appropriate. in our opinion
Governor Clement is one of the
most outstanding opportunists,
demagogues and political climbers
who ever sacrificed a long-range
principle for a temporary expedient
and his ability at fence-straddling
has been perfected to a fine
art.
Paul Butler, National Democrat·
ic Chairman, is quoted as explaining
following the announcement
that the Tennessee governor had
been named: "I feel that Clement
will discuss the segregation issue
in a way that is not offensive to
any one." (Gad, what fearless
statesmanship.)
Butler is right, though. Clement
will do just that.
Eloquent. high-sounding words
and flowery phrases will flow
from his ruby lips like escaping
gas from an open jet, but. when
the shouting is over and the applause
has died down, he will have
talked loud. long and fluently and
said nothing.
Next Edition of the Paper
Will Be Out in September
Each year the July-August editions
of the Southern Conservative
are issued simultaneously and the
month of August is skipped altogether.
Usually Congress is adjourned
by this time and its member
s, like a covey of quail. ha\'e
flown orr in all directions.
(Not that official skulduggery
lets up with the adjournment of
Congress, or that the rights and
freedoms of the people are not in
danger around the calendar in the
city on the Potomac.)
We are very glad for the short
respite t his year as the thermometer
in our part of the greatest State
in the Union has hovered between
102 and 107 degrees during the
time we have prepared copy for
this edition, and wh ile it may be
no better when September comes.
we can always hope
It is the general belief that when
this pressure gets too strong, som('thing
will give and that "something"'
will p r o bably be the Uni ted S tates
delegation in the United Nations.
An Alabama Negro was visiting
kinfolks in the North. One day
while talking with a relative, he
kept sc1·atching vigoTously and
finally his Telative asked him
what on earth made him scratch
like that. "Chiggers" answered
the Negro front Alabam.a. "Hush,
don't say that" the 1·elative said
in a whisper. uzn tlle NoTth. we
don't call them. 'chiggers'. Up here,
w~ay chegroes."
"Integrationists" Should
Pause and Think This Over
On June 29th the United Press
carried a with a Lancaster,
Pennsyl\'ania, which for
sheer horror and revulsion tops
any recent act by Negroes
which are rapidly since
the Supreme decision on
segregation.
An eight-year-old Negro boy
kicked and beat a nine-year-old
white girl to death in nearby Columbia,
Pennsylvania. Before she
died in a hospital the little g irl
said the Negro boy attacked her
when she refused to give him a
kiss.
The Ame rican peo p le have become accustomed to ha ving
the ir mone y taken away from t hem and the ir r ights
and liberties confiscated, one by one, on demand of
Social Planne rs w ho now e x e rcise comple te custody
over human we lfare. If these tax-ridden citize ns f igure,
however, that e v ery e vi l thing possible has already
been done t o them and that they will be called on to
make no fu rther contribut ion to the perfection of a One·
World Utopian Stat e , we have a surprise for them. Two
thousand political psychiatrists and social psychologists,
in solemn conclave assembled, have formulated a
macabre program of such gruesome and ghastly proportions
as to cu r l the hair of a Mohawk Indian. It is
a plan for ma ss thought control which reveals that
their next grim obiective is to take over our minds,
cleanse them of all preconceived ideas of r ight and
wrong, debunk them of outmoded moral conceptions
and - having mentally castrated us - to turn us back
to society with completely remodeled a nd ove r-hauled
cranial equipment g u"Jra nteed to ins ure our acceptance,
without protest, of the One-World Government
being prepared for us by the experts. If this sounds
like a bad joke or a horror story from a lurid comic
book, the reader had best not laugh or shrug it off
until he has checked with the same source from which
we got our material on the subiect - the revered and
highly esteemed United Nations World Health Organization
located in the City of New York and supported
largely by American dollars which the producers and
workers of this country sweated to earn but which they
were never permitted to hold in their little hot hands.
The average law-abiding. church-going and tax~paying American
has become universally recognized as knowing- and caring- -less about
what is being done to him and to those who come after him, and to be
more unconcerned over the manner in which his future destiny is being
juggled by a species of vermin known as Social Planners, than any
other member of the human race laying claim to citizenship status
As placid, easy-going and gullible taxpayers have snored away their
freedoms, their titles as freeho lders of a glorious heritage and their
exalted estate as masters of elected public officials. vicious interlopers
have been active in reverse proportion to their apathy, inertia and
neglect.
While they slumbered. Social Planners have elbowed their way
into the three branches and all the various agencies o[ the American
government where they largely dictate domestic and foreign policy and
influence the squandering of untold bi llions of dollars on extraneous
activi t ies and projects hav ing no semblance of relation to the functions
of an orderly Constitutiona l government.
These human n1aggots work in relays around the clock boring away
at the foundations of American institutions and it"s regarded as an u nprofitable
and misspent day in t heir lives when they have fai led to set
in motion powerful forces whose ultimate objective is to uproot one
more revered American custom, topple over additional cherished traditions
or sink another shaft in the heart of human decency.
Least publicized but by far the most dangerous of this noxious breed
are the polit ica l psychiatrists who have perver~ed the gr_e~t art of mental
healmg_ by usmg their ta lents not to cu:e s1ck and a1_llng minds but
in attcmptmg to re-mold human personal1ty to make 1t amenable to
existence in a One-World Sla,·e State.
The meeting of the International Commission on Menlal ll ealth at
which this wide scple brain-washing program was initiated was held in
London in 1948 but so thoroughly detailed and all-conclusive were the

