mattum 70 the people OF California
that they would not be welcome
to the sagebrush state In the event
Of a nuclear attack.
This was an astounding an
nouncement when one views in
retrospect the numerous ads in all
California papers telling Of the
Injuries offered to California suck
ers by the Nevada casinos in order
to get them to come to Nevada To
lose their money at gambling.
A later dispatch told residents
Of Southern California that the cit
liens Of Bakersfield would herd
all of them into the Wristbands OF
the Mojave Desert II they came
northward In the event that some
nervous individual In the Kremlin
would release a bomb from Russia
toward the general area Of Los
Angeles.
In other words, no one wants
the probable refugees. The wonder
Of 1t all increases when one reads
Of the large area which would fall
within the perimeter Of a fallout,
The distance Of the perimeter OF
fall-out created by an explosion Of
the type Of bombs which are now
in the hands Of our cold-war an
tagonist would cover an area Of
more than 200 square miles.
Manufacturers Of fall-out shelf
ers are now advertising that they
are willing and able 10 build shelf
ers In sizes ranging from those
which can shelter several hundred
people, to those Of family size
which can be constructed In q
backyard.
The builders Of such structures
seem determined to convert the
people into a nation Of borrowers
who would be no different than
the rodents who find the deeper
portions Of the earth q safe place
In which to dwell.
This national hysteria Is play
ing hob with only one segment Of
the people. There Is another seq
ment Of the population who have
always been treated as periahs
who do not share this fear Of des-
truction from the bomb.
Negroes feel that the problems
Of segregation, Unemployment are
far more important than are the
possibilities Of destruction by the
Bomb.
They know that none Of the
bombs are marked with the des-
ignations Of bombs for Negroes OF
bombs for Whites. These bombs
II exploded In the United States
win destroy everyone within theii
perimeters.
Such a moment Of doom would
equalize all Of the people. Thii
Il a most disastrous price 10 pay
for according TO the Negro his juSI
equality; but II seems that Il 4
the only price which the tormentor'
of Negroes win pay.
Negroes feel that they want Il

enjoy all the privileges and glories
Of the United States before the
day Of Shiloh.
They realize that II there were
areas in the country where refu-
gees would be welcomed, those
areas would surely bear a white
Only sign.
The destruction which the Bomb
would inflict on any given city
could not be any worse than the
vermin-infested ghettoes which are
especially reserved as dwelling
places for Negroes.
The national unemployment Rv-
erage, according to the Depart
ment Of Labor, ranges around
seven per cent. The national aver
age for Negroes is five times this
figure. Negroes know that the ma
jority of them who are jobless
want work. But despite this desire
there are some officials, such as
those in Newburgh, New York and
In some areas Of California, who
take the attitude that Negroes
who are on welfare are happy
with their lot and would not work
II offered a job.
Once again in q period Of crisis
in the Nation Negroes are being
ignored by the great majority.
There are no shelter builders sole
iting business from them, be-
cause the builders know that few
Of them have the money for such
purposes.
Negroes want to be a part Of
the Nation without this type Of
hysteria. Perhaps the hysterical
members Of our society should
talk with them. It might help to
allay their fears when they learn
that Negroes are people too and
only ask for simple human dignity.

Little, serving his second term

ful dedication to the potential Of

Here Is what he had to say about

keenly aware that we cannot for
a minute rest on our laurels; the
surface has barely been denied.
The activities Of the last few
years, being outlined in the series
Of articles on the council has simp-

need and potential Of such a COM
munity group. And, perhaps, even
more important, we have seen in
dicated a sign Of community ac-
ceptance - the number Of clubs
affiliated, willing assistance Of es-
tabllshed community groupA etc.
These positive signs. we feel pre-
sent to US a challenge TO develope.
