Publishers Guests
Of Humphrey At
Hotel Breakfast

washington, d. e. - Despite
the fact that the National News
paper Publishers Official schedule
was heavily loaded with visits,
luncheons and cocktail sessions
with Republican Administration
officials one Democrat Senator
Hubert H. Humphrey had the OPP
portunity to break bread with most
Of the men and women who direct
the nations top Negro newspapers.
Thirty-two editors and publishers
were early morning breakfast
guests Of Humphrey the personable
Minnesota Senator who is an as
pirant for the Democratic presi-
Dental nomination at the Hotel
Roosevelt here Saturday morning.
Humphrey spoke briefly after
being introduced by Cecil Newman,
Minnesota publisher of the Min
neapolis Spokesman and st. Paul
Recorder.
He told the news people some
of his views on various issues and
said he felt that the White House
should furnish the nation with a
dynamic leadership.
On human and civil rights he
said he remained adamant pointing
out that some of his longtime ad-
visers including Newman had ask
ed him from time to time to take
it easy for the sake of political
expediency, but that he had al
ways rejected such views because
he considered the solving of the
civil rights problem, a must if this
country is to live in harmony, and
keep its international prestige.
Following his talk several of
the publishers asked questions.
One of them Percy Greene, much
discussed editor of the Jackson
Miss ADVOCATE questioned
whether the Humphrey Clark bill
for Federal Registrars would be
successful in obtaining the vote
for Negroes in the South Greene
pointed out that Federal grand
juries in that section will seldom
indict white men and said he felt
that Federal registrars would be
some Of the same people or people
like those whom they would not
indict in the Mack Parker case.
Humphrey said it had become
necessary to write strong bills
because of the administration
apathy towards supporting the
Civil Rights Commission.
He asserted that he would be
happy If the civil rights issue
could be removed from the area of
party politics and become a BIZ
partisan issue. Liberals Of both
parties had been trying this for
several years but have not been
able to obtain the necessary sup
port he told his listeners.
Humphrey said he was sure
that some meaningful civil rights
legislation will be passed this ses-
sion If he has anything to do with
it.
The warmth Of the reception
received before and after his talk
was noticeable. The fact that so
many publishers got up an hour
early just to eat breakfast with
him was commented upon.
On Friday, the day before, the
Minnesotan had asked Majority
Leader Lyndon Johnson to lead the
battle for passage of civil rights
legislation.

answer may be nothing, although the
United States could eventually be
placed in an untenable position be-
cause of the growing threat of Cuban
subversion. Cuba, of course, is not

For Control Of Minds

A N lncessant battle continues through
out the world for the control of
mems minds. The movement has grown
for the past twenty years. 1t can be
seen today in the communist efforts to
stir revolution. More often than not the
younger people are the targets. Their
minds are in the formative stage, and
can be more easily influenced and
moulded.
Hitler built his NaZi organization by
control of the minds of the younger
men of Germany. He controlled the
youth, promising a new era, a wider
horizon. The Nazi nation came to an
end, after millions of casualties, because
Hitler was allowed and did, in fact,
control the youth of Germany whom
ne led into paths of recklessness.
The people Of Russia are held by
few thousand party members, whose
minds and beings are controlled by an
ATHEIST doctrine and carefully directed
propaganda. The youngsters are taken
as children and reared by the state,
indoctrinated with the communist
theories and teachings They grow up
to be dedicated Communists, seeking
to win favor in the party and thereby
special privileges
The United States is not escaping the
battle for minds. For example, last
Week in Washington a White House
Conference, called by President Essen
hover, was held. The 10000 youth de-
legates heard discussions on every sub
Ject imaginable. Divided into ITO study
units, each unit adopted resolutions.
