The Political ReaIignment
In The South

Back in the days when the Minnesota delega-
tons to the Democratic National Convention were
leading the battle for strong civil rights planks,
they had good answer to those who feared this
might "aenate the South" and drive the Dixiecrats
into the arms of the Republicans
so what?" their answer THE Dixiecrats
are nothing but a hindrance and an embarrassment
to u.s. and we'd be better off without them Let the
Republicans have them, and see how much good it
will do them"
Now the Republicans do have them or at least
quite few of them The one-party system in the
South is cracking and expect to see it disappear
in a relatively short time. The Republicans right
now are mapping ong-range strategy for the
Southern wing of the party the basis of their
successes and near successes in the recent elections
Who gains? The Republicans are obviously
happy about the new situation so we must assume
they gain. The Democrats are looking forward to
the realignment in terms Of the prospect that they
will be rid of some of the powerful reactionarv
forces that have so long been an embarrassment to
them in Congress and in the national conventions
They are the gamers. The South gains the benefits
Of two-party system which could conceivably,
help to jolt that backward area into the modern
age. The country will inevitably gain If only one
or two Of the reactonary southern congressman are
jolted from their seats and their chairmanships,
and If only some of the Diecrats elect to stay away
from the Democratic national conventions.
Any far-reaching change is painful, to be sure.
Senator Lister Hill of Alabama, one of the Souths
most presentabe political leaders, came within an
ace Of defeat at the hands of a preposterous reac-
uonary raCist wearing the COP. label Liberal Re-
publican northerners wring1ng their hands in
anguish over the new alignments that the Gold
waters of the party are arranging Conceivably big
segment Of the party could be unhappy with
thair aI1ia
Gratis have been.
Nevertheless the new line-ups will widen the
area of choice for the American voters and thus
make future elections more meaningful. We happen
to believe that when the choice is clear the Amer
ican voters will be the side of liberalism. In the
last election, for example, IA of 70 Congressional
candidates supported by the much-maligned and
much-libeed Americans for Democratic Action were
elected Can the John Birch society boast equal
cesses? We think not.
When the liberals gain, the whole country gains.

Might Have Been
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

1t is quite possible that c. Donald Peterson,
Republican candidate for lieutenant governor in the
November elections might today be preparing to
take that post January l. if he had not op-
posed the fair housing bill in the 1861 session of the
legislature. He lost the by 1897 votes for the
Peterson a member of the Minnesota House
of Representatives from Edna and it was originally
thought that he had some of the somewhat liberal
tendencies of his brother P. K Peterson the former
mayor of Minneapolis. His legislative record how
ever was very conservative and he was completely
against the fair housing bill.
A. M. Keith, the DFL winner of the lieutenant
governors race who halls from Rochester was
Senator in the 1861 legislature and was a strong
supporter of the fair housing BILL which was pretty
much barometer of how liberal a senator was or
how interested he was in human rights
Peterson had the advantage over Keith on the
statewide level because of his brothers name and
record as state COP chairman but this newspaper
felt he a weak candidate for the COP and
added strength to the ticket. This was chiefly
because Peterson didn't support the measure against
housing discrimination which was one of the key
legislative bills which Gov. Elmer Andersen could
claim as victory for his legislative program.
Negro voters and those whites who were in
terested in fair housing were aware of Petersons
record in the legislature, particularly on the bill
mentioned above His loss of the race to Keith who
had the handicap of not hailing from the two
largest metropolitan leads us to believe that
if he (Peterson) had supported fair housing he
might be new lieutenant governor
In retrospect the liberal cause in the state
gained when Peterson failed to support the fair
housing law 1t resulted we believe in the election
of capable, alert personable A. M (Sandy) Keith
whose political star is bound to rise higher and
higher.

Bobby Bell Did
Just Right!

