THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE -To Plead for a Return of Constitutional Government-
Vol. 8 FORT WORTH, TEXAS, FEBRUARY, 1957 No.2
Betrayal Is not Treason Any More
It's lnterncitional Diplomacy Now
Police Deny Little Pickpockets
The Right to Rob the Big Ones
Press reports from Washington last month told of the special de·
tail set up by the District Police Force to ferret out and arrest pickpockets
during the inaugural festivities on January 21. It was hoped
to keep this form of petty thievery to a minimum as the pomp and
ceremony of a Presidential inauguration held the nation's attention.
This. in our humble opinion, was a rather futile and unnecessary
precaution since the amount which might have been pilfered from
the participants would not have been a drop in the bucket compared
to the "take" which would result after the.ball was over, the bands had
stopped playing and the Master Pickpockets had gone into action.
Any way, the mass victims who perennially get their pockets
picked and their wallets frisked were not in Washington attending the
inaugural ceremonies.
They were back home making out their income tax returns.
Smart Whale Louses Up
cientific Experiment
Out in Los Angeles a medical scientist had the bright idea of
inoculating a whale with a powerful tranquilizer drug in the interest
of scientific experiment. On January 20 he proceeded to put his idea to
the test.
Hiring a whaleboat and an experienced crew of men, the doctor
selected the biggest specimen in a herd swimming off the Catalina
Coast and let go with a specially constructed harpoon which injected
500 miligrams of strong tranquilizer into the spine of the 50-foot mammal
in contrast to 2.5 miligrams usually administered to human sub-jects.
·
The idea was to exercise a strong measure of thought control
over the deep sea monster, bring about his complete relaxation and
then haul him in for experimentation purposes.
But the whale apparently had other plans. Slightly stunned for
a moment by the unexpectedness of the attack, the big fellow quick·
ly recovered his (por) poise, hauled off and, in what is probably re·
garded in Underwater circles as the equivalent of the. Bronx cheer,
spouted a stream of water which. practically inundated the boat, flipped
his tail at his tormentor and took off.
At last reports, he was headed toward Honolulu and the medical
scientist was left standing on deck w~th his harpoon dangling.
Handley's Election Is Victory
For Constitutional Government
For the American people to be
treated to expressions of sound
Americanism in an inaugural address
by an official of government these
days is so rare as to make it an oc·
casion of general rejoicing.
Up in Indiana, the election of the
Honorable Harold W. Handley is hail·
ed by in[ormed citizens there as a
step in the direction of responsible
and stable government, so far as that
State is concerned.
In his inaugural address on J anuary
14, Mr. Handley got right down to
fundamentals by attacking Federal
Aid to education and let it be known
that this Socialistic proposal will get
no sympathy from him.
"The perennial attitude of the
Hoosier toward his Cine public school
system is typical," Handley said. "No
man is more ambitious for
thorough education than is the citizen
of Indiana. But he insists that this
education must be under local administration.
He demands home ru le.
He will not tolerate nationalization
of his schools, for he knows that only
community con trol can give him the
sort of instruction and textbooks that
he wants. He wants no bureaucratic
tampering with his most precious posessions-
his children.''
In our opinion, there is a man to
watch. If this nation is to be reclaimed
from National Socialism-and we are
not at all sure that it will be-it is
fearless and courageous Americans
like this new Governor of Indiana
who will be largely instrumental in
getting the job done.
The Constitution defines treason to the United States as
adhering to its enemies and giving them aid and comfort.
So rare were acts of disloyalty against this country
in the early days of the Republic that the name of Benedict
Arnold stood alone on the roster of infamy in the
nation's glorious history of the past. For adhering to
alien enemies and giving them aid and comfort, this
traitor was forced to flee to Europe to escape the hangman's
noose. If he were living today and connived with
foreign powers to the d isservice of his own native land,
his behavior would no doubt be hailed as an act of international
diplomacy and he would probably be acclaimed
as a great world statesm!Jn earnestly striving
for universal peace.
By the high moral standards which prevailed in a former era of
sanity and reason when this great nation was still operating under
Constitutional Government, loyalty to country was held as second only
to allegiance to God.
It required a quarter of a century of subsidjzed anti-American
propaganda to bring about a reversal of the national attitude toward
acts of disloyalty, to mitigate the stigma that attended them and to
soften public contempt for any American, high or low, holding the
interests and the welfare of foreign nations paramount to those of
the United States.
It is true that in the meantime the Rosenbergs were put to death
and Alger Hiss and other minor enemy agents have been given short
prison terms !or comparatively petty acts of espionage in stealing and
giving away confidential papers of State and revealing to the enemy
guarded secrets o! the atom bomb.
But the individual, small-time spies and conspirators who have
helped to run a dagger through the heart o! the Republic, nullify its
potency as the leading power of . the world and to arm its enemies
with the weapons for our ultimate destruction, constitute only a negligible
part Of the overall pattern of betrayal.
It is coordinated, planned and organized acts of mass disloyalty
in high-ranking governing agencies charged with defending the Republic
to the death, aided by extraneous educational, religious, social.
philanthropic, charitable and other assorted groups of Americans heading
up programs that give aid and comfort to the enemy, which is
gradually serving to lay low the most powerful and mighty nation
of the earth.
Individual acts of disloyalty in the ranks have, of course, played
a sh~meful par~ in the nation's betrayal as a Constitutional Republic
and Its conversion to a National Socialist State, but it is planned and
mass disloyaltY. in high commands to which foreign conspirators look
for the eventual overthrow of the American Republic.
. . By. stripping power, sovereignty and authority from specified
~nst~t~hons of go~ernme~t where the Constitution placed it and investmg
It m Co~mumst-dommated world assemblies, high-bracket betrayers
of the American peopl~ are contributing to the spread of anti-American
and anti-Christian philosophies of government throughout the world.
This gives aid and comfort to the enemy and. can it by whatever
name you will, it constitutes treason against the United States.
It would be hazardous and inexact to attempt to specify the time
and place when national loyalty was first re·appraised and bracketed as
an unnecessary concomitant of American citizenship or when it was
discarded. as a hindrance in the conduct of our foreign relations. For
the practice of American betrayal of American security is retroactive
and goes back many years when evidence of domestic treason first
broke out on many fronts, in many places and in many forms.
No human agency or collection of mortal minds could draw an

A headline in the p1·ess under
Mass Insanity of Integrationists a Washington date~line says:
Inspires Desecration of Church
Indication that the frenzied activity
of professional integrationists
is not only a part of the clearcut
Communist conspiracy but that
it is actually resulting in mental
derangement of weak minds which
have been carried away with the
subject, has been given emphasis
through disclosures made by a
member of the United States Senate.
Holding in his hand pictures and
newspaper clippings to substantiate
his charges, Senator Richard
Russell of Georgia told his colleagues
of an act of sacrilege in a
New York church sometime ago
that seriously challenges our right
to be classified as a civilized society.
Senator Russell had reference to
a ser vice conducted in St. Phillips
Church in Manhattan which had
been called for the dedication of a
painting to be hung in that edifice.
The painting, by one Irma DeNagy
of Pleasantville, New Jersey,
showed the Madonna as a Negro
with a little black Jesus in her lap.
"The absurdity of the Blessed
Virgin Mary as a Negro is revolting
to all who have reason of
mind/' Senator Russell said and
added: "When un-rational thinking
can change 2,000 years of history,
we need to think deeper".
It is not known whether or not
this dedication service had the approval
of the National Council of
Churches which is solidly behind
integration from the school room
on up to the altar. If so, we may
look for a program of vast proportions
to get under way with the
objective of either throwing all the
sacred art of the world in the gutter
or re-touching it with a sepiatipped
brush.
Political psychiatrists who are
scouring the world for subjects,
would do well to get in touch with
the psychotic degenerates who desecrated
this House of God in New
York.
A virulent form of mass insanity
is the only explanation for this
unspeakable and depraved act.
What a sad commentary on Americanism
tha t there should be a
tug-of-war between opponents
and advocates of uright-to-work"
laws in this country and that lawmakers
should be besieged with
demands for passage, or repeal, of
such legislation. If there is a Godgiven
right on this earth, it is the
right to work and that the matter
has been allowed to become
a political football is a reflection
on the American people and on
their elected leaders.
Dr. W. N. Brigance of Wabash
College complained bitterly at a
Chicago meeting of educators recently
that some garbage collectors
and truck drivers get more
pay than some teachers. But he
neglected to add that some garbage
collectors an.d truck drivers
may be doing a better job than
some teachers and are, thereby,
worth more. We are thinking only,
of course, of those teachers who
are dominated by the National
Education Association and who
consider themselves not as teachers
but as political instructors
whose responsibility is to make
"world citizens" of their students.
Such teachers would be overpaid
even if they got no salary.
" Everybody talks about Ike's bud·
get but no one's doing anything
about it." And the chances are,
they won't either. If history is repeated,
they will blow off steam
in both Houses of Congress and
denunciation of reckless spending
will echo throughout the corridors
of the stately building on the Hill,
Long dissertations on the wanton
waste of taxpayers money will be
entered in the appendix of the
Congressional Record for consumption
back home but when the
bill comes to the floor, the pre1·
sure is put on and the flick of
some powerful Simon Legree'•
whip is applied to their sore
backs, most of them will ago along
to get along".

