Civil Rights A Political Football
By CHARLES M. TUCKER, JR.
Millions of words have and are beinjr written about
the controversial civil-rights bill that is now before the
Senate of the United States. This bill long promised hy
the President and liberal Democrat now seems to be
bogged down in the muck of compromise and behind
the scenes bargaining.
To the millions of Negroes in our country these poly
genous arguments of the southerners hold familiar ring.
Beginning with his original defrachisement under slave
status, he has worn the shackles of “white primaries”
and “grand-daddy clauses” to mention only a few of
the legal barriers.
•
Now. in a modern and ever changing world where our
country has emerged as a world power and leader, our
tan hued brother mired in the abysmal rot of southern
bias is asked “how many bubbles in a bar of soap?"
and similar idiotic questions to qualify for his constitu
tional right to vote
•
We now have what appears to be a full scale legis
lative battle on civil rights. With those Democrats and
Republicaians alike who have large Negro voting blocks
in Northern, some Midwestern and Coastal states saying
with loud cries and shedding great tears of righteous
ness, “OH LISTEN THOU BLACK BROTHER, 1 AND
MY PARTY ARE FIGHTING FOR YOUR RIGHTS, LIS
TEN AND DO NOT FORGET THIS AT ELECTION
TIME*'
•
Many times before this is as far as our Civil-Rights
Bill has gone. With Ike’s election promises and this Bill
being “his” Bill he has remained strangely silent on
urging its passage and has indicated that “he has not
had time to go into it throughly”. The real maneuvering
behind “tne Hells Canyon Bill passage will soon come to
past as liberal senators vote with Southerns on rights
amendments in repayment to the southern vote for Hells
Canyon. (The Hell* Canyon Bill passed the Senate. It
was a bill dealing with a n.lilti-million dollar erection
of a Federal power project and was the pet project of
many of the so called liberal senators. The bill could
not pass without southern support. Much speculation
has been offered as to the deals certain senators made
with each other in the trading of votes. Its the
of “you help me this time and I’ll help vou next”).
•
So, to both sides, the rights football is kicked. With
America’s Negro population sitting in the blistering
bleachers of defrachisement and race bias with all eyes
on the ball, hoping that this time their side will score
the touchdown.

reports
• • • the latest news from Washington
of special interest to Michigan . • .
MAYFLOWER IT. famous replica of the ship which
brought the Pilgrims to Plymouth Rock, may sail the
St. Lawrence Seaway, calling at Michigan ports. Now
being discussed in London is my invitation to bring t. e
historic vessel into Lake waters.
When 1 presented the idea to Captain Alan Yilliors.
world-filmed skipper who sailed the Mayflower across
tht Atlantic, and Mr. Warwick Charlton, founder of the
project, both were » nthusiastic. ‘Certainly the magni
ficent gesture of fritmbhi pwhich you have extended
in tre people of th s nation,” my invitation reads,
"should in* completed by bringing the aMy flower 11 in
to the industrial and spiritual heartland of America.’
Such a voyage would loom
world attention on the Seaway
and the new Mackinac Bridge.
As the Mayllower II anchored
at Detroit. Port Huron. Saginaw
Pay. Muskegon Benton Harbor
and other ports she would he a
spectacular tourist attraction all
the way. Many of her original
crew have dispersed and I hope
that an experienced Great Lakes
crew with a complement ot
Michigan Sea Scouts, would be
recruited to man her.
It's possible, but no! probable,
that plans could be worked out
before the Seaway ices over.
More likely is an early spring
voyages. Right now Mayflower
II is moored in New York Har
bor. attracting thousands of
tourists, as she awaits formal
transfer to Plymouth cn Thanks
giving. Michigan tourist officials
already are visualizing a series
of pageants to greet the fam
ous ship as she sails into our
waters.
I expect to be in touch with
Secretary of State Dulles <n
further plans.
CIVIL RIGHTS holds the Sen
ate spotlight. Early and lute,
pros keep a quorum on the flooi
to prevent cons fiom sidetrack
ing the bill. We have moved
cots into our offices to catch
1 will give thanks to the
Lord with my whole heart.—
(Psalm 9,1.)
Thanking God for His abun
dant, bountiful blessings is
not a matter of a formal few
moments or even of hours. It
is thanking Him every mo
ment that we breathe, by
every thought and net and
word it is by living each mo
ment as we know in our hearts
He wunts us to live: filled
with consciousness of His
presence within us. That is
thanking Him with a whole
heart.

