WILSON' I iiitcd Press International It is tlie misfortune of Negroes that in this moment of greatest need lor self discipline that they have no acknowledged leader. Thousands 0 Negroes arc en rolled as privates in the mass armies involved in demonstra tions, sit-ins and, occasionally street violence. The number of brigade commanders accredited to and variously directing these ma neuvers is beyond number. What the Negroes lack is a five-star generalissimo. The Ne groes 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 Negroes now urgently need leadership which can persuade them against mass demonstrations in the capi tal of the United States while Congress is debating tlie Kennedy civil rights bill. One of the Negro brigade commanders is the R Ueorge Lawrence of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Some days ago the Rev. Lawrence promised that Washington, D.C would be the focus of a massive, militant and monumental sit-in this summer unless Congress act ed fast to assure full equal rights for tlie Negro now. More Racial Bitterness He said any Southern filibuster against civil rights legislation would touch off massive acts of civil disobedience all over tlie United Stales. What the Rev. Lawrence will touch off if he car ries out his program is pretty sure to be more racial bitterness, more violence and much less sym pathy among Americans for the (lending civil rights legislation. The Southern Christian Leader ship-Conference is one of many more or less militant Negro or ganizations, any one of which probably could match the Hev. Lawrence ill mass demonstra tions. There appears to be no Ne gro or group of Negroes, how ever, competent to control the civil rights demonstrators by di recting tlieir activities Into chan nels more likely to help than to harm tlieir cause. The leadership situation, in fact, is worse than that. It is not merely that there is no acknowl edged Negro leadership, but that the various brigade commanders are competing with each other for prestige and privileges and, per haps, for money. Roy Wilkins is executive secre tary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. NAACP long was the muscle and brains of the Negro effort for civil rights. In a speech last week in Alexandria, Va., Wil kins complained that other Negro organizations provided tile noise and got the publicity while NAACP provided the manpower and paid the bills. Considerable Money Availubte Wilkins named some Negro mass demonstration outfits and said "Don't go giving them your money when it should be given to us." Thero is considerable money First Lady Plans Trip WASHINGTON (UP1I - Mr Jacqueline Kennedy and her two hildren were scheduled to leave Thursday for Newport, R.I., where they will spend a long weekend at her mother's estate. Hammersmith Farm. The First Lady and Caroline. 5, and John Jr., 2, were expected lo leave from the farm July 2 for Capc Cod to spend the summer. available, too. A Negro educator from Jackson, Miss., spoke in Washington last week. It was esti mated that the audience of 600 persons contributed $2,000 when the hat was passed. A lot of money. There is evidence that some Ne gro leaders now feel compelled to participate in or to inspire mass violence to compete with others who promote street disorders. The idea seems to be that the street riot leader will get more follow ers than tlie pacifist. How much violence will there be and what will it do to the cause of civil rights are two unanswered ques tions. James M. Nabrit Jr. is president of Howard University, Washington, D.C, The San Juan, Puerto Rico, Star quoted him a fortnight ago as predicting vio lence, including the wholesale killing of people in the United States, unless Congress acted im mediately on civil rights. oys an Gins! too, may win a SOT Bond IMS for writing us a letter on your FREE WANT AD Sydney Kennedy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R.
