Washington Will Have To
T ink Hard To Beat This
Thoughtful Americans have long contended that Washington is
engaged in more fool projects which do not come within the scope of
a government's jurisdiction than any other locality on earth but now
they are not so sure.
France has gone us one better and has come up with a honey
which holds the record at least until our great leaders dream up somethifl:
g to top that nation's new venture in Social Service.
Whereas in this country our statesmen have been content to follow
the teachings of Karl Marx and have succeeded in re-distributing the
wealth of ~the citizens, the DeGaullist government has set out to redistribute
the sex appeal of its women which - in defiance of all recognized
economic and social considerations - seems to be concentrated
in the city of Paris.
The motive behind this bizarre and amazing governmental undertaking
lies in the fact that thousands of young French bucks from the
countryside flock into Paris each year looking not only for jobs but for
wives (or girl friends) to the extent that there is a serious population
problem in that city and an alarming manpower shortage in the rural
areas.
Drastic action in the matter, however, is attributable to the country
gals of France who, remembering the old World War I song: "How you
goin' to keep 'em down on the farm after they've seen Paree", got
together and posed this question to French government leaders: "What
do the dames in Paris have that we ain't got?"
There is no record that the answer was spelled out for them in
detail but, at any rate, whatever it is, the French statesmen then and
there decided to effect a more equitable distribution of it by making
it available to the farmers' daughters.
Accordingly, it has been officially announced that the French Ministry
of Labor is sending out qualified experts on the subject into the
provinces to give necessary instruction to timid maidens in the agricultural
districts which will not only enable them to get their man but to
hold him when interest lags and his thoughts stray wistfully toward
gay Paree.
A Ministry official in an interview with an American press representative
explained that Parisian women "do more with what they
have" than any others on earth.
Although he said this boastfully, he and his colleagues apparently
have decided that this probably involves unfair practices on the part
of female Parisiennes and constitutes a type of discrimination against
their underprivileged sisters on the farm which the· new Social Experiment
is hoped to correct.
French social scientists insist that this is merely a temporary excursion
into the realms of political psychology but we suspect that it
is the beginning of a ·long-range program for the expansion and development
of what many consider the chief natural resource of the French
capital.
Any man of wealth who meekly _
gives up ninety-one percent of his
income without loud, vigorous and
public protest of su~h outrage is a
fifth-rate American and unworthy
of citizenship in the great Republic
of his birth.
This tru,th is self-evident: Subversive
propaganda cannot take
root in a strong mind and only
weaklings are influenced by the
enemies of their country.
The stealthy but steady march toward. National Social ..
ism by members of the American Congress will receive
added impetus during 1960 since it is an election· year
and scheming lawmakers will offer every tempting
Marxian device in their bag of tricks to snare the nee ..
essary votes to keep themselves in office. By this time,
if the American people have learned anything cit all,
they have discovered that there is no such thing as
hon·or among political thieves. They have found to their
sorrow that a candidate will lie his way into office and
then start selling out the taxpayers before the ink is
dry on the ballots which elected him. As so many of us
have tried hard and. long to hammer into the heads of
the electorate, it is only the American people themselves
who can save the Republic and keep it from going on
tne rocks of National Socaalism and drifting from there
into a Communist-controlled One-World -government.
In preparation for the superhuman task before them,
all good citizens should start the New Year with earnest,
heart-felt resolutions which they intend to keep and
which should be set down in cold type and placed before
them in order that these pledges may be renewed from
time to time throughout the year:
In atonement for my apathy, indifference and unconcern over the
mass treason which has been rampant in Washington for a quarter
century, I hereby assert my awakening and re-activation as a citi:en
of the great country in which God gave me the rare privilege of bemg
born.
From this day forward, I resolve to become an aggressive, rather
than a robot, American and to hereafter vigorously defend my inherent
rights and freedoms which are being taken from me by those elected,
paid and sworn to preserve and defend them. .
I hereby resolve to come out of the Fool's Paradise where I have
been residing and to face courageously the hard realities of a situation
in which my country is the target of both foreign and domestic enemies
of Constitutional Government and of Christian civilization and to.- do
my utmost to defeat them on every level.
In preparation for the discharge of my neglected duties as a citizen,
I resolve to re-read and study the Constitution of the United States in
order to find out for my~elf how much violence our elected an<;! appointed
officials in Washington have done to this matchless Charter of Human
Freedom in efforts to appease minority groups and subversive elements
whose objective is to overthrow the American government.
In deference to the memory of the great patriots who founded and
fought for this Republic in its early and bitter battle for independence,
I resolve to devote my full energy and resources toward keeping this
priceless legacy they bestowed on me which they set up and handed
down to me without effort or sacrifice on my part.
As a primary step in ·exercising responsible citizenship, I resolve
to re-dedicate myself to the theory once prevalent in this country to
the effect that in government there is no substitute for honesty, thrift
and integrity and to demand of my representatives in Washington that,
as custodians of the taxpayers' money, they use the same measure of
caution, judgment and economy that they exercise in the expenditure
of their own private funds. ·

