THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE -To Plead lor a Return of Constitutional Government-
Vol. 7 FORT WORTH, TEXAS, SEPTEMBER. 1956 No.9
Agai-. T ~o Major Parties Go Into
uddle and Come Up With Nothing
Warren Brand of "Racial Unity"
Prevails In . Small Texas Town
A fair samPle o! "racial unity" of
the Earl Warren variety has prevailed
at a small Texas town, Mansfield, near
Fort Worth fQJ' several days, where
mobs have been gathered each day, 11
Negroes hung in effigy and Rangers
sent in to prevent bloodshed.
It all started when a spineless Fed·
eral judge ordered eleven Negroes ad·
mittcd to the all. whitc school of Mansfield.
The citizens of Mansfield, however.
had other idea,; and they let it
be known in no un(!ertain terms that
their white and (;Oiored children were
not to be mixed in :he same school. A
mob of 500 or more g<;thcrC'd around
the school daily,
The governor of Texas advised
school officials at Mansfield to trans·
fer any student to other schools if
such a course was necessary in pre·
venting violence.
The governor was quoted in lhe
press as saying at Austin: "Personally,
I hope the United States Supreme
Court will be given an opporlt•nily to
view the effect of its desegregation
order on a typical law· abiding Tcx<ts
Community".
Another National Political Convention Puts
The Democrats and Republicans in the Shade
While the Democrats at Chicago and the Republicans at San Fran·
cisco were making vague and ambiguous promises to do everything
for everybody and wer e shaping hazy and indist inct platforms on
which to run for office, another national convention was being held
which left no doubt where its candidates stood.
This was the national convention of the Organized Hoboes of
America held in Britt, Iowa, August 21 , and which attracted some
20,000 knights of the road all of whom are loyal. if not paid-up. members
of the National Tourists Union.
Candidates put in nomination for the office of King of Hoboes
were Scoop Shovel Scotty, veteran hitchhiker on the American highways
and Hobo Benson whose extensive coverage of the United States
has been done by the more luxurious mode of travel known as "riding
the rods" of a freight train.
While the Champagne, Bourbon and Scotch which inundated Chicago
aud San Francisco delegates was understandably missing from
the menu, the absence of these stimulating refreshments was partially
compensated for by the presence of a huge pot of Mulligan Stew which
graced the festive board.
The platform as it was finally adopted is believed to represent
the greatest and most powerful demand for social justice since William
Jennings Bryan came out for free silver.
It calls for a maximum of four hours of work a day, four days
of work a week, a three month's paid vacation in summer and the revision
of all welfare laws so as to provide $100 per mont~ for all
persons who have been deprived either by nature or the Federal UnemploYment
Compensation act. of all desire to participate in any form
of physical labor.
It urges the picketing by accredited members of the guild of the
back doors "'Of private homes in all cases where a free _handout has
either been refused or qoes not measure up in quality or quantity to
the specifications of accepted standards.
Looking toward a long-range program whose objective is to
provide more time for leisurely contemplation and restful relaxation
on the part of tired humanity, the platform calls on all self-respecting
and responsible hoboes to gird their loins for a big push on Congress
in the interest of passage of a "right-not-to-work law" and the adoption
by the administration in power of a domestic policy which will guar-antee
all-Ame!"'icans "freedom from toiP'. ·
The only deviation from regular convention proceedings was the
decision of the body to by-pass the outmoded custom of selecting the
winning candidate by vote of State delegations and to settle the matter
by an open and above-board slugging match bdween the two contestants.
This rule was adopted and the proceedings came to an abrupt
end, along ,vith Scoop Shovel Scotty's aspirations for public office,
as a haymaker from Hobo Benson knocked him of[ the platform and
out of the race.
Fair Deal Demo crats and Fair Deal Republicans have
held their national conve ntions at Chicago and San
Francisco, respectively. Where once the delibe rations,
discussions and conclusions of such conclaves hinged
around defense of the Constitution, exaltation of the
Free Enterprise System based on Christia n principles as
the bulwark of American greatne ss and recognition of
the Constitutional rights of the sovereign States to
handle their own affairs, no word was spoken and no
line written in the Windy City or in the metropolis by
the Golden Gate re-affirming these basic b e liefs in the
institut ions ·.and gove rning processes of the Ame rican
Repub lic. Imp a rtia lly, both gatherings demonstrated
tha t - unde r curre nt concept ions of political a nd moral
e'thics - a President ial nominating co nvention is merely
a n occasion for the maximum e xercise of human tongues
and minimum utilization of human brains. Never
were so many words employed by so many speakers
to say so 1ittle as in the case of the evasive, meaninges>
and equivocal statements which clogged the air
and flooded the channels of'communication during the
Chicago fiasco and the San Francisco flop. Meantime,
all that long suffering taxpayers can look forward to
during the forthcoming campaign is a spirited battle
between two dedicated internationalist left-wingers.
It will not be a fight for the restoration of Constitut
ional g overnment in the United States; for the prese
rvation of American sovereignty against attempts by
alien conspirators to destroy it; for the reclama tion of
lost Ame rican p restige throughout the world; fo r the
maintena nce of the rights, dignity and well-being of
the overwhelming ma jo rity o f the American people in
all area s and sections of the land .but r a t her a life-anddeath
struggle fo r p ossession of the key to the front
door of the White House which bot h ca ndidates fee l is
now in the keeping of the Negro voters .of Harlem,
a nd allied mino':ity groups ~f the North a nd East.
Neither at Chicago nor al San Francisco was there any indication
that the administration of the Federal Government under the provisions
of the Constitution, rather than under the rules of psychology or the
Communist Manifesto, is to be made ~n issue of the campaign.
No planks were adopted at either place which are not already
familiar to the American people from firs~ having appeared in the
Socialist platform before the principles and policies of that party were
absorbed by the Democratic and Republican organizations which presently
constitute our so-called two-party system.
Also, it is notable that no speeches were made and nothing stlid
at either convention, with two exceptions, that could be classed as
a great and outstanding address such as those once heard al th e official
gatherings of the nation's leaders and party chiefs.
The first exception was the masterly "Challenge which. Georgia's
governor, the Honorable Marvin Griffin, hurled at' the closmg s e ~s ion
at Chicago in which he vigorously protested the total disregard of parliamentary
rules and the denial of prerogatives to duly elected delegates
by the presiding officer of the convention and in which he roundly
scored them for the fa ilure of any speaker to even mention Constitutional
government and the Rights of States.
Governor Griffin ended his denunciation by nominating for Pres·
ident the Honorable James C. Davis, Congressman from Georgia and
who, incidentally - although his name received no consideration from
the phonies dominating the convention - was the only r eal Democrat

