In addition to the Negro
and labor groups Of voters in
the big cities who swung back
in large numbers to support
President-elect John F. Ken
nedy last month, many So
called ethnic and nationality
groups did the. same. This
was true in large measure
among the Jewish population
and among Americans of
Polish, Hungarian, Italian
and Lithuanian blood. Many
Of these had supported Presi-
dent Eisenhower in 1852 and
even to a greater extent in
1856 - although previously
they had been largely Demo-
cratic. This year, many Of
these voters, according to re-
ports, moved over to support
Senator Kennedy because Of
the religious issue-those be-
ing Catholics choosing to sup
port a man Of their own
church.
These groups in the big
metropolitan areas have been
a problem for G. o. P. candi-
dates for President and for
other public Office. They con-
tinue to be such a problem. If
the President-elect and his
political party have their
way, these groups will remain
a problem in 1862 and 1864.
Senator Kennedy, in appoint
ments to his cabinet, has
given representation to some
Of them, and in his selection
Of lesser officers of the Fed
eraf Government, even a
wider representation. This Is
practical politics.
Offered Post to Negro
For the first time in the
history Of this country, q
President-elect has selected q
Negro for a cabinet post

son, who is "a years old, de-

ever, aims the first
President-elect to have giver
such high recognition to tht
Negro voters.
It was almost a foregon,
conclusion that the Senatol
would pick Gov. Ribicof O
Connecticut. a Jew. for !;
place in his cabinet. Gov
Ribicoff was one of his ear,
liest supporters for the pres
idential nomination, and h,
was active in the election
campaign. He is, of course
not the first Jew to sit in ,
Presidents cabinet. The lat
President Franklin D. Roose
welt picked Henry Morgen

banking family, for Secretar,
Of the Treasury, less than ,

The Bid for Nationality Groups

A second Jew in the Ken
nedy cabinet is Arthur Gold
berg, Secretary Of Labor. His
appointment appeals both to
the Jew and to organized
labor.

paign with the Kennedy
promises to do more for them.
both here and abroad. than
the Republican administra-
tfon has done. They were i'm
pressed, too. with promises Of
better economic conditions
and more and better Jobs.
These are promises on which
the President-elect has still
to deliver.
The Republican Party will
necessarily seek to gain the
confidence Of these national
ity groups. AS long as they
are tied to the apron strings
Of the Democrats, the dim
Guilty of carrying the big in
dustrial States in presiden-
tial elections, or Of electing a
Republican Congress, will
continue. A glance at returns
in the recent election clearly
indicates the need Of appeal
ing to these nationality
groups more strongly than
was done.
For example, the 10th ward
in Chicago, a strong Polish
ward divided in 1948, the
Truman year, 81 per cent Re-
publican and SO per cent
Democratic; in 1852, an Eli
senhower year. So per cent
Republican and ga per cent
Democratic; in 1856, an
other Eisenhower year, Al
per cent Republican and So
per cent Democratic. This
year the vote in this ward was
% per cent Nixon and 72 per
cent Kennedy. Polish wards
in Buffalo, NY, showed a
similar trend over the last
four presidential elections.
winding up 32.5 per cent
Nixon and CTS per cent Ken
nedy. In Illinois. an Ital-
ian ward in Chicago. the
10th, voted 80 per cent Re-
publican in 1898; A per cent
Republican and 56 per cent
Democratic in 1852; SO per
cent Republican and Al per
cent Democratic in 1856, and
this year it voted A per cent
for Mr.. Nixon and 56 per cent
for, Senator Kennedy. This
kind Of thing may easily be
developed in an examination
of wards of New York, Phila-
delphia and other large cities.
Big Philadelphia Vote
Philadelphia rolled UP a
$4,000 plurality for Senator
Kennedy, a tremendous vote
that made it possible, for the
President-elect. to carry
Pennsylvania. a very neces-
sary operation for his elec-
tion. In 1860, the registration
Of voters stood about rs per
cent white and Is per cent
Negro. The vast majority Of
the. Negro voters supported
Senator Kennedy. and this
kind of support came to him
from Jewish voters, who con-
stitute some IS per cent Of
the city's total vote.
A history Of Philadelphia
voting in recent years-and
the Pennsylvania results -
shows that when the Republi-
can vote in the city falls be-
low, Al per cent. the State
goes Democratic. Mr.. Nixon's s
vote in November was only
31.8 per cent Of the total.
President Eisenhower had 43
per cent in 1856. and Senator
Hugh Scott. Republican
elected in 1858, had more
than Al per cent of the
Philadelphia vote in the same
election that saw Mr.. Nc
Gonigle, the Republican can
didate for Governor, with
only 1872 per cent of the
Philadelphia vote, lose his
race.
