THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE
-To Plead for a Return of Constitutional Government-
Vol. b FORT WORTH. TEXAS, SEPTEMBER, 1955 No.9
Unless Errant Ministers Are Re-Converted
To Christianity Republic May Not Survive
(iaw Is Only A Symbol For Looks Like Paris Hot Spots
Cowardice And Dishonesty May Suffer Loss In Revenue
The heads of industry who
meekly knuckled under to the CIO
demand for more pay for less work
are as guilty of racketeering as
Walter Reuther.
In following the line of least
resistance and granting the Guaranteed
Annual Wage, they showed
neither courage, honesty nor concern
for the preservation of the
national economy.
They took the easiest way out,
figuring thereby to avoid a showdown
with Union bosses and, at
the same time, to get their money
back by passing the additional cost
on to the taxpayers through increased
prices of their product.
Their miserable behavior is in
sad contrast to the performance of
that staunch American industrialist,
Herbert V. Kohler of Wisconsin,
who refused to give an inch
toward unreasonable demands,
stood his ground for more than a
year against threats, intimidation
and acts of vandalism on the par~
of CIO union members and who
never gave up until he had whipped
them down to their knees.
It is such courage, back-bone
and stamina as this which is going
to have to be summoned forth
from somewhere if the blackmailing
of American business by labor
union bosses is to be halted.
There is a reliable, but unconfirmed,
report that some members
of Congress did not go to Europe
this summer to "Investigate" the
situation over there.
The report of this phenomenal
behavior probably stemmed from
the fact that only a little more
than a million dollars has been
drawn from the Federal treasury
so far to pay the traveling ex~
penses of vacationing lawmakers.
This would seem to indicate
that, instead of going to Europe,
some of them have decided to go
home and investigate the situation
in their own district- an a r e a
with which they are far less familiar.
The Right To Loaf
New Union Request
Some Union leaders are said to
be readying a demand for a thirtyfive-
hour work week and with the
fast dwindling courage of those
in position to refuse such preposterous
proposals, they may get
just that.
Although we pray that it may
never come, what such persons deserve
is a good full-blown Depression
to help restore their
sense of values.
Fund For The Republic Blasphemes
Good Name Of Original Henry Ford
Thoughtful Ameticans must be greatly troubled over the actiOn
of the Ford family in endowing the Fund for the Republic with fifteen
million dollars and turning it over to a man like Robert M. Hutchins
to be spent as he may direct.
Dr. Hutchins' record of defending Communists and their right to
teach in American institutions of learning is open to all who care to
examine it and there is not the slightest doubt in any informed person's
mind that every project sponsored by this man will be dedicated
to the glorification of those who earnestly advocate the overthrow of
our existing economy and its replacement by a Socialist State.
The Fords owe everything they own to the system of government
which early American patriots set up and which has made this the
strongest and most powerful and respected nation on earth and 011e
which has provided the financial assistance to maintain the Socialist
countries to which Hutchins pays such rapturous tribute.
It is the most arrant display of ingratitude, if not disloyalty,
that this generation has witnessed and provides irrefutable proof that
the integrity, faith and Americanism of the original Henry Ford was
not projected beyond his grave.
And the bitter pill that patriotic Americans must swallow is the
undeniable fact that no man in like financial bracket will match this
fifteen million dollar fund and endow a movement to preserve the
precious heritage which the Fund for the Republic would destroy.
The frightening swing of organized Protestant Churches
away from basic American concepts and their alignment
with international anti-Christian elements openly hostile to
the United States, can no longer be brushed off as a fanciful
Illusion born of alarmists' fears. The time has come when it
must be faced as a terrifying reality fully documented by
their own official pronouncements as they become increas·
ingly bolder in their support of totalitarian and atheistic
proposals. If, as they claim, their existing clerical monopoly
represents 35,000,000 American Protestant church members,
it constitutes a powerful and lethal weapon which could not
only spell the end of the Christian religion in the United
States but could sweep Christian civilization from the face
of the earth.
Since the beginning o{ the Republic, the United States has been
recognized throughout he world as a lu:istian Nation backed by a
basic belief in a Divilte Creator and a land where Christian principles
of government are given expression in the re~ogn.ition of the dignity ~f
the individual and man's God-given right to life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness.
Throughout almost two hundred years of the nation's history, its
moral and spiritual stature has been developed and broadened through
the gentle ministrations and dedicated service of devout Men of the
Cloth even as great and good men in government have sought to pre4
serve and protect its system of sound economy.
Sincere ministers of the Gospel whose sacred mission on earth is
to reclaim weak and wicked humanity from the error of its ways, need
no defense by us or acclaim from any other human source.
Their consecrated calling places them beyond the reach of human
censure and lifts them above the need of human praise.
Without the stabilizing influence of the churches and the ministers
who remain in their pulpits and expound the godly principles for which
the Christian religion stands, this nation could not long survive, and
would revert to disordered anarchy. Religion is the tie which links
man with infinity, inspires belief in immortality of the soul and sustains
faith in an eternal life in the Great Beyond, without which we would
sink to the level of the beast in the jungle.
It is because the church and the clergy dwell in that lofty and exalted
realm of dedicated spiritual service to which civilization assigned
them to provide a beacon light to faltering humanity, that the defection
of even one member of that holy profession, and the resultant demoralization
of his congregation, resounds with a crash that shakes the foundation
of organized human society.
When great numbers default their sacred obligations, the damaga
to moral and Christian ethics is beyond repair.
The National Council of Churches of Christ in the U.S.A., as attested
by their own published documents, has largely abandoned the
Christian ideal of a Kingdom in Heaven in favor of a Utopia on earth.
Its labors in the field of spiritual service have been laid aside in
the interest of its operations in the sphere of government, economics
and world politics.