so many years ago no nation on

such an act of aggression against

States.
On the day that we first began

of all nations and pouring billions
of dollars into the treasuries of
practically every country on earth.
we started losing the respect of

That respect has continued to
dwindle until even a gang of brigands
such as those who make up
Gommunist China, feel that they
are perfectly safe in killing American
soldiers without fear of reprisal.
And still both political parties
who are equally responsible for

our senseless and indefensible foreign
policy were cheered to the
echo at Chicago and San Francisco
within recent weeks.
All State of Tennessee
Lacks Is Sound Leaders
The good people of Tennescee
foresaw the Porrible violence that
is taking place at 2linton as theresult
of the action of a jelly-spined
Federal judge who ordered the
SChool Board there to allow Negroes
in the white school.·
Members of their legislature
passed a bill which would have
prevented integration sometime
ago, but the bobbysoxer's delight,
Governor Frank Clement, promptly
vetoed it.
There is nothing wrong with the
people of Tennessee. They feel like
all other Southerners do about the
mixing of the races in the schools.
It is only their leadership that
is craven.
Two Major Parties <conunncd Fcom Page I>
offered as a candidate to head the ticket at any time during the entire
proceedings.
The second exception was the brave effort of former President,
Herbert Hoover, who ma?e a gallant, but futile, attempt at San Francisco
to point the course of his party back toward the obective of
Constitutional government when he said:
;<If you here calculate what will please this or that minor seiment
of our population. and satisfy this or that pressure group or sectional
interest, you will be betraying 3our opportunity and tragically missing
the call of your time. Today the greatest issue in America and
all mankind is the encr~achment of gove:nment to master our lives.
If you temporize with Socialism in any of tts disguises, you will stimulate
its growth and make certain the defeat of free men".
The convention cheered him heartily and went right ahead with
its task of "pleasing minor segments of .our population, satisfying
pressure groups and temporizing with Socialism to make certain the
defeat of free men".
There was only a single instance during the Chicago and ,the San
Francisco sessions where human ingenuity, resourcefulness and inspired
imagination caused the achievements of one gathering to soar
above the accomplishments of the other and that was when California's
governor, Goodie Knight, gave a blow-out thai made the shindig which
Perle Mesta threw in Chicago look like an ic2 cream social at a country
church.
While Perle with all her wealth, her publicity blurbs as 41the
hostess with the mostest" and her acknowledged leadership in the
glorified rat-race known as VVashington society, was able to pour only
two glasses o[ bubbling champagne down the thirst-parched gullets
of the 800 free·loaders who fought, scratched and clawed their way
into her swank soiree, Goodie is reported to hav~ provided such quantities
of the sparkling giggle juice that his 10,000 guzzling guests finally
wound up with the stuff practically oozing out of their ears.
After all, the prestige of the party in power must be maintained
and no doubt the Democratic Fair Dealers who were elbowed away
from the gravy train four years ago, grudgingly conceded this superior
social advantage to the opposition.
Otherwise the two conventions were much alike and with no
distinguishing features which set one apart from the other. One was
held ncar the stock yards in Chicago and the other in the Cow Palace
in San FrancisCo but the "bull" which permeated both auditoriums
was so equ!.lly balanced as to give them an even break.
Both heavily emphasized the "give-away" motif anq. tried to outprori;
ise each other in the matter of generosity with taxpayers' money
and in conferring ''benefits" on a panhandling public which sees nothing
degrading in accepting federal handoUts from our two political parties
both of which have firmly established the principle that poverty and
indolence are cardinal virtues to which taxpayers must pay tribute
while industry and thrift are qualifications carrying sinister connotations.

