Auburn Has
Orders To
Enroll Negro

MONTGOMERY Ala. (UPI)
u. S. District Judge Frank
M. Johnson today ordered Au-
burn University to accept a Ne
gro graduate student and en-
joined school officials from
maintaining segregation.
The federal judge ordered Au-
burn to accept Harold A. Frank

will become the fifth member of
his race to enroll in a state
supported white college in Ala
bama. Three other Negroes
were admitted to the University
of Alabama this summer and
another to Florence State Col
lege.
In oral arguments Auburn
contended Franklin was
turned down because he was
not a graduate of an accredited
college, Alabama State College
for Negroes at Montgomery.
johnson dismissed the conten.
ton on grounds it was simply
an excuse to preserve segrega-
ton at the land grant university.
The sweeping order Restraints
Auburn officials from pursuing
the policy of segregation and
forces them to accept all quail
fled Negro applicants.
The order also dismissed Au-
burn registrar Charles W. Ed
wards as a defendant in the
case.
Franklin graduated from Ala
bama State in May of last year.
He wants to get his masters
degree in history and political
science at Auburn.

ton Of the Chief Executive Is
not held on fixed dates but
only when the consensus In a
country demands that the
voters be given a chance to
approve or disapprove of the
incumbent legislature and
administration. A majority
vote in the Parliament fixes
the time for the election.
In the United States today,
campaigns are longer than
they are in Britain, Yet with
plenty of TV and radio time

C essity for transforming
tours and long trips by the

The late President Kenne-
dy felt that he had to make
many personal appearances
in different parts of the
United States as early as a
year before the election. He
was actually on a political
trip to Texas last month,
though there we're some non
political gatherings that he
addressed on the same jour-
ney. The theory has been ad-
vanced that a TV appear

sues doesn't take the place of
Misunderstanding with local poll

were not required at fixed in
tervals but only when a ma
jor national issue was up for
decision by the voters-there
would be no need for the
numerous campaign trips be-
fore the national conventions
which some Presidents in
both parties have felt they
had to make.
The difficulty with a fixed
election date is that often no
single issue happens to be
outstanding at the moment.
Yet, perhaps a few months
later, something of vital i'm
portance does come up and
public opinion then has no
opportunity of expressing it.

the will Of the people shall

time and someone chosen for
the presidency who will deal
with particular issues as the
people desire.

appealed are left without a
spokesman on the national
scene. unless it is to be the
Senator himself.
1t may well be that the
emotional state of the coun-
try may make it impossible
for any such pronounced
critic of President Kennedy's
policies to maintain a nation
al political status. But it can
not be known how long this
emotional state will last, nor
if it will finally penetrate
that Senator Goldwater was
a personal friend of Presf-
dent Kennedy and spoke OF
him only in terms of per-
sonal respect.
The theory upon which
Senator Goldwater's demise
is based is that he was typed
as the opponent of a now
martyred President. and that
Mr.. JohnSon's ascendancy
has robbed him of potential
Southern support.
This conceivably could be
true, and still not be relative
to the desires Of Republicans
and Southern Democrats
who wished a conservative is
sue to be made against the
K enn edy administration.
That issue would become ir-
relevant only If President
johnson were to make a
longer departure from the
Kennedy policies than now
seems to be the case.
1t would be unwise to u1-
derestimate President john
sons capacity to appeal to
progressive people in both
political parties, and this Is
the reel threat to any Re-
publican candidate. whether
it be Gov. Rockefeller, Sena-
tor Goldwater or some less

