14 THE CAROLINIAN RALEIGH. N. C., SATURDAY. DL ..iEF 17, 1966 NEWS & VIEWS BY J. B. BARREN SALUTE TO RALPH JOHNS GREENSBORO - This column extends a hearty Salute to Ralph Johns, the outspoken patriotic white man of Jewish extraction (we believe) who has the courage of his convictions and many times has spoken out for and contributed to the Civil Rights fight of his colored brothers. Last week he spoke out regard ing the war effort. We met Mr. Johns about ten years ago. At that time he was enrolled as an NAACPLife Member and was actively en gaged in helping the Greensbo ro NAACP Branch in all en deavors. Last week he gained national even International - fame when he proposed to quit his haber dashery business and go to North Viet Nam to take the place of any young American prisoner of war now being held by the Viet Cong. This is all the more remark able because Johns is 51 years old, and feels “I have nothing to loose, because my life is behind me.” The sad note is that Ralph Johns attributes the break up of his home - he had a wife and two teenage daugh ters, who went with their mother -to his civil rights activities! We’re so sorry for this. Be cause of this, Negroes with appreciative minds grieve at the sadness suffered by Ralph Johns. We wish him all the success and happiness possible. We trust he will continue- to stand up for civil rights and the principles of brotherhood of all men. May God’s blessings continue with him. But we wish he would stay here and let the Negroes he has helped so much show him that they really care. REVIEW OF REVIEW Walter Spearman, reviewer for the Rocky Mount Telegram, reports on the book, "Negroes and the New Southern Politics,” by University of North Carolina professors Donald R. Matthews and James W. Prothro, just off the press of Harcourt, Brace and World. Among Spearman’s several observations, we like best his following analysis: - By the time the Upper South catches up with the nation as a whole in race relations, probably the Lower South w ill be up to where the Upper South is now. ‘‘There is a ‘desperate shortage’ of capable Negro leaders.” ‘‘The concrete, measurable payoffs from Negro voting in the South will not be revolutionary.” (Will take many years of consistent hard work and building up, and Negroes must not become wea ry, we add).