ern Conservative would persuade
just one othe1· person to also be·

to gTeatly increase the Circulntion
nnd would be deeply nppreciated
by the editor.
"To add to the tragedy and dash any hopes of those
who hold that a President of the United States should be an
unyielding partisan of his own country and dedicated primarily
to its advancement. interests and well-being, the United
Nations issued a press release following the Democratic convention
which said: 'The nomination of Governor Adlai Stevenson
of Illinois was generally welcomed today by United
Nations delegates ... The selection of Mr. Stevenson, together
with the nomination of Dwight D. Eisenhower as the
Republican candidate, was taken as an assurance that, whoever
was electeO, the basic foreign policy of the·United States would
continue to follow the pattern fixed by President Truman ...
The fact that both Governor Stevenson and General Eisenhower
are internationalists is expected to reduce uncertainties
over the policy that the United States will folfow in the General
Assembly'.
''This stamp of approval placed on both candidates by
the United Nations .insures that fhe American people may
expect no more consideration at the hands of the 11ext President
of the United States than the citizens of backward countries
around the world will be privileged to enjOy.
"It means that our next Chief Executive must divide his
allegiance equally between the interests of the industrious taxpayers
of the United States and the welfare of shiftless mendicants
of foreign lands.
"This is evidence that our accepted foreign policy for the
nex~ four years is to be based on the Marxian philosophy of
'takmg from each according to his means and giving to each
according to his needs'.
"It is a sad day in the history of a nation when the people
in selecting their leader. are' forced to choose the
lesser of two evils but, Brother, that's just exactly where we
are in this year of our Lord, 1952.
"It is a fundamental right of the American people to have
two candidates for President w~o represent opposite ideologies
and, .in these perilous times w1th the future of the Republic
hangmg in the balance, it is doubly essential that we enjoy
this prerogative.
Bold bids were mafle by both conventions for the support of
special classes and voting blocs such as farm groups, labor unions and
religious and racial minorities but there was no Balm in Gilead for
the millions of sound, conservative Americans in this country, including •
the 58,000,000 qualified voters who faiJed, or refused, to vote for either
Stevenson Or Eisenhower in 1952.
"We should be able io choose between a candidate. whp
believes in Constitutional government without eqmvocation or
exception; 01_1e wh~ bol?ly denounces corruption in government,
including infiltration of Communists and domination by
labor unions or any other group or class; one who is unalter·
ably opposed to Socialism as embodied in the United Nations
and who is alert to the danger to our sovereignty by any subversive
world group; one who is outspoken in defense of the
rights of the States to conduct, without any outside interference,
the internal affairs of the people including their social
customs, employment practices and any other rights granted
to them by the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the
United States.
"We should, on the other hand, have the chance to vote
for a candidate who represents the opposite principles and
who advocates State Socialism as promulgated by RoQ_sevelt
and Truman for the past twenty years.

The right to dissent is an American prerogative.

"It is my privilege and my great pleasure to introduce to you a
great Democrat, a great American and a great orator who will now
address you briefly" was Sam Rayburn's stock phrase in presenting
his contemporaries at Chicago. Whereupon, some long-winded old bore
would ascena the platform and make a liar out of him by taking a half
hour to say nothing.
* * *
We are sure that the venerable Mr. Rayburn musi have wished
many times during the proceedings that he could resort to the custom
once employed by New York's Lower East Side theaters on amateur
night. The stage director was provided with a long pole which was
hooked at ·the end. When a rotten performer got lo the point where
he was inspiring catcalls and boos, the director reached out with the
pole, hooked him around the throat anclcalmly yanked him off the stage.

One such "great orator" introduced by Chairman Rayburn was
~~0t~~rg!;~~~;o~~ ~:rfin~~~a~~~ea u0~~ h~de;:~~~~~e:~~ti~ne1~\~~:;~
squirming in their seats as he rambled on interminably about the great
achievements of the New and Fair Deals. There are few spectacles
more revolting than the sight of a bloated old multimillionaire Socialist
spouting off about "freedom from want", shedding crocodile tears
as he demands that other people "share the wealth" with the underprivileged.
and then buzzing off in his air-conditioned Cadillac.
- * * * It is widely believed that Eisenhower was in o"h Stassen's abortive
attempt to dump Nixon and that if the movement had developed
any widespread opposition to the vice pr esident, the president would
have heaved him overboard so quick it would have made his head
swim. As it turned out, poor dumb Stassen was the goat and was 1eft
to wander around the Cow Palace like a lost soul.
* * *
The conceited little ass from Independence jumped up and down
like a jack-in-the-box during the proceedings at Chicago and when hE>
fina11~ managed to get the platform, he brayed himself right out of
the p1cture. It is a tragic and regrettabla thing when a great man is
cut down but when a pipsqueak bites the dust, there are few who
mourn his end.
* * * From the acceptance speech of Stevenson at Chicago and that
of Eisenhower at San Francisco, it is clear that the two top candidates
intend to go easy on Civil Rights and let the second men on the ticket
do the dirty work. Eisenhower will tread lightly around the subject
in an effort to rope in Southen votes and Stevenson will sweet-talk
his way through the South for the same reason. The smelly job of
corraling the Negro vote will be left to Nixon and Kefauver who have
noth ing to lose as neither of them has any standing in the South, any
way. ·
* * * The biggest joke pulled at the Chicago convention was the act
by Adlai S tevenson when he played it straight and didn't smile as he
announced to the assembled convention that the nomination for vice
h~~~~;thi~~ut~d sZ; i0ri~~e t~:f:e~~~~I~ :nf~~h:~e: t~~~~~ep:Z:~~~~~
nomination was all settled weeks in advance when Kefauver swapped
such of his delegates as he could control to Stevenson in return for
which the former Illinois governor wa's to put a bug in the right ears
at the right time to cinch Kefau ver's selection for second place on
the ticket. It's all done with mirrors.
* '* *
We imagine that Lyndon J oh nson emerged from the Chicago convention
with more respect for Governor Allan Shivers of ·Texas than
he had previously shown when he was being kidded into believing
that he was a big shot by Reuther's CIO boys in Texas. Johnson lost
everything at Chicago except' his shirt and when Stevenson put a
fast one over and secretly selected Kefauver for vice presidential nominee,
a man whom Johnson holds in very low esteem, he was said to be

was a double-cr.osser, who was not to be trusted out of sight, but
J ohnson had to learn the hard way.

