THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE -To Plead for a Return of Constitutional Government-
Vol. 12 FORT WORTH, TEXAS, JANUARY, 1961 No. I
Callow Revolutionaries Are In The Saddle
And Ready To Ride Off In All Directions
Mink Coats and Cadillacs May Have
To Be Bootlegged Like Bathtub Gin
. Or. J . Kenneth Galbraith who has been widely publicized as chief
ad vtser to M r. John F. Kennedy and who inspired many of the economic
policies w~i ch the President·elect sponsored during the campaign, has a
s t rong antipathy amounting to mania against such articles of commerce
as mink coats and Cadillac cars.
Needless to say, Dr. Galbra it~ is connected with Harvard University
where he per~orm s as an econom1st and where many of the strange and
off.beat theones of government which have plagued the American people
in recent years were hatched .
Dr. Galb raith is pe rhaps the nation's most dedicated and vocal ex4
ponent of the idea that th e American people, in making their purchases,
have no right to buy what they want but should be compelled to acquire
only those items which discriminating eggheads think they should have.
Like all members of his cult, Dr. Galbraith has wr itten several books
fn which he has committed to cold type for the benefit of posterity his
belief in the total regimentation of human behavior.
Sprinkled libera lly throughout the pages of Professor Galbraith's
volumes are bitter attacks against those Americans who are so remiss
in social consciousness that they occasionally break down and buy some4
thing they don't actually need to eat or to keep themselves covered.
His diatribes against mink coats and Cadillac cars are so pronounced
as to suggest that if his proposals as adviser to the President are in4
corporated into our national policies, the day may soon come when those
who covet such luxurious items may have to get them from bootleggers
or smugglers much in the same manner that they had to procure their
bathtub gin and white mule during the days of Prohibition.
College Professors Ask Kennedy To
Adopt 'Be Kind To Communists~ Policy
Thirty·two historians at twenty4
three American colleges and uni4
versities wrote to President·elect
Kennedy recently urging him to
'

affairs" which included the recog ..

many.
The historians said that "the
dead hand of the past" must not
be allowed to figure in his foreign
policy and that the recognition of
these two Communist countries
would be a long step toward
achieving peace.
Other Communist-inspired re ..
quests which the historians made
of Mr. Kennedy were the banning
of nuclear tests and a system of
inspection which would not be too
stringent to pass muster with the
Soviets.
Those signing the appeal, but
whose names were not made pub4

Dear Alma Mater
(Dallas Morning News)
Harvard University continues to
be one of the best sources for government
jobs, with President-elect
Kennedy pulling names of professors
out of his mortar board in
rapid succession.
It Is fortunate that Mr. Kennedy
attended a school with a large
faculty. If he had been a graduate
of a smaller institution, students
there would be teaching themselves
by now. Harvard probably retains
enough faculty members to drive
a full measure of Liberalism into
student heads.
of whom were formerly professors
at Oxford.
The name of the professor who
presented the appeal was w. L.
Neumann, of Goucher College.
Millions of anxious Americans have scanned the list of those
who will compose the administration of the next Pre$ident
of the United States and have turned away with a shudder.
Any faint hope they might have entertained for a return of
Constitutional Government has been abandoned. The only
difference between the appointees of John F. Kennedy in
1960 and Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932 is that the current
crop of nominees are younger, bolder and more aggressive
and more firmly obsessed with the belief that they know all
the answers. Also, even more than their counterparts in
1932, they are deeply rooted in the conviction that all authority
stems from Washington and that the only function
of the citixen is to furnish the money to pay for further wildeyed
forays into Socialism. During the next four years--unless
there's immediate and concerted patriotic action-we
can look for the Sovereign States of the American Union
to dwindle to the stat us of weak and helpless satellites in a
vast Federa l Empire as the services formerly performed by
those great Commonwealths are taken over by hordes of
brash young zealots equipped with Harvard diplomas, brief
cases full of directives and the gleam of a fanatic In their
eye.
I~ you are a_ na~ive America~ citizen over fifty years old, you were
born m a Const1tut1onal Republic where the most priceless possession
of its people was freedom.
Your Constitutional right to manage your own affairs, to provide
for your own security and that of your family and to accumulate a sur·
plus against old age, sickness and other emergencies incident to the uncertainties
of life, was unquestioned.
The idea that a strong centralized government in Washington would
one day step in, shove you aside and take over the .intimate a nd personal
responsibilities which had been the source of your inspiration to work,
to own and to achieve for those you loved, was as remote as the stars
in the heavens above.
It is true, of course, that at times you were sorely beset with
troubles, trials and tribulations which seemed overpowering and some·
times you were broke, disheartened and discouraged to the point where
you felt that you couldn't go on.
But Federal bureaucrats had not yet robbed you of character, backbone
and initiative; your brain had not been washed until it had softened
to the consistency of jelly and you were still unsold on the idea that
living off the taxes extorted from your fellow Americans was not only
an honorable means of existence but was an escape from personal exertion
to which you were justly entitled.
Also, you had not yet adopted the current vicious concept of filial
duty in the relation of parent and child. You had respect, gratitude and
the instinct of protective custody toward the mother who had walked
in the shadow of the Valley of Death in bringing you into the world and
whose work-worn hands had slaved for you in sickness and in health
and toward the father whose bent shoulders and bowed gray head at4
tested to a life of toil and sacrifice in educating you and bringing you to
man's estate.
You would have properly held yourself as beneath human contempt
if you had cast your parents aside in the autumn of their life and shunted
them off onto the tender mercies of a Washington welfare agency or
depended on Federal hand-outs to provide medical and other care in their
old age which the laws of God, and your own conscience, assigned to
you as your own personal and sacred obligation.
So you bucked up, put iron in your spine and with that measure of
courage and fortitude with which God endows all His creatures worthy

