Democrats Charged with "Gutter Politics" in l^ove
To Blame GOP Block of Urban Affairs Proper
By LOUIS LAL'TIER
IDITOR'S N0T2: The writer
of HiU article, Louis Lautier, i*
M ^ectal assistant to tlie chair
man ol the Republican Party's
National Committae.
Gutter politiM is the only
phrase which describes the Demo
cratic effort to put the Republl-
cans behind the eiSht-ball on thi*
bill to create a Department of
Urban Affairs.
In their political maneuvering,
IHreaident Kennedy and^ Democra
tic Chairman John M. Bailey arc
using the issue to gain politica'
advantaged Robt. C- Weaver, head
of Ibe Hpusing and Home Finance
Administration, is merely an un
happy pawn in a political chcKS
game.
The Republican vote in the
House Rules Committee not to
tend the bill to the House floor
was based on the demerits of the
msaaure. The bill was a fraud—
It would not solve the problems
of urban communities but would
create a large and sprawling bu
reaucracy.
President Kennedy last year
had the Rules Committee paclced
to make it easier to get his legis
lative program to the House floor
Demc^rats on the committee out
number! Republicans 10 to 9. They
could have voted tht> bill out, if
they had seen fit to do so.
The Reorganization Act has been
available to President Kennedy
ever since his ■elMtiqn. He could
.Jiave sent to Congress a rcorgani-
ziition plan creating a Department
Urban Affairs a year ago. and
that plan would have gone into
effect in 60 days unless vetoed
by the House or Senate.
But the scheme t6 send up a
bill first was cynically devised to
put the Republicans on the spot.
The question of a^Department
of Urban Affairs ii one thtng; the
question of Weaver’s appointment
to a Cabinet position is another
The propo.;ed plan to create an
Urban Affairs Department-ahouid
a Negro will be appointed to the
Kennedy Cabinet.
It the Departmen'i is created,
President Kennedy can appoint
■whomever he chooses to head it,
and his nominee will have Repub
lican sanction unless there is
good reason for his rejection.
The Kennedy-Bailev implication
that Republican opposition to the
plan to create an Urban Affairs
Department is based on opposition
to elevation of Weaver to Cabi
net status is absolute hof;wash.
The fight for approval of Wea
ver’s nomination to head the Hous
ing agencics was led in the Senate
Banicing and Currency Commit-
teen by Senator Jacob K. Javits,
New Yoric Republican, while the
two Senate Democrats who should
have been leading the fight for
confirmation were opposing Wea
ver, and a third Democratic mem
ber of the committee was maicingl
himself look ridiculous in his op-{
position to Weaver.
In the Senate debate on confir
malion, Republicans spok'* in su;
port of , the nomination. Six Sct
tors spoke afiainst the nominatic
and they were all Southern Dum:'
crats.
President Kennedy and r.ail?
may think they can cet away v./i !
their callous political maneuver
But the chances are it will boom
oranR. NcRroes are not so gulli
ble that they cannot see'that th*
Ktnncdy-Bailey moves were madi'
to throw tip a .smokescreen an''
hide the failure of President Kei
nedy to keop Democratic platforn
and Candidate Kennedy’s campaign
promises to ban racial disccimina-
tion in federally-assisted housing.
Negroes understand the full im
port of President Kennedy’s press
conference statement that he
would issue such an Executive
order, when he considers it to be
in the public interest.

Elk Head Tells West Indians in Talk
TRINIDAD, WEST INDIES
—After speaking to more than
1,000 in the Market Place of
Barbados, Judge Hobson R.
licynolds of Philadelphia, Grand
Kxalted Ruler of the Improved
Benevolent Protective Order of
Rlks of the World (IBPOEW),
•cached here, this week, on the
'Inal leg of his tour of the West
Indies.
Judge Reynolds estimates that
luring the tour which began
in .Tanuary 12, he has spoken
before thousands of citizens of
'he Islands, and finds them
thursting for leadership and
^uifl'ance.
The Elks’ “Grand” Is accom-
■^anied on the tour by his wife,
Mrs. Eve Lynn Reynolds.
A.sscrting that he was moved
'ly the deep sense of responsit
'>i1itv and desire of the West
fndies to participate in the lead
ership of the future world,
'ii'l(!e Reynolds .said:
“Any argument against the
“ranting of independence to
people would be groundless in
view of the progress shown in
thi, West Indies.
“Over the entire Island Ne
groes are making great efforts
to secure knowledge, grow in
statiie and develop leaders to
shoulder the responsibility of a
free and democratic world
World leadership is surely com
ing to depending on the darker
races.
“As head of the IBPOEW, I
would anticipate that the Elks
of the Island would attend our
meetings, ijut the fact that every
where thou.=ands have turned
out indicates that these people
are hungry for inspiration and
leadership.”
The “Grand” anticipates in-
c r e a s ed enrollment in the
IBPOEW by virtue of his visit
but he is also making a survey
of the needs of The West Indies
which he plans to send to Presi
dent John F. Kennedy for con
sideration under our Alliance
for Progress.

Twenty Rights
Groups Protest
Ministers' Fate
BIRiMINGHAM, ALA.
Twenty civil rights organiza
tions in nine Southern states
joined today in a telegram to
Attorney-General Robert Ken
nedy urging him to intervene in
the ease of two Alabama minis
ters.
The two ministers, the Rev
Fred L. Shuttlesworth and the
Rev. J. S. Phifer, entered Bir
mingham jail Jan. 25 to serve
90 and 60-day sentences for
challenging in 1958 a bus se
gregation ordinance that was
later declared unconstitutional.
The convictions of the two
ministers in state courts was
upheld by the Alabama Supreme
Court. The U. S. Supreme Court
on January 9 refused to review
the convictions because of
technical flaws in the appeals.
“We feel,” said the telegram,
“that no technicality should l)e
allowed to make two American
citizens serve jail sentences on
enlarges that our federal courts
have declared were illegal in
the first place especially on an
issue such as bus segregratlon
which our courts and public
oiplnion of the nation have so
clearly denounced as wrong.”
