ALTHouGH his race is growing steadily
0 populatOn-Wise and lynChingS are becom-
ing as rare as hens teeth, the American Negro
is going the way of the u. S. Indian. He is van
ishing from the American scene. The phenom-
enon is due neither to "BaCk to Africa"
migration nor trickery from white Dixie witch
doctors. 1t is the result of the processes of
ntegaton which, at last, are Channeing the
Negro into the mainstream of American life.
A resident of these shores since 1919, the
Negro is just beginning to taste the fruits of the
American tree of life although they are still
ratoned and often bitter. Even so, he is reap
ing a harvest which never ripened for the Indian
who originally held title to all orchards on this
continent.
For years the situation of the Negro and
Indian had striking parallels. As Americas
oldest minorities, both suffered more than any
other group of u. S. citizens. Together they
witnessed the white man at his worst and were
denied the right to the pursuit of happiness on
equal terms with whites.
The cavalier treatment of Negroes and lnd-
ans by the white man has been such as to stamp
the majorty race with dishonor. The Negro has
been suppressed through discrimination segre-
cation and intimidation; the Indian Subdued
through broken treaties and-robbing, CONNER
cial SWindles and masSaCreS. As a result, there
grew up in this country system that denied the
Negro and Indian the rights and prerogatives
which the Declaration of independence declared
the privileges Of all men.
One of the great facts of U.S. history land
a major asset in the fight for equality, is that
the Negro no matter how iII-used, has remained
deeply loyal to the U.S.. This was not the case
with the Indian, who feeling strong ly that he
had been deprived of his own land, often Warred
against the government. Some Indian tribes
were wiped out, others banished to reservations.
As different races came together and lived in
the same territory, inter.breeding occurred in
spite of barriers erected by social prejudice.
So it was that many Indian tribes shrunk, lost
their identity and merged after infusion Of white
and Negro blood.
Miscegenation also started the Negro on the
road to becoming a vanishing American. In the
slave regime of the Old South there was more
or less open appropriation of Negro women to
serve the physical cravings Of their white mas
tiers. Although inter-maHiage was prohibited by
law, the slave owners did not overlook the
opportunity of turning Negroes into mulattoeS.
The extent to which the practice was carried on

makeup. Their shades of color vary from black
to white, with tnts Of yellow, brown and red in
between. Some hair is straight, some wavy,
some woody. Many noses are thin and pointed,
others wide and flat; some lips noticeaby mar
row, others thick and droopy.
Each year, according to sociological re-
ports, $4,000 Iight-skinned Negro Americans
vanish into the white world. BY passing" as
whites they no longer have to eat bread in
bachoom, but may enjoy cake in cafeteria
otherwise off limits to their race.
It is fact that many Of the people called
Negroes are AngIo-Saxon, French, German and
italian - moreSo than many European natives.
Likewise, many persons cIassed as Negroes are
more Asiatic-appearing than pure bred Chinese,
Japanese, Philippines and Indians. These
differences in Negro types have led number
of anthropologsts to suspect that the U. S.
population figures would drop below the ten
million mark if only "Negro-Iooking' Negroes
were counted by census takers.
Negroes are vanishing in other ways. For
example, the Negro artists, SportSmen and lead
ers are now thought Of as craftsmen first and
Negroes second. Not many years ago Marian
Anderson was hailed as the Great Negro con-
tralto. Today she is known to the world as the
"Great American ContraIto." Dr.. Ralph Bunche
has finally achieved the status Of an "Amercan
diplomat" after years Of Identification as the
"coIored political scientist"
There are those who will argue that the
Negro, as Americas largest minority is gaining
strength year by year as he Wests from the
white fellow desk in a school, seat in
restaurant, a job in an office. Little do they
recognize that as political economic and ed
ucatonaI determinations vanish, the Negro
loses some Of his identity. With integraton,
he becomes a player on the team instead Of
curious spectator looking on from the sideines.
These extremely American forces operating
both in north and south, are causing a major
revolution in the lives of both whites and their
former slaves. This upheaval is the most hope
full change in the u. S. since LinCOln'S Eman-
cipation Proclamation unshackled the Negro
nearly century ago.
The most hopeful fact about Negro progress
is that it could not have been possible without
a tremendous moral progress on the part OF