Alaska Mental Health Bill Is
Still Viewed. With Suspicion
Po:;siUl:-· no legislation within
recent ye31'S has en used so much commotion
as the so-c.:dled Alaska mental
health bill in Congress.
There have been

has been suspect from the first so
Iar as we arc concerned.
1t passed the House \vithout a record
vote which, in itself, is bad business,
and in the shape it was presented
to the Senate, there is no
doubt it was a measure that should
have been killed on its face.
However, Senator Barry Goldwater
publicly assured the American people
that all 1h.z potentially dangerous features
would be taken out in the
S<•nate Committee on Interior and Insular
Affairs which reassured many
of tho~e who had bitterly opposed the
legislation.
consent of his colV,..-;::ucs who were
present.. This is o •· way to pass
legislation but it is a very unsavory
way and reflects no credit on our
elected lawmakers.
Now the Honorable U.shcr Burdick
of North D£~kota has had reproduced
in the Congressional Record of June
11th a lengthy and highly interesting
report pt·cparcd by George C. and
Charles C. Finn, the famous Finn
Twins, which presents an angle of the
bill which is new and startling.
Jn carefully documented information
and reproductions of official papers,
they bring out that the granting
ot 1,000,000 acres of land for a project
that would have required perhap:
· only 50 or 75 at most, is in line
with an effort to turn over mineralrich
Ala~ka land to private parties
much in the manner lhat the Teapot
Dome was handled some years ago.
The Gum·dians of Our American
1028 Conncelicut Avenue,
D.C., have reproduced a
copy o[ this Finn document
in the Congressional Record
which may be had for ten cents per
copy. 12 copies for one dollar or one
hund1·cd for i1ve dollars. We suggest
that every American who is concerned
in the matter should get copies
of it.

fine points of the plan and so much preliminary organization work was
necessary that it is only now that it is getting up steam. It is the way
of Social Planners to act first in comparative secrecy and to correlate
and integrate their plans so thoroughly and have them so far advanced
that it is difficult, if not impossible, for them to be arrested when those
who are potential victims of such social planning are let in on the deal.
Millions of tracts, pamphlets, brochures and books are flooding the
United States now misleadingly designated as authentic data on mental
health but much of it stems from the World Health Organization of the
United Nations and the over-all plan for a One-World Governrnent is
stressed in each.
A program which has required the efforts of two thousand persons
six years to complete and launch cannot be described in limited space
and billions of words in documents embodying this diabolic and Satanic
blueprint for universal thought control cannot be briefed for casual
comprehension. We can only touch on a few of the points that were
brought out at the London meeting by these fiends in human form who
plan to tame and subdue the thought processes of such individualists as
may stand in the way of the plan to level off the people of the United
States and the world into one conglomerate mass of unified humanity.
Primarily ··Mental Health" was impressed on the London meeting
as being synonymous \vith One-World government and none of the psychiatrists'
valuable time was wasted in considering treatment of individual
cases. Only mass treatment of vast segments of people to induce a
proper attitude toward the establishment of a totalitarian One-World
State claimed the attention of these international brain-washers who
urged the mobilization of every available social, economic and political
agency in the campaign to mold and direct the thought processes of the
people of all ages toward this end
Delegates were assured that not only individuals but entire social
systems may be changed and human thinking directed into desired
channels by organized psychiatric effort led by those thoroughly trained
in such mass alteration of the human mind. They were remembering,
perhaps, that in the subjugation of the Satellite Countries by the Communists
and the forcing of false confessions of guilt by hapless victims,
political psychiatrists played a major role in preliminary mass brainwashing
of the people.
The result was that Senator Goldwater
re-wrote the bill eliminating
lhc dangerous seizure and commitment
features of the bill as it passed
U1e. House but authority to grant
Alaska 1.000,000 acres of land was
lt>fl in. Also the Alaska legislature