In bulletins issued from the Council's headquarters in New York,
it endorses the proposal advanced by Red Sympathizers that the
Chinese Communists be admitted to the United Nations; the mutilation
of the McCarran-Walter Immigration Law passed by the Congress
to protect our national security; the integration of the black and white
races, not for the economic advancement of Negroes but for their social
acceptance at all levels including intermarriage; the setting up of a
World Government by the United Nations; a "Christian approach to
Communism" by the people of the United States; co-existence with
Russia and all the other proposals of international propagandists in be-

Millions of Americans Think It--The Southern Conservative Says It

Again Proved That In Politics
You Just Can't Beat The Irish
"Propper·Uppers" Get Gypped Out
Of More Than A Billion Dollars
When the Governor'S Conference
met at Chicago last month
there were press photographs and
interviews to prove that AveriU
was still for Adlai and that everything
was lovey dovey between
them.
Some one should tell the trusting
ex-governor of Illinois and excandidate
for president, that Averill
wasn't totin' fair with him
and that the New Yorker's campaign
for the Fair Deal nomination
was already well under way
even as Averill planted a Judas
kiss on Adlai's rosy cheek.
It's an involved. story but as
we have been able to piece it together,
here it is:
The Catholic War Veterans of
the U.S.A. was organized twenty
years ago with but one objective
and that was to fight Communism
which, as its leaders were able
to discern even at that early date,
\Vas to be the No. 1 menace in
this country. Composed exclusively
of young Catholic GI's, this
great organization didn't include
a word in its declaration of purposes
suggesting that it might later
be diverted away from its original
aims and used as a nucleus
!or launching an ambitious candidate's
campaign for the presidency.
Carmine De Sapia, Tammany
Hall boss, recently named Secretary
of State of New York by Aver11l
Harriman, is a good Catholic
but a better politician.
So, when it was decided last
May that the annual convention
of the Catholic War Veterans
would be held in New York August
17-20, the resourceful Tammany
chieftain went into action
and proved that although his name
is De Sapia, he's no sap.
He had some special letterheads.
of the Catholic War Veterans
struck off which were obviously
for exclusive use in New York and
not out in the hinterlands where
the CWV is still composed of
Catholics and who still think tha~
their only objective is to fight
Communism and subversion.
Among the names which thtt
adroit Mr. De Sapia had sprinkled
profusely among those of the regular
veterans who rightfully belonged
on CWV stationery under
the heading of 11Convention committee",
were such good 11lrish
Catholics" as Herbert Lehman,
Jacob K. Javits, Harry Hershfield,
Bernard P. Gimbel,' Nathaniel L.
Goldstein, Emanuel Celler, Robert
Moses, Harold R. Moskivit and
twelve other loyal Sons of Erin.
By a strange coincidence, it
turned out that all these worthy
representatives of the Emerald
Isle were tacitly committed to tho
nomination of iheir fellow towns~
man for president at Chicago in
August, 1956, and the poor little
Illinois farm boy didn't have a
single friend at court.
This is tough for poor Adlai for
if a gathering of fighting Irish
politicians from strategic population
centers of the country, coupl~
ed with a liberal sprinkling of
members of a more financially·
powerful-race, is not the ideal setting
for the successful launching
of a presidential campaign, it will
do until a better one is invented.
In the August 25th edition of
Jet, a Negro magazine appears this
quotation from a retired Negro
1tett•spaper publisher in Ok1ahmna,
Roscoe Dunjee: uMy honest judgment
is that if1stead of the white
race absorbing the Negro mce, the

Experts Make Big Cheese Deal
Which Is Binding On Taxpayers
Why They Call It
The So lid South Another of those brilliant
strokes of genius which demonstrate
the outstanding business
ability of Washington Bureaucrats
has been brought to light.
During and after March of 1954,
the Department of Agriculture,
acting under the authority of the
price support law bought 80 million
pounds of cheese from several
companies, including Kraft, Borden,
H. J. Heinz, A&P Stores and
several other financially underprivileged
concerns.
The purpose of the purchase Was
to keep the price up and prevent
these poor little infant industries
from having to face competition
in the open market, a possibility
which is abhorrent in the view
of our best economic experts.
The Department bought the
cheese at 37 cents per pound but
later found they didn't need it,
didn't want it and couldn't use it.
Besides, they didn't have any
place to put it.
It was at this point that the
latent talent of the experts in
the Agricultural Department for
conducting profitable financial
transactions was brought into
play.
Following some quick thinking,
the experts called up these same
concerns and sold the cheese back
to them at a price which ranged
all the way from 341h to 35~~
cents per pound.
The neat trick about the whole
thing was that there were no
transportation charges involved
since the cheese hadn't yet been
delivered and was still in the same
place it had been from the start.
Only two million dollars were
lost in the deal which is way below
par for the course and taxpayers
should be grateful that
these alert and wide-awake public
servants are on the job looking out
for their intere_sts_. ----
Stop Thief! We Want
To Frisk Your Wallet
Any poor sap who has the bright
idea that he can escape the
clutches of Washington tax-grabbers
by moving to another country
is in for a shock.
The Bureau of Internal Revenue
has announced that it is setting up
an "international division" and
that they are going to chase fleeing
Americans across the ocean
and shake them down no matter
where they have taken up their
residence.
The reason the poor boobs left
here was probably to get away
from the "revenoors" but now
they are finding out that the
American tax law imposes a life
sentence and demands payment
no matter where they go. Its
strong arm squad will hound them
to the ends of the earth and the
only way to escape is to dump all
earthly possessions in the ocean -
and jump in after them.
The Federal government needs
the money and needs it bad. We've
got about forty other nations to
support and we can't let 'em down
even if we have to bleed our own
citizens white.
Not that the Bureau has asked
us for advice, but we respectfully
suggest that there is an easier way
to get money and that is to make
the tax-dodgers in the Ford, Rockefeller
and Carnegie Foundations
We, The People To
Speak At Chicago
Under the title of We, The
People, a group of Americans from
many states concerned in the
threat to Constitutional government
posed by the far-to-the-left
leadership in both major parties,
will meet in Chicago September
17-18 at the CQJlrad Hilton Hotel
for what is predicted by the sponsors
as a session of "two-actionpacked
days."