Leaving 0cracoke one may travel
north by ferry to Hatteras, the
next island in the chain. Here, the
Gulf Stream, only IL miles away,
leaves its influence on the climate
by giving it more frost free days
than any coastal region north of
Florida.
Here are the famous Diamond
Shoals, feared and respected by
sailors for many years. The shoals
have become known as the "Grave-
yard of the Atlantic" since the
days Of sailing vessels when ship
wrecks along this coast were nu-
merous. AS one looks across the
shoals from the Cape he may see
ocean currents meeting at the tip
to draw strange and dangerous de-
signs in the treacherous water
there. Often the uninterrupted
breakers make herring bone pat
tern off the beach. Below these
beautiful patterns the shoals wait
for storm winds and water to grind
unwary ships to bits and toss them
on the sand.
Walking down the beach one may
find the remains Of vessels unfor-
tunate enough to get caught in this
death grip. It was on Diamond
Shoals that the ghost ship Carroll
A. Deering was found in 1921. The

first English colony in the new
world. At the Fort Raleigh Ma
tional Historic Site, the Federal
government has provided visitor ia
cilities and an historic interpreta-
tive program.
Fort Raleigh became a National
Historic Site in 1941. Within the
10 acre area, parts of the settle
ment sites and the fort are includ-
ed. The fort was explored archeo-
logically in 1947-4S and was re-
stored in 1860. The village site,
presumably close to the fort, has
not yet been found. Many articles
found during the fort excavations
are displayed with other items of
historic interest in the visitor CEN
ter near the fort.
The worlds Oldest American
outdoor production, Paul Green's
symphonic drama, The Lost Colony,
is presented in Waterside Theater
here. With song, dance and script
the play tells a story of the Eng

10th century. The first. act begins
in 1854 when Sir Walter Raleigh,
under the jurisdiction of Queen
Elizabeth, sent explorers to find a
site for colonization in America.
Roanoke Island was discovered and
explored. The following year an
expedition led by Sir Richard Gren-
vile established a colony. Later,
however, the colonists became dis
couraged and returned to England
with Sir Francis Drake, who stop

from the West Indies.

English child born in America, was
born. Governor Of the colony, John
White, returned to England for
supplies. The Spanish Armada's at
tack on England kept him from
returning and his relief ships did
mot get back for four years. When
they arrived the colony has disap-
peared, leaving no trace. The 400
year old mystery has never been
been solved.
In presenting the story, a cast

Also at Fort Raleigh is the
Thomas Hariot trail, a winding
path through woodlands to Roa-
noke Sound and back. The trail is
named after an eminent scientist
Of the 1887 expedition who first
wrote about natural history in the
New World.
Adjacent to Fort Raleigh is the
Elizabethan Garden, a project spon-
sored by the Garden Clubs of North
Carolina.
Another federal project on the
Outer Banks is the Wright Broth

Here, at the birthplace of avia-

1927 created the Memorial. The
park contains 425 acres and was
named after the Wright Brothers
in 1868.
The monument is a triangular
pylon Of North Carolina gray gran

Texas Lineup

Navy Secretary John B. Connally'S
announcement that he Is a candidate for
the 1862 Democratic nomination for
Governor of Texas suggests that politi-
cally aStute Vice President Lyndon
Johnson is about to attempt re-
modelling Of party operations in the
Lone Star State.
From the Democratic viewpoint, the
need has become evident. Except for
its Republican presidential vote in 1928,
Texas had been steadfaSt in its post
Civil War loyalty to the Democratic
Party until it backed the Eisenhower
Nixon tickets in 1852 and 1856. 1t re-
turned to Democratic ranks by only a
relatively narrow margin in 1860, even
though its own Mr.. Johnson was second
man on the ticket. Throughout the past
decade, however, there have been other
signs of growing Republican strength
in the State. The Democrats for =
Eisenhower movement was one showing
of this sentiment, but the most dramatic
came last spring when Republican John
Tower won a special election for the
Senate seat vacated by Mr.. Johnson
himself
FactionaliSm within the Democratic
Party has played its part in this trend,
and the fact that Democrats for EiSen-
hover no longer is an appropriate label
for diSSenterS does not mean they have
returned to party regularity. Even
Democratic Governor Price Daniel, who
hoc IT,La bo I1yin
run again, has strayed at times from
the reservation.
With the death of Speaker Rayburn,
Mr.. Johnson, longtime protege and
associate of the Speaker is the Number
One Democrat of the State. And 1t will
not be surprising If he is grooming Mr.
Connally as his own top-ranking part
ner. The relationship between the two
has been close since Mr. Johnson first
ran successfully for the House of Repre-
SentativeS in a special election in 1887.
Through most OF the years since, Mr..
Connally, still only A, has been legis-
lative or political aide of the Vice
President, now SO, and the latter. was
Mr.. Connally's sponsor for appointment
to the Navy post. Along with his politi-
cal activities, Mr.. Connally has been
legal representative of some of the
States big oil intereSts-a qualification
that may be greatly helpful in his bid
for elective office. If Mr. Connally wins
the nomination and the election, the