Federal laws governing such matters
by whatever legislation might be
deemed proper.
The bill passed the Sem1te with

It is tar better that it be delayed

House and Senate.
State Officials Went Haywire
On the Supreme Court Ruling
The only places in the South' where we have integration is where
local Reds have jumped the gun and used the Supreme Court decision
o( 1954 as an excuse for doing something they wanted to do any way.
The ruling had reference only to one school in Kansas, one school
in South Carolina, one school in Virginia, one in Delaware and one in
the District of Columbia.
The greatest mistake in connection with the whole rotten deal
was when other State authorities took notice of it. They should have
ignored it and several of them did. including Mississippi and Georgia
and there is no integration there. They should have left it to those four
States and the District of Columbia to fight back and these five should
ha\·e fought it to a finish.
But, instead. fluttering and fidgety officials who had no understanding
of the rights of the sovereign States sent officials to Washington
to "plead'' with the court when they were not even involved in the
decision.
Texas, for instance, has a law against integration and the State
Constitution also provides for separate schools and this law and the
Constitutional provision are still in effect, as the Supreme Court does
not happen to possess the authority to repeal them.
ln the brochure titled ''Mental Health and World Citizenship''
which embodies the proceedings and conclusions of the London conference,
it is frankly pointed out that: "We are concerned with the attitudes
of groups of men in relation to one another, and with the principles
and practices of mental health in relation to a world community''
and if that is not plain enough listen to this: "The ultimate goal of mental
health is to help men live with their fellows in One 'World."
Neuroses and mental disorders were defined by these psychiatric
screwballs as being expressed in patriotism and love for one's own country
rather than in a type of world loyalty which recognizes no frontiers
Other evidence of mental illness was described as a strong feeling of
Nationalism, race prejudice, respect for family and familiar traditions;
in short any pattern of living that is based on recognized conceptions
of decency in a civilized society marks one as a psychopathic case and a
fit subject for the experts in mental rejuvenation. Only those holding
a firm belief in complete r~:;.:i:J.l mixing and agreeable to existence in a
controlled slave !state in which all persons look alike, act alike and think
allke and are willing to perform merely as cogs in a vast universal machine
may be given a clean bill of mental health in the viewpoint of
these depraved and low-lived specimens of human depravity.
To achieve the frightening state of mental and moral degeneracy to
which they aspire, these putrid brain prostitutes are asking concerted
and cooperative action by all social, educational, religious, political and
related agencies with an international viewpoint such as UNESCO. labor
unions, International Labor Organization, State and national health
departments. social workers, psychologists, school teachers and college
professors. political and professional groups of liberal leanings and all
others whose interests are world-wide and unrestricted by national
boundaries or narrow concern for the survival of the countries of their
birth, with psychiatrists. of course. leading and directing this mass
movement toward mental, moral and physical slavery for the people
of the United States and the world.
If this proposal were merely the wild-eyed suggestion of a few
psychiatric perverts. there would be no particular cause for abrm because

