Old Party.
Now, however, when Negroes
are a real political power tc
be reckoned with in many sec.
tions of Dixie, this aid has
turned out to be as elusive as
the will-o'- o'-the-wisp or as illus
i've as mirage.
The Republican Party has
made a special appeal directed
at Southern Negro voters. Re-
Gently a special counsel to the
chairman Of the Republican
National Committee called for
local programs to win Negro
voters to his party.
Memphis Picked
He was Grant Reynolds of
White Plains, N. Y, a Negro
and special counsel to Rep.
William E. Miller of New York,
chairman of the Republican
National Committee.
Mr.. Reynolds picked Mem
phis, in the heart of Dixie, to
make his special appeal. He
spoke at a special meeting held
by the Young Republicans Of
Memphis and Shelby County.
1t was well attended by i'm
portant Tennessee Republicans.
Mr.. Reynolds also carried his
appeal directly to Negro groups
and Negro college students.
He told the meeting of white
and Negro Republican leaders:
"It takes votes, not preju-
dice. to win elections.
The image we i've to the
world of how democracy works
here in America will determine
the influence we command in
the councils of the world"
Mr.. Reynolds asserted that
while the Kennedy administra-
ton appoints "a handful of
Negroes to federal Office, the
Republican Party is electing
them to office" AS an example
he cited Edward w. Brooke,
Negro, who was elected
Attorney General of Massa-
chuSetts last November by
about 250,000 votes.
Democrats have countered
by pointing outthat their party
elected Negro to the Georgia
State Senate from the Atlanta
District and that Negroes sit on
local governing groups to
which they have been elected
in several Southern commune
ties.
Record Claimed
Mr.. Reynolds told the Mem
phis meeting:
"We Republicans have
glorious record to show of ac-
complishments in civil rights.
Start with the Emancipation
Proclamation by Abraham
Lincoln. Then add the 18th,
l4th, and 18th Amendments to
the Constitution.
at was under President
Dwight Eisenhower, Repub-
lican, that the present federal
civil-rights legislation was
placed on the books. And it
was Republican Chief Justice
Earl Warren who handed down
the school-desegregation de-
cision in 1854"
Vote Credited
A large Negro vote that
swung In behind the Demo-
cratic ticket is credited widely
among Texas political observ-
ers with contributing greatly
to the election of Gov. John B.
Connslly in the most fiercely
contested general election for
statewide Office In the Lone
Star State in many years.
Governor Connally has rec
0gnized this Negro support by
the appointment recently of q

commission. the first time q

the budget recommends the hiring
of nine new persons for SCAD in

two supervisors, and four field

One of the supervisors will head

this is really twice as many miles

Atlanta, Ga, president of the
Southern Leadership Confer
ence, and nationally known foe
of race segregation was guest
speaker Monday, Jan. %, at
Northrup Auditorium at the
University of Minnesota at $3.50
pm.
DR.. King was presented by the
Council of Student Religious Or
ganizations on the university cam
pus and capacity crowd of 5000
persons listened raptly as he des-
cribed his non-violent philosophy
which has revolutionized southern
racial relations. .

