considerable progress has been

"Other actions have been taken
in the field of public interstate

been taken to desegregate bus, rail-

of these terminals have now been

"Other progress has been made

There is, however, still need
for Legislative action, particularly
in the areas of civil rights and

THE Constitution remains as a
symbol of our basic belief in the

ing yourself and supporting Gov
crnOr Andersens position that by
amending the Constitution of the
State of Minnesota, you would
benefit the Northern part of the
state, increase employment and in
crease the production of Taconite.
Haven't Convinced The Public
These are all missionary and up
to the present time, neither you
nor the Governor have convinced
the thinking public it will make
any difference in the further pro-
duCtion of Taconite AS a matter of
fact, it may retard it. No one has
yet said with confidence that it
would increase employment and
bring more benefits than they now
have. There have been a great
many maybes but no factual state
ments. Why don't you ask the steel
corporations and the other large
holders Of land what they actually
propose to do under favorable con-
ditions instead of what they may
be will do?
Subsidies: May Set Dangerous
Precedent
"On the question of benefits, we
do not recall that you have written
any editorials on this subject, but
we have constantly seen in the
of the United States,
and more particularly in the North,
attacks on the South for making
valuable free sites and free build
ings and no taxes for the purpose
of enticing industry into their cit
les and states. In other words, they
have offered a subsidy to any bus
mess which would move into their
area. We are confident you have
been opposed to this, as we have
talked to some of your people. So
if it is wrong to substitute industry
and use the taxpayers for the bene-
fit of industry, why isn't it just as
wrong to clutter up the constitu-
ton with amendments, which may
be meaningless now, and have an
entirely different meaning in 20I
years Might it not also be setting
a dangerous precedent?
you have made a great play on
taxes. Evidently you are not fam
liar with all the facts, or if you
are, you do not care to state them.
In our opinion, we believe it
can truthfully be said that the
TaConite industry has been most
favorably treated by the citizens
of the State of Minnesota. The
industry has had benefits which no
other industry has had, one of
which has been the right of taking

important shift now developing in
the attitudes of many Southern
whites toward the question of seq
regation. After year of often in
tense racial strife - climaxed by
the recent arrest of more than 700
marching and praying Negro dem
onstrators in Albany, Ga.-a grow
ing number of Dixie whites are
resigning themselves to the newt
ability of indignation. Some whites
once adamantly opposed to any in
tegration are even assuming ac-
tive roles in efforts to make the
transition as smooth as possible.
This change in Southern atti-
tudes was made abundantly clear
in recent days in Wall Street Jour
nal interviews with scores of bus
inessmen, government officials, Ne
gro and white leaders, students and
men-in-the-street in six Dixie
states. Though the sit-ins, freedom
rides, boycotts and mass marches
have churned up fresh bitterness
in race relations in some communi-
ties, such as Jackson, Miss, and
New Orleans the demonstrations
more often have convinced South
ern whites that the segregation
fight is futile and the time for
compromise has arrived.
THE demonstrations have caus-
ed a thinning in the ranks of the
hard-core opposition to integra-
tion," declares A. P. Tureaud; legal
counsel for the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Col
ored People in Louisiana. Many
whites who had opposed integra-
ton on the grounds that more time
was needed are gradually coming
to the realization that it's here and
it should be handled in the best
way possible. The significant thing
is that a middle ground is develop
ing for those whites who are ready
to accept Indignation, however re-
luctantly." ,
A Texas Town Acquiesces
Marlin L. Brockette, white SUI
perintendent of schools in the
southern Texas industrial city of
Orange, voices much the same
sentiment. Generally, our folks
have accepted Indignation as a
fact" the school official declares.
Orange so far has not been the
scene of any Indignation demon
stration, but "if the local Negroes
felt indignation was just marking
time, a push would probably be
made and most of us wouldn't be
indignant at ALL" says Mr.. Brock
cite.
The signs of compromise are Of
ten subtle. For example in Orange,
where about 25% of the &c, 900 resi-
dents are Negro, the "colored'
signs on service station restrooms
have come down in recent weeks
without incident. The Orange Mem
