like in the handling Of the Negro
community for many years.
1t is believed that the police
would have resOrted to more
overt brutality II the city's
power structure did not fear the
resultant revulslon Of the rest of
the nation.
Large newspaper chains, press
associations and the national radio
and TV have corps of newsmen
watching every development in the
tense city.
So far the struggle has been be-
tween the Negroes of Birmingham
and the police with the white civil
ians standing by as bystanders
often being allowed to see the dogs
chase Negro marchers and the fire
hose brutally played upon the
teen-ager marchers who sing on
the march and sing in the jail as
they are booked.
Tuesday, May 7, following the
march on a Birmingham depart
ment store and the stoning Of a
deputy sheriff and the injury to
Negro minister, Gov. George
Wallace, whose campaign and in
inaugural promises to keep the
state segregated touched off the
Birmingham trouble, has ordered
200 highway patrolmen into Birm-
ingham to help keep order.
1t was expected that President
Kennedy may make a statement
at his press conference this week
on the Birmingham situation pos
sibly deploring the use Of dogs and
fire hoses against the children
demonstrators.

ward capable people on the basis
Of merit and performance"
Vice President Gerry E. Morse
said he was pleased and encour-
aged by the results Of the first
year under the Plan for Progress.
Morse signed the agreement, to-
gether with Vice President Lyndon
Johnson, at Washington in Febru-
ary 1862.
"The committee and Honeywell
both recognize that full use of this
equal opportunity by minority
groups will not be achieved i'm
mediately," Morse said. However,
we anticipate continued progress.
1t will take time and the efforts of
many people to make this plan a
success.
Each supervisor throughout the
Honeywell organization bears the
responsibility of carrying out the
spirit as well as the letter of the

fuSal to answer plea for help at
midnight, he said there are three
types Of Negro churches that simil-
arly fail to heed the midnight
knock on the door.
One, he said freezes up; it
boasts of dignity and is nothing
but a social club with a thin ven
eer of religiosity.
Another burns up; it's members
have more religion in their hands
and feet than in their hearts, and
its preacher confuses content with
volume.
And the third is so other-wordly
that it has no social gospel; it
worries about mems souls but not
about the slums that corrupt them
1t is midnight, he said in the
worlds social, psychological and
moral orders.
He took as his text Luke XI
verses 5 through 8, which read, in
part: And He said unto them,
which of you shall have a friend,
and shall go unto him at midnight
and say unto him, friend, lend me
three loaves and he from within
shall answer and say, Trouble me
not: the door is now shut, and my
children are with me in bed; I can
not rise and give thee"
1t is midnight in the social order
DR.. King said, when a nation
founded on the principle of equali-
ty still is arguing whether the
color of a mans skin determines
the measure of his character -
and when men can be Inundated,
dominated and exploited by their
fellows.
Mans physiological midnight is
obvious, DR.. King said. The men
tai wads are overflowing and the
best-selling books are those that
tell the reader how to find peace
Of mind. Man never has been so
frustrated and beWildered, he said.
AS a result, he said, the popular
preachers are those who preach

La Fargo noted that all minor

groes, came here voluntarily with
a desire to be absorbed. The Ne
groes came involuntarily but their
situation has resulted in a strong
desire for integration. The Indian,
however, was here first.

They draw back from the thrust

They are:

do not push your personality at

do not expect the Indian to ac-

do not condescend.

Birmingham BY Wire

-
Twin City dailies carried fairly
full press accounts, stories and pic
lures of the Battle of Birming-
ham"
The St. Paul DISPATCH in a
strong editorial Saturday, March
4, charged Alabama and Mississ-
ippi were competing to see which
state could embarrass the United
States before the world.
The DISPATCH editorial stated:
Alabama and Mississippi seem
to be competing to see which can
do the most to disgrace America
in the eyes of the world.
The sickening spectacle of Birm-
ingham police setting vicious dogs
on Negroes marching in a non
violent demonstration for their
rights as citizens will be relayed
around the globe. 1t ranks with
the riots against admission Of Ne
gro James Meredith to the Univer-
sity of Mississippi as evidence of
the survival of brutal bigotry in
these backward states.
Continued refusal to grant
equal rights and opportunities to
Negroes makes increasing turmoil
inevitable" warns Attorney Cen
eral Robert Kennedy.
THE Birmingham situation has
reached a point where it could
easily explode into a bloody race
riot. More than 400 men, women
and school children have been ar
rested for daring to take part in
organized protests against segre-
cation practices.
1T is true that the Negro lead
ers may be unwise in subJectng
children to the dangers of partic-
ipation in the demonstrations, but
on the other hand the Negro popul-
alton Of Birmingham has prac-
ticed patience under severe condi-
tions for years.
What is called for in Birrning-
ham now is not intensification of
Police Commissioner Bull" Con-
ner's brutal methods, but action
by public officials to bring white
and Negro community leaders into
conference on peaceful means Of
restoring quiet to the community.
And peace will not be found per-
manently until Negro citizens are
granted equal rights and justice"

Much of his work has centered
on television, an industry with
which he virtually grew up, but his
illustrations and cartoons have
also appeared in such magazines
as "The New Yorker" and "Satur-

Son of Birmingham, Alabama,
minister and concert singer, Olden
attended Washington, DC. public
schools and Virginia State College,
where he majored in fine arts.
Olden first began to draw when
he was in kindergarten, but talent
apparently had not asserted itself
then. He still remembers with a
smile the teasing he received from
his little classmates for an eight
legged cat he drew.

