The observance of Equal Oppor-
tunity Day on November 10, 1860
WI be the focus of the st. Paul
Urban Leagues Thirty-Seventh
Annual Meeting to be held at $3.50
pm, Thursday, November IT, 1850,
at the Hotel Lowry.
Guest speaker for the occasion
viii be James Mcbride Dabbs,
President Southern Regional Coun-
ell.
The former college professor was
born near Mayesville, in Sumter
County, South Carolina, in 1896, of
ancestors on both sides who had
lived in South Carolina since about
1850.
Mr.. Dabbs holds an A. B. De-
gree from the University of South
Carolina; a M. A. Degree from
Clark University, Worcester, Mas
sachusettes, and did graduate study
in English at Columbia University.
He taught college English, main
ly at Cocker College, Huntsville,
South Carolina for 20 years. He
was head of the Coker College Eng
lish Department for IL years.
Though he has been mainly a
farmer for more than the last 20
years, Mr.. Dabbs has contributed
to many leading American publica-
tons. Among these are the Old
Scribner's and the Old Forum, the
Christendom, The Yale Review, the
Virginia Quarterly, The Sewanee
Review, the Old Southern Review,
the South Atlantic Quarterly, the
Churchman, the Christian Century.
Problems of race relations have
been his chief interest for about
10 years. He is a southerner whose
views concerning the problems are
not wholly popular in his native
southland.
Race Relations In The Sixties
What Course For Americans
will be the theme of his talk. Per-
sons wanting to hear Mr.. Dabbs
are encouraged to make reserva,
tons early.
The meeting is open to the pub
lie and reservations can be made by
calling the Urban League office al

able Lane.
Meanwhile 1t is useful to have
the problem dramatized for us
fairly and intelligently by a man
who is humane without being sent-
mental-and who, more to the
point, knows how to create cred
ible characters, can make them
move and talk, and can trace,
without any fancy psychologizing,
the varied conflicts an unpreced-
ented situation evokes in them"
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 will be read
ing the book.
Cleveland, Ohio currently has a
real-life version of "Peaceable
Lane" on its hands. A Negro den
fist, DR.. James E. Robinson and his
pediatrician wife, DR.. Lelabelle
Freeman Robinson, are defendants
in a suit to GUST them from the
$3.50 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 5000, 900
for alleged damage to reputation.
The home was purchased on
September 9Th by 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.
Thus, Cleveland is facing a

with a social Nell russell
phenomenon actually occurring in
towns and suburbias all over the
country. A Negro family buys a
house in a small Westchester
County middle class development
and moves in. What happens? OBJ
viously each white citizen reacts
somewhat differently from his
neighbor, in accordance with his
background, his emotional make
up, his character and his bank
account. These reactions Mr.
Wheeler orchestrates skillfully and
fairly so that in the end you get
a reasonably complete and con-
Hncing sense of just what it means
to a typical group of Northern
whites to have their modest but
treasured Utopia invaded by Ne
groes who will presumably send
property values plummeting and
who, to the more unbalanced
Peaceable Laners, threaten even
worse disasters"
Fadiman comments further: I'VE
all know that the Negro is on the
move, that in a sense he has ceased
to be a Southern problem, that it
is in the industrial cities and sub
urbias of the North which must
work out a principle of rational
accommodation. This will not be
easy-and Mr.. Wheeler makes it
clear that there are some ill-ad-
vised Negroes who are trying to
make il harder. The solution Peace

abandon segregated schools.
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 26, 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
in other communities throughout
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, Educa-
ton and Welfare and the Louisiana
Board of Public Welfare. However
in the meantime, there are thou
sands of children in dire need of
food and clothing and some cases
shelter.
In an attempt to partially meet
this need, we are appealing to the
Minneapolis community to join a
number of other communities
throughout the country which are

Morton Says Negro
Elected Kennedy

Washington, D. C.-According to
Republican National Chairman
Thurston B. Morton, loss of half of
the 26 per cent of the Negro vote
which had supported Eisenhower
was primarily responsible for the
defeat of Nixon.
Morton said, I'VE should have
done more in that area three
months ago"

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 1856. In
Chicago the percentage was much
higher at IA per cent.
In the southern and border
states where Negroes voted in
large numbers the trend was
the same.
Kennedy s 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
nedy's stock was so low among
Negroes he was roundly booed
when he appeared to speak at a
Los Angeles NAACP mass meet

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 as 1858 by Mississippi's then
segregationist governor, James p,
Coleman, caused considerable ma
tionwide suspicion among Negroes

Nixons stock rose among US
Negroes upon his return in 1866
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

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
reassure 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
as a 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
er Gov. and Sen. Herbert Lehman
and the Presidential candidate
himself John Kennedy.
The top stroke Of luck for the
Kennedy campaign among Amer
ica's approximately 10 million
Negro voters was the 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 is 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 i'm
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
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.
