Adam Clayton Is
All Wet Again

No substantial group of American Negroes who
have supported the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People going to pay any
attention to the irresponsible suggestion of Con-
gresham Adam Clayton Powell, (Dec N.Y. that
the Negroes of the nation boycott the NAACP be-
cause the organization has whites in high positions
in the organization.
Powells suggestion is frivolous and unworthy
and without merit because he knows that the
NAACP has never been Negro organization 1t
was founded in 1910 following call by a disting-
uished group of Americans of whom only three were
Negroes and was intended to be an association of
Americans of all races and faiths banded together
to advance and secure the civil rights of the op-
pressed American Negroes
No all-Negro organization set up in that era or
operating in the present period could have accomp-
ished the things which have been made possible by
the interracial NAACP.
Adam Clayton Powell knows this. But in true
demogogue fashion, smarting perhaps because the
NAACP and other responsible groups did not come
to his defense when Congress gave him what
amounted to a Censure, he is striking out in all
directions because his reckless waste and irrespon-
sibilty have brought him a loss of power.
This newspaper rejects Powelps attempt to in
flame racist nationalism among American Negroes
We have no more respect for his demogogery than
we do of white natonalists like retired Cen Edwin
Walker or Bill Hargis.
We believe the majority of American Negroes
will reject the blatant hypocrisy and demogogery of
Congressman Adam Clayton Powell who, having
fr1ttered away the opportunity to perform real
service to his race and nation now resorts to the
lowest form of race batting

Other Approaches
To ''NegrO Problem"

We certainly would not quarrel with the sugges-
tons of Washington Rhodes in March IA issue
that money is the solution of the problems Negroes
face and of Hobson R. Reynolds that the ballot box
Is the solution Surely the of the vote is remend
ously important. And to say that money is not
crucial matter would be to deny the validity of all
the efforts that have gone into the fight against job
discrimination.
But to stress these things to the exclusion of
everything else would be at this stage of history
most unfortunate. The Negro problem" which is
today major concern Of our largest centers of
population is infinitely bigger than this Basicay
it is a problem that is being exported from the
southland to northern cities one part of the
problem Of the South The Negroes who are being
driven out Of their homelands by agricultural auto
nation are unprepared to use the ballot In a way
to win any immediate redress. They equally un-
prepared to use such small economic power as they
might have. Job discrimination and other expoita-
ton leave them relatively without weapons either
of defense or of counter-offensive
1t is time that all Negroes and particularly
those who WELD effective power like Rhodes and
Reynolds, pay more attention to the basics The
migrants from Dixie to the northern industrial cities
are, to be sure, a national problem. They also,
because of the circumstance that their skins are
mostly dark and the circumstance that this has SUBJ
jected them to discrimination Negro problem
AS DR.. James B. Conant in his history-making
survey for the Carnegie Foundation has pointed out
these migrants arrive in the north in-equipped for
city living They settle in slums and their children
attend schools that in fact, though not by any
rule or policy, segregated They attend until they
attain the age the law requires and drop out They
drop out not to go to work but for the opposite
reason that there are no jobs If they finish
school So, what's the use! In some slum neghbor-
hoods" says Conant, II have doubt that over
half of the boys are out of school and out of work
Leaving aside human tragedies, 1 submit that con-
dnuation of this situation is menace to the social
and political health of the large cities"
These boys are not exclusively Negro but big
percentage of them because the discrimination
against Negroes has worked kind of solution This
makes it problem of all Americans but it also we
suggest, makes it a concern especially of other VIC
tins of discrimination. Those who like Mr. Rhodes
can apply economic power to the situation would be
well advised to do AS for Mr.. Reynolds and the
ballot box should not all be raising the roof to
demand that the government quickly adopt meas
ures like that proposed by Senator Hubert Hum
phrey to provide for work dscplines and lob train
ing for these neglected young Americans?

We NEED A Metropolitan
Transit Authority

Voices are again being raised against doing
anything now about mass transportation fac
ilities in the Twin Cities. Legislators are being
asked to wait couple of years more before setting
up Metropolitan Transit Authority
Metropolitan Transit Authority, if it is to
have any meaning at ALL would be an agency with
full power to order mass transportation service
where it is needed and to provide the service if the
responsible private agency fails to; to take firm
hand in all metropolitan engineering affecting mass
transportation, and to bring order in the met
ropoitan area out Of the present chaos as exempi-
fled by the fact (for example that ta5icab service
has to observe about 15 to 20 boundary exclusions
and jurisdictions in providing service to the area
Those who argue against it say they want an
engineering survey first. But such surveys are f-
tile unless there agencies with power to act
upon the surveys findings. Surely we want studies
and more studies. But more than that we want
action on what already know.
During the time that action has been paralyzed
the highway department has gone right ahead with
an incredible program of urban highway construc-
ton in which the department has banned mass
transportation from the freeways. Here is an "ac-
ton" agency that is acting The survey and study
agencies can go on surveying and studying as much
as they want, but If the actionists don't want to
pay heeu 10 the studies Tin this case, the highway
department has ignored such studies) then some
kind of action program is needed to protect the
people Otherwise the chaos already planned by the
highway department will be thrice compounded
There are many things about the operation of
the mass transportation system in the Twin Cities
that are hard to understand. Even more difficult to
understand is the highway departments approach
to the whole problem.
We have discussed this at great length over a
long time, pointing out the implications Of current
highway policies for users of mass transportation
Obviously what is needed at this time is an
agency which properly assess the needs of users
of mass transportation and properly represent them
against so formidable adversary the Minnesota
State Highway Department. We need an agency
with resources and authority to act in the present
critical situation.