Preliminary preparationS for
the meeting include a tentative
outline of the proposed subjects
to be discussed which includes the
limitation of the powers of government
as provided in the Constitution;
the division of power as
between the three separate branches
of government; encroachment
of the Federal government on the
Rights of the States; limitation
of the taxing power of Congress;
treaty-making powers of Congress
and the Executive and many other
subjects, all of which are of vital
interest to Americans who desire
to perpetuate existing Constitutional
government and oppose the
strong efforts currently being
made to switch to a total Socialist
(A long-time subscriber in New Orleans writes us: "In one or your
earliest editions, you had an editorial about 'The Solid South' which I think
would be especially appropriate now if you would reproduce it." T.hc editorial
referred to appeared in the January 1950, edition and follows - Editot)
Above and beyond political considerations which no longer exist,
there's a reason for calling it the "Solid South."
Together the people of Dixie have undergone many vicissitudes
and humiliations both at the hand of nature and of man.
Southerners Jived, somehow, through the horrors of Civil \Var
and the tragedy of carpet baggers, degrading poverty and Reconstruction
Days.
They have suffered and survived attacks of various plagues. pests
and persons including yellow fever, drought, grassboppers, the boll
weevil and Eleanor Roosevelt.
Millions of us have been disinherited by the p~rty of our fathers
and have been compelled, like lost souls, to wander in the political wilderness
without an altar on which to lay our faith or an anchor for
our allegiance.
Other millions of us have strayed of( after strange political gods
and have worshipped at alien shrines in a peculiar gesture of loyalty to
an empty label and to the ghost or a party which lives only in name.
But when a common enemy attacks and threatens to shatter the
dignity of our daily pattern of life, we usually drift back together
again and present a united front.
Perhaps this is because of some faint lingering trace of the old
Rebel spirit which refused to completely surrender when the bayonets
were stacked at Appomattox and the Confederate Flag dipped its colors
in a last salute.
Any way, that's how it is down in Dixie and when the Civil
Rights menace rears its ugly head in Congress again, all good Southerners
will fall in line, shoulder the old musket.and come out "a shootin'."
That's why they call it the "Solid South".

subtle effort to change the whole
form and make-up of the American
government.
They not only should be forced
to pay taxes like everybody else
but should be enjoined from subsidizing
any more subversive
movements or individuals.
The figures given in the Post were from official health agencies
which had' made a survey and were limited to children below seventeen
years of age and showed that in the City of Washington there were
532 cases of gonorrhea among juveniles and that of this number 523
were Negro children and 9 white children. The survey took into account
only the reported cases for the first six months of 1954 and did
not of course include cases not reported to medical authorities.
Following the release of these figures, .. the exodus of white families
out of the Capital into adjoining States where segregation still prevails
in the schools, was even greater than in previous months when
they moved out in droves to avoid complying with the ruling Mr.
Warren is generally believed to have engineered as payment for his
appointment to a soft lifetime job.
The Post figures were picked up by the American States Rights
Association and by "Alabama" the "News Magazine of the Deep
South" for circulation throughout Dixie which is the heaviest potential
victim of the Supreme Court's ill-considered decision.
Sanitation and hygiene are practically unknown among large
segments of Negroes in the South and gonorrhea is largely regarded by
them as little more serious than a bad cold. While Southerners are
deeply sympathetic of colored children who contract this repulsive disease
from the carelessness of their elders, they don't want this unspeakable
malady spread among their own little boys and girls.
And they are going to fight to the last ditch to prevent it and
especially in Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama and other States of the
Deep South where thest! horrifying conditions prevail to an even
greater extent than in Texas.

THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE September, 1955
What Price Cilory Or Who Dropped No Authority On Children So
Wise As ThoseWhoHaveNone
The Frog In The Tomato Aspic?
There is a striking difference in the performance of good Americans
and the behavior of domestic Reds as members of the respective
organizations to which they each belong and it is this difference which
is responsible for the advantage which the subversives hold in their
efforts to advance the Soviet cause in this country.
''Divide and Conquer" is the old reliable, time-tested slogan employed
by shrewd left-wingers in outsmarting American patriots who
undertake to combat them and it offers a sure-fire formula for outwitting
the enemy, a fact that some members of patriotic organizations
~~~~~n~eem to grasp and especially those composed exclusively of
For instance, an active, intelligent and energetic group of wellintentioned
women, seriously concerned over vanishing Americanism
will form an organization with a comprehensive and well-planned program
designed to inform other women and enlist them in an effort to
alert the citizens of the Republic to this danger.
By and large these women are informed, conscientious and wellbalanced
and are motivated only by a common desire to render a useful,
selfless and patriotic service in behalf of sound principles of government.
But, unfortunately, human nature is so constituted that it is
practically impossible to assemble a large and unwieldly number of
women into one single unit without including a few specimens of the
fair and gentle sex who are born with an inner compulsion to throw
an egg in the electric fan or drop a frog in the tomato aspic.
To such women, it is a form of human torture to witness a smoothrunning
apparatus in operation and in their particular design for living
only those have scaled the .heights of glory who are able to throw the
switch and wreck the freight from cowcatcher to caboose.
An organization may be functioning with the speed and precision
of a diesel engine ke'eping to its course and headed straight for the
goal ahead.
Then suddenly, through mysterious and secret channels available
only to her, Mary Smith learns that Maggie Jones' step-father once
bolted the regular party ticket and voted for the Mugwump candidate
for president, causing serious doubt in Mary's mind about Maggie's
fitness to remain a member of the organization.
Meantime Maggie has been informed by equally reliable sources
that long ago, before marrying John Smith, Mary was the wife of a
man who worshipped with the cult of the Jumping Jehoshaphats which
definitely convinces Maggie that Mary should resign from the organization
at once.