Like most Minnesotans, we were all for Bobby
Bell remaining in his adopted state and playing pro-
fessional football for the Minnesota Vikings. But
unlike many other Minnesotans, we believe Bell had
a right to shop around for the best future, and
therefore applaud his signing with the Dallas
Texans for more money told than ever Of
fered rookie Hneman in the history of professional
football
All of these downtown critics of Bell-for sign
ing the contract which will bring him a reported
$4,000 year for five years and which will pro-
vide him stable employment between seasons-are
all wet far concerned.
We read and heard some of the sports COM
mentators, writers and pundits critcisng Bell for
not keeping his promise" to sign with the Vikings
1t gave us laugh These fellows pontificating on
whether a college football player who gave his all
to his school team ought to at the close of his
career, continue to act like school boy by signing
poor contract and losing thousands of dollars for
sentimental reasons of others.
The best the Vikings could offer Bell did not
approach the offer of La Mari Hunt the Dallas
owner. The All-Amercan tackle should have had his
head examined if he had turned down the no-cut
contract, just to satisfy regional desires to see
him play in Minnesota.
The Minnesota Vikings are privately owned
business. We hope it will be able to field team
in coming seasons to make the franchise highly
the Vikings team but we don't expect University
of Minnesota players to join up with the Vikings
for sentimental reasons alone, as some people seem
to think Bobby Bell should have done.
In the future the Minnesota business communi-
ty should support the Vikings in seeing that pro-
fessona athletes especially those with college de-
grees Negro and well white are offered good Off
season jobs. If Bell had been offered better con-
tract plus good offseason job of promise from an
outstanding local firm, he might have been persuad-
ed to sign Viking contract.
A good number of Minnesota Gophers who be-
came Al-Americans upon leaving school have US
ually been employed by local firms interested in
cashing in on the publicity which such players re-
ceive. Now that we have professional football here,
our leaders should give some consideration to the
fact that some of the players, fans will want to
with the home team will be black boys, as well as
whites and a result some of the insurance firms
the national manufacturing concerns, the invest
ment houses, etc, will have to find places for some
Negroes as well the whites, they have regularly
employed at the end of their school athletic careers
That is, if we want to youngsters like Bell re-

Bold Government
Action Needed

Negro Americans made substantial economic
progress during the two decades following the in
auguraton of Franklin D. Roosevelt as President
They made gains both absolutely and with relation
to the rest of the economy.
These gains slowed to a stop with the in
auguraton of Dwight D. Eisenhower as President
Since the early 195Os the wage gap between Negroes
and other Americans has remained constant, ac-
cording to the Bureau of the Census
Apparently a big reason for this is that large
proportion of the Negro population still remains
economically among the poorest 20 per cent of the
population. Despite increasing opportunities, the
patterns of discrimination, the lack of educational
opportunity, closed doors to apprenticeship training
and closed doors to occupatonal advancement have
continued to keep large of the Negro popula
ton in lowpaid field and harvest jobs and poorly
paid service jobs.
How much the showdown of the past decade
has been result of President Eisenhowers lack Of
sympathy with the problem, how much to his in
difference to the problems of automation and re-
sulting reducation of jobs in the areas of lower
sldlls, and how much to other forces don't know
In any case, the question is academic, and the
problem is not.
What do know is that the economic and
social problem posed by the poorest 20 per cent
of our population Negro, Latin white, and other)
is possibly the most serious face The kind of
poverty Lney are condemned 10 In ts age OF attu-
ence is intolerable The rapid pace at which techno
ogy is devouring their jobs is dangerous if not ex
plosive. The fact that the brunt of the unemploy-
ment is being borne by young people just starting
out in adulthood, at the height Of their physical
vigor should give pause. We should be concerned
if not for what this will do to these young people,
then for what it might do to u.s.
In contrast to President Eisenhower President
Kennedy has shown considerable concern over this
whole problem. At the same time7 many of us are
disturbed by signs that the administration is follow
ing the old Hoover "triclle down" theory: prime
the pump, stimulate the economy by infusions at
the top, In the hope that some benefits will reach
the bottom It is hard to see how this will work any

In reply to reports that there
has been an old understanding
that Baltimore and Washing
ton banks would keep their
hands off each others terri
tories, suburban bankers said it
simply was taken for granted
that banks Of the two cities
would not try to compete with
each other.
However, large residential
sections between the two cities
are filling rapidly. Not too far
out in the Washington suburbs,
one neighbor may work in
Washington, while the other
works in Baltimore. Both the
Washington and Baltimore
suburbs and their dual suburbs
between have been growing
rapidly and represent a lot of
potential business worth COM
petlng for.

to form Maryland National
Bank with a branch office in
nearby Upper Marlboro. But
