Kennedy pace on civil rights ok says pace right
President Kennedy says the nation is advancing on racial integration at the right tempo and rejects the idea of dividing politics by race. He praises desegregation in 150 Southern cities as an impressive story and credits Southerners who uphold the law. He backs Senate ratification of the nuclear test ban, will address the UN, and outlines U S policy in South Vietnam. He notes poll figures on integration, calling 50 percent support accurate and 40 percent believing pace is more or less right. He praises the vast majority of Southerners and cites Alabama federal judges who ordered desegregation as reflecting responsibility under the law.