These include many ministers,
left-wing politicians, addle-pated
females, liberal columnists and, of
course, the Reds in the movie and
television industries on the West
Coast.
The more criminals such as murderers,
rapists, and robbers who are
turned loose on society, the better
Communism flourishes and it is,
of course, for this reason that the
campaign to do away with capital
punishment was launched by the
Soviets.
ln this case, as in all others, the
Communists do not practice what
they preach. In Russia not only are
criminals put to death but also
many innocent people and they are
agenda.
Watch the demand for this action
spread over the country like
wild-fire, proving all over again
that all radical changes in the
United States are dictated from the
Kremlin. According to plan, the
plea for the abolishment of capital
punishment will be based on the
thread-bare argument that to put
a criminal to death is a Hviolation
of Christian principles."
The Soviet propaganda machine
enlists only the support of the most
outwardly respectable elements of
our society and, therefore~ many
notable and distinguished persons
may be expected to join in this
campaign.
Communist Fight Against Un-American
Activities Committee Will Be Pushed
The Un-American Activities
Committee of the House of Representatives
has been unrelenting
in its attempts to expose Communists
in strategic places in the
Federal government and in other
posts of influence in the United
States and since this is dangerous
business they have been marked
for slaughter.
The big push against the Committee
is said to be slated for Jan·
uary soon after the inauguration
of the new administration.
The rank and file members of
the opposition to the Un-American
Activities Committee are, of course,
documented Communists, Communist
Fronters and Communist
sympathizers who would naturally
be expected to fight to the death
against any organized group which
seeks to expose their nefarious
plot against the security of the
American Republic, but the chief
ramrod of the campaign to abolish
the Committee is Congressman
James Roosevelt of California.
And any dumbfounded and
shocked American citizen who contends
that this man should be tried
and convicted for giving aid and
comfort to our enemies had just
as well disabuse his mind of that
hope.
He would have been thirty years
ago but such behavior is common~
place now and disloyalty on
the part of those entrusted with
national leadership now commands
no reaction among the people beyond
a shrug and a Jifted eyebrow.
And thus the nation's betrayal
into the hands of our enemies goes
merrily on.
As Mr. Kennedy takes office as
President, there are 2,250,000 employees
in 2,500 different Federal
Boards, Bureaus and Commissions,
all eating off the taxpayers of the
United States. If Mr. Kennedy runs
true to form, and there is no reason
to think that he won't, by the
time he leaves office, there will
probably be 3,000,000 parasites on
the Federal payroll for the poor
over-burdened tax slaves to sup~
port.
Louis XIV said that a cannon
was the last argument of Kings.
Transposing the contention of the
evil French ruler, we suggest that
the ballot is the last argument of
the American citizen, so in casting
it in the future be sure you employ
it in the preservation of the Republic
you love.
According to published reports,
one of the main qualifications for
those appointed to high office by
President-elect Kennedy is that
such appointee be "devoted to the
principles of the President-elect."
Nothing was said about being "devoted
to the principles of the
American form of government and
the Constitution." After all, the po~
litical "principles" of Kennedy are
under challenge by about half of
the electorate who voted against
him. Also, he is, like all other oc~
cupants of the office, merely a
passing and transient figure while
the principles of the Republic are
supposed to be eternal.
Callow Revolutionaries I Co~!~~·~ tom
of being called men, you overcame the misfortunes which assailed you.
In the uncontaminated and unperverted state of your mind at that
period of life, it never would have occurred to you to write to Washington
and ask for help.
Also, you were strengthened in your determination to conquer adversity
and wrest success from failure by the realization that into each
life some rain must fall and that Divinity never intended that the journey
of mankind from the cradle to the casket should be strewn with roses
or th~ struggle of mortals for the ultimate goal should be shorn of trial,
trava1! and pain.
Briefly, you were a responsible American citizen and master of
your own destiny and the sole function of those you elected and sent
to Washington to represent you was to perform in such manner that a
climate of Freedom would be perpetuated in which you might shape this
destiny toward worthy and honorable ends.
In other words, you were fortunate enough to be born in a country
whose governing system, at the time of your birth, reflected the divine
blessings of freedom, independence, individual initiative and all the other
basic principles toward which mankind had yearned since the first search
began for a Charter of Liberty on which to erect a form of government
as nearly perfect as was humanly possible to conceive it.
Meantime, what have you, as an American citizen born into a free
Constitutional Republic, done to deserve and to show your gratitude
for the blessings which were conferred on you at birth?
How active have you been in trying to do your part in perpetuating
and preserving this golden heritage which was handed down to you
without effort or sacrifice on your part?
Uncounted thousands have, of course, contributed their share in
trying to keep freedom intact in this country and to prevent the total
dissolution of Constitutional Government in the United States. ·
They have done this as lecturers, columnists, commentators over
radio and television, on the public platform and in the press. They have
done it by writing and publishing patriotic periodicals, by setting up
organizations and groups, by writing letters to the local papers and by
holding neighborhood gatherings to inform their friends and neighbors
of the International Communist Conspiracy to overthrow the American
government and which has contacts in every sector of American civic,
cultural, religious, social, political and economic circles. Many of them
have engaged in these activities at their own expense and at great cost
in time, effort and money.
But the great majority of the American people have calmly sat back
with their hands folded and watched the disgraceful surrender of their
Personal, Property and States Rights to grasping and power-drunk
bureaucrats in Washington who, in grabbing for this power, are merely
carrying out the demands of International Conspirators that all authority
in this country be centered in Washington in order to make our take.over
into a One-World Government easier to bring about.
And this surrender of our Rights and Freedoms which has been
going on steadily for a quarter of a century, will become Unconditional
in the years just ahead when, and if, the Los Angeles Manifesto is put
into effect as the top leaders of the new administration have sworn to do.
There are 537 members of both Houses of Congress in Washington
who are sworn-and paid-to do a job which they have left undone
and that Is to uphold the Constitution of the United States and to
protect the Rights and Freedoms of the American people.
Soon they will be put to the test again and will be called on to vote
away the remaining Sovereignty of the States and the people. Obviously,
the time is ripe for some vigorous prodding of these derelict public
servants by the voters back home.
Our humble suggestion for the New Year is that if only a million
people--out of a total population of some 180,000,000-would exercise
their sovereignty as citizens they could bring an immediate halt to the
continued surrender of the American Republic into the hands of the
enemies of Freedom regardless of whether such enemies reside in the
Soviet Union or in the city of Washington, D.C.
Of course such patrio:ts would have to work through Congress as
that body is the only medium we have in petitioning for the redress of
wrongs.
These patriotic Americans should tennent their two senators and
their congressman with so much attention that it might add up to a form
of human torture but that would be unimportant if the ultimate end is
gained and the further surrender of the Rights and Freedoms of the
American people is stopped.
Unless defenders of Constitutional Government act quickly and ef~
feetively in enlisting the support of their senators and congressmen in
opposing Socialist legislation based on the Los Angeles Manifesto, we
face the grave danger that callow, immature and precocious political
prodigies, reeling under the impact of heady and unaccustomed power,
may do the Republic in.
England's railroads which were
"nationalized" by a Socialist government
in 1948 are now reported
as being $1,000,000,000.00 in the
hole. Nobody expected anything
else except the intellectual perverts
who can't seem to learn that poli~
ticians cannot run a business bet~
ter than the men who have spent
a lifetime meeting payrolls and facing
all the other problems incident
to the conduct of an industrial
enterprise.
One of the principal reasons
why the State of the Union is at
an all·time low, is that we are
represented in State and National
office by political climbers who
have no convictions of their own
and merely try to ape those whom
they regard as being popular with
the public. A political climber is as
obnoxious to a real American as
that pitiable specimen of humanity,
a social climber.