How Mixed Up and Confused Can
Billionaire Socialists Get?
The Ford Foundation granted
$400,000 and later $1,000.000 to
the University of Chicago to ''advance
human welfare" and especially
to do research on "law and
the behavioral sciences." If the
reader docs not know what this
m(-an::., neither do we. Neither, for
Uwt matter, docs the University of
lllino!s nor the Ford Foundation.
It w:1s merely an excuse to turn
O\'er a lot of lax-exempt money to
a bunch of educated nuts in order
that they might go browsing
around in things that do not concern
them.
Their first venture into "research
on the behavioral sciences"
was to rig up som<' kind o(
contraption so they could listen in
on secret jury hearings which was
and is a strict violation of law. As
a result, the whole transaction was
investigated by the Senate Internal
Security Subcommittee of which
Senator 'James 0. Eastland is
chairman. The "bugging" o[ the
jury by these Chicago University
screwballs has been fully investigated
by the subcommittee and the
Department of Justice. asked to
take action against them.
'·Today 1.5 millioPs of American
troops are statio11ed in 900
places. in few of uhtch they are
secure. in none of which they are
popular'' - Dorothy Thompson.
In attempting to justify the
whole silly and unwarranted proceedings,
the Ford Foundation issued
a statement saying that it
was simply an attempt ''to gain
a factual basis for understanding
the behavior of juries and their
place in American legal structure."
Well, the place of juries in the
American legal structure was pretty
well defined in the AmPTican
Constitution long before the Ford
Foundation and its stable of subsidized
college professors was· ever
heard of.
About the only thing that the
Ford, Rockefeller and similar taxexempt
organizations are doing is
to give stature to the Marxist
claim that the possession of great
wealth is an evil.
When we see dailv how the Socialist
descendants Of Ford. Rockefeller
and others are using the
money that they had no hand in
amassing. it almost makes us realize
that old Lenin and Engels
had something when they implied
that wealth should be taken out of
the hands of those who do not
know how to use it.

candidates for the Democratic
nomination certainly should
be obvious to all who make any
pretense whatever of keeping the
record straight.
Claiming t11at his "confidential

by close associates of the President,
Donovan tells of the contempt
of the Chief Executive for
Conservative or right-wing Republicans
which reached such proportions
in the summer of 1953 that
Mr. Eisenhower seriously considered
the idea of setting up his·
own new liberal party. Only a
complete moron would not have
already figured this out for himself,
as he watched the President
adopt one New Deal a nd Fair Deal
policy after another. Dumb as we
are, we have not only made this
charge time and again in the pages
of the Southern Conservative> but
have even pointed out that Socialists
are now in total control of the
Repub1ican Party even as they
now absolutely dominate the Democratic
Party.
That Senator Joseph R. McCarthy's
attempts to get Communists
out of the gO\'ernment. the
Army and defense plants "disgusted
and infuriated" the PresidPnt,
as Donovan charges, certainly was
obvious during the Army-McCarthy
hearings when the Wh1te
House threw evLt·y possible obstacle
in the Wisconsin senator's
way to prevent the accomplishment
of his objectives.
Donovan further quotes the
President as saying "it might be a
good idea for the Kn·mlin to put
McCarthy on its payroll." There
are several million Americans who
are firmly conYinced that there
arc many in high echelons in
Washington who are covertly and
deliberately giving aid and comfort
to the Communists in their
attempts to destroy the American
form of government, but Joe McCarthy
is definitely not one of the
suspects. We hope the President
was misquoted on this.
Donovan was a little more subtle
in telling of the President's approval
of the admission of Red
China to the United Nations. "Eisenhower
was not convinced that
the vital interests of the United
States would be best served by
prolonged non-recognition of Red

bill. Overwhclmmg sentiment of the country IS for the discon!Imwnce
of this give-away program which is not only un-Constitutional but immoral
since members of Congress who support it are not only giving
away money that docs not belong to them. but they are giving away
money the Federal government docs not have and has to borrow.
So they cut billions out of the bill in the House. then reston· it; then
cut it down again and send it to the Senate which goes through tl1e same
s~lly procedure, and it \yill probably wind i!P with the same outrageous
figure of more t~an 4 billion dollars \\·hen It is finally passed, Including

The most sane, sound and sensible speech made on the \\"hole• affair
was that of Congresswoman Iris Blitch of Georgia who told her colleagues
in the House what she thought about foreign aid and she didn't
stutter when she said it.
Under consideration in the House was an am0ndment to rc:.,torc the
amounts that had b~en slashed from the iniquitous gi\·e-away program

