Atlanta Educator Predicts Worse
E Economic Plight For Negroes

Shreveport, La, March II =
Twenty-Five years from now the
position Of the Negro economi-
cally may be worse than it is to-
day.
So said DR.. Benjamin E.
Mays, president Of Morehouse
College, Atlanta, Ga. The oc-
casion was Memorial Services

the st. Rest Baptist Church,
Rev. J. B. Simmons, pastor.
More Negroes viii be holding
top jobs in government and in
dustry, but the vast majority of
Negroes who are semi-skilled or
doing common labor will be out
Of work and on relief. Automa-
ton will have taken these jobs.
The only ray Of hope, DR..
Mays said, was that Negro lead
ers - teachers, ministers, civic
and social organization heads
would awake the Negro and mo-
tivate him to prepare for tomor-
row by diligently applying HIM
self to qualify for highly skill
ed jobs.
No race of people have ever
had freedom given to them, said
the speaker. The United States
had to fight for freedom from
England. The Negro has to earn
his by blood, sweat, tears and
suffering.

Invariably, these mer-

The FBI director said that

Mr.. Hoover said that the

there are others who, though
they are genuinely convinced

never know they were

unwittingly have become
dupes Of the Communists.
The FBI tries to ferret out

these organizations generally
are unaware of just who are

Mr.. Hoover's speech is q
significant pronouncement
on a subject which has

n airmen. Far from
trimming to suit Mr.. Nc
Culloch, the discharge
petition goes against one Of
his firm convictions: He has
never supported a discharge
petition in the past. Far
from moving in sneakers. the
discharge petition Is a
dramatic step designed to
evoke a public campaign for
the civil rights bill by Negro
and church groups. It is a
pure case. in other words, of
the exact opposite of the
Kennedy technique. It is q
case Of trying to build a
majority from the outside In.
To be sure, the thrust for
the discharge petition did
not come from the White
House, and President john
son moved to soothe the Re-
publicanS as soon as they
we're aroused. The initiative
was taken by one Of the best
known of the liberals, Rich
ard Boiling Of Missouri. But
the crucial thing is that the
White House was obliged
to go along. Because Of
President Johnson's need to
WOO the Northern liberals, he
could not say No to them.
And that pattern is likely to
continue. Unlike such
adjustable matters as style
and philosophy. it is built
into the political system.

not only the Northern
liberals, but also Southern
Democrats and Republicans.
Twenty-three Southerners,
for instance, voted with the
administration to expand the
Rules Committee back in
1861. To clear the House
Judiciary Committee, the
civil rights bill was carefully
tailored to meet the
Republican member - Will
liam McCulloch, an Ohio
conservative. Key votes
supporting the measure came
from two Southerners on the
committee-Jack Brooks Of
Texas, and Frank Chelf of
Kentucky.
The condition Of these
unlikely majorities was the
blurring of public issues. 1t
was necessary to make
accommodations on the
inside. because in most cases
Representatives and Senators
were being asked to vote
against the prejudices and
short-term interests of their
constituents. They had to be
wooed away from their
constituents by private deals
and understandings. To fan
public interest by dramatic
moves and open discussion of
naked issues would have
been fatal. The whole
operation had, at all times,
to be conducted in sneakers.
Compared to the typical
Kenn edy operation, the
situation created in the
House by the discharge
petition is as cheese to chalk.
Far from making it easier
for Southerners and
Republicans to back the

Exact Opposite of Kennedy Technique
Seen in Dischorge-Petition Approach
JOSEPH KRAFT

Continuity may be the
magic word. But after two
weeks q major difference
between Presidents Kennedy
and johnson is becoming
apparent.
The distinction does not
arise from inside the White
House. It has almost nothing
to do with philosophic
outlook on such matters as
Government spending. Still
less 1t is connected with style
that Journalistic cliche, so
much in current favor as a
cover for analytic
incompetence.
On the contrary, the
difference springs from
forces outside the White
House. 1t has to do with the
taking of distances by the
President from various
partisan groups for the
purpose of achieving national
leadership. John F. Kennedy,
being suspect to conservative
opinion, had to lean over
backwards so as not to seem
merely a man Of the liberal
North. Lyndon johnson,
being suspect to liberal
opinion. has to lunge forward
so as not to seem merely the
man Of the conservative
South. And a prime example
of the contrast is the current
effort to pry the civil rights
bill loose from the House
Rules Committee by means
Of a discharge petition.
The hallmark Of President
Kennedy's relation with the
Congress was the building of
majorities from the inside
out. BY patronage, cajolery,
manipulation, and trimming,
the Kennedy administration
stuck together some of the
most unlikely political
combinations. These included

President Johnson might be-

as President Kennedy was his
own Secretary of State, he's
likely to be Indignantly re-
minded by a enne dy
mourner that the late Presi-

Congress Is subdued. The
members were exhausted
from their endless session
anyway, and recent events
have rendered them all but
inSensible. Mention of Presi-
dent Johnson's honeymoon

Sardonic remarks. Those who
note Senator Byrd's resist
ance on the tax bill and Rep
resentative Smiths on civil

Behind the scenes the
professional politicians are
feverishly attempting to
adjust to changed conditions
and a new President.
Lyndon johnson differs
from John F. Kennedy in
background, temperament,
style and spirit. He shares
some Kennedy virtues and
processes the Kennedy aims.
But his faults are entirely
different and this is where
the politicians must change
pace, both Democrats and
Republicans. Democrats have
a new product to sell and to
defend. Republicans will run
against a fresh set of faults.
The 30-day period of
mourning added to the near
approach of the Christmas
holidays cloaks much Of the
current discussion. Still, it is
starting to break through,
and it can be expected to
erupt when Congress con-
venes in early January.
For example, there is the
cautiously worded statement
by the House Republican
Policy Committee. 1t says
that we should not lose sight
of why we mourn but adds:

Probably no man In the
Government Of the United
States is more familiar with
the infiltration which the
Communists are carrying on
In this country than J. Edgar
Hoover, director of the Fed
eral Bureau Of Investigation.
When he makes q speech,
therefore, on this activity, 1t
may be inferred that some
thing Is going on under the
surface to which public
attention needs to be drawn.
Mr.. Hoover. in an address
Just delivered here in con-
nection with en- award Of
merit given to him by the
brotherhood of the Washing
ton Hebrew Congregation,
described the Communist
operations inside this coun-
try. and said:
I'VE are at war with COM
munism and the sooner every

ICES this the safer we will be.
Here in the United States,
the cause of international
communism is represented
by the Communist Party,
U. s. "A cunning and de-
fiant subversive conspiracy
which is financed, directed
and controlled by the Krem-
lin. Its membership consists
today Of a hard core Of
revolutionary fanatics who
are knowingly and eagerly
subservient to the dictates of
Moscow. The dupes, the
dissidents and the faint-of-
heart have long since been
purged from the party's
ranks"
Mr.. Hoover urged Negro
leaders in the United States
to beware Of the attempts by
the Communists to infiltrate
the movement for civil rights
and warned them that the
Russians have tried and are
still trying to take a hand
behind the scenes in the civil
rights movement. He added:
To-day. the Communists

campaign to divide and
weaken America from within.