A cartoon in the Fort Lauderdale,
Florida, Sunday News depicts
Earl Warren as the "Mad
Bomber of Washington". Stink
bombs he has dropped on the
Southern States were shown as
"School Integration Problem",
"Beach Integration Threat", uBu~
Integration Hassle" and " Train
Integration Trouble". Warren
is shown gloating over them and
boasting "Ha Ha Ha . •. and I
made them all myself".
Betrayal Is Not Treason Anyinore (Conti••••FromPagel)
of eventual disaster if the patriotic ranks in this country were tightly
closed and American allegiance were solidly behind uthe American
Flag and the Republic for which it stands" as it was not so many
years ago.
But that is not true now and the tragic fact confronts us that the
most potent and deadly foes of Americanism are Americans-Americans
who wield wide influence on the lives, actions and thinking of other
Americans and who are exerting this influence in a manner and toward
an end which gives aid and comfort to the enemy and which will, unless
checked, eventually spe11 the end of this country as a nation of free
men.
Without the active and aggressive cooperation of domestic traitors
in the United States, alien foes could never have made a dent in our
strong, firm and supposedly invulnerable governing system based on
the Christian principles of individual freedom and dignity, on the
right to work, to earn and to own and conforming faithfully to the concept
that all just governments derive their power from the consent of
the governed.
Alter all. greed and malice are universal attributes and the envy
and hatred of foreigners toward the richest and most powerful and
prosperous country on earth, and their resentment of our perfect form
of government as opposed to their own base and corrupt slave systems,
is but the outward expression of this inherent defect in the human
race.
The conspiracy of hostile nations against us, therefore, would
have remained merely an empty gesture of frustration, futility and
defeat! It would have continued to be but a sterile plot, without form,
substance or meaning, if our own citizens had not provided it a fertile
soil in which to become rooted, to grow and to spread.
It became an ominous threat to our future existence as a free nation
only when vast hordes of Americans, in the highest, the lowest
and all intervening levels of life, deserted to the enemy like rats from
a sinking ship and trailed off after strange and alien social, political
and economic philosophies of government which were imported to
these shores for the very purpose of indoctrinating, brainwashing and
subverting the faint-hearted, the weak-minded and the soft-headed
among us.
The poison of these alien doctrines has been gradually injected into
the American bloodstream and has seeped into every form of organized
activity in which Americans take part, the most vital of these being
the government, the churches and the schools.
The deadly effect of this alien virus in undermining private
morals, perverting educational st~ndards and uprooting spiritual values
is beyond human power to compute but its contribution toward the impaired
integrity, honesty and principle of the nation's top governing
authorities is reflected in such official fiascoes as the Conference at
Yalta where our friendly allies were betrayed into the hands of the
Soviets in return for Russia's participation in a war that was already
won.
It was reflected in the number of enemy agents who were harbored
and hidden away in Federal government agencies and protected
from exposure until the statute of limitation had expired and they were
exempt from prosecution for their treasonable crimes.
It was reflected in the betrayal of Chiang Kai-Shek, a friendly ally
of the United States. when China was allowed to fall to the Communists
by the American State Department "without letting it appear that
she was pushed", and by our neglect to furnish adequate military aid to
the Nationalist government while there was still time to save that
great empire from frustrating exile on a bleak and lonely isle.
It was reflected in Korea when orders from Washington turned
back American forces at the Yalu River in order that the Chinese
Communists might win and by the recall of America's greatest general
because of his basic belief in the principle that "in war there is no
substitute for victory."
It is reflected in the endless parade of intellectuals, educators
and assorted subversives before Washington investigating committees
who cover their worthless hides with the fifth amendment in order to
conceal acts of treason against the country of their birth or adoption
and by the hundreds of thousands of pages of printed matter on Jile in
the National archives attesting to acts of disloyalty on a scale without
equal in recorded history.
It was reflected in the action of the American Congress in surrendering
its Constitutional authority to levy tariff duties to the Executive
branch of the government with the eventual reposing of this authority
in a foreign clique of internationalists at Geneva who are using
it to gradually smother American Free Enterprise and kill off private
industry in the United States.
It was reflected in the action of members of the United States Sen·
ate who, without the consent of the governed, voted us into the Communist-
controlled United Nations with its terrifying implication of superseding
authority, paramount sovereignty and overriding power to order
American troops into battle in any and every sector of the world.
It is reflected in unconscionable grants of foreign aid. reckless and
irresponsible squandering of the taxpayers money and in the building
up of an unprecedented national debt piled up for unborn generations
to pay in line with the program laid down by Marx and Engels for
bringing Capitalist Republics to an inglorious end.
It is reflected in the shipping of billions of dollars worth of stra ..
tegic war materials from this country to so-called allies with the secret
understanding that much of these goods would be re-shipped to Russia
for building up the Soviet war machine.
It was reflected in the disclosure by. an official committee of the
Congress that 8,000.000 American GI's were subjected to brainwashing
during World War II by pro-Communists in our own army and who
were on the pay-roll of the United States.
It is reflected in thousands of secret treaties and agreements entered
into by this country with foreign nations without the approval and
consent of the United States Senate as provided in the Constitution and
without the knowledge of the American people who must put up the
money to finance the commitments which these secret treaties and
agreements involve.
To enumerate, one by one. official acts which have reacted against
the interests of the United States and to specify the groups and individuals
who have succumbed to anti-American propaganda, joined in the
crusade by international conspirators to overthrow the American form
of government and who have given their support to programs which
give aid and comfort to the enemy. would require one hundred times
more space than this publication affords.
That task being impossible, our purpose would be served if the
rank and file of American citizens could be jarred into a realization
that it is not merely the "liberal" element in Washington, in the
churches. the schools, in the entertainment industry, in labor
unions and in social, literary and cultural groups, whom they must
fight. If this were true, their battle for the restoration of Constitutional
Government in the United States would be greatly simplified and the
chance for eventual victory materially enhanced.
They are fighting a worldwide apparatus compounded equally of
foreign enemies and domestic traitors who have salved their conscience,
if any, by divesting disloyalty of its evil meaning and clothing it in the
bright and shining vestments of international cooperation, world
brotherhood and universal good will.
Th~Y. are fi~hting international conspiracy in the foreign field
and lnd1v1dual disloyalty and collective treason on the home front.
February, 1957 THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE
We Now Write 'Finis' Campaign For Sound Government
To A Very Poor Joke To Swing Into Action Soon
As we were sure it would, our
editorial last month in which we told
of the bright suggestion by some of
our readers to the effect that since
we were a mere woman and not ex~
i*Cted to know the fine points of
politics, there must be a male "ghost~
writer" who did our stuff, touctled off
rome amusing reactions from those
who have known us a long time, as
well as from more recent friends who
know us only through the columns of
the Southern Conservative.
Some of the communications con~
cerning it can't be reproduced because
of unflattering references to those
making such suggestion but a few excerpts
may be interesting:
From a seven-year reader of our
paper in San Francisco ''Where are
these "ghost" fellows to be had? I
could certainly use one and especially
if he can write like yours'~ (You
can get them by applying to the "Ghost
Exchange" or just bidding for them
on the open market).
Strong impetus has been given
to the national protest against Socialist
policies of government by
the heads of four large Southern
banks who have asked support of
the program of the Campaign
for the 48 States which seeks to
restore Constitutional Government
in the United States.
Specifically the presidents of
four of the large financial institutions
in Memphis, Tennessee,
where headquarters of the Campaign
for the 48 States is located
are seeking to work up interest in
passage of the Byrd-Bridges
amendment to the Constitution
which is one of the announced objectives
of the Campaign program.
Amendment the Campaign for the
48 States hopes to see four other
amendments to the Constitution
approved by the necessary majority
of the state legislatures.
These are the Reed-Dirksen
Amendment to place a ceiling on
income taxes, the Mundt-Coudert
amendment for the reform of the
electoral college, the Reed-Walter
Amendment giving to 36 states full
power to amend the Constitution
without the intervention of Congress,
and the Bricker Amendment
to prevent the overriding of
our Constitution and our domestic
law by abuse of the treaty
power.
Under the slogan "Is America
worth a penny a day to you" ?,
the Campaign is seeking public
financial support in the amount
of $3.65 per year per capita and
in order to acquaint the American
people with its program is putting
on a series of television films,
each one dramatizing one of its
sponsored amendments.
These films are to be shown in
many major cities throughout the
country.