Why Were Warning Signals Silenced 1 Justice Shows Abysmal Ignorance
When Communism Became Enemy No. 1? Of Meaning of the Const itution
All during World War II, the
American government used all its
facilities to discredit the Nazis and
Fascists, as it properly should i1avc
done. Through pr~ss releases. moving
picture houses and every other
medium of communication these
two degenerate philosophies of
government were blasted almost
every hour around the clock Even
the pulpit rang out with denunciation
of Hitler and Mussolini's
brand of totalitarianism
When the war ended, these two
ideologies died with Germany':;
and Italy's defeat as they were
mostly local in their nature and
did not extend bevond the borders
of the countries ,\-he-re thev were
born. -
But Communism is something
else and because of its rapid spread
since the war is far more dangerous
tlwn Nazism and Fascism put
together.
But is there any noticeable campaign
on the part of the government
to stamp it out? Do the movie
houses flash warnings on their
screen against this insidious enemy'?
Do pu lpits ring with protests
against this powerful anti-Christian
ideology?
Not enough that yuu could notice
it. On the other hand. let any pat~
riotic American rise up in Washington
to fight this deadly menace
and warn against it and highlyplaced
leaders get out the tarbucket
and go to work.
All of which means that there
is something fundamentally wrong
and corrupt in the manner in which
the American go\·ernment is currently
being administered and unless
there are some mighty changes
made. it is not inconceivable that
the Iron Curtain will close around
"the land of the free and the home
of the brave."
Candidate Who Omits Double Talk
Creates Sensation in Texas Race
A political phenomenon has been brought to light in the six-man
gubernatorial campaign m Texas. One of them has bowled over the
electorate by refusing to play the game according to the modern formula
of evasion. equivocation and double-talk. Instead. this candidate comes
out flat-footed and suys exactly what he thinks.
His name is J. Evet~s Haley. historian, lecturer and ranchmu.n·from
deep West Texas.
Possibly because this species of politician is practically extinct in
Texas as in all other sections of the country, this West Texas cowman
is proving something of a sensation in a field where frank and forthright
expression of opinion has come to be largely regarded as a sign
of political naivete, if not downright heresy.
• When, for instance, a CIO member of a large Dallas audience
sought to heckle him by asking him his attitude on union labor, Haley
replied that he believed labor had a right to organize. to collecti\'ely
bargain and that union members had a right to quit when they want to.
''But" he quickly added "If after you do quit. you think you have the
right to keep somebody else off that job let me tell you this: If, on my
ranch, a bunch of my hands quit and you fello\VS came up there trying
to interfere with the fellows I then hire to flank a bunch of yearlings on
my land, I'll meet you at the fence with a .32 and. if necessary, I'll draw
a bead on you and rim a shell and leave you lying on the fence line."
And those who have known him as professor of history at the University
of Texas, as a lecturer and later as a successful rancher, insisl
that he would do just that.
A South Texas audience arose in a body and cheered wildly when
he responded in this manner to a question as to how he would handle
the matter of segregation: "I would handle it as it has always been
handled in Texas. Texas would stay segregated. And if any Federal
agent came into the State to enforce integration, I would put him in
jail and keep him there until he agreed to get out of the State."
Reaction to this unusual attitude of a man seeking public office
resulted, at least in the case of one big city, in lifting Haley's name from
last to first place almost overnight in a newspaper pol l.
The Southern Conservative endorses no candidate for public office
at any time and does not intend to do so in this instance. Neither do we
venture any prediction on the outcome of this race where the odds favor
those bolstered by large voting blocs or special groups.
It is our intention merely to remark on the apparent appreciation
of the average American voter for frankness and honesty on the part of
candidates for public office and to express the hope that all those making
such bids may some day adopt the forthright policy of this plain Texas
cowman who calmly walks into the forum and says what he thinks, letting
the chips fall where they may.
There was a time when most candidates wC>re like th<:1t. God speed
the day when they are that wa:v again.
On the 17th o[ April. 1930. the
New York Times quoted Felix
Frankfurter as saying: ' 1The Constitution
is what the Supreme
Court Judges say it is."
No more misleading, fallaciow;
and dangerous sentiment was ever
given voice than this uttcnmce by
a foreign-born Marxist who ,
through some malicious streak of
malice on the part of the gods,
was one day to sit on that samP.
Supreme Court and function in accordancE'
with the belief he had
expressed on that Spring day in
1930
To admit that Frnnkfurter's
contention is true and that the
greatest document ever written is
nothing more than the casual interpretation
of a political ap~
pointee to a soft berth, is to defame
the patriots who wrote it
with the- sole purpose of protecting
the fundamental rights of. the
people and perpetuating Constitutional
government in the United
States
If we concede that the Constitution
is only what the Supreme
Court J udges say it is, then we
must also grant that if the day
comes when the appointees to th'lt
bench are outright Marxists, instead
of extreme liberals and Communist
sympathizers, we will then
be without protection or safeguarrl
for the freedoms so specifica1ly set
down in its every provision.
The Constitution is what those
who wrote it intended it to be--a
charter 0f our rights and freedoms
and the official textbook on
American go\·erning procedure.
Any of its Justices who hold otherwise
are profaning that great doC'ument
for which they should be
forcibly removed froin office.

