The Silly Season

That old campaigner for the Right Fringe the
Minneapolis Tribune's Washington Bureau chief
Richard Wilson, is at it again. He accuses the Ken
nedy Administration of policy of the big fib" in
"misinforming the American public" He gives
bill of 10 particulars.
Curiously one Of particulars is the way the
government handled the U-2 incident at the time
the observation plane shot down over Russia
We suspect that lot of people will consider that
it borders just bit the unfair side to indct the
Kennedy Administration for something which the
Eisenhower Administration handled But this is the
sort of thing you have to watch out for if you take
your intelligence from the Fringe
Only of the other nine big fibs" listed by
Wilson involves clearcut point of fact The others
are matters of prediction (The federal budget for
fiscal 1868 would be balanced. Untrue) or matters
of evaluation of military intelligence reports Ono
Russian troops landed in Cuba. Untrue'D or
given to Billy Sol Estes. Untrue.D
The one item that may have been a fb The
President called off his personal campaigning be-
cause he had cold Untrue" The President did
have a cold but he also had urgent business in
Washington concerned with missile bases in Cuba
The fib if any, not big one. And considering
the comprehensive report that the President made
business that took him back to Washington, Wilson
looks pretty silly when he uses the incident as
basis for his charge that THE Kennedy adminstra-
ton has run the risk of undermining confidence
in information from Washington"
St. Paul recorder., 1962-12-07

against certain sections of the public This is rdicu-
GUS on two counts: obviously the President does
have the power and duty to issue such an admins
trative ORDER and obviously he has done so and is
planning enforcing it.
These same people arguing that the order
will ruin the ndustry-that they cannot do business
under such rule and will have to operate without
the benefit of FILA, FNMA and the Veterans Ad-
ministration. This complaint sounds a bit strange
coming from people who have always protested
that they do not discriminate. We think moreover
that it is good bet that these people will soon
live with the presidential order but that they can
not live without the government services.
There remains the deep south. Will this path
etc, backward, psychoss-rdden region now reject
government services which have become essential
to the development of good housing? Will they
take upon their region this additional handicap {?
How much of this sort of thing can they af-
ford? Rather than join the forward movement of the
rest of the country, the people of the south have
destroyed their educational systems imposed i'm
possible burdens upon business frustrated their own
efforts to attract industry Will they reject the
Presidents order and accept the loss of innumerabe
units of badly needed new housing?
1t is impossible to predict but it may be that
this is the weight that will tip the scale If it does
the housing stroke of the pen" will surely turn out
to be the greatest stroke of ALL in the continuing
struggle for equal treatment Of all Americans

Keep BigOted American
Senators At Home

Hoo-ray for newly Independent Uganda whose
government this week barred one of our leading
native us. racists who happens to be an American
official from visiting that country.
1t happens that our burden" in this instance
is also US Senator Allen ]. Ellender of Louis
lana. Ellender tax payer paid tunket to Africa
had paused long enough to show his true colors by
praisng the strict racial segregation of South Africa
which some day may bathe that backward nation in
blood
Ellender also put his big mouth and little mind
into the Northern Rhodesia problem and native
African leaders accused him Of tanning racial hatred
and upsettng African-United States relations dur
ing his tour of the continent.
It's too bad the us. State Department for our
countrys sake can't keep us. Senators and Con-
gressman who white supremacy" spokesman
out of Africa They undo all the good work our
State Department, our Peace Corps have been doing
that troubled continent
Such individuals Elender knowing their
feelings and being unwilling to accord decent treat
ment even to their own fellow black Americans,
here at home-ought to have the decency to stay
out of Africa and let the Senators who realize the
Importance of the friendship Of the emerging Afri-
can Nations to our international position-go to
Africa.
Ellender was quoted as saying that in his tour
of Africa he had not any African nation where
the average African capable of leadership with
out white assistance. This was a gratutous general
zation and if it true which 1t Is not COM
ing from a man from state where fellow Negro
citizens daily oppressed and denied their rights
it was bound to be answered and also bound to harm
St. Paul recorder., 1962-12-07
The Housing ''Stroke
OF The Pen"