Who Bears The Cost OF

ayers, skilled artisans-people with the knowledge

We have always been told that these sls are

possible to make room for large number of trained
medics and accountants and lawyers and business
managers in this vast country with no hardship on
anybody.
But what do do? We put these highly
trained Cubans to work in the least skilled Jobs
available jobs previously held by the least favored

We take jobs away from Americans who can least
afford 1t and give them to the refugees We make
these least favored Americans bear almost the whole
cost OF the refugee problem So these Americans are
now out Of work. and highly trained Cubans are
mopping floors, making beds, washing dishes and
performing similar tasks.
Maybe it's time to ask the medical profession
the legal profession, the accounting and auditing
profession and others, to consider making room for
their fellow professionals from Cuba There is little
room at the bottom and what room there is has been
made by brutally pushing lot of Americans onto
the unemployment rolls.

Council OF Sfate
Governments Thinks We
Should Check Eoefs

NNS
Should Check Facts
Editor: We have received today
an editorial from the Minneapolis
Spokesman of March 7, 1868, ac-
cusing the Council of State Gov
ernments of a cynical, deliberate,
dishonest and outrageous" attempt
to disfranchise negro voters.
First of all, it should be noted
that this uniform legislation is the
product of the National Conference
of Commissioners on Uniform
State Laws rather than the Coun-
Gil of State Governments. The Ma
tional Conference of Commission
ers on Uniform State Laws is a
long g-established, highly regarded
body of lawyers representing ev-
cry state. 1t is closely affiliated
with the American Bar Associa-
ton, and the Council of State Gov
ernments is honored to be associ-
ated with both groups.
Secondly, the purpose of the
uniform Act for Voting by New
Residents in Presidential Elec-
tions" does not even contain a
provision requiring a certificate of
the local election judge from the
voters previous precinct in an
other state! A number Of states
do have such a requirement, based
on their legislative judgment that
a person who has never qualified
as a voter elsewhere should not be
given greater rights than the per-
son who has always resided in the
enacting state.
In view of the above, I think
perhaps the Minneapolis SpOkes-
man should be asked to explain
why it does not check its facts
before making accusations and de-
mands against organizations dedi-
Gated to the public interest
Yours truly, BreVard Crihfield,
Executive Director, Council of
State Governments, March l2,

Editors Note: The version Of
the bill officially circulated by

ments does not contain the re-
qulrement that the voter have

requirement was in the version
introduced in the Minnesota leg
islature, and the authors Of the

Definition OF Discrimination
Important To Fight
Aqoinsf Job Bios

Editor: agree with your March
81 editorial entitled Community
Should Bestir Itself" stating that
the Jurisdiction of FEPC in St.
Paul must apply to all employees
and employers, whether they be
governments, such as those of
Sheriff Hedman's office, or not.
AS the lawyer representing Mr..
Cornelius Brown at the hearing in
question, I would like to make this
further comment: I don't BELIEVE
the jurisdictional question is a
serious problem in Mr.. Browns
case. The present FEPC group
under its able and active execu-
tive secretary, Mr.. Seth Phillips
had previously resolved this ques-
ton in favor of the community
and they did this again in hearing
the Brown case. The problem con-
fronting Mr.. Phillips and myself
in this hearing was rather the
definition of discrimination.
1t is an uncontradicted fact that
Mr.. Brown was an able, neat, cap.
able, indeed outstanding worker
with veterans preference (Secont
World War and Korean conflict)
under Civil Service regulations
Despite these admitted qualifica.
tions, we were unable to show that
he was Disseminated against ir
his discharge.
1t is not the purpose of this
letter to say that Mr.. Brown die
not receive a full and competent
hearing; my purpose is merely tc
point out that since the leadership
of the Twin Cities Negro communi.
ty did not bother to attend this
trial, they cannot really know
what the present st. Paul FEPC
would consider a discriminatory
act by an employer or a trade
union.
I cannot think Of one issue more
important to the advancement Of
minority causes than the defini'
ton of discrimination, not only ir
the hiring process but in keeping
the employee on the job too, once
he is hired.-JOseph Perry, 946I
