Sen. Javits Rips "White
Backlash" on Civil Rights
By ADOLPH i. SLAUGHTER
WASHINGTON—The 10-called "whit* backlash" on civil
right* is jut aa reprehensible as the opposition of a southern
•egregationiit, declared New York Senator Jacob K. Javits, last
veek, in a speech at the Anti-Defamation league dinner in the
Imericana hotel in Mew York.
Javits, in a ringing denunciation of the importance riven
» the vote by Wisconsin to Alabama's Oov. George Walls
•M:
[lace,
"It la time to tell those of the
Worth who it ill cling to theoriea of
vhite auittriority that they are just
ta wrong as those in the South who
ding to practices of segregation."
"It is time to remind ethnic groups
n the North that they once faced the
prohlema faring the Negroea; and
lhat the lesson they have learned—
that what happens to one minority
% likely to happen to all roioorities-
• as true today as it wns then.
"It in time to alert white citizens
4 the North against demagogue* and
egregntionista who would use false
fcnrs and raise panicky alnrmH to
*ck to eatabliah • tfulf between white
ind Negro communities."
The New York aenntor scored the
mportanee given to Wallace's cap-
uring 25 per cent of the Wisconsin
'ote In the primary held in that Htate
wro weeks ago, at the expense of prnis-
ng the 75 per cent of the vote given
» candidntea who support the civil
*ights bill currently being debated in
•Jie Hennte.
He said that America la at a atage
ind time which calls for responsible
leadership— a leadership which will re-
ject the extreinea of both the far right
ind the far left.
Without naming the Dlack Muslims,
fee scorned those Americans who would
seek a acparato state, and others
who he said seek personal power and
the glory rather thun meaningful prog-
ress.
The senator believed It to be a
miracle "that there have been so few
irresponsible Negro leaders." lie ex-
claimed that the discipline of the (civ-
il rights) movement, and Ita order
•nd dignity, "have been a signal
achievement for the American Negro."
The nation n*ust be conscioua of
what it is trying to achieve in the
field of race relations, he said.
"We muat aearch our conseiencea
for positive anawera to such questions
aa: Will wt welcome Negroes as our
neighbors in the city or auburba; or
for that matter aa purchasers of co-
operative apartiucnta on New York's
Park avenee.
"How nttajr of as will insiat on
■ending our children to integrated
eehoola? How many will Ignore color
In our businesa relations and guard
with seal the concept of equal juatlce
Mart the law?"
He warned that the great obsta-
cle to furthering our foreign policy
objectives ia our domestic civil rights
struggle.
"The people who live In Africa
Asia, the Middle Biflt and Latin
\merica—whose skina are yellow,
rown or black—made up two-thirds
of the world's population.
"These are the people who are try-
ing to decide between democracy or
communism or other forma of dicta-
torship, between freedom or the po-
lice state, between the United States
and the Soviet Union.
"In their hands lies the decisive

power to determine the future course
of the world, and they are now in
the process of making up their minds.
"They are looking at us, at the
way we get along with Americans
whose akina are not white, and wheth-
er our Constitution applies fully to
them aa well.
"We would be very blind indeed
if we do not begin to understand whnt
this civil rights struggle meana to our
leadership of the Free World for
pence," he maintained.

Hammy atarted out thia way. He
noted that aomeone gave him the

plained whether thia part wita planned
or not, but Davia exploited it to hia
own advantage and the delimit of the
crowd.
When nobody responded to Snminy'a
call, he was handed another envelope
and immediately quipped:
"They handed me the wrong en-
velope. Wait til the NAACl* hears

with laughter.

»ut he had n "place" in which he must
remain in Miami, made it impossiidc
for young Poitier to adjust. So aa
soon aa he could save enough for

Hungry and broke, he at first did

Demonstrations in
Frisco Against
GM, 'Only Sample'
By the Associated Negro Press
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—The recent
San Francisco demonstrations in
which 220 persons were arrested is
only a sample of a gigani c national
anti-discrimination protest planned
against General Motors corporation,
and other auto firms, the NAACP an-
nounced at a Mid-west leadership con-
ference here.
Among those arrested in the Fris-
co protest, which has since spread to
Ford and Chrysler auto dealers, were
white movie actor Sterling Hayden
and the Rev. Robert Cromey, execu-
tive assistant to Kpiscopal Bishop
James Pike of California. The 22(1
persona were arrested after they
xtaged a massive sit-in in GM dealer
headquarters.
According to Herbert Hill of New
York, who is the NAAOP's labor sec-
retary, the association will launch
the nationnl drive on May 4. It will
include at least ft) cities. Hill aaid
that while the NAACP picked GM aa
the first target, other multi-plants
were also l*ing considered in the drive
for greater employment opportunities
for Negroe*. However, he did not men-
tion th«||U<<-r firms by name.
Hill Hrusod GM of largely re-
st rictingjK"groes to non-skilled jobs.
"Walk 'frito any OM plant," he
said, "aftJ you will find Negroes in
the foundry and forge, In the least de-
sirable and lowest-paying jobs, with
little opportunity to get into a skill -d
craft.'
General Motors has denied the
charge. IV company issued a state-
ment claiming that it "has never
been found in violation of any munici-
pal, state, or other local unit of gov-
ernment^ fair employment practice
code or itufute," and that it was an
early signer of the President's program
for pr«#r*tinder the administra-
tion's Kquil Kmployment Opportuni-
ties Comni ttee.
The con • any also argues that non-
white emp'"\mcnt rose 13.2 per cent
Inst year while over all employment
went up 4 1 per Cent.
However Inside* accusing GM of de
facto segn nl'mii in its workers align-
ment, the VAAOP also charged the
company with violating the anti-dis-
crimination clauses of the "multi-
million-dollar government contracts it
holds."
At the same time. Dr. Thomas Bur-
bridge, president of the NAACP chap-
ter in Han Francisco, acknowledged
that bis group is part of the national
protest#alth< :gh it had already start-
ed ita own protest againat GM. He
made it clear, ho\ e\er, that the chap-
ter waa not acting on its own in
initiating the protect, but had checked
it out with the national office.

aquad cara to break up.

ped, two policemen were injured and
11 teen brawlers were arrested on
