THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE' -To Plead for a Return of Constitutional Government-
Vol. 8 FORT WORTH. TEXAS. SEPTEMBER. 1957 No.9
Violent Hatred of White South Is
Back of Civil Rights Legislation
Data Which Committee Seeks
Was Compiled 166 Years Ago
A special committee appointed by the President composed of
seven Federal officials including three Cabinet nlembers, and ten
Governors has gone into action to assemble information which th&-
President has requested. .
The special task which the President has assigned the Committee
is to find out and let him know the functions which the Federal government
should perform and those which the several States should
discharge. -
We hope it does not come as too much of a shock to the Committee
and to the President but we have news for them. This job was done
166 years ago and by men who knew what they were doing. ·
The whole subject is covered in t his terse, compact paragraph
known as t he Tenth Amendment to the Constitut ion or the Bill ot
R ights and saY"s:
~~T h e powers not delegated to the United States by the Constit
ution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the
States respectively, or to the people."
It is as simple as that, although the Committee will p robably go
ahead and engage in long, rambling, and boring sessions and employ
thousands of ambiguous terms, p hrases and expressions in saying what
American statesmen said in twenty-eight words more than a century
and a hal! ago.
Instead of travelling long distances and making unnecessary trips
to attend wind-Jamming sessions and listening to Modern•Republicans
and Fair Deal Democrats spout off their Socialistic views, the Chairman
of th is Committee could, instead, carefully study the Tenth Amendment
and after he has thoroughly digested it, make a copy and send it to the
President for his information, and that would be that.
The total cost of the whole operation would be the price of a threecent
stamp.
Joint Meeting of Notable Americans
To Be Held in Fort Worth and Dallas
One of the largest gatherings o!
responsible American citizens vitally
concerned in the worsening
State of the Union ever to assemble
since the abandonment of Constitutional
government in the
United States is planned for Fort
Worth on September 20.
The affair will be in the nature
of a joint series of meetings both
in Fort Worth and in Dallas with
Texans for America, the Texas
Division of the national · For
America group, as the host.
Featured speakers will be the
Honorable J. Bracken Lee, former
Governor of Utah who will make
t he principal address at Fort
Worth on the night of the 20 at
Will Rogers Auditorium. The
Honorable Clarence Manion and
General Bonner Fellers w i 11
address a similar gathering in Dallas
at the Adolphus Hotel on the
19th, fo llowing a business meeting
of For America during the morning
and afternoon in that cJty.

If you are a Communi~t vigorously working for the
overthrow of the American government, you are a favored
citizen because the Supreme Court has made your
task easier by removing obstacles in your path; If you
are an underworld criminal, your status in society has
been lifted 1o a level with that of prosecuting attorneys
since that same Court has held that you, too, are
entitled to examine files of the FBI although subsequent
legislation has made it slightly more d ifficult for y•u

ber One concern of the leaders of both majo r parties
because of the widely-prevalent belief that you hold
the balance of power in the forthcoming elections; If,
however, you are merely a White Southerner, God help
you because you are low man on the economic totem
pole, the perennial target of every political crook in the
country with a yen to be President and you have no
rights which the Congress, the Supreme Court or the
White House are bound to respect. Your standing with
the three branches of the Federal government is on a
par with that of o_Mexican wet-back and your influence
in your national Party conventions, in directing legislative
action or in shaping domestic policies of government
parallels that ' of a migront pea-p icker. In other
words, you've had it.
When Robert E. Lee laid down arms at Appomattox on that April
day in 1865, the myth was born that the S6uth thereby attained equal
status in the Union of States and that by- this surrender there was created
"one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
The venom and the spleen of the North, however, was too strong
to be restrained and during Reconstruction Days it was vented against
t he defenseless South in every devious and diabolic manner which the
degenerate minds of depraved carpetbaggers could conceive. Then, as
now, their hatred, prejudice and fury found-its fullest measure of sa tis·
faction in elevating Negroes to superior position and in otherwise sub·
jecting White Southerners to humiliation and insult almost beyond t he
capacity of a proud people to bear.
In the years that fo llowed, the South fought its way back and
eventually regained much of its lost political equality through th&
adoption of the two-thirds rule in nominating candidates for President
in the conventions of the Democratic Party which dominated the South
at that time and whose emasculated and ghostly image still claims the
allegiance of an overwhelming majority of the voters of Dixie.
The second betrayal of the Southern people was accomplished at
the Democratic National Convention at PhiladelPhia in 1936 at the
peak of New Deal prestige when a pompous and sWell-headed counterpar
t of Thaddeus Stevens named Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered the
p011tiral knock-out blow to the South by demanding that spineless
delegates to the Convention repeal the two-thirds rule. This they did
without argument or protest, and once again the South became a
political orphan of the storm.
Since that time, Southern followers of the formerly great Party of
Jefferson and Jackson have functioned largely as voiceless robots and
have been compelled to stand by as impotent spectators at National
Conventions with the alternative of either quitting the Party or sup·
porting candidates whose ch ief recommendation for high office lay in
the fact that they had never been convicted of a crime or sentenced to
a term in the penitentiary.