Some Questions For Attorney W.ashinaton Streets
General William P. Rogers like Wild Animals
Is it permissible for an humble
taxpayer to ask the amount of the
expense involved in the ninemonth's
vigorous investigation you
made of the death of a Negro
rapist in Mississippi?
Is there any record of a similar
amount of money and time devoted
to running down any Negro rapist
in other cases whom Southern law
officers were unable to apprehend?
Since the Federal government has
preempted this field, are you cooperating
with Congress in the
passage of legislation which will
make the penalty more severe for
perpetrators of this bestial crime?
The only concrete results of the
President's grand tour to India,
France, Italy and eight other countries
during December, so far as
we can see, is that it pulled the
rug out from under the New Deal
presidential aspirants and put an
awful crimp in the tail of the
Democratic jackass. By projecting
himself as the world's great man
of peace, good will and brotherhood,
he snagged and held the
bright spotlight and, publicitywise,
left the Democrats to struggle
for space in the dul! glow of
a tallow candle.
From a subscriber in Massachusetts:
"Congratulations on your
work, showing your penetrating
understanding of the situation,
your courage and unswerving loyalty
to these beloved United
States."
In the city of Washington, D.C.,
which the President said would be
an "example to the nation" in the
matter of forced integration of the
races, the local Police Department
has imported a veteran Scotland
Yard sergeant to help round up
teenage hoodlums, mostly colored,
who roam the capital city like wild
animals in the jungle. Teenage
crime there is at an aU-time high.
The Scotland Yard official, Terrance
P. Cahill, who spent 27 years
on the London Police Force, will
train dogs to be used in tracking
down and seizing the young crimi4
nals who have proved too numer4
ous and evasive for Washington police
to handle.
This drastic action by Washington
officials is said to have been
inspired by the fact that the nation's
capital is being overrun by
colored people, including a strong
criminal element while white people
are moving away from that city
by the thousands.
Integration, of course, is largely
responsible for conditions there as
everywhere else where this ignoble
experiment has been launched on a
wholesale scale. Negroes regard
the new arrangement as a license
to commit every crime in the calendar.
The Communists who started the
integration propaganda were familiar
with Negro psychology and not
only expected this reaction but
were glad to see it as it added to the
confusion and chaos which was the
objective of their campaign.
Brainless do-gooders, however,
who followed along with the integration
program without realizing
the potential danger, are said in
many cases to be greatly alarmed
over what they have done.
We'll bet a twenty-five cent dol4
Jar that the latter will be the case
for while Soviet leaders are vi14
lains, they're not fools and they
don't throw money around like it
was confetti.
People Themselves-'co~~~~·~ tom
Since it is common knowledge that billions of dollars voted by
Congress in the name of foreign aid for the alleged relief of suffering
and under-privileged humanity in alien countries has been used to build
luxury hotels, night clubs and gambling dens or has been deliberately
stolen by those administering such funds, I hereby resolve that I will
work and vote against the re-election of any member of my Congressional
delegation who votes for measures to confiscate the hard-earned
money of the American people and re-distribute it among corrupt and
chiseling heads of foreign governments.
Realizing that the taxing power of Congress is being so flagrantly
abused as to constitute a national disgrace and that the only way that
the greed of tax-grabbers in Washington can be curbed is through
repeal of the Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United
States, I resolve to demand of my representatives in the State Legislature
that they join with Texas and Wyoming in memorializing Congress to
submit such repeal amendment.
In view of the fact that Christian Churches in the United States
are the prime targets of World Communism which has been successful
in infiltrating leading pulpits of the nation and indoctrinating many
renowned ministers, I resolve to listen closely to the sermons of my own
pa~tor and in the event I find he has succumbed to this vile propaganda,
to refuse to contribute another dime to the upkeep of that church until
he has been removed and replaced by an authentic servant of God.
In my grass roots political action, I resolve to talk with as many
delegates to the national convention of my party as possible and endeavor
to persuade them not to be influenced by rigged popularity polls
and phony appeals for support of favorite sons and will remind them
that political sex appeal cannot pinch-hit for principle in the matter of
selecting a potential occupant of the White House.
And finally, if the race develops into a contest at the general election
between two-dyed·in-the-wool Internationalists with divided loyalty
to the American Flag and the Republic for which it stands, I resolve
to refuse to vote for either even if I am compelled to write in the name
of an American patriot of my own choosing instead.

We Should Set Ourselves.
Up As World Leaders~ Yet
Senator John Williams, Republican senator from Delaware, has
been singing like a canary for years about the cheating, stealing and
general corruption which prevails as a result of the passage of ill-advised
and unconstitutional laws, but he doesn't get anywhere.
. ~is colleagues listen to him, make clucking noises of distress at
h1s disclosures and then go on passing legislation that is even worse.
The senator's latest target is the Soil Bank which was set up as
responsible agricultural organizations throughout the country were
pleading with Congress to stand aside, get out of the way and let the
farmers run their own business.
The Soil Bank is another Washington racket which projects the
modern theory of paying people not to work. It is a sort of rural version
of the unemployment compensation law and, compared to it, Henry
Wallace's screwball farm program which called for the mass slaughter
of pregnant sows, was a masterpiece in statesmanship and legislative
achievement.
While there was widespread opposition to the Soil Bank plan in
the beginning, homy-handed sons of toil in the furrow soon proved that
they are just as quick in recognizing a ·fast buck when they see it floating
around as any city slicker in town.
The plan provides a $5,000 limit which shall be paid to any one farm
family for taking their land out of production but Senator Williams
turned up one sharp old clodhopper who divided up his farm between
several children under twelve years of age each of whom got into the
act and who will collect an aggregate of $165,000 during the ten years
of their contract with the government.
Laying aside all questions of immorality, dishonesty and corrupt
practices, we've got to admit that these smart kids are not going to
run short on lollipop money for a long time to come. And yet, an honest,
God-fearing farmer like Stanley Yankus of Michigan was run out of
the country because he refused to participate in this artificial and crook·
ed attempt to repeal the law of nature and manipulate human freedom.
Being a conscientious public servant. Senator Williams will probably
keep on exposing this type of legalized theft of taxpayers' money,
but members of Congress will pay no more attention to his disclosures
than they do to the whistling wind which rustles through their pants as
they descend the front steps each day after seriously pondering the
mighty problems of State.
We sympathize with the senator for his excellent, but futile, gestures
toward honesty in _government but he is no more to be pitied than
Congressman Francis J. Walter whose Committee on Un·American Ac·
tivities has expossed to public view hundreds of dirty Communist con ..
spirators against the American government only to have the testimony
he so painstakingly developed either printed. filed away and forgotten
or cancelled out and nullified by Supreme Court rulings.

