The Move to the Cities-A
National Problem

There is good deal of irony and material for
grave in the fact that at this point in the
history of the American Negro, his very success in
aspiring to and better standards and the deter
mination of reactionary southerners to block him,
creating battling problems in some Of cities.
Somebody has said that what this country
needs is Point Four program for Mississippi and
Alabama This might be translated to mean meas
that would slow down migrations to the north
ern industrial cities to numbers that these cities
can absorb more effectively and more humanely.
The migrations from the South and from Puerto
Rico have been battling to the cities They have also
resulted in dsappointments 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 new to the ways Of
New York, unable to speak up for themselves and
exploited by racketeering organizers work for as
little as $32 week THE ones we interviewed could
not understand what was 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 a week was nearly impos-
sible in New York in any other industrial COM
munty"
1t is true today and it will continue to be true
that INSCRIPTIONS, thoughtless and prejudced in
dividuals point to the results of this exploitation
in support of racist arguments.
The problem is a national one and calls for
much more attention on the part of the federal
government.

Welcome Investigation?

The attention being directed to Minneapolis
city and county ails 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 similar in
vestigation of the St. Paul Jail? Or don't the Ram
sey county authorities want this? We suspect that
an Independent investigation would show conditions
in the st. Paul Jail much than in Minneapolis
There may be a tendency to discount the i'm
portance of providing decent, clean quarters proper
food opportunities for exercise and recreation be-
of the popular understanding that these jails
temporary detention quarters, where a prisoner
is held for a few hours a few days while making
bail or awaiting trial This is mistake.
Actually many prisoners held for weeks
and months in these quarters. And this news
paper pointed out recently it happen that after
months of Imprisonment under appallingly inhu-
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
(the prisoner with funds can usually make bail) he
subsists on the appalling prison fare, has no OPP
portunity for exercise facilities for recreation
not reading-Ittle or no 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 an independent investigation might establish
the facts in this with respect to St Paul.
These jails were not intended for prolonged in
generation Holding prisoners In them for week:
and months is an indictment Of the courts and the
prosecutors-a measure Of their indifference anC
inefficiency.
1t is important to remember that the victims OF

Logic

The sanctimonious utterances of some Republic
can spokesman and their newspaper apologists in
the post-mortems the Urban Affairs cabinet
department getting to be pretty thick and pref
ty tiresome.
Their insistence that President Kennedy raised
the racial issue by announcing that an eminent
American who happens to be Negro was sched-
ued for the post is piece of nside-out 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 1t will
be done often again. The fact that our friends
squirm 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 are still tallSing-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 us note we'll and remember
long who these gentlemen are.

Score Andersen l; ROlvaag 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 was
it made each of them sound less than statesmen
Karl Rolvaggs criticism of Andersen's tour Of
the Indian reservations was certainly a campaign
blunder If
Governor Andersen then proceeded to pull a
boner to equal the Rolvaag inconsistency by sug-
costing 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 Andersens
interest brings to public attention long pitifully
neglected 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 it has done less than should have to alleviate
the deplorable conditions under which the Indians
live, the discrimination against them, Is not polt-
ically motivated We believe Leut-Gov. Rolvaag
knows this too.
On the other side OF the coin few businessmen
Of any consequence in this state will subscribe to
Gov Andersen's position that Senator Hubert Hum
phrey has failed to assist In securing government
contracts for this state. In fact his constant at
tention to the wants and needs Of Minnesota in
dustry is notable and Is Of the reasons why so
many business men damn him family during
campaign time because he Is a Democrat but cast
their votes for him. Mccarthy has only been US
senator for short period but we are reasonably
he does everything he can to bring government
dollars back to this state, to bolster the states
employment and economy
We hope the statements Of Andersen and Roll
vaag on these two matters do not represent the

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-
tons, 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 (1s30-45).
They gradually extended their in
fluence southwark with the pur-
pose of forming a junction with
their possessions on the Senegal.
The acquisition Of TrInisia 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
1t 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.

Africa
PRIME MINISTER Harold Mac
milan appointed Home Secretary
r. A. Butler as a kind Of big
white chief for the complex and
critical affairs in the faltering
Federation Of Rhodesia and Nya-
saland. There was indignation
from some Of the ight-wing Tor
les who support Sir Roy Welensky,
federal prime minister. They saw
Buffers appointment as a rebuff
for Welensky. But in Salisbury,
Sir Roy is reported welcoming
Buffers appointment as a highly
significant move which could lead
to a greater appreciation in Lon
don Of the Federation's special
problems. Some members of the
House Of Commons charge Mac
milan with appointing Butler be-
cause of being quite unable to
make up his mind about what to
do with the Federation. Butler is
also deputy prime minister.
THE GOVERNMENT of Eth
opia has officially announced that
1t will subscribe to 100000 of
United Nations bonds. Ethiopia,
which has supported the UN Con-
go mission, has an estimated 5000
combat troops in the former Bel
gian colony.
INVESTMENT CLUBS, which
continue to catch on like wildfire
in the United States, are springing
