This brings us to th e question as to w hat the NAACP’s ultim ate objective really is. This is im por ta n t because we know from past experience the NAACP no sooner wins a concession than it makes new and even more extrem e de mands, each victory is followed by new agitation. It is appropriate, therefore, to examine th e NAACP's program in some detail. JEW ISH LEADERSHIP Before doing that, however, it is necessary to correct a popular misconception as to the leader ship of the NAACP. Because it is not really and tru ly a Negro or ganization a t all. The people be hind the NAACP are not Negroes, but Jews. This will come as a su r prise to some because the organi zation invariably uses Negroes as fronts for its activities, and the rank and file of its staff is Negro. N evertheless t h e president of NAACP, and th e real power in the o r g a n i z a t i o n , is the Jew, A rth u r Spingarn. W hen this fact is digested th e revolutionary pro gram of the NAACP becomes a little more comprehensible. . . THINGS TO COME The NAACP'S objective for the next ten years is no secret. On the contrary it has been m apped out in detail and publicized under the slogan, "Free by 63". The “F ree by 63" campaign was launched last March at a W ashington D.C. meet ing w ith the blessings of Ike Eisenhower, who addressed t h e convention. The plan calls for the raising of a million dollars an nually for the next ten years and the announced goal is the total abolishm ent of racial segregation.

Tho S u p re m e c o u rt has so d e c r e e d it. . . w h i t e residential neighborhoods until th e “black belt" and th e all w hite neighborhood are merged and th u s cease to exist as such. The NAACP’s program is based upon th e prem ise th a t anti-dis crim ination laws now in existence are ineffective so long as Negroes and w hites continue to occupy separate residential communities. U nder p r e s e n t conditions, th e NAACP argues, N egro business establishm ents operate o n l y i n Negro com m unities, while w hite business places service only w hite districts. Negro civil servants—i.e. police, firemen, postal employees, etc. — generally are assigned to Negro areas, while w hite civil servants w o r k in w hite areas. Schools in Negro districts are attended exclusively by Negroes, and by the sam e rule w hites often a tten d th e ir own schools even in states w here there is no official school segregation. Negro districts have th e ir own social organiza tions and churches, as do the whites. Similarly, swimming pools, social affairs and sports activities tend to follow along th e same lines, although there are m any ex ceptions to th e rule. Thus, accord ing to the NAACP's reasoning, the races will not freely mingle so long as they reside in different neighborhoods. This is the key to the en tire situation. “FR EE BY ’63” The NAACP’s proposed solution, therefore, is to mix up w hites and Negroes until th ere is no such th in g as a w hite or black residen tial area. Then, and only then, will Negroes and w hites mix at school, a t work, a t church, in res tau ran ts, a t the sw im m ing pool, a t sports and in social activities. That, in essence, is th e goal of the NAACP's "F ree by 63" campaign. t h e o u tla w in g o f r e s tr ic t iv e c o v e n a n ts , t h e p r e s id e n t's “l i t t l e F .E .P .C ." a n d o th e r s i m ila r d e v e lo p m e n ts a r e b u t th e fir s t s te p s in t h i s p r o c e s s .

