: It i the misfortune of Ne
groes that in this. moment of
greatest need for self disci
pline that they have no ac
knowledged leader.
: Thousands of Negroes are
enrolled as privates in the
mars armies involved in dem
onstrations, sit-ins and, occa
sionally, street violence. The
number of brigade command
ers accredited to and various
ly directing these maneuvers
is beyond number.
, What the Negroes lack Is
a five-star generalissimo. The
Negroes need a leader who
can arouse their armies or
send the armies home and off
the streets and away from the
jails.
Most especially, the Ne
groes now urgently need lead
ership which - can persuade
them against mass demonstra
tions in the capital of the
United States while Congress
is debating the Kennedy civil
rights bill. One of the Negro
brigade commanders is the
Rev. George Lawrence of the
Southern Christian Leader
ship Conference. Some days
ago the Rev. Lawrence prom
ised that Washington, DC,
would be the focus of a mas
sive, militant and monumental
sit-in this summer unless Con
gress acted fast to assure full
equal rights for the Negro
now.
He said any Southern fili
buster against civil rights
legislation would touch off
massive acts of civil disobe
dience all over the United
States. What the Rev. Law
rence will touch off if he car
ries out his program is pretty
sure to be more racial bitter
ness, more violence and much
less sympathy among Ameri
cans for the pending civil
rights legislation.
The Southern Christian
Leadership conference is one
of many more or less militant
Negro organization.- any one
of which probably could
match the Rev, Lawrence in
mass demonstrations. There
appears to be no Negro or
group of Negroes, however,
competent to control the civil
rights demonstrators by di
recting their activities Into

channels more likely to help
than to harm their cause.
The leadership situation, in
fact, is worse than that. It is
not merely that there is no
acknowledged Negro leader
ship, but that the various bri
gade commanders are com
peting with each other for
prestige and privileges and,
perhaps, for money.
Roy Wilkins is executive
secretary of the National As
sociation for the Advancement
of Colored People. NAACP
long was the muscle and
brains of the Negro effort for
sa d Huranc
civil rights. In a speech re
cently in Alexandria, Vs.,
Wilkins complained that oth
er Negro organizations pro
vided the noise and got the
publicity while NAACP pro
vided the manpower and paid
the bills.
Wilkins named some Negro
mass demonstration outfits
and said "Don't go giving
them your money when it
should be given to us." There
is considerable money avail
able, too. A Negro educator
from Jackson, Miss., spoke
tn Washington last week. It
CJegra aaose
was estimated that the audi
ence of 600 persons contrib
uted $2,000 when the hat was
passed. A lot of money.
There is evidence that some
Negro leaders now feel com
pelled to participate in or to
inspire mass violence to com
pete with others who pro
mote street disorders. The
idea seems to be that the
street riot leader will get
more followers than the paci
fist. How much violence will
there be and what will it do
to the cause of civil rights
are two unanswered ques
tions. James hi. Nabrit Jr. is
president of Howard univer
sity, Washington, DC. The
San Juan, Puerto Rico, Star
quoted him a fortnight ago
as predicting violence, includ
ing the wholesale killing of
people in the United States,
unless Congress acted immedi
ately on civil rights.. .