The stroke of the pen" turned out to be some
what more than that, but it has been done We have
the Presidents long promised order banning dis
elimination in federaly assisted housing and we
have the opportunity to make great deal of it, if
we will
What can we make of it? Consider for one ex-
ample the matter Of dwellings that revert to the
FILA or the Veterans Administration in default of
mortgage payments. These dwellings, are to be
found in all neghborhoods, and in a wide price
range. How they to be re-sold? Without dis
elimination. No bank, savings and loan associa-
ton, no real estate dealer is going to get out his
secret map on these houses, because you go di-
recty to the government agency and make your
own deal. Moreover, if local goons try to make
trouble for you your protection is the Federal Bur-
eau of Investigation, because this is federal prop
erty.
Consider, for another example, the man who is
known as Project Builder or developer He puts
up houses by the thousands and sells them at low
down payments, and usually at prices that make
them good bargain. If he plans to stay in business
he is going to have to sell (for the first time, in
most cases) without discrimination Why? Because
he is absolutely and totally dependent upon the Fed
eral National Mortgage Association for financing
His loans may go through bank other nom
public agency, but the government puts up the
money.
Or consider the builder or dealer who the
services of the Federal Housing Administration. No
discrimination
President Kennedy's new order poses some in
teresting and sometimes amusing problems for the
dehards the reactonaries in the real estate build
ing and finance industries who have sworn never to
bow down to this sort of dictatorship" 1t also
faces the unreconstructed deep south with another
prospective consequence of their determination to
remain backward
Industry people are now arguing that the Pres-
dent lacks the power to issue such order. They
say that 1t is up to Congress to decide whether pub
lie funds shall be used in ways that discriminate
St. Paul recorder., 1962-12-07
Election Law Reform Up
To Legislature

By giving the sanction Of law to the kind of
partylne second guessing that has been going in
the local canvassing boards the Minnesota Supreme
Court has created intolerable situation which
surely will have to be corrected by the legislature
1t makes no difference which party gained by
the procedures unoosed following the general cleo
ton 1t might be the Republicans one time and the
Democratic Farmer-Laborites the next. The point
is that if spot recounts by the canvassng boards
on their own authority and initiative are to be per-
mitted after the boards have completed their duties
everybody in close race will be looking precint by
precinct for extra votes, and there will be intoler
able pressure upon the local boards to help along
There might even be tendency to more incidents
like that in country where the ballot boxes were
handled with outrageous Carelessness - or worse
There surely would be pressure to cut the corners
such as the pressure board to count absentee
ballots that failed to qualify by meeting the deadline
for such votes
The canvassing boards have ample powers to
check the work of the precinct judges and correct
when they find After this job has been done
and the returns filed with the state further checks
should be subject to higher authority To allow any
thing else is to invite chaos and risk corruption.
Many people are disappointed that the Supreme
Court did not take occasion to clarity the ambight-
les of the law with ruling more in keeping with
the realities of the problem. Many people think that
SUCH Interpretation would nave Deen closer to the
meaning and intent of the law than the ruling which
the Supreme Court has made
AS 1t is, the issue must go before the legis-
lature 1t is to be hoped that it will be dealt with
there in more statesmanLke manner. Since the
present chaos can work against either party both
have stake in correcting It,
While they are at it, they would do we'll to give
attention to other defects in election law, in
cluding those which contribute to such widespread
error as has already been turned up.
We have discussed some of these problems in a
previous editorial, where we have suggested that a
major source Of error is the impossible hours and
working conditions to which precinct election offic.
ials subjected Most of these easily be cor.
rected and they should be.
The matter Of powers and procedures for the
canVassing boards poses more technical legal prob
lens, but the solution admnistrativeIy may be much
easier. 1t may be long time before have another
statewide election close this one On the other
hand close elections happening all the time If
canvassing procedures be set up, properly safe
guarded, which will insure substantially correct
count without putting candidates to insupportable
recount expense, democracy will be we'll served

TALLY without meaning life
is. Everything is denied,