Kings rather quiet platform
presence almost hynotized his lis
teners, as it did two years ago
when he addressed the. annual
meeting of the Minneapolis Urban
League.
His unusual platform power, and
the quiet eloquence with which he
traces the unfairness of the us.
to its Negro population, left his
friendly university audience In
such a trance that it was deathly
silent for a moment at the con-
clusion of. his address, and then
stood on its collective feet and
gave the slightly built leader an
ovation, ..-.
DIR. King was met at the air
port by James Lombard, director
Of concerts and lectures at the
University, Pastors Harry Hulk
hold and Homer Shaffer, advisers
of the Student Council and Cecil
Newman of the Spokesman and
Recorder papers.
At press conference at the air
port for newspapers, radio and TV
DR.. King told the press that the
organization he heads plans to call
nationwide meeting to discuss
plans for a Selective Buying Plan
to channel Negro consumers buy
ing towards those local and ma
tional firms which employ Ne
groes at jobs Of all levels in their
firms.
The Selective Buying Program
which has been highly successful
In Philadelphia, Pa, and other
cities in increasing Negro employ
ment and upgrading is the next
program DR.. King stated was
needed to raise the economic levels
within the us. Negro group.
DIR. King predicted that unless
the US. continued real progress
in race relations, such Negro
NationaIistic groups as the Black
Muslims will grow in member
ship. He estimated the group to
have now between $4,000 and
100000 members.
The cause and reason for the
growth Of such organizations DR..
King said still exist in this nation.
The deprivation, the discrimina-
ton, Illustrations, unrest and dis
content suffered by millions of
Negroes result In the existence and
growth Of such organizations, the
youthful leader told the press. DR..
King in answer to question about
the Supposed black supremacy"
program Of the organization stated
he was Just as much against
'black supremacy" as he was
white supremacy" Both he said
were dangerous to. the future Of
the United States.
Asian and African leaders have
repeatedly told him, King stated
that unless America comes to grip
firmly with her race problem, that
the us. will be relegated to a
second-rate power without moral
or political influence Of conse-
quence in the world OF nations.
King said the much maligned

marched on the home Of Chief
Zaizer Mtanzima, government-ap-
pointed chief Of the Transkei Ter
ritorial authority, with the inten-
ton Of burning down his home.
Rumors had been rife in the
Transkei, that Paramount Chief
Mtanzima and his family were in
grave danger Of their lives, be-
cause Of the Africans anger at
government plans for the Transkei.
This incident took place during the
sessions Of the Transkei Territorial
authority, meeting to approve the
governments draft plan for self
government in the Transkei.
Chief Mtanzima currently is re-
garded as an extremely unpopular
man - so unpopular that he has
to have a strong armed bodyguard
attending him at all time.
To make the situation more I'M
tenable, Randolph Vigne, national
vice-president of the Liberal party
and a representative of Contact
newspaper, was expelled by the
TIA. For some time, Randolph has
been a close personal advisor to
one Of the most controversial and
powerful chiefs in the Transkei-
Chief Sabata Dalinyeo, leader of
the 250,000-strong Tembu nation.
Sabata has always agitated for a
non-racial constitution and insist
ed that a cabinet to govern the
Transkei should be non-racial, COM
posed Of whites, African, Coloureds,
etc.
Following Randolph's expulsion,
Sabata walked out Of the Assemb-
ly chamber, in final protest against
the rugged" constitution.
Another clash between Africans
and police occurred in Queenstown,
where an European detective was
saAamldsaAns6s -asAkh~an dmss~eaR- dAahsk,
cans killed during a battle between
a panga-wielding gang Of Afri-
cans and police at the railway
station. Police had stopped a goods
train to search a passenger coach
in which 80 Africans were alleged
to be carrying dangerous weapons.
The detective was knitted and
hacked to death when the Africans
took exception to the search. Two
saracen armoured cars were dis
patched to the station to bolster
police forces during their search
for the Africans. Tear gas bombs,
lobbed into the goods shed, forced
out six Africans who were taken
into custody.
Although the supreme court Of
South Africa has declared invalid
the "house arrest" means of stiff
ing opposition, yet another journ-
alist, Alex La Guma, has been
placed under "a hours house re-
striction for five years by Minis
ter Of Justice Vorseter. Guma, 81,
was on the staff Of the New Age
newspaper, which is now banned.
He was also one Of the treason
trial figures and one Of the last
to be found not guilty. He had
been detained for five months dur
ing the 1860 emergency and also
for IL days during last years Re-
public celebrations. The only people
he may speak to for the next five
years are his wife, mother-in-law,
and a doctor (who must not be a
banned person..
Thus, with South Africa poised
on the brink Of national violence,
the future looks very grim, indeed.