forty winks between th Inn-;
hours of work. Lari week 1
reived notice that unles. Con
gress enacts an adequate civil
lights bill I will introduce le
irlation exempting in m tl
draft any man of voting age
who is pieveimd from exercis
ing hi? right to vote.
I see no decency and justice*
in asking a man to die for a
country where he is not per
mitted to avail himself rs the
simple demccraiic privi eges of
the bill of rights. I fold lne
Senate that if we do rot ac
cept this honest, straightforward
obligation, we shall have repu
diated everything America
elands for in the eyes of a
world beleaguered by hunger
and oppression. Wo shall have
betrayed those Americans of
dark skin who pay taxes to sup
port this Government end who
gave their lives only a decede
ago for these self same princi
ples.
Last week, with one foot on
the plane to speak at the Cap.'c
Centennial Celebration. I report
ed here on my proposed re*
maiks. At the last minum. a
long Saturday Senate session
forced me to cancel the speech
idler the newsletter was in the
mail. I suppose that won’t be
tiie first Mich incident during
the civil rights talkathon.
JIMMY DURANTE put his
nose in the Capitol door the
other day to eaten a portion of
the lebiite. Otlv't prominent Am
ericans crowd the galleries rub
bing elbows with obscure folk.,
children, tourists and vi itors
from foreign lands, all rnptly
listening to the hisloric civil
rights discussions. Most of them
have stood in long and patient
line., waiting for gallery seals.
The display of public interest
in the issue we are resolvin •
here is impressive.
MY TWO YEAR FIGHT to
handcuff "onion operators’* is
almost won. The Potter bill,
rwkino it illegal 4 o speculate in
onion futures, has been okayed
by agriculture subcommittees
of both Hcuse and Senate. M ch*

in a price squeeze brought on
by manipulators who gamb’e

I use the word edcisedly. Pass

God has spoken through
the prophets of old, and in
all ages lie has given spirit

and know, even through the
pathway may seem dark and
dismal. Ihe h irmony of Soul
reigns supreme.
And when there is seeming
unrest in human affairs, and
one group is denying another
group their human rights
which the law already pro

l.et thoughts of goodness
instead of bitterness, pass
through consciousness, and
thus proclaiming the sound
ness of the one Mind, which
wis in Christ Jesus, rise in
Spirit and just do not be
human, but spiritual.
Whenever you can. try to
assure yourself that. “Man is
spiritual, not material.” And
mortal, carnal thoughts can
not hold you in anv human
bondage, when you follow the
trim example, and ding to
God through Christ Jesus.
There is a great power
working in the affairs of men
and nations, to make them
face each other, and work out
the so-called problems of life.
And no matter what wrong
thinking may sav, or try to
do. God’s power holds domin

UNEMPLOYMENT CAUSES
The first move I made w; s
to ask the Michigan Employ
ee nt Securii Commission to
make a fast survey to deL-nitinc
fiom what sources tins unem
ployment is coining.
We know aliejdy that we are
down about 50,000 industrial
jobs since last November, and
we know that almost 30 000
el those jobs are in the auto
mobile plants and their supply
plan s. eW know also that on
May 15. we had tin highest non
industrial employment for any
comparable period 1
What we C*;.'. knew what
a 1 that means. I asked MESC
to try to tell us ho wmuch un
employment c?n b"* traced to
automation end similar lab^r
the harmony of Spirit. And
now is the time, while the
norms, floods and crashes
ore only the beginning of the
.‘linking oi the land, and the
earth.
God’s kingdom being al
ready established for the en
joyment of all mankind mt»«t
be recognized, and rendered
pure in the consciousness of
men. to make room for anew
heaven of harmony.

Kev to the Scriptures by Mrs.

"The muddv river bed must

the stream. In moral chem
icalization, when the symp

aggravated, we may think in

effects onlv that Truth m*v

and all power to sin."—
