Mf. Smith wrote to Mr..

his own views known to the

1T may we'll be that definite
improvements are necessitated;
however, it would seem essen
tial that the cab industry as
a whole make its position more
generally known than has been
up to this time. Ordinarily, the
industry and the public inter-
est are the main factors to be
considered, and up to this time
there have been no complaints
received from the taxicab rid
ing public requesting improve
ments that you suggest"
Mr.. Thomason has urged
that laws be passed to include
taxicabs in mass transporta-
ton; advocating that meters
be required in cabs here and
that the number of taxicabs in
the city be cut from the pres

United Mine Workers, for
example, are much more
hostile to recent labor legisla-
ton than many unions i'm
portant elsewhere. Nor have
they figured in the Senate
Rackets Committee hearings
for which Senator Ken
nedy's brother, Robert, was
counsel. He therefore, does
not know his way around in
the area quite as well as in
other sections.
The scuttlebutt is that
Senator Johnson's intimate
friend and former whip, ex-
Senator Earle Clements of
Kentucky, will be MASTER
minding a more or less open
campaign to give the Texan
a great big hand in West
Virginia. At least, the other
candidates fear this is so.
The fact that West Virginia
is a distressed area, making
a painful transition from
coal to a chemical-defense
economy, is expected to help
Senator Humphrey. He has
put more irons in the sena-
torial fire about aid to people
than has Senator Kennedy.
Furthermore, Senator Ken
nedy in both House and Sem
ate has had to fight that
same kind of battle for New
England, and Massachusetts,
in particular. The Humphrey
staff will scan the record to
see if there has been any
regional clash of interest they
might exploit from the record
of both his rivals.

Drama in the Democratic Race

So the more the Democrats
talk about "the Catholic
issue" the more harm they
are going to do their own
party and their own ulti-
mate candidate, regardless
OF his identity. Their prob
lem thus is great. If they are
going to stop Kennedy"
they had better do it on
impersonal and nonreligious
issues.
If they can't stop him that
way they will be far better
of not to stop him at all.
Democratic candidates or
factions even uttering the
words Catholic vote" from
now on will use them at their
own peril and to the peril
Of their common party.

Senator Humphrey has got
to go into West Virginia be-
cause he has pledged to do
so. There also is the i'm
portant fact that while his
chances for the nomination
are cne in ten. they would be
nonexistent if he cried quits
now.
There is much nonsense in

the Democrats are involved
in them all the same.
A great, unexploded bomb

triumph is widely attributed
although there is much OBJ
jective doubt that this is the
decisive eXplanation-to the
Catholic vote" The more
his success is explained away
on that ground the greater
the danger to the Democratic
party for November no
matter who is at length NOM
mated.
For if the anti-Kennedy-
ties are able to convince the
Democratic Party that his
is only or mainly a Catholic
candidacy" they are surely
going to convince the ma
jority Protestant voters and
the minority Catholic voters
in this whole country of the
same thing. If massive num-
bcrs of Catholics really are
for Senator Kennedy simply
because he is a Catholic,
these people. arr not going to
like it if he is dumped by
the Democratic convention in
circumstances suggesting that
the only real reason was his
religion.
And if the Stop Kennedy"
movement is going to be put
on the basis of his religion
and he still isn't stopped, the
Democrats themselves will
have given the Republicans
a powerful weapon with
which to beat him in the
campaign by exploiting the
so-called Protestant vote"