At home, telephones begin to jingle and tongues to wag and before
long all those of the group who go in for such divisive methods and
are easily side-tracked from the main line choose up, take sides and
decide to fight it out
If these disruptive tactics become public information, it can reflect
on the good name of the organization and completely cancel out
its capacity for service in the cause to which it is dedicated, unless
clear-headed leaders decide to accept a few resignations, cut away
the dead timber and get on with the job.
There is no class or group of citizenship in the United States which
is rendering more valuable service in the current fight for the restoration
of Constitutional government than the clear-thinking afld intelligent
women who have banded themselves into organizations committed
to this objective and there are none who can louse up the works
quic~er and more effectively than their opposite numbers who are disqualified
b!' nature from participating in any form of organized activity.
The Pmk Ladies in subversive organizations may hate each other
too and sometimes want to scratch and claw like Kilkenny cats but
they stifle the impulse, stick together and fight their way toward their
mutual goal.

''The South's Segregation problem

This startling proposal was not
made by the NAACP nor even the
Daily Worker, but by Miss Waurine
Walker, president until recently
of the National Education
Association, as quoted by the San
Diego Union September 21, 1954
when Miss Walker spoke in that
city.
Tearing a child away from its
parents and home influence as a
means of indoctrinating its mind
with alien propaganda would seem
to be a rather ghastly and cruel
proceeding and one which could
not be suggested by any American
except those fully steeped in
UNESCO and NEA doctrine.

The Only Way He Can Help
The Cause Is To Get Lost
Up in Mackinac Island, Michigan,
recently the little man from
Independence, Missouri, ranted
and raved to a gathering of Fair
Dealers against the present administration
for favoring rich men by
reducing their taxes. This will no
doubt be a pleasant surprise to
"rich men" who didn't know they
had been the recipients of this
boon.
Of course his listeners were expected
to, and probablY did, forget
~ that the little pinhead himself is
a rich man-not through his own
ability but by grace of Boss Pendergast's
corrupt political machine
which boosted him into the big
money after he had failed ignominiously
in private business.
If left to his own resources, he
would probably have ended up in
Skid Row instead of the Senate
a11d the White House.
It is rumored that even the most
dedicated liberals in his own party
tremble every time he opens his
mouth and are fervently praying
for him io come down with an
acute case of lockjaw until after
the 1956 election is over.
We admit that we are out of
line with the thinking of politicians
cun-ently in power and that
our philosophy is as out-moded as
mustache cups, buqgy whips and
bustles but, somehow. we just
can't keep fron~ liking while people

"rights'' now bei~g so generously

lots of them and they are nice
people, really. If our leaders in
Washington would just cultivate a
few of them, we believe they
would be convinced that this m-inority
group is worthy of some
little measure of consideration,
and that further discrimination
against them will result in giving
them an inferiority complex, a
sense of frustration and a reali:at~
o?t that they are second-clas!

September, 1955 THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE PageS
Groups Committed To Americanism Are
Springing Up All Over The Country
We Just Can't Decide Whether
We're Going To Kiss Or Kill
Something that warms the
hearts of all good Americans is
the increasing interests of the people
in the state of the union and
the setting up of new organizations
by responsible citizens who
are genuinely alarmed over the
long strides toward national Socialism
in preparation for eventual
World Government and are
determined to do their bit to prevent
it.
We have been greatly .honored
by the confidence reposed in us
by representatives of ~ certain
group of business execuhves, professional
men and civic leaders
whose standing in their respective
communities is beyond question
who have allowed us to review
their tentative plans and personnel
in a proposed movement
which cannot fail to command respect
from our national leaders.
Smalle;r groups are constantly
being organized in various sections
of the country and while the
methods of each may differ, all
are entitled to consideration because
of the worthy objective
which they seek.
While we never join personally
with any group, organization or
movement, we are heartily for
each and every one of them and
within the limits of our ability
and resources, will do anything we
can to encourage any body of citizens
whose overall purpose is the
preservation of the American
form of government against its
enemies who would destroy it.
One of the greatest handicaps to
such movements is the attitude of
those who are in position to support
such'" moveme.nts financially
even though they may not have
the time to personally take part.
Too often such persons are willing
to help to any extent if Only they
can claim tax exemption for their
contributions.
Well, they can't do it unless
such organizatiOn is willing to limit
its activities to "educational"
purposes and that won't get the
job done. There has already been
too much "education" of the
wrong kind by government, educational,
religious and assorted
propagandists and what the American
people need now is to be
"un-educated" and informed of
the practical facts of life and what
is facing them in the matter of
totalitarian government if they
don't cleanse their mind of a
twenty-years' collection of tripe
and start thinking straight and
acting sanely.
By refusing to cooperate unless
given the right to deduct their
donation, these big money boys
may save a few dollars in tax
money but they may also find one
day that they were not saving it
for themselves, their children or
their children's children, but for
some totalitarian boss who is not
interested in seeing that they get
tax exemption or anything else
except the axe.
The argument mainly used in
favor of approval of the raise in
the salary of Congnssmen during
the last session to $22,500 per
year, or 1·ather for six or seven
month's work, was that we could
expect a higher type man to represent
us in Washington for this
increased salary. However, we
have not heard of any Congressman
now on the job who has announced
that he will 1·etire and
give the "higher type., man a
chance,
------------------------------
It's A Rotten Joke
Throw The
On his return to Texas from
Washington recently, a Texas
Congressman with a perverted
sense of humor, made a prediction
in the press which many who read
it pronounced as a very poor specimen
of a very lousy joke.
He insisted that be had infox:mation
"from a highly reliable
source" that, in the event Mr.
Dwight D. Eisenhower does not
run for a second term, the Republicans
have a replacement and will
put on .the ticket-of all peoplehis
brother, Milton Eisenhower.
It's. always been said, of course,
that things have to get worse before
they can get better but we
don't believe it was ever intended
that they get tHat bad.
The Congressman's name is the
Honorable Walter Rogers of Tampa
and we hope all his children
turn out to be Dewey Republicans.
It would serve him right.