Almond, Ex-'Massive R esister/ NAACP Now Fighting On The Same Side By SAMUEL HOSKINS As in the battle of polities, the merry-go-round con­ troversy over public school desegregation in Virginia is Both backing program to save schools making strange bed-fellows. Current school-front events in the Old Dominion are having the heretofore unbelievable effect of moving the NAACP and Gov. J. Lindsay Almond into almost identical positions in the fight to save Virginia’s schools. Gov. Almond, who only a year ago was one of the most vocal proponents of “ massive resistence,” has finally moved into position as leader of the state’s moderates. THE GOVERNOR formally assumed this position when he delivered the commencement speech recently before graduates of the private school at Front Royal which itelf was an offspring of the desegregation controversy. He said he was taking his stand in support of public schools, some integration notwithstanding. This keep-the-schools-open position is identical to that maintained by the NAACP since the early days of “messive resistance” . The NAACP’s latest declaration of its anti-school clos­ ing policy was voiced, last week, at a mass meeting in Prince Edward County where the school board has voted to cut off public schools funds rather than carry out a fed­ eral court desegregation order. Oliver W. Hill, chief counsel for the Virginia NAACP, again pledged the organization to continue its fight against school closing. GOV. ALMOND'S shift did not occur overnight As long Ballot Ban DilemmajRlCHMO PlaguingMississippi ago as last fall, rabid segregationists accused him of be­ ing “ soft” in enforcing the state’s school closing law. The criticism evaporated, however, when as chief ex­ ecutive of an avowed “ massive resistance” administration, the Governor envoked the state’s school-closing law and padlocked schools in Front Royal, Charlottesville and Norfolk. The break with the segregationists re-occurred and be­ came both bitter and political last January following the collapse of “ massive resistence’’ and institution o'f the Gov­ ernor's so-called “freedom of choice” program. In the subsequent special session of the Legislature, the Governor told Virginia lawmakers that some integra­ tion was invitable as there was no legal means of pre­ venting it. HE REJECTED arbitrary use of his police powers on the grounds that a power showdown with the Federal Gov­ ernment was doomed from the start. For this action he was bitterly denounced by both poli­ ticians from Southside Virginia and dead-end segregation­ ists throughout the state. Lynn Shelton, editor of the Halifax Gazette, stated: “ He (Almond) made Benedict Arnold look like a candidate for the Congressional Medal of Honor.” The Halifax Town Council accused him of failing to up­ hold sworn pledges.

To be eligible for jury: duty in Mississippi a person must be a qualified voter. Because there are no 'If pulpit freedom is lost, every other is in jeopardy' CHARLOTTE, N.C. — "If the freedom of one minister is sacrificed, the freedom of us all is in danger. And if the freedom of the pulpit is lost, then every other freedom is in jeopardy." Ernest T. Thompson, Richmond, moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, southern branch, made this statement to the North Carolina Presby­ terian Synod. He referred to the dismissal of the Rev. Robert Mc­ Neill from a Columbus, Ga. Presbyterian church because he advocated "creative contact” between the races to eliminate friction. The Rev. Mr. McNeill’s dismissal should be challenged, said Mr. Thompson. As a result of the tension and strain surrounding his dismissal, the Rev. Mr. McNeill suffered a heart attack from which' he is recovering. PEOPLE The Blackstone Junior Chamber of Commerce stated he traded principle for political expediency. PETITION calling for his impeachment was circu­ lated from an Arlington post office box. It condemned the Governor for not using his police power "to resist the il­ legal encroachments of the Jcwish-Communist controlled NAACP.” Gov. Almond lightly dismissed the petition as “ hate literature." Later he was shocked into full realization of how far his opponents would go when a would-be assassin fired a rifle shot at him as he was leaving the State House. Now the Governor is fully aware of the dangerous po. tential of the opposition, both politically and so far as the future of Virginia’s schools arc concerned. Despite this, he has taken his stand and has indicated that he will take the figljt for schools to the people of Vir­ ginia. In the main, his appeal to the public will be for sup­ port for legislators who support his progrom. The payoff is this: when the real showdown comes the NAACP, which has been so bitterly criticized by Almond, will be among his most staunch supporters.

Francis Pickens Miller, a foe of the Byrd Democratic organization, urged Virginia la­ bor today to give "whole­ hearted and enthusiastic sup­ port” to Governor Almond's present stand in the state's school integration crisis. M i l l e r of Charlottesville spoke a t the second session of the fourth annual convention of the state AFL-CIO a t Tantilla Garden. Milled, who ran unsuccess­ fully for Governor in 1948 and for Sen. H arry F. Byrd’s seat in the United States Senate in 1952, said: "Support the Governor on the one hand, and on the other be very wary of the people who c a l l themselves ‘Defenders.’ Some of them are wolves in sheep’s clothing. "I read with great interest the statements put out at their recent convention in Richmond. Their attack on the leadership of the Christian church was exactly the kind of attack the Communists would want to have made. . . . On this point the Defenders would feel v e r y much a t home in Moscow.” ‘FACING ACTUALITIES’ Since the end of January when he publicly abandoned a policy of massive resistance, Almond "has been facing actu­ alities and talking sense -to the people,” Miller told some 600 AFL-CIO delegates and guests. He said that before Almond learned "what the score is,” the state was passing through "one of the sorriest periods in Vir­ ginia’s long and honorable his­ tory.” The South. Miller said, re­ ceived from Virginia "misinfor­ mation . . . and received rec­ ommendations for a policy of ‘interposition’ and ‘massive re­ sistance’ which well informed men knew to be utterly un­ realistic and misleading. . . .