THE TENTH AMENDMENT TO
THE CONSTITUTION OF
THE UNITED STATES:
THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE
SEGREGATION FORCES WIN RESOUNDING
VICTORY IN THE STATE OF LOUISIANA
The great State of Louisiana has just passed through a hectic
. gubernatorial election in which the Long machine was banished. and
Jimmy Davis, governor of that State from 1944 to 1948, was the VICtor.
Davis' opponent in the run-off was deLesseps ~orrison, mayor of
New Orleans who was making his second try for the JOb.
The overshadowing issue was segregation of the races and while
both Davis and Morrison came out for this policy, Morrison's attitude
was half·hearted while Davis made his position clear and in no uncertain
terms against integration.
The attitude of certain religious leaders in New Orleans who have
undertaken to force integration on the people of Louisiana is claimed
to have contributed to the defeat of Morrison who tried, more or less,
to ride the fence in the hope of attracting "moderates" to his support.
There was a strong belief on the part of voters generally that if Morri~
son were elected, his opposition to integration would melt away in the
face of persuasion and pressure from powerful New Orleans groups.
The outstanding champion of States Rights and segregation, William
Rainach, was eliminated in the first primary in December due to the
fact that some half dozen other candidates in the race also claimed to be
conservatives thereby splitting the vote and defeating him. This is
an old Commie trick which is so ancient that it has whiskers but it
never fails to work.
However Jimmy Davis, it is expected, will prove equally opposed
to Federal intervention in the affairs of the Sovereign States and will
throw all his strength toward keeping segregation in Louisiana public
schools.
We never take sides in any political campaign or endorse any
candidate for office and limit our discussions to principles but now
that it is over, we are glad Jimmy Davis won instead of deLesseps
Morrison for two reasons:
First, because of his reputation as a spender, Morrison would
have probably turned out to be a Soapy Williams with a Southern
accent and, second, because any candidate who does not face integra·
tion propaganda head·on and recognize it as one of Moscow's chief
weapons in the fight to take over the United States, is not qualified to
be governor of Louisiana or any other American State.
There are some sociological derelicts, even in the South, who hold
that defense of segregation of the races constitutes "hate-mongering."
Under that definition, "hate-mongers" are now in the saddle in
Louisiana.

Infiltration Of SMU PRESIDENT'S FINAL TERM IS DEVOTED
A good friend of our paper in
Atlanta, Georgia, an attorney, was
greatly disturbed recently when he
read in a magazine article that
leftists had entrenched themselves
in Southern Methodist University
at Dallas. He wrote us as follows:
"This is a very great surprise to
me in view of the fact that this
university is in the South, is in
Dallas and in Texas which I thought
was impregnable."
We hate to disillusion our good
friend but Texas, and even Dallas,
have their share of Reds and as to
the entrenchment of leftists at SMU
and other educational institutions
in the State, there's nothing new
about that. They're swarming with
leftists who seem to c.rawl out of
the woodwork.
Hasn't our Atlanta friend ever
heard • of the Dallas Council on
World Affairs which has its base
at SMU and which has brought
almost every anti·anti-Communist
to Dallas to lecture to students ex~

TO PROMOTION OF WORLD GOVERNMENT
As his term of office nears expiration,
the President is more and
more putting his cards on the table
and showing his hand in the matter
of his desire to see this country
engulfed in a One·World government.
Before he left for his elevencountry
trip he came out publicly
in a strong plea for the repeal
of the Connally amendment to the
act authorizing this country's par~
ticipation in the World Court.
This amendment would leave to
the United States the matter of deciding
what are domestic problems
and which are international questions
and, therefore subject to the
jurisdiction of the World Court.
Off-hand, it would seem that loyal
Americans would almost rise up
en masse in protest against the
suggestion that this amendment be
repealed, but, incredibly, it was
passed over as another suggestion
for meeting conditions "in a chang~
ing world''.
Think of having some World
Methodist Bishop William C. Martin
who once served as head of the
National Council of Churches and
who has been largely instrumental
in lining up Texas Methodism be~
hind Karl Marx' Social Gospel as
opposed to the Gospel of Jesus
Christ and whose racial views coincide

Sound and Wholesome
Advice To Teenagers
(Montello, Wisconsin, Tribune)
The following item was distributed
to every pupil in a Watertown
(S.D.) school. It read as follows:
Always we hear the plaintive cry
of teenagers: "What can we do?
Where can we go?"
I can make some suggestions.
Go home!
Remove the storm windows.
Paint the woodwork. Rake the
leaves. Mow the lawn. Learn to
cook. Scrub the floors. Repair the
sink. Build a boat. Get a job. Help
your pastor, the Red Cross, the
Salvation Army. Assist the poor.
Study your lessons. And when
you're through-and not too tired
-read a good book.
Your parents do not owe you en~
tertainment. The world does not
owe you a living. Your village does
not owe you recreational facilities.
You owe the world something. You
owe it your time and energy, and
your talents, so that no one will
be at war or in poverty, or sick, or
lonely again. •
In plain simple words: Grow up;
quit being a cry baby; get out o!
your dream world: develop a back
bone, not a wishbone; and start acting
like a man or lady.
I'm a parent. I'm tired of nursing,
protecting, helpinl(, appealing, beg·
ging, excusing, tolerating, denying
myself needed comforts for your
every whim and fancy, just because
your selfish ego instead of common
sense, dominates your personality
and thinking.
Segregation Does Not
Mean Discrimination
On the last day of the year, in
keeping with our ten·year old cus·
tom, we had a New Year office
party attended only by friends hav·
ing offices in the building where
our paper has been located since
the beginning. Pledges of friendship
were renewed and hope was ex·
pressed that these future events
would be celebrated in a better
world than that in which we now
live.
After the guests had gone, and
~lso as usual, the colored employes
m the building came in for their
share in the festivities and as we
watched them dispose of the salads,
the dips, the fruit cake and nuts,
we were highly entertained by their

