THE POLITICAL MILL
President Johnson in Command
BY GOULD LINCOLN

President Lyndon B. john
son has taken up the office
Of President Of the United
States worthily and with
every indication he viii be
q strong leader Of the Nation
and Of his party. He has still
TO make his record as Chief
Executive. This correspon-
dent has faith he viii do so
ably.
President Johnson's call
on Congress, delivered at q
Joint session Of the House
and Senate on Wednesday,
to aet-and act now-was
not only timely but force
fully and elequently deliver
ed. Particularly did he urge
the legislators to give priority
to two measures which the
late President John +. Ken
nedy placed at the top Of his
legislative program-the civil
rights bill and the tax bill.
With the fact Of bitter divi-
sion over these measures, it
was apparent that, with the
Thar ksgiving Day and
Christmas holidays coming
up, it would not be practical
to expect the passage Of
either until the second ses-
sion Of the present Seth Con-
gress in January. But both
Of these measures may be-
come law considerably earlier
than has been expected.
This correspondent is told
today by a key man on CAPT :
toll Hill that the tax bill will
be passed in January, and
that If the present program
prevails, the civil rights bill
will follow on the heels Of the
tax measure. How soon the
civil rights measure will be-
come law depends In large
measure on the content of
the bill and on how long a
Senate filibuster, If it devel-
ops, win hold it up. But
that 1t will become law is to
be expected. No prediction is
made on the final form of
these measures.
Could DispeI Doubt
II President johnson is
successful in getting these
important measures through
Congress early In the coming
year and in satisfactory
form-to the majority of the
people-his record" and his
leadership will have taken
a big leap forward. And If
at the same time he is able
to demonstrate that his ad-
ministration has q regard
for economy in Government
expenditure and ability in
the handling Of our foreign
policy, doubts that any one
may have about President
Johnson's nomination for the
presidency next summer will
have vanished.
As Of today, the odds are
heavily in favor Of q 1864
Democratic national ticket
headed by President johnson
Senators from the West, the
South and the East agree on
this. How successful Mr.
Johnson viii be at the polls
next November, II he has the
presidential nomination OF
his party, viii, they say, de-
pend upon the record he

ing the Deep South in the hope that this help might
be civilizing influence
Now the issue has been out in much sharper and
much more challenging terms-not by the Civil
Rights forces but by the Dixiecrats themselves The
men from the Rotten Boroughs of the South who
hold great powers in Congress because never having
to face election contest they have built up great
seniority in the committee system, are boasting
about their plans to sabotage and paralyze con-
gressional action in order to stall civil rights legsla-
ton.
This is threat which the Administration can
scarcely afford to ignore back down on Not only
is it irresponsible and damaging to the entire coun-
try and its position in world affairs It is also piece
Of mischief that could be productive Of great and
growing disorders in areas where the petitions of
people for recognition Of their constitutional rights
even now being answered with killers guns
bombs wild dogs clubs and firehoses.
Obviously the only way to answer the threats
of the Dixie delegation in Congress is in the kind Of
language they understand And their deepest under
standing goes to the language of the pork barrel
policy of progressively tightening the purse
strings us. funds to Dixie would squeeze cries
of outrage from the Dixie legislators 1t would also
squeeze a degree of reasonableness out of them on
legislative matters that nothing else could bring

reason others couldn't get away
with the same type Of brutal treat
ment of citizens black or white.
Certainly it makes a mockery
of the disciplinary suspension
meted out by police department
heads.
OF course some persons may say
you can't stop anyone from COL
lecting money for any worthy
cause, but we fail to see the end
worth of this venture-especially
since it tends to undermine any
remnants of justifiable faith some
citizens may have in the depart
ment.
1t wildly points up the need for
a more effective human relations
program when this type of esprit
de corps" is allowed to exist.
The suspended policeman can
only feel what he did was right in
spite Of his own testimony and
later suspension when all his
mates chip in the kitty, with
their dollars thereby showing their
faith in his judgement - some
thing Chief of Police Pat Walling
found was faulty when he suspend
ed him for conduct unbecoming
an officer" - o. H. NJ, Minne-

HundIins Of Charges
In Wells CusC

In Wells Case
Editor: According to the press
reports there were three or four
policemen involved in the wanton
clubbing Of a Negro whose crime
was objecting to being pushed
around. Two or three held the VIC
tim while one clubbed him.
Three of the policemen go scot
free. The fourth gets a slap on
the wrist in the form of a 3O-day
suspension. The victim is found
guilty" by judge who hasn't
the courage to go through with his
"logic" and suspends sentence in
a way that casts an uncalled-for
and baseless aspersion upon a re-
spected citizen whose offense was
to stand up for his rights.
Then to cap the climax, the
Police Chief publicly recognizes
the unfitness of the officer whom
he is nevertheless going to keep
on the force by announcing that
after the slap on the wrist he will
be transferred to other duty. The
inference is that he will be kept
busy in areas where the opportun-
tiles to express his personality by
means of the billy-club and the
blackjack will be somewhat more
limited. 1t is not reassuring to see
policemen retained on the force
who may have a continuing urge
to express their characters in this
way. - George Jones, Minneapolis,

