'VIPs" (very Important persons) in
the political arena.
Friday morning Senators John F.
Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson met
with all the Negro delegates. Senator
Johnson assured US and made the
point very clear and Senator Kennedy
joined him in this, that if they are
elected they wilPsee to it that Negroes
make more progress in the next q
years than they have made in the last
so.
To further drive home his point,
relative to SouthernerS who have
helped the cause, he cited Hugo Black
of Kentucky, Ex-senator Claude Pep
per of Florida and Governor Leroy
Collins of Florida.
This indeed was an education along
many lines. 1t was privilege to have
been part of this important delibera-
ton. There was, of course, minority
opinion and it was expressed openly
and at times forcefully. But the over
all majority opinion was what finally
came out on top. l think we are in for
some progressive years.

Salute NAACP

In his message to the NAACP
conference, Lester B. Granger, ex-
ecutive director, National Urban
League said: Looking to the years
ahead after the 5Oth anniversaries of
both the NAACP and the National
Urban League, we in the Urban
League see greater need than ever
for an intense application of our twin
programs May your 51st year be
an auSpicious beginning for the new
job ahead. The nation needs sound
ly-led and firmly-supported NAACP
program as never before"
George Meany, president, AFL-
CIO: I'VE share your objectiveS. We
are fully committed to them as you
are and we are constantly pressing
for their fulfillment in the laggard
areas of the labor movement as we'll as
in the nation as whole. While we are
proud of the accomplishments of the
trade union movement to date, we are
cognizant that much remains to be
done within our own house, and, as
we have made quite clear, we intend
to do that job.
I'VE share as we'll common enemies.
1t is no mere coincidence that the last
anti-Negro stronghold in America is
likewise the last anti-union stronghold.
Those who oppose you, oppose us.
In so doing, they oppose all that is
good for America.
But the goal we share with you
is not so close to achievement as to
permit the luxury of differences in.
tactics developing into recriminations.
We are both entitled, on the basis of
our individual organizational records,
to confidence in the others good

I cannot say, and I will not say
That he is dead. He is just away!
With a cherry smile, and a wave

He has wandered into an unknown

And left us dreaming how very
fair
It needs must be, since he fingers
there.
And you = no you, who the widest
yearn
For the old-time step and the glad
return,
Think of him faring on, as dear
In the love of There as the love
of Here;
Think of him still as the same, I
say:
He is not dead-he is just away.