Keen Resentment Exp1essed by Many
Over Theft of Our Copy in May
When the material prepared for the
May edition of the Southern Conservative
was rcmovcd from our office
during the night before publication
date by a person or pcr::;ons unknown,
we were naturally greatly disturbed.
That OUI" d istress was shared by
many others throughout the nation
became evident following our explanation
of the incident when hundreds
of communications came in
expressing sympathy and indignation.
We q uote f rom a few which are typical:
From a highly respected retired
Army Gt•neral: '"Your Southern Conservative
is not only influential and
thought provoking but it ahvays carries

From a Tulsa. Oklahoma, business
man: "You are more successful than

only one way to retaliate - by steal4

under cover of dnrkne<;s."
From an author of best sellers,
Cnmbridge, Massachusetts: "From
theft to murder, !rom ballot4 stealing
to treaso n, from acid-throwing to incarceration
of their ablest enemies in
mental institutions, the left-wing conspirators
stop at nothing in their drive
to crush all opposition. But there is
consolation in discovering the effectiveness
which they attribute to your
publication; for, unless they consider
it damaging, they would not have
gone to the trouble of trying to quiet
your voice, even for a month."
From a New York and Connecticut
writer, lecturer, world-traveler and
author oC school text books: ··1 keep

How the Supreme Court of the
United States Got That Way
The downgrading of Supreme Court justices was b::1un by Franklin
D . Roosevelt who seemed to take a sadistic delight in d:fying the ageold
trad it ion that only t he nation's ablest jurists, void of all political
bias or ambition and possessed of unquestioned per.:;ot1al integrity.
sh ould hold these h igh po;:;ts. He m'lmed instead , such undistinguished
and ill-equ ip ped members of t he legal profession as could b2 counted on
to inject his New Deal soeic!l theories into judicial rul ;ngs w h ich had,
immemor ia lly, rested solely on the Constitution and the law.
F our of h is a p pointees are still on the Bench and have contr ibuted
their full s hare in bringing the Court down to the Joy; r .:;tate to which
it has fallen.
H is f irst appointment to that high tribunal was generally regarded
as having been offered as a whimsical jest in whic:1 he apparently
sought to shock and insu lt convention by naming a Southern Police
Court judge whose only experience in upholding the majesty of the
law was in the trial of dru n ks, crapshooters and traf1ic law violators
and who, in order to don the black robe of the highest Court in the land,
had to lay aside the symbolic white sheet of the Ku Khz~: Klan
His second appointm.2nt to the Court was a professional New D~aler
whose legal experience was largely limited to Socialistic alphabetical
agencies like RFC, FFB and others which had sprung up i 1 the national
Capital like toadstools in a swamp.
His third appointment was a fo r eign4 born Socialist , .. ! .:l was deeply
steeped in Harvard theories of government, a pal and sp;J:1sor of A lger
Hiss and who enjoyed the confidence of notorious Marxis ts from all
over the world, including Sidney and Beatrice Webb of EPgland.
His fourth and last appointment is a sort of elfin personality who
goes off on mysterious trips into the wilds of Asiatic count r ies ever so
often and holds communion with members of half-civilized trib~s for
what he calls a ' ·renewal of his spirit" and the "uplift of his soul.'' He
is highly experienced in mountain-climbing, hiking and horseback riding.
Since becoming a member of the Court he is reported in the press
to have accepted a $1.500 cash award from the CIO in recognition of
his highly developed "social conscience,·· but if he has ever b~en acclaimed
for his legal learning. there is no record of it.
With a change in administration, the calibre of those appointed to
the Court got no better fast as Truman reached down and pkkcd up a
couple of Roosevelt New Dealers for ebvation to these high posts and
when he named a shyster lawyer from T~xc::s \Vho skipped. hopped and
jumped from County Court practice to the Attorney c~~neralship and
then to the Supreme Court bench, most people thought \'.'C had had it
and that the bottom h a d been touch ed, bu t la:er they were to Jearn
how w ro ng they we r e . The worst was yet to come.
Everybody knows by th is time w hat turned up on the Court when
Eisenhower came to power and went c lear ou t to t he Pacific Coast for
an exp erienced, seasoned, dyed-in4 thc-wool Socialist and turned him
loose t o do a job on the Con stitution and the Sovereign States. This
specimen, together with a pro[essional integrationist from New York
constitute Mr. Eisenhower's gift to the American Court of Last Resort.
Composed of four Roosevelt appointee.s, three Truman off2rings
and two Eisenhower seJections. the Sunreme Court of the Unit2d States,
as presently constitu ted. is perhaps the only high tribunal in the world
composed of nine men whose combined ability and understanding of
ethics and the law would be insufficient to fit them for judging the
fine points in a case involving the robbery of a chicken coop.
The Court will be long remembered, as it now stands. as a judicial
wrecking crew which has concentrated and unified its efforts to raze
established American ins~itutions through un-precedented and unConstitutional
decisions which, while commanding the unstintcd approval
of pro-Communists, Negroes and other minority groups, have

