Lertainlv the North Curoltna i J delegation would not agree- with Mi " Rankin Rut when the vote wax taken. • they voted the same way Mi Rankin did. They voted along with othei south- 1 ei u iepiesentativt-r. whose political !r <-s iike that of Rankin, depend on a small e:t, torate. They voted wit.ii the States * Lighters.. who follow the line that it is proper to let anything go on undei tin g'Jise of the “rights'’ of the States, no matter what wrongs may he done in the process to millions of people who live in the state. , j Piobably one of the most telling argu ments in favor ot a tederal la-,-. t,o abo.dsh the poll tax as a requisite foi voting in fed eral elections and primaries i.- t int only those qualified to vote under the present •sws of the states having the poll tax can vote on the poll tax abolition issue. So u is not really States' Rights versus Fed eral interference wh -eh is at issue, it is t”*e State interference with the right of 'the people to vote for Federal officers, including lumbers oi the House of Repre sentatives and the 1 nited States Senate Hie number of the former to which each ,-miens entitled is by the l. S. Constitution based on population, and this includes biacks as well a whites, non-poll tax pay er as well as those who do pay, or have the tax paid foi them. If the southern bloc in Congress con uinues to refuse to let the poll tax be eliminated, and argue righteously that the anti-poll tar legislation would be un constitutional, it might be extremely in teresting to see what would happen if a part of the U S. Constitution as it now stands were i iked. It reads: “. . When 1 right to vote at any elec tion for the choice of Electors for Presi dem and Vice-President of the United •States.

There is no point in striking back at the residents of Longview Park. 1 he case •for the new development for Negroes can rest firmly on its own merits. The Long view residents deny that racial prejudice <•*ntms into their attitude toward the pio jected development. One may have one’s own opinions as to trai. But as the News ad Observer observes editorially: ‘ Nobody suggest- that Raleigh does not desperately need, more decent low cost housing for Negroes. This project is the only one presented which provided any real hope for it. This protest is de signed to kill that project. No talk of ■planning, ‘recreation,’ 'home ownership,' deu-uty/ ’democracy' or anything <: i.v. will change the fatt that these white owh i ■ej> who :eeenfly beame the neighbors of a long-established Negro neighborhood ■v am to prevent decent housing tor Ne groes m their own neighborhood. It it should become an established rule tin.t while residents can move up against a Uegro neighborhood and then prevent a pivyicet t • provide decent housing for Nc gioes in that neighborhood, it would be s.-ntpier just to make it against the law to provide decent housing for Negroes anywhere." And again from the same source: -Negro citizens are Jt s much entitled to enterprise which wiil make Raleigh h gjooci city for them ;i& w hite citizens art to such- enterppri? a.” it could 'o. oh nary to the best m terest as well as the best tradition of Raleigh to sidetrack tun housing development. Work should have started on it. already. 'We hope and believe that it will soon start, with the full approval of the city authorities, and of most of the people of Raleigh. l HE CAJIOUNIAN ¥ ■ ft* f ;•(_ ~ I f . j wtLs -Lij-Ajm * fAiiAt j kyf '|£srv> "A® li&Bh-* - l ' |_j j... • 'V" •—■ CAP fTALA THE ''SUAuMjWE. > a,ec * ? - , ttft '-y6QVefehM y SEKT.:DEC!^ATF , S TO - , /' v ->• -7-wJ^' •';THr%'posirioN''THAT v ClT'^^N&';.N.. - v;T-V A*** -r * • ' WCmsß Os; U ACE Y.
