never lost more alone
Who are working every day haven't the slightest idea what

A CONSTANT theme Of South

the banner Of states rights, is that
traditions cannot be lastingly i'm
posed from the outside. They are
perfectly right; Reconstruction
proved the point. But they, as well
as we observers in the North, for
get that when we speak Of "the
South" leg, ''the South Says
Never!," 'the South Spurns the
Court"), we really mean the white
South. This mistake in terminolo-
Ky allows us to overlook the fact
that the South means Martin
Luther King as well as Richard
Russell, and that the greatest pres

Negroes to do away with segrega-

dramatic and significant expression
Is the movement that has grown
from the Negro student sit-in dem

the Southern Regional Council, has
probably been in closer touch thar

Here are a few thoughts I have
heard or overheard this past
week. One man, Joe Devers, about
As years old was saying" At the
plant where worked they let out
50 men without any warning and
we were replaced by a machine
that does our work and IL takes
only two men to operate it. The
owners said they were sick and
tired Of the strikes that were al
most running their business so
they put in this machine"
Joe is As years old, not consid-
cred an old man but he has walked
the streets for months and be-
cause Of his age he cannot find
a job anywhere. He is a fine mech
anic and was drawing a good sal
airy.
At first he tried to find a Sim
liar job but failing, he looked for
any kind Of work that would keep
his family from being hungry and
cold.
So far, he has looked for five
long heartbrealing months and has
found everywhere men being laid
off from every walk in life.
He said his savings are dwind-
ling and he has to get a job Of
some kind soon or he will really be
desperate. He Is one Of the many
men who are out of work, too
young to draw social security or
any kind of pension so he wonders
what on earth he will do.
He took a small job to keep a
little money coming in but he is
not free to go look for a regular
job while doing piece work hour
jobs and the piece work job only
lasts two or three days at the
most.
He said he would never think Of
robbing a grocery store like one
of the employees did, but he said
for the first time in his life he
almost understood why this young
man, Bert s. stole a loaf of bread
and some milk from a store. He,

BY DAN WAKEFIELD

The debate on school integra-
ton in Georgia begun by HOPE
has come into almost daily head
line prominence in recent weeks
with the deliberations Of the Sib-
ley Commission, a study group APP
pointed by the state legislature at
the end of its last session to hold
public hearings and then make a
report and possible recommends
tons on the school question by
May 1. This was a week before
the federal ruling is expected on
whether or not the Atlanta school
board must put its court-accepted
pupil placement plan beginning
with the 18th grade and working
down a grade each year, into OPP
GRAFTON this September.
1t is stin possible that the At
lanta schools win close, at least
temporarily Though Atlanta May
or Hartsfield says they won't close
for a single day because we're
too busy making progress here").
Governor Ernest Vandiver was
elected on the promise Of total
segregation, but the new force Of
public opinion on the side Of keep
ing the schools open may give him
an excuse to retreat. Some political
observers in the state believe that
the Governor will try to wait I'M
til Negroes are ordered into the
schools, so the federal court-rath-
er than the state legislators-win
have to knock out Georgia's segre-
cation laws, thus leaving him and
the other politicians officially"
free from the blame.
Changed Climate
Whatever tactical stalls may oc-
cur, the work of HOPE and the
Sibley hearings have changed the
whole climate of the conflict In
Atlanta, eighty-five of ia witness
ses told the Sibley Commission
they favored keeping the schools
open in compliance with the court
Indignation order. In every one Of
the ten counties where hearings
were held, even in the most die
hard segregation spots in south
Georgia, HOPE had witnesses to
support its stand. Even the most
optimistic observers were surprised
and encouraged by the fact that
not only Atlanta, but a total Of
five of the ten districts where hear
ings were held had a majority Of
witnesses in favor Of maintaining
public education even If it meant
Indignation. "A lot Of u.s." one
HOPE mother said, never dream
ed that the state was even split
on the issue"
The results Of the hearings, and
the popular support Of HOPE
| (which recently presented a petit
ton signed by 10000 voters sup
porting open schools) does not
mean that there is a great wave
Of sentiment for Indignation in
Georgia. HOPE does not take any
stand for or against integration
but presents the issue purely as q
matter of schools or no schools
The Khan and the Citizens Council
elements are powerful here, too
and the ladies' Of HOPE are sub
jected to obscene and threatening
phone calls from outraged segrega
tionists. Georgia, like Alabama ant
Mississippi, is one Of the state
that Martin Luther King callet
"the South Of Resistance" bu
the difference Is that in Georgii
there is now an open debate, a
least on the issue Of school integra
ton. Where there Is a public dial
ogue, bringing the issues and argu
ments into the open, there is hops