A Great Milestone In
History Is Recorded·
There has been widespread dissatisfaction
because of the failure
of the Eisenhower administration
to live up to its 1952 campaign
promise~ but this minor defection.
will probably be forgiven when
the American people realize the
full import of a heretofore unr
eve ale d accomplishment, of
world-Shaking proportions, f o r
which the administration claims
credit.
Heart-w a r m i n g information
about this notable achievement is
contained in a bulletin just released
by the Republican National
Committee from its headquarters
in Washington.
The President has so changed
the social and cultural pattern in
the city of Washington that it finally
has the approval of Dr. Ralph
Bunche who says that he wouldn't
mind living there now, this bulletin
tells us.
In order that the American people
may grasp the full meaning
of this complete reversal of attitude
on the part of a world citizen,
the bulletin adds: "In 1950,
during the Truman administration,
Dr. Bunche refused to live
in Washington because of racial
discrimination."
We feel sure that the attainment
of this exalted goal will out-weigh
every other consideration and
more than compensate the American
taxpayers for an un-balanced
budget, an increasing national
debt, lack of tax reduction, stepped-
up foreign spending and all
the other un-fulfilled promises
concerning unimportant matters
on which some 31,000,000 voters
pinned their hopes.
For perhaps the first time in
history, Texas has had it all ove1·
California in the matter of weather.
While pictures were appem·ing
in the p1·ess on September first
showing a?t egg being fried on the
sidewalk in Los Angeles during
110 defiree temperature reading.
Fort Worth was enjoying a cool
62 degree at five in the morning.
Texans will brag about this for a
long time for it_ "I:ViH probably
never lwppen agam.
Bum Out
One thing that is hard to accept
in the brave new world the planners
are preparing for us and that
is the fact that in many parts of
the world, frontiers are inviolable.
Let an innocent straggler step over
the border of many countries and
he is either shot down or 1tauled
off to prison. Time was when tom·ists
and visitors were welcom.ed
in every country of the world. But
that was before we sta1·ted med
·dling in the affab·S" of all nations
and before we had a World. Government
in New Yo1·k dedtcated
to "peace", be-fore we had "world
brotherhood" movements, world
church groups, and wo1·ld this and
world that. In short when we eaGh
attended to our own business and
the world was a more decent place
in which to live.
Proposal To Abolish Free
Speech Seriously Debated
A proposal that Federal legislation
be enacted which would ~ake
it a felony for any private Clbzen
to so much as suggest ways to
avoid integration in the schools,
was under consideration by ~ ~ubcommittee
of the House Jud1c1ary
when Congress adjou1·ned.
This information was released
by Herman Talmadg~' s Statesm~n,
published in Hapeville, Georgw.
:~~d~~?Y f~~·w~~a;~r ~~n p~~~r;h ~~~~
very startling news.
This proposal was made by
Judge Daniel A. Rose, chairman of
the National Civil Rights Committee,
to Subcommittee No. 2 of
House Judiciary Committee. Rose
was backed up in this proposal by
a Negro called Roy Wilkins. one
of the few comparatively colored
officials of NAACP.
The amazing thing was not the
proposal, co m i n g from such
sources, but that a Committee of
Congress would dignify it by holding
long hearings on it which they
did. It was furthermore reported
by informed sources that it will
be taken up in the next Congress
where Democrats and Republicans
are expected to vie with each other
in groveling in the dirt in an
effort to corral Negro votes in the
North and East.
What decent Americans had
better do is ride herd on the next
Congress to see that the whole
Constitution, with its freedom of
speech, press and all other rights,
is not thrown out the windoW during
this rat race of small men to
perpetuate themselves in office by
fair means or foul.
In Octobe1· the Mutual Broadcasting
Company will start carrying
the "As I See It"' program featuring
Fmnk Kirkpatrick in a
series of political essays on Americanism.
These broadcasts will be
heard on app1·o:timately 450 stations
in a nation-wide hookup and
from the reputation of Mr. Kirkpatrick
as a loyal American and
defender of Constitutionat government,

antidote to the subversive propagand.
a so frequently flooding the
air u.:aves these days.
Things happen too fast these
days for us to keep pace with
events as they unfold on the international
level.
We have tried earnestly to accept
the attitude of sweetness and
light on the part of the Russians
toward the U. S. and to understand
all the billing and cooing
that went on in Geneva and the
visiting back and forth between
American and Muscovite citizens
but just as we Were feeling real
cozy about it all, we got a terrible
shock.
An Associated Press release
from Washington on August 24th,
informed us that plans are being
developed in the Capitol for putt
ing the government and the nat
ion's economy on an immediate
war footing if the need should
arise. It said that the Office oS...
Defense Mobilization had these
plans worked out and that standby
orders had been drafted freezing
prices, wages and rents, setting up
food rationing and taking control
of radio, telegraph and telephones.
One minute Washington of!ic•
ials lead us to believe that the
octension was eased" by the Geneva
conference and the next they
tell us they are preparing to put
the nation's economy on a war
basis "if necessary.'' Russia is the
only one likely to make it "necessary"
which indicates to us, that
we are just where we were before
the "summit" talks.
It's too bad too, because we
were preparing to follow the current
trend of buddying up to the
Bolsheviks and were figuring on
sending some pressed peonies and
candy hearts to Bulganin as a
gesture of good will.
Another Internationalist
Body Looms On The Horizon
An Associated Press story from
Ceylon, an island in the Indian Ocean,
says that President Eisenhower has
promised "to support a proposal that
the United States convene a World
Parliament of Religions." .....
The article quotes G. P. 1\Talalasckcra
of the University of Ceylon
as announcing on his recent return
from the United States tbalhediscussed
the proposal with Seerctnry of
State John Foster Dulles and that
all that is needed now is to work
outthcpracticaldelails.
1\!Ialal<."lsckcra . said the Parliament
would probably· be "summon('d" to
meet at the end of l!l57 and that
Dulles had suggested it be held in
San Foanciseo.
