Kennedy Tells
Daily Editors Of
Neqro'S Problems

Washington (ANP) - In an
address before the annual conven-
ton of American Society Of News
paper Editors President Kennedy
emphasized that the Negro popu-
lation of an average American city
is Disseminated against in housing
employment, education and wages.
Using a mythical Random Viii
lage," to illustrate life in America,
President Kennedy explained the
role of the racial minority group in
several areas of the American &C.
onomy as under-privileged.
The President urged, I'VE must
continue our housing and urban
renewal program for example -
because one-fifth of the houses in
Random Village where only 100
citizens live land 10 per cent a
racial minority are classed as
'deteriorated or 'dilapidated.'
Because of race discrimination,
the Negro families in Random Vii
lage are more than twice as likely
to have poor housing" he contin-
ued.
That the Negro child has only
two-thirds as much chance of fin
ishing high school as the average
citizen is an even more depressing
statistic because only "16" of Ran
dom Villages "24" children will
graduate from high school and
only "9" will enter college. The
percentage of Negroes with a good
formal education, then, is minute.
Of the "7" graduates who will
not enter college, most Of them
find college too expensive - too
expensive for the whites, and
more so for the Negro who is likely
to earn only half as much money.
With the increase in job oppor-
tunities and higher incomes, more
Random Village citizens will be
employed, but the ratio hasn't
changed; Negroes are still twice as
likely to be unemployed. The Pres
ident stressed.
The people in Random Village
may be mythical, but the lop-sided
odds and striking ratios exist in all
racially prejudiced neighborhoods
that aren't willing to continue our
efforts against racial discrimina-
ton"

St. Paul recorder., 1963-05-16

there has been no general protest
in the American press against this
use Of police dogs" One Of the
reasons, I presume, is because they
have not been used against the
wrong kind of whites - white
Baptists in the South and white
Protestants in the North and West.
Nevertheless, 1 do not see how
religious leaders can remain
quiet in one presence Of this
type Of mans inhumanity to
man. 1t would seem that across
the land thousands Of preachers
would bear witness against this
type Of Savagery. But few II any
voices are raised against this
brutal practice.
In my opinion, the Negro press
should mount a crusade against
the use Of these police dogs" 1t
has become clear that these dogs
are meant mostly for Negroes"
But the crime Of using them Is
against humanity. There are five
Negro members Of Congress. ]
have not heard their voices raised
against these dogs.
The Constitution plainly guar
antees citizens the right to "as-
semble peaceably." That Is what
was done in Birmingham. But Eu-
gene Bull Connor ordered the use
Of these dogs against praying men,
women and children. Is not Connor
guilty Of a crime? What Is ag-
gravated assault and battery any
how?
Can't Connor be brought into
court and made to face up to this
felony and his encouragement OF
it. He took pure delight as he

Atlanta (ANP) - us. Atty.
Gen. Robert Kennedy declared here
last week that he does not con-
slider the BLACK" Muslims sect to
be subversive but warned that the
continued treatment Of people as
interiors could drive them to op-
posite extremes.
You can't expect a group of
people to continue to be treated
as inferior, Kennedy told a news
conference here. 1T would be the
most natural thing in the world
(for them) to go in some different
direction" he added.
Kennedy made the comments
after concluding a whirlwind "cour-
tesy tour" Of Alabama, South Car
olina and Georgia. From Atlanta
he continued south to visit his
father at the Kennedy's Palm
Beach, Fla, resort home.
Kennedy discussed civil rights
and school integration with Cows.
George C. Wallace of Alabama,
Donald Russell Of South Carolina
and Carl Sanders Of Georgia dur
ing the tour.
In Columbia, s. c., he said that
world conditions impels the United
States Government ito do every
thing possible to eliminate racial
discrimination"
To those who complain about
current racial troubles, Kennedy
said such problems do not COM

Dogs Used On
Certain Citizens
BY P. L. PRATTTS

Who in this civilized land first
came up with the idea that 1t
would be good and virtuous to turn
loose savage, so-called police dogs
on citizens of this republic?
How does it happen that so far
these dogs have only been used
against Negroes or other minority
groups such as the Italians in
Chicago?
What good Protestant thought
up the notion Of spreading demo-
cracy by defying the United
States Constitution and turning
fire hoses and dogs against citi-
zens assembled peaceably to pro-
test their grievances.
think It Ii both immoral and
Illegal to turn dogs loose against
citizens, whatever their color.
1t is immoral and Illegal to use
human beings as their victims.
The United States Constitution
guarantees the right Of all citizens
to assemble peaceably and protest
their grievances. In Birmingham,
Ala, the law enforcers" simply
ignore the mandate Of the Con-
stitution.
Instead Of dispensing the white
mob which Is bent on violence, the
police use their inhuman power
against those who assemble peace
ably and who try to pray and sing
their grievances away.
1t is surprising indeed to me that

watched the n.....-rs rum" What
would he do If such dogs were
turned loose against him? Would
he stand still and fight the savage
dogs ? I doubt 1t.
1 think there ought to be a
federal statute, II none exists,
against the use Of these dogs
against human beings. I have
been trying to find the record Of
the use Of these dogs In any
other civilized land. / can't find
the record.
Only in democratic America are
these dogs used and then only
against minorities. No wonder
there are those who bewail the
loss Of character In our society.
Which one Of our congressman
will first raise his voice in the
House Of Representatives against
this brutal misuse Of dogs In
Mississippi, Alabama - and even
Illinois? Why should not these
dogs be quickly and permanently
outlawed?

BE PATIENT

BE PATIENT
There is no failure, no defeat,
Except what we ourselves admit.
No barriers can hold us back
Through what we have or what we lack;
For 10, the opportunity
Within us lies, to do or to be!
There is no burden howe'er great,
But we can rise from meath its weight;
No obstacle but overthrown,
Will serve us as a stepping stone
To far-on heights of mastery
What we determine we can be!
No seeming i'll can stay the flow
OF good to us when we but know
That with its Source we are one,
That in its course our course Is run.
God-given opportunity
What we determine we can be!
