The popularity Of jeeps as
family vehicles has prompted a
flourishing racket in which
thousands of persons have been
hilked of sums ranging from
SAD to several thousand dollars,
aDefense Department official
disclosed yesterday.
THE latest reported victim is
a irresponsible representative of
a major research firm in the
Washington area" who gave
$500 to q fast-talking man
for 100 non-existent surplus
military jeepS.
The buyer, who thought he
had made a shrewd investment,
planned to sell them for $50
each.
A HyattSville woman, whose
husband and neighbor intended
to buy one from the research
firm employe interrupted the
sale when she called the De-
tense Department to ask about
military policy regarding sur
plus equipment.
The Defense authorities i'm
mediately investigated. The re-
search firm representative
learned on Friday he had been
duped,

take and declined to help po-

in this area. offers police their

tim has indicated his willing

Bureaucracy
Assume Powers

An instructive lesson in how our governmental
bureaucracy can assume powers which it does not
rightfully have and can take over the legsla-
tive powers Of Congress Is to be found In ruling
of the Small Business Administration which recently
came to light
The SBA has decreed that cooperatives are not
entitled to SBA loans This decree is totally without
foundation authority In the statutes passed by
Congress. 1t has been issued purely the basis Of
an assumption Of powers by an SBA administrative
bureaucrat
This means, for example, that much Of the rural
economy of our country, undergoing revolu-
ton which is taking millions of people out of agrcul-
ture is deprived Of government help through SBA
to establish agricultural processing industries close
to the homes Of those being displaced by agricul-
ture. This deprivation means that a good deal of
rational planning will be taken out Of the process
Of developing rural industry and jobs The process
will be hit-ormiss basis We do not believe that
this is what Congress intended.
The SBA's decree Is discriminatory and unfair
in other ways For example half dozen enterpris-
ers getting together to establish a super-market can
qualify for government finance. Half a thousand
enterprsers getting together to do the thing in
the same place cannot If their objective is to serve
themselves on cost basis instead Of to some
body else at a profit
This is ridiculous The sBA has assumed powers
1t has no right to assume. Perhaps Congress ought
to do something about It.

It's all about the sales tax. Our fellow states
are taking advantage of u.s. says the Tribune.
Travellers from Minnesota shell out to support

Minnesota get off scot Free they pay not cent for
anything they don't get.
This Is bad? This Is something we want to

want to give up? This is tourist attraction that
we don't want to keep? This is a retail commercial
attraction that want to destroy? How ridiculous!

(The Tribune missed a percentage point there. Chi
cagoans have to pay IS sales tax every 500
they spend). We suspect that nowadays it is more
likely that the Chicagoan visiting Minnesota might
be attracted to stores and shops and that this
five per cent advantage might be at least part OF
the attraction.
We say, let Chicago take its 5 per cent. We
prefer to have the vacatoners from all over the
country. And they will be welcome to spend their
money in Minnesota stores and shops without any
penalty whatever.

Mass Media Hides
Part Whites Play
In Demonstrations

Mass media, the press newsgathering services,
radio and TV have a common fault in reporting the
racial demonstrations against discrimination which
going on thruout the nation. Despite the inter-
racial character Of many demonstrations participat
ed in by both whites and Negroes, the media usually
indicate that the events are Negro Demonstra-
tons"
This goes even on TV newscasts when the
cameras reveal that many Of the protest marchers
are whites, who are marching alongside Negroes
against the practices Of racial discrimination and
oppression. This must confuse many viewers who
know Negroes from whites when they them, and
may be at loss when the broadcasters call the
marches demonstrations by Negroes"
There is a tendency when the presence of
whites among the demonstrators Is reported. to play
down their presence except when some noted white
churchman is arrested as happened in the Maryland
amusement park demonstrations Of few days ago.
This country can take comfort that even before
the nation was ten years old there whites with
the moral courage to denounce slavery and mans
nhumanity to man. In all Of the hue and cry Of the
black nationalists for American Negroes to embrace
race hate weapon and tool, it should not be for
gotten that now as $50 years ago there are white
and women who believe firmly in human
equality that they willing to brave DEATH mprts-
onment ridicule and ostracsm to demonstrate
along with fellow Negro citizens against the crime
discrimination.
These factors either overlooked or neglected
by the newsgatherers for mass media in the US,
which should be presented part of the total story
and coverage Of the domestic racial crisis which
faces this country.

unfortunate, because it placed that

Thinks Pastors Actions
Relieved Tensions In
poIiea Rornhinn SeePa

Editor: I have heard consider
able criticism of the action Of two
Minneapolis ministers in attempt
ing to raise funds to reimburse the
police officers whose homes were
bombed.
However, though I question the
precipitate action which In the
minds of many unthinldng people
might indicate the pastors thought
your community felt some guilt,
I think the gesture on the whole
had a tendency to relieve a certain
amount of tension which had been
building up at that time and was
increased by the bombing incident,
Therefore I think the benefits
Of the action by the Revs. Jr,
Holloway and 8. r. King out
weighed the negative aspects Of
the program.
I do think the possibly inadvert-
ant identification of the NAACP
Minneapolis spokesman., 1963-07-11

would decide to take up a collec-
ton for the two officers before
"the smoke had cleared away"
The gesture itself was a good
one, but was it not ill-timed? It
was certainly most embarrassing
to the Negro community in view
of all that has happened during
the past few weeks.
Had there been an emergency
created as the result Of the bomb
ings, or bodily injury or some
proof that a member or members
Of the Negro community was in
volved in the crime, the actions Of
the two pastors would have been
fully justified.

thetic person and in the past could

believe 1t would have been far
more creditable to await the find
ings Of the FBI, the state and
local law enforcement agencies as
to who committed the bombings
rather than to commit a portion
of the Negro community to a fund
raising effort - and implied as
sumption Of a guilt that nobody
has charged the community with.
Let me add finally, that no one
could have more respect for the

A Civil Rights Line
That Won't Work

Any enlightenment we can get on the unen-
hghtened and altogether confused COP line on civil
rights is welcome. Senator Thruston Morton, the
Republican Whip and top policy-maler contrbut-
ed to the enlightenment Meet the Press two
Sundays ago. Enlightenment that Is 10 say, not Of
COP policy but Of what that policy is.
It's stin unenhghtened, confused, benighted, and
unacceptable to anybody who has the least concern
for civil rights Even Senator Morton does not seem
to know what the Republican policy is on the ISSUE
He thinks maybe they will reject the Administra-
lions legislation which Is based upon the Commerce
clause Of the Constitution in favor Of line support
ing legislation based on the Fourteenth Amendment
but then again maybe not.
They will reject the Commerce clause approach
II they do because People not commerce"
This may be very comforting to the Negro who
wants to carry a little commerce with a cup Of
coffee and a sandwich or with the comfort station
In hotel or bus terminal and who finds that under
the Republican concept of the Constitution he Is
ineligible.
Thanks to some perceptlve questioning, Senator
Morton admitted that by playing it cagily the Re-
pubhcans hope to pick up great deal Of political
advantage. They frankly out after the Southern
White Segregationist votes which they expect to
deliver them big block of Dixie electors. And they
hope to retain big section Of the Negro vote (The
age of political miracles, they obviously believe, Is
not yet over.)
There is shocking cynicism in this approach.
They hold on to their Negro supporters only by
fooing the Negroes by embarrassing the Dixie
voters. And while the double-cross Is not unheard
Of in political circles, convinced that at this
time this is not what Senator Morton has in mind.
But he's wrong about the Negro voters.