This World Parliament of Religions,
of course, will be another spoke in
the wheel of internationalism and
true religion and Christian principles
and morality will be no more a part
of its objectives than they are of
similar world groups disguised as
religious bodies but which are, in
reality, subversive political units committed
to one-world government
Nothing was said about it in the
dispatch from Ceylon but it's dolla""
to doughnuts that either the Ford,
Rockefeller or Carnegie Foundations
will put up the millions to Iin:mce it.
To most Americans, it must

Wanen to taking any hand in

to commemorate the 200th
anniversary of the birth of John
Marshall, the great Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court [1·om 1801

deep and abiding faith in th~
American Constitution.
THE SOUTHERN CON S ERVATIVE September, 1955
A Practical Way To Put A Quick "Mental Health" Is Coming To Be
End To Subversive Organizations A Phrase Of Fearful Meaning
No American of normal mind really
feels that the possession ot wealth is
the evil and sinister thing current
Socialist propaganda in this country
pictures it.
Any mortal man or woman who
prefers poverty to riches is a fit sub·
ject for an insane asylum.
It used to be charged that if a Socla1ist
came into possession of as much
as five thousand dollars, he became
a Capitalist overnight and forgot all
about "sharing the wealth," but that
was before rich men became converts
to Roosevelt's Socialist program and
pitched in to help him make this a
Socialist nation.
It is understandable how a person
brought up in ignorance and with
no understanding of the American
form of government could become so
mentally warped as to accept the
phony ideals which Socialism and its
twin, Communism, hold out, but the
most contemptible specimen of hu·
manily on the face of earth is a person
of wealth who dishonors the
Free Enterprise System which allowed
his wealth to be accumulated, by donating
money to organization! com·

those who have a plentiful supply of
this world's goods. Why they contribute
to these outfits is the unsolved
mystery of th£> age! and the reason
why the Republic is threatened with
replacement by a totalitarian form of
govcrnment.
We know of instances of contributions
of huge amounts by good Americans
to universities which are honeycombed
With subversives who a re

that Marx and Engels had the right

such educational institutions whose
privnte joke between each other is
that they are able to put the bite on
''Reactionaries and Conservatives" for
the money which enables them to
promote the opposite theories to those
in which these suckers fervently believe.
How any Americans could be
·smart enough to amass a vast fortune
and, at the same lime, stupid enough
to give it away to those who would

Men o! wealth have a greater re·

Hs greatest beneficiaries, and the power
to end subv~sion lies largely with
them through their influence and
wealth.
They can do th~ by refusing to

they have such institutions irrevocably
committed to a curricula of
Americanism and written pledge that
such program will be continued. Also,
they can accomplish this end by refusing
to give a thin dime to ministers
who preach the Social Gospel from
the pulpit and by sitting on their
hands when representatives of subversive
groups and organizations
come 'o1iciting funds just as they now
do when approached by patriotic
Americans for badly-needed help,
Maybe a,e information has been
made available to taxpayers about
how much the "summit" talks at
Geneva cost them but if so, we
have not seen it. It was reported
by the press at the time that 225
persons were in the delegation.
Business concerns require that expense
accounts be turned in and
surely taxpayers are entitled to
know how their money is spent.
Southerners Can Be Pushed
So Far And No Further
Attorney General Brownell says,
accqrding to the Associated Press. that
he will first have to determine whether
the Federal government has jurisdiction
in the case, before barging
into Mississippi to investigate their
recent State election. He indicated
that he didn 't know whether he had
any Constitutional authority to probe
into the que,tion of the violation of
the civil rights of Negroes in that
election, or not.
We shouldn't think he would let a
little thing like that stop him - just
the mere fact that he had no Constitutional
right. What is a little thing
like the Constitution among friends
any way, and especially if the civil
rights of Negroes are involved? Now
ii it were merely white people, that
would be dillerent and he might be
barred by the Constitution from
muscling into the act.
The Supreme Court has set a precedent
and we arc surprised that the
Attorney General should even question
the Federal government's autitority
to go anywhere and do anything,
We hope they let up on all this disgusting
interference by Washington
in the a!!airs of the states, before
something happens that all or us will
regret.
The temper of Southerners is getting
no better fast, and i! they keep
on pushing and shoving white people
around in efforts to appease NAACP,

A Striking Steel Worker

Our congratulations to Mrs. Esther
Quigley of Chicago who went
on strike against her husband who
was striking against his employer,
and who, from all accounts, has
a lot more sense than the head
of the house.
She locked the door of their

only when he went back to work
and started drawing a pay 'Check
again.
Officials of the strike-bound
company, Harrison Steel, meantime
had told the strikers that unless
they came back to work by a
certain time, the company would
fold up and go out of business.
They came.
It seems to us that the heads of
the company and Mrs, Quigley are
level-headed and responsible Americans

the hands of our leaders ." - J.
Bracken Lee, Governor of Utah.
Some statistically-minded person
has figured that, during the
si.-r months of the 84th Congress,
the members of the Senate used
approximatelu12,000,000 words in
addresses and debate in that body
while members of the House delivered
themselves of approximately
8,000,000 words. That
seems like an awful lot of mileage
to run up on hmn.an tongues but
the $64 dollar question is: "While
doing all this talking, did they
say anything"?
A desire to restore and preserve
the mental health or a nation's people
is, of course, a noble impulse and a
project with which all good citizens
are In hearty accord. In the hands ol
the wrong persons, however, such proposals
have a dangerous connotation
which suggests extreme caution in
dealing with the subject.
There were several factors in connection
with the movement along this
line which sprang up within recent
years. and which engendered suspicion
on the part of those who have
learned by sad experience to always
look for "the Nigger in the woodpile"
in connection with these spontaneous
activities "for the public good"-and
who have usually found one.
The first questionable incident was
a fifteen million dollar subsidy from
the Ford Foundation for a study of
the subject, Ford economists and research
scientists being what· they are.
