When he addressed a group of
Negro delegates to the Los An
geles convention, Johnson said of
his presence on the ticket, You
will not be sorry"
He promised that as Vice Presi-
dent he, and Kennedy, would be
able to accomplish more for the
cause of equal rights in the next
four years than Negroes have
achieved for themselves in the last
104 years.
According to those who were
present the reaction was skeptical
because Johnsons own record has
not been impressive. Before the
adoption of the 1857 and 1860 civil
rights acts which the NAACP con-
sidered relatively weak, these were
the highlights of Johnson's record
on civil rights:
He voted against House bill on
Jan. 10, 1910 to outlaw lynchings;
voted against a bill to outlaw the
poll-tax on Oct. 10, 1912 and re-
peated the vote in May, 1913. In
May, 1919 he voted for the So
called "Eastland amendment" to
bar racial desegregation in the
Capital without a public referer-
endum.
In the 1950s he voted against a
move to break a Dixie filibuster
on the FEPC bill. On June 20,
1857 he voted to send the civil
rights bill to Eastland's Judiciary
Committee. On July "A, 1857 he
voted to eliminate the vital por-
tons Of Title III, which the NAA-
! CP and others considered the heart
of the Administration proposals
So far as Northern liberals are
concerned more words from Ken
nedy and johnson will not do. Their
test comes in August, when Con-
gress reconvenes. II both bodies
improve the Civil Rights Act by
adoption Of Title III and enact a
genuine health insurance program
for the aged, then Kennedy and
Johnson may generate the enthusi-
asm for their election that is now
missing.

OF the South. But in New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois and
California his name is political
anathema to the liberal Democrats
who provide the enthusiasm and
also the margin of votes needed
for victory in November.
Whether the feelings about John
son are justified or not, they exist.
And since this is the year of pol
itical realism" it is important
that Democrats face up to them,
lest they perform the miracle of
snatching defeat from the jaws of
victory.
Sufficient has been written about
the damage to the Kennedy image
suffered when he knuckled under
to the man who would strike such
a low blow as to say on the eve
of the balIoting Il was never for
Hitler" The implication was that
Kennedy shared the America First
viewpoint Of his father.
But there are other, less per-
sonal, aspects to the johnson can
didacy.
The question that Johnson's
presence on the ticket now poses
Is: For whom does he speak? When
the pundits write of "placating the
South, are they referring to or
binary, decent Southerners-or are
they thinking of Dixie politicians,
the Talmadges, Eastlands, Russells
and Byrds,
Was Kennedy trying to appease
them? II so 1t IL well to remem-
Der what they represent. 1t is not
only that they are opposed to
equal rights for Negroes. They are
also the protectors Of the oil, gas,
banking and corporate interests
who seek special privileges in the
Congress.
johnson is their man.
There are undoubtedly many
voters, including some Of Ken
nedy's early hackers with whom I
have spoken, who wonder If the
young candidate can stand up to
the Russells and Byrds, now or
ever? This kind Of lingering doubt
is what Kennedy created for him
self by his hasty first decision TO
run with Lyndon.

DIAGNOSIS

II you have learned from the scroll Of life
Wisdom to keep your follies Gagged,
And resignation to the strife
For bread interminably waged-
II the Joy of youth seems less sublime,
And all you now discover from it
Is that you'd rather not have a good time
Than have to recover from it
Brother, you are middle-aged!

Delaware Food Market
Report

Last week the story of Donna was
fresh This week the damage is
being counted. The storm dealt a
terrific blow to the Florida citrus
crop. 1t left enough fruit scattered
on the ground to fill an estimated
10 to 25 million boxes. The bad
news is that none of it can be sal
vaged.
The United States Department of
agriculture further states that the
indications are $50 or better of the
grapefruit crop is lost The seed
less varieties suffered the most, so
IL looks as if this type will be
scarce. There is no estimate avail
able so far as to the exact damage
done to the orange crop but it is
considerable.
Not only fresh fruit supplies, but
canned and frozen citrus fruits and
juices will be affected by the dam
age Donna did.
At the meat counter this week
end there are many specials" Be
careful. All specials" are not quite
so; for example, many steaks have
been selling during the week for
75c a pound, however, they went up
during the weekend sales in many
places. Be sure to check prices

many food buys found on Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday.
Meats to check this weekend are
lamb - the combination packages,
leg-of- Lamb, and shoulder chops;
pork-smoked picnics, ham, and a
few chops. Beef remains good buy
with rib roast, pot roast and a few
steaks being the best bet, as far as
quality and money is concerned.
Veal prices are unchanged.
Look for bargains on roasting
hens, fryers, broilers and on large
sized turkeys. Cornish hens and
ducklings are also good buys.
The winter-type vegetable is be-
ginning to come to market in larger
supply now. Kale and spinach are
back at the counter with prices
ranging from 1Sc to zoe a pound.
Caulifiower, broccoli, acorn squash,
butter nut squash and October

gradually replacing summer vege-
tables.
Be sure to enjoy the last of the
homegrown tomatoes as the season
is fast coming to a close. Excellent
sweet corn is available this week,
as well as a good supply of sweet
potatoes.
More baking potatoes are here
and prices are edging down. Other
white potatoes are in good supply
and quality is good with prices very
reasonable.
Apples are the "best buy at the
fruit counter this week. The va
rieties now available are green

