Mr.. Jenkin Lloyd
Jones Again

In discussing the attack upon Negro people by
Jenlin Lloyd Jones' the st. Paul PIONEER PRESS
columnist in editorial Of last week. we did not
mention one curious aspect Of this attack because
we felt that it needed special attention
Mr.. Lloyd Jones (who is editor of the Tulsa
Oklahoma, Tibune) specifically exempted from his
attack the Black Muslns He said they are the only
Negro group which takes any responsibility for the
behavior of its members.
We not interested here in commenting on
the outrageous fasity of such statement or on the
twisted mentality that could make 1t. We are in
terested In noting that Mr.. Lloyd Jones' who has
been at some pains in the past to camouflage his
position, has by inadvertence otherwise bill
boarded himself devotee Of the extreme right
wing In doing so, he has again drawn attention to
the curious affinity that exists between the extrem-
lists Of both ends Of the political spectrum With re-
spect to human relations they both want irreconcil-
able conflict, to the bitter end
They would rather see a Negro leadership
rooted In hatred and dedicated to remorseless war
upon white people, than leadership rooted In rea-
son and understanding and dedicated to the advance
ment Of the human race-which Is the only race Of
mankind. This Is why JenlCln Lloyd Jones attacks
the Negro and white liberals who endeavor to deal
with human problems realistically. It Is why he
openly admires the closely disciplined and highly
fanatic Black Muslins
The Black Muslims have attracted a significant
number Of disciples, and for good reason But the
great majority Of Negroes In spite Of expressions

Naftalin Deserves
Reelection June IL

Mayor Arthur f. Naftalin of Minneapolis should
be reelected H. in the city elections because he
deserves reelection He stands head and shoulders
a dedicated able public servant above his opponent,
former Mayor P. Kenneth Peterson.
Naftalin is not an opportunistc politician. This
may account for some of the opposition to him from
time to time among members of the DFL
party.
In fact Naftalin when the chips down will
refuse to place political interests above the welfare
of the community a whole. We recall very wildly
that when vacancies occurred on the Minneapolis
Housing and Redevelopment Authority Naftahn re-
fused to play politics. but renamed two members to
the authority who doing excellent jobs despite
the fact that they were members Of the Republican
party.
His naming of DR.. James L. Gibbs, associate
professor at the University Of Minnesota to the Min
neapoHs Fair Employment Practices commission
this year was another example of his dedication to
obtaining the best qualified people for public service.
In contrast Peterson's appointment on the COM
mission to represent the Negro community, when
he was mayor purely dictated by political in
terests or what he perhaps considered political in
terests
p K. Peterson had two terms mayor of
Minneapolis. If the city had thought or believed he
deserved another term several more terms, for
that matter, the citizens would have reelected him
two short years a mayor has time to show what
he can do P. K. had two terms and the voters
jected his bid for another term. Apparently they
felt he wasn't doing the job they wanted.
On the basis Of his record Mayor Naftalin de-
serves another term and this newspaper hopes the
voters of Minneapolis return him to office on June
IL He has been a good mayor, more interested in
solving the basic city issues which cry for
ton than in grandstanding and projecting his own
image. Naftalin Is the kind of mayor a city like
Minneapolis needs in these times. He doesn't talk
out of both sides of his mouth on public issues.
This newspaper has been a close observer Of both
candidates In most human essentials which we re-
paper supported P. K Peterson in his first success
full try for public office The main difference which
is important to most Of readers is that Peterson
is conservative He Is therefore supported not only
by regular theological conservatives but by the e1-
treme brand Of conservatives, (reactonaries) most
Of whom opposed to the things which so i'm
portant to particular community.
On the other hand Naftalin is a liberal of the
Hubert H. Humphrey variety, who way back in 1947
the necessity of cooperating with the then
Mayor Humphrey in setting up Mayors Council
Human Relations which has served as an i'm
portant link in establishing interracal rapport in
Minneapolis. Naftalins record on civil rights is
sound, solid and without equivocadon
His civil rights position plus many other at
tributes in our opinion, make him deserving of re-
election to the position of Mayor Of Minneapolis

Urges President Send
Troops Into Every
Southern SfufC

- SNSuS
Editor: Why are so many Of our
leaders silent about the mass dem
onstrations taking place all over
the South today?
Why doesn't everyone speak up
and demand President Kennedy
enforce the Constitutional Rights
Of the Negro people in every
Southern state?
Over 1,400 school children are in
Jail in Greensboro, NC, and 1000
Negroes marched in silent protest
this week. Why do school children
have to go to Jail to achieve their
basic human rights?
There is no real Law and Order
when children are attacked by
police dogs, blown over by high
powered fire hoses, and herded
into Jail. Yet some people tell US
that the President need not act
until Racist Law and Order" Is
shaken by bombs and riots.