January, 1960 THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE Pago I
Record Disqualifies New York Senator From
Participating In Civil Rights Legislaton
Jacob Javits of New York is
noted for his diminutive stature
even in the United States Senate
which does not enjoy the reputation
of having a preponderance of
mental giants in its make-up.
If Javits has one characteristic
which stands out above another, it
is his bitter, relentless and deepseated
hatred of the South, its people,
its institutions and way of life.
His aversion for this area of the
American Republic is only exceeded
by his contempt for the Constitution
of the United States and especially
the Tenth Amendment
which withholds from little jackanapes
who happen to be members
of the Congress the right to interfere
in the internal affairs of the
Sovereign States.
Javits is not content merely to
let his hatred of the South seethe
and fester in his own breast but
constantly strives to inspire others
with the same measure of antagonism
toward a section of the country
which he regards as a perpetual
disaster area for the colored element
residing within its boundaries.
During the Congressional recess
he bounced and bobbed around
among his foreign-born constituents
holding what he called "educational
seminars and forums" the
purpose of which was to "marshal
the sentiment of the State" behind
the punitive Civil Rights bill he is
introducing during the present session.
In this bill he proposes to take
away from the Sovereign States
the right to hold their own elections
and would police every ballot
box with a Federal snooper, presumably
a Negro, with the ultimate
objective of beating the people of
the South to their knees and subjecting
them again to the humiliation,
indignity and insults heaped
upon them by his earlier counterpart,
Thaddeus Stevens, during Re~
construction Days.
Any member of the United States
Senate is automatically due the respect
to which his high office entitles
him but by his prejudicial
actions, Javits has forfeited his
claim to any consideration whatever
and we, as one humble and in·
significant Southerner, hereby
charge that he is totally unfit to
assume leadership in any legislative
proposal involving Soviet designs
against this country such as
the Civil Rights Program is known
to be.
By his own admission in official
records, Javits does not know what
Communism is and does not recognize
Communists even after associ·
ating closely with them. This disqualifies
him from participating in
a program originating in Moscow
and initiated for the announced
purpose of stirring up racial dissension
and strife In the United States
to the end that Communism may
more easily strengthen its strangle·
hold on this country.
As we write, we have before us
a transcript of Javits' testimony be~
fore a subcommittee of the Senate
Judiciary on Wednesday, Septem-ber
5, 1956. ·
Dr. Bella Dodd who at one time
was a high official in American
Communist Party affairs, had in-formed
the subcommittee that dur~
ing the time she was active in the
Party Javits had come to her office
at 100 West 42nd Street in
New York and at that time they
discussed what district he might
concentrate on in carrying out any
activities in connection with his political
future.
She also testified that Javits had
associated with Frederick V. Field
at that time United Nations editor
on the Daily Worker, official Communist
paper. The Committee also
had information that Javits was
r~~e~t~ifed :~t~n~r~~~:~~ a~~a~:;~~:
ing together in her home in San
Francisco Communist Party members,
including Communist espionage
rings. Others with whom Javits
was charged with having associated
were Max Yergan, David Hedley,
Max Radin and others, all identified
as either being associated
with the Communist Party or promoting
the Communist cause.
Javits' testimony was a masterpiece
in memory lapse and sidestepping
which should be read by
every American. It may be found
in part 43, Scope of Soviet Activity
in the United States, Hearing
before the Subcommittee to investigate
the Administration of the Internal
Security Act and other Internal
Security Laws of the Committee
on the Judiciary, United
States Senate, Eighty Fourth Congress,
Second Session, September
5, 1956.
Javits' performance was as slick
as an eel swimming through a tub
of castor oil and when he got
though cleansing himself, he was
pure as new fallen snow. ·He admitted
going to Doctor Dodd's office
but insisted that he did not
have the faintest idea that she was
a Communist although her picture
had appeared in New York newspapers
a few days before when she
was shown as one of those presiding
over the annual meeting of
the American Communist Party.
He said that he thought that
Frederick V. Field was just a college
boy and Jmew nothing of his
connections which makes him
unique as there are very few persons
in the United States who are
not familiar with Field's service to
the Communist cause. All the others
he claimed he had just met casual~
ly and never dreamed they were
Communists. If he went to dinners
or parties in their ~ homes he made
It clear that it was onl.v because
someone invited him and he didn't
know where he was going or why.
We submit that any one who is
so naive, trusting and gullible in
dealing with Communists as this
senator has confessed himself to
be is certainly disqualified from
even discussing, much less taking a
leading part In handling, the Civil
Rights program which any person
with an iota of intelligence knows
Is the brainchild of tough, experienced
Communist revolutionaries.
Only men of acumen, Intelligence
and a thorough understanding of
the Communist apparatus and its
designs against the United States
are qualified to discuss and dispose
of legislation which holds such potentiality
for danger to the rights
and freedoms for which our forefathers
fought and died.
REDS ARE AGAIN OUT IN FULL CRY
FOR FEDERAL AID TO EDUCATION
Although the great majority of
the American people are known to
be unalterably opposed to Federal
Aid to Education because for one
reason, it will inevitably be followecj
by Federal Control of Education,
the drive for it continues with unabated
force.
The National Education Association
which is honeycombed with
Reds and which s p o n s o r s
UNESCO's subversive program, has
sent a booklet to its 700,000 members
instructing them to lobby with
their senators and congressmen for
the Murray-Metcalf bill which
would "provide" $1,000,000,000.00
per year for four years to be used in
building class rooms and raising
teachers' salaries.
By "provide" they mean, of
course, that this money would be
taken away from the taxpayers in
the various States, sent to Washington,
divided among Federal looters
and then what was left would
be sent back to the States who gave
the money in the first place, to be
used for building class rooms and
paying teachers' salaries. No such
vicious legislation could be dreamed
up except by depraved politicians
in Washington whose respect
for Constitutional procedure has
long since gone by the board.
The Department of Health, Education
and Welfare, an agency
which was set up to provide jobs
for the President's friends, is also
getting into the act. Director Flem·
ing of that outfit who has abandoned
his cranberry jag recently
came out for Federal Aid to Educa~
tion in order that American students
might be given courses in
every language on earth from Afghanistan
to Swahili.
What Fleming apparently does
not realize is that, thanks to Prq:
gressive Education foisted on this
nation by dim-witted educationists
like him, most American students
can't speak correct English yet and
it will be years before the damage
done to education in this country
by pro-Communist educational
leaders in the nation's colleges and
universities can be overcome and
deficient teaching methods adjust-ed
to the point where students' _ _,
minds are capable of assimilating
foreign languages.
What this country so tragically
needs is a thorough clean-up in the
national organizations whose lead·
ers set themselves up as authorities
on the nation's educational pol·
icies. They are rotten to the core.
Our Thanks For Good Wishes
Domestic Arts Have Honored On lOth Aniversary Edition
Place In Scheme Of Things
As usual, we spent Christmas
week with our family in Houston
where we had the privilege of
doing something we like best to do
next to writing and that is cooking.
The kitchen was turned over to us
and we were informed that it was
all ours.
Our frie~ds frequently express
amazement that we not only know
how to cook but love it. They think
because we are a writer that this
sort of excludes us from the domestic
field.
In our humble opinion, every woman
should know how to cook, sew
and keep house even though she
may not have to do it or, as in
our case, lives in a hotel and can't
do it. Household arts are not to be
looked down on and any woman
who likes to boast that because
she is a career woman she can't
boil water, is all wet and has a
perverted idea of woman's place
in the scheme of things.
We are excessively proud of the
fact that we are a good cook and
we don't mean by that we depend
on "mixes'' or that we can take
a "television dinner" out of the
ice box, heat it up and call it a meal.
We can take a turkey or chicken
while stil1 in the barnyard and perform
all the neccesary functions
from that time until it appears on
the table ready to eat. We have
done it many times.
When we were still a teenager
we could wring a chicken's neck
with one twist of the wrist and we
never missed and we could do it
again if we had to.
Young people of today probably
consider that only a 11Square" would
make such an admission and maybe
they are right but if we could not
We genuinely regret that we do
not have space for the hundreds of
expressions of good will which
came to us on the Tenth Anniversary
of the Southern Conservativ~
but we appreciated them with all
our heart.
We are especially grateful to
those who expressed their friendship
and interest in the form of
financial assistance to help the paper
keep going.
Our greatest wish is that we may
always be worthy of the confidence
and respect of our friends throughout
the United States, in Canada
and in many foreign countries.

