NY, clubs. All the same, industry
sources say that Ballantine beer is
highly popular in Negro neighbor-
hoods and that this popularity
helps make Ballantine the biggest
seller in most parts of its market
ing area in Eastern states.
Other companies also partici-
pate in Negro community affairs
as part of their public relations
programs. F. & M. Schaefer Brew
ing Co. of New York sponsors a
Miss Beaux Arts" beauty contest
for Negro girls that parallels the
Miss Rheingold" contest staged
by the brewers of Rheingold beer.
Pepsi-Cola Co., whose Philadel-
Phia bother several years ago ran
into a boycott that lasted until 1t
agreed to hire more Negro route
statesmen, helped speed its return
to favor in Philadelphia by spon-
soring a Negro debutante ball.
Hamilton Watch Co. provides cal
endars Of Negro civic and social
events for free distribution in Ne
gro communities. This summer
Ford Motor Co. launched a special
promotion among Chicago Negroes,
offering test drives Of Ford cars
to members of Negro clubs and
fraternitieS.
The companies that succeed with
promottonal efforts aimed specif-
ically at Negroes feel Negroes ap-
preciate the special attention. But
some firms are reluctant to give
the impression they view the Ne
gro market as something special
or different. They reason that Ne
groes might resent being singled
out at a time when they're striv-
ing for greater acceptance in all
areas Of the nations life.
One Mans View
I'VE try to act as If we don't
even know there Is a Negro mar
ket," says a spokesman for one Of
these companies. I'VE don't think
the Negro likes being singled out
for special wooing. And we have
to admit we have quite few white
customers who would resent our
attempts to curry favor with Ne
groes If they knew about them"
Even some Of the companies that
have just begun to use Negroes in
ads firmly insist it's simply chance
that Negro models are suddenly
appearing. New York Telephone
Co. recently ran a newspaper and
showing a Negro businessman US
ing a pay phone. "a man of action
knows - you get action when you
telephone" read the ad. The COM
pany would have you believe race
wasn't considered in planning the
ad; the picture merely happened
to be a better phot8 than a SIM
liar shot with a white model" says
a spokesman.
Some firms have encountered
difficulties in their effort to cap
ture a larger share Of the Negro
market Heublein, Inc, a distiller
and food professor, feels it has
hit a stone wall. The Negro mar
ket Is a good one, but it's never
been good for u.s." says an official.
For some reason we've never
caught on with Negroes despite
our special advertising to them.
But this is such a large and i'm
portant market we just have to
grit our teeth and hang on"

means of lessening the impact of such

Some Of these organizations have, in
fact, become big business enterprises in
which the charity factor is subordinated
to other purposes although still serving

In court, Judge william M. Hudnet

long records OF similar offenses, let them
off with fines. And he added rather
apologetically the penalties we're not

They Will Shoot U.s.

The United States can do many
things. It's officials can speak of our
"overkill" nuclear capacity-of our abil-
ity to absorb the first blow and still
destroy an aggreSsor. 1t can compel
Nikita KhruShchev to remove his mis-
siles and bombers from Cuba. It can
lend military support and moral COM
fort to the U. N. effort to crush the
Katanga secession. 1t can promise that
it will never remove its military shield
from the people of West Berlin. 1t can
send American forces into the jungleS
of South Wet Nam to train and assist
in the bitter war against the Commu-
mist guerrillaS.
But it can do nothing for 80 Chris
tian peasants who journeyed more than
1000 miles from Siberia to Moscow in
search of American aid-nothing, that
is, except hand them over to the Soviet
authorities.
These wretched, ignorant people ap-
parently thought the Americans could
get them out of Russia or possibly grant
them asylum in the United States En-
baSSy. OF course, it was not possible to
do the first and at least not feasible to
do the second. So nothing was dome
just as nothing was done to assist the
young East German who was shot down
and left to die across the line in Berlin.
But 1t may not be quite accurate to
say that nothing was done. In Washing
ton, a State Department spokesman is
sued a declaration of deep distress"
In Moscow, American Embassy spokes-
men, claiming that this was security"
matter, forbade photographers to take
pictures. Then, at Russian suggestion,
our people erected a plyboard fence
to hide the scene as these miserable
peasants were being herded aboard a
bus by Soviet authorities. Later, the
fence was taken down and reporters
watched as the last of these would-be
refugees were hauled away.
No security" measures could drown
out the despairing protest Of one man
who was heard to cry out: They will
shoot u.s." Perhaps they will for this
tragic little episode will be embarrassing
to the Kremlin. Maybe they will not,
for these 80 Christian peasants can be
sent back to areas in the vast reaches
of Siberia where their cries of "persecu-
ton" will never be heard again by out
siders.
All these people wanted was religious
freedom. One ShudderS to think what
they will get. What damning indict-
ment of the Soviet Union! And what
a pity!

