Representative William Dawson, vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee, others working with the Negro division of the national party towards the election of Senator John F. Kennedy, are credited with having done an expellcnt, effective and decisive job. In some areas of the South where the voting was almost solidly along racial or pro and con civil rights lines, Negro voters were the difference In the Democratic state victory. In South Carolina, for example, the Democrats carried the state by 9,571 votes, out of a record breaking total number of votes. About eight on nine out of every 10 colored S.

C. voters went Democratic THEY GAVE the Democrat between 60.000 and 65,000 votes, thus enabling the 9.571 vote margin, a margin of about twice the 4,900 margin that Adlai Steven son carried South Carolina in 1952, when there were more than 100,000 Negro voters. Negro votes helped keep North Carolina, Georgia, Texas, and Louisiana In the Democratic column: and of course held down the margins of losses in Virginia, Florida and even Mississippi. What rewards will these voters receive? Will those In charge of the party and setting up policies and Jobs for the new administra tion remember these Southern voters people who have in most caces stuck by the party for nearly 20 years the years they could belong to it in most cases? THERE IS a 6tiong ground swell of questions rising out of the Deep South now on this project. "What jobs will some us get?" "We.

have alv ays support party's leaders to hear and heed the difference between winning and losing. But after we won with our votes party issued patronage jobs to the white Democrats, many of whom were lined up on the opposing side Questions and statements like these can be heard everywhere now around the South, and it might be wise for the Democratic tParty's leaders to hear and heed them. It is no longer likely that Southern Negroes will stick with the Democrats merely on promis es of a better civil rights pro gram. I It seems that while the party has been dangling legislative promises before Negro voters In the South, it has at the same time been existing from Negro support at the polls, then once in office, it has handed the money and jobs to whites. A key to the Democrat' euo cessful work of course Is Mr.

Dawson, who personally called on state and local leaders he's known and worked with for nearly 20 years. These leaders responded, and perhaps got an unexpected assist from Republicans, who didnt appear able to come forth with a program that offset enticements to Southern whites, and at the same time entice Negro voters. WHILE THE election waa so close and hectic that almost any group suporting the Democrats ran claim credit for the outcome arid perhaps be categorically correct, there Is hardly a group which can make its claim to the credit as strong as can Negro voters. For example more Negroes voted for Sen. Kennedy in Philadelphia than is his margin of victory in the popular vote column.

The same thing occurred in such places as New York, Chicago, Detroit, etc. Students Picket Ike At Jim Crow Golf Club AUGUSTA, Ga.