South not Responsible for
Revival of Ku Klux Klan
Newspapers report that the Ku
Klux Klan is becoming active in the
South again and that there have been
floggings of Negroes in Alabama,
Florida and other States.
Credit for this properly belongs to
Mr. Earl Warren, Ri :hard NixQn,
William Knowland, Jacob Javitts,
Emanuel Celler and others of their
Jlk who have taken up the campaign
of hatred initiated by the Soviets and
have done everything within their
p ower to stir up strife and bitterness
between the races in the South, just
as Communist agitators hoped they
would do. '
Responsible Southerners had stamp·
ed out the Klan which sprang up in
the twenties but. as usual, South·
haters have jumped in with both feet
and are paving the way toward
bloodshed in an area of the Republic
which they despise.

· If every American does not

the fau!t of a highly organized
campaign being carried on by
somebody through the press and
other communications mediums.
This propaganda is terfible psychology
but is a good argument
for mass medication.
Fulton Lewis, Jr., has revealed
that Harold Stassen, the administration's
perpetual square peg {1\
a round hole, is spending $560
of Americp.n taxpayers' money per
week for a plush house in London
complete with butler, maids and
everything. He has occupied this
house for eight months while he
proposes disarmament to the Russians
who aren't paying the slightest
attention to what he says. Apparently
he is in a contest with
the man from the State Department
who has been in Geneva in
a two-year conference with the
Chine3e Reds over the release of
American prisoners of war - none
of whom have been released a3 a
result -of the Geneva talkafest. We
are sure our diplomats and roving
ambassadors are good for something
but nobody knows just what.
Violent Hatred of White South (Continued from Page 1)
Although so-called Democrats are now in control of both Houses
of Congress and, by reason of seniority, a Southerner is allegedly the
"majority leader" it is largely a courtesy title like that of a Kentucky
Colonel and no leadership is exerted beyond a few compromising and
horse-trading gestures and when the chips are down and the vote is
taken, the South wins the skirmishes but the North wins the battles.
As concrete evidence, when hate-mongers in the inner circle of
Modern Republicanism hatched up the dastardly Civil Rights bill with
the double objective of slapping down the White South and, at the
same time, providing a vehicle in which one of their number might
ride to the White House, rank and file adherents of the c:;astrated
Democratic Party fell in line like duck pins in a bowling alley. Instead
of standing together as a unit to defeat this obvious strategy1 they
joined with Republicans to deal another lethal blow to the South. And,
apparently operating on the time-worn political axiom that "if you
can't beat 'em, join 'em" the great "majority leader" went over to the
enemy and voted for the bill. Some leadership when the ~'leader" not
only cannot influence his fellow Democrats but can't even control
himself and votes with the opposition.
The majority of staunch Southerners in both the House and Senate
pr_oved loyal to their trust and fought to the last ditch in a vain effort
to defeat the vilest and most hate-ridden legislative measure ever
conceived by distorted minds and, of course, voted against it on final
passage. A handful of spurious Southern Democrats, went through the
motions of opposing the bill during consideration but voted for it on
final passage possibly in the hope that' some of the credit for its enactment
might rub off on them when, and if, the Soviet Negro Republic
of the South is set up as planned in Moscow, and goes into full operation.
Although some of the most despicable features of the bill were removed
in the Senate, the measure finally passed is dangerous, vile
and indefensible. The right of trial by Jury provision was first omitted
in the House, put in by the Senate and in the compromise was eliminated
again, for all practical purposes and only a few jumbled words,
without sense or meaning were retained in the finished product. Attesting
to its viciousness, provision is made for a Civil Rights Commission
in the Department of Justice as a sort of glorified Gestapo and already
suggestions have been made in the press that certain Negroes will be
named to this Commission and, naturally and appropriately, the ones
mentioned have long Communist-front records. The attorney general