Is There Only One Side
In Civil Rights Issue?
Out in Stockton, California , a
Negro man sailed into a barbershop
operated solely for white
people and demanded a hair cut.
He was, of course, refused.
He sued the owner of the shop
and a character on the Municipal
Bench awarded him "damages" of
$200. Half of this was for violation
of his "civil rights" and haH
was for the "humiliation" he suffered
.
Now, the owner of the shop
would have suffered untold "damages"
if he had cut the Negro's
hair because of the loss of white
customers, to say nothing of the
"humiliation" he would have undergone
in performing such a service.
So, what about the white man's
ucivil Rights11 or doesn't he have
any? Are "Civil Rights" the sacred
and exclusive prerogative of persons
with black skins?
We again respectfully warn lawmakers
that it is dangerous and
portentous business to view any is·
sue that comes before them as having
only one side and especially
in a matter with such potentiali4
ties for widespread catastrophe.
From a Tulsa business man: "Just
whose leg do you think you are pull ..
tng when you state that the joke
bon you. No person with the intellect
of a moron would permit the thought
of a 'ghost-writer' as it relates to your
fine Jlaper to enter their thick head.
Your style of writing, along with the
spice that is mixed Into every phrase
can only come from experience and
from a fertile mind that is honest
in its convjctions. A 'ghost-writer' who
is honest or has convictions does not
exist. You are to be commended for
your excellent work in 'reporting what
the smart guys do'. That kind of reporting
takes a keen mind, a sharp
eye and e-ar and the inclination to
use them honestly and with a purpose
... What I am trying to say is
that God gave you a good mind and
you cultivated it and it bears fruit.
Keep up the good work." (Thank you
very mu ~ h. We will try to keep it up
as long as possible or at least until
our 'ghost' runs out on us.)
This amendment would require
annual balancing of the Federal
budget except in times of national
emergency and in urging that it
be adopted, the Memphis financial
leaders wrote prominent bankers
throughout the nation pointing out
that this proposed amendment
sponsored by Senators Harry F.
Byrd of Virginia and Styles
Bridges of New Hampshire will
help to curb inflation. "We, as
custodians of the currency wealth
of this country, have a profound
responsibility to resist further depreciation
of our currency" the
letter said in part.
Foreigners Given
Destroy American
Power To
Industry
From a Fort Worth friend and sub~
scriber: "And now I have heard everything!
A 'ghost' of Ida Darden. Would
that there were many such and that
they all had a Southern Conservative.
May the 'ghost' in your future remain
as real as the 'ghost' in your past".
(Thanks a million).
From a long time friend in San
AntQnio "Tell me this. Did the same
'ghost-writer' you use now write 'Gentlemen
of the House' which caused
me to split my sides in 1947 and 'My
Night' in 1952 which also put me in
the aisle. They all sound alike to
me". (No we had a different 'ghost'
for each job. You have to catch 'em
as you can when they're not busy on
a similar assignment).
From a subscriber in New Orleans:
11What I want to know Is how do you
go about contacting a 'ghost'. Do you
meet him on Friday night near a
cemetery in the dark of the moon,
or what?'' (No, he comes to the office
in broad daylight disguised as
a peddler with a long white beard and
a pack on his back. We carefully lOck
the door, accept his 'ghostly' copy,
pay him off in Confederate money and
he then crawls down the !ire escape.
It's very simple).
From a former lawmaker from a
Southern State: "Thanks for the mark~
ed ropy of the editorial in your paper
concerning the ridiculous suggestion
about a 'ghost-writer' for one of the
most brilliant persons with a pen that
I have ever known ... I found myself
thinking of the wonderful address
which our late friend, . . . ,
made at the auditorium of the Brown

Palace Hotel in Denver some years
ago. I have forgotten the subject mat~
ter but recall that he bro'iKht down
the house. What I have always remembered
is seeing you sitting there,
dead-pan, in the audience and applauding
with all the rest. This stuck
in my memory because later, while
having a drink with the speaker in his
suite, he told me confidentially that
you had written his speech. I am sure
you remember the occasion to which
I refer". (We had forgotten the in·
cidcnt but thanks for reminding us.
It helps to heal our wounded pride).
From a personal friend in Austin: "1
read in your own paper several years
ago a phrase which I cut out and kept
because it struck me as being so well
expressed. This phrase was 'Envy al·
ways snarls at the heels of distinction'.
Could it be that litis applies
in the case referred to in your editorial?"
(We can think of nothing
about us to incite envy in others).
From one of our good friends and
contributors in Chicago: "If there is
a man who can write as you canand
frankly, I don't think there iswhy
would he noL use this great
God-given talent to his own glorification
instead of letting you have
the credit?" (Perhaps the guy is a
convert to the new school of thought
and wants to share his intellect tal
wealth with one who is mentally under-
privileged ),
There were many more communications
but the above are typical and,
any way, we are sick of the subject.
It doesn't seem funny to us any more
and we shall never refer to it again.
There are too many important and
pressing things to discu9S,
Americans who have r egar d and
respect for the American free ente r prise
system must have been aghast
at the deadly blow dealt the great
American text ile industry the da~·
alter the Presidential Inauguration.
It will be remembered that the
right of the Congress of the United
States to write tariff laws, as speci·
tied in the Constitution, was surrendered
by that body to the President
during Roosevelt's first term of
office. He transferred this authority
to the State Department which then,
as nowr was clogged with internationalists,
one-worlders and assorted
eggheads with pro-Communist l ea n ~
ings.
Eventually, this authority was
taken entirely out of the United States
and invested in a nest of internationalists
in Geneva and there it remains
today under the name of GATT.
These Red birds have all the say-so
in tariff matters and if their decisions
result in harm and disaster to
American business and to the working
people of the United States, it is
just too bad. It was planned that
way.
One of U1e disastrous eHects of this
insidious one-world set-up, is that
Japan is flooding American markets
with certa-in textiles produced with
cheap labor in that country U1ereby
providing unfair competition which
threatens the future of the American
textile industry.
It was the creators of the wealth
of the United States who made
this the strongest and greatest nation
on earth. The Federal government
produced nothing but
administrators of that gove1·nment
would now take over this wealth
and re-distribute it over all the
world. Such behavior is the pre·
lude to the fall of any nation unless
the people rise up in righteous
anger and demand that the
evil and immoral policy of giving
away their substance be forever
halted.
There is some k ind of a gimmick
in this GATT thing called an "escape
clause" under wh ich the P reside nt
of the United States can revoke GATT
decisio w,Pen, ln his opinion or
that of the U.S. Tari!£ Commission,
American industry is being harmed
by foreign imports
Officials of the textile industry
protested the Japanese importations
and gave figures and data proving
that the American textile industry
could not survive without relief from
this unfair competition. The Tari(f
Commission agreed with the textile
manufacturers and recommended that
Japanese imports be cut down. This
information was furnished the President
before the election and his reaction
was that he wanted to "study"
the situation and would postpone his
decision until later.
His decision came one day atter
inauguration and the textile manufacturers
were told that he had decided
no relief was needed. lie added
however, that he felt sure the Japa nese
would voluntarily res tri ct the ir
importations if requested to do so.
And so the future of a great
American industry built by the brains.
initiative and dreams of ta:-<paying
American citizens is subj ect to the
whims and fancies of Asi atics who
may, or may not, grant it the privilege
of continuing to exi st.
When will the Ameri can peo ple
come to their senses, realize what is
beginning to happen to them and
take back their country before it is
irrevocably lost?
It would be indeed regrettable
if the press reports coming out
of England concerning a possible
rift between Queen Elizabeth and
her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh,
should prove to be true.
But there are many who would
feel that it would be a sort of
poetic justice for the Royal Family
which dealt such miseTy to
the Duke of Windsor and Princess
Margaret.

