DUAN & TAYLOR
MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON
or south, and said that live
stock is often better treated
than colored citizens,
Wilkins vividly described
some of his experiences and
feelings before a hushed Sen
ate Commerce Committee dur
ing hearings on the proposed
national public accommoda-
tions law.
"For millions of Americans
this is vacationtime," he said
"Swarms of families load their
automobiles and trek across
I country. I invite the members
of this subcommittee to ima
gine themselves darker in
color and to plan an auto
trip. ...
"How far do you drive each
day? Where, and under what
conditions can you and your
family cat?. Where can they
use a rest room? Can you stop
driving after a reasonable day
behind the wheel or must you
drive until you reach a city
where relatives or friends will
accommodate you and yours
lor the night? . . .
Unfriendly Slain Avoided
When asked "What do you
do?" Wilkins said that first
the route is checked to avoid
states, if possible, that aren
friendly. The farther north
they travel, the better, he indi
cated.
Before taking a chance of
being rebuffed, you "drive
drive, drive and you don't
stop at four o'clock, you keep
on driving until you get where
you know somebody, or they
know somebody who can take
care of you, or you stop in
private home," he said.
"In an increasing number
of areas, the problem doesn't
present itself," Wilkins con
tinued, "but it is still encoun
tered even in areas thought to
be free.
"What do you do in Iowa in
a small town?" he asked. "It
is almost as much of a prob
lem (in small towns) as a town
in Alabama."
He said that while he could
feel sure of getting a hotel
room in Louisville, Ky., or
Miami Beach, Fla., the small
towns were a chancey thing.

from day to day" was his de
scription of the feeling of
doubt as to whether or not his
dark face at the door would
bring a welcome or rejection.
He described an experience
of traveling in the west.
Rejected In Salt Lake
"I went on an auto trip to
California," he said, "and in
Salt Lake City my wife and I
found ourselves unable to get
coffee and toast before we left
the city. We were in the
shadow of the (Mormon) Tem
ple and yet we were told
bluntly that they didn't serve
Negroes.
"We drove in a good deal of
anger and frustration across
the Salt Lake Flats and came
to Nevada, which of course
doesn't have any temples, only
the temples of chance.
"The first lestauranl we
went into in that 'sinful' state
we were welcomed with open
arms, and we had bacon,
scrambled eggs and toast," he
said, obviously reliving the
warm experience.
"I began to doubt then
whether the 'evil' people were
as evil as had been pictured,
or whether the holy people
were as holy," he explained.
Technicalities Proteiied
In his testimony and during
the questioning that followed,
Wilkins protested the maze of
technicalities and the contro
versy in congressional debate
over whether the law should
be based on the commerce
clause of the Constitution or
under the 14th amendment.
He thought Congress could
find a way to alleviate human
suffering without bogging
down in a stalemated debate.
As is the case with so
many of the vast minority
rights question . . . the tenden
cy in debate has been to treat
the complaints in a detached
laboratory manner...." he
said.
"The truth is that the af
fronts and denials that this
(public accommodations) sec
tion, if enacted, would cor
rect, are intensely human and
personal. Very often they
harm the physical body, but
always they strike at the root
the human spirit, at the
very core of human dig
nity. ...
The players in this drama
frustration and indignity
of
are not commas or semi-colons
in a legislative thesis; they are
people, human beings, citizens
of the United States of Amer
ica. . .."
