Luther King in Georgia when he
was campaigning in 1860 for the
presidency, John F. Kennedy was
regarded by Negroes as having a
sympathy for their cause, un-
matched by any other president.
Since Emancipation, only the
late Franklin D. Roosevelt ap-
preached the confidence of Me-
groes, large and small, enjoyed by
President Kennedy.
While many believed President
Roosevelts compassion for the Ne
gro stemmed more from his sensi-
tive wife, Eleanor, he was never
as fortnight on racial issues as
President Kennedy.
As a senator, he showed no
indication Of the depth Of under
standing he later acquired about
racial matters.
Perhaps no President in the his
tory of the United States, with the
exception of Abraham Lincoln who
was also assassinated, served In
the White House at a time when
racial issues were of greater na-
tional and international Rignific-
ance.
In contrast with the days Of
Lincoln, every utterance, every
action by President Kennedy on
racial matters was under close
scrutiny by the world.
During President Kennedy's ad-
ministrauon more than a score Of
African countries, unknown except
to geographers in Lincoln's day.

United Nations.
Their emergence from obscurity
and the sympathy of their black
brothers in the United States made
President Kennedy's attitude on
racial issues of paramount import

Local Publisher Wos
Guest Of Kennedy
On Two Occasion.

Since John F. Kennedy took the
Presidency Cecil Newman Twin
City publisher has been a guest
at the White House on two occas-
ions. In December, 1861 he was
among 25 Minnesota editors the
President invited to lunch with him
at the White House.
In February this year on the
occasion of the birthday anniver-
sary of Abraham Lincoln, Newman
was among the 800 whites and Ne
groes invited to a buffet-reception
at the White House.
Newman says he first met John
Kennedy at the national Demo-
cratic convention in Chicago in
1856. The second encounter was
in the Senate dining room in 1857,
the publisher stated.
The editor stated he had regular
ly received Christmas cards
from the Kennedys. as thousands
of other citizens undoubtedly have,
since 1855.
/ Newman felt the death of Presi-
dent Kennedy was a setback to
the nation. However he told re-
porter Art Michaelson on a live
broadcast over wTCN-TV Nov. %
he felt that the new President Lyn-
don B. Johnson would press for the
passage of the civil rights legisla-
ton which is now in Congressional
committees.
The publisher of the Minneapolis
Spokesman and st. Paul Recorder
papers claimed President johnson
as a national statesman has no
choice except to support such leg
islation because passage of civil
rights laws Is a necessity.
A story in the Saturday, Novem-
Der % edition of the Minneapolis
STAR quoted Newman as stating:
The assassin's bullet snrffed out
the life of a man who had con-
tributed as much to the cause Of
human freedom as his predecessor
Abraham Lincoln.
"The shock of this tragic event
should galvanize the country into
making right any domestic or in
ternadonal problems we face"
The paper reported Newman as
asserting that Mr.. Kennedy had
contained the American Negro re-
volt in such a manner" that to
a large degree he averted a situa-
ton which could have rended the
country apart"
Newman stated in the article
he has faith that President
Lyndon Johnson, a Texan will
carry on the civil rights battle.
II have a feeling that when a man
assumes the leadership Of all the
people he becomes a dedicated per-
son-closed off from regional re-
straints and looking at the country
as a whole" Newman told the
STAR reporter.