may send his Storm Troopers into the South not only when the "right
to vote" of some Negro has been violated but when the attorney general
"thinks" this "right" is going to be violated, thereby setting up the
precedent of a legislative act which provides for the punishment of a
citizen before he commits a crime.
The Civil Rights bill is the result which accrues when the thinking
of a nation's top leaders is done by alien minds and its policies enunciated
in voices which are thick with a foreign accent. The tragedy is
magnified when it is considered that in the United States we have no
Supreme Court in the ethical meaning of the term to which the measure
may be submitted for a judicial review on an unbiased and Constitu~
tional basis.
One of the great'est deterrents to a Communist-controlled OneWorld
government is admitted to be the American Union of individual
and independent States with their rights and sovereignty intact. The
Civil Rights bill was intended to, and does, go a long way in destroying
the concept of a Federation of Sovereign States, a consummation devoutly
desired by the Soviets.
To evaluate the actual intents of the measure, one has only to
consider the section of the bill referred to as the "bayonet" provision
which was taken out in the Senate after the Reds in that body fought
valiantly to retain it. In one of the most under-handed and treacherous
acts against a segment of the citizenship ever indulged in by an official
of the American government, the attorney general resurrected a for-gotten
Civil War statute which would have permitted the sending of
Federal troops into the South to beat the people into submission to
integration of the schools. When this provision which had been sneaked
into the bill was exposed and its implications understood, even some
of the most rabid proponents of Civil Rights legislation suffered acute
nausea and voted against it.
At any rate, South-haters, with the full backing of the Soviet, have
put over their Civil Rights bill and it should be interesting, even though
revolting, to see what the next step will be toward complete Federal
subjugation of the States in clearing the way for One-World Government
to which the United States is being committed by leaps and
bounds.
lt the American people as a whole had considered it worth while
to inform themselves concerning matters of government instead of
calmly sleeping during the past twenty-five years of treason, their representatives
in Washington, whether from North1 South, East or West,
would not have dared endanger the structure of the Republic by weakening
the sovereignty of the States composing it as was done in the
Civil Rights fiasco.
In the first place, there was no such thing as a "negro problem"
i.!l .the South until it was artificially created in Moscow to stir up and
agitate racial trouble for the advancement of their cause in this country
and was seized on by low-grade politicians in Washington who have
been riding the issue ever since.
There may have been instances in the South where Negroes have
been intimidated into staying away from the polls but, if so, the cases
have been few and far between. On the other hand, there is no provision
in tbe Civil Rights bill to ta.ke care Of the situation in New York
where, according to equally reliable reports, thousands upon thousands
of imported Puerto Ricans are hustled from one voting box to another
on election day and cast a ballot in every precinct they visit.
Certainly there is just as much inJustice and violation of the "civil
rights" of the general public involved in a case where a minority group
member is permitted to vote a dozen times for the same candidate in
the same election as there is in one where he is not allowed to vote at all.
In the second place, there is no such thing as a "right to vote" in
the American Republic. Under our form of government, neither white
nor black citizens automatically enjoy such a "right." Casting a ballot
is a privilege conferred on the citizen in return for certain concessions
on his part such as his readiness to bear arms in defense of his country
and to comply ~ith certain qualifications set up by the several States in
statutes govermng their elections. The "right to vote" term is, therefore,
jus~ as phony as the crocodile tears of the cheap-skate politicians
in Washrngton who wept all over the place about a 11right" that does
not exist.
In the third place, not one of those who raved and tore his hair

