What's Right Is
Still Profitable
EUGENE PATTERSON
Grave problems are coming if
Atlanta hems up its growing Negro
population in the central city and
turns itself into a predominantly
Negro electorate. That fact has
been pointed out by Opi e Shelton
of the Chamber of Commerce, by
this newspaper, and by others. But
it is one of those things that gets
misunderstood when you say it.
borne angry Negroes and glee¬
ful segregationists think you are
insulting negroes. Keepers of the
status quo think you’re rocking
the boat.
And you have to pat down so
much ruffled fur in explaining
your point — the dual need to en¬
large the city limits and to dis¬
perse negro housing opportunities
— that the great progressive ma
jority doesn’t quite see what you’re
getting at.
Perhaps Whitney Young Jr. has
better credentials to state the fact.
Formerly of Atlanta, he now is one
of the top half-dozen negro lead¬
ers in America as executive direc¬
tor of the National Urban League.
The downtown negro ghetto is
a problem businessmen ought to
realize they’d better deal with in
America’s “sleeping cities,” he
says. Why?
“Responsible businessmen can ill
afford to permit our urban areas
to be governed politically by socio¬
economic groups who are most
susceptible to machine-controlled
appeals of demagogues.”
Second: “If the affluent and most
influential elements of a communi¬
ty depart for the suburbs, will not
the central cities find themselves
unable to support vital municipal
services?”
If the tax base and the politi¬
cal balance of a city erode, that
and all its payrolls on which
suburbs suckle will obviously
dry up. How does Mr. Young think
businessmen should meet the

action to help secure decent
accommodations for the

“We muxt not permit the real

they can afford.”

he says.
Only a city’s power structure,
in its own economic self
can break that hold, Mr.
thinks. And he believes the
survival of many cities
on that.
It isn’t enough for a city to re¬
the negro for living, or to
him up out of sight in high
downtown slums, and to tell

Close Cannery and
Potato Curing House
The White County Board of Edu¬
cation voted at its regular meeting
on June 2 to close the Cleveland
and Nacoochee Vocational Agricul¬
ture Food Processing Plants and
the Cleveland Sweet Potato Curing
and Storage House.
The two canning plants have
been in operation each year since
they were started back in the
1930’s. Citizens of White County
have received instruction and help
in the canning of hundreds of
thousands of high quality food
products during these years. All
this was done with little or no
cost to the taxpayers of White
County,
During the past season, which
ran from July 5 to September 19,
there were 20,262 cans of vege¬
tables, fruits, and meats processed
by 480 people. In addition to this,
several hundred pounds of food
was prepared for freezing.
The sweet potato curing and
storage house was built during
World War II and has been used to
cure and store thousands of bushels
of disease free sweet potatoes.
During thi past season, 109
families cured and stored 748
bushels of potatoes.
Russell's Future?
A public relations firm in Wash¬
ington has been making inquiries
“on behalf of a client” about Sen.
Richard B. Russell’s future. “Is he
going to resign to accept some
other job with President Johnson?”
if one of the questions being asked.
Sen. Russell says number two
"jobs” mentioned are secretary of
defense and Supreme Court justice.
The senator says he wouldn’t take
either — or both.
“I’m not interested even if they
offered to let me be on the court
during the day and secretary at
night,” he says.
— Atlanta Journal.
Sen. Russell Has
Attained Stature
The Editors: Please let me ex¬
press my hearty approval of yo-ur
editorial May 29, “Arsenal of the
World,” and particularly your state¬
ment, “we still have our senior
senator and when you start figuring
what he’s worth in dollars and
cents alone to the old place, he
looks mighty impressive.”
He looks mighty impressive in
other respects, too. Like our form¬
er senior senator he has attained
the stature of statesman and not
mere politician. He is not willing
to sell our society, culture and
system of government, imperfect
though they be, for a mess of
equalitarian pottage.

Landrum Invited
Congressman Landrum was in
Georgia part of last week, but he
came back to Washington Friday,
stayed a few hours, then returned
to Gorgia.
Reason for the quick trip was
an invitation to the White House.
He and Mrs. Landrum attended
President Johnson’s luncheon for
the Shah of Iran.
— Atlanta Journal.
Governor Cited
Bob Jones University has pre¬
sented an honorary degree to Gov.
George Wallace of Alabama.
The citation read, in part: “Men
who have fought for truth and
righteousness have always been
slandered, maligned and misrepre¬
sented. The American press in its
attacks upon Gov. Wallace has
demonstrated that is no longer free,
American or honest. But you, Mr.
Governor, have demonstrated . ..
that there is still in America love
of freedom, hard common sense and
at least some hope for the preser¬
vation of our constitutional liber
ties.’ — Editorial in Atlanta