Just as we were going to press,
a communication was received
from an Indian newspaper man
with a news service association
in Bombay, India. "Having read

desirious of having it regularly"
he writes. 11As a press man, I write
herewith for my name to be put
on its mailinx list for the future.
In return, suitable items will have
publicity".
While we don't imagine the
things we have said about Mr.
Nehru will get much publicity in
India, we are glad to accommodate
the Indian gentleman of the
press and are putting him on our

k11ew what our policy is now!
The following assertion did not
appear in the Daily Worker or in
Pravda nor was it a declaration by
the American branch of the Communist
Party of its position on integration.
It was carried in a widely-circulated
Protestant Church publication,
the Christian Century, :which
is sent by mail into Christian
homes all over the United States:
"Once more, every morning, the
paper brings pictures of the action
of viciously obsolete minds, the
racial superiority fanatics, whether
they are just citizens defying the
United States in white men's councils
or hooligans parading in nightshirts.
"At a time when our country, including
emphatically the South, is
sruggling with a difficult problem,
these bedraggled Rip Van Winkles
live in a world that has passed
them by. They are survivors of a
savage world, belated Yahoos who
go around throwing stones at little
children and shooting men and
women in buses. They bear the
date "B. C."
This intemperate outburst in a
publication which constant I y
preaches "tolerance" was not published
as a letter from some degenerate
guttersnipe from Skid
Row, but was the offering of one
"Simeon Stylites" who conducts a
regular column in the Century.
The name, of course, is obviously
fictitious adopted by one who is
too cowardly to write under his
correct one.
Examples are legion but this is
one of the most vivid which shows
the depths to which the Houses of
God are being dragged by professional
church politicians who,
masking under the guise of religion,
are mustering every available
influence to effectuate Communist
demands for the humiliation
and defilement of the White
people of the South.

Dallas firemen, after a long

Whatever merits, or evils. there
may be in organized labor, for industrial

no justification for municipal
fire departments to become involved
in union politics, and tactics.
When some dispute as to hours
and wages arises between the firemen
and the city of Dallas, the
people of Dallas are going to be
out of luck so far as fire protection
is concerned, if union procedure is
observed.
If a disastrous fire breaks out,
and these fitemen run true to
union form, they will refuse to put
out the blaze or to let any one else
put it out.
They will form a picket line
around the burning building and

Mary Knowles the Pennsylvania

fifty-two counts of contempt of
Congress has been sentenced to
120 days in jail and fined $500.00.
The indictment grew out of her
refusal to answer questions propounded
to her by a Committee of
Congress concerning her alleged
Communist affiliation.
She was one of the most arrogant,
insolent and uncooperative
witnesses ever to be intecrogated
by those probing into the net-work
of Soviet activities of the United
States.
She is now out on bond and has
given notice that she will appeal
the case to the United States Supreme

Tie Stassen to A Bed Post
"It is a fallacy to believe that
merely 'getting closer' to other
people is the way to end wars; the
greatest conflicts have been between
the closest people - beginning
with Cain and Abel" -
Columnist Sydney J. Harris.
In the;;e few words, this writer
has pinpointed one of the greatest
misconceptions of the age. On
every hand we are showered with
propaganda concerning "World
Brotherhood" the need to cultivate
other peoples including the Russians
and are assured that the most
infallible prescription for peace is
to make buddies of all foreigners.
This is pure, undiluted and unadultered
bunk. Just the opposite
is true and it is because we have
poked our long meddling nose into
the affairs of all nations of the
world that we are on the verge of
war today.
As long as this country followed
the policy of non-interference in
the internal affairs of other nations,
as laid down by our great
-statesmen of an earlier day, there
was peace on earth and .'!'ood will
among men.· It was only when
Roosevelt came along with his
Marxian theory of "sharing the
wealth" and his proposal for a
one-world government in which
the political, social and. economic
policies of all countries would
all be thrown into one pot, that
nations began to hate each other.
As a result, the United States,
which was once the most respected
and feared nation on earth, has
plummeted to the bottom in international
regard and esteem.
There has never been invented
any sounder slogan than that immortal
phrase which tells us that
"familiarity breeds contemot" and
this applies equally to a couple of
old women who get chummy and
gossip over the back-yard fence
and then end up in a fight and
nosey· diplomats of a government
who poke, probe and pry into the
internal affairs of another nation
and wind up in name-calling,
charges and counter-charges with
mutual hatred as the end result.
If it were possible to put a gag
in the big fat mouth of every internationalist
in Washington and
chain the Secretary of State to his
desk for the duration, we would
make amazing strides toward real
peace in the next four years.
Since many lawmakers l i k e
other segments of the American
people have gone mildly insane on
the subject of acivU rights" for
Negroes, one of the measures on
the subject introduced in Congress
is something to "curl the
hair" of advocates of orderly gov·
ernment procedure. Reversing all
previous conceptions of admini~
strative justice, this m e as u r e
would punish perpetrators of a
crime before the crime is committed.
Anticipating that some Negro
might be denied the right to
vote through disqualification or
other causes, it would allow the
Federal government to !leek court
orders in advance of an election
and use its injunctive powers to
prevent what they think might
happen. Under present law, a
crime must be committed before
it is punished.
Even though there is "nary a
man, around the place and never
has been, almost half of the let·
ters we get begin with uDear Sirs''
or "Gentlemen".