I ncidentally, Lyndon Joh nson had never been regarded in Texas
as a serious candidate for the presidency, the vice-presidency or even
as a favorite son. In spite of the fact that he was able to throw in with

mate because of the horse-faced Tennessean's a:ati-Southern, left-wing
stand on Civil Rights and his refusal to sign the Southern Manifesto
which tarried the signature of practically all Southern senators except
those of Kefauver and Johnson of Texas. Thus Stevenson will play
the role of a "moderate" candid3te, or a political eunuch so to speak,
while Kefauver makes his pitch along lines laid down by NAACP.
CIO, ADA and other pro-Red groups. By playing both ends against
the middle and working both sides o! the street, these two political
city slickers hope to make a cleanigg. Ain't statesmanship grand?

Averill Harriman, the multimil lionaire Socialist, was another casualty
of the Chicago convention whose presidential ambitions were
permanently stymiea. History will probably record him as merely thP
man who built the greatest number oi governm-ent-subsidized comfort
stations ever erected in the Philippine Islands.

Eisenhower's speech of acceptance at San Francisco in which no
fundamental princ:iple of the American Republic was touched on,
was reminiscent of Franklin D. Roosevelt's "pie-in-the-sky" and "brightnew-
world-of-tomorrow" technique through which the New Deal president
was able to keep unthinking Americans hypnotized until the day
of his death.

Wayne Morse had a busman's holiday at the Chicago convention
where he gave a first-hand demonstration of the manner in which
he empties the Senate Chamber in Washington by merely getting up
to ?peak. Some years ago Morse was kicked in the head by a horse
while visiting in his home state of Oregon. A lot of people think that
is what's wrong with him now. However, he was reported at the time
to have suffered no ill effects from the accident, although the horse's
hoof was said to have been permanently injured.

D.irksen of Illinois endeared ~ imsel~ t? the people of t.he South by

Wh ile the various Conservative groups which have been organized
in opposition to the two liberal major parties are regarded as of

the English-speaking people of New York and other population centers
of the North, Ellst and West.

Constitution Criticised By
[)ne Who Swore To Uphold It
As most Americans probably realize
by this time, Earl Warren is Chiel
Justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States.
Most of them also realize that his
decision on Segregation, concurred in
by the other eight weaklings •on the
Court, has stirred up racial bitterness
throughout the' South which had not
heretofore been experienced since the
close of the Civil War.
And while this dissension stri!e and
violence is taking place, Mr. Warren

The Constitution Party held its national convention in Fort Worth
on August 27-28 which claimed representation from 37 States and
adopted a platform calling for adherence to the Constitution, the Rights
of States, the repeal of the income tax amendment and such other
planks as were once taken for granted as part of the commitment
to the American people by the major partie.s before they deserted

We wonder if it is true, as reported,
that Ellen BDrden Stevenson,
Adlai's divorced wife,- is
writing a book to be caUed uThe
Egghead and 1."
There are those who still believe
that the President vetoed
the Fullbright gas bill at the last
session of Congress because his
moral sense was offended at the
appearance of attempted bribery in
connection with its passage.
Meantime, Federal regulation of
th.e production and distribu tion of
gas at the well-head continues and
it would seem that t_he immorality
involved in this invasion of the
Rights of States by Washington
would cause a Constit utional President
of the United States more
pain and humiliation than the reported
offer of a $2,500 campaign
contribu tion to a member of the
Senate by a repr~sentative of an
oil company. •
This would especially seem to
be the case in view of the fact that
it was brought out at the time that
the same representative of the
same oil company made a contribu-tion
in 1952 to the Republican
Campaign committee in the same
amount of $2,500, and certainly the
President cannot view that donation
as an attempted "bribery".
Maybe we just have a suspicious
and evil mind but we think there
would be only one reason for a
veto of this bill - which shou1d
have been approved - and that
would be because the one exerds·
ing the veto approves of Fed ·~ ra l
regulation in all cases, from gas
on down to local public sc};lool systems,
although publicly claiming
otherwise. '

These charges were made at a meeting

meeting at Baclifi charged that
control of the Committee "has passed
out of the hands of the legitimate
Society of Friends."
The Baclif£ meeting further claimed
that the Committee fosters liberal,
unitarian religious doctrines, and that
its Institutes of Internationel Rela~
tions are "schools for Communist
propaganda and liberal religions."
At Austin, one F. E. Hutchins, executive
sCcretary of the regional office
of the American Friend§' Service

