Two Parties,
But No ‘System’
NORTHAMPTON, Mass. — Smith College
students, struggling to understand the South,
ask the ancient question: “‘When will you have
two parties?” To say the question is relative, which it is, or
to propose a general answer, which one cannot, is unsatisfactory
to them.
They want at least a guess as to when the South is going to
organize itself politically like everybody else. The answer may
even be never. But if a Southerner were required to risk a
generalization, perhaps the most sensible way of getting at it
would be this:
Southern Republicans will be wise to offer an alternative: they
apparently cannot win a mere me-too campaign against the
Southern Democrats.
Winthrop Rockefeller moved to the left of a conservative
Democrat and won Arkansas in 1966.
Claude Kirk went to the right of a liberal Democrat and
won Florida.
Conservative Republicans tried to fight a me-too campaign
.against conservative Democrats in Mississippi, Alabama and Geor-
gia, and lost all three. Georgia almost certainly would have gone
Republican as Arkansas did if a Rockefeller-type candidacy had
been present to gather in the moderate and Negro vote.
All of which brings up the relative aspect of the thing. Party
labels don’t really mean as much to the future of the Deep South
states as do the principles that are in competition. An increase of
segregationist conservatism in a region already surfeited and
stifled with it can hardly be called a political service to the
South, whether it is the result of one party factionalism or is
sanctified with the shibboleth of “two party system.’? A way out
of the past, not a thrust backward into it, is the South’s need.
And the Goldwater Republicanism of Mississippi, Alabama
and Georgia—and to some extent Scuth Carolina—offered an echo
of old Democratic practices instead of the choice of something new.
Far from being constructive politically, this right wing chal-
| lenge merely snuffed out the first glimmerings of moderation
Deep South Democrats and drove them back to the right
to defend their old base of racism and reaction.
Then which party will risk the first move toward the middle
of the road? Again, it is foolish to generalize: Georgia may be
almost as different from Alabama as Florida is from Arkansas.
Yet it would seem reasonable in Georgia at least for the Re-
publicans to lead the way out of the right hand rut and toward
the center. The Democrats would undoubtedly follow them toward
that higher battleground, since they were trying to move there
before the Goldwater debacle chased them back to their old base.
The state would benefit greatly by the moderating trend. And ©
a moderate Republicanism, being known nationally as the more
conservative philosophy anyway, might retain an advantage with
genuine conservatives while freeing itself, as well as the Demo-
cratic party, from the destructive business of courting segrega-
tionists to the exclusion of moderates and Negroes in the South,

Eugene Patterson
MLK: Where
The Action Is?
WASHINGTON — The liberal Washington
§ Post said Thursday that many who have
. ras listened to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with
respect in the past ‘will never again accord him the same confi-
dence. He has diminished his usefulness to his cause, to his
country and to his people. And that is a great tragedy.” The At-
lanta Negro leader deliberately dumped a hod cf bricks on his
own head when he narrowed his base in the civil rights movement
to the confines of the Vietnam ‘‘peace movement.”
But the civil rights movement as it was practiced non-
violently under Dr. King was in trouble anyway. His demonstra-
tions had won their big battles. The antipovertv program he
advocated had been hiring the old militant leaders and moving
them off the streets and into offices where they were invited to
perform instead of protest. :
A fringe of “black power” advocates stole the stage. For all
their admirable goals of instilling pride of race in the Negro,
their technique was a dangerous reverse demogoguery and a
' ready resort to violence.
The riots that ensued were disastrous for the civil rights
movement. After each outburst of lawlessness and vandalism,
white support dwindled, anti-Negro enmities hardened, and civil
rights leaders struggled to minimize the damage with cooling-off
periods that broke the momentum of the movement. _
Then as the black power racists began expelling whites, who
used to make up a big contingent of the nonviolent demonstrations,
fe war in Vietnam gave these white youngsters somewhere else
go.
The same university campuses that supplied manpower and
money for the civil rights movement are preoccupied almost ex-
clusively now with the peace-in-Vietnam protests. That’s where
the action is, all of a sudden, for the white kids who have been
told by Stokely Carmichael that the Negro doesn’t need them
any more.
Dr. King must have watched this breaking up of a rational
civil rights movement with deep dismay.