ington, D. C., has requested un.

STANLEY YANKUS WRITES FRIENDS
FROM HIS NEW HOME IN AUSTRALIA
Believing that the many friends
and admirers of Mr. Stanley Yan·
kus, formerly of the United States,
but now of Australia, will be in·
terested to learn how he is making
out in his new home, we are re·
producing a personal letter which
we have recently received from
him.
Mr. Yankus, it will be remem·
bered, is the Dowigiac, Michigan,
farmer whose treatment by a Federal
government agency caused decent
Americans to hang their heads
in shame. Because he planted more
wheat than the political plowboys
in Washington thought he should,
his bank account was seized, along
with his farm machinery, and he
was practically forced into bankruptcy
for exercising his God-given
right to try to make a living for
his family. Mr. Yankus moved to
Australia last year in a search for
the freedom to work denied him in
the United States. The letter is from
Grange, South Australia, where the
family now lives and is reproduced
below just as received:
Dear Mrs. Darden:
Often on Sunday · afternoons I
take my four year old daughter
up to the forest reserve in the
Lofty Mountains so she can feed
bread to the kangaroos and emus.
I enjoy listening to the Kookaburra
birds. The Kookaburra, nick-named
the laughing jackass, is the nation~
al bird of Australia. I have been
searching for freedom in this world
and T think the Kookaburra is hav~
ing a jolly, good time laughing at
me.
When I first got fined for raising
wheat on my farm in Michigan I
really believed that if all the people
in the United States found out
what was happening there would
be such a hue and cry raised that
freedom would prevail again. Instead
of freedom I got my bank account
seized. Perhaps the children
of the future who will live in the
land of the Happy United Nations
of Socialism will read about an
outlaw named Yankus who believed
a man should earn his own living.
Recently I appeared on TV in
Adelaide on a program called Press
Conference. I made the statement
that I still believed the Constitution
of the United States was the
best government ever formed in
the history of the world. I will always
believe this no matter where
I live.
I know there are a lot of patrio~
tic Americans who are fighting for
freedom with all their might. And
I know it's wrong to accept defeat.
But my efforts in America were like
putting up signs which read, "Do
not play with matches" in a burn~
ing forest fire. My two boys just
passed their grades in the Austral~
ian schools they attended. On the
last day of school, the headmaster
was talking about the defeat of
the basketball team and he made
the remark, "The apples will grow
again." I am sure the freedom will
grow again but the big question
is when? I haven't filled my barrel
full of wisdom yet.
All of the factories pay their men
in cash. A few days ago I walked
into the payroll office where I am
employed. Nobody was guarding
the money with guns. This will tell
you a little bit about the moral
quality of the Australian people.
Another thing I like about Australia
is the fact that young boys and
girls are employed at an early age.
I read a book once which was entitled,
"How To Make Money."
There was only one sentence in
the book and that said, "Go To
Vfork."
Russell. my oldest son, brought
home a note from his Australian
teacher. The teacher said that the
homes which had TV were easily
determined by the poor work the
students Were doing. The Austral~
ian teachers grade the students
from 1 to 100 rather than give all
"A's" ~s is commonly dOne in
American schools of today. Students
have to earn their grades.
I knew Australia was not perfect
before I came here. Australia has
an income tax, old age pensions,
and some medical schemes: all of
which are socialistic. I have hopes
that there may be a counterbalance
to this. Australia has a population
which is composed of one million
immigrants and nine million Aus~
tralians. The immigrants have come
from countries which had all kinds
of socialism. These immigrants are
looking for freedom and as they
b~come citizens here, I think they
Wlll vote for freedom. Only time
will tell if I have guessed right.
I moved into my new Australian
home on Thanksgiving Day. I
thought I would celebrate by buying
some coffee because I had
been drinking tea since my arrival
in Australia. But after further
thought I remembered a time when
Americans were great tea-drinkers.
They once had a Boston Tea
Party. So I celebrated by drinking
a toast of tea to my new home.
A lot of people have expected me
to come to Australia and do something
spectacular. I have been busy
earning an honest living and establishing-
a home. I think it is a lifetime
job to do a good job of raising
mv family. The foundation of
a good life cannot be built on the
balloons of socialism. One of my
boys and some of his friends went
up to Brownhill Creek in the Adel~
ide Hills to try their luck in panmng
for gold. I am going to keep
right on looking for freedom.
In the June issue of the Southern
Conservative I read that you want·
ed to get paid for unot raising
rice." I am sending you five dol·
lar for not raising rice. But from
the seeds that you are planting
freedom will grow again.

