THE INDIANAPOLIS RECORDER

PAGE 1-B

WE ASK YOU

TO PAUSE... and reflect for a moment

That isn't easy, for all of us are caught in the passion and fire of the national political drama. And Marion County is the focus of the whirlwind. We would remind you that when the glamorous national political battle has moved to another stage, we must carry on with our chores. That is why friends of Andy Jacobs have organized to direct your attention to our most important Marion County political business. While Andy is technically the Congressman from Center, Warren, and Lawrence townships, he is really the Congressman in practice from Marion County. Andy is seeking the nomination for a third term in the Congress. He has opposition in his party for that nomination.

CONGRESSMAN ANDY JACOBS Andy Jacobs comes from a family dedicated to good government. He brings to politics experience, integrity, intelligence, a sense of fair play, and good humor. He has a deep commitment to education. His sympathy for the underprivileged and his legislative labor on their behalf is heavily on the record. He has a deep sense of the meaning of order. He knows that in the absence of order, freedom for al I is lost. His four years in the house have taught him the legislative process. He has built strong political friends in Washington. This assists him in the discharge of his duties. Andy has a good record, and we want to stand with him on that record. We urge you to vote for Congressman Andy Jacobs for Congress on May 7.

Voice From The Gallery by ANDREW W. RAMSEY An open letter to Negro voters and non-voters My Fellow Americans: Perhaps I should address you as soul brothers and sisters and perhaps in the title of this piece I should have employed the term Black instead of Negro. But really I do not think that it makes too much difference provided the use of any of the terms is not accompanied by a sense of self hatred. What I really wanted to convey to you is the importance of the primary elections and of the School Board election which will take place locally next Tuesday. It may seem that I am writing in favor of my candidacy for the office of State Representative on the Democratic ticket, But, while L should appreciate your vote, that is not the central purpose of this article. What is really important is that Negroes, non-whites, blacks, soul folk or whatever you might wish to be called go to the polls in numbers and vote not only for the candidates of your choice in the primary of the party of your choice and what is more important vote for the candidates for the School Board. For Democrats there will be the temptation to vote for one of the three Presidential candi- - dates and some of the other political offices first and then either ignore or vote unthinkingly for the school candidates. The type of education which the children of Indianapolis receive for the next three years is more important than the choice of presidential candidate. And the election of members of the state legislature and of a representative in Congress is also more important than a vote for either Mr. Kennedy, Gov. Branigin, Mr. McCarthy or Mr. Nixon. Local officials like Juvenile Court Judge, County Commissioners, and Coroner are also of more importance to theHoosier voter than is the preference for a contender for the highest office in the land. The party conventions will pick a candidate for that office regardless of the outcome of the Indiana Primary. The urgency of the vote for the members of the next School Board become greater in view of the fact that the U.S. Department of Justice finds it necessary to mandate the Indianapolis Public Schools to integrate 14 years after the 1954 Supreme Court Decision in Brown V. the Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, or face a suit in Federal Court . That fact alone shows that a house cleaning is necessary if the Indianapolis schools are to deliver to all children the quality education needed in the years ahead. And it is even tragic to think that the president of the Board of School Commissioners professes to believe that all is well as far as integration of the Indianapolis School is concerned. What is at £take in this election is not what individuals are qualified to handle the complex problem of running the school city but rather a philosophy which separates the two groups which are fielding candidates for this election. For 40 years the candidates of the Citizens School Committee have operated the Indianapolis Schools with the end result being a growing incidence of the fact Non-Partisans for Better Schools is a relatively new group organized to wrest from the Citizens group the stranglehold which it has had on the schools for four decades. Both slates hav e well qualified individuals on them, but the candidates are each pledged to act in accordance with the philosophy of the groups with wjiich segregation and segregation of school employees by race. And that has brought action for the Federal Government. Both parties have an excellent choice of Negro candidates for the House of Representatives. The Republicans have Atty. Harriet Conn, Ray Crowe and they are identified. And both slates have two Negroes running and making a part of a team. All four Negro candidates have excellent backgrounds, but to vote for all four would be to mix philosophies. Choice Edwards, all slated. Among the D em ocr at s Mason Bryant and Andrew Ramsey are slated, but there are several qualified candidates who failed to get the nod. For the State Senate only Patrick Chavis, a Democrat, is slated while there are two unslated Negro Democrats running for this office. Atty. Theodore Wilson is seeking the nomination on the Democratic ticket for Judge of Juvenile Court. These candidates are in need of your support at the polls.