Said Raymond Moley in his
column on January 21, the day
of President Eisenhower's inauguration
for his second term as
President: "The President's budget
creates an issue that transcends
party and sectional differences.
It is, in effect, a program
for a welfare state not quite so
complete in detail as that which
the British Conservative Party inherited
from the Socialists in
1951, but much more expensive.
A President who promised in
1952 to make strenuous efforts to
Teturn some of the functions of
government from the Federal
government to the States and local
communities and to restore
some of the tax sources which
have been stolen by Congress to
r· "'lr them, and who brought
c ··e creation of a commission
to · plans for that purpose,
-has ~...~";mrently changed his mind.
Instead of strengthening state and
local responsibility, this program,
if accepted, would weaken it perhaps
beyond all hope."
Mr. David Lawrence says in his
column that London should- some
day build a monument to Mr.
John Foster Dulles uthe man who
saved England from economic
collapse in 1956". How about them
building a monument to the suckers
over here who have been saving
them from economic collapse
for years and putting up the
money for t1ti.~ economic salvation?
He said further that in the
Suez matter "it was Eisenhower
and Dulles who saved the world
from disaster'•. When a nation is
in debt nearly three hundred billion
dollars, that sounds like that
nation is perilously near disaster
and economic collapse to a dope
like us. Maybe if we could get
them to take a look at this horrendous
debt of our own country,
they might pitch in and save us.
Strangely enough, it is not only
subversives who drop blockbusters
in the path of patrio.tic citizcng who
are trying to alert others to the perils
facing the nation in this dark hour
of history.
Many who regard themselves as
patriots and Conservatives are also
contributing their bit to discourage
all organized or Individual activity
in the interest of restoring Constitutional
government.
In some instances, more time must
be spent by those concerned in the
future of the Republic in keeping socalled
Conservatives in line than
in combatting the subversive action
of Liberals.
Their methods of procedure might
best be described as "delaying tactics."
They hold an over-cautious attitude
where boldness and aggressive
fiction is called for; they express fear
and doubt where confidence is imperative
and have an apparent irresistible
impulse lo throw a monkeywrench
in the machinery when any
group or individual gives evidence
of making headway in the exposure
of corrupt policies in government.
One of the favorite devices of such
timid and chicken-hearted Americans
is to whisper the warning: "that issue
is controversial" or "that organization
is controversial" or "that individual
b controversial" and, somehow,
they are able to convey the im·
pression that "controversy" and "leprosy"
are invested with the same
meaning.
Ye gods! What in the name of all
that's Holy is going on in the world
now that is not "controversial," with
good Americans lined up on one side
and Reds on the other? And if the
issue is not "controversial" what point
is there in discussing it? Why support
patriotic movements at all if we are
going to shy away from tht. dicussion
of dangerous policies of government
because we may offend those on the
other side? Why not just sit back
and play canasta, go to the movies
or catch up on our tatting?
As for us, bring on your "controversial"
issues and the more "controversial,"
the better we will love wad·
ing in with both feet. We may get
knocked down stepped on and our
eye blackened but when we get 1,1p,
dust ourself off and apply raw meat
to the shiner, we will still have a
deep, profound and abiding respect
for ourself, a feeling which human
·weasels will never be given to ex-perience.
We will have the consolation of
recognizing in ourself an independent,
unintimidated and unafraid
American citizen daring to plead for
the principles in which we believe
and not a scared human rabbit ready
to dart away and run for cover at
the first sound of a breaking twig.
Enforcement of Basic Law Rather
Than New Legislation Is Answer
Many bills have been introduced
in the Texas Legislature at its cur·
rent session cOncerning Segregation.
The purpose of this legislation,
o! course, is to defeat the evils of
race-mixing as decreed by the Supreme
Court in its notorious rul~
ing in May, 1954.
Texas already has a provision in
its Constitution, as well as statutory
legislation, providing for separate
schools for Whites and Negroes
and since the Supreme Court
has no authority whatever to legislate
or to amend State Constitutions,
additional legislation would
seem to be superfluous.
In our opinion what all Southern
States need is not more legislation
on the subject but more courage on
the part of those charged with administering
the laws of such States
and a little fundamenal knowledge
concerning the American Constitution
which invests them with
authority to run their own affairs.
From a member of the Congress
of the United States: " I feel that
you are doing a great service to
constitutional government, liberty
and freedom, by publishing the
Southern Conservative.,.
F,-om a memP._er of the National
Press Club in Washington: "You
surely are turning out good copy
and I enjoyed the January edition
especially. It has a point, which
so much in print today lacks. It is
so different from the weaseling of
neutrals and the treacherous logic
of the internationalists. God bless
you and keep you always."
Sponsors of 'Rush' Act
Legislation Called Down
Every citizen of Texas owes a debt
of grati_tude to a prominent Fort
Worth attorney who, almost singlehanded
and alone, is making a fight
against further encroachment of government
on the rights of the people.
The attorney is the Honorable Gillis
Johnson and the measure he at~
tacked before legislative committees
in Austin recently is a bill spo9sored
by the State Highway Department
which would make it easier for a
citizen's property to be condemned
and taken away fl·om him for the
purpose of building the multi-million
dollar Federal highway aid program.
The State already has adequate laws
on the subject but highway officials,
perhaps trying to ape Washington behavior,
want to whittle away State
statutes in favor of Federal procedure
in the matter.
Repeating the old saw which has
been worn threadbare, State Highway
Commissioner, DeWitt Greer warned
that .. it was necessary for Lhe SLate
to administer the buying program because
if it doesn't, the Federal government
will".
Mr. John.:;on was unimpressed with
this argwncnt and des.:ribed both
Federal and State action in terms that
could not be challenged: ''One holds
the properly owner while the other
one operates on him and the two ·do
a perfect job".
'l'he "rush act'' legislation which the
State Highway Department is demanding
will put the landowner at the
mercy of this agency, Mr. Johnson
charged and added:
'·The proposed law will enable the
Slate to file a proceeding and thirty
minutes later, to chase the landowner
oU his property with a bulldozer".
An Example of Deficit
Spending Gone to Seed
The Federal government is over ..
$280,000,000,000.00 in debt and
this obligation grows steadily each
year.
And yet the demand for Federal
aid to school legislation is based
on the theory that some States of
the Union are not financially able
to build the schools they need.
The States generally are in good
financial condition and can build
their own schools. If school authorities,
prodded by the National Education
Association, would keep out
of it, the agitation for "Federal
Aid" would die down and be !or~
gotten.
But as it is, the Federal Govern~
ment which is in debt $280,000,-
000,000.00 argues that it is the
responsibility of the Federal trea~
sury to build schools for the bene-fit
of the States who are, generally
speaking, not in debt and can
handle their own building pro- .. ~
grams, or, if they can't, can make
do with wh<lt they have.
We submit that such a line of
reasoning can emanate !rpm only
two sources--one o! them is Washington
and the other is an insane
asvlum.
It took some doing but the Supreme
Court managed to come up
with a ruling in favor of Russian~
born Ben Gold who had been con~
victed of filing a false non-Communist
oath .1mder the Taft .. Hart·
ley law and sentenced to prison
for from one to three years. By
his own admission Gold was a
Communist for thi1·ty yean and
was once a member of the Party's
Central Committee. The High
Court OTdered a new trial for
Gold on the ground that uan FBI
agent had talked to the jurJJ that
convicted him~' and that this was
"an invasion of the privof'l/ of the
jury". Three Justices d;ssPnted
and said this had no effect on the
jury. But the point is Golrl is not
going to prison unless a verdict
in a new trial so directs.
An Alabama· Negro sentenced
to death for burglary with intent -
to rape has been 1·escued by the
Supreme Court. Chief Justice
Warren said in handing dr·•m the
ruling which snatched the Negro
baclc from the elect1·ic cTtair: "The
totality of the circumstances that
preceded the confessions in this
case goes beyond the allowable
limits''. He said also that the Constitution
had been violated in use
of the confession of the Negro in
the trial, but he didn't say a thing
about what the Negro had viola~
ted when he broke into a woman's
home and attacked her. Three justices
dissented. ------
Latest headache for the "Eisenhower
doctrine·· is the 1·ejusal of
the Israelis to abandon t11e Gnza
strip. The United States helped to
drive the Arabs out of their homes
and financed the new nation
whose leaders now turn on their -
benefactors and refuse to play
ball. Tlte tragedy is tlwt all the
trouble in the Middle East and
all other sectors could have been
avoided if this country had just
attended to its own business and
let every other nation do the same.
Meddling and interfernce in tll.ings
that do not concern us is a suicidal
policy and even though this will
not be admitted, it is being proved
every day all over the world.

