FORUM BECOMES
A FARCE
The third biennial ‘Meet Your
Candidate Forum’ sponsored by
the Urban League Guild at East
lake Park, Oct. 30 was not what
was intended by the program
committee.
Publicized -as a community
meeting to present the views of
leading local and national can
didates of both parties it turned
into an evening of insults and bad
manners.
Forum rules were ignored or
unknown. Personal axes were
taken out to be ground and Sen
ator Barry Goldwater bore the
brunt of rash statements from
some hostile members of the
audience.
Higher Postage Rates
Accustomed yet to the new
4-cent letter rate? Postmaster
General Arthur E. Summerfield
already is laying plans to ask
Congress again next year to boost
it to 5 cents. He’s preparing

employees’ pay boosts are using
up most of the increased revenues
leaving the Post Office still in
the red.

No one thought Dr. Louise
Wensel could win the Senate seat
for District 8 Virginia, but she
campaigned for integration and
received many votes. Her back

are not happy with closed schools
and massive resistance.

through the Nov. 4th balloting as
the favorite son of District 8.
He will begin this next year
Congress Lags On Civil Rights
MADISON, Wis. Clarence Mit
chell, Washington Director of the
NAACP, said Congress has made
progress in civil rights - ‘but
not enough.'
Mitchell told a Wisconsin meet
ing of the NAACP that it was
not enough that Congress had
passed a bill to protect the right
to vote.
He said they must also pass
legislation to protect against dis
crimination in employment, pro

Committeeman
Edward Banks, publisher and
editor of the Arizona Tribune is
a precinct committeeman of the
Julian District. An elected of

he rebelled against the control
of the party by outside and rad

A high ranking party member
stated the need for a complete
revision of the county and state
organizations. Several life long
Democrats have openly expres
sed their disgust with COPE’s
infiltration and the subsequent
rejection of the voters. One
man said the party suffered from
the caliber of leaders who have
been allowed to take over party
reins.