bill, constructed wholly of these components, stands as a cheap, shabby

unmatched in human history.

extent of this crime wave because

other cities where there is a lafge

becoming more than her life is

are not surprised at this, of course.

been showered on their race and

Every Time
P aul Butler , Chairman of the
National Democratic Executive
Committee has named Dr. John
Kenneth Galbraith , professor of
economics at Harvard University,
as chairman of the advisory com·
m ittee on economic policy of the
Democratic Advisory Council.
Galbraith was a member of the
old National Citizens Political Action
Committee back in the days
when everything had to be "cleared"
with Sidney Hillman. This
organization was identified by the
Dies Committee as "the major objective
Communist front organization
of the moment. As a front
organization, it represents the
Communist Party's supreme bid
for power throughout its 25 years
of existence in th is country." (Appendix
IX, page 261).
It was also revealed in Appendix
IX that that Galbraith resigned his
post as deputy O~A administrator
after he was accused before a
Congressional investigating committee
of being a radical theorist
whose policies were seriously
hurting business.
The Advisory Council of the
Democratic Party to which Galbraith
has been appointed was
created to uhelp formulate party
programs."
There is nothing surprising or
newsworthy in the appointment
as the selection of such persons

a philosophy.
This country was establiShed, developed

United Nations was a great organiza.
tion which would render a service to
all nations commensurate with the
vast sum of money it is costing the
taxpayers of the United States.
So far, we have seen no evidence of
this great service until recently when
an incident occurred which perhaps
explains the value of this organizaticn
to a certain segment of the peo·
pie of the world at least.
On August 8, according to the As~
sociated Press correspondent in Cairo,
local authorities there intercepted a
speeding car which was trying to
cross the Suez Canal into Egypt. In
the car were two non-commissioned
officers of the United Nations Emergency
Force and the vehicle carried
the UNEF insignia.
When the officers of the law ar•
rested the UNEF officials and search~
ed the car they found it loaded with
narcotics which accounted for the
high speed.
Now while there may be some doubt
a.!l to the quality of "service" invo1v~
ed when an agency of the U. N. goes
into the dope-running business, there
Is· no question that these U. N. offi'cials
were transporting a much-need~
ed product from a base of supply to
some very anxious consumers of that
product in another country.
And who is there to say that redistributing
narcotics from. the place
where there is an over-supply to the
under-privileged who are sho rt on
this product, is not good economics
in the bright one-world we are buildIng?
-All the minerals of the United
States needed in war are, under recognized
U. N. procedure, being redistributed
to other nations of the
world who may use them to blow us
to Kingdom Come one of these days,
all of which has the sanction of United
States officials.
So long as a "share~alike" policy
seems to be accepted as good economics,
we see no reason why the
United Nations should not toss all
the world's opium into one pot and
dole it out to those in short supply,
as they seem to be doing in the case
of the Egyptian escapade.
Whittaker Chambers, author,

Wisconsin Voters Choose
The Least of Two Evils
The best thought in Wisconsin
is that the recent election of William
Proxmire to occupy the seat
in the United States Senate made
vacant by the death of the Honorable
Joe McCarthy, was a direct
slap at the President and Modern
Republicanism.
Off-hand it seems a pretty stiff
price to pay for the privilege of
getting even with the White House
for the shabby treatment accorded
Wisconsin's beloved fighing statesman
but a comparison of the two
candidates would prove there is
little difference between them.
Proxmire is regarded as a little
.to the left of Wayne Morse and a
little to the right of Karl Marx
and the sympathy of all responsible
Americans goes otrt to a
State which must accept such rep·
resentation.
On the other hand, Walter J.
Kohler, his opponent was no better.
He is a "Modern Republican"
and made his campaign on that
-issue. It was a good chance to
&how what they thought of Eisenhower
and his "Modern Republicanism"
and apparently the people
of Wisconsin could not resist registering
their contempt.
Kohler calls himself a Conservative
but he is about as Conservative
as Walter Reuther. He is the

Gestapo Tactics Imposed
On Citizens of Arkansas
Little Rock, Arkansas, is getting
a fair sample of what may be
expected now that legislation a~rogantly
repudiating the Consh·
tution has been passed by Congress
under the guise of "Civil
Rights."
The Governor of Arknsas, actIng
in accord with his rights under
the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution,
proclaimed that the public
schools of Little Rock would
remain segregated as heretofore
whereupon a 1ackleg Federal judge
from North Dakota barged into
that city and took over.
In short order, he set aside the
Governor's proclamation calling
for continued segregation, reversed
a State Court injunction forbidding
the mixing of the races
in Little Rock and enjoined the
Mothers League of that city from
interfering with school mongrelization
plans.
Although North Dakota has only
257 Negroes, according to the latest
census figures, and Arkansas
has over a half million, this imported
judge who had been sent
in by Washington to !:,eplace a retired
official of the Arkansas
bench, disregarded a potentially
dangerous situation and, with no
knowledge, understanding or sympathy
concerning local conditions
proceeded to dispense justice according
to his own warped stand·
ards.
Whatever violence results from
this brash outsider's Gestapo
methods will be directly traceable
to him and to the gang of political
ruffians in Washington who are
determined to corral the Negro
vote, even if it means bloodshed
throughout the South.
Later: As we went to press
Governor Faubus of Arkan.sas had
defied the North Dakota Judge
even as the N. D. J. had defied
him and Little Rock schools are
still segregated.