Boyd, President of Labor Group ; "N or was it a case of the blind leading the blind,” Miller said, "but of men who could see perfectly well, leading the people down a blind alley for reasons of their own. Never in our h i s t o r y has leadership stooped so low and deserved less well of the Commonwealth.” Miller also criticized the edi- torial position of The News X Leader in the school contro- versy. I SPEECH CITED » Miller then cited Almond’s t speech at Front Royal on June • 9 as "the most responsible and r the most statesmanlike utter' ance we have had from a Gov­ ernor since 1954.” • Political defeats suffered by ■ labor in Virginia, he said, "are : not due to misfortune but pri1 marily to the political apathy of your own members.

A nother NAACP victory, won w ith th e help of organized Jewry, was the so-called "little F.E.P.C.” which Eisenhow er in stitu ted last year. The “little F.E.P.C.” compels all governm ent contractors to hire Negroes and m em bers of other m inority groups under th re a t of having th eir contracts cancelled, thus im posing over a substantial portion of American industry a de facto FEPC. . .

This brings us to th e question as to w hat the NAACP’s ultim ate objective really is. This is im por ta n t because we know from past experience the NAACP no sooner wins a concession than it makes new and even more extrem e de mands, each victory is followed by new agitation. It is appropriate, therefore, to examine th e NAACP's program in some detail. JEW ISH LEADERSHIP Before doing that, however, it is necessary to correct a popular misconception as to the leader ship of the NAACP. Because it is not really and tru ly a Negro or ganization a t all. The people be hind the NAACP are not Negroes, but Jews. This will come as a su r prise to some because the organi zation invariably uses Negroes as fronts for its activities, and the rank and file of its staff is Negro. N evertheless t h e president of NAACP, and th e real power in the o r g a n i z a t i o n , is the Jew, A rth u r Spingarn. W hen this fact is digested th e revolutionary pro gram of the NAACP becomes a little more comprehensible. . . THINGS TO COME The NAACP'S objective for the next ten years is no secret. On the contrary it has been m apped out in detail and publicized under the slogan, "Free by 63". The “F ree by 63" campaign was launched last March at a W ashington D.C. meet ing w ith the blessings of Ike Eisenhower, who addressed t h e convention. The plan calls for the raising of a million dollars an nually for the next ten years and the announced goal is the total abolishm ent of racial segregation.

Tho S u p re m e c o u rt has so d e c r e e d it. . . w h i t e residential neighborhoods until th e “black belt" and th e all w hite neighborhood are merged and th u s cease to exist as such. The NAACP’s program is based upon th e prem ise th a t anti-dis crim ination laws now in existence are ineffective so long as Negroes and w hites continue to occupy separate residential communities. U nder p r e s e n t conditions, th e NAACP argues, N egro business establishm ents operate o n l y i n Negro com m unities, while w hite business places service only w hite districts. Negro civil servants—i.e. police, firemen, postal employees, etc. — generally are assigned to Negro areas, while w hite civil servants w o r k in w hite areas. Schools in Negro districts are attended exclusively by Negroes, and by the sam e rule w hites often a tten d th e ir own schools even in states w here there is no official school segregation. Negro districts have th e ir own social organiza tions and churches, as do the whites. Similarly, swimming pools, social affairs and sports activities tend to follow along th e same lines, although there are m any ex ceptions to th e rule. Thus, accord ing to the NAACP's reasoning, the races will not freely mingle so long as they reside in different neighborhoods. This is the key to the en tire situation. “FR EE BY ’63” The NAACP’s proposed solution, therefore, is to mix up w hites and Negroes until th ere is no such th in g as a w hite or black residen tial area. Then, and only then, will Negroes and w hites mix at school, a t work, a t church, in res tau ran ts, a t the sw im m ing pool, a t sports and in social activities. That, in essence, is th e goal of the NAACP's "F ree by 63" campaign. t h e o u tla w in g o f r e s tr ic t iv e c o v e n a n ts , t h e p r e s id e n t's “l i t t l e F .E .P .C ." a n d o th e r s i m ila r d e v e lo p m e n ts a r e b u t th e fir s t s te p s in t h i s p r o c e s s .