At Least It's One Way
To Make A Living
Perhaps the most comical feature
of a Presidential campaign in
the United States is the rash of
political polls which mushroom all
over the place.
And no group takes themselves
more seriously than the professional
pollsters who make their living
from the art of political sorcery and
peer into the future to divine what
will happen in the days to come.
Read their predictions about the
chances of a particular candidate
for victory and it will be found to
contain more ifs, ands and buts
than the dictionary, and they always
leave plenty of loopholes to
crawl through in the event they are
wrong.
All a voter learns after carefully
perusing these polls is that
one of the candidates is going to
be elected which is poor consolation
because he knew that without
benefit of a poll. And his own guess
is as good as anybody's anyway.
But it all makes for a merry
guessing game and no harm is done
even if nothing constructive is
gained.
We have found throughout the
years that the safest and surest
way to find out who is going to
be elected is to just be patient and
wait until the ballots are counted.
Perhaps the reason we have developed
patience along this line is
the fact that in recent years, it does
not make much difference any way
whether it's Tweedledee or Tweedledum.
When the Civil Service Act was
passed in 1883, there were only a

The Fort Worth-Tarrant County Unit of Pro-America will
honor Mrs. Ida M. Darden, editor and publisher of the Southern
Conservative, with a dinner at 7:00P.M. on Wednesday, January
25th at River Crest Country Club.
Mr. Tom Anderson, editor of Farm and Ranch Magazine,

dinner and pay tribute to a woman whose brilliant editorials in
the interest of constitutional government have inspired many to
designate her as the First Lady of the Conservative Cause in the

How any American with the
reasoning capacity of a ten-yearold
child can regard the United
Nations as of benefit to this country
or as a medium of preserving the
peace is beyond us.
The U.N. Charter provides that
it is to be composed only of peaceloving
nations and that its objective
is to prevent war throughout
the world. And yet, in no instance,
has any nation been barred from

an aggressor and an outlaw except

that it is only a matter of
time until those bandits are also
accepted as brothers in that One·

The most obvious purpose which
the United Nations is achieving is
in helping to spend the United

advocated in the long ago and as
an instrument to deprive the American
people of such few freedoms
as may be left to them when domestic
tyrants get through robbing
them of their Constitutional rights.

when she offered to make it an outright
gift. The woman's name was

An Associated Press release says
that Arthur J. Goldberg, the new
Secretary of Labor, "is a man with
a steel trap mind." We have no
doubt that this is true but the important
thing is who is going to be

this strong labor Union partisan
begins his work of conciliation between
labor and management?

It's Easy To Be Free With
The Other Fellow's Money
There was a time in the history
of this nation when Congress was
the legal custodian of taxpayers'
funds and only that body could appropriate
money and then only
after a law had been passed and
funds were necessary to put it into
operation.
Now all that is changed and apparently
almost anybody connected
with the Federal government can
dip down into the Treasury.
On December 15, a press release
with a Washington dateline said
that Christian A. Herter, outgoing
Secretary of State, had, out of a
clear sky, decided that four newly
''independent" African States needed
financial support and promised
to give it to them.
In letters to officials of the Ivory
Coast, Upper Volta, Niger and Dahomey,
Herter pledged a "significant
United States contribution''
after congratulating them on their
''independence.''
There was no mention of the
"o\mount of this "contribution" but
perhaps Mr. Herter figured that
this was just a detail and that it
is none of the business of the common
herd how much he gives away
and that the only function of the
taxpayer in such cases is to dig
up the money to pay the obligation.
If this were Mr. Herter's own
money, we could understand and
perhaps would applaud his gener~
osity to under·privileged people,
but never will we be able to comprehend
a situation where bureaucrats
seem to have absolute au~
thority to toss around the taxpayers'
money like drunken sailors on
shore leave.
Meantime, we are searching the
Constitution in what so far has
been a futile effort to find a provision
which authorizes an appointed
official of the Federal government
to promise financial assistance
to the people of a foreign
country.
Fort Worth Citizen Calls
Mr. Sam Raybum's Hand
During the widespread demand
for a re·count of the allegedly
fraudulent votes in Texas during
the recent election, Mr. Sam Rayburn,
perennial office-holding politician
and Speaker of the House of
Representatives, was quoted in the
press as saying of the Republicans
who insisted on the recount:
"I fear these people are creating
the impression in foreign lands
that in America elections can be
bought and stolen."
To which a Mr. W. M. White of
Fort Worth replied in a letter to
the press:
"I do not recall just what Mr.
Rayburn had to say about the 1948
senatorial race between Coke Ste ..
venson and Lyndon B. Johnson,
nor do I know what the people in
foreign lands thought about it, but
I do know what a lot of people
in Texas thought."
The Fort Worth citizen was referring
to Johnson's first race for
the United States Senate in which
he was defeated by Mr. Stevenson
until Political Boss Parr in South
Texas, several days after the polls
had closed, allegedly came across
with enough votes of dead Mexicans
to put Mr. Johnson over.

Po·ofit By Others' Mistakes
(Chattanooga News-Free Press)
Since it is generally less painful
to learn from the experience of
others than through personal experience,
Americans would do well
to take a look at how other countries
of the world have fared under
socialistic political systems.
The most recent example is New
Ze?.land which, after a three-year
dose of socialistic rule, last week
restored the free enterprise system
to power. The votes of New Zealanders
reflected their conclusion
from three economically unhappy
years that Socialism just doesn't
work.
Great Britain, of course. offers
even more poignant evidence of
the failure of socialism and the
detrimental effects experienced by
the British economy during the nation's
years under Laborite rule.
The British, mindful of this fact,
now are veering- more and more
away from sociali~m to the extent
that the Sociali~t Labor Party now
apnears so weak it may never regain
power.
The United States has not, so
far, been confronted with socialism
under that name. But socialistic
decay in the form of giveaways,
"welfare" handouts and government
intervention in private affairs
has for years been gnawing
away at the foundations of our
free enterprise economy. The danger
can still be stopped if Americans
will take to heart the bitter
lesson of other nations.
There is nothing wYong in this
country which could not be corrected
by taking from Washington
poJiticians the power of the purse.

