The Fadiman review pretty well
sums up this writer's reactions.
There is no need to go into details
about the plot and spoil the sus-
pense for those who win be read
ing the book.
Cleveland, Ohio currently has a
real-life version Of "Peaceable
Lane" on its hands. A Negro dem
fist, DIR. James K. Robinson and his
pediatrician wife, DR.. Lelabelle
Freeman Robinson, are defendants
in a suit to GUST them from the
$45, 700 home they bought in the
exclusive Shaker Heights section.
The suit, filed in Common Pleas
Court by the Helper Brothers
Building Co., alleges conspiracy
and fraud through a white middle
man and seeks to rescind the sale
Of the house to the Robinsons.
The company also seeks $500, 900
for alleged damage to reputation.
The home was purchased on
September 9Th by a white attorney
and his wife, Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
s. Haffner. The deed was recorded
on September 26th. Three days
later the Haffners sold the house
to the Robinsons, who had previ-
ously negotiated for a house but
the building company had refused
to deal with them.

Practically none Of the families
involved had any reserve funds.
With the stoppage of relief checks
as Of July 18th, desperate cases
Of need began to arise among these
families toward the end Of July,
and by mid-August, conditions be-
came intolerable.
A report issued October 20, 1860
by the National Urban League In
dicates that the status Of the chill
dren who have been removed from
the Aid to Dependent Children rolls
in Louisiana Is still very critical.
Forty percent Of the $500 chill
dren in Greater New Orleans and
ninety percent Of the 1900 plus

the state have not been reinstated
on the welfare rolls.
Minneapolis citizens recognize
that the responsibility for correct
ing this critical problem lies with
the Department Of Health, Bduca-
ton and Welfare and the Louisiana
Board Of Public Welfare. However
in the meantime, there are thou

food and clothing and some cases

his selection Of Texan Sen. Lyndon
johnson as his running mate.
In the comparative short period
since the Los Angeles convention
Kennedy surrounded his campaign
effort with some of the top Negro
politicians both professional and
amateur.
He effectively used Eleanor
Roosevelt, Sen. Hubert Humphrey
and other civil rights advocates to
reasSlre Negro voters Of his in
terest and dedication to the civil
rights cause.
Wherever Kennedy travelled he
had with him Frank Reeves, Wash
ington, d. c. Negro attorney and
Democratic National Committee
man from the District Of Columbia
and Andrew Hatcher, a Californian
az staff press assistant. Reeves,
a early Hubert Humphrey sup
porter won his committee post
with support of the Minnesotan.
Kennedy's campaign committee
sponsored a civil rights confab in
New York called a Constitution
al Rights Conference" which was
chaired by Humphrey and featured
such civil rights adherents as
Eleanor Roosevelt, Gov. Mennen
Williams, Sen. Paul Douglas, form
sr Gov. and Sen. Herbert Lehman
and the Presidential candidate
himself John Kennedy.
The top stroke Of luck for tho
Kennedy campaign among Amer
ICA'a approximately 10 mAIlAOn
Negro voters was tho totally
politically unrelated Rev. Martin
Luther King prison incident.
A simple telephone call by Sen.
Kennedy to the wife of the SOUTH
ern leader the Rev. Martin Luther
King to express regret for his
Georgia imprisonment on a trump
ed up traffic violation probably
won him a half million Negro
votes. At the time this In written
this is actually about Kennedy's
numerical margin Of lead in pop
ular vote.
Whether Kennedy's call was sell
fishly or politically inspired may
never be known, but it won Inn
mediate reaction from many Ne
groes who had planned to vote for
Nixon, observers say. The Vice
Presidents silence on the impriSon-
ment Of King which hit the front
pages Of newspapers all over the
world did him no good, and created
the suspicion that he kept quiet
ala Eisenhower because he felt
any statement would harm him
with the southern states which
he desperately wooed in the closing
weeks Of the campaign.
An irOnic factor was Kings
known admiration for the Vice
President
The fact that Kennedy's action
seemed spontaneous, and was a
calculated risk to his vote in the
South, where he was already In
trouble struck the imagination Of
many thousands of Negro voters
all over the country.

Stevenson in the colored wards and
precincts.
The various computer systems
which recorded trends had the New
York City Negro vote for Kennedy
increasing II per cent over that
given Adlai Stevenson in 1855. In
Chicago the percentage was much
higher at IA per cent.
In the southern and border
states where Negroes voted i'm
large numbers the trend was
the same.
Kennedy phenomenal vote,
among American Negroes after
starting off way behind Vice
President Nixon at the beginning
of the campaign, was one Of the
wonders of the campaign.
Kennedy's Stock Low In July
In July at the time of the Demo-
cratic national convention Ken
nedyS stock was so low among
Negroes he was roundly boOed
when he appeared to speak at a
Los Angeles NAACP mass meet
ing.
All during the primary CAM
paigns Kennedy's speeches gener-
ally lodged mention Of the civil
rights issue and this was not lost
on us. Negroes. The haste with
which Kennedy was endorsed for
the Democratic nomination as ear
ly dis 1868 by Mississipprs then
segregationist governor, James P.
Coleman, caused considerable ma
tionwide suspicion among Negroes
tof Sen. Kennedy.
This plus a criticised vote on ar
amendment during the 1867 civil
rights battle in the us. Senate
for a strong civil rights bill by
Sen. Kennedy early aNentateC
many thousands of Negro voters
Nixon's stock rose among us
Negroes upon his return in 1856
from a trip to Asia, when he sug.
gested publicly that the us
should get its racial house in order
and end discrimination against the
Negro which he said was hurting
the nation among the new nations
of the East. These nations felt Mr.
Nixon said that color prejudice
against one race was indicative
of a white superiority complex
among Americans.
Later after a trip to Africa
Nixon made further suggestions on
the civil rights question to the ma
ton.
BY the time of the 1860 conven-
ton his prestige had risen especi.
ally among that large group OF
US. Negroes who are numbered
among the nations political indie
pendents.
Kennedys defeat Of chief civil
rights advocate Sen. Hubert H
Humphrey of Minnesota in Wiscon'
sin and West Virginia primaries
did not increase his prestige among
Negro leaders who are active In
the civil rights struggle.
BY the time Kennedy was nom.
mated and Nixon had been named
by the Republicans, the former
still had much ground to make up
despite the enactment by the Dem
ocratic convention at his insistence
of the strongest civil rights plank
ever put in a major party plat
