Further along the statement con-
tinued:
Therefore we pledge action to
obtain consideration of civil

the pledges of the Democratic plat

They could hardly have been
more explicit.
THE BACKAWAY - Not long
after the bad effects of the short
session wore off, some Democrats
began talking of executive &C.

civil rights question. There was
decreasing talk of the next execu-
tive Strongly supporting" new
laws.
When Congress convened Senate
Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield
did promise to give consideration
to anti-filibuster proposals, but not
early. In fact the debate came to
so late in the session that failure
was inevitable,

even so there are many lessons

On the TV screen there was the
Black Muslin" who wanted moth
ing to do with Caucasians. There
were Negro intellectuals, especially
from Los Angeles, who simply
wanted to forget what their race
has been through and asked only
for consideration of themselves on
their merits. There was a taxi
driver who spoke of the vanish
ing white man, who he hoped
could adjust to his Forthcoming
minority status.
But the big lesson was that Ne
groes felt they no longer can wait
100 years after the Civil War.
Moreover they are not going to
wait at lunch counters, in segre-
gated depots, or for court orders.
They have reached the stage of
direct action.

cided civil rights was not a high
priority issue.

If the show had appeared a

known to respond if there is evid-
ence of a deeply-felt public con-
viction and a demand for action.
Obviously in the case of civil
rights, as in the case Of federal aid

Clinton { OF { Tells
Plans For Jackson's
First Bowl Game

The Clinton Junior Chamber
of Commerce announces plans
for the staging this year Of
Jackson's First Annual Missis-
sippi Bowl Football Game.
The game is planned for Fri
day night. December |, 1861,
and will bring together two out
standing high school teams in
a colorful football contest.
Present plans call for the
game to be played on Newell
Field, although the possibility
exists that the contest will be
shifted to Kinds County Memo
rial Stadium. The Bowl game
was originally scheduled last
season, but had to be cancelled
due to lack of time to complete
arrangements and the inability
to schedule participating teams.
Committees have been set up
and are now at work laying
plans, making arrangements and
scouting ball teams throughout
the state.
Clinton Jaycees are working
hard to bring to the residents
of Jackson and the State of
Mississippi the best in post
season football entertainment.