We Are Supposed to
Overlook Inconsistency
Ohhe Reds
Those who deny the right of Citizens'
Councils and other respectable
American organizations to oppose
Communist-approved rulings
of the Supreme Court, such as
that on segre_gation, didn't utter
a word of protest several years
ago when the NAACP started its
Moscow-planned campaign on the
other side of the issue.
For instance, when segregation
was "the law of the land" (as the
Reds fondly classify this Supreme
Court segregation ruling) the
NAACP constantly made attacks
on it and tried to tear down and
destroy this "law of the land" and
finally succeeded.
But none of the professional
evangels of mongrelization raised
a hand then to prevent this
NAACP activity or reminded its
leaders that segregation had been
decreed by the Supreme Court and
was, therefore, the "law of the
land." Instead, they supported
this outfit in its attempts to overthrow
the "law of the land."
Now, when decent and selfrespecting
men and women in
Citizens' Councils and other good
American groups oppose integration
and strive equally hard to
thwart it because they consider it
immoral and indefensible, the
Reds howl to high heaven that they
are tr.ying to overthrow the ulaw
of the land."
And so responsible and rightthinking
Southerners are expected
to overlook this rank inconsistency
and bow meekly to an
obnoxious way of life which Moscow
and Washington seek to impose
on them, and to sit down
and do nothing to combat this ruling
on forced racial mixing and its
horrible implications on Christian
civilization.
A newspaper headline says
"U.S. and Britain stick together on
Syrian crisis". What's so unusual
about that? It is reliably reported
that the first thing Du!!es does
each morning before breakfast is
to get in touch with London and
find out what the American people
want.
In its final passage, the so-called
Civil Rights bill denies this tradition·
al right to the citizens and so do socalled
mental health bills under which
a person who refuses to conform to
one-world thinking can be declared
insane without a trial by jury and
carted off to an asylum.
In view of this, Mrs. Walt)Oan
points oUt that public officials who
have sworn to uphold the Constitu~
tion but who, instead, have violated
that oath by supporting legislation
embodying a bill of attainder, are
guilty of desecrating the Constitution
and are, therefore, subject to removal
from office.
Since a bill of attainder i• a legislative
act which Inflicts punishment
on the accused without due process of
law, including a trial by jury, and
since both Civil Rights and Mental
Health legislation contain a bill of
attainder, it seems to us that this
young woman ii: clearly »tanding on
solid ground in making this charge.
However, the woods are ful) of
slick, tricky and "liberal" lawyers
whose specialty is to develop way•
and means whereby the provisions of
the Constitution may be abrogated
and who will argue otherwise - and
probably win.
After all, Mrs. Waltman 11 nothing
but a patriotic American taxpayer
seriously alarmed over the future of
the Republic and since this f.lpe of
citizen no longer has any voice In the
discussion or solution of the nation'•
vital Issues, she will probably be
regarded as out of order for publicly
calling attention to this apparent violation
of basic law.
Lyndon Johnson and Ralph
Yarbrough are the first two Senators
from Texas .to vote in favor
of a "civil rights" bill since the
carpetbag Senators of the first Reconstruction
period, says Lloyd S.
Riddle of Dallas. "May the c~nsciences
of these two deal wtth
them now and the voteJ's of Texas
de'al with them later", Mr. Riddle
added. This Texan predicts also
that Lyndon Johnson will slicktalk
his way out of the fact that he
voted for this inquitious bill. Any
bill bearing the title "civtl rights"
is a hate-the·South bill and can in
no conceivable way be satisfactory
to Texans as Johnson claimed it
was, Mr. Riddle charged.

An Aging Statesman Talks
When He Should Be listening
In London, according to a Reuten
release, Winston Churchill made a
statement on September 2 which was
either intended to aid the Communist
cause or indica ted Senility bn h is
part - or perhaps a little of both.
He urged lawmakers of the world
to "speak their own mind and not be
spokesmen of established government".
He further expressed the opinion
that "freedom in the legislatures
of all nations will promote tolention
between ideologies and underst~u)ding
between nations".
His utterance is not only a strong
plea for One·World government but
an indirect suggestion that the piople
of the free world prepare to accept
Communism rather than combat
it.
Well, we have news for the old boy.
What he suggests should be done is - ·
already being done and that is a
large part of what is wrong with the
world. In the United States, for instance,
memben of Congress - who
should be representing "established
government" are nothing more than
spokesmen for International Social-
Jsm as represented by Churchill'll'
England, and instead of trying to preserve
that "established government"
they are doing their dead·level best
to destroy it.
Churchill's outburst indicates that
he is through in the forum and overdue

Pogo 6 THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE September, 1957
Aside From That This Good This Was Most Expensive Piece In the Name of Allah What
Californian Loves Tee-Vee Will They Frame Up Next?
Reflecting the sentiment of most Of Beefsteak in all Hist9ry
Rock 'N Roll-weary Americans, Henry
D. Allen of Granada Hills, California,
has struck out against the "degenerate
noisy trash today called music".
Tele vision, he points out, was developed
from the minds of intelligent
resea rch engineers by the process of
sci entific logic but he does not believe
that the ghastly and agonizing
sounds which are emitted from the
finished product were foreseen by
its inventors.
Explaining the result when he spins
the dial in a vain search for real entertainment,
Mr. Allen said:
"My hearing is offended by the
combined noises of howling coyoltes,
screeching hoot owls, laughing hyenas,
hissing vultures and· the deathratlle
of gorillas in a battle royal. I
am witnessing, and listening to a
'great ensemble' which is being huckste
r ed by a great T .V. spieler whose
voice is saturated with a heavy foreign
accent. It is a song and dance
number by Finkelstein and Hoggenheimer
from the great mu-sick-all
'Nuts' ."
As to television's value as an lnlormation
and educa tional medium,
Mr. Allen charges that propaganda
groups have acquired control of this
miraculous phenomenon.
"Instead of attaining the aims and
hopes of those great minds who were
inspired to give birth to this vast
educational medium, it is being used
today to mold the thinking and insult
the intelligence of those who
watch its programs," Mr. Allen said
and added:
"Much of it is obscene in the vilest
sense - not to mention the irreparable
damage it works upon impressionable
minds of youngsters who sit
by the hour in a darkened room concentrating
on the revolting sagas of
crime prepared by an army of script
writers and producers who can hardly
speak English".
Too Bad Delegates to Moscow