There were also a flood of "mental
health" bills introduced in various
State legislatures, including one in
Congress providing !or a "President's
Commission on Mental Health", to be
composed of eighteen members appointed
by the President but who
would have, of course, been chosen by
his advisers who have been known
to make some odd selections.
The propagada for passage of "mental
health" bills by State legislatures
was overpowering in the immensity
of its volume, and included aroundthe-
clock spot announcements over
radio and television, tons of literature
which deluged the lawmakers, billboard
advertising, newspaper editorials,
lectures and all the other familiar

These bills were of a startling simi·

What a break for a lucky stiff serving

Perhaps the most revealing incident
in connection with the movement and
which helped to defeat the measure in
California, was a pamphlet said to
be written by one Halleck Hoffman
and widely circulated by the Friends
Service Committee. This social-minded
eager beaver is the Son of Paul
G. Hoffman and promises to go his old
man one better in the graceful art of
"do-gooding" on an unlimited and unrestricted
scale.
In this pamphlet young Hoffman
undertook to pinch-hit as a psychiatrist
and analyze "What makes a
super-patriot a super-patriot"? This
little squirt offered the gratuitous suggestion
that "understanding such people
may enable us to help them" and
explained the symptoms indicating
that these "super-patriots" are suffering
from poor "mental health." They

out which indicated clearly to him
that they suffer from a "paranoid delusion".
This twisted twig from a badly
bent tree urged "friendly and loving
attitude toward such mentally ill
persons".
This adolescent outburst from a
left-wing amoeba is claimed to have
set the cause of "mental health" back

But the haunting memory of our

The only time when Communists
arc sincere is in their published documents
outlining their plans for conquering
the United States and other
countries not yet behind the Iron Curtain,
such as a statement from Stalin
revealing the treachery of the Bol·
sheviks in dealing with other nations.
This statement is found in vol. 11,
page 277 of a publication called "Elec-lions
in Petersburg" published Janu·
ary 12,1913 in Moscow, and re-issued
in 1946, in which Stalin is quoted as
saying: "A diplomat's words must
have no relation to action - otherwise
what kind of diplomacy is it?
Words are one thing, actions another.
Good words arc a mask for
the concealment of bad deeds. Sincere
diplomacy is no more possible than
dry water or iron wood."
What a strict interpretation of Bulganin's
"good words" at Geneva and
the Communists' "bad deeds" in later
shooting down planes carrying American
citizens! ! !
What political Babes in the Woods
the American people have for leaders!
! ! And how can the Republic be

The City Council of the small city
of Baxley, Georgia, has passed an
ordinance which provides that before
any one can solicit members for "any
organization of any sort" application
must be made to the Council for a
permit.
The ordinance further provides that
if the solicitor is "a salaried employe
or orticcr of the organization !or
which he seeks members", he shall
pay $2,000 for his license and $500
:for each member signed up.
The Saturday Evening Post made
violent editorial objection to this ordinance
and claimed it was aimed directly
at labor union organizers.

Council deserves a medal for thC'y arc

Hoodlums Of Entertainment
World Defy Investigators
When the Walter Committee of
Congress opened its hearings in New
York recently, stage and screen hoodlums
defiantly refused to answer
questions as to their Communist connections
and one loud-mouthed character
shouted abuse at members of
the committee as rowdy spectators
cheered loudly.
No one was very much surprised at
the behavior of the witnesses since
Congress itself has gone on record as
favoring subversives and extending
every possible protection to those who
seek to overthrow the American government.
Very little cooperation with
the chairman and members of investigating
committees by witnesses i!!l
expected in future, thanks to the
strong sentiment against exposure of
Communists demonstrated in the past
by our top-bracket lawmakers.
Any way, any hearing on the subject
held in New York has two strikes
on it to start and such undertaking
is much like conducting a similar
probe in the city of Moscow.
The actors appearing before the
committee were mostly third-rate performers
who didn't hesitate to usa
the occasion to hog a little free publicity
and ham it up all over the
place. Particularly disgusting was the
behavior of a horse-faced actress
named Sarah Cunningham and who,
after hiding behind the fifth amendment
rushed out to pose proudly for
photographers grinning from ear to
ear.
At next day's session an actor,
George Hall, had the decency to admit
that he had been a Communist
party member but had renounced it
afte~ nine months. He told the committee,
under oath, that the Cunningham
woman was a member of
the same Communist cell to which
he belonged.
An ironic slant to the proceedings
was the simultaneous release of a
revised report on the number of
American boys who were killed by
their barbarian captors in Communist
prison camps in Red China, the same
barbarians which these cheap hams
from Broadway were defending by
hiding behind the fifth amendment.
These are of the same breed of cattle
that McCarthy had to deal with
and because he knew how to handle
them, he incurred the everlasting enmity
of their sympathizers in Congress.
SOME CHOICE QUOTATIONS

uNo white worker is deserving
of the name of Communist unless

race prejudice among the workers
... "
uA Soviet Govc:rnment must
confer greater benefits upon the
Negroes than upon the whites for

This is the real test of equality.
This is the only way that the basis
for real equality can be established

"Any act of discrimination or
of prejudice against a Negro will
become a crime under the revolutionary
law. The basis of race pre;
udice will no longer exist because
capitalism will no longer exist
.• , Then it will no longer be a
question of wiping out the basis
for such prejudice, but of merely

THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE
Texans Will Fight To The Last
Ditch To Preserve Segregation
There's a rainbow of hope in the dark "integration" sky in Texas.
The courageous spirit of Texas manhood which had been somewhat
dulled by more than twenty years of imported propaganda,
brought into this country by way of Washington, is re-asserting itself
and definite steps are being taken to counter the worst blow directed
against the South since the Civil War.
The Attorney General of Texas has warned school boards who
had ordered integration this Fall that this step violates the Constitu ..
tion and the 1aws of Texas and that if they persist in this course, they
risk receiving no State funds for operational expenses.
A Committee appointed by the Governor to study the situation has
reached the same conclusion and issued a public statement that segregation
in the schools is still the law of Texas.
