A friend of mine said to me recently that he had heard a prom(inent Democratic office holder declare; "■you would thtrk that, ju.st once in a while, the Reoubli- cans would forget and do aomethlng right on the race is aue.” I think I know what he meant. Republicans — despite the fact that they are still trying to get thg Negro to vote for a ghost candidate — Mr. Lin coln — seem to have a talent for doing and saying the wrong things on the Negro que.stion or not doing or say ing the right things. It Is interesting, for In- .itance, thaj Mr. Elsenhower, less than a couple of weeks ago, decided to make a state- tpent to the effect th'at the 1BS4 Sunreme Court decision on school integration is moral ly correct. When Mr. Else’'hnwer was President, he refused repeat edly, to admit whether hg be lievert this o** not|. He was will ing to say that he felt it was his duty to enforce, the decl s i n n. But he added that ft didn’t really matter whether he thought It was correct. Here was a whole world in turmoil, a deadly cold war in process between the democra tic ideology and tho commu- rlst ideology — and black na tions. comprising the over whelming majority of the world’s peoole, trying to de . cide which ideology to follow »nd a-- President of the_United States didn't have the moral stajnina or even the common, ordinary sense to say wheth er he believed it morally cor rect fo,r^ law to exist maki'^R it nocftible for black and white children tn go to school to gether. W.iV, 'i’ are hannv that Mr. Eisenhower is finallv on record. We k'T.ew .all along thnt ho believed in Bov Scouts and Girl ScoQt.s and mother hood and eolf. Now we know fh»t he h»lieves the hijfh court of our land wns not pixill ated wh^n ft handed down the sehont decision. Then, you take Senator nirkren, the S°n!>t., Msiority ' Leader, His record and his re cent gt»terp“»its on eiTril r!ght« give ro Indication that he w.nnts to see the Negro as.surne his rl/jht'ful niaco in the main stream of Our democracy or our economy. As for ,?enator 'Rnrrv Gold- water, I think it hns beco’^e prettv nbvinns wbpre h» Marlds. Mr. Goldwater serms to feel that he can eanture the Southern vote which h»s he"n eantlvp to th*" nemocrntte Party, bv fashioning some sort of white man’s party but of th» GOP. And, ontv reeentlv, Mr. Vlrrtn ren^wted his hon„ a"d betW that the racial Issue will not be a malor Issue In tM» election*. After he t»nf lle>o/i In IBflo. he admitted pilWlclv fihat he could have won Jiad he >v»en ynore po.«l- Whflt maVes _hlm think — In view of *he fnet thnt a tTe- tlvo on the elvll rights Is'liie. pro, Rovolutlon has tofcnti nlae„ a^^d a March on Wnsh- jnrfton —* fhftt h»> rt»* nnvon* el^ eould b“come Preaident or Inf1u*>nc« the maklnff of a Prealdent _ t>r lanorlne the hopes and aanlratlons of twen- ty million American blaelia?

The Party* would do will' to take^'a good look at Mr. Rock efeller’s record as a Governor and as - a. man. Instead of worrying to much about hlf divorce, perhaps the GOP ought to begin trying to br^ak up the shotgun wedding which seems likely to take place between Republicans and the segregationist forccs of North and South, Mr, Elsenhower, by the wav, sai'd in a SATURDAY EVEN ING POST article, that he has “serious doubt” that the most effective approach to qivll rights is a “barragp of federal laws seeking to pinpoint and eradicate in one great sweep every possible item of dis crimination.” Such a program, he continues, “further compli cates and emotionalie.s a” al- ready„ highly charged ^ issue laws alone cannot product’the full result Wg heed.” Well, personally. I giv^ less than a you-can-guess-what that some whitg peoples’ emotions are going to run rampant be cause we want to insure our freedom. Our emotions have run pretty highh when we have seen lynchings and our child ren bombed in churches. As for the familiar crack about law not being the end-all, 1 have to go along with Dr. Mar tin King In observing that laws cannot make tho white man., love me, but they can keep trtm from lynuliingTng — and I think that’s fairly im portant,” I think it is also important for the Negro people to kbep a wary eye on the Republic ans like"'GoIdwater, Dlrksen, Nixon and-Mr, Eisenhower. In pa'rtlng,'^:;lit pie remind Gen eral EfaenhQwer that if he h«a used '^nradila,l|^ and modera tion InJp-t>ay on the beach head of^Etil'ope We wouldn’t have to- worry about civil rights.