Our contention that anybody The mayor of New York, Robert
Rev. John Howland Lathrop of
Brooklyn, h e a d of the Euthanasia
Society of New York, a group which
advocates the killing off of hopelessly
Jll persons has secured the introduction
of a bill in the New Jersey
legislature which would put this inhuman
practice Into effect.
No reason was given as to why New
Jersey was selected but it could be
that since high-ranking school authorities
there have predicted publicly
that within a few years the singing of

it Is considered a fertile field for the
experiment.
Unbelievably, 166 New Jersey
physicians sponsored the ghastly measure
although the State Medical Association
is reported to have opposed
it. It Is hard to understand why members
of a profession dedicated to healIng
the ills of the htlman race should
come out lor such cold-blooded murder
but it is possible that these 166
physicians had patients who were behind
on their payments and they
figured that their insurance money
would settle up the accounts in full.
As hard as it is to understand the
attitude of the physicians, it is impossible
to conceive of a minister o(
the gospel heading an outfit which is
a sort of modified version of Murder,

part of New York officials is understandable
since they want to be
elected again and know what it
takes. It was a concession to votes,
not defense of a principle.
In Washington, the Arabian official
was given a royal welcome
but we doubt that the canny Saud
considered all the hoop-la in his
honor constituted atonement for
the part the United States played
in selling the Arabs out, driving
them from their homes and depriving
them of their "Civil Rights"
as well as of their property.
King Saud is a powerful figure

is deemed a breach of discipline, I

With this forthright admission that
he anticipates his disassociation with
his foreign service post immediately
i! not sooner, Charles Edmundson,
American government information of.
ficial in Tokyo since 1949, proceeded
to put his head in a noose rather
than remain silent in the face of
what he considers a dangerous and
suicidal policy of this country concerning
the Middle East.
First, he made it clear that he considers
the President's "call !or a
blank check to make war as he sees
lit" a demand that Congress abdicate
the duties and prerogatives invested
in it by the Constitution.
"l( America is ready to take such
a chance of war, we should have
taken it in Hungary where the moral
imperative would have been clear",
Edmundson stated and conlinued·
''Neither President Eisenhower nor
- any other American would think of
''A Policy of Peril ... It is a fact
that a two-thirds vote of the
United Nations General Assemblu
can conumt the United States military
forces to action anywhere

letting atomic bases be planted in
close proximity to us. We have no
moral or inherent international right
to plant them thousands of miles from
our own shores, under the noses of
other nations."
For good measure, Edmundson
threw in a criticism of the State De·
partment for refusing to let American
reporters go to Red China and
ventured the reason was "that the
State Department fears that news
correspondents might reveal operations
of the Central Intelligence
Agency or other intelligence personnel
active there".
While waiting for news that this
fearless government official has been
drawn and quartered by Washington
and his remains thrown in the
Potomac, we are wondering who
slipped up and allowed an outspok·
en, !orthright and honest American
citizen to become connected with the
State Department payroll, any way.
If the one who hired him Is still
around, he will probably get the
heave-ho, too.
(Editor's note: Our prediction came
true. Scarcely had the wires carrying
Mr. Edmundson's frank statement
cooled off until a request for his
resignation came from Washington).
One of the things that is beyond
our understanding is that this
country should have objected so
strenuously when England an d
France invaded Egypt and yet the
President of the United States is
asking for authority to do the
same thing? By what line of reasoning
is it wrong for those countries
to send troops into the Middle
East and right for the United
States to go in and take over.
Concerning the e:rpenditure of
public monies, the Constitution
of the United States says in Article
I: "No money shall be drawn
from the Treasury but in consequence
of appropriations made by
law; and a regulm· statement and
account of the receipts and expenditures
of all public money shall
be published from time to time".
To find out whether or not this

