Calling People "UneIe
Tom" Is Form Of

Bigofry, Publication Soys
Editor: An editorial titled,
d" witch Hunting in Race Rela-
tons" appears in the September,
1858, issue Of the publication, "In-
terracial Review, published by the
Catholic InterraIctal Council Of New
York which needs saying over and
over again. I, therefore, quote this
editorial for the enlightenment of
your readers:
Publicly 10 attack persons who
have been in the forefront in the
Civil Rights struggle as Uncle
Toms simply because they do not
endorse or support certain meth
DDS and technaques Of protest is a
form Of witch+hunting and bigotry
which we must protest. One does
not necessarily become a watered-
down moderate or an Uncle Tom
simply because he or she may not
wish to carry picket sign or
march or sit in the doorway lead
ing to the local Mayors office.
These methods may dramatize col
orfully an issue in revolution, but
they seldom make its benefits per-
manent. Many of our pioneers in
race relations still accept some of
the techniques now being used in
racial protests only reluctantly,
but those same persons have sacri-
ficed and have been prosecuted for
their civil right activities long be-
fore such endeavors were popular
and long before the present re-
spectabiity tag was placed on
such activities. And more recent
pioneer, James Meredith, certainly
does not have to answer to any
man for his courage and contribu-
tton TO civil rights.
ITO demand that everyone en-
ploy the same method Of arriving
at interracial Justice Is immature,
bigoted, and extremist in the ex-
treme." - Very sincerely yours,

rector.

DRY POINTS
By FRED GRAM

All-white citizens committees
are wording hard 10 repair Birm-
ingham's shattered civic person
ality. Their objective Is 10 get
back, as soon as possible, to their
abnormalcy.
The John Birch society founder
claims that the civil rights battle
Is nothing but a conspiracy whip
ped up by the Reds. There he goes
again, always trying 10 build up
the Communists by putting them
on the side Of virtue.
Senator Goldwater says the
thought that he might some day
be President 'iscares the he'll out
Of me"-an emotion shared by vast
numbers Of fellow Americans.
Would you want your daughter
to marry a dynamiter?
This Is the season when the oil
people begin 10 promote gasoline
additives, and the rest of the
people hope they work as effective

Sees Necessity Of Knowing
Approximate Number
Of Children In School

Editor: AS a parent Of a young
ster who will be a kindergarten
next year, and as an interested
citizen who has served on various
committees in such organizations
as the Urban League Guild, NAA-
CP, Interfaith Fair Housing, and
Eighth Ward DFL club, I am very
much interested in the idea Of talk
ing a race census" in our Mime
apolis Public Schools.
A recent editorial in the Mime
apolis Star" on the taking Of a
school race census" prompted me
to write this letter. The editorial
stated. "a legal barrier may stand
in the way of the Minneapolis
Board of Education as it moves
toward a rough count of Negro
and Indian children in our schools.
Perhaps if state law stands in the
way of a school board head count,
the approximations could be made
by some other agency the job
needs to be done it is too i'm
portant to be neglected"
This is a very sensible attitude
towards a ruling based on an out
dated state law. More accurate
information on the distribution of
Negro children in the public schools
is very essential to the school
board in order that they may deal
more effectively with the problems
of de facto segregation. One of the
results Of the effective use Of a
race census might be a school ad-
miistration ruling which would
have a more flexible policy to-
wards open enrolment" in some
school communities as a method
of minimizing de facto segregation
especially in the elementary
schools.
The education of young Negro
children Is very basic in their total
development as citizens. It is just
as important as mammoth at
tempts in urban areas TO try and
improve the lot Of the Negro by
tailoring individual opportIlnit-
les" in the form Of houses, jobs,
restaurant seats, and so on. The
improvement of educational oppor-
trlnities for elementary age school
children can help 10 provide the
Negro communities with a long
range leap forward toward the
goals of fuller citizenship in this

ingham bombers murdered was caused by the Negro
community itself.
When Lawrence wrote that the attack might
have been perpetrated by "a small but dangerous
clique" pursuing the objectives (ntegration) sought
by Communist subversives and suggested that the
tragedy belonged on the shoulders of Bdrmingham's
Negroes who invited 1t by their demonstration"
and provocative speeches" Newbold Noyes editor
of the conservative WASHINGTON EVENING
STAR couldn't take 1t.
In the same edition Mr.. Noyes wrote: II strong
ly disagree with this column. David Lawrence today
advances the thesis that the death of four children
attending Sunday School in Birmingham is a some
what logical result Of the active efforts Of Negroes
to secure their civil rights as Americans We print
the column part Of continuing effort to present
a variety of views controversial issues But
speaking for ourselves we reject Mr.. Lawrence's
views on the subject taSteless and absurd.
The editorial continued: 1T hardly behooves
member Of the white majority in this country to
make the death Of innocent victims of bgotry an
occasion for the lecture to the Negro for additional
restraint. This is a time for shame not self right
eousness"
Since the Westbrook Pegler syndicated column
was dropped by the Hearst papers David Lawrence
and perhaps William s. White are the only Amer
lean defenders of US. racial apartheid who have
wide syndication in the leading American daily

Even those newspapers and readers who agree
with the so-caned conservatism of David Lawrence
were startled when he labeled the internationally
acclaimed and praised March on Washington" as a
day of public disgrace" Lawrence is also editor of
the us. News and World Report which keeps a
steady barrage in effort to keep the Negro in
his place"
Our STAR and TRIBUNE editorial pages buy
the Lawrence column but did not run the nauseat-
ing column on the Birmingham bombing. The TRIB-
UNE has apparently dropped the William s. White
column which was a reactionary column without the
clever writing Of Lawrence We hope Whites poison