The trip of American juvenile delinquents

about the sorriest and most disgusting
spectacle the world has been

Naturally all who attended the affair

or sympa-thetic to the Communist

made the trip. That they should defy
the State Department in Washington

the ir passports Is merely routine
Communist procedure. Communists
have been Insulting the American

September, 1957 THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE Page 7
Episcopalian Ministers Prepare Big
Surprise For Their Congregations
Just at a time when racial bitterness
has been fanned to white heat in
the South another organiz.eP, foe of
the Constitution has bobbed up with
proposals whi::h will compound
hatred, augment dissension and multiply
strife by launching something in
Texas nnd the South called "Christian
Strategy for Race relations".
From a friend in Austin, we have
received an expensive 36 - page
pamphlet outlining the pro:::eedings
of a highly WJ?secret Conference
held at Christ Episcopal Church in
Nashville, Tennessee, April 24-25, at
which time the proposed program
soon to be launched in Texas and the
South was formulated.
The pamphlet is marked "Confidential
- for Private Circulation
Only" and on a fly-leaf makes thi9
plea !or secrecy: "News of this Conference
was not released to either
the secular or religious press. Likewise
this Report is not for news release,
nor may Its findings be quoted
in sermons, articles or reports of
Departments of Christian Social Relations.
This request is consistf'nt
with the purpose and nature of
the Conference". The pamphlet is not
copyrighted; it's just not for publication!
Its principal author is given as
Rev. Das Kelley Barnett, Associate
Professor of Christian Ethi~s and
Mor:Jl Theology, the Episcopal Theological
Seminary of tJ;le . Southwest,
Austin, Texas.
First, we wish to explain that in
Texas, as in other Southern States,
Epis:!opalians are widely regarded as
among the most cultured, educated
and responsible citizens of their respective
States. Unlike some of the
leaders of that faith in the North and
East, Texas and Southern members of
that denomination are generally conservative,
sound-thinking and levelheaded
Americans and, aside from a
few of their ''liberal" ministers, are
not given to accepting strange and
alien doctrines eit•her In the religious,
social or political field.
The Reverend Mr. Barnett, however,
proposes to change all this and
to this end he and a handful of ministers
and laymen ol. like mind and
ideology met behind closed doors in
this highly secret conclave at Nashville
to give "strategic direction" to
the movement to bring Negroes into
White Episcopal churches o! Texas
and the South, according to the
pamphlet.
It must be borne in mind that there
was no question of a problem or a
pressing emergency wherein Ministers
of the Gospel had met to give
thoughtful prayerful comlideration to
a distressing subject. No colored peo~
ple were clamoring for admission to
White Episcopal churches in Texas or
elsewhere in the South. Apparently
the only Negro involved in the whole
proceeding was the professional agitator
and race-baiter from Alabama',
Martin Luther King, who was present
at Nashville and was closeted with
Rev. Barnett and his associates for
several days while they sweated over
the task of first having to create the
problem and then offer a solution.
The matter of the Supreme Court
decision on segregation in the schools
was raised at the Conference and the
question was then asked by Barnett:
"What is the Episcopal Church doing
about integration in the South"
This is perhaps the first time the
Court decision on integration has
been officially interpr~ted as applying
to chur::hes and this construction
of the ruling will no dOubt occasion
surprise and amazement on the part
of the average lay member of the
church.
Stating that the purpose of the
Nashville Conference was to "discuss
a flexible, workable strategy in race
relations" Barnett emphasized once
more at the dcse of the session that
"this meeting will not be publicized
nor will its findings be released to
the press". Since ~he pamphlet states
frankly that Barnett and his group
were there "to study techniques and
methods of implementation to achieve
integration in the church", one cannot
help wondering why nil the secrecy?
Isn't the subject of sufficient importan'te
and the proposals advanced
so revolutionary that the lay members
of the church who put up the
money to pay these minister's salaries
entitled to be let in on the secret?
The language employed both in the
pamphlet and- in Barnett's speech de~
livered at the Conference is extremely
un-ministerial and is adapted
more to a smoke-fiJled room at a political
pow-wow where one faction is
trying to out·smart another rather
than to a grave and serious discussion
of spiritual matters wh"iC'h one instinctively
ascribes to gentle and kindly
men of the Cloth.
"Is it Jesus Christ or Jim Crow",
Barnett profanely demanded of his
listeners, after first reminding them
that unless his -churc;h acts to bring
about integration they will "extend
Hell's pavements of good intentions".
As if fearful that some might be
slightly sho~ked at this sacrilegious
and blasphemous utterance, Barnett
hastened to add:' "Here we might ask
those of us like myself-White,
Southern-born and bred-we who
once saw no contradiction between
Jim Crow and Jesus Christ-why