the Federal government during

purposes-every penny--and this

All of it. And see where you
get. You'!! get the brush-off because
no man, nor set of men, can
give that information and if they
could, they wouldn't.
In suggesting that Congress may
have to fix Ote price of oil, Senator
Joseph C. O'Mahoney of Wyoming
said: "Everybody will agree
that, as objectionable as price-fixing
is when carried on by the
government, it would be far worse
if carried on by private operators."'
Karl Marx could not have
said it any better.
We K11ow About Zwicker but
Who Promoted Peress?
One of the first recommendations
to Congress by the President
at the beginning of his second term
was for the promotion of General
Ralph W. Zwicker to major general.
Zwicker, it will be remembered,
was in command of Camp Kilmer
New J er sey in 1954 when investi~
gators alleged that enemy agents
were swarming all over the place.
The matter was hushed up when
Communist sympathizers in the
Senate were able to get the fire
diverted from these alleged enemy
agents to Senator Joseph R. McCarthy
whose committee had made
the disclosures.
Any way, this requested promotion
of Zwicker revives the still
unanswered question concerning
Irving Peress one- of those who
was closely associated with Zwicker
at Camp Kilmer and who refused
to answer 9uestions as to
whether or not he was a Comm
unist. That question is:
Who p romoted Peress?
Schools not Welfare Agencies
Says Noted Texas Schoolman
The Superintendent of the Dallas
Public School System, w. T. White
has made a sound analysis of some of
the evils which prevent the schools
from rendermg the serv1ce of wh1ch
they are capable.
The schools should not be made
welfare agencies the noted school administrator
said and pupils in need
of the services of wcU'arc agencies
should be sent there directly. He
pointed out that it is not the proper
function of tHe school to feed, clothC"
and provide housing and medical care
to school children.
While he feels that teachers should
remain conscious of the needs of the
indigent, he believes that the care of
and help to these children should be
provided by the agencies designed for
such purposes.
He expressed the opinion also that
the school should not serve as a
semi-penal institution. "When the
young people become so offensive in
their criminal intent or incorrigibility
that the welfare, morals and wellbeing
of the rest of the student body
are endangered by their presence, they
should be separated from the institu·
lion." Mr. White asserted .and added
that presumably the State has other
means and methods of handling incorrigible
and criminall y - inclined
youth.
This wholesome viewpoint is espedally
encouraging coming as it does
from an outstanding educator many
of whose colleagues in the profession
bold opposite views.
One of the reasons for the breakdown
in scholastic standards is because
far too many teachers have a
perverted conception of their jobs,
and have greatly exaggerated their responsibility
in the schpolroom. This
misconception is the result of propaganda
of the National Education Association
which has sold many teachers
on the idea that it is their ftmction
to shape the social and political thinking
of students and "prepare them for
citizenship in the world of tomorrow."
The parents also musl accept a
large share of the blame for not demanding
the immediate firing or
resignation of any teacher who de·
parts from his exclusive role as teacher
of prescribed subjects and seeks to
exercise thought control over the pu·
pils entrusted to his care.
Re-distribution of wealth and
property by !aw is public theft
and legalized burglary.
Although this indefensible condition
was not news, it became another
hot issue when a member of Congress,
Hon. Usher Burdick of South Dakota
had the information printed in the
Congressional Record and released it
in circular form to the people of his
state. Pointing out that nobody bui
Russians had ever held this position.
Congressman Burdick· said·
This means that since the Security
Council was organized the Russians,
through the secretary, have
had close touch with all military
plans. 'I1le directives to MacArthur
and the reports coming from him
passed through the hands of this
secretary. Now can you realize
what MacArthur was up against in
trying to win the Kor'ean War? Can
you imagine what the commander
of the United Nations' troops in the
Suez zone is up against?
In Article 47, paragraph 3, the
United Nations Charter states:
"The Military StaU Committee
shall be responsible through the
Security Council for the strategic
direction of any a'rmed forces placed
at the disposal of the Security
Council." On January 10, 1957, the
State Department informed me that
.. the Military Staff Committee is
made up of the Chiefs of Staff of
the Security Council, five in number.
Its chainnan rotates every
month in alphab._etical order, and
therefore once every live months
Another evidence of the fine
racial relations which the new
spirit of mongrelization is building
up was presented in San Francisco
recently. The eighteen-year old
wife of a Presidio soldier was
grabbed by a Negro man and
slashed repeatedly across the face
with a razor when she refused to
get in a car with him. The black
criminal was assisted by another
who came up and held the young
white woman while the first one
continued to mutilate her. uwe·u
teach you to treat colored people
right, one of them shouted as
they jumped in their car and sped
away. Full details of the dastardly
attack were carried in the San
Francisco News January 29th.
A very fine and outstanding
member of Congress who retired
on January 3rd, not having run
for re-election, writes us that he
had received the Southern Conservative
for so long while in that
job that he could not get along
without it now. He sent a check
for subscription and paid us the
great compliment of saying during
his long years in the Congress,
during which time he was a member
of a powerful Committee of
the House, uthe Southern Conservative
was not only a source of
information but a source of encouragement11.
Such appreciation
for our small efforts is genuinely
heart-warming.
If all the other reasons I have
given for the ouster of the Russians
from the United Nations are swept
aside, this last reason is unanswerable.
U we continue the practice,
we can win no war that might start
if it is to be checked by the Security
Council. What is the use of
declaring war or engaging in
another Korea n catastrophe?
Haven't we common sense, or are
we playing ball with the Russians,
and a_t .the same time talking about
stoppmg the spread of communism?
What will happen to our troops under
this set-u,p if we give the President
the power to send them into
war without the consent of Con-gress?
If we have the least glimmering
hope of bringing about world peace,
let us oust the Russians and get
down to patriotic business. We are
in a situation where we are engaged
in a cold war against Russia,
with a Russian at the helm, getting
all the information about troops
and supplies, ammunition, and the
size of our forces, where they intend
to attack, and when.
I don't suppose I can awaken the
sleeping guards of this country to
a situation that is steeped in betrayal.
A:re we men or mice?
Secretary of the TreasurY Humphrey
announced, following the
submission of the budget to Congress
by the President in which
he asked for almost $72,000,000,-
000.00, that unless sharp slashes
are made in government taxation
and spending this country is in
for a depression "that will curl
your hair11. So, it looks like a lot
of permanent wave operators are
going to be put out of business
because the President is not about
to call a halt on spending, taxes
or plans for one-world government.
Over in Liberia, there is a law
which prevents a white man
from even voting in that colored
country. There is a job all cut
out for the chuckle-heads in the
United States who are so deeply
concerned over racial"discrimination".
We wish they would all
take off for Liberia where they
would find a wide field for their
talents, except they never get
worked up unless the Negro is the
object of "discrimination". White
persons don't count.
When unlimited and unrestrained
taxi~g power is granted to
government, freedom is crushed to
earth and slavery takes its place.
In view of the fact that practica11y
all schools in Houston, both white and
colored, have temporary buildings on
the grounds and that many white children
have to ride the bus much longer
than fifteen minutes to reach their
destination, the flimsy deception apparently
made little impression on the
judge.
He refused to Jssue the temporary
injunction on the ground that the
plea was n()t a proper subject for a
temporary injunction and announced
he would set a hearing for the case
on its merits in May or June.
Certain newspapers who invariably
twist, distort and slant all articles
having to do with their favorite subject
of integration, carried headlines
indica ting that the hearing was a victory
for the Negroes and that colored'
students would be allowed in Houston
schools beginning with the Spring
term .
This was the exact opposite from
the truth.
When asked on the "Meet the
Press" program recently if the
Federal Government did not have
2,500,000 employes on its payroll,
the Honorable George M. Humphrey
replied that he did not
know. After all, he is merely the
Secretary of the Treasury of the
United States, an agency whose
function it is to collect t1ie money
which has been fleeced from the
taxpayers to pay the salaries of
this army of human barnacles on
the Ship of State.
The American Association of
University Women, in its Legislative
program, announces support
of "federal aid under state control"
but they failed to make clear
what conditions could possibly
exist under which a State that
took federal aid for its schools
could continue to exercise control.
Women of education such as those
comprising this group generally,
are too intelligent to swallow any
such tripe as this and it must be
the case with that organization, as
with so many others, that a few
pinkos are running the show.
Bruce Alger, Congressman from
Dallas, is growing in stature, as
time goes on. He voted against
the Mid East Resolution H. R. 117
which would authorize the President
to send American armed
forces to any place of his choice.
Mr. Alger viewed this, very properly,
as un-Constitutional and
voted against it. Period.
During his entire adult life, he has
lived off a salary from the government,
has never been a producer or
a business man and, until recently,
has not ben a property-owner.
There is something stabilizing about
the possession or property, the necessity
of meeting a payroll and In
wrestling with the problems of production
and those who have had no
experience along this line too often
acquire a biased and slanted conception
of the nation's economy. Also, it
is largely from this class of non-producers
and exclusive consumers that
Socialism recruits its victims.
The President's long experience ln
Army camps and on fhe battl efield
contributed nothing toward fundamental
knowledge of established principles
of the American governing system
and it was probably a realization
of this fact that caused him, in a
burst of honesty in 1950, to warn that
no military man should ever be elected
President of the United States.
There are many also who reel that
he was sound in his views at the beginning
but that he was too naive and'
politically inexperienced to withstand
the pressure from the hordes of Joftwingers
who, almost without exception,
have served as his advisers from
the day following his inauguration in
1953.
But whatever the cause of his defection,
the tragic ract remains that
his major policies deviate little from
those or Roosevelt and Truman nnd
unless Congress takes and maintains
a firm stand in defense of Constitutional
Government, the future o{ the
Republic is clearly outlined to all who
care to read the signs.
When any material comes to
our office, regardless of how interesting
or intriguing it may seem,
if it does not have the sender's
full name and address thereon, it
goes straight to the waste basket.
We do not deal in anonym.ous tips
and get our information f r om
authenticated records, only. There
are enough documented facts
available to shock the American
people into action without 1·esorting
to whispered rumor. Also, we
can tell a fake docutl:tent a mile
away and do not intend to be
tricked into reproducing them.
Any person who is afraid, or
ashamed, to put his correct name
and address on the envelope has
no information that we want.

