Many supposed Christians lack al most entirely this spiritual gentleness, and seem to believe that by tirades of condemna tion men can be lashed into goodness. Like (ionummity i hallen«je Highw il\ ISf Throughout the nation superhighways are rising with great rapidity, but with their construction often comes the isola tion of minority citizens who become set apart more and'more. This very fact was noted recently before the Nashville (Tenn.) Chamber of Com merce by Dr. Charles Mitchell a Meharry Medical School professor, in. a breakfast address. His statements were a broad indictment of both the private and public sector of the local community—Nashville, Tennes see. The address charged the leadership with thoughtless planning, wholesale job discrimination and inferior, segregated housing patterns. Dr. Mitchell was referring to the 6.8 mil lion project extending the expressway from 48th Avenue to Bth Avenue North, and which also was the cause of many homes being demolished in the Negro sector. The project involves the Fisk University, Me harry Medical College, and Tennessee State AM University areas. The Nashville Banner in commenting on Mitchell’s address said: “Dr. Mitchell did not address himself to some areas where progress has been made in attacking traditional barriers. Perhaps this was because he thinks the progress has been too little and too late. Perhaps he .thinks there is dangerous need for more breakthroughs. And perhaps as in the case of school segregation he thinks—as he said —that progress has been no more than ‘to kenism.’ ” Many of the Chamber of Commerce members may not have liked what they heard, but some realized that if Nashville is to move ahead in the right direction, it must not keep a substantial portion of the population situated in inferior jobs, trap ped in inferior housing or excluded from the fruits of a growing community on the move. As Dr. Mitchell said there is something wrong when a community like Davidson County attempts to connect three other ad- What About Those Men Os The House? Momism and feminism seem to be grad ually dominating every facet of our lives, it appears that the nation is fast transform ing itself into a matriarchy. Why is this occurring? Simply, because there are not many patriarchs. How many men do you know who are heads of their households? Most men are allowing the responsibilities of being a fath er and a lord of manor to fall smoothly and easily upon the shoulders of their spouses. How many men do you know who regulate the family budget in their families? (And we must admit, were .it not the firm busi ness hand of mom some homes would be bankrupt financially.) Most women pay the bills and make the final decision of whether something can be or cannot be afforded. How many men do you know who play the major role in the rearing of their chil dren? In order for a boy to become a man, he needs a masculine example to follow, a masculine hand to guide him as well as to hold him when circumstances call for dis cipline or affection. When the boy recog nises only mama and her feminine touch, what do you expect him to see later? Women go to church in larger numbers than men it seems. They may worry about what they are going to wear, but at least they go to church And they don’t use the excuse of golfing, fishing, hunting or mow ing the lawn.

Naturally, the highway officials did not agree with the statements made in Mit chell’s address. J. V. Graves, director ot administration for the State Highway De partment of Tennessee, said flatly that Mitchell’s charges were not justified, and that “the communities which surround Fisk, Tennessee A&I, and Meharry Col lege will be connected by four crossings.’’ It seems to us that Mitchell was imply ing that the new superhighway extension which makes it inviting for whites from adjacent countites to commute to the Nashville metropolitan industrial areas, thereby forcing the Negroes in the Nash ville sector to continue to be the last hired and the first fired. It is easy for the powers-that-be to for get those poor people living below the highway, and who can only reach the main thoroughfare by four crossings. How will that highway benefit the Negro citizens of the metropolitan area? Os course, it will bring more out-of-town shoppers and more non-resident workers, but what will it do for that host of non-skilled Nashville citi zens Mitchell was trying to get listeners to observe. We are not in position to take sides in the Nashville problem, but a description of it and the procedures of planning are the same no matter where—Raleigh, Char lotte, Birmingham, Philadelphia, and so on. Negroes are not considered and brought into the planning sessions. If so, in most in stances the blue print has been set and de termined before Negroes would have any say in behalf of those being affected. If the American cities and communities are to plan wisely for the future, they can not continue to ignore the Negroes’ coun sel. And may we add that there are hun dreds of Negroes whose heads are more than bean nuts. Administrative officials and the power structure will learn this les son after it is too late. places of leadership because men who should assume their share of home and community responsibilities are not doing so. A lot of persons are aware of the declin ing position of the male who has been sit ting down, as it were, on the stool of do nothing in places where action counts. If one surveys the course in American history, he will observe that shortly after slavery by and large that it was the Negro woman who kept the family .together eco nomically. She cooked in the big house and brought home the bacon when Negro men could find no jobs. This was also true dur ing the days of the depression when Presi dent Franklin D. Roosevelt had to give our financial structure a shot in the arm. Finally, one of the worst factors contri buting to the predominance of monism is our economy itself—private, public, and otherwise. A man can’t earn enough now to provide for his family and let his wife stay at home and keep house and provide for the needs of the children. Instead, our industrial and public economy is forcing households to dump their children into nursery schools and kindergartens every day. In the mad rush for profits, industry has given little concern for the need of the mother to remain at home, and to the need of paying male workers enough in wages to provide adequately for their families. The working-man-and-wife-team has be come away of life, and with it has come many evils which we cannot eradicate very easily. end work. Often the files in many person nel offices are never opened again when once an applicant has indicated he wants to.work. Why have the files anyway, if they are not going to be reviewed often and regularly in order to let people know you are sincerely interested in giving them work whenever it opens up or a vacancy occurs? Applications should be considered on the basis and in the order in which they were registered. Who knows, may be a dozen paper boys were hired since the lad made his appearance at the age of five.

