The Charter Government
Committee —a non-partisan
group of business and commun
ity leaders—organized in 1949 to
promote the strong City Man
ager-Council form of govern
ment. Candidates sponsored by
the committee have won every
Council seat at each municipal
election since 1949. This year’s
ticket has pledged to continue
the strong Council-Manager plan
of government. For many years
Phoenix experienced weak man
agement during which time the
Manager had no clear-cut au
thority and the Council mem
bers constantly dabbled in ad
ministrative affairs. The City
charter was amended in 1948 to
effect a separation between the
duties of the Manager and the
legislative and policy - making
funtions of the Council. The
amendment required that a
trained Manager be employed.
Ray W. Wilson, then Assistant
to the City Manager in Kansas
City, was "appointed on January
3, 1950, and has held the posi
tion since widen four Charter
Councils.

. Young Demos Resolve
On Segregation
The strongest political state
ment that has been propounded
so far has come from the young
men and women of the YOUNG
DEMOCRATIC CLUBS OF
>MERICA, generally known as
t-he “Young Democrats,” in their
recent national convention* at
Reno, Nevada. Under the title:
COMPLIANCE WITH THE SU
PREME COURT DECISION ON
SEGREGATION IN THE PUB
LIC SCHOOLS, the YD’s passed
the* following
Whereas, it has been three
years since the Supreme Court
of the United States handed
down a decision declaring seg
regation in the public schools
of America, to be unconstitu
tional, and Whereas, a majority
of public school authorities, pub
lic officials, individuals and or
ganizations have developed or
derly methods for complying
with the Supreme Court deci
sion in contrast to the so called
“massive r ” opposition of some
cities and states, led by the
White Citizens Councils, the Ku
Klux Klan and other reaction
ary groups in all areas of these
United States; NOW THERE
FORE BE IT RESOLVED, That
the Young Democratic Cluhs of
America commend, these public
school authorities, public offi
cials, individuals, and organiza
tions who have devised, aided
and supported these methods
for compliance with hte deci
sion of the Supreme Court de
claring school segregation un
constitutional; and BE IT
FURTHER RESOLVED that the
Young Democratic Clubs of
America recommend that those
public school authorities, pub
lic officials, individuals and or
ganizations who, in defiance of
the Supreme Court, have ob
structured, circumvented and at
tempted to defeat the orderly

At least, nobody has to worry about protectin'
real estate titles anymore. Maybe they do on

compliance with that decision
forthwith, cease and refrain
from these tactics immediately
and follow the outstanding ex
ample set by those law abiding
public school authorities, public
officials, individuals, and orga
nizations who have complied
with the Supreme Court deci
sion. BE IT FURTHER RESOLV
ED, that in the event of such
unlawful obstruction, the Young
Democratic Clubs of America
approve federal intervention as
a necessary means of effectuat
ing the laws of the land. The
YD’s of Phoenix reported that
as a delegation they voted for
all of resolution that passed and
against all of those that failed,
to pass. Ten young people from
Arizona made up the delegation,
representing the state.