Ward Bond. Great Patr~ot And
Loyal American. Passes Away
All good Americans are mourning
the untimely death of Ward
Bond, star of the television prod~ction
"Wagon Train" who died in
Dallas early in November following
a heart attack.
Mr. Bond was one of the pitifully
few persons in the entertainment
industry who could be
truthfully classed as a patriot and
as a believer in American Constitutional
Government.
In a medium filled to ove1ilow.-.
ing with Reds of varying shades,
he stood out like a beacon light
while unfailingly ra ising his voice
in behalf of sound and sane American
principles, in season and out.
He was a patriot in an area of
activity where it was not easy to
stand up and be counted and where
the majority of his associates were
noted rather for their Red leanings
and for the promotion of pro-Communist
causes.
Because of this great handicap
of uncongenial associates, Mr.
Bond's staunch loyalty to his country
and its institutions commanded
special admiration from the ranks

Texans Join In Fight On House
Un-American Activities Committee
According to press reports, six
Texans have voluntarily placed
themselves on Americanism's black
list by signing the Communist-inspired
petition asking the Congress
of the United States to do away
with the Un-American Activities
Committee of that body.
The Un-American Activities
Committee was officially set up
by Congress to investigate espionage
in this country and to expose
those who have been identified
with efforts to overthrow the
American government.
Because of the success of the
Committee in revealing the names
and activities of thousands of Communist
agents and sympathizers it
has incurred the deep displeasure
of Domestic Reds and their allies
who are becoming more insistent
every day that the Committee
cease its activities and Jet the ene-mies
of this country operate without
interference.
Two of the signers of the petition
to discontinue the Un-Arnerican
Activities Committee were professors
from the University of
Texas, C. E. Ayers and George I.
Sanchez. Another was J. Frank
Dobie, former professor in that university,
and the remaining three
are a Molly M. Be1~e. Rev. Alfred
D. Heininger and Emmett R. Johnson,
none of whom were further
identified in the Washingwn press
release concerning the matter.
Nationally·known proponents of
the campaign to have the UnAmerican
Activities Committee
suppressed are Negro Martin Luther
King, Jr. and the ubiquitous
Eleanor Roosevelt whose son, Congressman
Jimmy Roosevelt of California
is ring leader of the movement.
New Hampshire Senator Says Former
President's Views Of Little Weight
A policy statement filled with
horse sense such as seldom emanates
from members of either
House of Congress was given out
on January 2 by Senator Styles
Bridges of New Hampshire in outlining
procedure of the Republican
delegation in the present session
of Congress.
He said that his Republican colleagues
in the Senate would pursue
an independent policy in legislative
matters now that they are
cut loose from White House ties
and that this action may result in
increased opposition to foreign aid
and other spending programs.
The New Hampshire senator
made it clear that he does not believe
the views of retiring President
Eisenhower will carry much
weight with Republicans in Congress.
··we Republicans in Congress
will listen to suggestions
from anybody who wants to make
them," the senator stated, "but
nobody on the outside is going to
dictate to us on policy."
Senator Bridges, who heads the
Republican policy committee in the
Senate, expressed the hope that
the Republicans in that body
would have the help of Southern
Democrats in "stopping some of
the wild spending schemes which
were pledged in the Democratic
platform."
The trouble between Conservative
Republicans in Con~ress and
the White House, of course,
stemmed from the fact that Mr.
Eisenhower was not actually a Republican
and had no sympathy for
the sound conservative principles
which once were part and parcel
of the formerly great party of Lincoln.
In many of his proposals he
went as far to the left as any New
or Fair Dealer and was able to keep
Republicans in Congress in line because
of political considerations
only.
Hollywood Actors
And Writers File
Suit ACJains·t Studios
For some reason, sympathizers
of Communism are breaking out
all over in the United States and
boldly demanding their "right" to
belong to grouos and organizations
which advocate the overthrow of
the American government and, at
the same time, to enjoy all the
privileges and benefits accorded
those citizens who are ready to
fight and give their lives to the
preservation of that same government.
This fact was emphasized recently
by the action of some of
the "Hollywood Ten" composed of
actors and writers who filed suit
a...,ainst maior movie studios for
$7.500,000 in damaees and the abolition
of an alleged blacklist which
they claim prevents their employment
in the entertainment industry.
Some of those filing suit were
convicted in 1947 and sent to _iail
for contempt of Congress after refusing
to say whether or not they
had ever been Communists.
The suit was filed in a Federal
court in Washington. D.C. and will
probably be carried to the Supreme
Court in view of tl-te leniency of
that body toward offenders of this
type.
The nlaintiffs who contend they
were cfeorived of work in Hollywooci
bec~use they were on the alleoed
bl2cklist are Nedrick Young,
Albert 1".1altz, John Howard Lawson,
Herbert Biberman, Lester
Cole, Robert L. Richards, Frederick
I. Rinaldo, Philip Stevenson, Gale
Sonder~aard, Alvin Hammer, Mary
Virginia Farmer and Shimen Ruskin.
THAT'S THUNG
THEM, BROTHER
The following true story was told
us by one who was present and
who related it to us verbatim.
It has to do with a type of oldfashioned
Negro whom all South·
erners once knew and loved.
An elderly retired colored
preacher was presiding over the
pulpit in a Fort Worth colored Baptist
church in the absence of the
regular pastor.
Believing in fire and brimstone,
he pulled no punches in informing
his congregation of the fate which
awaited them in the world to come.
After charging them with being
guilty of practicall_v every sin in the
whole category of human misdemeanors,
he wound up with this
clincher:
"And, furthermore, even• ·me
you gets a chance, you heists a
bottle of beer, wraps yo lips around
it and don't take it down until
every last drap is gone."
The crowning insult to selfrespecting
and honorable American
taxpayers is for Washington
political leaders to take their hardearned
money and send it to the
savage black beasts in the Congo
whose murder, rape and mutilation
of helpless white people, constitutes
one of the blackest pages in
the history of civilization.

