Those of us in the Soi smile about, but it ia-rathe fied brethren of the north called civil rights demonsto up affairs in their neck of Every professional int< rid very little in national politics to humorous to hear all of the sancti and whining for reason in the so rt are now beginning to really foul from Lyndon Johnson on ddwn is pegging mese misicu mu® uui to auari op irunt uuuuu uic World Fair. They are picketing the pickets in Detroit and Philadelphia, a crazy mixed up preacher is ground to death beneath a bulldozer, and the whole mad, mad mess goes on and on and as Major Bowes used to say, Where it stops nobody knows. Of course, this mess is not the fault of colored people. It is the fault of hypocritical^ lying, cheating, two-faced white politicians who want the colored man’s vote on election day and no part of him the rest of the year. By misguided preachers who want the colored man’s dues in his church but who would have a running fit at the thought of a colored son-in-law or daughter-in-law. ' True, the colored people were originally brought to this country by white men from New England, England and Holland and held as slaves for more than 200 years. They have been denied privileges, and in some areas they have also been denied basic rights. But in the written history of man there never has been any area where the colored race has risen so high and so fas^ as in the much maligned Southland. The colored people of any base intelligence have known this for a very long time. They have heard the lies of northern politicians be fore, and they have, in the majority disregarded these lies. But there are enough young colored people, enough.misled, misguided, lazy, good for-nothings who still beat their wings against ihe flames of Northern promises. And when they get there they find the promises are nothing except a long tissue of lies and then they get very bitter and begin to revolt against all authority. I am truly sorry for these misguided young colored people, because they are fighting to a lost cause, fighting an unnecessary war for rights they already had.- ' I am not sorry however for the north because it has swallowed all these political lies. Now the hungry frustrated masses are swarming over them and they do not know what to do. They promised the colored people the South with a pink ribbon tied around it but they are finding it easier to promise than to deliver. So the angry young colored people have decided not to wait fft the Green Pastures of the South to be west and there they have found out exactly what kind of lies they far west and there they have found out exactly what kind of lies they have been told and they are bitter, and angry and frustrated, and I ddn’t blame them one bit. Other Editors 'J'-1 ' RICHMOND NEWS-LEADER LBJ And Civil Rights Congressman Joel Broyhill oi Virginia’s 10th district exploded a fine cannon-cracker during a re cent debate on the civil rights bill, but its impact was muffled in the midst of all the other fireworks. Mr. Broyhill first asked innocent ly if there were any assurance that President Johnson supports the pending bill. New York’s,Congress man Celler made a confident re ply: “President Johnson has stated in his message he is in support of this legislation." « Whereupon Mr. Broyhill dredg ed from his fU^S ajfcl&r seirt by an Arlington ionstifutent to Lyn don Johnson on March 11, 1957, when Mr. Johnson was a senator from Texas and a relatively mild civil rights bill was. then pending in the Congress. The constituent had read that Sen. Johnson was supporting the bill. He felt that the bill would destroy more civil liberties and civil rights than it will ever protect" .On March 19, 1957, Sen. Lyndon Johnson dispatched an increduons reply. This is what Lyndon John son wrote then: **I do not know where you could have gotten the idea that I am supporting ‘the so-called bill for civil rights legislation now before Congress.’ Certainly I have made no statement to that effect, nor have I intimated to anyone that I plan any such support. i “The bill that has been introduc ed S’ one to whicli'l am very r*uch opposed, as I do not believfc it would advance any legitimate cause. Sincerely, Lyndon B. John son." The 1957 bill, finally enacted into law, had some feeble justification under the 15th amendment. It dealt 51 be located in the Highland Avenue Distribution Center. Notice of intent to exercise their option on approximately one and one quarter acres located on the East side of. Summit Avenue and just South of the Local Linen Site in the Distribution Center was given to W. A. Bowen, President of the Kinston-Lenoir County De velopment Corporation by Craven B. Brooks. an<k.H. Frank (Brooks last week. Brooks advised that it is their intention to begin early construc tion of a concrete and steel ware house to be 16,000 square feet in size with completion scheduled tor the latter part of June, following which the facility will be leased to James M. White. Grading of the site area is already underway. > White staled that the new op* eration will be known' as the SER VICE BONDED WAREHOUSE and will offer complete and mod ern bonded storage facilities for public use. Rail service will be pro vided by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad through the extension of a spur track and a multiple loading ramp is to be so designed as to accortynodate all types of trucks. Featuring efficient palletized and fork lift operation time loss of load ing and unloading will be reduced solely with voting rights. The 1964 bill, just passed in the House, vi olates the Constitution in a dozen different ways. It deals with ev erything under the sun. “Could it be,” asked Mr. Broy hill, “that there are two Lyndon Johnsons ?” Will the real Lyndon Johnson please stand up? France celebrated the 60th birth of the Entente Cordiale last week by voting against Britain in the UN resolution “deploring” the Ye men fort bombing. There is irony in this coincidence, for the 1904 pact was based on na Anglo-French colonial settlement and France, no TWO ON SIERRA Millord P. Price, machinery re pairman first class, Raymond T.

Hitherto, France has marched side by side with Britain in “im perialist” debates at the United Nations. According to one report, some very non-Gallic muddle in Paris was partly responsible for her breaking step now. But other factors were almost certainly at work President de Gaulle is emerging more and more as the new champion of the “third World,” self-appointed but already strongly supported. As such, he is in direct competition for Latin American and Afro-Asian sympa thies with professional pundits of non-alignment like Nasser, Tito and Soekarao. All this makes his position as a NATQ ally even more complicated, as well as standing the original En tente Cordiale on its head.
