They are failing to 1 recognize, at least publicly, however, that these Democrats 1 have been largely Dixiecrats, who are "dedicated to the prop– osition of white supremacy" and who in issues of progressive Wikhi%< @? legislation for minority interests are no more amiable to northern Democrats than they are to the Republicans them- ~ll'IL·E?i selves. As for Sparkman. Democratic leaders, including Dawson, seem sure thai their vice-presidential candidate will take a just stand on civil rights and FEP. The Ala· bama senator recently declared that he was being vicitm– ized by Republicans who we'l"e telling northerners that he would stick with his southern allies on the ticklish issue and then reversing themselves to inform southerners that he was deserting them. Sparkman has publicly pledged himsE>lf to the whole Democrat platform with the added stipulation thai this pledge will be maintained not only during the campaign but once he is in office. 1 .'1as been shipped to Spr~ngfic ;d , Tennessee, for interment. He has recently had serious talks with some Democratic Negro leaders in the North and has enlisted their aid in order to initiate a "grass roots" door-to-door campaign to en– list more Negroes into the Democratic fold. Nixon, on the other hand, sticks to the Eisenhower theory of the ineffectiveness of federal legislation on civil rights issues and it is probably fair to say that Sparkman gains political stature when compared with Nixon, whom records I prove has turned thumbs down on "first class citizenship for Negroes" at his every opportunity.

According to the•Republicans, not a single Negro offi· cer is a member of a military or air mission to any of the numerous countries, where the USA maintains such mis· sions (not even to colored countries)-excepi possibly Liberia; and there is so far no Negro military or air attache connected with any U. S. Embassy anywhere in the world (except posBibly with that in Liberia). ~~----' Also noted by Republicans is the fact that 90 per cent of ·the Negroes in the Navy are still assigned as mess attendants, r egardless of their qualifications. It is stressed by the GOPs that the public does not have to be consulted on such assign– ments and that as Commander-in-Chief of the armed ser– v ices, the President can abolish such inequalities if he de– sires. In support of their vice-president nominee, Richard M. Nixon of California, Republicans note his preference to John Sparkman, vice-president nominee of the Democrats, Save With Saving Sam Hooson's Hardware 2643 N.

Sixteen times Sparkman voted on civil rights measures and~------------ .. 16 times he voted "nay." Republicans hasten to point out that in Sparkman's home state of Alabama the Democratic state• ballot car· ries the slogan "white supremacy". They view the Spark· man nomination as, a solution to "hold the South in line." They can see no justification for this man that said: "We Southern Democratic Senators-21 of us-are banded together and pledged to use: every parliamentary device possible to defeat civil rights legislation. And lis· ten to this: Every singlet one of those 21 Southern Demo· cratic Senators belie. ve that we should stay in the Demo· cratic party. We know what our most important wea· pon is. It is the ability to work as Democrats." One Republican put it this way: "A Negro would be an I 'Uncle Tom' to cast his vote for Sparkman come November . 4." !