Pro-Communist Bias Of News Media
Handicap In fight On Communism
One of the greatest obstacles to
the fight on Communism in the
United States is the attitude of
many editors, commentators, rep
porters and others connected with
the various news media in this
country.
For instance, a ruler of a country
like Russia, Yugoslavia, or Cuba,
in other words a head of a Communist
country, is almost invariably
referred to as a "Premier"
and treated with respect in news
or editorial discussions. But Trujillo
of the Dominican Republic is
always called a "Dictator" and is
played up in a way to make him
look ridiculous.
This, presumably, is based on
the fact that our policy is to coddle
Communist dictators such as
Khrushchev, Tito and Castro but
to denounce Trujillo who is an anti·
Communist dictator.
This pro-Communist policy on
the part of the press is also forcefully
demonstrated in the case of
integration of the races in schools
and any disturbance resulting
therefrom.
When Negroes picket, parade,
wave banners or engage in rioting,
they are always referred to as
"students" or "youths" and are always
''orderly." But White students
are pictured as "disorderly
teen-age mobs" or "packs" if they
engage in activity to prevent integration.
It's pretty disgusting and discouraging
but not to be wondered
at since it has been revealed time
and time again in testimony before
investigating committees that the
Soviets have gone out of their way
to brainwash the press in this country
and their activity along that
line has been as meticulous as their
campaign to pervert educators and
ministers of the gospel.
It is tragic to have to face up to
the fact that a large part of the
American press has been so infiltrated
that any movement to oppose
Communism or Soviet policies
in this country, is distorted,
slanted and biased by those who
feed news and editorials to the
American public.