By “pre­ serving” is m eant the obstruc­ tion a n d /o r evasion of various laws of the S tate of Virginia; by "improving” is m eant the incorporation of every ultim ate lunacy in "life-adjustm ent” education. T he large assortm ent of Ar­ lington organizations which are dedicated to these noble p u r­ poses m ight appear, from their number, to be representing huge masses of Arlington citi­ zens. Actually, it is simply the case of the sam e three apples in different baskets. F o r example: the Society for the Perpetuation of Everything T h a t’s Just Peachy in th e A r­ lington Schools has as Presi­ dent, A; as Executive Secre­ tary, B; and as Treasurer, C. The Committee for the P ropa­ gation of a Sublime F aith in Educationists has as President, C; as Executive S ecretary, A, and as its T reasurer, B. The Council for the Prom otion of N othing But Progress has as President, B; as Executive Sec­ retary, C, and as T reasurer, A; and so on. A, B, and C, plus some dozen o r sixteen devoted followers, hive off a new society about every three days. The first of­ ficial act of the society is to d r a w up a ponderous and unanimous resolution, to which the W a s h i n g t o n P o s t, the W a s h i n g t o n E v e n i n g S t a r , and th e N o r t h e r n V i r g i n i a S u n im ­ m ediately devote three columns and an editorial. NOW, THERE are a good m any substantial citizens in this a r e a who are not in agreem ent with the views of A, B, and C, either as to the m eaning of the word “preserv­ ing” o r as to the significance of the word "improving.” I happen to be one of these citi­ zens, and I should like to in­ form you of a recent incident in m y career which m ay en­ lighten you concerning the remarkable nature of life in Arlington County. Since A, B, and C have ex­ clusive control of (a) th e A r­ lington professional education­ ists, (b) the Arlington P-TA's (which represent about one out of every four parents of A r­ lington school children), (c) the propaganda a n d f u n d ­ raising facilities of (a ), (b), and the Arlington schools, and (d) all the media for m asspropaganda. I am having re ­ course to your fair-m inded paper. Forgive me for sta tin g a t this point th at I am m yself a professional educator; specifi­ cally, an Educational Special­ ist, GS-11, in the F ederal S erv­ ice for about 10 years. I m en­ tion this only because it is rele­ vant to the ensuing tale. I took up residence in A r­ lington, as a home-owner, about a year ago, having pre­ viously observed the A rlington b attle from a residence in the District. T h e r e are m any things about the tactics em ­ ployed by A, B, and C which I have always considered fa r from edifying, but m y prim ary reason for personally entering the fray was a strong desire, which I share with Dr. A rth u r Bestor and many o th er dis­ tinguished scholars, to bring about a restoration of learning in the American public schools. Shortly after entering the Arlington contest, I spoke on w hat I suppose I m ust call the "conservative” side a t a couple of School Board meetings, and w rote a few letters to the press on the same side—all in th e space, I should judge, of about the past m onth. And this brings me to th e gist of my communication.

