Untimely Death Of
Estes KefauVer

The untimely death August 10, of Senator Estes
Kefauver, of Tennessee removed one of the most
dedicated and useful public servants in the nation
The nation indebted to the Tennessean for
variety Of services stretching from the senatorial
attack he made national organized crime to his
fight against collusion between drug firms which
resulted in the high cost of drugs for medical pre-
scrptions.
Minnesota in a sense was like a second home to
him politically among the DFL where he was so
widely admired that he upset the party hierarchy in
1856 to win the state primary designation Adla
Stevenson
Kefauver at that time was talking more frank
common sense on the civil rights issue than liberal
Stevenson and Negroes in Minnesota startled the
entire nation by supporting him. 1t was still break
from tradition to have northern Negroes supporting
a southerner over a northerner in a national polti-
cal campaign
study of Kefauvers record from the time he
elected Congressman would have furnished the
answer, for in his first term Congressman he
voted with northerners several crucial civil rights
issues
In each Of his campaigns from that time on in
Tennessee he attacked for his moderate civil
stand by the raciss in his state but his great hold
the imagination of the people of his state stood
him in good stead, and he was able to be reelected
most southern Senator'S
Negro support Of Senator Kefauver for the
Democratic Presidential nomination not only
rejection Of Stevensons obvious pussyfooting in
1856 in contrast to his forthrghtness in 1852 but
also indication Of the fact Negroes had become
sophisticated enough in their political thinking to
back even a southener If he had a good record.
acted and talked right.
The liberal side in the Senate of the United
States lost good soldier in Estes Kefauvers death
His death will be blow to those who believe
sive monopoly is bane to the nation and Is strang
ling the great creative and indiHdualisdc initiative
of capitalism.
The true service of Estes Kefauver while ap-
preciated by many Americans may not be fully
comprehended for years but those Of keen political
and economic perception, aware of
the great loss Senator Kefauver's death Is to the
American people.

THE NEWS AND COURIER,
Charleston, sc.

q. The conflict managers have
not seen the folly of their ways,
however. They are pushing demon
strations far past the point of
national acceptance. Winning a
few concessions for merchants,
motels and city administrations
won't in any way compensate for a
big switch in public opinion, in
cluding liberal and labor opinion.
Those who sincerely desire to
better the living conditions and
working opportunities of Negro
Americans should urge rejection
of revolutionary tactics and a re-
turn to self-improvement and step
by-step methods Of advancement
which win public approval and
produce a permanent improvement
in status" Editors Note: Ho,
hum!
St. Paul recorder., 1963-08-15

and not merely because it promises
relief for the demonstrators tar
gets. The point is that such demon
strations have done their work.
Like an alarm clock, they have
served to arouse the city's aware
ness of racial injustices here. But
there's no purpose in keeping the
alarm ringing after the sleeper is
awake. 1t is time now to concen-
trate on solving the problems, in
stead of protesting their existence.
Most important, the announce
ment served to arrest a trend that
had been approaching the danger
point. We had been increasingly
concerned at indications that the
drive for racial justice was being
misdirected; that demonstrations
and sit-ins were becoming an end
in themselves, as tho friction and
enmity were the goals instead of
peaceful solutions to interracial
problems. ="

Editor: I want to publicly ex-
press my deep indebtedness to the
many people of Minnesota who
came to my aid during my recent
Imprisonment and beating in the
Marion County, Florida, Jail. I'm
sure that you must have been de-
Tending not only me, but also the
dream of the free America we

The stand taken in defending me
by Gov. Rolvaag, Rep. Donald

painful breach that now divides

CONFERENCE AT MlAIMl

"Mr. Goldwater has made
speeches in the North and South

DRY POINTS

The American Legion has adopt

all that nonsense at the University
of Minnesota about peace and in
ternatonal relations. The legion Is
the original birth-control organ1z-
alton, with special reference to
the contraception of ideas.
We don't think that 13-week an
nual vacation plan for steelwork-
ers will be a success. likely as
not, about half Of them will be too
indolent and improNdent to go out
and find another job to occupy
their time.
God, says the Governor Of Ala
bama, has decreed segregation on
earth. He's not so sure about heav-
en-, but he swears that 50 long as
ne is a Divine emissary there will
be segregation in his corner of
hell.
The country's statesmen enter an
organized protest against their
portrayal in TV dramas as loud

Gus, tasteless pumpkins. They feel
that TV writers should broaden
their horizons In this field beyond
