TOO MANY HATS

For the past few years one man has become
the seD-abbOinted great white father for all
minority groups in the Valley. Robert Cho0te
has assumed the monumental task of dire citing
all types of programs which pertain to persons
of the Negro race.
He has managed to get q footh0ld in many
agencies and has been appointed usually by
himself to head community activities. AS the
bYgvious year passes into history, nv. ChO0te
has bombovded the Valley Of the Sun with his
claims of the gigantic Voyk Of his remedies
for dYobouts and career interests. Little has
been proven by any Of his efforts as far as
knoup or evidenced IN the Negro neighbour
hoods.
Choate has ignored existing Negro conferred
groups and Negro leaders in our community.
Instead, he has set himself ON pinnacle and
has rushed about promoting mostly NM: Choote
AS the antiboveYty program is in its infancy,
Cho0te rushed ahead and organized steering
committee to implement some ontiboUeTy
program in the city without the Obvious utili-
zotion of the aid of Negro citizens.
The re cent Urban League Equal ObboYt1Ga-
ity Day turned into a tiasco. Choate used
seemingly as a stepping stone for another
one of his self Qualification programs.
It is still true that man WbO wears too
naaey hats, usually has no time to Oeor any
too weu Apparently, Robert Choate fails into
the category characterized by Negro leader
uho said, HE uses race relations as some
kind of hobby"
Choate and others, WhetheY they are C0u-
cosion or Negro, should realize that Negroes
are not a GROUP of illiteyutes waiting IKE
bunch of cattle to be led from place to place.

POLL TAX ENDS
VOL. 6, NO. 80
This Newspaper 10 member Of
NEWSPAPERS ASSOCIATION
~ For Greater Public Service

This week the required number Of states
ratified the amendment which ended the bOH
tax leUied in several southern states. The
poll tax had been one Of the means to discOuY-
age Negroes from becoming eligible to OOte.
Although the payment required aUas not exor-
bitant, it kept many from even trying to reg
lister.
A far greater curb on votinzg of Negroes in
the South is the Hteyacy test program. There
seems to be concrete evidence that different
and more rigid tests are applied to Negroes
seeking to register than to whites.
AbOhshi'lg Of the boll tax mill hardly in
crease the numbers of qualified Negro UOteys.
There wlH be many legal suits filed before
the Obsta cles to registration are overcome.
The end Of the poll tax should however,
arouse the voti'ag interests Of all Negroes
Who haze not eOey been required to pay poll
tax or face a HteYacy test.
EveYy person should remember that many
thousands haze died in order to assure the
vOtinlg rights of their children and grand
children.
Poll taxes haze ended but let's improve our
action at the voteYs' registration aOindouOs.
Also, let's Improve our action at the polls.

THE HOT LINE


Of international and national ag-

demonstrations, riots, fights,
massacres and other terrible
deeds occurring at home and
on foreign soil.
Our diplomats have convinced
those who are in power to es-
tablish shot line" from Wash
ington DC. to Moscow. This pri-
vate telephone service is con-
nected directly from our presi-
dent office to the Russian pre-
mier's office. The line is sup
posedly method to prevent hasty
decisions and save time routing
Information through our diplo-
matte corps.
A couple of weeks ago some
person in Finland severed piece
of the hot line connection. just

matte and urgent message to con-

Housed Can't you see Lyndon
drawing to Nk1ta, "Howdy, Nix
XII, how ya'll been over there7"
Before Nikita would have had
time to answer and get the pro-
per translation back - the wire
would have been severed by an
irate citizen or some irrespon-
sible prankster.
We may marvel at man. at
tempts to conquer space, but
there are many more gremlins
around than the scientists dare to
mention. They are constantly
preparing for the unforeseen or the
problematic or the theoretical
but never, never should the human
element be overlooked.
No mention was made for the
reason of the Firms action. He
merely cut the wire. Perhaps. he
had an unhappy childhood. Per-
chance, his early days we're upset
by the constant ringing of tele-
phone. Maybe he was ignored by
his mother while she conversed
on the telephone.
Instead of hot line there
should be in its place a hot
party line. Why have just one hot
line to the Russians7 What about
a hot line with Great Britain,
France, West and EastGermany,
Greece, Liberia, New Zealand,
Brazil and Antarctica7
This would give our men in
the White House ample instant
coverage of faraway places.
This hot party line would be
connected through some kind of
dual control--no one station could
be interrupted by mere cutting
of the wire. A satellite trans
mitter would no doubt be useful.
In addition the hot line con-
versations should be teleWsed
via the national hookups. Cities
without teleWsion facilities could
hear the phone calls on the ma
tional radio broadcasts.
The international hot party line
would eliminate the vast intelli-
gence and counter intelligence
corps which operate in all ma
tions. This would also halt the
need for the hundreds of foreign
ambassadors, embassy officers
and emissaries of good will who
inhabit the cities across the four
corners Of the earth.
AS the operation became bet
ter controlled there could be a
line connected with all of the
nations represented in the
United Nations. We could save
other thousands by providing all
