Lest Some O f Us Oversleep
The large enthusiastic crowds that lined the
streets and jammed many intersections in
both Mobile and Birmingham for Mr. Nixon’s
first Alabama visit since assuming office
may well serve to rekindle the fire under
the Administration’s Southern Strategy.
Many believe that the trip was undertaken
with a view of insuring greater support for
Mr. Nixon’s bid for a second term . In an
informal speach to editors and publishers
in Birmingham, the Presidsnt cited stat
istics to show that the South had made more
progress than the North in desegregation
of public schools.
” I have nothing but utter contempt for the
double, hypocritical standards of those
Northerners who look at the South and say:
Why don’t those Southerners do something
about their race problem" , he said.
These words have the rhetoric of a pulpit
intercession. What effect this pleading will
have cannot be measured with any degree of
accuracy at this moment. One thing is c e r
tain , Mr. Nixon’s bitter remonstration of the
North will not enlarge his circle of friends
from that section.