the Friendswood group with the bland
admission: "We are accustomed to

Health" Groups
By Congress
What the difference is between
'
1Civil Liberties" and "Civil
Rights'\ we wouldn't know. We
only know that leftists groups are
working both subjects for all the
traffic will bear.
Those old boys in the Kremlin
back there in October, 1927, who
first thought up the idea of ::;tilTing
up strife among Negroes and other
minority groups in the United
States by reminding them that
their "Civil Rights" and Civil Lib·
erties" were being violated and
thereby promoting the interests of
Communism i.n this country, perhaps
dicfn't realize at the time hc.w
aggressively some of their ideo·
logical allies here would latch on
to their suggestion and promote the
idea for all it was worth.
So much emphasis has been
placed on the matter that we have
recently seen the two major political
parties in the United States
practically relegate all other issues
to the background while they
sweated and labored to say just
exactly the proper things in their
"civil rights" planks and their platform
writers did a balancing act
on a tight rope as they endeavored
to attract the 11minority" vote without,
at the same time, repelling the
"majority vOte". It was quite a
feat of political acrobatics but both
parties apparently feel that they
have "gofle and do11e it".
Perhaps inspired to greater ac~
tivity by all this concern in the
minority races, the American Civil
Liberties Union, now gets into the
act by making a bid for some of
the easy money that is always
available to Pinkos under whatever
name.
In August a letter went out to
prospective contributors from this
American Civil Liberties Union
signed by Elmer Davis, as a member
of the National Committee. Mr.
Davis warns that the Bill of Rights
needs protecting and as evidence of
this great need, he points out that
"Emmett Till's murderers are
free".
What he intends to do about a
criminal case which the legal authorities
of the sovereign State of
Mississippi have officially disposed
'Of is not made clear in his letter so~
liciting financial aid and we greatly
fear that the "protecton" he
proposes to give the Bill of Rights
would largely resemble that which
a wolf might offer to a coop full
of fat chickens.
Names of the sponsors of any
organiaztion always intrigue us
and those on the letterhead of Mr.
Davis' ACLU outfit held such fascination
for us that w"e decided to
make a run-down on them. There
are 29 members of the Board of
Directors and 78 members of their
National Committee. Of these 107
men and women whose hearts are
bleeding for the "civil liberties" of
their downtrodden fellowm,en, 59,
-or more than one-half, have official
citations as having belonged to one
or more Communi'it fronts dedi-
-- cated to the overthrow of the
American government.
Perhaps some one should set up
an organization to protect the
American form of government
from the protectors of "civil liberties".
After all, what· good will
their "civil liberties" do them if
they are able to abolish tl)e only
government in the world which
could insure such "liberties"?
If arly of .... the fuzzy-brained
Pinkos on the ACLU letterhead are
able to intelligently answer that
question, even we will be Willing
to kick in and send Davis the ten
bucks which he is asking American
suckers to send him.

"2109" Is Valuable
Contribution to -the
Record of Subversion
Circuit Riders, Inc., of Cincinnati,
Ohio, is a national independent
group of Methodists which
exposes and opposes the use of
church facilities, programs and
personnel for the spread of Socialistic
propaganda.
One of the invaluable services
this organization has rendered is
the publication of a brochure car-rying
the names and Communist
front affiliation of 2)09 Methodist
ministers throughout the United
States.
No comment is made in any case
and the brochure merely lists the
record of these ministers as taken
from official reports of the investigating
committee .• of Congr es.s and
of the various states. The compilation
was made, according to the
publishers after years of meticulous
research work, document! tion
and the expenditure of considerabl'e
money.
The title of this brochure is
simply "2109" and the address of
the organization sponsoring it is
Circuit Riders, Inc., 18 East 4th
Street, Cincinnati 2, Ohio and one
dollar will bring the brochure- to
those desiring it.
It is understood that the organization
will also bring out the Communist
front record of other denominations
and the information
should be of great value to those
who are interested in keeping a
file of subversive activities.
ly unbalanced than any patient they
might be called on to treat, and it is
they who are giving a black eye to
an honorable profession.
If the Congress of the United States
would make a thorough investigation
of the whole "mental health" set-up,
they would find that most of these
national and international organizations
are merely propaganda mediums
of a very sinister and dangerous
type .and that, In the final analysis
their subversive propaganda is directed
against the United States. All are
openly committed to some form of
one-world government and that means
the end of the United States as a
free, independent and sovereign Republic.
In their book, patriotism and love
of one's own countryo is a form of
insanity, oply "freedom from moral
ity means freedom to think" and their
top screwball, Dr. C. B. Chisholm
who, by all accepted measure-nents of
sanity Is as crazy as a bedbug, says
that "even self-defense" involves
"neurotic reaction" and especially
when it means "defending one's own
wealth from others who are in great
need."
Recently the World Fedcrntion for
Mental Health which works closely
with WHO of the United Nations with
headquarters in London, issued its annual
report which gan a list of its
sponsors and associates in the various
countries. •
There were two pages of Americans
shown as affiliated with the outfit
and for the information of o"Ur readers
we decided to go into their backgrounds
by checking their reC"ords
with official government files on sub-version.
On this list serving as fhe American
representatives Qf the World's Federation
for Mental Health, there were
37 individuals, both men and women,
who have been cited os belonging to
Communist organizations which advocote
the overthrow of the American
government.
God knows it is dangerous enough
to the security of this country when
those in government, defense. education,
religion and labor align themselves
with Communist causes but
when those who tinker with the human
mind also seek such affiliation,
it seems to us that it is high time
something be done about it . ..
PoliCies closely resembling those
of Henry Wallace when he was

