Men OF Goodwill

Over in Georgia, especially in the CITY of Atlanta,
and inspiring southern history is being made and
the way is being pointed towards and more
progressive south.
In Atlanta, lead by the President of the Chamber
of Commerce, white merchants and Negro leaders have
together and reached agreement which called
for the end of Negro sitns, boycotts and other DEM
onstrations and the end of lunch counter segregation
in downtown stores.
From it's inception the JACKSON ADVOCATE has
been the advocate for responsible white and Negro
leaders working together in mutual respect and good
will for solution of the racial problem in the state
We have also pointed out from time to time, as here
again. that no purely negative attitude, matter how
powerfully backed form the basis for solution to
the problem in this state.
The demand for the abolition of segregation by law
in Mississippi to meet the challenge of the future well
fare of the nation is less urgent than in Georgia
And, in Georgia, in the matter of the prob
lem, there is nothing impossible to white and Negro
men of good will working together in Mississippi.
The Atlanta Journal, one of the souths great daily
had this to say about the reached between
the white merchants and Negro leaders:
The agreement reached between group of down.
town merchants and Negro leaders concerning business
bOycots and the restaurant and lunch counter st-ns
is tribute to the common of those involved
1t should make possible the resumption of normal
business practices should relax racial tensions and pro-
vide considerably favorable atmosphere for the
tions still remaining and which cannot be solved by
ing force dramatcs and bravado instruments of
lasting peace
The compact is monument to those who saw the
great need for peacemakers here and who patiently
worked out the terms of truce acceptable to both
sides.
The end of these many months of picketing and
boycotts is relief to the city and compliment to it,
too. There provocaton the part of extremists
of both sides which could have resulted in trouble but
the moderate majority took these incidents and strains
IN stride confident that common would prevail
and that the old reservoirs of good will between the
races were not exhausted.

Civil Rights And Jobs
The Christian Science Monitor

Franklin Roosevelt initiated the of federal con-
tracts to combat racial discrimination in work performed
for the government. Dwight Eisenhower expanded the
effort under committee headed by Vce-Presdent Nix
on. Now John Kennedy has set up his machinery
for the purpose. It's utility will depend very much
on the spirit in which it is operated.
Civ-rights advocates should not assume that vig-
or will be lacking because the Committee Equal
Employment Opportunity is to be headed by VcePres
dent Johnson. The Texan has a record of practical
steps to advance civil rights, egslatvey and by his
acts. Yet the record of these presidential commit
tees indicates that this faces real problems
Contracts pledging employers not to discriminate
in their hiring have been written before. Now contrac
tors will be asked TO take active against dis
crminaton under threat of cancellation and blacklist
ing. But there visible sanctions against labor
unions which discriminate, and in the past unions have
been among the most stubborn discriminators. The
Secretary of Labor is to be member of the Committee
and much will depend how his agents police federal
contracts
The executive order setting up this committee is
the first action of the Kennedy administration to carry
out strong promises civil rights in the Democratic
platform It had been expected that the President would
find it feasible to in this way than through
legislation which would meet entrenched congress
sonal opposition If this is the administrations main
early civil rights the need to make it effective
is doubly sharp.

In winter driving it is as i'm
portant for motorists to check
shock absorbers as it is to
inspect brakes, tires, batteries,
and radiators, as faulty shock
absorbers can cause six major
difficulties.
The difficulties are: .uncon-
trollable wheel bounce; skid
ding and side-sway; the driver
hitting the top; wheel shim-
my; broken springs; and tire
wear.
The Institute, headquartered
in Chicago, is a not-for-profit
organization representing tn e
automotive industry, and en-
courages the concept of happy
motoring. This concept in
cludes not only having a safe
trip, but an enjoyable one, as
well.
In uncontrollable wheel
bounce the wheels of the car
actually leave the pavement,
causing a dangerous and un-
comfortable condition.
Skidding and side-sway often
cause an upset or collision when
the car is on curve. The bad
shocks can't control the added
weight thrown to the outside
two w h e. els, particularly at
high speeds.
With bad shocks a car can
bounce so violently that the
driver and passengers may hit
the roof and cause serious in
jury and loss of control. Even
if the bounce isn't too severe,
there will be a shimmy or vi
bration in the wheel making it
extremely unpleasant.
Very often broken springs
and worn tires are caused by
faulty shocks. After a car hits
a bump the added weight of
the body crashes down on the
chassis if not absorbed. Fur
thermore, the tires wear faster
by being forced to absorb the
jolts of the cars weight. When
one shock fails, all wheels and
tires are given unbalanced
wear.
There are seven ways the
motorists can check for bad

Commerce, there is Profile in Courage" which
should make great contribution. to southern

Here's what Eugene Patterson columnst for the