Bloody Revolution Called Fo.ln
P.-otestant Chu.-ch Play
Instances of Communist influence in American churches have been
frequent in recent years but it is seldom that an activity of a religious
denomination has inspired the calling in of the FBI as happened in some
Texas Protestant churches recently.
This activity was the proposed production of a play by the Young
Peoples Department of such churches titled "The Crier Calls"
which purports to portray "today's struggle of peoples for justice and
fulfillment," but which actually sounds a call for bloody revolution.
Production notes for the play include these instructions: "The theme
of this drama is today's struggle of peoples for justice and fulfillment.
The various aspects of the struggle, developed by the chorus and interpreters
are: nationalism, economic exploitation of workers, unemployment,
color prejudice, land hunger, lost faith, cultural breakdown.
It would be well for the chorus to be in back stage with blue light.
Since South Africa and Kenya inspired the last chorus in particular, it
would be advisable to have Negro members of the chorus in the front
ranks."
Some of the lines for the performers to recite in the play include
these familiar notes:
"We have asked, 1Who is the cause of our hunger,' and our hearts
have answered, 'They who sit in the pleasant houses, they who have
bought our hands and would deny us a soul, they who have bought the
rulers for insurance that their profit be undiminished.' We must upset
their world that we may live; we are men and would be free. We will
make havoc in the earth, throw down the old, raise the new. Agitate!
Liberate! Pillage! Plunder! Strike! Fire! Burn!"
And this chant by the entire cast: "In that day that shall surely
come we shall cleanse ourselves. We shall heap their corpses in the
street; with a haiJ of deadly blows in one dark night we shall pay back
these thousand years of the black man's shame in the blood of our
enemies, we shall wash out the indignities of those years, and their
blood shaJI be the balm for our pierced and aching hearts."
Emphasizing the call to bloody revolution is this final warning of
the ensemble: "We will do what we must do, sound the drums, gather
the warriors, light the ceremonial fires and summon the assembly to
hear our vows. Let us take up our swords and anoint them with blood.
Let us strike till the ann is weary, till the land pours forth a thousand
crimson rivers, tip again we inherit the land of our fathers, for in the
shedding of blood Is remission and release from the curses of our
children. We will cleanse ~ ourselves in blood, blood, blood, blood" ...
Since this type of aCtivity is in line with a recent warning by Honorable
J. Edgar Hoover to the effect that Communists are tightening
their pfforts to infiltrate the religious youth of the country, some of
the r 1armed parents of the young people involved in the proposed perform"'
nee in one city notified the FBI and as this is written, there is some
daub~ that the play will be allowed to be produced in those places where
parf'T'I's have reported the matter to the proper authorities.
S"'eculation Rife About Reasons
For Naming Of Housing Head
Mr. Kennedy's unbelievable action in naming a Negro as Director
of the National Housing Authority in view of present explosive racial
relations, has inspired many unconfirmed reports concerning the matter,
and his reasons for this astounding action.
Since he received almost the solid support of Negroes in his campaign,
naturally Mr. Kennedy wanted to give some prominent members
of the race recognition. At the same time he was fully aware that
Henry Cabot Lodge's unauthorized crack about a Negro in the Cabinet
was one of the major causes of Nixon's defeat.
It is hinted, therefore, that he knew well in advance that his offer
of the Cabinet job of Postmaster General to Negro Congressman William
Dawson of Illinois would be refused because Dawson wanted to keep
his seniority in the House of Representatives.
This offer would be a gracious gesture of gratitude and in the event
of Dawson's refusal, would, at the same time, spare him the politically
dangerous proposition of a racially integrated Cabinet.
This, however, did not fool or appease the smart boys in the New
York NAACP who refused to settle for anything less than what they got
-one of their number at the head of an agency supervising housing fa·
cilities for tenants who represent a ratio of perhaps one hundred White
persons to each Negro involved.
These rumors may or may not be true since the peculiar and unprecedented
action of the President-elect in the matter would naturally give
rise to all sorts of speculation. He may have made the appointment on his
own initiative and because he wanted to which is, of course, his privilege,
but to say that this appointment could further inflame a situation which
might get out of hand, is putting it mildly.
"Not the cowardly cry that 'nothJng
can be done' but the clarion
call that 1it can be done' because
it MUST be done should be heard
on all sides, to repudiate those of
little faith and to give those who
are weary fresh hope." - Texans
for America.
No nation is free when the right
to own property is limited or re·
stricted by thos~ who govern.
The first law of nature was that
all mammals including man should
feed, clothe and shelter themselves
without aid or interference. The
Federal government has now taken
over this responsibility which has
thrown nature out of balance and
we are paying the penalty in the
confusion, chaos and corruption
which is prevalent throughout the
land.
The President Could Have Looked
Further And Done Much Better
It is claimed that in view of the closeness of the election, Mr. Kennedy
toned down his selections in the matter of appointees and refrained
from naming some ultra·Liberals for important jobs whom he
had in mind and that, therefore, his Cabinet and his official family will
be slightly more Conservative than he had planned or wanted.
We wouldn't know about that but if he had intended to reach
further to the left and choose even more pronounced Welfare Staters,
then it must have been an act of Merciful Providence which decreed that
only approximately 111,000 out of some 68,000,000 votes should separate
the two candidates.
With the selection of Dean Rusk as Secretary of State, Adlai
Stevenson as Ambassador to the United Nations and Chester Bowles
and Soapy Williams as Assistant Secretaries, there is little chance that
the element in that agency which was responsible for the sell·out of
China to the Communists, for ousting Batista and installing Castro as
Prime Minister of Cuba, withdrawal of recognition of the Dominican
Republic on Communist insistence and other foreign policies inimical
to the interests of the United States, will be purged from the department.
Dean Rusk comes fresh to the job from his position as President
of the Rockefeller Foundation where he was largely in charge of making
grants and in spending millions of dollars which, being Rockefeller
money, naturally was used in promoting the cause of International
Socialism throughout the world.
Adlai Stevenson is the most thoroughly rejected and repudiated
candidate for the Presidency since William Jennings Bryan and it is not
believed that Mr. Kennedy would have dared inflict him on the American
people except as the reported price for the support of Eleanor
Roosevelt. Stevenson and Chester Bowles, pawn and mouthpiece of
UNESCO and other One-World agencies, are perhaps the two most objectionable
figures to advocates of good government that the Presidentelect
could have chosen, while Soapy Williams' only claim to distinction
is that he was successful during the years he was Governor of Michigan
in bankrupting that great State through his insatiable demands for
Socialist legislation and give·away programs.
As this is written it is suggested in press reports that Charles E.
Bohlen and even Dean Acheson will be added to Mr. Kennedy's stable
of left-wing theorists before he has completed the list of his nominees.
But perhaps the most blatant disregard for ethics and good taste,
to say nothing of political judgment, was his selection of his brother
Robert as Attorney General of the United States in which he will be in
position to use the police power to back up any executive directive no
~atte~ how restrictive of the rights and freedoms of the people such
d1rect1ve may be.
We had thought that the bayonet-wielding advocate, Mr. William
P. Rogers, represented the extreme in that job but we tremble to think
what might have happened if Brothi:r Robert had been the Attorney
General during the days of Little Rock.
Little Interest Shown In
Texas U.S. Senator's Rac:e
Mr. John Tower, Republican,
who made such a surprising race
against Lyndon Johnson for the
United States Senate from Texas,
has indicated that he may make
the race again. The office was
vacated when Senator Johnson de·
cided that he couldn't hold down
both of the two jobs to which he
was curiously elected, and resigned.
Mr. William Blakeley, Democrat
of Dallas, who will fill the interim
until a regular election, has announced
that he will run for a full
term.
Ordinarily, Mr. Blakeley is regarded
as a Consetvative, but the
fact that he is being named by
Governor Daniel for the interim
job casts some confusion into the
situation for Governor Daniel is
not usual1y partial to Conservatives.
Congressman Jim Wright of Fort
Worth is also a candidate as are
several others from over the State,
most of them either Liberals and
Ieft·wingers or fence straddlers.
Texas has been practically without
distinguished representation
in the Upper House for so long
that the people wouldn't know
what to do if they waked up some
morning and found that the Lone
Star State had elected a statt::sman
to that office.
The unlimited power of government
over the purse hangs like a
death sentence over the head of a
citizen.
Widespread Fraud Charges
Throw Cloud On Election
It is now pretty widely agreed
that the November election was
not on the up and up and that if it
had not been for the irregularities
~~~u~t~ol~~g~ntd he:z:s~~~a~e~i~~~~~~:
This is unfortunate for it starts
