Inside-Out Logic

The sanctimonious utterances of some Republi-
can spokesmen and their newspaper apologists in
the post-mortems the Urban Affairs cabinet
department getting to be pretty thick and pret-
ty tiresome.
Their insstence that President Kennedy raised
the racial issue by announcing that eminent
American who happens to be a Negro was sched-
uled for the post is piece of insdeou logic of the
kind we have come to expect from these gentry.
Why should not the President reveal his in
tentions with regard to appointment of this i'm
portance? 1t has been done often before and it will
be done often again. The fact that friends
squrm about it indicates quite clearly that the
racial" issue is very much part of their approach
to political questions. They were afraid to vote on
the issue-a cabinet department of urban affairs
They had to talk about the racial" issue in con-
nection with 1t.
They still talking-beg pardon screaming
about it. They, not the President are making a
racial" issue Of the matter We hope they keep
right on screaming. Let note well, and remember
long, who these gentlemen

Welcome Investigation?

The attention being directed to Minneapolis,
city and county jails will be welcomed by everybody
who is concerned about mans unhumanity to man.
Investigations recently made confirm the general
impression that conditions there are very very bad
While this is going on, why not a similar in
vestigation of the St Paul Jail? Or don't the Ram
sey county authorities want this? We suspect that
independent investigation would show conditions
in the ST. Paul Jail much worse than in Minneapolis
There may be tendency to discount the i'm
portance OF providing decent clean quarters, proper
food opportunities for exercise and recreation be-
cause of the popular understanding that these jails
temporary detention quarters, where a prisoner
is held for a few hours or few days while making
bail awaiting trial This is a mistake.
Actually many prisoners are held for weeks
and months in these quarters. And as this news
paper pointed out recently it happen that after
months of Imprisonment under appallngly inhu-
name conditions it is found that the prisoner is
innocent, after all.
If he has funds, he is usually allowed to send
out for decent food and for reading material to
pass the time If he hasn't which is usually the case
(the prisoner with funds can usually make baiD he
subsists the appalling prison fare, has no op-
portunity for exercise facilities for recreation
not reading-litte contact with the out
side world. In Minneapolis relieved to learn
from the Investigators the jailers generally adopt
humane attitude toward their prisoners. We wish
that Independent investigation might establish
the facts in this area with respect to ST. Paul.
These jails not intended for prolonged in,
generation. Holding prisoners in them for weeks
and months is an indictment of the courts and the
prosecutors-a measure of their Indifference anC
nefficiency.

The Move to the Cities
National Problem

There is a good deal of irony, and material for
grave concern in the fact that at this point in the
history of the American Negro, his very success in
aspiring to new and better standards and the deter
mination of reactionary southerners to block him.
are creating battling problems in some of our cities
Somebody has said that what this country
needs is Point Four program for Mississippi and
Alabama This might be translated to mean meas
ures that would slow down migrations to the north
industrial cities to numbers that these cities
can absorb effectively and more humanely
The migrations from the South and from Puerto
Rico been battling to the cities They have also
resulted in diSappontments, Illustrations, and worse
among the migrants. The cities have not been pre-
pared to accept them in the numbers going north
and the migrants have not been prepared for the
cities. Nevertheless they obviously find them pre-
ferable to Alabama and Mississippi
The result is tragic overcrowding of available
housing and brutal exploitation of the migrants in
rentals in employment and in many other ways.
Robert F. Kennedy, in his book THE Enemy With
in" relates how these people, to the ways of
New York, unable to speak up for themselves and
exploited by racketeering organizers work for as
little as S32 week. The ones we interviewed could
not understand what happening to them. They
only knew that they were faced with severe hard
ships and that providing food and clothing for a
family on less than $40 week was nearly impos-
sible in New York in any other industrial COM
munity."
1t is true today and it will continue to be true
that INSCRIPTIONS, thoughtless and prejudiced in
dviduals point to the results of this exploitation
in support of racist arguments.
The problem is a national and calls for
much attention the part of the federal
government.

Score Andersen |; ROIvaag l

The two principal candidates for Minnesota
governor both got off doozies" last week. 1t might
have been the advent of spring but whatever it
it made each of them sound less than statesmen.
Karl Rolvagg's criticism of Andersens tour of
the Indian reservations certainly campaign
blunder if we one.
Governor Andersen then proceeded to pull
boner to equal the Rolvaag inconsistency by sug-
gestng that Senators Hubert H. Humphrey and
Eugene Mccarthy have done very little to bring
government contracts to Minnesota.
The problems of the Indians have long needed
attention at the governorship level and Andersen's
interest brings to public attention long pitifully
neglected area and group of citizens, about which
something should be done.
Anyone who knows Andersen knows his inter-
est in reminding the state and Federal government
that has done less than it should have to alleviate
the deplorabe conditions under which the Indians
live the discrimination against them, is not poIt-
caly motivated. We believe Aeut-Gov. Rolvaag
knows this too.

will notably be to develop the in
fra-structure necessary for the ex-
ploitation of the subsoil, to give
advice on mining bills and regula-
tions, and to examine demands
concerning the granting of mining
concessions.
The Algerian state will deliver
the mining titles and will enact
ministerial legislation in full SOW
ereignty. This program for de-
velopment of the sub-soil covers
the existing departments of the
Gases and Saoura. French inter-
ests will notably be assured by
the existing rights attached to
mining concessions granted by
France in accordance with the
rules of the Sahara oil code such
as exists at present. French
companies will be given prefer
ence in the case of equal offers
in the granting Of new mining
permits, according to provisions
provided for by Algerian mining
legislation.
THE FRENCH first acquired
an interest in the Sahara by their
conquest of Algiers (1830-45)
They gradually extended their in
fluence southwark with the pur-
pose of forming a junction with
their possessions on the Senegal.
The acquisition of Tunisia in 1881
largely increased Frances hold on
the Sahara. The work of French
pioneers to the south of Algeria
was recognized by the Anglo
French agreement of 1890, which
assigned to France the whole cent
raj Sahara from Algeria to a line
from Say, on the Niger, to Lake
Chad. An Algerian independence,
from a historical standpoint, will
bring an end to 1872 years of
French rule.
SOME HISTORIANS have at
tempted to trace in certain of the
existing inhabitants the remnants
of an early race of Negro affinit-
les, which inhabited the Sahara
before the arrival of the Berbers
and Arabs. The Encyclopedia Brit
annica points out that Negro in
fluence is undoubtedly seen in
various parts of the Sahara, but
it may date from a much more
recent period than has been sup
posed, 1t appears that historians
and scholars on Africa and the
Sahara are yet to agree on the
original and early inhabitants Of
the area.