Following the Supreme Court's ruling which applied only to certain
Negro ~hildren in Virginia, South Carolina, Delaware, Kansas and
the District of Columbia, the NAACP, composed partly of Negroes
but mostly o( rich white trash, saw a chance to put a fast one over.
They gave the South the rush act, with their attorneys and representatives
spilling out into each State and insisting that de-segregation was
now the law of the land. They were about to get by with it when
the people of Texas, as well as its officials waked up and went into
action.
As a result of this awaketling, Citizens Councils have sprung up
in many sections of the State composed largely of parents whose chil~
dren would be affected by integration and who have joined these organizations
in order to do everything within legal limits to prevent
this tragedy from being visited on the schools, now or in the future.
A majority of school boards throughout the State have taken the
position that segregation will continue in the 1955 school term, pending
further clarification of the subject.
It is true that a district judge in Big Spring, Texas, who is a convert
to racial deviation, ruled recently that the law of Texas which allocates
money to schools on a segregated basis is illegal but this ruling has
served to stiffen the spines of Texans who expect to exhaust every
legal resource in preserving segregation and prevent, if possible, hotheaded
and illegal organizations from taking the matter into their
own hands.
The turning of the tide from abject surrender to active resistance
is believed to have been inspired largely .by the insolent and overbearing
attitude of the br own boys in this National Association for the
Agitation of Colored P eople who got drunk on what they thought was
power of their race over white people's i ns titu tions and who acted
accordingly.
The people o( Texas, like those of the Deep South, have a1ways
been extremely fond of good Negroes and have been their best, and
only, friends among the people of the forty-eight States of the American
Union.
But in the final analysis and when the chips are down, they just
don't go much for arrogant Mulattoes who come barging into the
State from out of the East making threats, giving out insulting interviews
through the press and issuing orders to school boards, before
rolling away in long black Cadillacs.
This big-shot behavior back-fired with a bang that reverberated
throughout the State and provided a needed shot-in-the-arm to apathetic
Texans and served as a warning of what the future might hold
unless the citizens went into action and asserted their Constitutibnal
rights. They are doing that now.
While the matter is far from settled, it is now clear that Texas,
along with other States in the South, will exhaust every legal resource
available in resisting the attempt of a Marxist-conscious Supreme
Court to bring about mongrelization of the white race by judicial ruling.
A Powerful Potential Force Which
Could Change The Course Of History
We are advised by those whose opinions are backed by several
years of research on the subject that there are in the United States at
this time approximately 28 million politically displaced Americans.
They were abandoned and left without political afCiliations when
both the Democratic and Republican Parties were absorbed by the
Socialist party. Holding definite and inflexible convictions on principles
of government, they have refused to accept the lesser of two
evils in voting for a candidate for president and have chosen instead
to stay away from the polls in the last several national elections.
They are men and women who have never been, and could not be,
tempted to become associated with Communist front organizations or
to engage in any type of subversive activity against their country and
are able to recognize Kremlin propaganda no matter how subtle or
cleverly disguised.
They share with all good Americans a feeling of Q.isgust and contempt
for such groups as Americans for Democratic Action, NAACP,
American Education Association, National Council of Churches and
other propaganda transmission belts but continue to remain aloof and
do nothing about it.
In brief, they constitute a powerful potential political bloc which,
if it could be mobilized into a solid unit, would be able to cleanse both
major parties of corruption, control both national conventions and
restore Constitutional government in the United S tates.

No matter which political Party is

year is a good year 1or taxpayers.
This is always the year just before
the national election when party leaders
get out the old party platform,
dust it off, bone up on what It said
and start giving out interviews saying
they are now going to do the things
they promised to do 1our yean be·

They are, they swear, going to ba14

a program of economy In government.
They never do it, of course, and as
soon as the election is over, they !ile
their campaign promises away for
another four years, but it sure sounds
good and often they get so enthused
and worked up about it all that they
almost believe what they're saying.
Take the "wartime" taxes that
women have to pay on purses, cosmetics,
jewelry and practically every~
thing else except the food they cat
and the clothes they wear.
This was a "temporary'' tax and
was going to be repealed right alter
the war. If memory serves, the war
has been over ten years and during
that ten years we have given away
billions to all countries who would
agree to accept it but we just couldn't
afford to reduce wartime "luxury
taxes," at home.
But to compensate us, this Is the
good year we are living through now
and even though there probably won't
be any tax reduction, it's wonderful
to think there will be and to live In
anticipation and hope.
In fact, if it were not !or this "good

Racial Deviates Try To Make
Something Out Of Nothing
How fully many newspapers in Tex4
as and throughout the country have
succumbed to the influence and propa~
ganda of the NAACP was demonstrated
in a disgusting Incident at the
Houston airport during August.
An Indian government official and
his secretary were passing through
Texas enroutc to Mexico in a plane
which landed at the international airport
in Houston. Since both men were
black, and since Texas law demanded
that blacks and whites must not be
served in the same dining room, the
two Indians were shown into a private
dining room reserved for Negroes
by the airport waitress when they
went into lunch. Her name was Mrs.
Mary Alley and she was merely carrying
out her duties since she had
no way of knowing the two men were
not what they appeared to be.
No harm was done in the least. In
fact, both men got the impression
that they were being shown special
consideration by being given a private
room in which to be served, and left
on their plane still laboring under
this assumption.
The incident should have ended
there and would have except that it
offered too much of an opportunity
for propaganda and the newspapers
went to town on it. It was blown up
into an affair out of all proportion to
its importance and appeared on the
front pages of newspapers for days
on end and it was hinted that it might
develop into an "international incident."
Houston's mayor even got into the
act and demanded an investigation
even though he, himself, was at the
moment under investigation in connection
with alleged irregularities and
corruption in his administration and
threatened with Impeachment.
The only one who behaved with
dignity and common sense in the
whole performance was the waitress,
Mrs. Mary Alley.