PageS THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE
Communist · Owned Schools Receiving
Federal Funds for Educating Gl' s
All Americans should be vitally
interested in a report just made
public by the subcommittee of the
Committee on Government Operations
of the Senate of which Senator
John L. McLellan of Arkansas,
is chairman.
Thi!i is the same committee
which was known as the McCarthy
Committee when Republicans controlled
the Senate. It was when
the Committee delved into the un·
palatable situation at Fort Monmouth
and was getting red hot on
some information that would have
led to big names i1 high places.
that a couple of old goats in the
SenatC' cooked up the resolution to
•·censure'' the Wisconsin senator
The same committee under Senator
McLellan is bringing out some
appalling information which gets
little or no publicity in the regular
press and it will be interesting to
see if FlandCl's of Vermont and
Watkins of Utah come galloping
onto the Senate floor some fine
dav with another censure resolutio.
n against the present head of
the committee.
TJw report referred to above released
bv the Committee showed
by swor'n testimony of thirteen
witnesses that. under the GI bilL
retu~·ned Korean veterans have attended
schools that were not only
owned and operated by Communists
but were on the Attornev
General's list of subversives ~
It seems that the GI bill passed
following World VVar II and the
Korean War are so worded that
the Veterans Administration has
no di::;crction in the schools to
which GI's are sent and if these
ex-soldiers happen t.o select a
Communist school. as many of
them have done, the VA has no
recoursC'. Approval of the schools
is left to State Agncies such as
State Commissioner of Education
or whatever title the head of a
state educational bureau may carry.
Unfortunately many of the State
agencies are dominated by the National
Education Association which
fs extremely "liberal" or left-wing,
to describe them charitably, and
would be more than likely to approve
Communist - dominated
schools.
This means that the taxpayers
are pulling up the ftwds to educate
American ex-Gn, in the Communist
philosophy because the
mone.v that pays these Communist
schools is appropriated by Congress
to the Veterans Administration
out of money taken from taxpayers.
member of the James Connellv
Branch of the Communist PartY
A Mr. John Huber who joined the
Communist Party on request in
order to get information for the
FBI told of his frequent associations
with Dr. Rubenstein in connection
with party matters. The
Committee's investigation into this
Robert Louis Stevenson school
covered the period from the time
the school was approved until
June of 1952 when Dr. Rubenstein
sold the school.
During this period from 1940
until 1952, this Communist School
owned by Dr. Annette T. Rubenstein
was paid Federal tax money
in the amount of $2,081.397.96 as
tuition and expense of GI's attending
such Communist School, according
to the rC'port, page 5.
The California Labor School
was approved under GI law in
1945, and also approved by the
California State Board of Education
at the time. In 1947 the California
State Board of Education
withdrew its approval of the
school and later it was put on the
Attorney General's list of subver·
sive organizations.
But during the time this school
was teaching GI's, it received a
total amount of taxpayers funds
of $196,947 for both subsistence
and tuition of American GI's.
The Cartoonist and Illustrators
School of New York, jointly owned
by Burne Hogarth and Silas
Rhodes both of whom were identified
as Communist Party members
on sworn oath of witnesses
who had attended party meetings
with them, was licensed by the
New York State Board of Education
in September, 1952, after hav~
ing been approved under the GI
bill in 1947.
During this period the school received
from the Federal government
through the Veterans Administration.
$1.176,712.76 of taxpayers
money. The school is still
being operated and 278 GI's are
being trained there, or were when