THE PRESIDENT'S BRAVE PROMISES ARE
CANCELLED OUT BY HIS PERFORMANCES
One of our Dallas subscribers
with a keen insight into political
affairs believes that it takes a lot
of doing for the American people
to understand the contradictory
and conflicting statements of the
President.
. She is Elizabeth Staples and
while she concedes that compari~
sons are odious, she makes a few
between the President's promises
and his performances which make
it extremely difficult for even his
admirers to ascribe to him the
virtue of consistency. In discussing
the subject, Mrs. Staples writes in
part:
One who examines the trail
which the President has left be~
hind him since the 1940's cannot
fail to notice that his words and
promises are brave and conservative
and sound fine in the press or
over television but, somehow, his
high-sounding plans seldom, if ever,
get off the ground. Something mires
them down prior to fulfillment.
One of two things invariably hap~
pens - either his pro-American
program runs into insuperable difficul
ties or after the rosy glow of
publicity has faded, his wonderful
plan gets lost in the shuffle. Mean~
time, thE" exact opposite will have
happened.
Consider his 1948 testimony be~
fore the Armed Services Committee
when he said: "There is race
prejudice in this country and when
you put in the same organization
and make live together under the
most intimate circumstances men
of different races, we sometimes
have trouble . . . If we attempt
merelY by passing· a lot of laws to
force some one to like some one
else, we are just going to get into
trouble."
This was Ike's oitch four years
before election which was cancelled
out soon after he assumed office
by his apnointment of Earl
Warren as Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, by his approval of
the un-constitutional "law of the
land" perpetrated nn the American
people on May 17, 1954, by the
ramming of a dastardly Civil Rights
bill through the Congress and by
the sendin~ of storm troopers to
Little Rock.
In 1949 from the eminent office
of the President of Columbia Uni~

I notice you linked him to St.
Louis. Why did you do this to us?''
Answer: We just plain goofed. We
knew of course that it was Kansas
City but for some unaccountable
reason we wrote St. Louis. We
hereby apologize not only to the
St. Louis subscriber but to the city
of St. Louis for this indignity,
God speed the day when it becomes
fashionable once again to be
an American and proud of it; to
be loyal to the American Flag
and to defend the American form
of government and American institutions,
customs and traditions
against all comers.
versity, Ike declared: "I firmly believe
that the army of persons who
urge greater and greater depend~
ence upon the Federal treasury are
really more dangerous to our form
of government than any external
threat that can possibly be arrayed
against us."
These were brave and noble
words indeed but, nevertheless, be~
ginning with the 1955 White House
Conference on Education he has
vigorously sponsored Federal Aid
to education, with inevitable Federal
control. And although advocat~
ing Federal economy in season and
out, he has constantly plumped for
excessive foreign aid bills and demanded
that giving away of tax~
payers' money to alien countries
become a permanent policy of gov~
ernment.
Consider also how he has consis·
tently sabotaged States Rights
while yet echoing in bewildered
citizens' ears was his campaign oratory
of 1952: "Freedom's greatest
threat today is too much government
too far away from the peo~
ple."
One might almost say that his
utterances emanate from Dr. Jekyll
while his consummated deeds are
reminiscent of Mr. Hyde.
Is it possible that our Chief Executive
is such a vacillating char ..
acter that he is tossed in all directions
by every wind of chance and
actually not reSponsible today for
what he mav do tomorrow? How
can he oossiblv reconcile his oath
to uphold the Constitution with his
hearty endorsement of Earl War~
ren's shameful attempts to shatter
the safeguards in that document
against the encroachment of World
Communism?
How can the Pre<>ident salute the
Flag of the United States and accept
its protection as he travels
throughout the world while giving
orior allet!iance to the flag of the
United Nations. an organization
cleverly designed for reoladn~ the
Constitution of the United States
with a One-World Charter?
Hadn't we, as freedom-loving
Americans better do our dead.Jevel
best to find out whether it is the
President's words or his deeds on
which we can depend?
Most newspapers gave little
space to the brawl at the Dallas
Cotton Bowl football game between
University of Texas and
Syracuse players on New Year's
day. The trouble was occasioned
by the fact that Syracuse had
three Negroes on its team. Blame
for the trouble rests with the Uni ..
versity of Te:t·as whose officials
knew in advance that the Syra~
cuse team included Negroes and
they should have refused to let
Texas play in an inter-racial game.
No decent white man wants color~
ed men piled up on top of him
In the intimacy of a football ga"e
and even if there is not open
trouble, there is natural human
resentment. There is nothing nor ..
mal about such an arrangement.