did we change? Why are we here?".
Answering his own question, this
great theological "strategist" explained:
"Education played a part.
Sodal sciences helped. But above all
we saw the Bible in a new light. We
came under a type of Christian Influence
that convinced but did not
coerce . • ". Actually we
could add some other factors
which influenced the changed attitude
of ministers such as Barnett but
he named most of the forces which
caused those of his i1k to abandon
the Gospel o! Jesus for the principles
of Karl Marx.
"G<ld is not primarily interested in
religion" was another of Barnett's
startling pronouncements to his select
audience" and he went on to explain
that public education, the right
to vote and the right of labor to organize
were of equal importance In
contributing to "the whole of man".
He appeared to speak with conviction
when he practically promised
his group that the Supreme Court
would not reverse its decision on
segregation and made mysterious
reference to a message which President
EJsenbower had sent to the Conference
the night before, leading to
the obvious conclusion that in epite
In the North It's A 'Noisy Crowd'
In the South It's an 'Angry Mob'
IN THE south it's an "angry mob" ..
Other papers have commented on
the difference in the way the newsgathering
agencies handle so-called
mob action in the South and in other
sections of the country and we naturally
are moved to comment there-
The case in Levittown is a good
illustration. In that Pennsylvania sub.
urban city sixty thousand White people
have been "' living in peace and
harmony for years.
Then up jumped the Devil in the
form of a leftist organizatio., and in·
duced a Negro family to buy a home
in the all-White community. Naturally
and inevitably, this infuriated the
home-owners there and they performed
as was to be expected. Thousands
collected in protest and when the
gathering got out of hand, stones were
hurled, plate-glass windows were
broken and the Negro was threatened.
Bu~ ~:c. :-e~c::-te!'~ !or the press refer
to it as "mob action"? Not on
your life. It was "noisy protest" and
"unrulY groups" and what have · you
but if it had been in the South, they
would have given it the works.
There is one angle of press reports,
however, which are identical
whether the incident be in Mississippi,
in Detroit or wherever. The
Negroes involved in such cases are
always deait wibi gently aQd tenderly
and made to appear as quiet, peace-of
all the secrecy attending the gathering,
the President had been tipped
off that it was to be held.
The Citizens CounciJs of the various
states appeared to be the particular
target of Rev. Barnett's hatred
and he des~ribed them as "deriving
their dynamics in part from the guilt
neurosis o! Christians transferred into
organized hate of the Negro", Perhaps
it was an oversight on the part
of the good man but at no point did
he similarly classify the NAACP or
refer to it as representing organized
hate of the White man.
In closin&, Mr. Barnett warned his
:fellow "strategist.s" t-hat Southerners
"can be led but not driven" and informed
them that the campaign for
integration would be formulated at
an institutional level and that a longrange
program of human relations
''would make for gradual but certain
desegregation of the churches". Implementing
this policy, he said, will
"call for expanded departments of
Christian social relations in denominations,
expanded' programs of Christian
so::ial ethics in the seminaries,
and inter-denominational cooperation
between and upon all levels, national,
State and local ministerial councils".
Apparently the good man is nothing
if not thorough and he made Jt plain
that there ll! going to be integration
on aU levels. Period. AJJ encouragement
to his team, he claimed that
youth camps are already integrated
Jn South Florida, Texas, Kentucky
and Virginia but that we'll have to
We hope that this alight note of
warning which we are able to live
by violating Mr. Barnett's injunctions
for "secrecy" will help to cushion
the shock when his bold plan is finally
sprung on the dues-paying members
o! hi1 church.
able citizens going about their affairs
with no intent to harm any one while
White people are pictured as savages
running around with murder in their
hearts.
In every case like that of Levit~
town, therE! is always a "nigger in
the woodpile" and it wasn't long until
it developed that the colored man
who bought a home in the midst ot
60,000 white persons was being spon~
sored by the American Friends Serv~
ice Committee whose agents helped
the Negro family move and unload
their furniture in their new home.
The American Friends Service
Committee engages in various activ1~
ties but they specialize in sending
speakers out over the country to ad~
dress religious and educationni groups
and almost invariably such speakers ~
have a long Communist front record.
Some yf'ars ago as recorded in these
columns at the time they sent a Ne~
gro man to address the Asso.:ia-
!ion of American University Women
in Pasadena, California, and this Ne-gro,
one Bayard Rustin, was arrested
on a morals charge soon after leav-ing
the assembly hall where he spoke
to the white women.
The Friends bear down heavi1y on
racial mixing and, like all left.wing
organizations clear up to the Communist
Party they are '"hipped" on
the subject.
It all figures and any one who can't

