is no Yankee apple polisher.
President johnson. in fact.
hesitated a bit over this Sc
lection. This was not out Of
the smallest doubt Of Mann's
capacities. 1t was because
this, his first major appoint
ment, necessarily would in
volve q man from the Presi-
dents native State. If domes-
tic politics had been a point,
Mann would not have been
the choice. The President
went ahead in the conviction
that the problem of assisting
Latin America to come
through the twin curses of
left-wing and right-wing ex-
tremism, fed by poverty and
disorder. Is exceeded in grav-
ity only by the problem r
keeping peace in q nuclear

Rocky Road Ahead
But to say that few pub
officials have ever enter 2.
high tasks with more wide
and generous backing is not
by any means to tell the
whole tale. All is not now
well; everybody will not now
live happily ever afterward.
No informed person can
doubt that the road ahead
will be very long and rocky.
No informed person can
suppose that, either, even the
most gifted director here Of
Latin American affairs can
do in one year, or two, or
five, all that must be done.
Given great good fortune we
may now be at the beginni''
of a phase of possible soiu-
tons for a huge area bedev-
lied by Castroism on the left,
right-wing dictatorship on
the right and. often, public
apathy in the middle. That
is the best that can be said.

DR.. Martin Luther King When the Paris, France
newsmen asked him about the violence being prac-
ttced against Negroes who were attempting to ex-
erctse their right TO peaceful assembly and petition
Rev. Graham criticised the Birmingham movement
unwdse and untirnely and inanuated 1t would do
the cause Of racial justice good.
If Rev. King and his followers who were risIxing
jail, police dogs and frehoses had taken Mr.. Gra-
hams advice there probably would not even today
be any civil rights legislation before Congress for
decision.
1t seems to this newspaper that the Rev. Mr.
Graham had better stop running around the world
trying to convert other peoples to the cause OF
brotherhood as exempuned generally in theory by
Christian religion until he is willing TO take the side
Of true brotherhood here at home.
The Graham evangelistic program a great
business based in Minneapolis has come along way
since its leader preached to racally segregated
vtvas in his native Southland. We had thought that
Graham after his New York campaign had paused
to review the inconsistency so long praciced by
many predominately white religious denominations
and had decided to preach brotherhood, which in
reality Is all sound civil rights Is. However his Paris
statement and his gratuitous statement in Calf
orTia on the day before the March Washington
return him to his former place on our suspect list.

Rev. Billy Graham
Goes Back On
Our Suspect List
EDITORIAL


Evangelist Billy Graham who has been this
newspapers suspect list for 10 these many years.
the matter of his actual honest TO God position on
civil rights, put his foot in his mouth" again the
other day.
Just as thousands OF Negroes and aroused white
citizens led by Catholic Protestant and Jewish
clergymen marched to Washington, the Mr.. Rev.
Graham told a California audience according to the
wire services, that demonstrations (sic) and
treme attacks on American race discrimination
would not do the job
His message was sent over the airwavOs at
moment when could tell whether the March
On Washington" was going to be successful not.
His remarks from this point certainly did not ap
pear to be attempt to help the march but to
impede its progress Instead Of congratulating the
outstanding church leaders who announced
participants in the march, Graham sounded a pessi-
mistic note.
Graham did the same thing at the heig1th of
the Birmingham campaign led by a fellow Baptist.

Mimi. "Morch On
Washington Was ALL
American In Mokeup

The hu1ldred-strong delegation
with the gold and orange arm
bands representing Minnesota was
swallowed like a drop in a bucket"
among the 100000 civil rights
marchers last Wednesday. But it is
doubted that any delegation was
any more diversified in its compo-
sftion than the group from Min
nesota.
With regard to race It was rep
resented by Negro, Japanese, In
dian and Caucasian. National Or
fgin included German, Swedish,
Norwegian, Polish, Japanese, Jew
ish, Italian, Russian, Irish, and
French.
The clergy was well represented
in the Minnesota delegation with
20 ministers, priest and rabbds
present. There were IA Protestant
clergymen, four Catholic Priest,
two Rabbis. This clergical force
represented eight denominations.
They represented congregations
totaling almost 10000.
Further statistical breakdown Of
the Minnesota delegation revealed
that It included the following:
13 housewives, two unemployed
persons, two university professors,
four persons in the newspaper
field, one professional photograph
er, four high school teachers, five
congressional aides, secretary to
the Governor, one metropolitan
mayor, and one executive from the
us. Department Of Agriculture.
Twelve major Human Rights
organizations were represented.
Matthew Little, chairman Of the
organizing committee said he felt
that the varied composition of the
Minnesota delegation Indicates the
breath of concern for civil rights
in Minnesota. This Is not a Negro
problem, but an American prob
lem" he stated.

Gives A.P. Randolph
Greet Ovofion
BY ADOLPH j. SLAUGHTER
(ANP Washington Bureau)

(ANP Washington Bureau)
Washington (ANP) - Dramati-
cally and impassionately, A. Philip
Randolph told scores Of the ma
lions top press men and women
that America completed its econ
omic salvation by saving the Un-
ion, during the Civil War, but for
got the Negro slaves.
The Father OF the March on
Washington said the Negro is not
free today because the Civil War
revolution was never completed.
Broken Promises
The venerable head of the
Brotherhood Of Sleeping Car por.
ters who became the second Amer.
dean Negro ever TO speak before
the predominently white National
Press club, charted a history of
broken promises by America TO its
largest racial minority.
Negroes Fought In Civil War
Although Freedmen fought in
numbers approaching 2O0,0 to
save the Union which might have
lost the war without their help,
President Andrew johnson, said
Randolph, gave amnesty to the
South; returned the plantations to
the South, and thereby forced
freedmen back TO the plantations
and slavery.
Randolph, dressed In a black suit
and a black tie, received a stand
ing ovation when he entered the
jammed banquet hall Ito give his
widely publicized address. He told
his listeners that the March on
Washington Movement was de-
signed TO effect the dramatization
Of the civil rights movement, and
served as a commitment by Ne
groes all over America, along with
their white brothers.
The March, he said, focused
world pressure on the United
States and indicated that this
country must step UP the struggle
to wipe out race bias.
Africa, he continued, would
not trust America unless it kept
Its promises to the Negro, and
white participation will show
that we are going to keep our
people at home.
He ended once and for all the
simmering controversy over spec
ial treatment" for Negroes by ex-
planning that Negroes must have
preferential treatment II they are
ever to catch UP with the white
mans standard Of living.
Although Negroes are roughly
10 percent Of the population, 40
percent Of the Negro beenagers are
unemployed, while only 16 percent

he was jumping around swapping
pictures from different angles; or
he might have been a news re-

But mostly he was just one Of
200, 1000 persons dramatizing the
need of immediate Federal action
to assure all citizens first class
citizenship.
No one clapped harder than he
at the conclusion of the many emo

At times he became tired, as did

Point Of African Unity

The whole point of African unity as was
in the case in the freedom struggles, is In
fact the reassertion of human dignity in our
continent. Economic improvements are
vital aspect of this but they cannot stand
alone; we contemptuously reject any ideas
of plenitude in slavery. The unity we aim
at must bring with it both economic
strength and the self confidence which
comes from the security of personal and
community freedom. It must assist . the
people Of Africa to rise out of the centuries
of degradation which they have suffered,
into a position where they walk as free
men.-Julius Nyerere.
