Price Route 6 Winston-Salem, North Carolina Dear Mrs. Price: I received this morning your letter of July 22, and I was considerably more disturbed by it than by the state of our nation! You charge that increased racial tensions, fiscal irresponsibility, a Communist Cuba and lost of states’ rights are the accomplishments of the liberal New Frontier. May I point out that it is those who hate who build racial tensions in any area, whether it it is Decatur, Ind., or Winston-Salem, N. C. May I point out that those who are moving by Christian love and understanding are perfectly willing to do unto others that which they wish done unto them, and give others the rights which we demand for ourselves — nothing more or less. As for fiscal irresponsibility, it is the Federal government’s responsibility to keep a strong currency, full employment, and to fight inflation. If anything, the government has moved too slowly in making a $lO billion tax cut, with no cut in expenditures, to move our economy foreward, and to provide a larger tax base on which to improve our tax position. May I suggest that you read “A Primer on Government Spending”, a Vintage Book published by Rendom House, New York, N. Y., for $1.45, and written by Robert L. Heilbroner and Peter L. Bernstein. This may help you get a better understanding of fiscal responsibility and irresponsibility. As for “Communist Cuba” being the accomplishment of the “liberal New Frontier, may I point *. out that Fidel Castro took over Cuba early in 1959; that on March 4, 1959 the Cuban Telephone Co., U.S. owned, was taken over; That May 17, 1959, all farm land owned by our sugar and other agricultural companies was confiscated, that on October 26, 1959, confiscatory taxes on the U.S.owned nickel plant was instituted, that May 17, 1960 the U.S. oil companies were ordered to buy Soviet petroleum or be siezed, and were later seized; on July 6, 1960 the Cuban government passed a law that authorized the nationalization of all U.S.-owned property ; on September 17, 1960, three American-owned hanks were nationalized; all this four months before the New Frontier came into office. In other words, there was nothing left to be expropriated by the time JFK came into office, nothing for him to act on — the previous Republican administration had failed to act, until breaking relations with Cuba on Jan. 4, 1961, just 16 days before Kennedy took office. Concerning loss of states’ rights, the states have lost those rights which they have failed to exercise. The purpose of states’ rights was to protect the people not the non-exsistent entity abstraction of the “state”. When states fail to act to protect the people, and pro- i vide the services necessary for modern life, then the Federal government has no choice but to act on behalf of the people of the nation. Federal roads were.-bui.lt to link our great country with a uniform system, at a time when many rural states could not afford great highways; Federal labor standards have made possible our great factories and high standards of living today; Federal housing projects and slum clearance projects help where local apathy and lack of tax base cannot — Federal income tax money, based on ability to pay, is thus spread over our entire country, not just in rich centers, a much fairer base than local property tax, or sales tax, or use taxes. May I point out that the disturbing things in your letter are not the items which bother you, but the fact that a great many people, like yourself, understand the modern world so poorly that you are deeply disturbed over non-existant or grossly misrepresented things? No true liberals “have tried to make a dirty word of patriotism”, but patriotism is hardly standing for a 1776 economy, with 1776 slave laws, labor laws, mud roads, candles, etc.; true patriotism is standing for the individual rights and freedom of the individual to join together as he pleases to form free associations to better himself. ————————— 1 am very happy that people like yourself are declaring yourselves out of the Democratic party, and that you intend to nominate and follow Sen. Barry Goldwater on the Republican ticket in the 1964 campaign. I think you are wisely chosing _ the one who most fits your needs and personality, but I can hardly agree that his or your ideas, - would be good for our country! I feel that they are based on misunderstanding, and a desire to return to a romantic past that never existed as you picture it. I am sadly afraid that you would not have been with the “liberals” of 1776 — Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Thomas Paine, etc. — but you would then have been living 200 years further in the past, and would have sided , with the pro-British elements! . Sincerely, « f - The Editor (See letter in “People’s Voice”)

No articles will be published without signature of the author. O - O Dear Editor: I am deeply disturbed by the state of our nation today. As an individual, I am writing to as many newspaper editors as possible in an effort to have them 1 publish my views which are as follows: Increased racial tensions, fiscal irresponsibility, a Communist Cuba, loss of states’ rights—these are the accomplishments bf the liberal New Frontier. I am sick of this kind of “progress”, but we will get more of the same by continuing to vote for liberal candidates (example—Kennedy, Rockefeller, Scranton, and Romney) forced on us by the Democratic Party and the liberal minority of the Republican party. We must have a Conservative in the White House in 1964, or face national chaos and confusion. The Democratic Party is so thoroughly indoctrinated in liberalism that we must depend on the Republican party to provide us with an HONEST choice of candidates—not a liberal versus a liberal, but a conservative versus a liberal. I see Barry Goldwater as the ONE man who can fight the New Frontier and win. Apparently I am not alone in that belief. I understand that over sixty thousand (60.000) petitions are being circulated by “Citizens for Goldwater”, Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, urging the Republican convention to nominate the Senator for President. This group also provides all kinds of material and helps for organizing local Goldwater groups. I have already sent in my request, and it occurred io me that many of your readers might wish to do so, too. My conscience simply will not let me sit by and watch my beloved country being torn to shreds by men who have tried to make a dirty word of patriotism and ab tempted to reduce the meaning of our Constitution to absolutely nothing. I declare myself here and now as a Southern Democrat for Senator Barry Goldwater, and I intend to see him through to victory. Thank you for publishing my letter. Yours truly, Mrs. M. G.