the Presidency would hold
traditional Southern views
on the race problem.
The new President has ap-
parently sensed. however.
that the Southern attitude
toward President Kennedy
was composed of other i'm
pOrtant factors.
One Of these is the general
conservative or liberal orien-
tatiOn Of the Kennedy
administration. aside from
the racial question. This hap
pens also to be the en-
lIghtened Republican view Of
the problem. Leaders like
former Vice President Nixon
as well as Senator Goldwater
have thought that Republi-
can prospects in the South
we're to be more realistically
linked with modern conserv-
atism than with the racial
issue.
There is something of this
in President Johnson's ap-
proach. His early emphasis
on frugality and economy in
Government expenditures re-
fleets that approach. But he
waters 1t down by retaining
in key positions the close
Kennedy advisers who never
were concerned by the steady
rise in Government expendi-
lures and who stand today as
symbols of the big govern
ment" approach to national
problems. He has also set the
early tone of his admins
tration by his conference
with personages who rep
resent liberal thought in the
Democratic Party.

Certain glimmerings OF
reality now penetrate the fog
Of the johnson succession to
the presidency. One is that
the new President is estab-
fishing an identity with the
liberal wing Of the Democrat
ic Party. The other is that
the widely heralded demise
Of Barry Goldwater as a
presidential candidate may
be a bit premature.
One conclusion follows the
other. For, If President John
sons identity is to be as lib
eral as that of President
Kennedy. and if there is to
be no difference between
their administrations, then
there Is still room for a Gold
water in national politics.
The question here is
whether or not President
Johnson can succeed in mag
netizing both political poles.
This Is clearly what he is
trying to do. He would retain
the sectional sympathies
which attach to him in the
South while by deed and
word assuring the Northern
Democrats of his liberal con-
victions.
This may prove hard to do.
1t has been done before but
under different circumstan-
ces. In the present atmos-
phere certain contradictions
are involved which are hard
to overcome. Mr.. johnson S
model and mentor, Franklin
D. Roosevelt, could do it in a
time when there was nothing

cial turmoil. In the present

needy. Mr.. johnson was telling
his friends that the Negro
campaign for equal citizen
ship would reach a new in
tensity in the next four years
and would present the gra-
vest challenge to national
leadership. AS chairman Of
the Presidents Committee to
Eliminate Discrimination in
Federal Employment, Mr..
johnson delivered an almost
endless series of addresses to
Negro audiences across the
country. Although few Of
these speeches were widely
reported, he worked on them
with very great care and
they form an impressive tes-
lament to his hatred Of or
gained injustice.
Those speeches are aglow
with the principles made
familiar to us by President
Kennedy himself. They ex-
plain why the Negro leaders
have such unhesitating trust
in the new President. It is no
exaggeration to say that
these leaders have aban-
doned the prejudices and
misconceptions which once
clouded their judgment of
Mr.. johnson. The same IL
beration from ancient error
will take place If liberals in
and out OF Congress consent
to Judge him on his presiden-
tial record and actual per-
Torrance. That is all he asks
now.
President johnson intends
to cultivate q close but infor-
NAL relationship with liberal
scholars outside the member

months he hopes to establish

II President johnson Is

personal relationship with
the academic community,
and to foster an interest in
the arts as part Of Americas
tradition Of excellence, it by
no means follows that he will
adhere to the precedents set
in the Kennedy admins
tration.
Those precedentS cannot
be separated from the per-
Sonalities of President and
Mrs. Kennedy. The new
President would merely be
acting a part If he tried to
sponsor cultural events in
the Kennedy manner. He can
best serve these national ide-
ais Of excellence by support
ing them in his own way,
sincerely and without osten-
tation, and by allowing Mrs.
johnson a large share of in
dependent authority in these
matters.
President johnson has al
ready delivered a personal
message to Congress, to trade
union leaders, and to execu-
tiveS Of the business COM
munity. There has been no
occasion for a similar mes
sage to the representatives of
the liberal tradition in the
world of scholarship and the
arts: But they have been very
much in his mind, even in
these last crowded days.

