Letters To The Editor

! groes of this nation in particular
and of the world in general. Let us
not deceive ourselves into thinking
that Kennedy died to advance the
cause of civil rights among man.
kind in general; it was his advoc-
acy of civil rights for Negroes,
that hastened his untimely death
that brought him low.
We may as well face the ugly
facts now as later, that the mar
tyrdom of the late President Is not
going to make much difference
the Negroes fight for his civil
rights. The death of a hundred
Kennedys will not soften the heart
of the Pharoahs of the Old South
to the point, where they will be
willing to let the Negroes go.
So determined were these oppos-
ers of civil rights for Negroes, that
in the hour Of a nations greatest
grief, these opposers were rallying
their forces for a fight to finish.
They let it be known that even
Kennedy's death for the cause of
civil rights did not move them.
The massive resiSters, the would
be inter-positionists, the racists,
the white supremacists overt and
covert, the "never-iSts" have not
budged a bit. With their flaming
sword of race prejudice, they stand
firm ait the gates of the paradise
of the Negro's full citizenship. The
trouble involved getting the civil
rights bill out of committee, gives
an inl1ling of what is ahead for it
comes to the floor Of the House and
Senate, with the filibuster in the
offing.
One reason this writer keeps on
rehearsing the sorrowful story Of
the difficulties ahead Is that it is
not good for the morale to under
estimate the difficulty of the task
that lies ahead. We are trying to
strengthen the hearts Of those who
would despair, if the goal we seek
is not just around the corner.
The cause that engages us Is not
slirmish nor a battle but a war.
Whether in this war for civil
rights we have our Valley Forge
behind us or before us we have no
way of knowing. We have God and
Time and Right on our side. Let us
then press on; for the heart of
mankind is right.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy's death
for our Cause, has done something
to the heart of manlxind.-GOrdOD

The Dallas Morning News

The Dallas Morning News, the newspaper that
won worldwide notordety by greeting the Kennedy
visit to Dallas with a vrllent message of hate, is
active promoter of job discrimination and anti
uionism
The News employment want ads bristle with
"colored" and white" designations, the "colored'
jobs usually being for porters and jantors
The News is also promoter of Texas so-called
right to work" law, which forbids union-shop and
agency shop contracts. This in effect that
the union is required TO provide its services to
members and is forbidden either to require member
ship or to exact payment for the services it per-

Rosen vs.. Keith;
One Would Sacrifice
freedoms Conversion,

Editor: I am watching with
great interest the controversy be-
tween our st. Paul City Commits
sioner, Mr.. Milton Rosen, and the
Honorable A. M. (Sandy) Keith,
our Lieutenant Governor, regard
ing Academic Freedom and its ap-
plication in American life and edu-
cation.
1t Is much harder TO be under
stood regarding one Of the Amer
ican principles of Academic Free
dom when such a wicked phiIos-
ophy as communism is involved
which is so contrary to our Con-
stitutfonal System Of Government.
Both of these gentlemen are fine
Americans, but I feel, however,
that the Lieutenant Governor is
absolutely right in his application
and position of the basic Academic
Freedom in the search for Truth
as guaranteed by our Constitution
al System Of Government. In his
position, however we should bear
in mind this one thing, the Lieuten-
ant Governor is not endorsing the
philosophy of Communism, but
rather is endorsing the American
philosophy of the inalienable right
of man to express his conviction in
his search for the Truth.
Both men are trying to convey
that Communism should not flour
ish in America, but the Lieutenant
Governor wishes that our antagon-
ism against this philosophy should
not be so strong as to be willing
to sacrifice the very freedoms for
which this Nation was founded.
The Commissioner in this con-
troversy is holding to the old phil
osophy that communism Is so bad
that the end justifies the means,
and he is therefore, willing to pur-
sue his course even at the cost and
sacrifice of one of the chief corner
stones of human rights and free
doms of our American Democracy.

