President’s Initial Address Said ‘Moral Masterpiece’ WASHINGTON (ANF)—Pover ty and racial discrimination—twin evils which have harassed the Ne grom since he first set toot on American soli—were verbally at tacked by the President of the United States In a manner so con vincing, last week, that Negroes could feel that "help” waj finally on its way. / It was Lyndon Baines John son’s first State of the Union message and it was a master piece both politically and moraly. In a gigantic 41 minutes, the President knocked the props out from under the Capitol Hill GOP 'which spends most of its time clamoring for reduced spending) by promising to spend less in '64 than was spent In ’63: And he gave to the nation’s poor, sick, Aged, illiterates, dropouts, unemployed, 111-housed and no housel, 111-skiled and unskilled, and finally the brutaly segregated jim-crowed Negro the hope of a panasea that could literally change the face of America. The President practically “prom ised the moon.” but there was one. basic underlying reason mentioned briefly in his address —which suggested that il he did not get all of his “moon” out of this woeful and pitiful 86th Con gress, he was certainly assured of part of It. That reason was and Is that white America is beginning to face squarely the fa*t that there are as many or more white Americans as Negroes who are poor, poverty-strick en, sick, homeless. Illiterate, jobless and out of the main stream of American life The message Indicated Negroes yould be indirect beenflclaries of poverty-eliminating programs, ra ther than direct. The only differentiation be tween poverty-stricken whites and Negroes Is that whites are not black and not brutally segre gated and discriminated against because of race.