Civil Riqhts and Intimidation

"As you will note, the court
has been asked to allow any
interested parties to inter-
vene, but I am sure none will.
Public opinion is so much
against us that 70 one dares
raise his voice. I must ask
you, if you should see fit to
use any part of this letter or
the clipping, not to make my
name public. 1t could ruin
our business. We could be
picketed or have sit-down
demonstration. and we would
have no redress.
We've always held our
standards high in our motel.
Yet now Negroes come in
and they sit outside and
shout back and forth, play
ball or do anything to at
tract attention, while white
people drive past without
stopping, and then our motel
stands half empty. So, you
see. the problem is economic
as we'll as social. Again I ask
where are our civil rights?
I'VE are elderly people. We
have put our life'S savings in
this motel. If we lose it be-
cause of racial trouble. we are
too old to start over"
The foregoing is similar to
many other letters that have
been received in which people
express the opinion that So
cial customs are private GUS
toms and that every business
should have the right to'select
its ,own customers. Former
President Harry Truman,
commenting on the "sit-in"
demonstrations, has publicly
stated that "if someone came
into my store and tried 10
stop business, I'd throw him
out" Boycotts have been
undertaken as a means of
intimidating individuals who
believe they have a right to.
run their own business.
The problem is not con-
fined to the South. Mail
received by this correspondent
indicates there are plenty of
instances in Northern cities
where the civil rights" issue
now has become an agitation
for the invasion of private
rights.

Union Leaders Honds-OH Policy
In Primaries Believed Hurting Him

Senator Hubert Humphrey
OF Minnesota starts his West
Virginia campaign handi-
capped by a decision of
national labor leaders not to
intervene in the Democratic
primaries.
This cost him heavily in
Wisconsin, both in cash con-
tributions and in organiza-
tion help. He had expected to
get from labor the solid base
that Senator John Kennedy
enjoved in the predomirfantly
Catholic districts of the State,
but it did not materialize.
Labor is probably an even
more important factor in the
new battle-ground. West Vir-
ginia in a sense is two States,
one Southern and one indus
trial Middle Eastern. The
former is expected to take
kindly to Senator Lyndon
johnson of Texas, and the
latter has shown signs of
favoritism toward Senator
Humphrey.
Again Senator Kennedy will
be taking another of his
coolly calculated risks when
he seeks to find in the State
a third force to propel his
bandwagon. 1t could be that
a Humphrey johnson fight
there might enable him to do
very much better than sur
face aspects now indicate,

neck.

their maneuverings to bring
about a Southern bolt from
the Charleston convention
which would prevent the

succeeded. What they also
were successful in doing was
electing Abraham Lincoln,

a united party.
Mr.. Davis career is marked
by major policy decisions
which were so erroneous and
so hopelessly cast against
great tides of events and
history as to have about them

not at all the mature deci-
Sions of an experienced man.

The spectacular contest run

ants John F. Kennedy and
Hubert H. Humphrey in Wis
consin is now to be followed

small States convention dele
cation is not half worth the
risk to front-runner Kennedy.
And it would not actually
mean much to Senator Hum
phrey even if he should
carry it.
Nevertheless. the battle is
fated to be fought to the
finish. Senator Kennedy must
go on because, no matter
when and where he wins. to
date, a large section of the
political community only re-
plies: "YeS-but."
In plain fact, and all fine
spun analyses to the con-

in Wisconsin. On the big
scoreboard-the number of
convention delegates nailed
down-he beat Senator Hum

Labor Handicap for Humphrey

Senator Kennedy declined
at all times in Wisconsin to
debate from the same plat
form with Senator Humphrey.
Some of the Kennedy staff
also felt aggrieved that the
MinneSotan mounted a look
at the record" offensive
against their man in the
farm areas especially.
The Minnesota underdog
was not impressed. He felt
that it was not only fair but
desirable to examine the rec
ord, and he intends to go on
doing it. This might have
been foreSeen.
The presidency is the great
est political prize of the free
world, and the men who want
it generally find that they
have to fight for it. Few
allow their rivals to set the
frame of reference for what
is fair or unfair. While Sem
ator Humphrey firmly stated
that he would not accept re-
ligion as an issue. he proposes
to frame the rest of the rules
in terms Of what years of
tough politics have told him
is admissible or inadmissible.
He thinks Senator Ken
nedy, heir of both a political
and financial dynasty in
Boston, did it the easy way
up TO now. This is partly
true. But the cool nerve
which the attractive young
New Englander has been dis
playing indicates he will not
long be at too much of a loss
in the hard-knocks school if
it comes to that.

clusion that the party would
