The South Carolina governor re-
ferred to this meeting in his state
ment, pointing out that Kennedy
has had to explain everywhere
he went why he had the support of
a Southern governor" Though I
have yet to see a convincing ex-
PLANTATION of this by Kennedy, it
seems to this observer that Holl-
ings' statements place the Senator
in the position now of having two
explanations to make instead of
one.
We've all heard the old adage
about politics making strange bed
fellows. But if Kennedy honestly
believes that liberals and minorit-
les viii join him in playing footsie
with the likes Of such declared
bigots as Patterson, Hollings, and
others of their iIk, then somebody
ought to wake him up, but quick!
Even 50 confirmed a Southerner

Sen. Humphreys candidacy has
aroused no cheers from white poll
ticians in the South. From the
very first, Humphrey has made 1t
all too plain that his position is
one of vigorous action to assure
every American of equal civil
rights. At a Democratic rally in
California Just last week, which
was addressed by both Humphrey
and Kennedy, Humphrey brought
the audience to its feet by declar-
ing:
IF the price Of political success
in 1860 is betrayal of the cause of
civil rights, to which 1 have de-
voted my life, I have news for
you. You go someplace else and
look for a candidate"
I think it is of significance, how
ever-though no longer a surprise
that Kennedy continues to enjoy
such excellent relations with South
ern politicians, whose avowed aim
is to obtain a White House resident
who will continue a go slow pol
icy about enforcing civil rights for
Southern Negroes. I still wildly
recall the breakfast conference
Kennedy had with Alabama's open
ly racist Gov. Patterson last year.
After the meeting, Patterson
jubilantly declared his support for
Kennedy, pronouncing him a
friend Of the South" The only
apparent embarrassment the Ken
nedy camp showed was merely
over the fact that Patterson's an
nouncement came sooner than it
was supposed to.