January 3 , 1959. 0 Dear Stratford Student: You have heard a great deal of discussion of late in your homes and schools and community about the stand tho Commonwealth of Virginia has taken in opposing the Uni­ ted States Supreme Court ruling of May 1 , 1954, regarding integration of the races 7 in our public schools. Realizing now that the situation is coning upon you— affecting you, your school, your school social life— and also realizing that at this point in your school career you have not yet been afforded the opportunity of a thorough study of our government, the Defenders of State Sovereignty and Individual Liberties wants to take this oppor­ tunity to help you to answer that important question you are surely asking-- W y Why 'h? is Virginia t l i g such a stand? Why? acn The Constitution— definition: Government of laws rather than of men as rulers; ( ) Written by men who studied the faults and good points of all governments in h s a i tory( ) Because of this Constitution our country has become the most prosperous— - e p e hav b pol more freedoms— standard of living higher; ( ) Constitution provided for three divisions of our government— Legislative, Executive c and Judicial. ( ) The Legislative Branch is made up of our Congressmen and Senators. They are 1 elected by the people and their job is to write new laws. ( ) The President heads the Executive Branch, the duties of which are to execute 2 the laws adopted by the Congress. ( ) The Judicial Branch is our system of courts which interprets the laws adopted 3 by Congress. This separation of power was provided so that each of the three departments could serve as a check upon the others, s that no one department could "take over control" o and destroy the balance of power and ultimately destroy our form of government. How to answer why Virginia is taking the stand it i : The Supreme Court in 1954 s "passed" a law— and it was called "the l v of t r land"— You've all heard that, haven't a; ie you! Look bank and see Paragraph ( ) now. What department of the government should l make laws? Yes, our Congress, the Legislative Branch. And what is t r Law of the Land? ie Yes, the Constitution! And that Constitution plainly states that all powers not specif­ ically given to the Federal Government in the Constitution shall be reserved to the States or t l people. The Constitution does not mention public schools. Public schoolE ie were created by the States and the people of those States. If it be the will of the State, it could separate the trovh-oyed children from the blue-eyed ones. The people of Virginia feel that a more efficient system of education results in separating the negro and white students. They base t decision on social as well as academic facts his and on moral principle. You, as a student at Stratford Junior High School, and your parents have been plac­ ed on a great battlefield— perhaps the greatest one our nation has ever faced. You are young, unarmed and no doubt unprepared t face this great issue,for the mere forcing o of four colored students into your large student body is hardly the issue. Your fathers and older brothers have fought in battles and shed blood in defense of the American government as it i set forth in the Constitution. Would you not be willing to sacri­ s fice a feu weeks of your education in a particular desk in a particular building while the great statesmen of Virginia devise a method which will return a balance of power to our government and reinstate that group of laws known as the Constitution s that o the government of the people, by the people and for the people will not perish from the earth? Please discuss these truths with your parents and ask them to let you do your part to preserve your Constitution, your race and your white culture by taking your books home and continuing your studies there until the emergency has passed.