city Of Minneapolis, but rather
spent in parroting the misdirected
and personal desires of Frank
Moulton, 10th conservative boss of
the city council.
One newspaper referred to the
Alderman as Tiger Johnson" but
I think that Ostrich Johnson" is
a more apt description because she
certainly has taken a "head-bur-
ied-in-the-sand" attitude in most of
the major problems confronting
the city. She has also turned a
deaf ear to the fervent pleas Of
many 9Th Ward people, especially
in the general area Of the 10th,
18th and 18th precincts.
IF she Is as she says, "a proven
worker" why has she refused to
debate Merle L. Kruschke, can
didate for 9th Ward Alderman, on
the issues peculiar to the Sth Ward.
Why is she afraid to make the
charges in public that she report
edly Is making in private? Why
has she refused to aid in the re-
habilitaion Of the facilities at
Nicollet Field and why has she re-
fused to assist in the development
Of the Southside Athletic Club
Why has she consistently refused
to attend candidate, and other nom
partisan meetings, to answer ques-
tions when they have been held in
the 18th precinct area Of the
Ward?
Not only do the more than fifty
9Th Ward residents, who waited in
vain at the West Central Y.M.C.A.
last Tuesday night MAY 21st) for
the challenged appearance Of the
incumbent do nothing 9Th Ward
Alderman, want the answers to
these questions, there are also
myriad others that need answering
in the 9Th Ward. She was the only
9Th Ward aldermanic candidate
who did not accept the Minneapo-
lis NAACP invitation to state her
views on civil rights.
II Elsa johnson Is naive enough
to believe that the people new to
the 9Th Ward due to the reap
portionment after the last election,
are incapable Of differentiating be-
tween facts and fantasy, then I
am sure there will be no doubt
when the Tigers" roar Is rele-
gated to the abyss Of eternal sill
ence on June 11th.-Yours truly,

Comment On Birmingham & Points South
THE sun TIMES, Chicago)

THE night of terror that erupted
in Birmingham on Sunday was a
foregone result of the tensions that
have wracked that harried city.
The pressure had been building for
weeks and when a sort of easing
had been obtained in an unoffic-
ial truce" it was the lame-duck
officials of Birmingham who, pre-
dictably, increased the tension by
denouncing the truce" and the
Birmingham citizens who had been
a party to the agreement. The
bombings Of a Negro minister's
home and the motel where the
agreements had been drawn up
followed and the hopes for peace
full coexistence while the disagree
ments were being worked out van
ished in a night Of riot.
Now federal troops experienced
in riot work are in readiness near
Birmingham.
(THE POST, Denver)
Whatever quiet attempts are
being made by the Justice Depart
ment to bring a truce in the tense
Birmingham struggle, they need
to be supplemented by a strong
reaffirmation Of our national poll
cy on civil rights.
THE Negroes in Birmingham
are asking for removal Of racial
restrictions in downtown snack
bars, public facilities and stores,
adoption Of non-racial hiring prac-
tees for sales girls and secretaries
and the formation Of a bi-racial
committee to carry on negotiations
for further desegregation.
These are not unreasonable de-
mands in 1868, and they deserve
national support expressed through
the White House. Instead Of only
seeking a truce, the President can
use his position and influence to
support Birmingham Negroes in
a Just cause"
(The Arkansas Gazette, Little
ROck)
1T was predictable that Bull"
Connor would react In character,
falling Negroes by the hundreds,
trotting out the fire hose and the
abominable police dogs, even
though the demonstrations were
peaceable enough at the beginning.
1t was not especially surprising
that, on one day at least, the Ne
gro crowds became almost riotous
under Connors provocation.
For this spectacle Bull" Con-
nor earns the most censure but
neither side in the dispute can es-
cape a share Of the blame. The
somber developments in Birming-
ham work to dispel the hopes

to replace them with misgivings

THE Birmingham crisis cannot
be isolated from the Southern Ne
gro movement for first-class citi-
zenship. 1t must be settled. But
the settlement will mark the close
of one struggle, not Of the move
ment. Therefore it is important
that each party to the drive and
the resistance to it - the Negroes,
the whites, and Government at all
its levels - acknowledge the les
sons Of Birmingham and apply
them in the phases which newt
ably will unfold.
THE United States could not af-
ford its Little Rock and its Ok
ford - or indeed, its Clinton or
even its Norfolk. It cannot afford
its Birmingham or a spread Of
harsh behavior anywhere.
