Large Handwriting
On A Large Wall

When people petition their government for the
redress of grievances, this exercise has been
panied more often than not by violence This is the
experience Of history, and it is the experience of
people in most parts of the world today. 1t Is the
experience today, in our own southland
And more often than not If not almost always
the violence Is initiated by the government In Po-
land and Hungary; in Mississippi and Alabama. In
China Our southern demagogs are fond of shout
ing Communism at the drop of the Civil Rights hat
But these same demagogs have much more in COM
mon with the communist governments than any
other force in the officially free world.
The Civil Rights demonstration in Washington
not the first exercise there of the right of petit
ton but it by far the largest and most signifc-
ant and by far the most likely 10 win far-reaching
results. Moreover, it is the first notable In
Washington to be entirely free of violence.
In 1897 Coxey's Army, converging on Washing
ton to petition for measures to relieve unemploy-
ment was broken up by the arrest of leaders for
walking the White House lawn" In 1882, the
Bonus Marchers, seeking immediate payment Of
World War I bonus certificates as a depression
measure were driven out by military action ord
cred by President Hoover, with General Mac Arthur
directing the gassing of the petitioners and the
burning of their encampment-a disgraceful brutal
operation.
How different the atmosphere in Washington
today. We can be proud of the discipline and re-
straint of the demonstrators. And we can be proud
Of the spirit shown by our government. We be
especially proud Of the send-off given the marchers
by our own Minnesota State government on August
IT, with high public officials joining in wishing them
we'll, and in pointing out the significance of this
demonstration petition for the redress Of griev
ances.
We are sure that the tyrants and demagoges Of
Dixie do not like this. We equally that the
lesson cannot be entirely lost upon them The events
in St Paul, and the events in Washington, put
very large handwriting upon a very large wall
Dixie demagogs and tyrants may not be able to read
too well, but you be certain that the message
not entirely lost upon them.

relationships between Negro men and white women,
but usually and almost always by association be-

These facts may be unpalatable to many people,

TV Withers
The Dixiecrats

Televdsion is merciless instrument. It exposes
the worst phomes in public life to critical exam
ination by the public 1t destroys the most carefully
wrought images" OF counterfeit statesmen heroes
and heavy thinkers. BY the process, it frus-
trates the most Industrious efforts to misrepresent
and destroy genuine leaders and statesmen
Senator Richard Russell, Democrat Of Georgia,
upon whom pro6gious press and radio buld-up
has been lavished 10 set him up wise, moderate
statesman isn't quite the moderate the statesman
the intellectual that he built UP Ito be, since
his recent TV appearance. He's a Dixie politician,
full of prejudice and hate. He proved 30 be not
enough of thinker even to voice his prejudces in
fresh or original way, but was obliged to fail back
the tired platitrdes and stereotypes which have
become Dsdes case in the court Of public opinion
for its crimes against large section Of its people,
Television didn't leave much Of man, by the time
it was through with Senator Russell.
On the other hand, consider the Rev. DR. Mar
tin Luther King. He has been televfsion several
times recently To put 1t most chantably, the Dixie
politicians cannot stand this kind of competition. 1t
wfthers them makes them look even smaller and
meaner. section Of the press has been at pains to
create a reverse image of DR.. King and many of his
coworl1ens in the cause of equality and civil rights
as a man of violence and responsibility David
Lawrence the widely syndicated columnist and seq
regationt apologist described the Washington civil
rights demonstration thus: The march Will go down
in history as marking day Of public disgrace" He
described the city beset by terror and called for
a march on Washington by rape victims"
At about this point, gentle breeze Of reason,
tolerance and humanity up and blew all this
corrosive hate and hysteria away. Mr.. Lawrence
should listen to DR.. King:
Il have dream that one day even the state of
Mississippi, state swelteng with the peoples IN
justice, swelteng with the heat Of oppression will
be transformed into oasis of freedom and justice
Il have dream that my four little children will
one day live in a nation where they will not be
judged by the color of their skin but by the content
Of their character.
Il have a dream that one day every valley shall
be exalted every hill and mountain shall be made
low, the rough places will be made plain and the
crooked places will be made straight, and the glory
Of the lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it

Two Young Americans
Exercise Their Basic
Right To Marry

The marriage of Charlayne Hunter, one OF the
first two Negro graduates of the University of
Georgia to Walter Stovall, 25 a senior journalism
student at the same school Is attracting great at
tention in the nation and especially in Georgia and
the South.
The principal reason for the great public inter-
est Is because Miss Hunter, the Mrs Stovall is
a Negro and her husband is Caucasian.
OF course the marriage caused a storm in the
South not only among whites opposed to school in
tegration but also among many Negroes North and
South who thought the marriage would be used as
natural propaganda tool against whites and Ne
groes attending the same schools.
We can understand, but not agree with either
viewpoints The racists of the South have COM
planned for years that school ntegration will bring
intermarriage We do not deny that this Is true but
we know from experience that the number Of such
marriages will be small Negroes and whites have
been attending school together for years in the
North and the number Of intermarrages are infin-
ftesima although It Is admittedly growing slowly at
the college level.
The feeling Of Negroes and liberal whites that
the Hunter-Stovan marriage will be used against in
tegradon Is true but the threat Of ntermarriage
has always been propaganda device by the white
supremacists In this case however the tune will
have to be changed from the need for protection of
young white womanhood" to that of protection Of
young white manhood" The appeal will lose some
Of its power because the women are supposed to be
the most defensless against Negro males but stoval
apparently Is no weak character and we imagine
that this Is one marriage in which the man took the
initiative
Most certainly Mr. stovals statement as re-
ported by the Associated Press, whose reporters
worked overtime trying 10 learn whether the couple
were in fact married or not, a dgnified reply:
He stated I'VE have not wanted to embarrass,
humiliate disturb our families or anyone else We
