Important Break-ThrOugh
On Civil Rights

Whether you regard the impending civil rights
compromise sellout, half loaf that's better
than none, a significant victory you win have to
agree on two things: 1T has proved that even the
Republicans disagree with the hne OF the one-party
press that President Kennedy faces deep trouble in
next years election the civil rights issue; and at
the time it indicates that the old Republican
Disdecrat coalition against Negro rights has been
broken up an effective Congressional Device
The compromise which was effected In the
House judiciary committee was possible because the
mOderates of both PARTIES, North and South, are
Convinced that it is absolutely necessary to write
effective legislation in this field The Republican
reacttonaries of the North and the Democratic re-
dictionaries of the South out of position for once
Their old coalition for blocking everything of a
progressive nature has blown up at least on the
civil rights ISSUE
It is interesting to observe that Minnesota has
played a crucial part in an of this It was in 194S
at the DiSdecrats were first served notice. in the
Democratic national convention, that the day of
their mgh-jinlos was near end. And it was the
Minnesota delegation, led by Hubert Humphrey
that forced the issue and got plank which in effect
told the Df1cecrats that the party was unmpressed

progress now.
who are genuinely concerned with the civil rights
issue and conscientiously working to right the
civil wrongs. And again Minnesota shows up in
position of leadership. 1t Minnesota Congress-
man Clark MacGregor who emerged the Repubh-
champion of effective civil rights measure
in the impasse that developed in the House judiciary
committee result of Chairman Emanuel CeHer's
inept irresponsible and incompetent handling of the
matter. MacGregor had drafted bill early in the
session that covered much the same ground as the
Administration bill, and he had worked hard and
conScientouEy 10 push his bill When Celler's in
eptness blew the issue sky high, MacGregor was in
a position to do something positive in support Of
bipartisan bin.
Moreover, the Republicans used Congressman
Charles FIalleck go-between with the White
House the matter When you utter, total
blinkered reactionary like Halec go to work on the
passage of genuine civil rights bill, you have to
admit that there rs indeed revolution going on in
this country.

Socialist Workers Party
Called Escape From
PaoIi&ioS Of ToI


Editor: I am astonished at the
misreading of history and the mis-
understanding of economic forces
that underlie Genevieve Gunder-
sons letter ("Vicims of Race Bias
Belong in Socialist Labor Party
Ranks") in your October 81 issue.
She says that the American
African slave trade was carried
on by "bIood-brothers of the cap
itahsts of today" I have no par
ticular brief to hold for the cap
italists of today or any other day,
but neither do I feel that it is
right to misrepresent the situation
and misstate the facts.
The institution Of slavery in the
Mediterranean and the Middle
East was an ancient and entren-
ched institution before it was
transplanted TO America. And the
trade in human flesh had been
carried on by dark-slinned as well
as Hght-sltinned people. Slavery in
America was doomed perhaps as
much by the growth of capitalism
as by the moral conscience of the
American people. And 1t was DOOM
ed in the Middle East by the power
of capitalist England.
Your correspondent thinks the
victims of race prejudice" belong
in the Socialist Labor party. If
there is one thing they do not
need, it is escape from the realit-
les of today's struggle into a fan
tasmagorfa Of the nature dreamed
up by your correspondent S.GF.,
