Executive Deparhnent Should
Uncover Reds, Javits Holds
NEW YORK
The executive department of
the government “should be
charged with the responsibility*
of seeing that the executive de
partment does its job,” Con
gressman Jacob Javits, told
Walter White in an interview
broadcast today over station
WLIB here and affiliated sta
tions elsewhere.
Speaking on the Walter White
program, the New York Repub
lican said that the Harry Dexter
White controversy “has touched
off debate on the highest levels
and raised the question: shall
accusation be submitted for
proof? Attorney General Brown
ell was put to his proof which
was a very good thing and a
very gqpd lesson to McCarthy
and others in this field.”
Questioned by the NAACP
secretary as to the outlook for
civil rights. Congressman Javltis
said that he believed “the chan
ces are a little better than in pre
vious years because the Republi
can senators don’t have the so
cial prejudice that southern
Democrats do. I believe a bill a
for the FEPC idea has a better
chance than a straight FEPC
with enforcement powers.
Nevertheless, Senators Ives, Le
hman, Humphrey and I will flght
hard for an FEPC with enforce
ment, powers.”

design made by rolling a com

-Implications-
(Continued from Page Two)
mayed by the threats of Gover
nors James F. Byrnes of South
Carolina and Herman Talmadge
of Georgia to abandon the pub
lic school system rather than
have it democratized. We have
greater faith in the common
sense and fundamental decency
of southern white people than
do these two governors. We do
not believe that they would ra
ther have their children grow up
in ignorance than have them
taught in the same classrooms
with Negro children. Nor do we
forsee any of the dire consequenr
ces which the prophets of doom
always predict whenever tradi
tional mores are changed. The
admission of Negro students to
graduate i and professional
schools of publicly financed uni
versities in 12 southern and bor
der states occasioned no unto
ward incident. Indeed, it led to
the breakdown of color bars in
several private institutions in
the region. Nor was there wide
spread bloodshed following the
abolition of the “white primary”
in the South, as predicted.
The South is more mature
than some of its spokesmen
would have us believe. There
is mounting evidence that a con
stantly growing segment" of
southern "Whites is ready to ac
cept the end of segregation. Edi
torial comment in the aouthem
pres* indicates a deetre to com-
ply with the Court's ruling and
rejection of the Byraes-Tml-
madge proposal to abandon the
public school system. Chureh
groups, units of tlie organized la-
bor movementy students, youth
organisations, and others in the
South of both races have gone
on record as oppoeed to the con
tinuation of segregation.
As our lawyers argue for an
integrated, democratic public
school system* they will have
the practically solid support of
Negroes in all sections of the
country, as well as the endorse
ment of tiie most enlightened
elements of all races and faiths
in all parts of the country.
Against them will be arrayed the
spokesmen for the most benight
ed element in the country, the
professional hate-mongers, the
timid souls who always fear
change, the reactionaries who
continue to look backwards to
the Nineteenth Century, the
weak and insecure who dread
the possibility of meeting other
groups in free and open compe
tition.
The public school systetn is
one of the foundation stones
in the structure of democ^cy.
But if the stone itself is crump
ling because of segregation it
endangers the entire structure.
In fighting to eliminate segrega
tion in public school education,
the NAACP is fighting to
strengthen American democracy.