Arl. County Board , from Jack Rathbone Daniel A Dugan "The Old Squire" 1021 North Jefferson St Arlington, Va. Dear Dan: I wish so much you had called me for an explanation before you went off the deep end, via the letters to the editor columns of the Northern Virginia Sun. Your letter was.generally good and presented the arguments one would expect from a person opposed to the "Massive Resistance" and other road blocks, erected by the best minds ** in our State, for use while the Supreme Court is on its "legislative binge," to prevent the for ced integration of the White and Negro public school pupils by Federal Bureaucrats or turncoat public school officials. It is regretable that you saw fit to inject the personal religion of our mutual good friend. Commonwealth Attorney, William J. Hassan, as I feel our personal religious practices and beliefs have no place in the sociological battle now being fought by the "One World" - "One Race" "One Religion" or is it no religion adherents under the command of tax exempt New York Corporations: N.A.A.C.P., Anti-Defamation league of B ’ni B'rith, UNESCO, NEA and every known communist and communist front organ ization conjured up by determined evil minds. When I philosophize thru the columns of the press on the wisdom of racially segregated public schools, I fully intend to stand up for my share of bricks and old dead cats hurled my way by the proponents of race mixing, but you should not drag innocent people or organizations into the act by your self assumed role of ’Protector of the Faith; Maligned Public Officials & Squirrely Race Mixing Barristers.’ I did not, as you (Dugan) so stated, imply, intimate or say"William J. Hassan is afraid to state his convictions relative to the questions of school integration" or make any reference to the private religious schools, operated by the Catholic Diocese of Virginia of which I am well aware of the fine education coming out of these schools and of the tax burden these and other private schools remove from the shoulders of Virginia Taxpayers by providing private education for a substantial num ber of Virginia pupils, at no cost to the Commonwealth. Mr Hassans "convictions" were not discussed in the press interview the old squire had with Mrs. Frances Lanahan, of the Sun, as they are a personal matter between Hassan and His Maker and not subject to audit or exploitation by Dugan et al. Bill Hassen does not need "Protector" Dugan to testify as to his dedication to the duties incumbent upon the Attorney for the Commonwealth or to the o&th of office to which Hassan freely subscribed and I would further point out to "Protector" Dan, that while Deep-Freezes, Pastel Minks, Vic^una Coats and Oriental Rugs are still being used by those wishing to conduct business with the Federal Establishment, under the eagle eye of Commonwealth Attorney Bill Hassan, it is not necessary to traffic in gold cuff links, 100 proof bourban, Television Sets, PinBall machines, 22 rifles or bare back mules as a prior consideration before doing business with the County of Arlington. �And Danny, when you start dishing out medals for Honor and courage, the old,squire would admonish you to re-cork the ju£ and start at the top of the list of Virginia Patriots, and your supply of medals will be well exhausted before you ever reach the name of Boothcor Campbell. When the old squire thinks of "Campbell", he thinks of beans and their by-products, but when the name "Boothtfcbobs up, I think of the great Continent of Africa, and how a "Booth® of 1865 denied Africa the glories of the repatriation of 10,000 emancipated American Negroes, as planned by Abraham Lincoln before Boothts bullet sent Honest Abe to his grave and left the South saddled with the care and education of these African decendents. These vociferous race mixers surely belong on some list, and so future generations might never forget Booth or Campbell, I have placed them in the #1 and #2 spots on the White Southerners - . --- list, where they are constantly in danger of being displaced by such courageous race mixers as Oliver Hill, Spottswood Robinson, Clarence Mitchel, Faith Bissel and Ross Allen Weston. Danny, old boy, next time you feel disposed to chide the old squire (or old square, as the Sun’s linotyper prefers) please get down off that horse as his gallop seems to be mixing your participles with your adjec tives and I really can’t tell -if you is or if you aint ’Ter us white folks. When >®ew M o d e m Socialological Authorities" under the spur of the N.A.A.C.P. can bomboozle and confuse the "great" minds of our Supreme? Court, its not unexpected that this "Confusion" could seize others, including yourself, so until the Supreme Court works itself out from under its "legislative spell" and the "Law of the Land" is again firmly reposed in our great Constitution, we’ll just have to bide our time, Danny boy, so let’s not lose our sence of humor or powers of preception and when the squirrly elements of the 10th District are chanting "Save our Schools" and "Preserve Our Schools" just sit back and have a good belly laugh, knowing full well, that in the jargon of the race mixers "Save" means Integrate and "Preserve" means Mongeralize and the white mothers and fathers of Virginia are well equipt, under glorious dedi cated leaders, to effectively repulse this wanton intrusion into the lives of our white sons and daughters. So shine up your cuff links, Danny boy, and chide away at the old squire to your hearts content. We’re receiving your signals, but cant make out what you are trying to say. Dictated from the back 40 by lour friend, p k s -tr-y f c_ "Squire" Jack Rathbon^* ** Non-Partisan: Now masqueraded as A.B.C.’s Best minds: Byrd, Stanley, Almond, Harrison, (no Bootb£.or Campbell) Glorious dedicated leaders: Our general assembly and state officials (’scusin many in the 10th District) P.S. Oh! I nearly forgot. About that invitation to tea. Congressman Powell advises "Chitterlings will be served on the patio at 3 P.M." Can you make it?