Reader Offers His
Congratulations On
H-A-s "a

Editor: Permit me to congrat-
ulate you on your clear and lucid
account of the civil rights situation
in Minnesota, in your interview on
WTCN TV on June 9. Your position
was fair and honest and was not
designed to rabble rouse or distort
what the Negro faces in a state
with a liberal tradition like ours.
Some of the editorial positions
your paper took 20 years ago are
now a part of the daily editorial
diet being dished up by the daily
press both local and national. Be
that as it may it is refreshing to
see our media both daily press and
radio and TV editorially support
ing the rights of the Negro for
equality. While I am at it I want
to congratulate you on the June
16 edition it was tops. More
power to a good newspaper in its
long fight for truth, equality and
justice. - Merrill Foster, st. Paul,

cape from Negroes and also from

In spite of all that has happened
in Birmingham, Chicago would be
embarrassed by a statistical COM
parison Of the employment oppor-
tunities for Negroes in the two
cities. Why doesn't the great Trib-
une try to find out which city has
the greatest percentage of its Ne
gro population on relief? Negroes
may have a few more symbolic
jobs in Chicago, won by their vot-
ing muscle, but the masses of Ne
groes have done no better, through
favor of their white neighbors or
employers, in Chicago than in
Birmingham.
am sure hospitals in Birming-
ham are segregated. But what
about hospitals in Chicago? Not
until very recently was a slight
break made in getting Negroes or
Negro doctors into private hospi-
tails in Chicago. The Cook County
hospital looks almost like a Jim
Crow Negro hospital.
True, Negroes can go to any
school they wish in Chicago, they
can go to some parks without a
fight), they can go to the theaters
and some restaurants, but as DR..
Robert Weaver says, they are
fenced in" on the Southside and
the Westside. When they try to
get out of the ghettoes, they are
met by mobs of 5000 or more. Po-
lice protection? Sure, yes, but what
has police protection to do with
mems hearts?
What DR.. King was saying was
that the hearts Of most whites In
Chicago are just as bad as the
hearts Of most whites in Birming-
ham. That statement was not ar
rogant nor untruthf1il. And as q
citizen Of the whole United States,
he has the right to say 1t any
where, despite a Newspaper which
has sought to set up a kingdom Of
opinion inside a democracy.-P. L

tive and sure editors of the kings
decree" in the Middle West went
to unnecessary lengths to attack
the Rev. Martin Luther King. 1t
seems as though DR.. King had
said some things The Tribune didn't
like or regarded as untrue.
What DR.. King said, in essence,
was that Chicago has just as rigid
segregationist attitude as Birm-
ingham. For making this state
ment, the editors of the newspaper
which tries to run the Midwest,
and wanted to run the Second
World War, denounced DR.. King
as arrogant, untruthful and as an
outside agitator.
One might as well take up the
last charge first. No American,
white or black, is an outside agi-
tator, anywhere on American soil.
There are no citizens of states
all are citizens of the United
States, the entire United States.
Was what DR.. King said un-
true? 1t was not despite the effort
of The Tribune's editors to show
how fair and square" Chicago is.
Chicago has not given Negroes one
whit more than Negroes have been
able to take. Any rights enjoyed
by Negroes in Chicago have come
about because Of their political
power and not because Of the 'love
and affection" Of other Chicagoans
(mostly immigrants) or the "love
and affection" Of the Chicago Trib-
une.
In its long history, the Chicago
Tribune has never campaigned for
Negro rights. It has fought men
like the late William Hale Thomp-
son who sought to open doors for
Negroes.
In the crucial areas Of housing
and employment, Chicago Is just
as bad as Birmingham. In housing,
Chicago may be worse. Even in
Birmingham, some Negroes and
whites live as next door neighbors.
1t Is not in Birmingham, but In
Chicago and other northern metro
pontan centers that whites flee to

St. Paul recorder., 1963-06-20

Everett LuOmA groes and the in
crease Of Negroes in Chicago from
1867 in 1850 to $3.50 now. The
same is true in other cities. The
number of schools in New York
City, for instance, with over 9O%
Negro and Puerto Rican popula-
ton is increasingly rapidly.
The economics of this situation
can best be understood by under
standing the economics of our af-
fluent society. The American econ
omic system is based on the prin-
ciple of profit and not on the prin-
ciple of service to society. Those
who own and control property at
tempt to utilize for their own bene-
fit the propertyless masses.
Many workers have succeeded
in organizing and therefore share
in the wealth of American society.
The propertied interests and the
organized workers are the ones
that are considered in any discus
sion of American wealth.
Many workers within the United
States have not won the right to
organize and therefore are en-
ployed for only pittance. These
workers along with the mass of
unemployed are the forgotten
people of American society. They
do not have access to the Amer
lean medium of exchange-the al
mighty dollar-and therefore the
factories do not produce goods for
their benefit.
Interestingly enough these peo-
pie are available for employment
to make the factories work at full
capacity but the people who own
the factories have no incentive to
provide them with employment. We
therefore live with the contradic-
ton of factories working at only
some 70% of capacity in the midst
of mass poverty.
These two classes of society
the affluent and the chronically
unemployed - are being more and
more separated within our society.
The affluent are buying homes in
the suburbs and the unemployed
and unorganized are left to live
in the ghettos within the cities.
The fact that Negroes are unem-
ployed and unorganized more so
than the whites makes the Negro
percentage in the cities increase.
This process has been going on so
fast in the last decade that Amer
lean society now is more segregat-
ed than it was ten years ago. This
is at a time when we are supposed
to be working with all deliberate
speed in the other direction.
The unemployed and morgan
lied year by year receive a small
ler percentage of the total Amer
lean income. This Is illustrated by
the fact that the Negroes income
as a percentage Of the whites has
declined in the last ten years. If
one were to investigate this distri-
button further, 1 am sure one
would find that the income of the
social class of which most Ne
groes are members has declined
as percentage of the income Of
the higher classes.
Because the Negro is now more
politically conscious than the poor
white, the Negro gets the publicity.
The Indians and Medcans are in
even greater poverty than the Ne
groes but they have not achieved
the political consciousness to as
sert their rights.

The Dixie Threat To

When the suggestion was first broached that

ers with gentle rdicule. Even civil rights advo-