off the new administration under
a cloud which might, or might not,
have been cleared up if there had
been prompt, thorough and honest
investigation in those areas where
fraud was charged.
Professional vote thieves were
active in Chicago, according to
press reports where thousands of
votes were claimed to be either
thrown out or miscounted. The
same was reported to be true in
Texas although amateurs and not
professionals are credited with
manipulating the results there.
Other States were also involved
in the charges but the apathy of
the Republicans, except in a few
cases, and including Mr. Nixon
himself concerning the matter made
it easy for the whole affair to be
brushed under the rug.
It Is to be hoped that proper
precautions will be taken to guard
voting booths in the future in order
to circumvent charges of dishonesty
in the balloting which were
circulated throughout the country
in the case of the 1960 election.
January, 1961 THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE Page 7
Federal Dictatorship Set Up In
The Sovereign State of Louisiana
The cities of Moscow in Russia and New Orleans in the State of
Louisiana in the U.S.A. have something in common.
Both are being run by Dictators whose power is absolute.
The Moscow Dictator is, of course, Nikita Khrushchev and the New
Orleans Dictator is J. Skelly Wright, a Federal Judge. Neither was
ever elected to any office by the people over whom they rule with an
Iron Hand.
Khrushchev was able to reach his present position as Dictator over
millions of people through inheritance of the office which came into be·
ing with the Revolution of 1917.
J. Skelly Wright achieved total power in Louisiana through highly
questionable decisions of the Supreme Court holding that segregation
of public schools was illegal after previous rulings by the same Court
for almost a century held the opposite.
ln line with that unfortunate decision, a total Dictatorship has been
built up in Louisiana and New Orleans is now being held up as the
horrible example of what happens in the United States when Sovereign
Citizens elect to run their own affairs which the Constitution authorizes
them to do.
Under this Dictatorship the last vestige of States Rights so thor·
oughly enunciated in the Constitution has been totally abolished and the
sacred and underlying American principle that all just government is
based on the consent of the governed has been shamelessly abandoned.
The Louisiana Legislature, seeking ways to continue the orderly
operation of the schools in a manner that has proved satisfactory to
both races since Reconstruction Days, passed several laws to this end
which the Federal Judge promptly declared un-Constitutional along with
the snide remark, according to the press, that such laws were passed
merely to "let the legislators blow off steam" and that they didn't mean
anything at all. On another occasion, he is quoted in the press as having
asked elected officials to "keep out of it" and to stop interfering.
At this writing this power-drunk Federal representative has taken
over all functions in the Commonwealth of Louisiana and is pro'viding
an example of despotism never before equalled in a free Republic.
If . he is allowed to continue to get by with it, the end of State
Sovere1gnty has been reached, freedom is dead in the United States and
the. status of the citizen is on a par with that of the slaves in the Soviet
Umon. "

"You say it for all of us who
lack your gift with words. I wish
I had half your vocabulary to describe
what I think of your unique
and wonderful paper. May your
shadow never grow less.''
R. S. McNamara, named Secretary
of Defense by John F. Kennedy,
is reported in the press to
be making a sacrifice of his stocks
and personal holdings which will
cost him over three million dollars
in profits during the next three or
four years.
So he's giving up three million
dollars in profits in order to take
a job which will pay him a salary
of $25,000 per year and what we
want to know is-WHY?
And don't anybody tell us that
he is motivated solely by an altruistic
desire to serve his country
because we won't buy that.
We do not know Mr. McNamara,
of course, and have not the slightest
intent to reflect on his personal
integrity.
lt is just that we are realistic
enough to know that ex-Harvard
professors who go into government
do not do so in order to lend their
influence and prestige to efforts
for the restoration of Constitutional
Government and the preservation
of sound American principles.
Invariably their motive is to in·
spire and promote the new social
and economic order so forcefully
stressed in the Harvard curriculum
and the program of World Socialism
which Ford and Rockefeller
Foundation money· is advancing
throughout the world.
We hope that Mr. McNamara is
an exception and that no new and
untried theories and experiments
so dear to his Alma Mater will be
allowed to influence his efforts as
head of our Defense and national
security.
There's 'Partiality' As Well As
'Discrimination' Because Of Color
Millions of words have been
written a b o u t "discrimination"
against people because of their
race or color but very little is said
about "partiality" to people for the
same reason.
This partiality to a member of a
minority group was strongly emphasized
when Congress convened
early in January.
Promoters of the New Frontier
were anxious to revise and emasculate
the Rules Committee of the
House which often blocks Socialist
legislation. They especially wanted
Congressman William C. Colmer
of Mississippi, a conservative and
strong champion of States Rights
and Constitutional Government, removed.
They commissioned Mr. Sam
Rayburn to do the job. Always
meticulous about upholding House
rules in the past, Mr. Sam was
not enthusiastic about the undertaking,
but he was one of the casualties
of the Kennedy forces at
Los Angeles Convention and he
had to obey.
Being a strong party man he
figured that Colmer should be
purged but only because of the
fact that he, Colmer, had refused
to support Kennedy in the campaign
and had voted for unpledged
electors, and not because of his
Rules Committee membership. It
was the plan to take the Mississippi
Congressman off the Rules
Committee and demote him to a
minor Committee.
Then somebody brought up the
point that Adam Clayton Powell
of New York, Chairman of the
Labor Committee, had also refused
to support Adlai Stevenson in 1956
and had voted for Eisenhower. If
Mr. Colmer had to give up his
Committee membership, so did
Powell. 1
That did it. Mr. Colmer is a
White man and Powell is a Negro,
and naturally nobody would try to
unseat the Negro. j
The Liberals will probably be
able to mess up the Rules Committee
to some extent by other
measures, but Mr. Colmer will not
likely be removed.
NAACP Brings About Integration Of
Birth Certificates In New York
If any future American citizen
wants to be identified as to "race
or color" and doesn't want to be
put down as just another addition
to humanity's great melting pot,
he had better arrange to be born
somewhere else than New York.
For New York's female Health
Commissioner, Dr. Leona Baumgartner,
has yielded to the current
arbiter of all human destiny, the
National Association for the Advancement
of Colored People, and
has issued an edict that, hereafter,
information will be eliminated from
birth certificates which discloses
any facts other than that the newborn
infant is male or female and
no reference to race or color will
be tolerated.
This aggressive female dictator
conceded that there is a necessity
for this information to be com·
piled, however, for medical reasons.
It appears that some diseases
attack the Negro race more
violently than is the case with
White people and it seems that, so
far, the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People has not been able to repeal
this rule of nature.
So the Health Commissioner is
going to compel physicians who
Adlai Stevenson, two-time loser
in the Presidential sweepstakes,
keeps repeating that the only interest
he has in government is to
"help." The only way he can help
the cause of good government is
to get lost.
The founders of the American
Republic exerted their utmost ef·
forts in restraining the depravities
of human nature by restricting the
power of those who govern.
officiate at births to actually break
down and disclose whether the new
arrival is black, white, yellow or
deep purple but this will be for her
private information only and will
be kept in the files of the Public
Health Department but will not be
available to the public.
What New York, or any of the
screwballs who run it, does is no
concern of ours but we would like
to remark in passing that hereafter
human beings born into the great
Empire State will have less freedom
and recognition than dogs
which are littered there. At least
the blooded members of the canine
family will be entitled to have their
breed, their color and their blood
strain registered in the kennel
books at their birth, while human
children will have to be content
with merely being listed as twolegged
animals of a certain address
and a certain gender.
And how is that, Mr. Khrushchev,
for complying with the Soviet de·
mand that all racial lines be erased
in the United States? You never
thought it would be so easy, did
you, chum?
King John at Runnymede in 1215
lengthened his life by surrendering
his power over the people and giving
them a written contract which
established their inalienable rights
to life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness.
On the day that Tito issued a
denunciation of the United States
before the world, our government
in Washington sent to this Krem ..
lin puppet $100,000,000.00. Surely
the American taxpayers are entitled
to demand that this suicidal
policy be stopped.

Way Is Being Cleared In
Congress For New Frontier
One of the first organized moves
by the new Administration to put
the Los Angeles Manifesto into
effect and to establish the New
Frontier will be an assault on the
Rules Committees of the House
and Senat"e. plans for which are
well advapced according to press
reports.
The idea of emasculating these
Committees is that any conscientIous