They say “all is fair in love and war and politics.” Then it is within their liberal ground rules to call the politicians, the publishers and the preach ers to the White House and flatter them by telling them how important they are, sell them on how “necessary” foreign aid is and enlist their efforts toward convincing you. It is not difficult to sell the foreign aid theory to a man of God. There are many quotations from from Scripture which clearly define the Christian’s responsibility to those less fortunate. EXPLOI T CLERGY Thus, the administration has secured impressive support from behind the pulpit. Thus,generous, well-meaning Americans are led to allow the spenders a blank check— with no further questions. A lifetime of unwavering respect for the clergy obligates me to offer certain evidence; I offer it in a spirit of humility and genuine anxiety. Foreign aid “in theory,” and as practiced, are not the same things. Foreign aid in theory is helping our brothers in the Christ-like concept of unselfishness. Foreign aid in practice is not so humanitarian. Former Ambassador Spruille Braden (who has seen foreign aid administered in foreign hands) has referred to it as “treasonous,” for it so often is used to strengthen the godless Communist enemies of all religions. Reverend, are you sure you want to submit another billion dollars to the Red dictator of Yugo slavia who locks the church doors? Are you sure you want to send more money to the French who use some of it to bomb and kill civilians in Tunisia? If you do, that is your choice. But know what you are doing! party,” it is an armed attempt to overthrow God! Communism is not a “political Don’ t let an invitation to the White House flatter and fluster you so that you throw your influence into a controversy which you have not thoroughly examined. Is it in the best interests of mankind for you to urge more money for Indonesia where, Secretary Dulles admits, “all-out Communist despotism is taking over" and bombing anti-Communists? Are you certain you want, in Poland, to pay tithe to Communism? That is where some of your foreign aid is going. I do not believe you intend our moral obligation to include strengthening God’s enemies. CHARI TY BEGI NS AT HOME Thus I have dared to ask that you withhold endorsement of “foreign aid,” per se, however the politicians seek to flatter your ego and brainwash your intellect and propagandize your pulpit. You men of God do not have to pay that high a price for an invitation to the White House. You will be here— and that for which you stand will prevail— long after the politicians ace dead and forgotten. They can afford to be wrong. You dare not. And if it is charity that you would have us administer, it is not unselfish to think'first of our own people. Indeed, I Timothy admonishes, “But if any provide not for his own,specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith and is worse than an infidel.” D IS T R IB U T E D BY DEFENDERS OF STATE SOVEREIGNTY AND INDIVIDUAL LIBERTIES 405— EAST FRANKLIN STREET A RICHMOND, VIRGINIA � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Individually, each had al ready been concerned over the Federal Government’s increasing encroachment on state sovereignty. But the M ay 17 edict was the proverbial last straw and they swung into action. On October 26, as a result of this, the Defenders of State Sovereignty and Individual Liberties was incorporated. Stressing their stand on state sover eignty, the charter members also em phasized that, far from holding any hatred for the Negro, they would work for the benefit of both races and that they were by no means advocating the abolition of education. Their creed is expressed in a brochure which was prepared towards their goal of a local chapter in every county and city.

