Deuth Of Kennedy
Blow To Nofion'S
NEGRO Citizens

CONTINUED from Page ~
ance not only abroad but through
out the world.
Further, the world Of Kennedy's
administration, was much more
alive to racial persecution and Soc
ial injustice than at any other in
history.
Though billed as a non-political
tour, the Presidents visit to Texas
was regarded as an effort to unity
feuding factions in the state Demo-
cratic organization and to boost
his chances Of reelection next
year.
Both of these had strong rae
ial Overtones.
Political prophets, and polls had
all confirmed that President Ken
nedy had lost some of the follow
ing that had put him into the
White House by a narrow majority
over former Vice President Rich
ard Nixon - and the reason univ
ersally agreed upon was his advo-
cacy of civil rights.
He was aware that his stand was
costing him votes and jeopardiz-
ing his chances Of reelection.
Some were convinced that he was
slowly retreating from his strong
position on racial matters as a
matter of political eSpediency.
Whether true or not, there was
no doubt that he distinguished
himself from all his predecessors
by taking q firmer stand In be-
half of civil rights for Negroes
by word and by deed.
History will undoubtedly con-
firm that Negroes made greater
progress toward their goal Of full
citizenship under President Ken
nedy than in any other like period
of time.
To be sure, Negroes themselves
through their own unprecedented
efforts were responsible for many
OF the gains, but President Ken
nedy's fortnight leadership in the
field of social reform helped to
provide a climate for the material
ization of the Negro revolution.
One wonders how Kennedy's
tragic death will affect the civil
rights bills now pending In Con-
gress and for passage Of which
he had worked so hard?
One wonders If the policies he
instituted of giving Negroes great
er prominence in government will
continue? Will there be a Negro
cabinet or a Negro justice on the
Supreme Court bench, top prestige
posts to which it was expected
Kennedy would name Negroes?
One wonders how this great
tragedy will affect the programs
that were being pushed under his
direction to attain fair employment
opportunities for Negroes, for their
right to live, go to school, move
about, eat and pause overnight
with the freedom and without in
hibiuons as other Americans.
Because of the leadership and
support for all these ideals provid-
ed by President Kennedy, the
United States cannot afford to re-
treat in a highly critical, highly
sensitive world.
But mostly, the answer is up to

NOT MY WIFE, MY MOTHER

Memphis (ANP) - The snafu
bug has hit the Navy again, and
as a result Richard c. Mays, Jr.,
20, a naval aviation officer trainee
discovered he has a wife whom he
never married. Seems when Mays
was picked for officer training
the navy sent out a release which
said he was the husband Of the

Mays Is unmarried, but the joker

Back TO the comic strips

school from which they carry no de-
gree at all : the bitter school of exper-
fence. Like the Cosa Nostra of Mr..
VaIachi, they make up their own rules
and abide by them, hell or high water.
They sit at their drawing boards,
where the slide rules Of reality have
been discarded for noble cliches, and
emerge with bIuePrints Of shimmering
fantasies that have no foundation but
may lure a vote: how to spend oursel-
YES out of debt, how to free Cuba by
withdrawing aerial support from anti
Castro forces, how to cure unemPloy-
ment by taking the profits out Of bust
nesses that employ workers, and SINH
lar %juvenilia.
Naturally, they have a record for
striking out that makes the New York
Nets lineup read like a roster Of home
run kings. But when the project fails,
it is blamed on dirty Republicans and
the Administration historians record it
as a victory : at least a moral victory.
They do have victory: They have
succeeded in making demonstrations
supersede law arid order. So we'll
that inmates of Folsom Prison struck
the other day for higher wages for their
slave labor. They are also discontented,
SO the warden quoted, because the
sentence for statutory rape has been
heightened.
And my paper tells me : not on the
the comic page, unfortunately that the
convicts of San Quentin have just stag
ed a sit-down strike as a protest in be-
half Of their brothers at Folsom. In uni
ty there is strength.
And here in Los Angeles, where ev-
cry kid. Of whatever color, goes or
maIIv to the public school nearest him,
CORE has just stage an integrated all
night sit-in at the Board Of Education,
in which teenagers Of both sexes took
part. Object: to get rid Of de facto
s~egregatoin."
The kids apparently did some heavy
necking in the unIighted corridors : as
part of the protest, no doubt : and the
police we're summoned. But the cops
: though we have curfew laws : were
afraid of Cosa Nostra and felt power
less to act. The teacher in charge Of
the sit-in stopped the necking only
when the custodian threatened to make
films of the goings-on.
wouldn't like the above record even
on the comic pages. But, in the name
of sanity, let's gid rid of Hans and
Fritz before we all become K~atzenjam-
mer Kids. Back to the comics with EN-