Behavior of Texas Voters
Leaves Us Slightly Dizzy
The po1itical situation in Texas, to put it mildly, is about as confused
and contradictory as it is possible for the affairs of an American
Commonwealth to be in this muddled world.
In the first primary on July 28, Senator Price Daniel led the ticket
in the race for governor by more than 165,000.
In the same primary·Texans voted to keep segregation and against
all forms of integration by an average-of three to one and in some cases,
five to on~.
Since Daniel's opponent in the run-off was Ralph Yarborough,
a perennial candidate for the office and regarded as the voice of the
CIO and the NAACP, the vote on integration by the people of the
State provided Daniel with an effective and dynamic issue around
which the great majority of Texans could be expected to rally.
The issue was ready and waiting but Daniel ignored it and, for
some reason beyond the power of most Texans to fathom, merely
made token protest against integration. Perhaps it was the Washington
influence to which he was exposed for some tb._ree or four years
and where a courageous and forthright expression on any issue is regarded
as little short of treason.
At any rate he nosed Yarborough out by only three thousand
votes, the narrowest margin by which a candidate for governor of
Texas has been elected within memory, in the second primary on
August 25.
Between the first and second primaries when it became evident
that Daniel was metely going to flirt with the segregation issue,
most people lost interest and the campaign in the August run-off
election was the dullest and most listless contest ever staged in the
State. More than 200,000 TeXans who voted in the first primary didn't
even go to the polls in August. - •
These internationalists control
not only the money of the world
but have· a firm grasp on the political,
social, educational, labor
and religious forces of the United
States who think and act as a unit .
toward the attainment of the overall
international objective.
This objective, of course, is ultimate
one-world government and
the inclusion of the United States
into this super-governing body aiter
its sovereignty has been grad·
ually whittled away.
Whether or not Mr. Eisenhower
was sympathetic to the internationalist
cause before he became
President, we wouldn't know but
we do know from his actions and
his public statements that he is
an enthusiastic convert to their
program now. During the past
four years, he has advanced the
internationalist p 1 an immeasurably
and it is only reasonable to
assume that he will take us further
- if not all the way ·- toward
a one-world government ii
he is givert another .four years in
office.
By this we do not mean to imply
for a moment that Adlai StCvenson
would not become their captive,
if elected, because we are
convinced that he would. He is so
thoroughly embued with the
Marxian philosophy, and so utterly
lacking in understanding of,
and sympathy for, the fundament
a l principJ s of t he American Republic,
that he would probably
fall into the internationalist trap
without waiting to be pushed, just
like over-ripe fruit from the limb
of a persimmon tree•
But Eisenhower has four years'
advantage of him in experience, in
international contacts and indoctrination
which makes him far
more valuable to one-world planners
than Stevenson who W"Uul~
have to be educated from scratc.:h,
and initiated into all the intricate
and complicated m e t h o d s by
which a great nation is dismantled
and gradually welded into a larger
world super-state.
Because these internationalist
forces are all-powerful and because
their influence extends all

To make the affair more weird, W. Lee O'Daniel,-former governor ...
and United States senator ~ho received some quarter of a million
votes in the first primary and who has a strong following among rural
voters, came out at the last minute and ask~d his supporters to vote
in the second primary for Ralph Yarborough on the ground that Yarborough
was the weakest candidate and promised that he, O'Daniel,
would make the race as an Independent in November and beat Yarborough,
thereby insuring the election of a strong segregationist as
governor of the State.
The anti-States Rights liberals
are now clamoring for the <~unification"

for the proposed Federal system

attempts to influence Negro votes.
Apparently the majority of his followers t.ook him seriously and
voted in large numbers for Yarborough although the legality of a
candidate making the race in July as a Democrat and as an Independent
in November has been seriously questioned in some quarters.
About the only thing which has been proved by the whole proceeding
is that the leftists are going to have to get themselves some
new material next time since Yarborough has been an unsuccssful
contender for the office in five different primaries and that is way

September, 195b THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE Page7
Anyone Wanting the Low-Down
Will Form a Line to the Left
From the Christian Century,
perhaps the pinkest of many pink
church publications in this country,
it is learned that the New
England Methodist Conference
meeting in Malden, Massachusetts,
recentlY went a step further
into extracurricular 1 activities
than has been taken in- all previous
history of that denomination.
It was decided at this Conference
that "planned parenthood is
a Christian responsibility" and a
resolution passed at the gathering
advised Methodist ministers to
'·make information on planned
parenthood available to parishioners''
and "to advise people where
to secure birth control information.''
Whether the good men of the
Cloth will openly discuss the subject
during their Sunday morning
sermon or slip the information to
their worshippers privately as
they file out the door following
the singing of the Doxology, was
not made clear in the Century's
discussion of the matter.
In other resolutions, the Conference
demanded mixing of Ne-
. groes and white people ~'in ALL
areo.s of society,'' denounced the
right-to.-work laws of the several
States, urged that money given
away to foreign countries be distributed
through the United Nations
and called for the emasculation
of the McCarren-Walter immigration
law which was pa~ed in
the interest of the national security
of this country.
Admission of Red Chjna to the
United Nations was strongly approved
in a heated debate on the
subject, but official approval of
this step was defeated.
Nothing of a religious nature
was discussed at the Conference
apparently as there was no mention
of it in the record of the }1roceedings
appearing in the Century.