What Every Citizen Can Do LET'S SHOOT EXPERTS INTO THE AIR
To Help Save The Republic AND KEEP MONKEYS ON THE GROUND
If we had ever sat down and
There is no greater lay authority
on the proper functions of the
American governing system in the
United States than the Honorable
Tom Anderson, editor of Farm and
Ranch at Nashville. His brilliant
writings are more and more proving
instrumental in awakening his
readers to the urgent need for intelligent
and responsible political
action on their part if the Republic
is to be rescued from the folly of
inept, if not traitorous, leadership
in Washington. The following editorial
by Mr. Anderson appearing
recently in the Arkansas Farmer
provides a sort of blueprint or guidance
sheet for those Americans
seriously desiring to render service
to their country in its greatest hour
of peril-Editor.
"What can I do?" That's the
question more and more patriotic
Americans are asking. "What can I
do to save my country from bankruptcy,
defeat, and slavery?"
You can do plenty. 1f America
can be saved from becoming a socialist-
labor·welfare dictatorship it
can only be saved by a revolution
at the grassroots. Our nation can
be saved the same way it was
founded, by rebellious patriots demanding
a return to home rule. We
must return to the Constitution, to
states rights, and to states responsibilities.
The greatest enemy of man is,
was and always has been government.
And the bigger the govern·
ment the bigger the enemy.
What can little you do to cut
the fed eral monster down to size?
First, we must know what we're
for; and then work for it. Specifically,
here are some things we need
to do to save America:
Fjrst, kill the federal personal
income tax. This is the one most
vital thing we can do. It would
automatically solve many of our
problems.
The federal income tax law (16th
Amendment,) threatens to lead us
to complete federal dictatorship
and Socialism because it enables
the federal government to engage
in 19,000 businesses it has no business
in; and to usurp powers and
responsibilities which, under the
Constitution, belong to the states.
Urge your state legislator to in·
traduce a resolution to require Congress
to submit a proposed 23rd
Amendment to the American peo·
pie for ratification, or call a Consti·
tutional Amendment for that pur·
pose. Texas and Wyoming have
already voted the proposed Amendment.
The federal government can
get along on the income tax it collects
from corporations, and from
other tax sources.
You would thus end the Federal

the lesser of two evils. Vote for
somebody you want even if you
have to write in a name. Vote for
principles, not personalities. Vote
for integrity, not sex-appeal. Vote
for what's in the candidate's record,
not what's in his ghost-written
speeches; for what he does, not
what he says.

