Speaking in the USIS auditori-
um, the place where Senator FL
lender of Louisiana made his now
infamous address to Africa, Dean
Storey went out of his way to ap-
pear to be hth and kin with the
white Southern Rhodesian and
South African journalists. Ignor-
ing the African journalists present
Dean Storey played down the rea-

and equality. He repeated several
times the pious phase of Southern

Alabama; his grandparents fought
In the Confederate side in the Civil
War.
Dean Storey, an old-timer, had
trouble even pronouncing the word

In talking about the struggle for
integrated education he referred
to Negroes as them" and they.
A white South African journalist
kept after the aging jurist as to
why the Negroes were all Of q

the day. Dean Storey said that
there were extremists on the Ne
groes side also. He cited the ter.

Although Dean Storey continued
to say he came as a private Amer.
