Education Fund — will keep most in his administra­ tion. Looming to new power, M is believed, will be Hobart Taylor, Jr., executive director of the President’s Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity, who Is perhaps the closest Negro ad­ viser to President Lyndon John­ son. and Carl Rowan, U.S. ambassador to Finland, who has established an extremely warm relationship with the President during several overseas trips with hi/n over the past three years. Rowan’s Role A day after he was sworn in, 1 President Johnson met Ambas- j sador Rowan and told him to ] come up and see him last Sat­ urday, which Rowan did. He is expected to play a key role in improving Johnson’s civil rights posture, which will be a key fac­ tor as to whether he will be elected to a new term. Another person close to the new Pres­ ident is Howard Wood, editor of the St. Louis Argus. - Others Two New Yorkers who may also play important roles in the new administration are City Councilman J. Raymond Jones and Mrs. D* Jaris H. Watson. Councilman Jones was one of four New Yorkers who voted for Johnson for the Presidential nom­ ination at the 1960 convention, and the two have remained “in constant touch’’ since his election, Jones told the Amsterdam News. “I think he is going to be four-square on civil rights and he will be successful in getting the bill through,” Jones declared. Civil Court Justice-Elect James L. Watson and his wife, Mrs. D’ Jaris Watson, established a close relationship with the Pres­ ident when they accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Johnson as dele­ gates to the independence of Jamaica, and have become dose since then. Mrs. Watson was sub­ sequently appointed a member of tivities Second Anniversary Supreme Court Decision May 1966. At the March on Washington, in which Mrs. Bunnche and I < participated (at which you and I both spoke), we saw you and I your family, but we did not see 1 Malcolm X at all, ' and Adam Powell ooly briefly when the * group of Congressmen put in 1 their short appearance at the Lincoln Memorial. These events were all well re- < ported in the press, so there is no room for doubt about where I stand or about my constant readi­ ness io express my views on full equality and integration for the American Negro. I see from your column that Malcolm X intimates that I am free to say what I believe. My record of fully frank public utter­ ances refutes that canard, of course. What Malcolm X really meant is that he does not like to hear what I have to say, and neither does Adam, when, as most recently in Jackson, Miss. I said: Z“...I reject racists and racism, whoever and wherever they are, and whatever their color, as poisonous and vicious, as evidenced by the infamous so- called white citizens councils. I deplore Negroes embracing, as the Black Muslims and Adam Powell have done, a black form of the racist virus. I take my stand firmly and unflinchingly as an American. This is my country; my ancestors and I helped to build it. I say my color has nothing to do with it. I have a stake in this country and I am determined that I and my children will cash in on TUT am determined to fight therefore for what is 'mine. I want no one — Malcolm X or anyone else —to tell me to give up this fight because equality is unattainable and to look else­ where, in some mythical, fanci­ ful state of black men for my salvation. I say that is surren­ der and escapism and I want none of it.” You may be interested in the enclosed copy of the news story about my recent -speech in Jack- son which was published in that city's leading newspaper. What you have written in the column will not in the least en­ dear you to Adam and Malcolm, but knowing you and your strength and fortitude as I do, I can be sure that you will not be losing any sleep about friend and admirer, as Ralph J. Bunche Jackle’i Column 1 In this same recent column ‘ you also accused me and Dr. ( Powell of misleading our peo- , pie. Aren’t you the same ex- , baseball player who tried to' "MISLEAD” Negroes into Nix- , on’s camp during the last presi- , dential election? Evidently you were the ©nly|j Negro who voted for Nixon, be­ cause according to the polls i taken afterward, very few Ne- | groes were dumb enough to fol- , | low your "MISLEAD.” Today you confess to our peo- i pie that you now think Nixon , would have been the wrong man. j Aren’t you also confessing that ] if Negroes had been dumb i enough to follow you three years ago that you would have been guilty of MISLEADING them? Rockefeller You never give up. You are | now trying to lead Negroes into ■ Nelson Rockefeller’s political | camp. If you admit that you , were wrong about Richard Nix- i on three years ago, how are we to be sure that you’ve become ( so politically mature in the ( meantime to be right in your ( choice today? Your "shiftiness” ‘ is confusing and very mislead­ ing. We hear that you are about to be appointed Boxing Commis- ' sioner of New York State by ' Governor Nelson Rockefeller. : ed too were Just stuned, and wanted to get home. A Nightmare “I saw Mrs. Jacquelin Ken­ nedy arrive, her suit and stock­ ings blood-stained, and I saw them put the President’s bodyon the plane. “The first editions of the Dal­ las newspapers carried a short story of the President’s death, but ironically, they had appar­ ently rushed so fast into print that the same front page carried a story of what was to have been the President’s schedule of events for Sunday. “As. my plane took of to bring me Rome to New York, a feeling went through me, and I know I don’t ever want to return to Dal­ las. It was like a horrible night­ mare!” Mississippi Since he was in Mississippi *0 while making his recent speech, , he would have shown more in- 0 telligence had he directed his full attention toward the whites in that area who are bombing Ne- 1 gro churches and murdering in- a‘ a* nocent little Negro girls. Why waste precious time and energy on us? Muslims don’t bomb churches. Muslims didn’t m shoot Medgar Evers in the back. e< Muslims have never lynched th anyone. 1 Dr. Bunche should realize he . can’t fight an effective battle on two different fronts at the same time. He can’t fight the 8 Does this have any bearing on j your efforts to get Negroes Into Rockefeller’s camp? Just who ' are you playing ball for today, good Friend?

Whenever I read field, but we are cautious and < the speeches he makes for Amer- ,d' doubtful about your shifty posi­ tion in this political field. When Mr. Rickey picked you up from obscurity and made you a Big Leaguer, you never let Mr. Rickey down; and since Mr. Black has given you a weil- paying position with Chock-Full- O-Nuts, you have never let Mr. Black down. . .and now with Nelson Rockefeller promising to make you the Boxing Commis­ sioner of New York State, we ■ know that you can’t afford to let Ole Rocky down. You have never shown appre­ ciation for the support given you by the Negro masses, but you I have a record of being very faithful to your White Benefac­ tors. Perhaps, if Nixon had not been such a relatively poorer man. he too would have fared much better with your support. Your column also accused me ican consumption, I often wonder ' if his script-writer isn’t some ® anti-Muslim Israeli? ' You also quoted the comedian, j Dick Gregory, whose script­ writer has him saying that most Negroes never knew the Muslims existed until the white man put the Muslims on Television. I must confess that this is part- true. The Muslims have been in the! Negro Community for a long; time, but Negroes such as your- J self, who regard yourselves as Negro "leaders” never know what is going on in the Negro Community until the white man tells you. You stay as far away from the Negro Community as you can get, and you never take an interest in anything in the Ne- ! gro Community until the white man himself takes an interst in it. You. yourself would never shake my hand until you saw1 The Mirror v We look around for someone to blame, and all we can do is to look in the mirror. Or is it better said that we can look to Texas? From Texas we have our new President. From him we need and want both answers and lead­ ership. Does be fly two flags over his Texas house. — or his Texas heart? Or is his one and only loyalty to the stars and stripes? In the galaxy of nations, where can we now stand under our new President from Texas? We can­ not stand in self-righteous pride. No better than the worst, no worse than the best? Perhaps, but for prideful America, for precious democracy, we are far from the pinnacle we have so eagerly sought.