Faithful Disciple Of Marx
Officially Enters Contest
Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota,
one of the longest-winded
members of the Senate, has been
running for President of the United
States practically since the first day
he entered public office. Recently
he made it legal by announcing his
intention of going after the nomination
on the Fair Deal Democratic
ticket.
Humphrey is different from the
other half dozen or so candidates
in both parties who are contestants
for the nation's chief executive job.
All of them are Socialists, of
course, but with most of them it
is only skin deep as they know
better. Way down deep in their
hearts, they are bound to be ashamed
of their Marxist alliance and
would probably be recognized as
good, sound Conservatives if they
did not mistakenly believe that
they must be "liberals" in order to
hold office. In their quiet moments
of reflection, their conscience undoubtedly
hurts them because as
public servants they have performed
like little yellow dogs with their
tails tucked between their legs as
they meekly followed Socialist leadership
to the almost complete destruction
of Constitutional Government.
But not Humphrey. He's a born
Socialist and proud of it. He actually
believes the tripe he spouts
forth in the Senate and in the public
forum and the fundamental principles
on which the American governing
system is based are as alien
to him and as far beyond his understanding
as is the tribal language
of the Bushmen of South Africa.
In a way, he might be described
as the most sincere candidate in
the whole caboodle for while the
others are Socialist converts for
expediency, he is a born believer
in the theories of Karl Marx as
a matter of principle.
THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE
THE SPECTER Of OLD WORLD INTRIGUE
REARS UGLY HEAD IN UNITED NATIONS
Haunting visions of intrigue, secret police and a frightening tap on
the door at midnight which many feel is the future fate of humanity
were brought to the forefront by the "suicide'' of Povl Bang-Jensen,
Danish diplomat attached to the United Nations whose strange
death placed an obligation on representatives of decent nations which
has not been discharged.
From confidential sources in Washington we learn that authorities
there are convinced that Bang-Jensen was murdered but since this
country is a member of the diabolic conspiracy and nest of international
spies known as the United Nations, no action has been or likely will be
taken in the matter of investigating this mysterious death which occurred
on American soil. New York police officials hastily pronounced the
death a suicide and closed the case.
The rumors which have attended the tragic incident are not pretty
and the United Nations will be more suspect in the minds of patriotic
Americans than ever. The affair has emphasized the fact that the U.N.
is dominated by Communists and since no one in his right mind has any
doubt as to what the Soviets will do cto achieve their aims, it will be a
long time before the conviction is erased from many minds that Bang~
Jensen met his fate at the hands of the Soviet Secret Police.
For those who have not kept up with the case, the facts are these:
Bang-Jensen was one of a team of investigators who interviewed
Hungarian refugees in Vienna. The Danish diplomat was able to collect
much valuable information from these refugees on his promise that
he would not reveal the names of his informers. This was to protect
them and their relatives still in Hungary from reprisal by the Communists.
However, a few months later Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold's
assistant demanded that Bang~Jensen give the names of his
informant~ to be placed in the fil~s of the United Nations. Bang-Jensen
was promised that these names would be safe in U.N. files, but since
the Dane was not stupid, and knew that a Soviet promise meant less
t~an nothing, he refused to comply. He was promptly fired by Hammarskjold
and two armed guards were assigned to escort him to the front
gate of the United Nations building.
This was followed by a typical Communist smear of the ousted
diplomat to the effect that he was "mentally unstable'' because he
would not betray those who told of Communist brutality in connection
with the Hungarian uprising.
Later Bang-Je~sen wa~ ~ound ~hot to death with a note indicating
that he had committed suicide. Th1s was taken as evidence by those
who apparently had never heard of secret police torture methods and
the whole thing was apparently brushed under the rug.
Perhaps this may yet be the cause of a full scale exposure of the
United Nations for what it is and, if so, Bang-Jensen will not have died
in vain.
ROCKEFELLER'S WITHDRAWAL MEANS
GOOD RIDDANCE OF BAD RUBBISH
Any One Refusing To Affirm
Loyalty Is Simply Not Loyal
The rapid advance of Communism
in the United States is of
course, evident on all sides bui. its
spread in educational circles is es~
pecially pronounced.
Nelson A. Rockefeller, Governor
of New York, and International Socialist
of the first order announced
late in December that he would not
try for the nomination for President
of the United States on the
Republican ticket.
He was convinced, he said, after
a trip throughout the country that
while people liked him, they preferred
Richard M. Nixon as their
standard bearer in the next election.
We congratulale the people of
the United States on Mr. Rockefeller's
withdrawal from the contest.
As we have said before, while Mr.
Rockefeller may be a genial gentleman
in private life, as President
of the United States he would be
more dangerous to the best interests
of the country than any man
who has held that office heretofore
and that is· saying a lot.
As a matter of fact, there should
be a law to prevent any governor
of New York from ever becoming
President. While New York is physically
a part of the United States,
actually, with its· heavy foreignborn
population, it is largely an
alien section of the country completely
out of sympathy with the
rest of the nation. Most of our major
troubles started with the election
of a New York governor in 1932
and to be forced to suffer another
one would be placing the American
people in double jeopardy.
It was a narrow escape for if
Rockefeller with all his billions had
gone after the job hammer and
tongs he might have secured the
nomination. And if he had been
nominated, there was the horrible
prospect that he might have been
elected for the American people
have proved to our sorrow that
they will elect almost anybody to
that exalted job when the proper
amount of propaganda is launched
in his behalf.
Now if Mr. Nixon would just
make it unanimous and get out of
the race too, there might be a faint
hope that leaders of the once great
Republican party would come to
their senses and select a man with
no taint of internationalism in his
make-up and who would devote his
entire time to repairing the damage
to Constitutional Government
which his three predecessors have
done, in which event the Republic
might grope its way back to sanity,
reason and common sense.
This has been demonstrated
many times but never more forcefully
than in the refusal of many
educatwnal institutions to partici·
pate in the student loan program
under the national defense educa·
tion .act, so long as this legislation
provides that those receiving aid
must take an oath of loyalty to the
United States.
Of course the act itself Is Communist-
inspired for it seeks to give
the Federal government control
over the educational institutions of
the nation by providing them with
taxpayers' money, but somehow the
loyalty oath provision got slipped
mto 1t and the Reds don't like that.
They want the Federal government
to h~~e control of colleges and uni ..
vers1ttes through financial dona ..
tlons but they don't propose that
those receiving the aid shall be
forced to affirm their loyalty to
the country providing them with
this boon.
Six colleges are reported to have
declined to participate in the pro·
gram because of the loyalty oath
requirement; thirteen have with·
drawn from the program because
of it and between thirty and forty

We Wish We Knew Identity
Of An Anonymous Friend
Ordinarily when an unsigned
comm.unication is received by us it
goes mto the wastebasket and no
further thought is given to it.
However, there is an exception
to this rule in anonymous letters
received periodically from the same
person who writes us two or three
times a year.
He is obviously a member of the
National Press Club in Washington
as he always uses the stationery of
that organization kept in the mem·
bers' writing lounge. His letters are
extremely complimentary and occasionally
he sends money.
On occasion we have had letters
from other members of the Press
Club but they sign their names
while this one prefers to remain
anonymous.
In his latest communication he
says: "Some of us here get more
incentive to better writing and
clearer thinking out of your monthly
newspaper than almost anything
that comes to our busy desks. My
wife says 4God bless Ida forever
and protect our children in D.C.'
I wish I might write more fully and
sign it."
Well, why not sign it? This is
not Russia - not yet. And besides,
we never take liberties with any·
one's name who writes us and are
certainly to be trusted in that respect.
Nothing ever appears in our
paper that is not good, sound Americanism
and ninety-nine out of a
hundred persons who write us afe-~~~~
s. and unafraid to sign their
We value highly the friendship
and good will of this unknown
journalist but we would be much

come out from behind his false
whiskers and tell us who he is.

to own and to protect his private
property from confiscation he be~
comes lower than the animals for a.
beast in the jungle will fight to

immigration law barring undesir ..
ables from this country needed to

educational institutions have pro4
tested it.
Arthur S. fleming, Secretary of
Health, Education and Welfare, has
recently put in his two cents and
expressed his opposition to a decta ...
ration of loyalty to the United
States on the part of students who
participate in the program.
Of course every form of excus~
is given by those who are opposed
to this oath including the one that
it insults the American citizen who
Is forced to publicly affirm his loyalty
to his country.
But the bald truth is that any
individual or group who refuse, or
object, to expressing loyalty to the
American Republic and its lnstltu·
tions, are simply not loyal.
It is as simple as that and no
amount of fancy phrases employed
in explaining their objection will
alter this fundamental fact.