cultural background and social
status as is also true Of other
ethnic groups in America.
But the Indian because Of his
enforced isolation Is misunderstood
to a greater extent than the Ne
gro who has made a determined
effort to integrate himself into
the mainstream of American life.
Both are victims Of stereotype
thinking.
One of the nations foremost
authorities on American Indians
has drawn up a list of rules for
those who, in their professional or
private lives, have dealings with
Indians in an urban setting.
He is Oliver La Fargo, Pulitzer
Prize-winning author Of Laughing
Boy, a novel of Indian life in the
Southwest, and currently president
of the Association on American
Indian Affairs, Inc. La Fargo, who
lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico,
prepared his list in response to a
query from the Chicago Commit
tee on New Residents.
Chicago, with its 5000 Ameri-
can Indians, has been called the
nations fourth largest reserva-
ton"
La Fargo emphasized the need
to first get at misunderstanding
that are deeply planted in ordinary
American thinking.
THE ordinary American" he
wrote, has three stereotypes that
he applies to American Indians.
Often he thinks of Indians in the
confusion of all three at once.
lone is the stereotype Of the
Noble Red Man, expressed to some
extent by the tendency to turn
male Indians into chiefs and fe-
males into princesses, another is
the stereotype Of the lazy. crafty,
drunken Indian, and the third is
our established expectation in re-
gard to all minorities.
THE first thing a non-Indian
must do If he wishes to approach
Indians is to rid his mind Of all his
preconceptions and prepare him
self to face a human being en-
dowed with the usual range Of vir-
tues and faults, plus a conditioning

Birmingham, Ala, May T.
DR.. Martin Luther King, presi-
dent of the Southern Leader
s hip Conference announced
here today that despite the fact
tn at Birmingham jails are
jammed packed with almost
$500 Negroes the campaign to de-
segregate Birmingham public fac
iHties will continue.
DR.. King again at a press con-
ference reiterated the minimum
goals of the month long desegre-
cation drive were:
1. A fair policy Of employment
of Negroes and their upgrad-
ing when deserved on the
basis of seniority, ability and
job performance ON jobs al
ready held by them.
2. Desegregation of all down.

ing retail store lunch count
ers, restrOOms and drinking
water fountains.
s. Establishment Of a bi-raciaI
committee to study and rec
Ommend broad steps towards
desegregatiOn, including the
city's public school system.
A. Dropping Of all charges
against all persons arrested
for picketing, parading and
other peaceful demonstrations.

ported Bourke Marshall, chief of

70 the demonstrations.
GregOry's appearance symbol
lied that people outside the
South, many Of them prominent
are with the Birmingham Ne
grOeS.
Prior to his arrest Monday
Gregory had visited Greenwood,
Miss, where Negroes were arrest
ed for trying to register and vote.
In that city the police refused to
arrest Gregory, apparently on the
premise his prominence would
backfire publicity-wise on the
town.
The st. Paul branch Of the
NAACP In identical kilograms
to President Kennedy and At
tOrney-G General Robert Kennedy,
urged the federal government to
halt the harrassments and ar
rests Of Negro Americans" in

how to relax"
1t sometimes seems, he said,
that the Gospel has been RENTER
preted to read: Go ye into all the
world and keep your blood pres
sure down; and 10, 1 will make you
a weu-adjusted man"
DR.. King said the worlds moral
order now was determined by ma
jority vote. The eternal absolutes
are being forgotten and men are
concerned only with conforming,
getting by, and getting away with
what they can, he said.
Today, he said, it is survival Of
the slickest," and the 11th Com
mendment is Thou shalt not get
caught"
He said that this midnight often
was interrupted by knock on the
door of the church. And the church,
Negro and white, often has made a
miserable showing in responding,
he said.
In South Africa, 100000 per-
sons are segregated to 2 per cent
of their land and the greatest sup
porter of the system is the Dutch
Reformed Protestant Church, he
said.
The Church of England took no
stand during the years Of British
colonialism and exploitation, he
said.
And in the United States, he
said, II am. Sunday is the most
segregated hour there Is, and Sun
day school is the most segregated
school of the week.
Referring to the struggle under
way in Birmingham, he said that
trying to block integration was
like Standing on the beach of his
tory, trying to hold back the tide"
The Negroes cup Of endurance
runneth over" DR.. King said, and
segregation will not withstand his
determination to be free.

gestions for its peaceful solution.
The same reports indicate that
after the first meeting Of the
group, the first Of its type in
Birmingham history, there had
been no change In the respective
positions Of either the Negroes
or the whites.
1t is reported however that the
meetings Of the group will con-
tinue.
Meanwhile American Negro citi-
zens all over the nation and JUS
tice loving members Of the ma
jority group are alarmed and in
dignant against the situation in
Birmingham which is disgracing
the entire U.S.A.
Widespread editorial criticism Of
the handling Of the children in
volved in the non-violent have ap-
peared in the press of the east,
north and west with a surprising
number of critical editorials ap-
pearing also In the southern daily
press.
The latter papers, however
continue to blame the demon
strations on "Outsiders," ignOr-
ing the fact that the nOn-VioIent
Southern Christian Leadership
Conference is sOuthern-Ied from
top to bottom.
The appearance in Birmingham
Of Dick Gregory, popular comedi-
an Monday and his subsequent ar
rest four hours after he arrived as
he led a group Of sign carrying
teen-agers was a dramatic turn