WAR ON HIGHWAY ACCIDENTS The Governor’s Conference on Law and Order, gathered in Raleigh late last week, was an appropriate forum for Gov. Dan Moore in effect to de clare war on the speeders and drinking drivers of North Carolina’s Highways-, In an nouncing that the State High Patrol is receiving the latest detection equipment the Gov ernor placed traffic law vio lators in the same category as looters, rioters, murder ers and arsonist. Perhaps that judgment sounds too severe to motorists most of whom speed occasion ally and too many of whom drive after drinking - but the Governor justified it with a shocking account of the state’s traffic toll for this year a lone: If the people who have died in traffic accidents in North Carolina ware alive today, it would take 25 of those big cross-country buses to bring them to Raleigh for this meet - ing ...

Sad but true, When a movie actor gets iong In the tooth, he or she goes in to government. When a creative writer finds the wellsprings of his inspiration drying up, he joins the academy and becomes a “'writer-in-residence,’’When a teacher gets bored with the illiteracy of his students, some foundation will coddly and com fort him. Old Generals become corporation presidents. But who takes care of the journalist? Nobody. Let me assure the foks that journalists are a lot worse off than anu movie actor.

Not that I am any better qualified for the Senate, the governor’s mansion or the House, but I promise to let moral fiber take care of Itself.

A British research ex pert, lan Richardson, said the fish sausage is one result of a governmental program aimed at developing new uses for seafoods. safety may come from an as tonishing new electronic de vice. It is called “Vascar” -for "visual average speed compu ter and recorder’ - and it is bad news for speeding driv ers. It is about the size of a cigar box, and from a moving patrol car it accu rately computes the speed of “target” vehicles traveling to any direction and records the speed on a graph. “In fact,” Gov. Moore said, "there are 23 different ways in which the unit can be used to check the speed of suspected law vio lators.’ Vascar is being in stalled in 100 of our State High way Patrol cars. Twenty states are now test ing the device; it already has been used on a large scale in Indiana, where its effective ness has been hard tobelieve. Vascar *s inventor told news men in Raleigh that it has brought 3,500 arrests in In diana, that there have been only two “innocent” pleas and that no cases have been ap pealed. North Carolina has been testing the device for seven months, and before troopers begin using it on routine pa trol they will be trained to special courses by communi ty colleges. Gov. Moore said he wanted every driver to be aware of Vascar and its capa bilities, so there will be a 30-day grace period before arrests are made with the 100 new devices. The reliabili ty of the machine and the legality of the process will be determined In North Car olina courts. In his conference speech, Gov. Moore urged all courts in the state to deal "firm ly and quickly as well as fair ly” with traffic law violators because of the seriousness of driving offenses. He noted that although traffic fines may be sufficient in some cases, “restriction of driving pri vileges is generally far more effective.” The Governor’s ultimate appeal for ti’affic safety was to the motorists themselves. Startling statistics, elabo rate detection machines and tougher sentences all are di rected at the people who drive. Many acc Mentis and traffic deaths are unavoidable, but many others are caused by drivers who speed or drink or simply get careless.

It seems certain that debate will be heated concerning the size of the in crease, the effectiveness of such an increase in alleviating growing budget deficits, inflation ary pressures and the Impact of this course of action on the economy. On these points, there is sharp division of opinion in Congress, on the part of the general public and among members of the press. The President has said that spending during the year, beginning July 1, 1967, can run as high as $143.5 billion. This is some $8.5 billion more than was expected last January. Federal revenues, it is now thought, will fail at least $7 billion below January estimates which in cluded the 6 per cent surcharge on personal and corporate income taxes then proposed. As’ things now stand, it is officially recognized that if no changes are made, the budget deficit could run to $29 billion between now and the fis cal year ending June 30, 1963. The one thing on which there is general agreement is that such a deficit - the biggest since the end of World War II in 1945 - would be critical to the econo Jobs On iosls Os New Definitions The United States is plague with the problem of unemployment, and yet it is possibly the wealthi est nation for its size in the world. The nation is about two-thirds wealthy (not always in health both mentally and physically) and approximately one-third is poor, ranging from destination to ut ter, rat-infested, soul-searing poverty indigency. The wealthy • United States* citizens are whites mostly, while the poor American is generally Negro. The poor America is becoming increas ingly urban, congested in substandard apart ments located in ghettos. As the colored A merlca observes how the larger composite of citizens live -- sometimes in sumptuous wealth - envy and resentment builds up until there are outbreaks of riots, looting, burning, and loss of life occur with increasing intensity in the larg er cities. Negro leaders and white administrative of ficials are agreed that rioting will set back the progress and gains of the Negro. This may be true, but you can’t convince an unskilled and un employed man who Is about to be evicted because he can’t pay the rent. A starving man cannot reason, for his emotions have the upper hand, and the larger America needs to put Itself into the poor Negress’ place. Jesus recommend that we must put ourselves in step with out prospects. American politicians fail to under stand the impact of this counsel, and this is why they keep repeat ing the same mistakes. There is an urgent call for increasing police powers to cope with the unruly elements and put down the so-called senseless rioting. This kind of reasoning takes well with an educated man with a good-paying Job, a full stomach, and ranch-type mansion furnished with television, household appliances of every description, motor boat, beach houses to spend weekends, two and three automobiles, and a handsome bank ac count.