Mr.. Romney's First Bid

Michigan'S Governor George Rom
ney picked familiar phrase in the con-
text OF our times when he asked for an
end to "the cold war" that has plagued
the Wolverine State, politically, in recent
years. For the workings of politics are
such In Michigan that there has been
a longtime stubborn stand-off, at best
trading relationship, between a Dem
ocratic executive branch and a Repub-
lican-controlled Legislature. It has
worked, not surprisingly, to Illustrate or
to force compromises in many areas of
State administration.
Mr.. Romney, a Republican new
conner to big-time politics, starts his first
term as Governor with certain things in
his favor. In last November's voting, the
q. o. p. retained a safe margin In both
branches Of the assembly. In addition,
several Republican veterans in the ex-
treme conservative wing were eliminated
in earlier months through primary de-
feats, voluntary retirements or death.
And wisely, between his election and his
inauguration, Mr.. Romney has been in
close consultation with the party lead
ers who must help fight his battles in
the Lansing capitol this winter.
The new Governors legislative pro-
gram and his budget must be presented
this month"; and details have not vet
been made public. Looming beyond the
legislative session Itself, however, is an
other statewide test on April when a
referendum is TO be held on revision OF
the Michigan constitution. As citizen
vice president OF the drafting conven-
tion, Mr.. Romney has direct stake in
the constitutional reform. Democratic
leaders already are campaigning against
1t. The real answer, as far as party VS..
party is concerned, TO the Governors
appeal for a cold war truce may not
be evident until that voting date.
Meanwhile Mr.. Romneys own skill at
working with the legislative profess
sionals OF his own party will offer a
significant measurement OF his stature
in his new career

Fireworks Ahead

The wheels Of the biennial 90-day
working session of the Maryland Gen
eral Assembly have begun turning with
the SmoothneSs Of a well-oiled machine.
In a message oozing confidence, Gov
ernor TaweS proclaimed, and accurately
so, that the "State of the State" reflects
an area of unprecedented prosperity
sound in growth and economic stability.
His choices for the leadership Of the
Legislature slid through without hitch.
On opening day at least, despite Repub-
lican gains and the factional Democratic
splits of the election year, the Governor
was firmly in the saddle.
1t is state Of serenity, however,
which is purely temporary. For while
the priority legislative program of the
T1weS administration is sound, and de-
serves support, its elements are the most
controversial to come before the As
Sembly in years.
OF foremost interest to residents of
the Washington suburbs is the Cover
nor's call for new congressional resid-
tricting plan to replace the hastily
drafted scheme which the voters reject
ed overwhelmingly in November. Mr..
Tawes is quite right when he says the
at-large election Of Maryland's eighth
congressman is a situation I'VE should
not allow to continue" His message
indicates, however, that he is fully aware
Of the problem of passing an adequate
substitute in this session. The admin
iStration has wisely put aside the ques-
tion OF permanent reapportionment of
the General Assembly until 1864, by
which time the Supreme Court surely
will have established some guidelines to
assure urban voters of more adequate
representation in the legislatures Of the
States. And there is reason to believe
that until the Maryland Assembly itself
is fairly reconstructed, the accomplish
ment OF truly equitable congressional
rediStricting plan may be difficult in
deed We hope this is not the case, and
certainly the effort should be made this
year. As a practical matter, however, the
possibility of stalemate must be faced.
Some observers believe that an even
rougher fight may rage in the Legisla-
ture this year around the drive to outlaw
slot machines, the outcome of which is
likely to rest on the degree Of pressure
that Mr.. TaweS actually chooses to exert
in its behalf. And in the final analysis,
OF course, the same may be said of the
four other commendable proposals in
the major administration program-the
expansion and improvement Of higher
education facilities along the lines of
the Curtlett Commission recommended
tions, the prohibition Of racial discrim-
lnaticn in hotels and restaurants, the
long-overdue requirement of motor We
hicle inspections and the development
OF new long-range program to finance
State highway construction in the future.

Because he was all these
things - a tough, tall live
oak in a Senate forest where
some of the trees are not
very big - he simply would
not let the frantic leftwing-
ers have their way, just as
his old friend, Vice President
Lyndon Johnson, would not
let them have their way in
his own time there. And they
could never forgive his bril-
lance this man who
scorned the pompous slogans
of the ultra liberals and the
pseudo "intellectualism" Of
which tirelessly they prate.
A Sea Of Dangers
And it is because Of his
loss this loss of a rnoder-
ate leader of such skill and
effectiveness that the DEM
ocratic Senate now sets out
upon a sea of dangers. With
out Senator Kerr, Senator
Mansfield will have q sticky
time fighting off the de
mands" of the ultra-liberals,
whose incapacity to legislate
effectively is only matched by
their high capacity to make
mischief for those who can.
If Senator Mansfield fails,
sensible moderation itself will
be the victim, and a single
result may be confidently
predicted: A revival of the
old Republican Southern
Democratic coalition against
not simply liberal but also
moderate legislation. The
Senate is a very human place
where high human qualities
are highly valued. Senator
Kerr had such qualities, and
through them he sometimes
held the Southerners In line
for moderation where they
would have preferred ultra
conservatism.
1t has not been easy in the
first place at times for the
Southerners to follow this
sort Of leadership, In behalf
Of the ideal of party unity,
when their own political ne
cessities at home have
pointed in the opposite d.
rection. That they have done
so as often as they have done
was a tribute to the per-
Suasiveness of Bob"
Thus, if they begin to feel
that Senator Mansfield is sur
rendering unduly to the left
there will be nothing left to
keep them out of fairly fire.

an instrument for protection

come to look upon work as
the link between himself and