There has never been a
period like the present in
American politics. It battles
the opposition party, of
course, but it points up as
well a far more startling
weakness in the presidential
system than even the law by
which successors to a Presi-
dent who dies in office are
designated.
The weakness Is the obli-
CATION written in the Consti-
tuition requiring that presi-
Dental and congressional
elections be held at fixed
times.
No Vice President who has
succeeded to the presidency
heretofore has had such q
short unexpired term to
serve as does President Lyn-
don johnson. There are few
er than IL months before the
next presidential election.
When President Lincoln
was aSsassinated in April,
1855, there we're three years
and IL months ahead for An
drew johnson before the end
of the presidential term. He
was not elected for another
term. When President James
A. Garfield died in Septem-
Der, 1881, from wounds in
flicted by an assassin, there
we're three years and six
months before the next inau-
guration date. His successor
as President, Chester A. Ar
thur. was not renominated
by the Republican Party.
When President Mckinley
was shot in September, 1901,
there were three years and
six months in the White
House ahead for Vice Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt,
and the latter was inaugural
ed in his own right on March
4, 1905.
AS for the Presidents who
did not meet a violent death
but passed away as a result
of illness while in office,
they. too, left to their success
sors fairly long unexpired
terms. Thus, President Will
liam Henry Harrison died
one month after his inaugu-
ration in 1841 and was sue
ceeded by John Tyler, who
did not serve another term.

In the Democratic Party a
position Of great Importance
is held by the writer's and in
tellectuals who belong to the
Liberal tradition. That elusive
term can be defined as a phi
losophy whose primary pohti-
cal loyalty requires obedience
to the principles followed by
Roosevelt and Truman and
Kennedy. The scholars en-
braced by this definition may
lack the visible trappings Of
political power, but they can
set the tone of the party's
discussions and their disap-
proval is no small burden to
their leader.
1t requires an effort Of
memory, after the events of
the past three years, to recall
that President Kennedy was
not always the favorite Of
the intellectuals. Some had
given their hearts to Adlai
Stevenson. Others questioned
the depth of Mr.. Kennedy'S
commitment to scholarship.
A few, who knew him best,
never doubted that his presi-
dency would bring about a
partnership between politics
and scholarship more init
mate and rewarding than
anything known in this CEN
fury. In the end their faith
was justified, but three years
ago they belonged to a defin-
lite minority.
When he was the domi-
nant figure in the Senate,
Lyndon Johnson had few
links with the academic COM
munity or with accredited Ii
beral spokesman. During this
period many wrong impress
sions took root, and it was
not always easy while he was
Vice President to remove
them.
1t is, for example, a terri
BILE injustice to think that

become such an ardent ad-
vocate of Negro rights out Of

Short Johnson Term Seen Pointing Up
Weakness in Presidential System

Vice President Millard Fill
more. who succeeded Presi-
dent Zachary Taylor in 1850,
had two years and eight
months to serve as President,
but did not win the nomina-
ton for another term.
In more recent times, Vice
President Coolidge had a
year and seven months in
the presidency before the
end Of President Harding's
term, but Vice President Tru-
man, who succeeded Presi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt
in April 1945, had three
years and more than nine
months before he finished
the unexpired term. Mr..
Coolidge and Mr.. Truman,
respectively, were then elect
ed President for q four-year
term of their own.
President Lyndon johnson
will have had about IA
months in office-the short
est period Of all-in filling
out the current term, and he
will be confronted with q
presidential campaign begin
ming less than nine months
from now.
In virtually all other cases
where a Vice President has
succeeded to the top office.
there has been time for a rec
ord to be made, and hence
both parties have had an OPP
portunity to establish their
principles in the mind Of the
electorate. Mr.. johnson must
90 before the people largely
on the record Of his prede-
ceSsor. When the issues on
which such intense opposi-
ton was provoked in the last
two years or more are exam
ined, 1t will be found that
the new President will have
a difficult task convincing
those independent voters
who disapproved of Kennedy
policies that he shares their
concern, while at the same
time he will have to prove to
the Kennedy followers that
he is holding the line that
the preceding President
championed.
The truth is that the pc
Rod before the presidential
election in 1854 Is too short
for both sides. Under a par
