MonduIe Hits At
Discrimination In
Public Contracts

Attorney General Walter F,
Mondale Monday announced a
stepped-up program to enforce the
state law prohibiting discrimina-
ton in public contracts.
Mondale stated, after a confer
ence with the staff of the Mime
sofa Fair Employment Practices
Commission, 1--WE should remind all
public agencies that contractors
doing business with the State of
Minnesota or any county, city,
town or school district are fully
subject to the law which prohibits
such contractors from discriminat-
ing in their employment practices
by reason of race, creed or color. d"
Mondale noted that the full text
of the statute is contained as a
part Of the specifications in all
state contracts. He further noted
that the statute prohibits discrim-
nation in the hiring of both COM
mon and skilled labor and that it is
binding also on sub-contractors.
The anti-discriminaton clause
in public contracts provides an ad-
ditional device for securing COM
pliance by contractors with the
state policy of employment in
merit as expressed in the Mime
sofa FE.P.C. Law, Mondale said.
I'VE should make certain that this
policy is encouraged by all en-
ployers doing business with public
agencies"

Wisconsin Airy. Gen. To Crack
Down On Violutors Of
Anfi-DiscriminotonS Laws

Milwaukee CAMP - Atty. Gen.
John Reynolds has appealed for a
breakdown on persons who dis
criminate against minority groups.
THE revocation or suspension
of occupational licenses of persons
who illegally discriminate against
members of minority groups could
be an exceedingly potent weapon
in the states efforts to enforce its
anti-discrimination laws" Reynolds
told the Milwaukee branch Of the
NAACP.
"Wisconsin's anti-gambling law
has been very effective in curbing
gambling and other abuses in tav-
ems because the law provides for
the revocation of the tavern license
of any persons who permits gamb-
ling devices to be used n his tavern.
similar provisions could be en-
acted for the revocation Of tavern
license, restaurant and hotel lie
enses, BARRIERS licenses and many
others, where the license violates
the anti-discrimination laws" Rey-
nolds said.

The
HIGH
And Low
DOVE
BY BAHE THOMAS

Political Talk: Bailie agrees
with COP Vice-President candi-
date Henry Cabot Lodge that there
should be a Negro in the Cabinet.
Even if his running mate, Mr..
Nixon and Democratic candidates
Kennedy and johnson are hem
ming and having" about the
issue, we're with Lodge.
One wag said yesterday: ITS
too bad can't vote for Kennedy
and Lodge, or maybe Lodge and
Kennedy"
The stuffy self-serving argu-
ments advanced by Kennedy, Nixon
and Lyndon Johnson that, cabinet
members should not be appointed
because of race, or religion etc,
etc. are simply begging the ques-
ton.
The fact remains that Negroes
have been excluded from consid-
Grafton simply because of their
race. It's pleasant to have a guy
running for one of the two top
spots on any major party ticket to
stand up for having members of
one-tenth of the nations popula-
ton finally considered as possible
cabinet timber.
A humorous though amazing
thing about this Negro in the
Cabinet" business is the reaction
of the Negro himself. American
Negroes have become so BRAIN
washed about their inherent in
feriority that too many Of them
have asked: Are there any Ne
groes capable of serving in the
White House cabinet?"
The answer is an emphatic yes!
Bailie has been acquainted with at
least four cabinet officers in the
past 20 years and he knows sever
al dozen American Negroes who
are head and shoulders above in
training, ability and intelligence
any of the four officials referred
to before.

mortgages foreclosed, some Ne
groes were dismissed from their
jobs and the distributors of gaso-

through Southern states believed
capable of swinging either way on
November 8.
The signs that many Of these
votes may stin be fluid are sum
moning the best efforts Of John F.
Kennedy and Richard Nixon, but
the Negro leaders are telling them
that their efforts thus far have
not been good enough. Both men
are likely to talk civil rights with
increasing emphasis as the election
nears.
The recent history Of Negro vot-
ing is in itself proof of these fluid
currents. Franklin D. Roosevelt
won the Negro preponderance
away from the party Of Abraham
Lincoln and the flux which he
stirred reached its peak in 1852
with the whopping majority, some
rs per cent of the total Negro vote,
for Adli Stevenson.
Then came the Supreme Court
Decision Of 1854 and tempestuouS
period in the South. In the 1855
election, according to studies by
DR.. Robert E. Martin of Howard
u niv er sity, the Democratic
strength among Negroes fell off
about 10 per cent in Northern
cities but the balance Of favor re-
versed itself completely in many
parts Of the South. Thus Dwight
Eisenhower, who had won seven
to 80 per cent of the Negro vote
in major Southern cities in 1852,
claimed so to rs per cent Of the
vote in those same cities in 1855.
Why Southern Negroes Reacted
This was a reaction by Southern
Negroes against the South's reac-
ton TO the Supreme Court decision.
They couldn't vote against the
Southern senators and congressman
who were aligned solidly against
their goals because most Of these
officeholders did not have signific-
ant opposition IN a general election.
So they vented their unhappiness
on Adlai Stevenson.
Some like DR. Martin, and the
Rev. Marshall Shepard Of Phil
adelphia, who has been travelling
through the South in Kennedy's
behalf, do not find the mood 50
severe this year. But other Negro
leaders, strategically located, re-
port the existence of Nixon Senti-
ment that could be damaging to
the Democrats in key Southern
states.
The Republican proclvity Of
George Lee and other leaders in
Memphis, for example, could turn
the tide in a state like Tennessee
where the balance among whites
may be close. These implications
are heightened by the heavy Negro
registrations in most Southern
cities.
Kennedy had achieved a favor
able image among the Negroes by
the time of the Democratic con-
vention. He had done well, with the
help of Franklin Roosevelt Jr.,
among Negro voters in the Wis
consin primary against the stiff
opposition of Hubert Humphrey.
But the image was badly dented
by his selection of Lyndon Johnson
as a rInning-mate.
He Discovers Apathy
This new sentiment was quickly
discernible in the campaign. When
Kennedy spoke in Oakland, Calf
ornia, where his audience was ex-
pected to be about one-quarter Ne
gro, very few colored people were
noticeable in the massive crowd.

On Erasina Crime

It Is silly to expect Negroes to work
some special magic and erase Negro
crime" when whites have been trying with
out success for centuries to find a way to
erase white crime" Nevertheless, believe
that Negroes jeopardize their movement
toward first-class citizenship when they
make no bold, open effort to deal with
problems that are particularly acute among
Negroes and when they make no real effort
to assist the majority group to a better
understanding of the efforts Negroes are
making and of the reasons why they cannot
do more.-Carl T. Rowan in "Are Negroes
