Problems of Full Participation on Basis
Of Proportion to Population Are Cited

private clubs here that do not
admit Negroes, and added:
And, as I say, if we're 60
ing to practice what we
preach, we're going to have to
take steps forward in all Sec

Secretary Goldberg, in a
public address recently in
New York, said:
II find it difficult to un-
derstand why, in the houses

dinner parties, the cocktail
parties. have rarely seen
Negroes as guests. This is
particularly marked among
intellectuals and liberals in
our large cities. particularly
in New York City and Chi
cago. Are there no Negro
writer's, composers, artists,
academicians with whom one
can break bread, with whom
one can engage in intellec-
tual discourSe?"
There are, of course. many
of us, irrespective of race
or creed or color, who are
never able to engage in "in-
tellectual discourse" anyway,
but, assuming that there are
a fortunate few who can do
so, the question arises as
to what the administration
here has to do with it. The
Supreme Court Of the United
States in recent decisions has
upheld freedom of associa-
ton" for individuals, but this
was in a case involving al
legged Communists. rather
than non Communists. so
perhaps it doesn't apply to
everybody.

fact that adequate police were

or did not keep it If enough
were there, is also a feature
Of what is an old pattern.
The point Of this is that
a few persons whose solu-
ton to their hate is insane
violence and the willingness
to main or kill are allowed
to be the face that the South
shows to the Nation. They
are not the South. Yet,
where the leadership is so
chained by its own prejudices,
only the vicious element feels
free to act.
Our moral weakness is that,
rather than move promptly
and with determination
against those who commit
lawlesS acts, we condemn
them with words, and seek
naturalization for them and
ourselves by criticizing the
victims.
1t is hardly to be doubted
that the test was. in a sense,
theatrical in concept and exc
cution. In that meaning it
invited attention. But what
ever the error Of that, the
fact remains that it did prove
that an orderly. law-abiding,
ticket-holding passenger can
not ride a bus through Ala
bama if extremists wish to
prevent it. They could. and
did, ride through other
Southern States.

DAVID LAWRENCE

An agitation started by
spokesmen for the Kennedy
administration is stirring up
quite a controversy, not only
over the admission of Ne
,groes to private clubs, but
their inclusion at cocktail
parties and dinners in private
homes.
The idea of token" par
ticipation seems to have been
rejected as unsatisfactory by
many advocates of "integra-
tion," the argument being
that to select a few is a kind
of hypocrisy and that full
participation on the basis of
the proportion to population
is much more equitable.
About 81 per cent of the
population of the National
Capital is Negro, so it is
being argued that there must
be equality" and that a
failure to provide an equal
number of Negroes at cock
tail parties and at official
as we'll as private dinners is
q form of discrimination"
Two members of the Ken
nedy cabinet have spoken out
on the subject of admission
of Negroes to private clubs,
but there has been no indi-
cation from them as to the
quantitative formula to be
used in determining how
many should be admitted.
Nor is there any Qualification
as yet as to what the Ken
nedy administration intends
to do to coerce the private
clubs to do its bidding. TAX
ing away tax exemptions is
one device often mentioned.
The public discussion was
started by Attorney General
Robert Kennedy and Secre-
tary of Labor Arthur Gold
berg. Mr.. Kennedy in a tele-
