have received from the people Of this community
both Negro, and white and especially those who
have regularly subscribed to the paper.
Our thanks and appreciation also is extended
to those merchants and business firms who the
good business and justice of spending part of their
advertising budget with the Negro community press
In so doing they give support to institution whose
chief purpose is to improve the lot Of the Negro
community which gives the business firms their
patronage. In many instances this is the only man
ner in which some merchants and business firms
may show their interest in and sympathy with the
cause of the local Negro.
There are many to thank for our still being on
the job after the humble beginnings in uncertain
1884. We are glad we are stiIl here and also
glad You are here with US!

The Bully-Boy Instinct

If the victims Of those misnamed reverse free
dom rides" reacted in the spirit in which the
rides were conceived and promoted, they would
turn home and treat their tormentors to horse
whppings they would remember the rest of their
lives.
The victims won't do this, Of course. For one
thing, the victims are obviously respectful of
law and decency than their tormentors. For another
the sponsors Of the rides bullyboys that they are
follow rule that is invariable with bullyboys They
pick victims who defenseless, unable to fight
back In the present cases, they pick victims so
defenseless that they even believe the lies their
tormentors tell them
1t is possible that of the felow-citizens
of the bullyboys promoting these rides do not fully
approve of their activities. Some may deplore
them. 1t would be happy thought to be able to
report that these characters earning for them
selves the fuscale contempt of their fellow towns
people.
Alas 1t is not The bully instinct, the sadistic
pleasure in torture is too deepseated in that part
of the us. These characters bashing in
the amused admiration Of their fellow-hooIgans
And the non-hooligans are hardly saying a word.

The Non-Partisan Highway

In attempting to inject partisan politics into
the state highway mess, both political parties are
way off base, but if were handling the card
we'd have to give the decision to Republican Chair
man Robert Forsythe by wide margin. Apparently
he wishes to take unto his party not only the full
responsibility for the current problems but also the
full burden of the deplorabe personalities involved
in the problem.
On the other hand some of the Democratic
Farmer-Labor leaders who have been leaning into
the 1862 political campaign tired uninspired old
issues, and who have themselves shown no know
ledge of the highway problem and imagination
in dealing with it, have found themseves-Glory Be!
with Cause!
They both wrong The problem the Twin
Cities are face to face with is outside and beyond
partisan politics. and the issue has been raised and
fought by political business and civic leaders of all
political compilations a non-partisan basis The
matter should remain this way Mayor Naftalin is
in this fight to help Minneapolis Governor Andersen
is out to help Minnesota Both were in the fight
before the officiadom Of either party woke up to
it.
Basically our problem is a department of high
way engineers unframed in working with other ele-
ments Of the community, unsympathetic with and
unresponsve to community needs and values affect
ed by highway policies impatient with democratic
decision-malLing, and unwilling to accommodate the
egencies of highway engineering to the discipines
of community planning.
AS a result we find ourselves in trouble We
have enormously costly highway system, capable
of working radical and unpredctable changes in our
central cities which has been projected without
provision for mass public transportation. We find
the cities facing enormous financial and business
losses because the highway construction time table
Is not coordinated with the rest Of the planning We
find battling lack Of response on the part Of the
highway department to these problems
This Is not a sudden thing. It did not develop
overnight, and the sudden discovery Of 1t by our
partisan politicians suggests that they have been
asleep on the job for quite while. What we up
against now has been developing for long time
It began with the state legislature, which Is guilty
of both positive actions and failure to act which
have built up the department powerful, autono-
nous, heavily financed authority that is able to
ignore and even to defy other authority.
Some Of the people now trying to make political
hay out Of the situation share the responsibility fol
what has developed However, this Is time for
political recrimination What is needed Is effec
tive combined effort by all responsible elements In
the community concerned with rational community
planning. We need to resolve the impasse put w
the proper signs and route markers and steer the
highway department onto the right road.

Registration And Voting
Campaign Badly Needed
Here

The Twin City branches of the NAACP missed
bet when they did not sponsor voter registration
drive in the respective communities before the
registration deadline of August FL
The number of Twin City Negroes who are not
registered that they can vote Is a community
scandal and some organization like the NAACP
branches should conduct campaign to improve the
situation.
OF course getting people to register in the
North may be less glamorous and harder work than
complaining because southern Negroes are not al
lowed to vote in Dixie, but it is job that must be
undertaken.
The Negroes Of this state have made many
gains in the past few years in legislation passed at
city and state levels to protect them and other
minorities The gains were not made so much be-
of the political activity at the polls of the
Negro, as they were because the majority group
in Minnesota thinks rather soundly on the matter
of human rights.
To make other needed gains and keep the ones
which have been secured the Minnesota Negro is
going to have to get up off his posterior and regis
ter and vote more
Getting people registered Is a function which
the NAACP branches should assume and one which
would make them far more influential than they
are If they do a good job in getting voters on the
poll books.
1t Is too late to do anything about registering
people before the September primaries but they can
be registered for the November final elections
There are more candidates for public office in
this area than one might expect who not dedi-
Gated to the proposition that all citizens receive
their basic constitutional rights For this reason
alone every Negro ought to be registered and vot-
ing at both the primary and final elections.
If the NAACP doesn't organize registration
and voting drive some other group like for example
the Twin City Council Of Clubs ought to undertake
the task.

Kennedy Appoints John
deLaittre

President Kennedy's recent appointment Of
Minneapolis banker John deIaittre to the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board was an excellent choice
John deIattre through years of banking experience
and community service has shown a breadth Of
vision which should be valuable to the important
federal agency.
and when Mr.. deLaittre is approved by the
Senate and there should be no difficulty on that
score, Minneapolis will lose for only period we
hope, the services Of a very dedicated who has
found time to help in the beyond the call Of duty
causes during his distinguished here in Min
nesota-
The Importance Of the agency upon whose board
Mr.. deLaittre viii serve can be when its prin-
airy functions are enumerated The Federal Home
Loan Bank Board coordnates the regional Home
Loan Banks, charters and supervises the Federal
savings and loan associations and directs the Fed
eral Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. Its
overall supervision of the 80 billion dollar savings
and loan industry makes the agency an important
and valued arm of the us. government.
In Mr.. deI4aittre the Federal government gains
a valuable man and Minnesota loses at least tenn
porary the active services of Of its most valued
citizens