Communist Frontier In
NAACP Agitates For
Racial Mixing
Dr. W. T. White. Superintendent of
the Daiias Public Schools has taken
a very firm and commendable position
in regard to the matter of segregation.
Dallas schools, he announcf'd, would
· continue segregated as before during
the 1956~57 terms. Beyond that, he
had nothing to say.
The position of Dallas school officials
has been made difficult because
of the activities of a Negro representing
the. NAACP there, one U. Simpson
Tate, who, Jitie the rest of the Negroes
and white trash composing that
organidhon, has sought court action
to force integration in many parts of
the South. Only in one large Texas
city, however, has any progress been
made in this respect and that is theextremely
"liberal" city or San Antonio,
where some schools have accepted
the mongrelization program.
U. Simpson Tate, the Negro attorney
for the NAACP at Dallas, is
named on page 626 Vol. 1 of the
Special Committee on un-Amcrican
Activities, 1938-"fnvestigation of UnAmel'ican
Activities in the Pnited
States" - as having been· national
treasurer of the Nationa! Negro Congress
at one time, which was cited as
Communist and subversive by the Attorney
General of the United States .
"World Goodwill" Outfit
Makes Threats Against
Future of U. S.
There is not muCh heard of an
outfit called "World Goodwill" because
it has not been publicised as
much as some other one-wor:d organizations
whose p1·opaganda is
cluttering up the mail and the
communications media of all nations.
But the "World Goodwill"
group is one of the most £ubtle
and dangerous of alL
It has headquarters in Lond01l,
New York and, of course, Geneva
which is a hotoed of world movements
and where it is eventually
planned to locate the head of the
one-wor.ld government.
Although this World Goodwill
has been putting out literature for
several years, it ha's only now begun
the issuance of a regular bulletin,
volume 1 and number 1 of
which has just been issued. -
It is characteristic of the trash
they put out that no names are
ever shown, and it is virtually impossible
to pin down the identity
of its sponsors with the exception
of one Ian Gordon-Bro.wn of London
who signed a letter sent out in
August soliciting funds.
Two typical paragraphs from
their bulletin carry a veiled
threat against those who might
protest against world government
and implies the futility of "ignorant
and useless resistance" just as
the people of the United Stales
have it hammered..into their heads
that "ignorant and u-;eless resistance"
will get them nowhere in
connection with the Supreme
Court's assault on the Amedcan
Constitution.
Here is a typical "gem" from
the World Goodwill bulletin:
"The Twentieth Century
has been aptly characterized
'the century of change'. Some
people still mourn the passing
of 'the good old days' and try
to resist the swift current of
~;oe~ts t~~vesei/~~ganiSe:mf~:£-
able anchorage of familiar custom.
The uncertainty and the
adventurous challenge of the
future for whic~ the experiments
of today are a temporary
phase of preparation, excite
a sense of expectancy in
some of us and of foreboding
in others.
''Nevertheless this individual
reaction is relatively unimportant
because whether we
like it or not there is no blinding
our eyes to the fact that
humanity stands on the threshold
of a new age. We have the
choice.. of cooperating intelligently
and skillfully in the
birth of the new day so that it
may dawn in beauty, or of
sticking in our toes and raising
a dust cloud of ignorance
and useless resistance. We
shall be in spite of ourselves
'carried kicking and screaming
into the new age' as Mr.
Adlai Stevenson is reported to
have said on a recent occasion".
This last paragraph should be
read over and over again. Certainly
some interest will be stimulated
in the citizen's mind as to who
is back of all these threats that are
constantly being made against the
American people. And where does
'Low Mentality Groups' Damctge U. S.

Book That Reflects No
Credit On Its Author
General Telford Taylor's book
"The Grand Inquest" is devoted to
condemnation of investigating
committees of Congress and to security
measures which have been
passed for the protection of the
Republic.
No one will question General
Taylor's right to author such a
book but there must be many who
challenge his judgment and his
wisdom in issuing a volume which
can only give aid and comfort to
the enemy.
The "Grand Inquest" is further
verification and vindication of
charges made by Senator Joseph
R. McCarthy..._ of Wisconsin concerning
sympathy for the Communist
cause on the part of Americans
in high places in t)le government,
in the Army and in defense
plants.
The announcement by the Constitution
Party, preceding its
Fort Wo1·th meeting on August
27th that Mary Cain of Mississippi
would make a k e y no t e

Any speech the brilLiant Mary
Cain makes is a "Key-note address,"

subject or the occasion.

Would it be surprising if Negro

The United States should not permit
Negro troops to be billeted in all~white

segregation in the (lrmed forces. Segregation,
we hqve been told, supplies
bad propaganda. Yet the American

avoid reference to race can't hide the

This is the inevitable outcome
when political weaklings and incompetents

of taking up and disposing of matters

gimlet-headed politicians in their

MoScow Communists, ever on
the alert for trouble-raising issues
which would promote Communism

Roosevelt who was always a
sucker for any social experiment,
no matter how outlandish, farfetched
or bizarre, fell right in
with the plan to foment discontent
among colored people of the
South. It proved effective and
diverted many votes to the Democrats
which had traditionally gone
to the Republicans. Truman employed
the same cheap, scurvy and
disgusting tactics which further
cemented the colored vote to the
Democratic Party.
When Eisenhower came to power
with his promises of a "change"
and his avowed intention of halting
corruption and cleaning up the
mess, he took a second look and
decided that this potential source
of votes was worth further exploitation.
Accordingly he has worked

as to the activities of the government, was unquestioned, and accepted
as a matter of course.
Truman had been faced with some embarrassing investig~tions
involving the loyalty of highly-placed government. personnel such as
Alger Hiss, Han-y Dexter \Vhite, William Remington and others which
had evoked the President's notorious "red herring" statements. With
the spite and vindictiveness which were, and are, the outstanding traits
in Truman's character, he retaliated by issuing the Censorship order.
When "the change" came in 1952, it was confidently believed that
this order would be rescinded and that the Congress and the American
people would once again be given all legitimate information, and especially
in peacetime, to which the citizens in a free Republic are entitled.
However, Mr. Eisenhower did not only not see fit to rescind this cen-f~