English have gotten into a looal
squabble which is pitched around the
Royal family,
From all we can gather, British
"liberals" don't want to give up

with a title even suggested that their
Monarchy should operate more Jike
a "Democracy" and kick out the high~
brow advisers to the Queen and substitute
some roughnecks from the
wrong !!ide of the tracks.
Since "Monarchy" means a govern~
ment ruled by a single person and
"Democracy" is a theoretical term in
which a government would be ruled
directly by all the people, this young
squirt's anachronistic bust would
seem to entitle him to rank along with
our Supreme Court Justices who
made the famous crack about ''deliberate
speed" in their integration decision.
The trouble with England is that
they persist in calling their country
a Monarchy while, at the same time •
maintaining a Socialist government.
Just as we in the United States are a
Capitalistic country operating Free
Enterprise under a government that
is administered by Soci8list.s.
No wonder the sensible and normal
citizens of both countries are so
confused they "don't know from nothing."

Supreme Court Renders A
Cireat Service to Service
An Item of amazing interest to the
American people but which received

Stewart Service has not only been

he received when he was bounced
out of that agency In 1951 on loyalty
grounds.
It will be recalled that In 1945 hun·
dreds of U.S. top secret documents
we re found in the offices of Amerasia,
a Communist-planned publication
which was launched and sponsored
lby ~he Institu te of Pa::ific Relations.
These official secret documents were
from Military and Naval Intelligence,
the State Department, the OSS and
the Bureau of. Censorship and were
plainly stamped <;the possession of
these documents by any unauthorized

cation in whose offices the documents
were found , was financed by Fred·
erick Vanderbilt Field and Philip
J affe of the Institute of Pacific Rela.
l ions, and whose recorsJs are familiar
to all students of Communist front
activities.
During an investigation into Amer·
asia, which was later whitewashed by
the Tydings Committee and whose
complete report was withheld from
the public, an FBI agent testified that
J ohn Stewart Service, State Depart·
ment employee, had visited J affe's
hote-l room and turned documents
over to him which Service warned
were top secret.
Five years later, and over the pro·
test 1o( Secretary of State Dean Ache·
son, the Loyalty Review Board found
that there wos "reasonable doubt" as
to the loyalty of Service and he was
fired from his State Department job.
Climax to the matter came this past
June when the Supreme Court ruled,
in effect, that although there wcur
"reasonable doubt" as to his loyalty,
Service was entitled to the benefit ot
that doubt and that he had been
wrongfully discharged.
Service was immediately offered
his old job back in the State Depart·
ment and, in addition, was info rmed
that his salary would be increased
from $11,2:50 which he was receiving
at the time of the Amerasia inciOent,
to $12,250, according to a press re·
lease in the Chicago Trihune.

Hail and Farewell to One of the
Republic's Staunchest Defenders
I ronically, in the same Senate Chamber where less than two years
ago Soviet a'gents and their allies in this country made a villainous
attack on the late Senator Joseph R. McCarthy of Wisconsin, ceremonies
were held on August 14 in which greater tributes were oiferea- to his
hmiestmoroyr.y than were ever accorded to an Americ·a n statesman in all
The major part of the Senate Section of the Congressional Record
of that date is devoted to expressions of affection, respect and gratitude
for his magnificent fight in behalf of American security offered by his
colleagues in the Senate and to coverage of editorials from the secular
and clerical press concerning his matchless service to his country.
We are understandably proud of the fact that our lead editorial
in the May edition e ulogizing Senator McCarthy was one of the two
from Texas selected for reproduction in the Record on the occasion of
the Memorial Service, the other one being from the Houston Ch ronicle.
We get even more consolation from the realization that, while he
was still alive and during the years of his devoted service to the Republi
c, we put ou t few editions i n which we failed to express appreciation
for his splendid efforts to fend off Communist encroachment on
our institutions and way of life, in the strongest language we were able
to command. One of ou r most valuable possessions is a letter in which
he let us know how much this type of support from patriotic Americans
meant to him in the dark hours through which he so often passed.
From newspaper columnists,
from former U. S . spies and other
sources we have been getting increasing
warnings lately that there
are going to be exposures in the
near future concerning well
known persons in this country
who are agents of Russia , which
w ill "shock a nd stun" the American
people.
We have no doubt they are right
and that such disclosures will be
made but they are not going to
"shock and stun" us. We have
seen so much authentic data con·
cerning Communist infiltration in
this country that we are imll}une
and proof against being either
shocked or stunned. With each
r evelation, we are j ust a little
more grieved, that's all.
The book on which we are working
and which will contain leading
editorials from the Southern Conservative
is progressing slowLy.
The problem is the selection of the
material and what to leave out in
order to hold down the length of it.
Any one who may want extra
copies of the paper this month or
a re-print of the lead editorial will
please advise u.s as ·early as possible.
We will try to have the type
held for ten days after publication
for any extra orders that
may come in.