objector to National Socialism
on such committees may be shorn
or his power to withhold objectionable
bills from consideration by the
respective Houses of Congress.
As might be expected such
staunch opponents of Constitutional
Government in the Senate as
Paul Douglas of Illinois, Joseph
Clark of Pennsylvania and Hubert
Humphrey of Minnesota are leadIng
the fight to smash the Rules
and let Liberals have a free hand
while Mr. Sam Rayburn, perennial
guest at the taxpayers' table, is
trying to figure out a way to topple
the Rules in the House without
having it appear that they were
pushed.
The outcome of this assault is
problematical but there is no doubt
that these two Committees are in
for a terrific onslaught by political
bulls in a china shop who are out
to break everything which threatens
to block the road to the New
Frontier.
Family Magazines Leave
Christ Out Of Christmas
The bitter attack which Interna~
tiona! Communism is making
against Christianity in the United
States and the campaign to take
Christ out of Christmas is reflected
in many areas of activity but it is
especially noticeable in the case
of so-called "family magazines" in
this country.
Many of these publications have
been in existence for more than
fifty years and in other years have
emphasized the Spiritual aspect of
Christmas on their covers and in
their reading matter.
For the past several years and
especially this past Christmas,
there was nothing to indicate that
Christmas is anything more than a
time for gaiety and all reference
to its function as the Anniversary
of the Birth of Christ was absent.
If this had occurred in just one
or two instances, it would not in~
dicate a trend or a planned program
but the lack of any spiritual
reference to Christmas in practical~
ly all established publications ap~
pearing on the news stands this
Christmas shows that the deadly
work of International Communists
has been well done.
Leon M'ba, President of the new~
ly "independent" nation of Gabon,
one of the tribal nations recognized
and received into the United Nations,
had to complete a four-year
penitentiary sentence before making
the journey to U.N. headquar ..
ters to be sworn in. He was con~
victed of eating his mother-in-law
and had to serve out his term.
Aside from the horror of Cannibalism
implied in this incident, there
fs a good aspect too. It proves
that mothers-in-law are not the
tough old gals they are cracked
up to be.
THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE
~,ew Orleans Mothers Given The
Works By Irate Woman Writer
The childless New York columnist, Inez Robb, recently let loose a
blast in her widely-read column against the harassed and desperate
mothers of New Orleans who are protesting integration of the schools.
Mrs. Robb indicated in no unmistakable terms that she regards these
beleaguered ladies as little better than abandoned women of the streets.
Designating them as "New Orleans Women," she employed prac~
tlcally every ugly adjective in the English language to express her contempt
for their pitiable attempts to fight back at Federal tyrants who
seek the debasement of their children.
Mrs. Robb, not having any children of her own, cannot be expected
to understand or have any sympathy for the impulse which impels a
mother to protect her young from harm even at the cost of her own life,
and perhaps we should be tolerant of her intemperate castigation of a
human emotion which she has never experienced and, therefore, cannot
comprehend.
Since Mrs. Robb says she was "sickened" by the behavior of the
"New Orleans Women" and that she blushed with shame because of
their actions, we hasten to remind her of a recent racial incident of a reverse
nature which occurred in the great cultural, moral and religious
center known as Hollywood. Since this Hollywood incident probably
conforms more nearly to Mrs. Robb's ideal of proper and decent race relations,
we feel sure it will repair much of the damage to her emotions
caused by the performance of the "New Orleans Women."
In the Hollywood case, accordiRg to press reports, a Negro man
married one white female and publicly embraced and kissed another one.
So when Mrs. Robb becomes "sickened" beyond endurance by the
thought of the New Orleans affair, we suggest that she hug to her breast
the memory of the Hollywood performance.
If she will just keep the image of that little deal in mind. we feel
sure that it will serve to wipe the blush from her fair cheeks which the
conduct of the wicked "New Orleans Women" inspired.
White House Conference on Aging Provides
Window Dressing For Socialized Medicine
As we go to press a "White House Conference on the Aging" is
taking place in Washington, the inference being that the all -powerful
government of the United States can even do something about people
getting old.
As a matter of fact, people have gotten old since the beginning of
time and we strongly suspect that they will continue to do so from here
on regardless of the bright and shining programs of empty-headed social
planners who have placed the problems of old age high on their agenda
for solution.
Strangely enough, the majority of those who will attend the "Conw
ference on the Aging" will not be old people at all. It will be .composed
of large delegations of youthful social workers who are convmced
that they know just what should be done in every human contingency
and how to do it.
In reality, the "White House Conference on the Aging'' is merely
window dressing for the form of Socialized Medicine known as medical
health care provided by the Federal government for persons over sixtyw
five who are commonly supposed to become outcasts of human society
when they have reached that age, to be deserted by their children and
families and automatically converted into wards of the government.
The Conference is intended to beat down opposition in Congress
to various bills which will be introduced providing medical care for the
nation's senior citizens whether they need it or want it or not.
As the inimitable Dan Smoot, who never fails to hit the hull's eye,
says in one of his late Reports concerning the affair: "In rea lity the
White House Conference on Aging will be an exercise of group dynamics
- a Communist-developed technique of mass thought-control. A large
number of sincere delegates will be manipulated into 'making' decisions
which were already made by the reigning politboro long before the delegates
were ever selected .... But the people who set up the Conference
know, and admit, that the whole thing has been planned not for the
purpose of producing any new information, but for the sole purpose of
persuading the people to support the 'Federal programs' which the Conference
planners have already decided upon before the Conference was
ever called."
As one of the vast army of the nation's "aging" whose destiny the
slap-happy young social planners are trying to manipulate and juggle, we
respectfully suggest that they attend to their own cotton pickin' business
and let everybody else, including the "aging," do the same thing and the
world will be lots better off.
Old people struggled along before these addle·pated planners were
even born and there is no documented evidence that they can't continue
to do so.
President-elect K e n n e d y has
drawn so heavily on the faculty
of Harvard University in naming
his official family that there Is
talk of moving Harvard classes to
the White House until its depleted
staff can be replaced.
Labor leaders are asking for
temporary suspension of Federal
income taxes as an anti-recession
measure. Millions of Americans
are asking for permanent repeal
of the Income Tax Amendment as
an anti-theft and anti-corruption
measure.
January, 1961
He's Got The Whole
World In His Hands
Mr. Averill Harriman of New
York has just been invested with
an office of such proportions as
to put that of an Oriental Potentate
in the shade.
The President-elect has named
him as "Roving Ambassador" and
the whole world is his bailiwick.
In the absence of any authentic
information about the procedural
methods of a man suddenly en~
trusted with supervision of an en~
tire globe, we assume that it will
be necessary to keep a supersonic
jet primed at the Ambassador's
front door so he can be ready to
"rove" at the drop of a space
helmet.
In view of his past experience
in covering territory, we can visw
ualize him hopping off one morn~
ing to settle a controversy between
warring cannibal tribes in French
Equatorial Africa and then being
on hand to arbitrate a jurisdiction~
at dispute between headhunters in
Northern New Zealand in the after~
noon.
We still think Mr. Kennedy made
a mistake in this appointment,
however.
The job was made to order for
Eleanor Roosevelt.
More Truth Than
Poetry In This
The following story which is at·
t ributed to a member of Congress
from the State of Florida, Repre~
sentative Robert Fikes, would be
very funny if it were not so near
the truth as to rob it of much of
its comic value:
A Southerner was having some
difficulty reconciling himself to
the present-day Supreme Court and
its rulings and was discussing the
subject with one of his elderly
Negro helpers.
"Mose," the Southerner com~
mented, "what do you honestly
think of that blankety blank Su·
preme Court in Washington?"
«Boss," Mose replied, "Us colored
folks thinks the Supreme
Cote is a mighty fine thing. Why
don't you white folks get you·all
one?"
Freshman Diplomat
Becomes Authority
On African Affairs
Edward, othetwise known as
"Ted," the baby of the Kennedy
Clan, spent several weeks touring
four French colonies in Africa,
Ivory Coast, Dahomey, Upper Volta
and Niger following which he made
a report to the President-elect on
the "Algerian Crisis."
"I will give my brother an ac·
count of the opinions of African
leaders and my observations in
order that there may be full com·
preh~nsion of this problem," the
buddmg young statesman an ..
nounced to the press when leaving
the Ivory Coast capital of Abidjan.
We are beginning to think that
the wag is not far wrong who re ..
cently ventured the suggestion that
John F. Kennedy, Jr., may get into
the act before the end of his
father's term.
