The latest white American,
member of the highly esteemed
Dean Robert G. Storey-fell prey
to the Salisbury foot in the mouth
disease.
Speaking in the USIS auditori-
UNI, the place where Senator FL
lender of Louisiana made his now
infamous address to Africa, Dean
Storey went out of his way to APP
pear to be kith and kin with the
white Southern Rhodesian and
South African journalists. Ignor-
ing the African journalists present
Dean Storey played down the rea-
sons for the struggle of the Amer
lean Negroes to achieve freedom
and equality. He repeated several
times the pious phase of Southern
ers, that the problem Of the Negro
was not only in the South an eff
fort to minimize southern racial
oppression.
Dean Storey, a Texan, cited for
the settler-press his credentials a
long southern ancestry, his par
ents being from Mississippi and
Alabama; his grandparents fought
in the Confederate side in the Civil
War.
Dean Storey, an old-timer, had
trouble even pronouncing the word
Negroes. It came out "Negras".
In talking about the struggle for
integrated education he referred
to Negroes as them" and they.
A white South African journalist
kept after the aging jurist as to
why the Negroes were all Of a
sudden so active. He wanted to
know why this struggle has been
going on so long in the us. He
asked why the color bar continued
to exist. He was pushing the
American juriSt to say that Ne
groes were badcally inferior and
that was why whites were protect
ing themselves with segregation
Americas apartheid.
Dean Storey, who stopped In
the Federation on his way back
from South Africa, described
the fears Of white people In the
US. In regard to Indignation.
He was best" about the South.
Southerners, he said, feared the
sexual mingling that would come
about as a result Of Indignation;
they were apprehensive about the
domination - political - by the
Negroes; and they still resented
the Reconstruction era when racial
equality was imposed upon them.
The 10 year old Civil Rights
Wce-chairman deplored "extrem-
lists" on both sides in the civil
rights struggle. 1t was the moder-
ates he asserted who were to save
the day. Dean Storey said that
there were extremists on the Ne
groes side also. He cited the ter
rible events in the North" in the
Chicago ghetto and in New York,
as examples Of Negro extremism.
He declared that BLACK Muslims"
were not a major force in Amer
lea.
All In all sitting In the USIS
auditorium listening 10 this
wealx-wIIled American, I won
dered what was the use Of peO-
pie dying In Mississippi and Ala
bamA when they can be sold out
so quietly and quickly outside
the country.
Although Dean Storey continued
to say he came as a private Amer
lean citizen there was no doubt
that he represents to the settlers
an understanding American.
Meanwhile back home In New
York, Sen. Allen ]. Ellender Of
Louisiana continued his Islander
Of Africans and American Negroes
while engaging in a televised de-
bate with Senator Jacob X. Javits,
Republican of New York. He used
Washington as an example Of
what he considered the result OF
putting Negroes in positions of
/ authority.
This great city Is q cess-pOol,
as far as crime Is concerned"
Senator Ellender said.
In Washington, he went on, SO
