A Shot At The Heart OF Democracy

The responsible citizens of Mississippi, of both
races must have read with heavy hearts the

Federal Troops And Mississippi
Race Relations

The report comes from his home up in Cleve-
land, Ohio that Bishop Spottswood of the Colored
Methodist Episcopal Church, in his capacity as
Chairman of the Board of the National Association
for the Advancement of Coored People, has called
upon President Kennedy to send more federal
troops to Mississippi to protect Negroes in their
efforts to obtain the full rights of citizenship in the
state.
We are in total disagreement with Bishop
Spottswood and the NAACP in demanding that
more federal troops be sent to the state for more
than one reason.
In the very first place, as Negro resident
of Mississippi having some knowledge of it's his
tory and traditions, refuse to agree with the
wisdom and conclusion of those Negroes no matter
how broad the aura by which they are surrounded,
who, living away off up north somewhere and
boasting that they would live in Mississippi
under any condition, prescribing remedies under
which Negroes who make their homes in the state
must spend their daily lives.
In the second place, if the sending of federal
troops to Mississippi has become the only way for
Negroes OF the state to obtain and enjoy the full
rights of citizenship which we do not now see as
the case democracy, as we'll as morality, in the
United States is already dead; and such rights
thus obtained, would last just so long as the pres
ence of troops remained, and would be swept away,
with more devastating repercussions Immediately
upon their withdrawal. This is a point amply
supported by every student of southern history.
We suggest to Bishop Spottswood that his
ability to pass judgement in regard to Mississippi
and Mississippi Negroes, would be greatly enhanced
6y thorough and immediate study of the post Civil
War Reconstruction History of the state lest his
advice to President Kennedy force Negroes to en-
dure another Tragic Era
We say to President Kennedy in regard To
Bishop Spottswood and the NAACP demand, that
the future OF race-relations in Mississippi, and
thereby in the rest of the nation will he hest serv
ed not by sending more federal troops to the state
but by seeking means for the early withdrawal of
those already in the state.

whether Mississippi Gov. Ross
R. Barnett has complied with
court orders in the James H.
Meredith desegregation case.
The department said appoint
ment of master was necessary
because Mr.. Barnett, while con-
tended he is not in contempt
of court "did not present any
specific evidence of what spe-
cific actions he had taken to
purge himself of contempt.
The U. S, Court of Appeals for
the Fifth Circuit here found Mr..
Barnett in contempt for his part in
blocking the enrolment of Mr..
Meredith, a Negro. at the Univer-
sity of Mississippi.
The court set the Governors
possible punishment at $10,0OO-a-
day fine imprisonment until he
had purged himself, but has not
imposed any penalty.
The Justice Department, in a
memorandum filed with the Court
of Appeals has stated it realized
the appointment Of master would
delay the courts final evidence.
But inaaluch as Mfr. Meredith

the Governor has ceased overt
interference, the need for quick

JOSEPH F. ALBRIGHT

One Sunday afternoon in my
mothers home in Ell Paso, Tex,
we were being honored with the
presence Of the late Booker T.
Washington. Mama had invited
a group Of her friends in to
meet the immortal educator,
who was then at the zenith Of
his brilliant career. l, as a
small awe-stricken boy, was sit
ting in mama's lap /. listen
ing raptly to the quiet flow Of
the great mans voice.
A statement he made on that
memorable day, long ago, needs
to be repeated NOW over and
over gain: "Whosoever wears
the shining cloak of gentility
seldom receives less than sin
cere respect and admiration
from all with whom they come
in contact"
Throughout the all too short
time we spent together before
her passing, mama constantly
recalled that gem Of wisdom,
reminding me in her own words
that manners will take you
where money never can" Every
day Of my life, I, in my public
associations, have had reason
to be grateful for this lesson.
In Bruce Barton's excellent
book, "The Man Nobody Knows"

picts the Human" side Of the

that Jesus was the perfect gen.

existence on this earth, from

His divine approval upon gen.

The first yes, the VERY

become worthy Of that accept
ance. The respect and favor Of
others can never be achieved
through mere insistence, no
matter what form that insist

applicant for the WRONG pro-
ject. Also, he ruled that "the
Federal Power Act does not give
preference rights to public
owned electric systems over priv
ate systems in granting licenses
to build dams on the peoples
rivers.
That ruling contradicts not
only the law itself, but also the
expressed opinion of the FPC
staff which studied the rival ap-
plications, the ECIC said. If the
FPC allows its examiners ruling
to stand, it will set a precedent
for further gigantic giveaways
of public dam sites to private
monopolies."
So far as blocking salmon
runs, the ECIC said, it would
make no difference whether a
public body or a private power
combine built dam at the
Mountain Sheep site. In approx
ing a Mountain Sheep license for
the private combine, the examin-
er simply wrote off the salmon
runs on the main Snake River
and the Immaha River. on the
ground that fewer fish would be
affected" than by a Nez Perce
dam.
Hells Canyon Again?
Actually, the ECIC added, the
fish passage problems at both
dam sites "are similar, and are
the subject of an Interior De-
partment research program. Un-
til it is completed, nobody can
say whether or how much sal
mon runs would be blocked by
a dam at either site"
The ECIC said the examiners
ruling is being appealed to the
Federal Power Commission, now
consisting Of five members ap-
pointed by President Kennedy.
The ECIC quoted 1860 cleo
ton campaign speech in which
Kennedy said he will not stand
by and permit another blunder
like that at Hells Canyon.
There, the Eisenhower Admin
istration rejected public high
dam project on the same Snake
River, and permitted private
utility concern to build two low
dams which. provide only about
half as much power and water
storage as would have been pro
vided by the public-owned dam.
