UnspectoeuIor FIoridon Is Praised
For Resisting Extremist Pressure

Gov. Leroy Collins of Flor
Ida has suffered all his politi-
cal life from a severe handi-
cap. He is a deeply believing
Christian who tries to have
his life reflect this fact with
out ostentation, clashing of
cymbals or sounding of brass.
The result is that the ma
tioral image of the man is
blurred. He is not an exciting
man because what he does
rarely seems to stir the
pulses. The fact he quietly
achieves exciting results goes
almost unnoted. He now is in
the news because of a State
wide broadcast in which he
said that while lunch coun-
tiers in private business le-
gally could exclude anyone
they wished, it was immoral
to open the door and invite
trade but then exclude one
small section because of race.
AS he knew before he
spoke. this caused the ex-
tremistS to rage like the
heathen of Biblical reference
and to denounce him as a
fellow trying to get his name
In the papers, and, worse. as
one ambitious to obtain some
Yankee. honor. Nothing they
said about him was relevant
to the issue, and could not
have been, when one consid-
ers the sources. The target of
all this made no reply, but
went about his job of being
Governor.
Leroy Collins attracts no
attention with his dedicated
faith. He tries successfully
not to make any public dis
play of attending church or
Of doing any of the many
chores assigned him by it.

Condidote Tactics Are Outlined
In MonY-Heoded Democratic Rnce

The long, confused and
many-headed race for the
Democratic presidential NOM
ination "a race being run
largely from the floor Of the
United States Senate-is at
last taking on some touch of
clarity here and there.
Three Senators - John F.
Kennedy of Massachusetts,,
Hubert H. Humphrey of Min
nesota and Stuart Syming-
ton Of Missouri - are an
nounced candidates, now that
Senator Symington has made
his entry official. A fourth
Senator. Lyndon B. john
son of Texas, remains high
ly available but still not in
open competition. A fifth
possibility outside the SEN
ate, Adlai E. Stevenson, is
being prodded hopefully by
friends without his knowl-
edge or consent"
The situation is both as
sisting and endangering
Democratic chances for No
vember. On the credit side
is the rising public interest
the Democrats are creating
by their free-for-all. The Re-
publicans are being lost in
the spring political headlines.
There is no suspense and
thus no drama in their po-
sition. Their nominee, but
for the formalities, is al
ready chosen - Vice Presi-
dent Richard Nixon.
On the debit side for the
Democrats is that their
rivalries are opening party
wounds and will open yet
more.
The race, however, has at
least evolved to the point
where some things may be
described as fairly plain:
/. Senator Kennedy is in
creasingly the man to beat.
II he wins the April 5 Wis
consin preferential presiden-
tial primary against Hum
phrey, the Kennedy band
wagon will begin to roll at
hurtling speed. And Hum
phrey will be out of it.

moving up and so reducing
Senator Kennedy's COM
manding lead-slowly. The
Texans brilliant victories in
the Senate for a strong civil
rights vote protection bill
have blunted the most dam
aging old complaint against
him. This was his Southern
geography.

cision to get openly-but not
riskily-into the race has

not write them for the same

several others who have
made a national name for
themselves in the field of
racial agitation. But so dis
torted is our sense of news
values that for a man who
is the antitheSis of them to
be a story he must be con-
tinually in an equally ex-
hibitionist attack against
them.
Gov. Collins has never
seen it this way. He has
gone about doing what
seemed to him his duty. Now
and then this has caused
him to be in the national
news. But because he has
not been an extremist at
the other extreme of those
classified as demagogues he
remains a relatively un-
known man.
The fact is that he has
done some very spectacular
things. In the 1859 legisla-
tive session, for example, he
accomplished what was con-
ceded to be impossible. The
Legislature was hostile to
him. 1t had held caucuses

WIN. Crat1c tanned but sub
stantially strengthened if we are
to carry out the mandate of assur-
ing fair employment practices to
all the citizens Of the state"
Crates statement was included
in letter to the Minneapolis Fair
Employment Practice Commission
in connection with its current bud
get hearings. The chairman of the
state commission said, I'VE are
disturbed to learn that, budget
cuts are being considered which
would seriously reduce the level of
operations of the Minneapolis Fair
Employment Practice Commission.
THE effective functioning of the
City Commission is vital to the
success of our total statewide
program to secure and safeguard
the right of every individual to
employment on merit and without
discrimination"
Noting the urgent need for more
vigorous action, Cratic asserted
that, In spite of the fact that
substantial Improvements have
been made in employment patterns
since the Minneapolis City Ordin-
ance was passed in 1947, critical
problems of discrimination remain.
Some employers and industries
have actually retrogressed in terms
of fair employment practices and
others have never corrected long
standing practices of discrimina-
ton. Problems Of public contact
jobs and of upgrading to skilled,
supervisory and executive positions
persist in many industries and &C.
equations"
Emphasizing that the state COM
mission is not prepared to deal
adequately with the problems of
employment discrimination in Min
neapolis and st. Paul, Cratic point
ed out that, Our budget has been
allocated on the assumption that
the municipal commissions would
carry on the work within their
areas Of jurisdiction and we simply
do not have the staff and resources
to do the job If the municipal serv-
ices are curtailed.
This position was set forth by
Mrs. Eugene Anderson, the first
chairman of our commission, in a
letter addressed to the Minneapolis
Commission on October IT, 1855.
Our state operation has continued
to rely on the effective help of the
city commissions since that time. !"