The Other Christmas

Yes. There is another Christmas. One that is
apart from the tinsel and glitter, the frantic COM
merciahsm, the competition in show-off f-manship
the Santa Claus jngles played endlessly on the
radio and the boisterous office parties
It is the Christmas of the spirit The spirit that
has endured sometimes we'll concealed, for nearly
1000 years.
1t is the spirit that says: "A new commandment
give unto you: that ye love another; as have
loved you, that ye also love one another"
It is the spirit that says: Peace leave with
you my peace give unto you"
The spirit that says: Render unto Caesar the
things which be Caesars, and unto God the things
which be Gods"
The spirit that says: Thy will be done in EARTH
as it is in heaven"
The spirit that says Let your light shine
before men that they can your good works."
The spirit that says: Blessed the merctfu
Blessed the Peacenakers Blessed are
they that prosecuted for righteousness sake :"
The spirit that says: Man shall not live by
bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out
of the mouth of God"

Sometimes Speed
Is A Virtue

We are sometimes tempted toward the conclu-
sion that the most serious aspect Of the auto ac-
cadent problem is the type of individual who is at
tracted to Safety Council work
While do not personally know any Of these
safety councilmen, their various works have con-
Veyed picture to us. We think Of the professional
safety worker man who loves a clche and who
goes into raptures good resounding plahtude
This preoccupaton with dead language may very
well be one reason for the lack of live, imag1na-
tive program for dealing with safety our streets

and highways.
Indeed much of the body of our traffic la
seems to have been devised for the convenience of
traffic officers with quotas TO meet Very little of
it assumes any good sense whatever on the part of
the driver, and this may be realistic assumption;
on-the-road driver training is not noticeable part
of either safety education or highway natrolling.
We regret to note that the University of Mime
sofa has joined the chche artists. Speed Can Only
Lead to Disaster, reads the bumper sign that Univ
ersity cars now carry. The shal1y syntax of this
slogan bothers less than its lack of meaning, and
we hope that the University will arrange for an ap-
propriate department 10 issue an Interpretation.
What speed for example? High speed? Low
speed? Intermediate speed? Prevailing speed?
Speed of light? Speed of sound? Speed of hare or
tortoise?
And only TO disaster? That's not experience
Occasionally it leads TO Duluth, Kansas City, Wash
ington, Chicago. Without appropriate speed, we
could not get to these places as often as we do
Speed will lead TO the moon and beyond. This is
a disaster? Speed-more of it than the enemy could
muster-led us to victory and away from disaster in
two world wars.
This preoccupation with speed as the villain in
auto accidents because it is factor in many serious
ones leads to ridiculous things. A twin cities
newspaper columnist a few months ago devoted
fun column to denouncing motorists who start up
fast when the traffic light turns green Starting fast
from dead stop implies fast acceleration but moth
ing like high speed, the lights most streets being
timed for 80 miles hour less. Yet this news
paper denounced cowboys the drivers who are
considerate enough TO get traffic moving at once
when the go sign is And the writer inadvertently
identified himself of those grandmotherly old
fuddieduddies whose eisurely and inattentve driv-
ing contributes to the appalling traffic sna-ups we
occasionally see.
High speed as such is not always virtue, to be
sure But we wish that the chche artists and plati
tIde punds would begin to recognize that it Is not
always an offense and that sometimes it is very
much a virtue.

The University Answers
The KnOw-NOthings

All MinneSotans can be proud of their Universi-
ty and the Board of Regents for the stand they have
taken in the face of Know-Nothing campaign by
the American Legion and others to interfere with
the Undversity's academic freedom.
Targets in this campaign were primarily the
Student Peace Union the World Affairs Center, and
two professors. The University and the Regents
reacted to the pressure brought upon them in a
mature and sensible way. The regents pointed out
the dangers of fanatic angry and irrational be-
havior," and declared that national goals must
include continued freedom, concern for the rights
of others, political and spiritual tolerance :" Then
the Regents threw down the glove at the people who
In the name "Americanism" try TO deny others the

It would be interesting to hear what Milton
who has been active in the campaign against free
inquiry at the University has to say about this chal
ienge (Many of our readers will remember Rosen's
defense of Birmingham, Alabama shameful treat
