THE South And
The SoUfherner
BY RALPH McGHL
(AtIantic-Lttle, Brown, $5)
Reviewed BY Oscar H. Greene
Too often, the Negro press, ex-
plosively bitter concerning racial
issues, remains needlessly silent
when an outspoken friend Of the
Race champions.
Such a friend is Editor Ralph
McGil Of the powerful Atlanta
Constitution. Recently, Mr.. Nc
Gnrs book, The South and the
Southerner" reached the book
stores and newsstands.
Leaning heavily on history and
strongly supported with facts and
figures, the 297 pages completely
shatter the comfortable "Gone
With the Wind" southern gentle
man and the hat-in-hand Negro.
Almost without emotion 1t rips
the always separate but rarely
equal standards and exposes the
raw guilt felt by the hard core
segregationist.
Calmly, McGill observes, there
is racial resistance everywhere, but
the South has written it into its
laws and constitution" He ham,
mers furiously at the corrupt Klan
and the evil, bungling White Cit-
zen's Council. He does not remote
ly agree with the late novelist,
William Faulkner - go slow, the
South knows it's guilty-but con-
tends the fear of intergration is
as unfounded today as in 1890,
when hate twisted Ben Tillman
contended educating the Negro
would incite war between the
Races.
There has been promising pro-
gress in the south, Mr.. McGill
notes. But it has been slowest in
the churches where many believe
racial separation to be Bible ap-
proved.
McGilPs words brimmed with
sincere, hopeful appraisal Of the
impoverished South should be re-
quired reading in all our schools.
His battle, marked by crushing
abuse, can only be softened by our
support. Somehow, his moving
words echo Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow, do not delay; the

In the classic southern tradition
Bull Connor insists there is nc
hate in his heart: Hate the mig
gers? OF course not. See that one
there? (He points to a garbage
collector going by) I own that
niger. I give him everything
Why, that hat he's wearing, those
clothes - they were mine. I gave
them to him"
Those "agitators," of course, are
a different story. Birmingham in
tegration leader Rev. Fred Shut
tlesworth is the Bulls chief ad-
versary. When Shuttlesworth was
felled and injured by a fire hose
this week, Connor was disconsol-
ate. II didn't see it." he said. II
waited a week to see Shuttlesworth
get hit by a hose, I'm sorry I
missed It."
Told that Shuttlesworth was
taken away in an ambulance, Con-
nor replied: II wish they'd car
ried him away in a hearse."
Reporters later told Shuttles-
worth about this exchange. He
smiled and said, Jaw, that's just
Bull Connor. We love each other .
Shuttlesworth didn't mean it,
and he didn't want anyone to be-
lieve he did. And it's probably just
as likely that Bull Connor didn't
mean what he said, either.
Bull Connor found a grand car
eer in protecting Birmingham
against the imagined terror Of Ne
gro domination. Now his career is
over. He went down fighting, to
be sure, even If his last adversaries
were little children.

For The Good OF Kenya

Once the British had Withdrawn
from the country, it could have
taken the law into its own hands
and changed the constitution to
suit its ends, regardless of the pro-
cedure established for such change.
AS it is, Mr.. Kenyatta and his party
now are under a moral obligation
before the world to honor the con-
Stitution with the amendments in
which Britain has concurred.
Kadu has threatened, in the face
of the proposed changes, to wreck
Kenyan unity by organizing an
independent state within those
parts of the country where it has
majority support. To go through
with this would be foolish.
Mr.. Kenyatta has done we'll as
Prime Minister since assuming Of
flee, and his efforts to reassure once
hostile whites are to be COM
mended. 1t is to be hoped that hav-
ing won his point in London this
month, he will be equally concili-
atory to Kadu-and that Kadu will
respond for the good of Kenya.
Jackson advocate., 1963-11-02

The Kenya Government under
Prime Minister Jomo Kenyatta has
won British consent to changes in
the country's constitution before
Independence Day on December 12.
The amendments whittle awav
some of the provisions in the
original constitution-drafted only
year ago-which had been put in
solely as a concession to the main
opposition party, the Kenya Afri-
can Democratic Union (Kadu). The
latter has always insisted on
greater Difference to minority tribal
rights than Mr.. Kenyatta's Kenya
African Nationalist Union (Kanu)
is willing to concede.
kadu is understandably furious
at losing some of the protective
guarantees which it had earlier
won. Britain, however, has chosen
the wiser course in coming to terms
with kanu-at the cost of charge
by kadu of bad faith.
There is no doubt about Kanu's
commanding the support of the ma