'To Preserve, Protect and
Defend the Constitution'
Newsmen in Washington and
representatives of other communication
mediums were furious over
the denial of admission to the private
inaugural services of the President
and his apparent determination
to make the event a family
affair.
Charges were openly made that
this was a petty form of dic;tator-
~~~p ri~~~s i~1~~~t~deo~~:~~~! :~~
American form of government.
'We have no opinion about that
phase of the subject for the moment
as our concern was centered
around an entirely different aspect
of the affair.
We were deeply troubled over
the solemnity of the oath which
the President took to "preserve
protect and defend the Constitution"
and puzzled as to how he is
going to reconcile that solemn oath
with the demands he has made of
Congress; for it cannot be disputed
that one cancels out the other.
The President1 by no stretch of
the imagination1 can "preserve,
protect and defend the Constitution"
while at the same time, demanding
that Congress surrender
its authority to declare war to him;
calling for the establishment of a
"Civil Rights" division of the Department
of Justice which will
deny American citizens their Constitutional
rights of trial by Jury;
asking for legislation which will
remove the public school systems
from State control and p lace them
under the jurisdiction of the Federal
government and for confiscation
of American taxpayers money
to be used not in the defense and
internal security of the United
States but for the defense and internal
security of foreign nations.
We pray for the day when the
Presidential oath to 'defend, proect
and preserv~ the Constitution"
will regain its sacred meaning and
again become binding on those
who take it.
If we are able to read the signs
right, subtle propaganda is being
launched in Washington for
feeling out sentiment throughout
the country for the nationalization
of oil. It began with charges that
the increase in the price of petroleum
products is unwarranted
and will contribute to inflation.
That was fo llowed by charges
that the oil industry is taking advantage
of the crisis in the Suez
Canal and is undertaking to profit
financially from the stoppage
of shipment of oil through this
canal. Nothing is being said about
the increase in the price of practically
every product that the
American people use and what
that is doing to inflation. However,
if the oil industry is nationalized
and placed under Federal
control, it will be hard for many
Texans to shed any tears in view
of the millions of dollars contributed
to national campaigns of
candidates for president by wealthy
Texas oil men as revealed in
the press. If they had contributed
this money to various groups
fighting National Socialism, they
would at least have been registering
opposition to nationalization of
thei1· industry instead of inviting
it.
It is an irrefutable law that no
government can survive that denies
the citizen the right to work,
to earn and to own or which seizes
the possessions or property of one
class for the benefit of another.
THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE
Penitent American Makes Atonement
For Sin Against the United States
Twenty years ago, Dr. Bella V. Dodd was ~n educator in .~I:e Eas.~
holding degrees from Hunter College, Columbia, and other hberal
institutions of learning. In such an environment, she was th~ natural
prey of the human vultures seeking ~ecruits to the Com~umst ca~~e
and, like so many of her contemporanes.she was .cau~ht _m the devtl s
trap planted on practically every campus of all mshtuhons of learning.
Unlike most ..of her contemporaries, however, she was l~ter to
escape and finally emerge as one of the nation's most valuable ftghters
against this arch-enemy of civilization.
For many years Dr. Dodd was a member · of the inner councils
of the Party, entrusted with responsible posts held by only a selected
few in promoting the Communist conspiracy in the United States.
In 1949, after gradual disillusionment with the diaboli~ scheme of
atheistic dictators to overthrow the government of the Umted States,
her break with the party was total and complete.
Since that date she has rendered invaluable service to her country
by revealing to investigating committees of Congress the ~nner \~orkings
of the Party and the subtle methods employed to mdoctru:ate
individuals and groups of Americans with the virus of Commumsm.
On last June 14, Dr. Dodd again appeared before an investigating
committee in Washington, by request, and ~er testimony on that .o~casion
has just been released by the subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary
Committee to investigate Internal Security, which interrogated
her.
In this testimony Dr. Dodd gave further information about methods
by which the Communist ~arty infi.ltrated both ~he ~ajor politic~l
parties of this country, how It placed 1ts representatives m the mayors
office under former administrations in New York, in the various congressional
committees in Washington as. counsel and its at~empts to
break down the sovereignty of the vanous States and brmg about
centralization of power in Washington, and eventually to destroy the
sovereignty of the United States.
When asked by Senator Jenner of Indiana "what is your honest
opinion as to whether or not the Communist Party is gaining, standing
still or losing ground in America" the witness replied:
"I think the Communist Party is gaining at an alarming rate. I
think the Communist Party is not gaining that under the label of
Communist, but by having its operators operate under many different
labels under many different titles. But the people who were known
to me' as either Par ty members or associates of the Party, are mounting
to important positions in policy-making, on the industrial .level,
on the communications level and on the governmental level. It 1s the
most terrifying thing to watch and perhaps if I have nev_er suHer::d
anything else, just watching th_is thing growing and. knowm_g the stgnificance,
is something by which perhaps I am bemg castigated for
the evil that I have done myself".
Members of the committee were visibly affected by the seriousness
of this statement from an expert in appraising the matter, and
Dr. Dodd was extended warm congratulaions by them for her aid.
To a basically fine person like Bella Dodd, the years she spent
In advancing the Communist conspiracy in the United States mu~t seem
to her, in retrospect, a spiritual Gehenna where she walked w1th the
lost and the damned but, in the end, her acts of atonement and her
great service to her country are surely paying her debt in full.
Pressure on Congress From Back
Home Was Never Needed as Now
In an action wh ich showed utter contempt for the Rights of the
States, lack of u nderstanding and respect for the Constitution and a
totally false conception of Federal power and authority, advisers of the
President went right ahead and asked Congress to appropriate $1,300,~
000,000 in Federal grants to help the States build new schools_
And in spite of the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution which
plainly states that "The powers not delegated to the United States by
the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to
the States respectively or to the people" and notwithstanding the fact
that the Constitution did not delegate authority to the Federal government
to run the schools, the Congress will seriously consider this request
from the President.
Since an alarming number of the members of both Houses of
Congress are equally guilty with the White House in flaunting the
Constitution, many of them will go along with this usurpatfon of
authority and plug for the passage of the bill. They may even pass it.
And when, and if, they do the same invisible internationalist
rulers who now shape American domestic and foreign policy will take
over the schools of the nation and run them.
The result will be a uniform educational propaganda program for
every public school in every State which will hasten total mongrelization
of the white race, enlarge and extend National Socialism and ultimately
bring about a Communist One-World government in which the
United Stales is reduced to a satellite.
It is planned that way and no honest and informed American can,
or will , deny it.
If your representatives in Washington don't hear from you, they
will take your silence as approval. Write them now.
February, 1957
Five Texans Stand Firmly for
Constitutional Ciovernment
Refusing to yield to strong pressure
exerted by international lobbyists for
the surrender or Congressional authority
to the Executive, five members
of Texas' delegation in that body
took action which it is hoped will be
the beginning or an expanding movement
for the restoration to Congress
of its Constitutional powers.
The five dissenting Texans voted
against the Eisenhower Middle East
resolution asking for a blank check
for foreign aid and for the right to
declare war without approval by the
Congress which is mandatory in the
Constitution of the United States.
The five dissenters were Repre~
sentatives Albert Thomas of Houston,
Bruce Alger of Dallas, Walter Rogers
of Pampa, Olin Teague of College
Station and J. T. Rutherford of
Odessa. For their fearless stand for
Constitutional government they ant
entitled to the hearty approbation of
all Texans who subscribe to the theory
of government by law rather than
governme.it by men.
Eggheads Take Hair Down and
Tackle Another Problem
There is never a day in the year
that screwball intellectuals are not
holding a conference somewhere to
discuss something and their dii!dicated
determination to settle every problem
in the world is rea11y something.
In Mexico City on January 16, an
egghead conference was held which
would seem to end all egghead con~
ferences because there can't possibly
be many more subjects left for them
to wrestle with.
At the Mexico City clambake the
affair was titled "The North American
Conference on Fertility and Sterility"
and delegates were there from CUba,
Central America, South America,
Mexico and, of course, the United
States.
It was announced in the press that
the purpose of the conference was 1'to
discuss the various phases of fertility
and sterility in humans and to exchange
experiences and opinions'' be·
tween themselves.
That sounds Interesting and cozy
but we doubt the authenticity of th&
opinions contributed since usually
the top "experts" In such gatherings
include many lantern·jawed
spinsters whose knowledge of the
subject is assumed to be academic.
One of the Impenetrable mysteries
of the high realm on which intellectuals
dwell is the thesis that the
correct solution of matteTs having to
do with child ~ bearing rests with
women who have never had any.
While being asked to approve
the President's request for authority
to, if neces.~ary , declare war
in the Middle East and finance the
deal with American taxpayers'
money, no member of the Congress,
so far as we can learn, has
publicly proclaimed a very vital
truth. That 1s that in taking over
the situation in the Middle East,
the President is admitting that the
United Nations has utterly failed
in its alleged mission. It was going
to relieve aU of its member nations,
including the United States/
of the responsibility of fighting
wars. It was going to keep the
peace all over the world and put
down any threats to such peace
anywhere in the world, at the
first sign of an uprising. It hasn't
done it and is not going to do it
and it is now proved that this
great world organization is a
flop, a fraud and a fake operating
an international confidence game
and getting money under false
pretense. Why should we hire
them to do the job and then do it
ourselves?
