Fortunately, to data, the action of most police depart ments in the South has b«en of the highest quality. In an at- trmpt to maintain law and order. We recogoizc that no one has a moral ri£;ht to discriminate asainst a Ne.ttro because of his rare. If is unfortunate that Ne- Rroes are forced into boycott and protest as a means to gain and safeguard the respect and rights due any human being. The human relations problems of our sou:hern states are seri ous, as they are in the north, and they call for frankness and hard work to resolve. The cur rent protest movement should clearly damonstrate to ail clear headed Americans that move- ’ merits of restriction \by laglsla- tion or by police action or by more violent method* only avoid and make more difDcult the institu'ion of those just relation ship! sneeessary to a .continua tion of our democracy.

Wilson said to day in THE REPORTER. In a copyrighted articb, “IIow the Northern Negro Uses Ilis Vote,” Mr. Wilson points out that certain political quarters, when the I960 Department of Commerce decennial census is published, “the first page to which many will turn will be that showing the size of the Negro population of Northern cities.” in this new census, according to Wilton, some ci 'ies may find their Negro population amount ing to more than half the total. Ha cites Washhtgton, D. C., as an ifxample, adding that "this will ' increase resistance from Southern Congressional leaders to 'home rule' for Washington." The exact size of the Negro population is now a matter of con- Although Negroes and wiiites electoral ^stetn in the city influ- both forsee the problems arising t|ie candidates chances. Ne- from the relatively high voting groes rise more quickly to public strength of the Northern Negroes “many Negroes view this develop ment with satisfaction,” Wilson writes. “In ,1956 It is estimated that three million Negroes Kigiste^ ei to vote in the North, of whom perhaps two to two and a half million actually voted.” The future of Northern libar- als is one of the problem ac cording to Wilson. "In the past, congressmen and other elected officials from large Northern cities have b»en sensitive to tha presumed demands of Negroes and o:'her minority groups . . . But as Negroes move into form- ^ly all-white political districts, at an ev«r increasing rata, an ever increasing rate, an effort is almost invariably mada to re- placs the white elec'ed officials with Negraes. “Many while politicians, when Negroes enter their bailiwicks, unanimous in their praise represckitatfion, jecture in the political wards of many cities^.

Baker was once a judge but resigned under fire whfen discovered he had been ig noring numerous traffic tickets. De Sapio is also reported to be unhappy about Jaclc returning to work so soon after the case was taken up a relationship with Sid ney Unger in the first place.

Enthusiasm for Boycott Highest Yet Among NAACP Units, Official Says; Most Have Planned Action NEW YORK — There was con siderable evidence this week that consumers in many cities are be ginning to withhold pi»*ronage from chain variety stores with units in the^ South that discrimin ate against Negro customers at lunch counters. 'the "withholding policy" wa* announced by. NAACP Executive Secretary ftoy Wllkiils In a di rective to all NAACP branches on March 16. Up to this point NAACP urilts were only asked to support student demonstrators by sending wires to the store heads picketing,and handing'out literature. "Almost every branch wii-h- out exception has conducted meetings, launched picketing campaigns, and sent wires, "Glos- ter B. Current, director of branches, said today. The NAACP New En.f/iand Re gional Confersnce announced that Saturday, March 26, was “New England NAACP Picket Day.” Mrs. Mary Johnson Lowe, presi dent of the Bronx branch NAACP, reported the successful picketing of a Woo^w»orth store in fhe Bronx community; “During the, 4 and ohe half hrs. of picketing, the store was practi cally empty and we are pleased to report that we were greatly en couraged by the people on the street who displ^ed complete sym pathy with our efforts and ap preciated the public pronounce ment of the fight of the Negro for equality in the North as well as tbe South.” Similar response* came from dlverie cities with NAACP branches as Dvnver, Colo.; Dan bury, Conn.; Knoxville, Tenn.; Dowaglac, Mich.

Picketers gave out 2,50(1 leaflets in one day "I don't know when there has been such enthusiasm on the part of the branches for a speci fic cause," Current added. The decision to urge withhold ing of patronage was made after F. W. Woolworth S. S, Kresge, S. H. Kress, and W. T. Grant publicly announced on March 15 their in tention to continue their policy of refusing to serve Negroes except on a segregated basis. Current observed that it was "still too early to fully evaluate the effectiveness of the with holding patronage phase." However, daily reports coming into the national office, he^ stated, indicate stepped-up protests in all forms. He reported that “NACP units in over 250 cities have engaged in some kind of protest activity sup porting southern students demon strations.” Barbee Durham, executive secre tary of the Columbus, Ohio, branch, reported that a total of S732 has been raised for defense of southern students arrested and fined.
