MATHEWS OLD IDEAS
In the Sunday edition, August 9TH of the
Arizona Daily Star, published in Tucson.
PubHSheY-Edit0Y William r. Mathews
stated his views on the recent Negro cam
baign for civiI rights.
He states that the Arizona Daily Star IS
milling to employ Negroes If they are quail
flied and apply. This is a cOnannendable at
tit1de and statement Of policy u)aich should
brevail in all businesses and industries.
Mn. Matthews continues that he believes all
ciUil rights belong to all persons regardless
of race, color or religion. He reports snte-
grafton has come easily in Tucson WaeTe the
Negro population is less than tSve per cent
Halfway through his editorial My. Matthews
voices the bYe-Civil War ideas of the Negro
race. He Shows that he is closing his eyes to
1868 and is indeed existing in 1868. The fol-
loainag is quoted from the editoTiGE
'As the campaign for Negro employment
goes O,a all parties 1Oh0 are interested might
we'll bear i'm mind that Negroes do haze cer-
tain natural abtitudes. They are born must
clans, v0cal and instrumental. They excel as
household SERVANTS. They are born cooks and
matters. Their girls are born nurses. Look
at hOw they excel in sports.
Surely Mr.. William r. Mathews has neUeT
realized that Negroes are no more born COOKS
and matters than other races Of people. He
certainly must R1a0aO the small percentage OF
Negro chefs at leading hotels and restaurants
throughout the country.
His statement about Negroes being born
musicians is also fay-fetched. Negroes haze
no monopoly as great singers and instrument
taHsts. Eveyy Negro is not singer, dancer
or musician of any type. This IS fallacy
Which hurts the image Of the Negro.
Negroes aren't born athletes. Many excel
because certain sports haze been open to
them especially track, baseball, football,
boxing and basketball
He continues Negroes make good BARRIERS
and reports one Of the Oldest and largest
baYbeYshObs IN Washington, D. c.. IS Osuaed
by Negroes. This is hardly the modern Ne
gvoes' ideal of a great business ventuye.
All in all the editorial IS weighed with
the old scheme Of showing the Negro how
sOeH off he is and telling him about the w0'a-
dey1ul service jobs that are tYaditionsalE
his. No waeYe does Mr.. Mathews mention
outstanding Negro physicians, scientists,
educators, artists, sOyiteys, or architects.
The publisher and editor Of the Arizona
Daily Star should learn that Negroes quality
for many jobs other than cooks, maids, bar
beys and nurses. He doesn't haze to tyavel

Negro CanaVerdI
Area Citizens Face
FIoqronf Bios

New York (ANP) - President
Kennedy has been urged to enc
"the continuing flagrant discrim,
ination suffered by Negro citizens
in the Cape Canaveral-Cocoa area
in Florida"
In a letter to the President
dated March 1s, Roy Wilkins
NAACP executive secretary said
that the 1000 Negroes employed
in the nations vital space effort
in that area are denied opportunity
for job promotions and refused
access to decent housing while "as
many as 300 FEIA-financed homes
stand vacant and unused in the
Cocoa metropolitan area"
An affidavit charging housing
discrimination, he told the Presi-
dent, had been filed by the NAACP
with the new Committee on Equal
Opportunity in Housing, on March
Is. On the same day, complaints
charging job discrimination were
filed with the Presidents Commit
tee on Equal Employment Oppor-
tunity.
The NAACP leader reminded
President Kennedy that Federal
space and military installations
predominate in the Cocoa area. "
The entire local economy, includ-
ing tourist accommodations, bank
ing facilities, schools and public
facilities, is dependent directly or
indirectly upon the presence and
financial support Of the Federal
government.
Federal grants and loans for ur-
ban renewal and low rent housing
to meet anticipated expansions las
for the forthcoming Lunar and
Nova projects) are imminent. The
governments role as the principal
employer in the area Is apparent"
Information based on the find
ings Of Jack e. Wood, NAACP
special assistant for housing, was
submitted to Governor David
Lawrence, chairman of the Presi-
dents Committee on Equal OPP
portunity in Housing. AS a result
Of discrimination, the NAACP
charged, Negro citizens in Cocoa
are forced to endure substandard
living and restricted housing op-
portunities despite the deep
involvement of the Federal govern
ment in the residential growth and
development Of this community
and despite the issuance by Presi-
dent Kennedy of an executive order
on housing"
Discrimination in employment
is charged to the Pan American
Anyways Corporation at Cape
Canaveral in affidavits submitted
by Herbert Hill, NAACP labor
secretary, to Hobart Taylor, ex-
ecutive vice chairman Of the Pres
ident's Committee on Equal Job
Opportunity.
The Corporation; a major gov
eminent contractor in the area, Is
accused by two Negro employees OF
denying them opportunity for up
grading solely because Of their
race. A third complainant charged
discrimination in the corporations
hiring practices.