Labor Says No

If President Kennedy ever really ex-
pected much from his appeals for
voluntary restraint in wage and other
coSt-booSting demands, he knows better
now. For the answer which has come
from the AFL-CIO convention amounts
to blunt rejection.
The delegates at Miami Beach voted
without dissent in favor of another
round of wage hikes, a shorter work
week without reduction in pay, sub
Stantially more paid vacations, holidays
and other paid leisure time, plus an
"eXpanSionary Federal budget policy"
which means more Government Spehd-
ing. If the price level is to remain stable,
1T is industry labor says, which must
hold the line
All of this flies in the teeth of the
Presidents recommendations and con-
fronts him-and the country-with a
most serious challenge. For despite the
arguments which labor advances
chiefly that higher pay means greater
purchasing poWer-the policies which
have been indorSed, if successfully i'm
posed on the economy, will surely lead to
higher prices, more initiation, and
probable disaster for the kind of inter-
national trade program which Mr.. Ken
nedy says is essential to Americas
economic future.
Needless to say, if Mr.. Kennedy's
appeals were advanced seriously, this
must come as a severe blow to his hopes.
Labor has been one of his main bases Of
political support and 1t will be very
difficult, politically speaking, for him
to meet this challenge with effective
action. But Mr.. Kennedy is President
of all the United States. His obligation
runs to the Nation, not to any particular
segment, and the country will be watch
ing to see how he discharges this
responsibility.

'SIobberinq Idiots?

In his address the other day to
the National Association of Manufac-
turerS, Chairman Glenn T. Seaborg of
the Atomic Energy Commission spoke
of many things. These included the
possibility of nuclear war and decades
long program to prevent such a war
through unstinting efforts to keep
American science, technology, industry
and education at the highest level,
second to none. On the harder line, the
line of possible military conflict, Dr.
Seaborg had this to say:
by all measures, our first respon-
Sibility is the development and manu-
facture of atomic weapons for our
Nations nuclear deterrent. This re-
sponsibility is fixed by the Atomic
Energy Act, which declares that: The
development, use, and control of atomic
energy shall be directed so as to
make the maximum contribution to
the general welfare, subject at all
times to the paramount objective of
making the nGTimum contribution to
the common defense and security. 80"
The italics have been supplied by
DR.. Seaborg himself in the printed text
of his address. Clearly enough, even
as we strive for the highly promising
peaceful uses of nuclear explosions in
such undertakings as Project Gnome,
we had better test militarily as well.
Anyhow, Premier Khrushchev has just
said-in defending the Kremlin's tor
pedoing of the testing moratorium
that he and his colleagues would have
been "Slobbering idiots" had they ad-
hered to such ban instead Of set
ting off some so detonations, during
recent weeks, in the very high mega
ton range.
This seems to us to be something
that speaks for itself. What it says
is that our country, for the sake of its
security and very survival, had better
stop being lackadaiSical in this field,
had better forget about world opin-
ion" that doesn't count much even if
it exists (Which is doubtfuD, and had
better get on with the grim task
of teSting-in whatever medium and
with whatever intensity and magni-
tude may be deemed neceSSary-to
safeguard America. To do less than
this, or to hesitate in doing it, would
be sheer suicidal folly.