ISSUES: GOOD
AND BAD
BY p. L. PRATTIS

Almost anything the President.
or any other person in high politi-
cal office may say, no matter
how worthy, can be attributed to
a political motive, base or other
wise. On the surface, that Is be-
cause anything political lIninaries
say has a tendency to draw people
to them or to repel them.
Hence, when President Kennedy
In a recent press conference paid
tribute to the growing number of
white Southerners who want 10
obey the law, he was unquestion-
ably being politically smart, but !
doubt very much THAT he even
wanted to be politically smart. I
do think he wanted to be smart in
the sense of doing something to
narrow the cleavage between white
Americans and black Americans in
the Southland.
This is smart, important and
necessary. AS have written time
after time, the so-called revolu-
ton cannot be won without the
support of white Americans. Our
JOB is not to set black against
white, or even white against white,
but to unite black and white on the
side of what is right. There are
many signs that this can be done
and that it must be done, but the
necessity creates a job that must
be worked at day and night-posi-
lively.
There is no question in my mind
about Wallace Of Alabama and
Barnett (Johnson) Of Mississippi
eventually being isolated. They and
their kind will ultimately be re-
placed. The Negro vote will help to
replace them, not with a Negro
necessarily, but with a man who
Is on the side Of what Is right.
Thus in the peaceful revolution
now being waged, the one great
challenge Is TO find ways to make
friends without surrenderang prin-
ciple.
This Is the kind of effort which
requires more brains, than bravery
Ut is the kind Of effort which can
be exercised by individuals as well
as masses, every day as well as at
stated times. It requires more
thought than bluSter, more homes
ty than stubbornness.
For example, to take one little
thing: I have been observing the
pennants inscribed I'VE Shall
Overcome" being carried on the
aerfals Of automobiles. I like the
idea. The pennants are usually
yellow and the slogan is in black
letters. Now how much smarter 1t
would have been, or would be, to
have background of red and blue
and the slogan in bright letters of
white?
How much more suggestive 1t
would be to have a red, white and
blue pennant with the same slogan
than yellow and black pennant L?
I venture to say that there are
thousands of whites who would
pick up a red, white and blue pen
nant which includes all Americans
rather than a yellow and black
pennant which seems 10 be exclu-
sively for Negroes.
I can never forget the sage ad-
vice of Elder Statesman Congress
man William L. Dawson: I'VE Ne
groes have got to stop getting mad
and get smart"
President Kennedy's gesture Of
friendship toward loyal white
Southerners who want to obey the
law was the kind Of gesture we
should try to emulate.

all nuts, gravy, soft drinks
and, Of course, potatoes, are
not allowed. Alcoholic bev-
erages are also taboo.
But most everything else
goes. The protein can be
eaten as any meat. an egg a
day, perhaps a bit Of cheese,
and skim milk. All vegetables
and fruits are fine. and even
half a slice of bread.

ty leading to overweight
another Is q high insulin
level. Many obese persons be-

betics, DR.. Gordon said.
"Overeating makes any
normal person have too
much insulin in his blood"
he said. He added that this
hormone tends to stimulate
those engine systems the
most that control the enzy-
matte synthesis Of fat"
Yet another serious NAL
function in many overweight
people Is subnormal loss of
water through the kidneys.
DR.. Gordon said q large
portion Of the water one
generally loses in q day is a
by-product of the burning of
food. And, II this water is
retained, significant loss of
pounds is simply impossible.
Hence the use Of q drug, a
diuretic, to stimulate normal
loss.
Oddly, severe caloric re-
Striction - those starvation
diets-acts as an antidiuretic
in some persons, causing the
body to hold water.
Because Of its high protein
content, the new diet is
especially suitable for preg-
nant women and for chill
dren, said DR.. Gordon. Also,
the low carbohydrate level
makes it ideal for diabetes.

Mrs. Murray was in a
dilemma over possible salvag-

Mrs. Murray took her
problem to Abercrombie

Silicone coating onto silver,
brass or copper for modern

thus processed do not require
constant polishing.

men Is q 4S-hour fast during
which no food, excepting
non-calorie items, Is eaten.
The thinking behind this is
not to start off with a big
loss, the researcher said, but
rather to interrupt the pa.
tient's normal metabolic
pattern, preparing 1t for the
the special diet.
By means of the elegant
biochemical pathways In the
body, much of the foods
taken in are broken down
into the same substances.
From this common pool, the
body can then build essential
chemicals in proportions
governed by the body's needs
and demands.
All Of the reactions In
volved are controlled by
engines. large protein mole
cules that enable them to
\ proceed quickly and smooth
ly. When all Of the hundreds
OF engines necessary are
present in the right amounts,
food is used with high eff
cheney and the body does not
stockpile fat, DR.. Gordon
said.
But, he said, these engine
systems sometimes get out Of
balance. Often 1t appears
that the engines that con-
vert the pool chemicals into
fat greatly outnumber the
rest.
When this system grows
large 1t tends to grab I'D
carbohydrates and other
materials that would normal
ly be used for conversion to
protein, for example.
Pathway Enlarges
1t all indicates that in
some persons, fat is formed
no matter how little they eat,
DR.. Gordon said. He empha-
sized that this is only a likely
Interpretation, and that
perhaps a better one exists.
This engine pathway
seems to become greedy
simply through overuse. "If
you give an engine system
too much work to do 1t gets
big" he said.
Furthermore, the expanded
system tends to remain
overgrown unless something
unusual happens to shrink it.
Such Is the purpose Of the
48-hour fast: starving the
system reduces it to normal
size, he said.