Urban Nej Far Short By HARRY FERGUSON United Press International The urban Negro in the United States has made limited gains toward equality this year but still is far short of his goal. A survey by United Press International of the nation’s 25 largest cities shows that it is improbable, if not impossible, that 1963 will be the year of decision in the Negro fight for absolute equality. The tempo of Negro demonstrations in the first half of 1963 misled many persons into believing a major breakthrough had been achieved or was at hand. Between May 1 and July 19 there were demonstrations in 153 cities scattered through 30 states, most of them along the Eastern Seaboard. But when quiet was restored,most of Xhe gains were limited and some of .them were only on paper. It appears 1963 will go down in history as the year in which the Negro plowed and planted the fields of equality. It will take 10 years, perhaps longer, to reap the harvest. Negro leaders are not publicly claiming major victories. The UPI asked the Rev. Martin Luther King of the Southern Christian Leadership, James Farmer of the Congress of Racial Equality -and Roy Wilkins of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to designate the city or town which they felt was dealing with the problem in the best way. All declined to reply, inviting the conclusion that they were dissatisfied with conditions everywhere. 25 City Survey Facts and figures presented here represent conditions in the nation’s 25 biggest cities and may not be valid in terms of all the Negroes in the nation. Here is a breakdown of how the urban Negro stood at the halfway mark of 1963: Housing: No major Negro gains since the UPI conducted a survey a year ago. Everywhere the pattern is the same: Whites prefer not to live' as neighbors with Negroes and if they can afford it they move to the suburbs. Between 1950 and 1960 the white population of Chicago declined by 601,223; the Negro population increased by 320,372. There are many “pepper and salt” neighborhoods where whites and Negroes live together because they oannot afford to do anything else. In Atlanta the Negro population compromising about 40 per cent of the total lives on one-fifth to one-sixth of the residential land. In San Antonio, Tex., there is a development containing 75 houses selling for $22,000 and up. It advertises that it is the only integrated housing development in the nation. So far, no whites have chosen to live there. Public Office: The Negro does fairly well in appointive jobs, but not so good in elective offices.

gro Still Os Goal have no Negroes in elective jobs. The Negro fares best in New I York where he has a president ; of Manhattan Borough, several I city councilmen and a Congressman, Adam Clayton Powell. Public Accommodations: Much progress for tne Negro has been j made in this field. The bus prob- ( lem has almost ceased to exist. There has been a quiet and orderly integration of swimming ( pools, parks and golf courses in most cities. But there has been I no great Negro rush to use such facilities. There has been only a j small and token integration of I barber shops and beauty parlors, but the Negroes seem to prefer J to take their patronage to businesses run by members of their , own race. 3 Hospitals: It is difficult to be ! definitive about how the Negro 3 patient fares because too many * cities have laws against indentify- * ing persons by race or color. The 5 10 denominational hospitals in Minneapolis say patients, doctors r and nurses are completely inte- - grated. In Memphis one of the ‘ three large city hospitals is ’ staffed entirely by Negroes and p treats only Negroes. Job Opportunities: Negroes com- - plain labor unions, especially in - the North, are discriminating r against them. Labor leaders con- - cede there is some truth in it, 1 and President George Meany of i the AFL-CIO told Congress the 1 other day it should pass a strong law to “mop up those areas of discrimination which still persist in our own ranks.” Negro lead--1 ers complained about the Elec--3 tricians’ Union in Philadelphia. f Cleveland and San Diego. Candid 3 labor leaders say that most un--1 ions have long lists of apprentice applications and Negroes are not 1 on them. Other job opportunities vary widely. All major depart- ’ ment stores in Washington have 1 Negro clerks; only one major de--3 partment store in Houston does so. s Jail Treatment: St. Louis, Bos- - ton and Atlanta index prisoners . by color, but no other cities do J so. Negro prisoners are segregatr ed in the jails of Atlanta, New - Orleans, Houston and Cincinnati. 