_ Without questioning his obviously deep-felt convictions about
Vietnam, one can see that he is now in position to salvage at
least some of the dissipated following of the civil rights move-
ment, assuming a drastically narrow base is better than no
base at all.
Yet there is disappointment among many who had hored
Dr. King would somehow overcome the obstacles and revitalize
a responsible movement within the civil rights arena itself, and
not follow the black power hotheads into the emotional tangle of
foreign policy. This he failed to do. It is probably right to call
it a tragedy. It now seems likely that the less spectacular but
harder working old organizations like the NAACP and the Urban
League will have to take up the burden of new responsibilities if
the civil rights cause is to have continuity hereafter.
‘ABC STAGE 67’ TONIGHT
Negro Humor Is Shown
In °A Time for Laughter’
At the beginning of “A Time
For Laughter,” Harry Bela-
fonte’s production for “ABC
STAGE 67” Thursday, on Chan-
nel 11, host Sidney Poitier says,
“There are few things that ex-
press the mood of the Negro
better than his humor. Unlike
his musie — jazz — which has
been able to break out and move
societies of the world, Negro
humor has stayed home.”
Paul Jones is on vacation.
“A Time For Laughter” is an
attempt to bring that humor
into homes where it has never
been seen or heard; to intro-
duce audiences to such classic
comedians as Moms Mabley
and Pigmeat Markham, to the
kind of comedy this show calls
“Ghetto Talk,’ to the black)
birth of what became white
minstrel shows (“That’s how
‘darkies’ was born,” Poitier
comments ironically), to the
outspoken wit and satire of the
socio-political commentators of
the generation following after
Mabiley and Markham.
Producer Belafonte is also
performer Belafonte in “A Time
For Laugher,” displaying his
respect for a vaudeville tradi-
tion that greatly ante-dates him
in a time-honored sketch which
teams him with Pigmeat Mark-
ham and guest star Diahann
Carroll.
Godfrey Cambridge, actor-
turnec-comedian, also turns
writer in the production. He is
featured with Moms Mabley
and Broadway star Diana Sands
in a sketch he wrote, satiriz-
ing suburban social climbers of
all colors.
George Kirby, whose skills at
mimicry have made him a
popular guest on television va-
riety shows, plays a cast of
seven in a ghetto barber shop,
using the sharp edge of wit to
outline seven very different
types (in two colors).
The ghetto talk moves into
two other areas. In a pool hall
we find Redd Foxx, long-time
favorite on the circuit of night
clubs and theaters which play
primarily to Negro audiences
(and lately a guest on after-
noon game shows) utilizing his
zest for the language and
rhythms of the “fast-talking
hippie.”
In a funeral parlor, young
comedian Richard Pryor un-
solemnly intones a Satirical ser-
vice that — like much of hu-
mor’s spectrum — would be
equally at home in any color
scheme.

Mr. Ivan Allen
Mayor- City Of Atlanta
City Hall
Atlanta 9 Gae
Dear Sir:
I believe in our laws and obide by them, but
for the life of me, I cant understand why the black race is
not included in these laws. Were these laws made for the
white race to obide by only? Evidently they were, because
you and the Chief of poilce certainly offer nothing but
excuses for not doing something to stop this destruction
and danger to the citizens of Atlanta. Who is going to pay
for this damage to properity? We all know, as well as you
and the Chief who is responsible, but nothing is being
done to make them pay for the damages caused by them, If
we had the right people in charge, there would be enough
fines and prison centances placed on the responsible ones,
that soon they would run out of money to operate on.
We may have to wait until the next election to
get something done about our laws, and a mayor and chief to
inforce them, but it will be done.
There is such thing as impeachment, and a move
will be started at an early date to see that this is done,
unless you and the chief quit stalling and do something to
stop this destruction. It's a very simple job to do. Just
make all our laws apply to all races. Not just the white
Trace.
I know that you would never have been elected
mayor, if it had not been for the black race, But eaven
they have turned against you now, You do not have now, or
have ever had white friends. Yes you had few white trash
friends. They are lower tan the negro trash. Just look
at the mayor before you, who supportedyou, Next to you,
he was the nearest nothing any city ever had.
You and the chief can do nothing to clear your
name with the white man, but you might clear your consious,
if you have one. I dont think you have or you would never
have doublecrossed the race you were born in to then turned
black, The black race cant trust you now, How can you ex=
pect it of them?
Yours trul
Atlantian and White
Americane
