South when Roosevelt gave us

nothing like that All this labor
legislation. unemployment compen-
sation. all that stuff, Roosevelt
gave us all that"
Mr.. Kennedy's basic attraction
to Negro voters is simply that
hes a Democrat" and carries the
party banner; others like him for
quite different reasons.
As put by Walter Petry Jr., a
college teacher:
Kennedy is more forward-look-
ing than Nixon. I believe he'll be
able to discipline the Southern
conservatives in his party. I be-
heve his religion makes him the
underdog and will win sympathy
for him"
Old FOgieS Like Ike
From a brown haired 26-year-old
waitress in Seventh Avenue res
taurant:
Il think it's time we got in a
young man like Kennedy and got
rid Of these old fogies like Ike.
All he does is play golf anyway"
Some of those who said they
would vote for Kennedy screwed
up their faces at mention Of his
running mate, but seemed to feel
as a Lenox Avenue pharmacist
put it that hes a bitter pill, being
a Southerner, but I'll swallow
him"
A Brooklyn barber said:
Il don't like Nixon or Kennedy
Both are second-rate. think we've
run out OF Presidential candidates"
Another factor that may tend
to hold down a protest vote against
the Democrats is that many Ne
groes believe they have a stake in
the Democratic party mechanism.
in terms of political jobs, of pol
itical strength.
Gazing out over Harlem from
his air-conditioned clubhouse win
dow the other day, J. Raymond
Jones, Democratic district leader
and chief strategist Of the Powell
forces, spoke of this.
Any protest vote would only
divide the Negro, dissipate his po-
Gtical strength, his bargaining
power with the people downtown.
We are being seriously regarded
in New York politics only because
we are united We must stay unit
ed, stay Democratic"
But A. Philip Randolph, respect
ed patriarch of the Negro labor
disagreed:
Negroes should support both
parties, to stimulate both parties
to compete for their vote. That
way the Negro would get more
from both parties. Neither party
alone can deliver on civil rights
and other essential legislation"
A Negro lawyer said:
Il voted for Stevenson last time
but I've got to go with Nixon this
time. We've been voting for the
Democrats all this time and they
should have done more for US
They talk about giving US housing.
What housing? And jobs. What
jobs? They just take our vote for
granted nowadays.
Another who felt that the DEM
ocrats took the Negro vote for
granted was kenneth b. clark,
Associate Professor of Psychology
at City College.
The Negro has most to gain
by keeping his vote independent,
flexible, by not voting blindly out
of habit" he said. II believe the
Negro has gotten as much as he
can from blind allegiance to the
Democratic party, which today is
controlled by Southern Democrats
and big city bosses who have no
regard for the Negro"
A factor that seemed to be coun-
teracting some of the growing anti
Democratic sentiment was the feel

ing, expressed by a significant
number of those interviewed, that
President Eisenhower had drag
ged his feet" in enforcing the Su-
preme Courts 1854 school integral
ton decision.
Il know Ike doesn't believe in
that decision because he hasn't
even said he's in favor of it" a
quiet-spoken stenographer assert
ed.
One of the odd discoveries of
the survey was that a significant
number of Nixon supporters plan
ned to vote for the Vice President
despite their feeling that President
Eisenhower had a poor record on
civil rights.
These voters believed that Mr..
Nixon had established a civil
rights image separate and distinct
from that of the President or the
Republican party.
Court Decision Cited
This comment came from Ken
meth Sherwood, a credit manager:
Nixon showed an early interest
in oar problems. He long ago en-
dorsed the Supreme Court decision.
He has endorsed the sit-ins. He
went to Ghana for its independ-
ence. He fought for a strong civil
rights plank at the convention,
and his friend, Attorney General
william p Rogers, is the best
civil rights friend we ever had in
that office.
Alexander Bethea, an employee
of the Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION, said:
"Ike's been a nothing President
on this civil rights thing The only
thing he's done is stay out of the
way of his Attorney General and
let him go ahead with it. But I'm
still voting for Nixon because a
vote for Kennedy is a vote for the
Dixiecrats. Our only hope is the
Republicans on this thing and !
like what Nixon's said and what
he's done"
The survey showed that foreign
affairs a concern over which
man can handle the Russians" and
keep us out Of war"-was emery
ing as a lively issue among Negro
voters.
1t was not only frequently men,
toned but it also often took pre-
cedence over civil rights as the
chief reason given by some potent
ial voters for their preference fol
one candidate.
IT made up my mind quick be.
cause Nixon has more experience
in foreign affairs" said Clinton
Mcintyre, a garage manager from
| Queens. II like him on civil right!
too, but primarily I think he!
better qualified to handle the worlc
situation than Kennedy is"
Interest In Foreign Affairs
Voters like Mr.. Perry cited hi!
feeling that Kennedy would b.
more dynamic on the internationa
scene" as one of his chief reason!
for voting for him.
This interest by Negro voter!
in foreign affairs seems to hav'
been sharpened by the emergenc'
of the African nations on the worlC
stage.
Up to now the religious ISSUE
has not kicked up much dust il
Negro communities and most OBJ
servers believed that it would no
play a significant role in how Ne
groes vote.
Most of those interviewed in tn
street survey said that "as Ne
groes we can't afford to vote oil

that "Kennedy's religion doesn'

ABU-CHosH, ISRAEL

ABU-CHOSH, ISRAEL
am writing this story in one of the most bizarre
hamlets on the face of the globe. To the casual
traveller on the road to Jerusalem, this sleepy
town looks much like any other cluster Of fat
rooted Arab dwellings in Israel. Perched on
hilltop terraced with apple, plum, and grape
orchards, the village shimmers in the afternoon
sun, its peace broken only by the bark of dog,
the squawk of chickens, or the dreary clop-clOp
of an Arab-driven donkey.
Except for an ancient monastery built by the
Crusaders, Abu- -ChOsh is nothing much to look
at But this obscure hamlet is something to talk
about What's SO extraordinary about Abu-
Chosh? Every living soul in the town - and
dead in the cemetery as far as that's concerned -
has the same gosh-darned name. That's right =
they're all named Abu- -Chosh!

DIR. G. Taylor Whittier, SUI
perintendent Of schools, told
the board he had learned ON
y recent visit to New York
State that trained dogs had
been utilized to patrol school
properties and had been an
effective deterrent against In

One factor to be considered,
DR.. Whittier said, was the
fact that the cost of buying
and training each dog would
amount to about $1,000. The
board accepted his comments
for future consideration.

May Spur Developments
Nearly all of this land Is
zoned for half-acre and two-acre
lots. Extension of sewer lines,
however, could be expected to
bring demands for more inten-
sive development on smaller
sized lots. But Shaw cautioned
against providing sewerage
service "willy-nilly" to any area
where it is desired to engage in
property development"
Development, even though 1t
increases the tax base, can be
an expensive proposition il at
the same time it inordinately
increases the expenditure of
money to provide the necessary
public services" he declared.
Potomac Sewer Indispensable
Shaw emphasized that most
of the recommended sewerage
system depends on construction
of the proposed Potomac Inter
ceptor Sewer authorized by Con-
gress to serve Dulles Airport
and adjoining Maryland and
Virginia areas.
This legislation, he said,
should be supplemented by the