SAYS LOWERING OF
RACE BARS WILL FOIL
BLACK MUSLIM DETECTIVES

Chicago (ANP) - A Chicago
Urban League official said last
week that the Black Muslims have
failed disastrously to capture the
support of the imagination of the
nations Negroes.
"Only a handful Of misguided
frustrated, and embittered Negroes
have grasped at the straw which
this hate group offers" author
Warren Lehman, the interracial
agencys housing specialist, said.
And these people have turned to
the Muslims primarily because
this nation has failed to integrate
Negroes into the fabric Of democ-
racy."
In a speech entitled open Oc
cupancy and Black Muslimism" at
the First Congregational Church
of Downers Grove, Lehman assert
ed:
THE Black Muslims, like the
American Nazi Party, the John
Birch Society, and the White Citi-
zen Councils, will make the head
lines. But they will not capture the
hearts of the nations 10000, 900
Negroes II we can proceed in an
orderly and accelerated way in
real the democratic prom
Use of our country. The Commun-
ist Party failed in the thirties and
forties and the Muslims will fail in
the sixties if we extend democracy
to all in this decade"

TEE TO GREEN''

Well hi again dubs and pros.
Your old dub correspondent has
Just torn himself away from the
Sunday TV, after digging away
from that heavy boy from Ohio,
(Niclxlaus) who cody took the
Masters at Augusta, Ga, quite a
feat for a % year old.
Old Hoss Snead, gave it a good
race, but If it isn't for you, it isn't.
My phone rang at least three
times during the last four holes.
1t was old golf master Ray Wright
and we discussed each shot in the
Masters. Too bad Ray doesn't play
golf any more. I understand he
was a legend around Twin City
golf courses.
Say, T.C.G.A. had a meeting last
night and do mean meeting. For
a while it sounded like the floor
of the us. Senate under full de-
bate with the different fellows ex-
pressing viewpoints on different
issues.
These viewpoints all pertained
to golf and club business, how
ever I think its a good, healthy
sign Of progress when a group Of
fellows do this.
OF course our parhamentarian
Reese had the last word. Reports
of the cocktail party were all sue
cessful and the auxiliary and our
club enjoyed a profit from the
affair. We took in a new member
and made him welcome. He Is
former Globe Trotter Don Potcay
who I am sure is going to be an
asset.
Incidently we are open for new
members at any time so keep this
in mind. We are offering a very
active golf program this year.
There will be such things as the
"a man team to compete against
other public course teams in the
cities and also other inter-club
teams which will compete against
similar teams for a great prize at
the end of the season.
T.C.G.A. Is buying golf jackets
for the members and a out-of-
town trip is planned for the golf
ers.
All in all it's quite a program
this year and well worthwhile to
any person interested in the great
game.
Old brother Thad Nichols has
quite a hand in fashioning this
program and I'm sure his earnest
and diligent work won't be for
gotten. Team captains were picked
for the coming season. They were,
Ted Cook, Norman Minis, sgd
Cummings, Charles McKinnis, Ed
ward Manderville and Jimmy Bow
man.
We will start our schedule in
May and will keep you informed
as to the interesting outcome.
there is quite a bit Of healthy riv-
airy in our club and I am sure
this column will have some news
Of interest. My "shag boy tells
me that "old long hook Carter"
and pitch in Jack Nulls" from st.
Paul are coming to the club. Well
certainly be glad to welcome them.
I only hope more golfers as
would be golfers, from st. Paul
would come into T.C.G.A. Ours Is
q twin cities organization and
you're most welcome.
Well, gotta go down the fairway
and replace that last divot I dug
up. Really-Never Up, Never In.
