policies in Birmingham.
Blough in reply to criticism of
US. Steel in Birmingham said;
For a corporation to attempt to-
exert economic compulsion to
achieve any particular end in the
social area seems to be quite be-
yond what a corporation should do
and quite beyond what it can do"
He said the doctrine of what he
called economic force" is repug-

While Birmingham should be of
utmost Importance to all of us, we
in Minnesota have a long history
of experience with us. Steel. That

Most of the new members appointed by the

Mayor Naftahn Is to be congratulated on his
success in obtaining the acceptances of such fine
cross section of the Gtys populace to first

Confirmation of the group should be pushed
along quickly possible by the city council The
agency should have adequate funds to launch and
effectively pursue municipal backed plan to reduce
the incidence of discrimination and prejudice In
Minneapolis.

under the uncertain and difficult financing by priv

of Mr.. Kennedy, no man can be a

reflect the Johnson approach rath-

to history any judgment about late Presidents
greatness.
Must we?
President Kennedy was cut down during his
first term-a term during which he had TO deal with
Congress which has been almost totally frustrated
by the negative power Of the southern Democrats
and northern Republicans who control it. None of his
major legislation has come close to passing It now
appears that much of it being sabotaged by a
Senate employee who has resigned in the face of
questions about his integrity.
Despite this towering handicap TO his admins
trahon, President Kennedy has turned in record
that outshnes everything since President Roosevelt
and matches anything except Roosevelts since the
turn of the century.
President Kennedy has, by his fortnight stand
on civl rights done more than any other President
to lead this country to mature attitude and mature
policies in this He has pointed the direction,
and has made that direction rreversible He has
doubtedy shortened the time Of our strife and sug-
gle the issue of first-class citizenship for all
Americans.
The late President took office at time Of dan
gerous deterioration of foreign policy, when the
strange mixture of bluff and appeasement which
marked the Eisenhower administration was literally
blowing UP. The Kennedy administration even in
herited and took responsibility for some of the
ploSion In the years since, complete overhaul OF
relations with other countries has taken place
Concepts like the Peace Corps have pushed concepts
like massive retaliation" out Of the headlines At
the same time, firm dealing with enemies has
developed a mutual understanding and respect thai
is making it possible for to trade with them
In area alone the challenge to the Russians on
Cuba, President Kennedy showed remarkable quail
ity of greatness He dealt firmly with Khrlshchev
and forced him to back down At the same time, he
kept the door open to the Russian chief of state
allowed him to save face, and eventually brought
about the easing Of tensions which promises more
hope for future peace.
In his speeches and writings, President Kennedy
has emerged a man with great understanding of
the world in which we i've and deep appreciation
of the American people, their drives capabilities
and needs.
By all means let us leave to history the measure
ment of the late Presidents greatness. But let's
have some Of that history right now
Minneapolis spokesman., 1963-12-12

President Johnson's initial poll
cy address gave the nation and the
world a large measure of reassur-
ance. Mr.. johnson made clear that
the two themes of his White House
stewardship will be continuity and
action. He dispelled doubts that
his priorities would differ from
those of his predecessor. The en-
phasis win remain on civil rights

Humphrey Is Logical
Choice For Democratic
Vice-Presidential Bid

The logical 1854 ticket for the Democrats in
next years election would be Lyndon Johnson for
President and Hubert H. Humphrey for Vice-Presi-
dent Such ticket If developed should satisfy the
liberal northern wing of the Democratic party and
at the same molhfy the more sensible elements of
the southern wing of the party.
Such ticket of course would not be favored by
the Dsdecrat elements which are represented by the
Barnetts of Mississippi the Wallace element of Ala
bama and by individuals like Strom Thurmon of
South Carolina
Nobody of course can be sure that Humphrey,
the best prepared man in the us. Senate today,
after one unsuccessful effort to obtain the Vice
Presidency and another pre-convention defeat for
the Presidential by the overwhelmingly financed
Kennedy Presidential machine, would consider run
ming for Vice-President even if asked to do so by
President johnson. Most certainly he is the most
capable and acceptable candidate whose name has
been mentioned TO date.
There are those among Humphreys friends who
consider that his chances for the Democratic NOM
ination would be good in 196S providing of course
that Lyndon johnson would give UP the job after
one full term and the balance of the Kennedy term
Humphrey is tremendously strong with the
liberals of the nation and also with that part Of the
business community that has had contact with him.
He the strong arm of President Kennedy during
his administration, and he was never too fatgued
to do the arduous tasks which the President asked
him to do There is doubt that he is always loyal
and infatigable worker viii help President johnson
in every way he can.
Humphrey stands head and shoulders above
all other Democratic Vice Presidential prospects
In ability intelligence and understanding of both
domestic and international problems Of this nation
His chief handicap in the political wars was his
fortnight courageous early civil rights posture
which became the Kennedy posture and Is now the
Lyndon johnson position; his residence in a state
with man electoral vote and his unw1llingness to
sacrifice principles for either party of personal ad-
vantage
Senator Humphrey is now only So years of age
and despite his intense energy, has not yet reached
what Is commonly called the prime of life" In
1868 he will only be 81 years of age, still young
enough to give the nation the benefits Of his great
natural gifts OF leadership.
No matter which way the political winds blow,
President johnson and the country will be fortunate
If Humphrey is selected to be running mate for
johnson next year, whether he remains in the
Senate and takes his chances in 1858 He is good
man and Nnnnesotans ought to be extremely proud
of Hubert Humphrey matter what their political
affiliations

its will on a measure which the
nation needs and which, there Is
good reason to believe, a majority

THE result of this foot-dragging

the resentment that has prompted
Roy Wilkins of the NAACP to
warn that his organization will set