to owning fifty per cent of the
school was put on the witness

White House Attempt to Take Over
Nation's Public Schools Defeated
Like C\'t'ry right-thinking American, we are delighted that the
so-called '·Federal Aid to Education" bill in Congress has been killed,
althou~h we arc sorry and ashamed that it had to be disposed of by a
subterluge
The ~ill should hove been voted ~own because it was merely another
dev1ce through which the Reds m education and in government
hoped to gC't control of the nation's public schools and dictate the
courses of study for American school children.
Aside from this, there is no clause in the Constitution of the United
States ~v~ich provides t~at the Fed~ral governme.nt shall have any
responsibility whatever m the buildmg or operatwn of the various
school systems of the States and this should have been all any responsible
lawmaker needed to know to induce him to vote against the bill.
Being an election ye~r .. the tempt~tion to play politics, and cheap
politics at that, was irresiStible and this opportunity to sound off and
do a lot of loud-talking for the benefit of the National Education Association
Pinkos was utilized to the fullest.
It was the amendment by the Negro congressman from New York
barring aid to any State failing to comply with the ruling of the s, .. ·edish
Marxist Gunnar l\Iyrdal. through the medium of the American Supreme
Court. that served to kill the bill which should ha\'e been voted down
quickly and with little argument simply because it was un~Constitutional,
un-American and a cheap trick of Vlashington bureaucrats to further
encroach on the rights of the States.
The unfortunate aspect of a measure like this which is sponsored
only by the most radically left-wing and Irresponsible clement of the
nation's citizenship is that, once it is killed, it does not stay dead but,
like the legendary jointed snake, snaps back together and grows again.
The nefarious lobby of the National Education Association will redouble
its efforts at the next session of Congress to muster support for
similar legislation but, of course, there is always hope in the meantime
that some of the deadwood will be cleared out of Congress through the
Fall elections and men and women of understanding and with respect
for the Constitution chosen to supplant them.
Those who opposed the measure, with or without amendments, deserve
the hearty approbation of <·very American who is concerned in
the perpetuation of Constitutional governm~1t.
President Again Displays Utter
Contempt for White Southerners
One of the most outstandingly
unfitted and unsuited appointees
for a Federal job which the United
Stales Senate has been called on
to confirm in recent years-during
which time they have had some
odd specimens of humanity flung
at them for approval-is one Simon
Sobeloff whom the White
House has named as J udgc of the
Fourth U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
This Court comprises Virginia,
West Virginia. Maryland, North
Carolina. and South Carolina and
the appointment of a pronounced
South-hater to preside over a Dixie
Court is generally regarded as
merely another of the studied insults
which the White House
seems to take delight in showering
on the white people of the South.
Sobeloff. onC' of the most dedicated
Roosevelt New Dealers in
Washington, has never overlooked
an opportunity to take a swing at
the South and its im:titutions and
his favoritism toward Communistsympathizers
and fellow travellers
has been frequently demonstrated
in his official actions as Solicitor
General of the United States.
cannot be justified on any grounds,

The Robert Louis Stevenson
School was duly approved under
the Gf laws in September, 1946
and w~1s under the ownership of a
Dr. Annette T. Rubenstein. identified
by witnesses under oath as a
the Fifth amendment.
He admitted that 596 Gl's had
been "educated" in his school since
July I. 1949, and that he had received
$215.523.26 in government
funds from the Veterans Admi nistration
for the schooling of these
Gl's.
Perhaps. the thing that stands
out clearest from these reports.
is the lack of supervision in
expending the American taxpayers
money and these Communist
schools operating under a law passed
by the Congress which provides
for no such supcn'ision.
In other words. the Federal gov·
ernment is charged by the admin·
istration to be scrupulously careful
not to pay out any money to
any concern which refuses to employ
Negroes, but no check whatever
is made to find out if funds
are being paid to those who employ
Communists.
.Kll of which inspires our fervent
wish that we could have just
one thoroughly anti-Communist
administration in Washington
which would not only see that no
Communist. sympathizers and fellow
trave11ers are appointed to
high office. but would clean out
all these Communist rats ..vhich
are holed up in practically every
strategic activit:v with which the
Federal government is associated.
The Supreme Court's knock-ont
of puTt of the State Right-ToWork
laws. and which npplies to
tlfe railToad ind-ustry, is just the
first step. Just give 'em. time and
they wilL knock these laws out in

every State law and regulation
