Provoker In a recent issue of Harper's magazine, writer Marion K San ders says this about Alinsky: "Inciting municipal jitters is, in a sense, Aiinxky'x trade. This summer he will practice it . . . in several . upstate New York cities Next winter he will be in Kansas City, Mo., where the lo cal press has portrayed him as a 'battler for the poor whose ideas have set thousands marching and resulted in . . . screams of rage, moans, and groans. He provokes violent reactions.apparently it is neutral in appraising him ’ "The problem, Alinsky says, is that—unlike his critics — he really believes in democracy. ‘De mocracy lacking in popular par ticipation dies of paralysis,' he wrote 20 years ago in a little book called Reveille for Radicals. In it he blueprinted his design for militant “People's Organiza tions'’ which would translate 'the despair born of frustration, hope lessness, and apathy’ into fruit ful action. He had, at that time, already Foreign Policy Seminar Open To Students Qualified college students in terested in Congress and Ameri can Foreign Policy may have a chance to attend an eight-week seminar in Washington, D C. next summer.

SAUL AIJN8KY Subject of Discussion brought one such organization in to being in his native Chicago. There—in one grim slum — he forged an effective coalition of Catholic priests, left - wing labor leaders, local businessmen, and the stockyard workers. The cata lyst of this mass movement was shared anger The common en emies were the meatpackers, slum landlords, a City Hall dominated by a callous political machine, and bankers who turned their banks on small home owners in need of mortgages, and/or small merchants seeking credit. The tolls were picket lines and boy cotts, mass meetings, rent strikes, demonstrations, and sit downs. r Conservative Americans were dis mayed by these aggressive tac tics. They also caused consterna tion in ‘liberal’ circles, dedicat ed to benign, orderly social pro grams. As a result the ‘ Back of the Yards’ movement and its or iginator became objects of bit ter controversy. “Alinsky had no financial back ers when he started work in the stockyard area. He found his sup port, as well as the potential leaders of the movement, with in the community itself — an or ganizing principle he has adhered to ever since. Training School “A few farsighted and gener ous Chicagoans saw in Alinsky’s unorthodox methods a new and hopeful way of extending to other benighted communities what has now come to be known as the War on Poverty. With their help he formed the Industrial Areas Foundation—a kind of training school for agitators which, over the next 15 years, helped some 40 impoverished communities set up militant organizations. The most celebrated of these is in Woodlawn, a Negro slum adjoin ing the University of Chicago campus. Charles E. Silberman in his book, “Crisis in Black and White,” has called Woodlawn ‘the most significant social experiment going on among Negroes in Am erica today.’ “Another staunch Alinsky par tisan is Moasignor John Egan who was largely instrumental in winning the support of the Chi cago Catholic Archiodese for the Woodlawn venture.” On Community Colleges Hatfield to Talk At SU Dinner Gov.
