years has been the organized protest which has
brought these outrages to the attention and the
conscience Of all America.
People who abhor violence are affected very
deeply by the reports coming out Of the South
Many people do not understand that this violence is
normal and everyday to the South and the only
difference Is the determination Of the victims to
put an end to it. They are naturally persuaded by
the campaign Of the David Lawrences, the Richard
Wilson's, the william c. Whites the Arthur Krocl1s

the violence stems from the organized protest

Gallup Gallops To An
IncOnclusive Conclusion

The newest Gallup poll Is on predictabe sub
ject and draws predictabIe conclusions.
The public, opines Gallup, Is withdrawing It's
support from the Administrators ntegration pro-
gram. The ratio Of persons saying the program is
enough, says Gallup, was two to one in the May
Survey, three 10 in the June survey In the lat
est survey, the ratio Is now four to one
Poor Mr.. Gallup has one devil OF a time with his
surveys. This change from TO In May to 10 !
in August means actually that the percentage of
people surveyed who believe the President is moving
too fast has increased from a minority Of 36% to
a minority Of 48%. majority of the people sur
veyed land suspect that the samphng Is not
weighted in favor Of the civil rights postion) con-
tinue to support the Administration program or a
strong civil rights program turns out to be 50 per
cent majority In favor!
This survey comes at about the time Of what
seemed to have been an a1l-Stops-out campaign, by
press radio TV, congressional oratory and cock
tail party to persuade the American people that the
program was going too fast, and that the demand
for civil rights was at the root Of the violence
ders mass arrests and all the rest Of the attendant
evils.
It seems clear by now that the American people
have not bought that campaign. Many good people
have been affected by 1t, 10 be They people

on many occasions, been inversely
proportional to their positions. It
is high time they realized that this
fire ought to be snuffed out other
wise its indiscriminate flames will
lick their race.
Mozambique, Angola, South At
rica and other African nations are
still pregnant with color prejud-
ices. The whites walk on the
shoulders of the Africans with
spiked shoes. The independent AZ
rican nations can use the same
weapons used by their brothers in
the United States, as well as dip
lomatic strength and material
backing. Every African must be
free: every black man must be
free!
Our war must at the same time
be waged vertically. We should
fight beyond color and racial
frontiers for the liberation Of all
races and, finally, for the advance
ment Of mankind. Every inch Of
ground we gain has to be mobil-
ised fully. We have to exploit all
our potentaities to a maximum.
Accidentally, the young genera
ton should follow the footsteps Of
Meredith with the intention Of

ledge. Spiritually, we should follow
King in endeavouring to direct
mankind towards the higher; and
physically, we should attempt to
develop our skills in jobs and bus
inesses with the hope Of cresting
the economic hill.

START A RIVER OF BLOOD

Obviously the authors and circulators Of such
insdious trash also have their target not only
the Negro but the idea Of world government and the
world court. The imminence Of victory for the
American Negro in his long struggle for first class
citizenship in his country Is bound to inflame
those who want the status quo, maintained. The
type of Grass propaganda above shows the despera-
ton Of some Of those opposed to the rights Of the
nations colored people, and the dishonest lengths to
which they will go to discredit those Americans
white and black who think the time has come for
America to get her racial house in order.

elimination Of the German Jews and the deaths OF

Against Best Interest
OF Police & Community

Apparently the police both locally and through
out the country, determined to oppose and re-
sist all community efforts to tensions arising
out of the use Of police power in dealing with racial
relations.
The proposal by the Minneapolis Mayors Com
mission on Human Relations to set up an advisory
board to hear complaints has been damned by In
spector Ray Peterson, apparently speaking for the
Minneapolis police department "pseudo-legal'
and a national police organization has charged tina
such review boards violate the fundamental Hbert-
les" of policemen.
Both observations strike US as nonsense They
also strike being against the best interests Of
the police as well Of the community. We suspect
that the scratcness of the police in reactng to all
suggestions for meeting the problem we face stems
in large measure from a well-founded guilt
pick. In any case inspector Peterson ought to be
more careful with his language in discussing
fully considered proposal offered by distinguished
and well-informed group of civc-minded people. To
suggest that they putting forth fake proposal
Is both insolent and false. What they proposing
Is informal extra-legal procedure to resolve
complaints whenever possible before they reach the
stage of legal proceeding. The latter is costly
often unsatisfactory, and sometimes emotonaly
shattering to the accused The difference between
the two proceedings is the difference between Let
together" and "I accuse" The police don't
want to reason things out?
They would do well to consider carefully
the alternatives Here and the country over we are
bound to have and more incidents in the future
This is in the nature of the situation. Everybody
understands this, and everybody understands that
the blame responsibility, will be both sides.
This is why we are discussing means of resolving
the problem and promoting better understanding
without having to decree the guilt or innocence of
the conflicting parties to blame and pen
alties. The police have said they don't want this.
The alternative, then Is to bring formal charges
against police officer, each time he is involved in
incident in which somebody feels he has griev-
ance; to subject the officer to trial and to approp
rate punishment If he is guilty Is this what the
police want? Is this what they regard as their
fundamental rights?
We suggest that they think this over again. We
do not think that they will be the losers in policy
Of moderation involving the give-and-take discus
sion of conflicts with board Of citizens especially
informed about the problem. On the other hand, an
insstence upon legalistic procedures in every case
is going to keep some Of policemen mighty busy
defending themselves-and considering the climate
of public opinion today the experience is not going
to be very pleasant.
What we need is more discussion and debate of
the problem and less of the frame of mind that leads
a spokesman for the police department to accuse
responsible citizens Of putting forth fake proposals
