Fennell’s Jewelry Store Sees Changing Political Set-up Miami, Fla., June 6.—Ralph McGill,' editor of the Atlanta Constitution, told the Universi ty of Miami graduating class today that the old political structure of the South is be ginning to fall apart. McGill addressed the record class of 704 men and women, and himself received an honor ary doctor of laws degree. Many of the graduates were former service personnel. McGill told them: “It seems to me that we are in the beginning of a great rev olution in economics, politics, and science. Certainly those of us who live in the South can see it with our own eyes. “In Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina we watch cot ton retreat from our Piedmont regions to our southerly flat- lands. We watch the machines come and cattle graze on grass where cotton has been grown since before the Civil War. We see people, released from the land by machines and the new economy which requires less labor, come to our cities.” McGill said he saw no rea son why anti-lynch legislation should not be enacted to apply to those states which will not enact laws to protect the lives of citizens. “A few days ago we had a lynching in Georgia, the first in 1949,” he told the graduates. “The county in which it oc curred is a county possessing, of course, many good people. But it is a county which has been subjected to poverty of return from the soil, x x x It is a county which never pro duced any leadership. “I am by nature against fed eral controls. But can we ar gue that when a state fails to do its duty, the federal govern ment does not have an interest in protecting the lives of our citizens? This time it may be a poor, obscure negro. The next time it may be you or me x x x it may b e your home or this university and your library or mine (that is burned). We can’t ignore facts. “We need common sense and an end to the Ku Klux Klan mentality. “Is the Dixicrat mentality, which piously and with great hypocrisy parades itself as the States Rights Party but means that it wishes to retain states’ wrongs, going to be able to persuade th e South that it must exclude the negro vote and let it go to those who will take it and make of it a balance of power to attain their own poli tical ends?” W. E. LONG ACCEPTS POSITION IN N. C. Wilbur E. Long, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Long, Pope street, has accepted a position as Superintendent of the Water Plant at Fayetteville, N.
