order are steadily breaking down
racial barriers in the South. While
Negro militants are complaining
that progress is too slow, segre-
gationists are seeking to complete
ly halt any further advancement
Of integration.
They feel the only way to do 1t
is to combine forces.
Until recently the only coopera-
tive efforts of segregationists to
fight back the steady advance of
integration has been in Congress
where the southern bloc has scored
notable successes in sidetracking,
modifying or defeating civil rights
Legislation.
Otherwise each state and each
local community has been left to
fight its battles alone often in
adequately prepared and usually
at great expense.
Southern Unity To Keep JimcrO
The first step aimed at South
ern unity" came two weeks ago
when representatives of twenty
eight cities in ten states met at
Baton Rouge, La, to organize the
Southwide Municipal Conference.
North Carolina was the only state
of the Old Confederacy not repre-
sented.
This was followed by a confer
ence of four Governors and other
high officials from eight Southern
states at Jackson, Miss. The meet

Conference, which meets in Sep
tember.
Second Meeting Planned
A second meeting of the con-
servative Governors, lieutenant
governors and attorneys general Is
scheduled within sixty days in
Montgomery, Ala, following study
of the proposals made at Jackson.
No formal ties apparently bind
the new state and municipal
groups. However, some of their
objectives are markedly similar
and their leadership comes from
essentially the same factions.
One common goal, implied al
though unstated, is the preserva-
ton of racial segregation. Others
include the restriction of Federal
powers and more rapid economic
development.
Another purpose of the munich
pal conference is to provide the
framework in which the attitudes
and thinking of the people in the
municipalities of the South may
be made known to our Represent
atives in Congress"
A similar plan for bringing
pressure on Southern Congression-
al delegations to support conserva-
tive legislation was proposed but
not acted upon at the Jackson
meeting.

The municipal conference appar-
emily has a much broader base Of
support than the state group.

Aid to Transit

President Kennedy, as anticipated,
has sent to the House "a more modest
urban transportation bill than the
Senate already has adopted as part of
the omnibus housing measure. His
arguments for doing so make sense.
AS approved by the Senate, the bill
urges (D $100 million in loans to local
areas to buy transit equipment and
facilities, (2) $50 million in grants for
transit demonstration projects, and (3)
the authority to use urban planning
grants (on two-thirds Federal, one
third local baSis) for the purpose of
transit planning.
Mr.. Kennedy's "first-step" proposal,
as he termed it, calls for a more
limited program Of matching grants for
demonstration and planning, without
large-Scale loans or grants for capital
Improvements at this time. If Congress
so desires, the President said he also
would go along with temporary one
year authority" for emergency" loans
to few metro areas which are able to
demonstrate especially urgent problems.
In applying the brakes, however, Mr.
Kennedy made clear that he is not
acting out of hostility to the concept of
broad Federal assistance for mass
transit development. He simply wants
to await the completion of study of
the proper forms of aid before rushing
into major program of loans and
grants. Surely this is reasonable. Mr.
Kennedy promises that the study will
be completed this fall, and that firm
proposals for stepped-up program will
be made early next year. In the mean
time, his more limited program will
enable cities to make necessary prepara-
tions. In this respect, Mr.. Kennedy
wisely asserts that two absolute
requisites" for Federal aid will be the
development and approval of COM
prehensive transit plans and the ex-
istence of suitable organization re-
presenting all, or substantially all, of
the local governmental units in the
metropolitan areas"
Meanwhile, the fate of the PreSi-
dents proposal in the House is uncertain.
The House version of housing bill, as
reported by the Banking Committee,
contains no transit provisions, nor are
any expected to be added on the House
floor. There is a chance, however, that
the House may agree to some transit
provision during the conference on the
housing bill. That chance will be
greatly enhanced if separate House
hearings are held in the meantime. We
hope, therefore, that the administration
bill is speedily referred to the Banking
subcommittee headed by Representative
Multer of New York, who has announced
that he would call immediate hearings.

Anyone's EIiqibIe

In the Associated Press
article headlined "37 Repub-
hcans Holding Jobs on New
Frontier" there appears the
following sentence, referring
to the United States Civil
Service Commission: "The
law says Mr.. Kennedy will
have to name a Republican
to this place." Similar state
ments have appeared from
time to time in other articles,
including some by Joseph
Young.
If the writer's of these ar
ticleS had taken the trouble
to look up the law, they
would have learned that the
law says nothing of the sort.
The law (The Civil Service
Act of 1889, says only that
not more than two members
of the Commission may be
from the same party. So far
as the law is concerned, Mr..
Kennedy may name a Social
ist. or a ProhibitioniSt, or
even an independent to the
vacancy on the Commission.
The law does not say that he
must name a Republican.