HARNESS RAGING
KENT SUSSEX

AS racing secretary at Kent
and Sussex Raceway in Harring-
ton it is the responsibility OF
Richard (Dick) Case to see that
all horses entered in any race are
as evenly matched as possible.
In addition to making for more
exciting races this helps to pro-
tect the betting public in that all
entries are capable of winning an
event. This is the result of the
careful rating of all horses at the
track by the racing secretary and
limiting entries in each race to
horses of comparable classifca-
ton.
Sometimes the reclassifcation
of a horse brings about disagree
ments between the racing secre-
tary and owners or trainers. Such
differences usually come as a re-
suit of the racing secretary
raising a horses classification.
This causes the owner to race his
charge against better grade of
horses, possibly lessening his
chance of winning. On the other
hand, if horse has been unsuc-
cessful in its class, it is ptobable
that the racing secretary will
drop it back in class In order to
have it race with other horses of
more comparable ability.
Dick Case was exposed to
horses and the excitement of har-
ness racing almost from the be-
ginning of his life in Pennington,
New Jersey. His father bred and
raced standardhreds.
With this background and
knowledge of harness racing it is
not surprising that upon his
graduation from the University
of Pennsylvania he became a
sports columnist for the old
Philadelphia Record. In 1889 he
moved even closer to the sport of
harness racing when he was ap-
pointed publicity director of the
United States Trotting Associa-
ton where he served from 1889
to 1941.
Case has served as racing Sec
retary at Grandview Oval and
gainesville Raceway, both near

Cleveland, Ohio, and at the
Grand Circuit meeting at Lexing-
ton, Kentucky.
He also has been general man.
ager at Ocean Downs, Grandview
Oval and Rosecroft Raceway.
Since 1858 he has served as rae
ing secretary at the Harrington
track.
A short time prior to the be-
ginning of a race meet Dick be-
gins a detailed study of the type
and classification of all horses
stabbed at the track and plans a
racing program designed to ac-
commodate possible entries.
Once the meet gets under way
he keeps a continual check on
each horses competitive per-
Torrance and reclassifies them
when circumstances warrant.
For instance, if a horse wins
handily in a class c event it is
likely that Dick will race it to
Class B for future events. If the
horse fails to compete satisfact-
orily in this class, it will possibly
be moved back to a lower classifi-
cation.
When classifying horses on the
basis of competitive efforts, the
racing secretary must take into
consideration such things as con-
dition of the track, racing luck,
breaks, post position and such.
For general purposes, however,
Dick Case last year classified
trotters and PAGERS in accordance
with the following table. The
times are the horses best effort
for a mile race on a half-mile

SUMNER CHRISTMAS

SOUTH PASS CITY, Wyo. up
- Six years ago, John and Minnie
Woodring, owners of the historic
old ghost town of South Pass City,
planned a Christmas party.
The tables were loaded down
with food and about 100 guests
were expected from Lander. rs
miles away.
Then the snow came. Six feet of
snow fell on the little isolated
mountain community - and none
of the guests arrived.
The Woddrings aren't going to
get caught like that again.
They still have their traditional
Christmas party each year but
it's held on July 25.

reported that the man, on being told
that no seat was available on a certain
flight, put his briefcaSe on the counter
and said: "In that case, I'll just set the
bomb off here" When arrested by the
FBI, the man explained that he was only
trying to be funny.
But, as FBI Director Hoover recently
declared in bulletin to all law enforce
ment officers, threatening Jest or
otherwise-to blow up an airplane is no
joke. 1t is, he said, "SenSeless and law
less" act, the perpetrator of which is
subject to Federal fine of up to 81, 900
or a years Imprisonment. In asking
for the cooperation of local authorities
in cracking down on these so-called
jokesterS, he pointed out that the fake
bomb reports not only seriously disrupt
air carrier operations but "cause unnec-
essary fear, concern and delay for per-
sons using the airlines."
The FBI has arrested more than Is
persons so far this year on charges of
making fake bomb threats. A large in
crease in such incidents was noted last
spring, after the explosion Of an airliner
over North Carolina, due to a bomb.
Those responsible for this sort of mis-
guided humor ought to be penalized
in way that will convince them and
others that such hoaxes are anything
but funny.