2 Negro leaders voiced few com- - plaints about police departments >■ but did criticize the activities of y individual policemen in some cas- !• r es. n t Churches: The area in which 0 there has been the least trouble. However, there has been no wides spread integration of worshippers . because Negroes prefer to attend t Negrochurches in their own neigh- . borhoods. 1 Public Hiring: Most of the 25 E largest cities operate under Civil Service or fair employment ordi- * nances. There seems to be a tendency to keep the number of Negroes on the public payroll in di- ' rect ratio to the percentage of ® Negroes in the population. There is a heavy percentage of Negroes in such categories as laborers and garbage collectors. All cities reporting agree there are fewer Negroes in the white collar category than in the laborer classification. Professional Opportunities: Integration of the bar and medical associations is complete in 16 cities. The other cities vary. In Dallas the medical society is integrated but the bar association is not. Negroes havc .their own lawyers’ association in Houston. In St. Ixiuis they have their own medical forum. Vocational Schools: In most large cities the Negro is well off. Houston gives vocational training in four of the five Negro high schools. New Orleans has a vocational institution which is integrated, but the private vocational schools are segregated. SmithHughes School in Atlanta has 11 Negro students out of 4,618. Public Schools* In the nine years since . the Supreme Court decision two patterns have developed. One is “segregation by area,” meaning that many schools are predominantly Negro because they are located in Negro neighborhoods. In Washington, 115 public schools have more than 90 per cent Negro pupils. Nineteen have more than 90 per cent white students. The other development is that in the 25 largest eities the percentage of Negro pupils consistently is larger than that of Negro teachers. Colleges: There is almost universal integration, but Negro students usually are heavily in the minority in both North and South. There are only about 200 Negroes in the University of Cincinnati which has 20,500 students. Cleveland reports that John Carroll has 27 Negroes in an enrollment of 1,816. Inability to pay the tuition and lack of scholastic qualifications are the reasons most frequently cited for the low percentage of Negro students. New York Stock Exchange 'Prices MIDDAY PRICES A.

Kennedy Returns [ To Capital Today WASHINGTON (UI’I) — President Kennedy returned to his desk today after a refreshing weekend of sun and sea at Hyannis Port, Mass. The Chief Executive’s fan-jet transport plane landed at nearby Andrews Air Force Base, Md., at 10:09 a.m. EDT after a 47-minute flight from Otis Air Force Base, Mass. Kennedy’s schedule was open, with no formal appointments listed. This usually indicates a pileup of behind-the-scenes staff ’ work, which could range through a variety of current issues including the nuclear test ban treaty, railroad labor negotiations, and ! others. The President and a host of rel- . atives, including his own two children and their 19 Kennedy-sidt cousins, joined Sunday night in . celebrating Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy’s 34th birthday. The partying was a private family affair, i and so were the gifts. Saturday, Kennedy met at his Hyannis Port home with Under Secretary of State W. Averell ■ Harriman, chief U.S. negotiator at the treaty, and with Secretary of ( State Dean Rusk, who will be s flying to Moscow this week for : its formal signing. I Harriman carried a note from ■ Soviet Premier Nikita S_ Khrush- ■ chev to Kennedy. It was repoit- ’ ed to be friendly, but its contents were not revealed, and it was not known whether Kennedy had rei plied. No One Injured In Auto-Buggy Crash ’ There were no injuries in an ac- , cident involving a buggy and an , automobile at 8:50 Sunday evening on the Tile Mill road two-tenths of a mile south of Monroe. The buggy, driven by Samuel Wickey of near Monroe, was struck from be- ! hind by a car driven by Roger D. 1 Hawkins of Monroe. Hawkins said that he did not see the buggy, ■ which was‘equipped with lanterns, until it was too late to avoid striking it. The impact knocked the left rear , wheel off the buggy, causing about $35 damage. Damage to the front bumper, grill and left front fender , of Hawkins car was. estimated at ; $l5O. Hawkins had been traveling > about 50 miles per hour just bemore the accident occurred. No charges were made. Sheriff’s • deputies investigated the accident.
