He wants to compete with ideas. He wants to be a man of good will. What kind of man is he? He’s an American who understands and believes in the Declaration of In¬ dependence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, that’s what kind. Aren’t you glad you are, too? And don’t you wonder why so many of our fellow Americans are trying so hard to destroy the kind of life that has made us the model and the envy of every other people on earth? The question is: What kind of men are they? '• Editorial in Atlanta Times. — 1 , J V, m S5 9. »''hmrooifeurff 00 ttwe/rMr/awec? — *s//rf octtnowS Established 18M $3.61 P«rT«w » Mob Rule In Manchester (N.H.) Union Leader, t July 22, 1964 Having already tried and victed New York Police Thomas E. Gilligan of representatives of the negro mobs of Harlem have sented the timid city with an ultimatum: Arrest on suspicion of murder, of the claim of self defense, face a renewal of violence. over, it would appear that members of the city are more impressed with stantiated charges of “police tality” than with the proven of Negro brutality and which resulted in one death, injured, 18 of the policemen, stores broken into and (nearly all of them owned whites), and untold thousands dollars of property damage. The howling mo-bs want a sacrifice, and it remains to be whether the city’s Democratic ministration will attempt to them by offering them the head Lieutenant Gilligan, who holds citations for meritorious thus destroying the morale of entire police corps and the negro extremists to new violence. It is a mockery of the laugnage to describe the and Monday rioting as a rights” issue. Rather, It was reasoning hatred that fanned the fires of violence hatred of the whites, hatred of the police cluding negro police, the unsung heroes of Monday night’s terror), hatred of negroes who urged a re¬ turn to law and order and sanity. Many of the acts of violence had nothing whatsoever to do with the Thursday incident. Sam Gold¬ stein, the operator of a newspaper stand at. the local 77th Street IRT station, was in no way involved. Yet, the negro hoodlums attacked his newsstand and threw candy and magazines over the platform. The following day, Julian Zalewski, a 57-year-old actor, of 30 W. 87th St., and William Greene, a pharma¬ cist ol 111 DeVoe Avenue, were attacked by bands of negro teen¬ agers in separate incidents within half an hour at the 125th Street and 181st Street stations, respec¬ tively. It is wishful thinking to hope that the passions of the mob can be assuaged by giving them a hu¬ man sacrifice in the form of Lieu¬ tenant Gilligan. Many of the so called leaders of this rabble en¬ courage violence by their every word and action. CORE and NAACP leaders preach hatred of the police and distrust of whites while all the while proposing “non-violence.” Others are more direct: Jesse Gray, the leader of the Harlem rent strike, used the pulpit of Mount Morris Presbyterian Church to call for “100 skilled black revolution¬ aries who are ready to die” to protest “police brutality.” As Com¬ munist Party members sat in the audience, Gray shouted: “There is only one thing that can correct this situation, and that’s guerrilla warfare.” Edward Mills Davis, a Black Nationalist leader, said: “All you black people that have been in the armed services and know anything about guerrilla warfare should come to the aid of our people. If we must die, let us die scientifically.” James Farmer told the group that he “saw a woman who walked up to the police and asked them for assistance in get¬ ting a taxicab so that she might go home. This woman was shot in the grion and is now in Harlem Hospital.” Later, he admitted that he hadn’t actually seen the shoot¬ ing, but had been told about it. Harlem Hospital, meanwhile, said that a woman had been treated for a superficial gunshot wound in the left thigh and had been re¬ leased. Yet, this man is now meeting with and issuing demands on the city administration! We are reminded of Senator Goldwater’s warning in his accep¬ tance speech before the Republican National Convention: Security from domestic violence, no less than from foreign aggression, is the most elementary and funda¬ mental purpose of any government, and a government that cannot ful¬ fill this purpose is one that can¬ not long command the loyalty of its citizens. Histories demonstrate that nothing prepares the way Berating the South Is Popular Pastime By LUKE GREENE Commentators and editoralists including some who normally try to look the other way when they don’t want to face reality, are now talking about the “white back¬ lash” throughout the country. Even Chet Huntley, that vaunted “voice of authority", is sputtering into his microphone that such a backlash really does exist. And why shouldn’t it, consider¬ ing all that has gone on in recent weeks? Race! riots that convert city streets into battlegrounds where men and women are killed and in¬ jured — riots that are led and dominated by known Communists — these are not what you would call tranquilizers for a weary people who are fed up with being pushed around by militant organiz¬ ations. Some of these organizations remind one of “fire bugs” touch¬ ing off conflagrations and waiting around to see the flames. And there’s no balm for troubled hearts in articles like that of a transplanted Georgian by the name of George B. Leonard, who writes under the title of senior editor in Look Magazine. Most of the time I think articles of this type are better ignored, since they sound like the work of propagandists more interested in drawing attention to themselves. But the fact that this possibly will be read by millions of people whether I mention it or not prom¬ pts me to class it as an excellent example of what is being done to fan the flames of racial prejudice by too many national publications. The title of the Leonard article is “A Southerner Appeals to the North: Don’t Make Our Mistake!” But the view he takes is hardly that of a Southerner, by any stretch. His appeal, of course, is to other sections of the country which he fears may now be taking a more sympathetic view of the South because of their own trou bles. In fact, he says he is “dismayed to observe among my Yankee ac¬ quaintances the gradual shrinking away from reality that goes along with racial prejudice” and then he adds: “I do not want them to suffer the affliction that many of us Southerners have spent lifetimes escaping.” Except that I don’t think Mr. Leonard has quite escaped it, de¬ spite his tortured conviction that he has. He has a lot to say about “red necks”. But among his more start¬ ling statements is this: “Almot every white Southerner starts out as an emotional, intel¬ lectual, visual, aesthetic cripple. And then he says that, “White Southerners need love perhaps more than anything else,” and sug¬ gests that their warm hospitality is an effort to compensate for this lack. My opinion is that perhaps the author himself is more in need of love than the people he pities, be¬ cause his article seems to convey a yearning to return to the land he knew as a boy. Toward the end he lapses into fond recollections of familiar sights and sounds, even though he gives them racial over¬ tones. And considering the recent negro demonstrations in Monroe, the tim¬ ing of the article Is almost un¬ canny, because a great deal of it has to do with the sentimental journey back to Monroe where he lived for several summers in his childhood. Is it possible that somehow, through the workings of the Estab¬ lishment, the two developments were planned to coincide? — Atlanta Times. ■% tyranny more than the failure of public officials to keep the streets safe from bullies and marauders,”
