100 Richest Negroes" Ebony
discloses that the richest Neg

states: MANY Negro fortunes

Named as the richest Negro
in the U. S.. is Atlanta insur-
ance executive Norris B. Hern-

is one of 18 insurance execu-

Herndon as reserved and re-
tiring, spending much of his
time at a Florida home far
away from the crowd"
Among the 100 richest Neg
roes are only five entertain
ers and two sports figures.
The wealthiest Negroes in
show business are listed as

on Ebony's listing are heavy

is the only one of the enter.

Ebony speculates that there
would be many more Negro

the ingrained conservatism of
Negro businessmen" The
magazine quotes an observer
OF Negro business methods as
saying that "they have the po-

an injunction against enforce

Mize has said that the suit
was not a proper class action
to extend to all Negroes and
he did not extend it beyond
the relief to which the three
plaintiffs were personally en-

stated that "all segregation

that "all facilities and all ter

invade the larger ones as well.
Woodrow Wilson said in Con-
gress IN 1917 that ''the world
must be made safe for de-
mocrscy." 1t isn't safe today
for any free government.
The Soviets are talking
loud because they think they
can bluff America into in
action and silence. Foreign
Minister Gromyko's brazen
speech at the United Nations
a few days ago, charging
this country with aggression,
is an example Of how readily
American silence can be mis-
interpreted. If the United
States Government continues
to make excuses for aban-
doning the people in q little
country 80 miles away. how
can it ever be expected either
to lift its voice or render any
aid to the peoples Of the cap
tive countries in Europe and
Asia? To draw back into
Fortress America" and con-
tend that the United States
has no obligation to speak
out or act in behalf of the
Cuban people because this
might offend Soviet Russia
means that a bigger test
under even more dangerous
circumstances may come
later on at a time when it
will be more difficult, more
hazardous and more costly
in human lives than it Is
now.
Today the vocal chords Of
the United States Govern
ment have been silenced by
a strategy Of fear, Of hesi-
fancy and of vacillation,
which keeps on emphasizing
the "totality" of the world
situation-as If this means
that the principles of de-
mocracy and the aspirations
of peoples at present under
the yoke Of Communist i'm
perialism have become Sec
ondary. Yet this Nation
could mobilize-by exhorta-
ton of foreign peoples
forces that would inevitably
thwart the aims Of the
aggressors.
War or the threat of. war
isn't the most powerful wea-
pom in the world today. Moral
force plus economic force
are even more powerful. But
If there is fear even to speak,
then, in the end. war comes
because the enemy misinter-
Rrets silence for timidity and
ihaction for weakness.

Kennedy Seen Indebted for Booking
Of Republican Chiefs on u. S. Policy

It is likely that he does
not understands many
Americans, in fact. seem not
to understandable limited
meaning as to foreign policy
Of this or any other congress
sional election. Mr.. Truman
undertook fateful decisions
in American foreign policy
at a time when he had an
opposition Congress, and
Congress in these matters
never said him nay. Mr..
Eisenhower did, too.
Mr.. Khrushchev cannot
really paralyze our foreign
policy by intervening. But
the vital thing is to try to
make him realize he cannot.
It is for this reason that
the nonpartisanship Of the
Republican n congressional
leaders in this area is so
important. They merit a
generous reciprocity from the
President going far beyond
mere pedestrian political ira
ditions.
Professionally partisan
Democrats may argue that
the Republicans could not
have done anything else, but
they could have done some
thing else altogether. They
could have demanded what
many people-not all of
them either fools or flag
wavers-would really prefer:
A flat-out showdown right
now with Castro Cuba. Had
they demanded this, with
the President already COM
mitted against a showdown
now in light of his estimate
Of the present state Of our
security. they could have pre-
sented him as faint-hearted
and unsure.
The trouble is that the
rest Of the world doesn't
care much about who Is a
Democrat and who a Repub-
lican, and so the world only
would have seen this country
itself as faint t-hearted and
unsure. This would have been
the one most reliable posi-
Bile way to embolden Mr..
Khrushchev into pushing US
too far.

Decision at a Kentucky Fork in the Road
Moy Have Helped Doom Confederocy
MuNFORDVILLE. XIV.

MUNFORDvILLE, KY. -
This was such q little town
for such a big decision.
Little towns have often
figured in big decisions.
There never was much to
Blenheiin or w Waterloo or
Chateau Thierry or Hast
ings. These were merely piv-
OTIS upon which the wheel Of
history turned. And perhaps
Munfordville was such a
pivot, although its 1900 per-
sons, nestled snugly on their
bluff overlooking the Green
River, show no signs of know
ing 1t.
There is, Of course, the
small marker on the busy
highway Just south of town
pointing to the little monu-
ment at the end of the rail-
road bridge. There it was
that the fierce-bearded Gen.
Braxton Bragg and his ~, 900
Confederates captured the
1000 Unionists guarding the
bridge. But it was really only
q skirmish. The Northern
soldiers threw down their
rifles quickly. Only the writ
ers of the most detaile d
American histories ever men
ton Munfordville.
Because, you see, the little
battle was fought on Septem-
Der II, 1852, and on the same
day Lees Army of Virginia
and Met cClellan's Army of the
Potomac were locked in til
tanic struggle on the banks
of Antietam Greek in Mary
land. Few battles in the his
tory Of the world had in
volved as many men as we're
gathere d at Antie t a m.
Against such competition
Munfordville didn't have a
show.
You know about Antietam.
It was a tactical Confederate
victory and a strategic Con-
federate defeat. You have
heard the story of Special
Order 19l, written by Robert
E. Lee to Gen. D. H. Hill,
giving the whole plan of at
tack. You remember that an
incredibly stupid Confederate
courier wrapped it around
three cigars and then appar-
emily lost it, how the paper
was found by a Union SOL
dier and rushed to McClel-
Ian, and how McClellan. after
characteristic hesitation, de-
cided 1t was genuine.
In the hands of an aggres-
sive Union general Thom-
as, q Sherman or a Grant
the message might have cost