hearings in which he said: "You will instruct employees of your Department
that in all their appea~ances bef?re it (Army-McCarthy
hearings) they are not to testify". Smce that tlme, according to Senate
document 2621, Report of the Committee on Government Operations,
page 31, more than twenty government agenci~s and departments have
cited this letter as their grounds for refusing information to Congress.
Meantime, the American people have become more or less used
to the semi-slave status in which they find themselves and in which
they are not allowed any information concerning the activities of their
government except such censored data as the executive department
and its agencies may dole out, although members of the Congress
have never ceased to vigorously protest the refusal of information to
them which i~ necessary in diScharging their legislative responsibilities.
It was, therefore, with much the same shocked amazement that
would attend the dropping of an atomic bomb, that members -Of the
Congress and the American people received the startling information
t~at a newspaper man had been turned loose to graze among the secret
flies and documents which have so long been withheld and that this
newspaper man, Robert J . Donovan had incorporated this information
in a book called "The Inside Story".
Senator John L. Mcclellan is Chairman of t e Permanent Subcommittee
on Investigations of the Committee on Government Operations.
which committee had tried in vain to get vital information from the
Execu~ive Depart~ent in connection with a series 6f hearings which it
had been conductmg into the matter of East-West trade and the down~
grading and de-control of strategic goods which NATO countries were
being permitted to shift to European Communist bloc countries.
The attitude of the majority of the members of this committee was
expressed in this statement by Chairman McClellan on Page 556 of the
Report on hearings on East-West Trade, part 3:
"It is something novel in my experience that a Senator-ial or Congressional
committee charged with the duty and responsibility of studying
the government at all levels can be denied government documents,
memoranda and material which is on file in the executive branch of the
government on the grounds that it is confidential; documents that are
certainly at a lower level than the minutes of Cabinet proceedings and
then find that the minutes of Cabinet proceedings which are secret and
confidential, can be made available for public use, for private enterprise,
and for profit and gain to some individuaL It presents a rather shocking
situation to the Chair".
Chairman McClellan immediately dispatched a letter to Maxwell
Rabb (formerly Rabinowitz), Secretary of the Cabinet in which he told
him it was difficult to understand why confidential information had
been given to an outsider which had repeatedly been refused to committees
of the Congress. Senator McClellan respectfully asked Rabb to
appear before his Committee and testify concerning the matter.
With typical arrogance of the little man in a big job, Rabb curtly
>eplied to Senator McClellan telling him that he knew nothing about
ttehset ifmy.a tter and, relying on Eisenhower 's censorship rule, refused to
Meantime, it is reported that Donovan is getting rich on the sale of
his books at five dollars each, and that his new job as a peddler of secret,
inside information from government files is proving so prqf\l:able that
he may retire from his profession as an active newspaper correspondent.
On the jacket of the book, Donovan openly brags that: "For the first
time in our history an administration while still in office has permitted
a distinguished journalist (Gad, how he hates himself.-Editor) to compile
an authentic, independent account of its conduct of affairs of state.
In this sense this book is an inside story of Eisenhower in the White
House. Here is a wealth of new and unpublished information obtained
through access to Cabinet officers, key men and other sources. The book
reveals much about the President and his associates; it also shows how
great decisions were reached and describes the intimate workings of
the White House".
Since we are an avid seeker of information-inside or otherwiseon
the behavior of Washington politicians, we dug down in our jeans
and gave up five dollars for the book containing 422 pages of "inside
information" and while we, with all our other responsibilities, have only
made a very perfunctory examination of it, we find that there is one
very significant piece of "inside information" which Mr. Donovan
omitted and that is:
"Who promoted Peress"?
State laws specify that the name
of each voter shall be cnteted on
the list at the time he receives
his ballot and marks it. Of course
voters do not come to the polls in
alphabetical order so there was
something obviously wrong.
A poll of those whose names
were turned in by the precinct
chairman in this all-Negro box
showed that many of them were ill,
out of' the State, or for other reasons
did not vote.
The frightened Negro woman
who was election judge for the
controversial box refused to comment
other than to repeat what
she had been told to say: "Returns
from that box are valid".
The matter is in the hands o[
the Grand Jury and they will no
doubt deal leniently with the Negroes
The real culprit is probably some
whi.te scoundrel who put them up
to the crookedness. He forgot to
instruct them ;>roperly and of
course they know nothing of the
law on the subject and thoroughly
messed up the attempt to stuff the
box.

the first primary reported 1060
in the last Ql'jma1·y_,. with.- lC34..
for Yarborough the NAACP candidate,
an,d 26 for Price Daniel.
The1·e is nothing that infuriate~
us like having someone refer to
the United States as a "Democracy."
Heretofore, we have at ..
tributed such errors to ignorance
but apparently that is not the answer.
At San Francisco Mr. Eisenhower
called the United States a
"Democracy" and certainly he is
not ignorant. We can only assume
that his designation of the Republic
as a "Democracy·· was deliberate.
Westb1·ook Pegle1· who can hit

the two recent politi.cal conventions

the whole nation. The truth is
that both the Democratic and Republican

plain impediments to their
