BETWEEN THE LINES &0< SPEAKING OF SPARKMAN Shortly after I had organized the department of economies and sociology in Virginia Un ion 30 years ago, field trips for my classes were inaugurated.

The various treatments for the insan* were stressed. It ha.- interesting to note the steady improvement in the tvars and means of treating the mentally ill.

But this w viter also appreciates the f.qgt tl t being dependent on cer tain elements in Alabama for •his election to the congress of lh< United States. Sen Spark man had to speak the lanei’.aer of his supporting constituency who unfortunately art against civil r eins for Negroes Bui the stubborn fact must ever be borne in mind that one of the chief duties of a man in politics is to get elected fail ing t.hi- : , hj influence i de-id ■■■•l!-- hmbed. Roosevelt had to fei elected. Truman -had to get ?’• vied. Lincoln bad to get ‘ tec led. Sparkman had to get elec ted, av •> that by respecting the v!; lips of !hp> who supported him. One of tin strong points jn favor of Sparkman is, in is a southern Methodist Anri this i <. pecially significant in view ot the fact that Southern Meth odist;, haw always | d in pro grams of inter;-;.i ; 1 coopera tion. They ?rc the most liberal of all the denominational groups throughout the South. The jntc-rarcial gesture; now being made by the other de nominations were made by the Southern Methodists years ago. In race relations Southern Me thodists lead and the other denominations follow. This is- Sparkman’s religious back ground, find a great one. The principle behind Sp't**- man's religious training is far more important than any ex pediences foisted upon him by his political necessities. Tlv motivations of Sparkman, the devout Southern Methodist, arc far more important than the rnaneuvt rs of Sparkman the politician .. Sparkman, a southerner, had to got elected! But it h also one of the most t> illiant facts of moth rn history that once a southerner secs the light, h< becomes invincible. What about Mr. Justice Black? What about Harry Truman? What about the Judge Waitings, the moral titans of this generation With Sparkman on the spot, Negroes have nothing to fear This writer predicts that Spark man will carry out his coign reeni with credit to th Demo cratic party and to the cause of betterment in race relations.