C O M PU LSO R Y ( Dem enti Studio) ROBERT B. CRAWFORD The Defenders were not surprised at the implementing decision handed down by the Supreme Court, but they were amazed by the assurances of some of their own citizenry that there was all the time in the world to chart Virginia’s course. The “extreme” emergency, they believed, called for “extreme” action and, after time had further revealed the attitudes on both sides, they presented to the people of the Commonwealth A PLAN FOR VIRGINIA. Essentially, with their expressed fear of racial integration, their goal had been, from the beginning to edu cate the people of Virginia, white and colored, in the fundamental principles of the Federal government and the ultimate end of the Court’s edict. Now, they- set forth a constructive guide for their state. First of all, they recommended that the governor call a special session of the General Assembly before the middle of July so that amendments to the state constitution could be dealt with in the 1956 General Assembly. The emergency existed because after August 1, the constitution could not be amended by the procedure which gives the people a right to vote until 1958. Obviously, this means a delay of three school sessions. They called on the General As sembly to initiate procedures to amend Section 129 of the constitution to give itself expressly the power to adopt laws necessary for the welfare of the people in relation to the schools. They suggested an amendment to Sections 134 and 141 of Chapter IX of the constitution to remove any ED U CA TIO N O U T Recommending that all mention of compulsory education be taken out of our law, they also recommended that the General Assembly enact laws to prevent the expenditure of public monies, state and local, in support and maintenance of racially mixed public schools. The Defenders called upon public servants and aspirants to public serv ice to state their views openly and also to meet the responsibilities of leadership by giving advice to Vir ginians. They feel that the “Common wealth of Virginia has a right now to expect of every one of her sons and daughters who may have any proposal to make by which we can preserve our way of life, that he speak.” Their own proposals, the Defenders believe, do not mean death to the public schools. On the contrary, the only hope for public schools lies in their adoption. But the public school system, as we have known it, cannot be preserved. Only one of two public school systems can exist: an integrated public school system, which the people of Virginia will not accept, or a segregated public school system. This would not be segregated by law and state compulsion but by the good sense of the white and colored of the state. To attempt to compromise between the segregated school and the inte grated school is not to compromise. It is to accept the integrated school and no system of public schools not ap proved of by the people can exist. “If it be said that the NAACP will not consent to the maintenance of the separate school, but will excite some ill-advised Negroes to apply for ad mission to the white schools, and thereby cause the school to be closed, or that one of that . . . little group of white persons who fraternize with the NAACP will sacrifice his child by seeking his admission to the Negro school and thereby cause the school to lose, we admit that possibility. \ irginians do not choose, however, to be ruled by such elements. If that happens those schools will close. They will regret that the Negroes for whom they have done much will no longer receive their help, but that will Reprinted from August 1955 VIRGINIA RECORD �be at the wish of their leaders. We will care for our own and they will care as best they can for theirs, each assisted by the same help from public funds to the extent that help is sought and within the limits of available (Foster Studio) WILLIAM E. MAXEY, JR. funds. W e do not believe many schools will close before our Negro citizens, fine as most of them are, will see to it that their people throw off the leadership of these radicals who have done so much to destroy good race relations, and together we can put our educational system on a firm and lasting basis. If our belief in that respect be not sustained we will put other schools for our chil dren on a firm and lasting basis and let the Negroes do with theirs as they will.” W ith their goal of a local chapter for every city and county in the state, the Defenders now have 27 chapters. In 52 counties and cities, the mem bership is from six to eight thousand. The Defenders are proud of their leadership. Original directors are Valentine Southall, Amelia Court House; Charles T .

The flareup was highlighted by two women nearly coming to blows, official protests of the talks, approval by the S c h o o l Board chairman and a board mem1 ber who said she will seek a more thorough check on school speakers, j The speakers were Harry and : Bonaro Overstreet, now residing I in Falls Church. The Overstreets j admitted giving “help” to groups ; with Communist connections but say they did not know of Red connections and when they found out dropped the organizations. Board member Mrs. Helen S. Lane said she felt it was wrong for School Board Chairman L. Clark Keating to “pass off” the protest of the speakers. In an swer to .a protest early yester day Keatfhg called it “irresponsi ble.” She said she would discuss the issue of school speakers with other members of the board and if necessary will bring it up at a | public meeting. She suggested an I administration employe making some kind of check on future i speakers. The initial complaint was made j by the Parents Educational Re ; search Organization. Mrs. Richard Young. PERO president, said that i she learned the Overstreets were j to sneak at the Friday, morning | assembly on Thursday afternoon. ; The protest was lodged' Friday morning before the assembly. Mr. Keating and the Overstreets were critical of the protest coming at the last minute, both saying that there had been plenty of advance notice. Mrs. Young simply said i she hadn’t learned of the talks until late Thursday afternoon. The protest was: “PERO strong| ly protests Harry A. Overstreet as a speaker at Washington-Lee : High School. U. S. Government records show that Overstreet has been connected with organization's led by the Attorney Gen eral as subversive.

Mr. Overstreet said he had signed petitions for supposedly worthy causes sponsored by groups later listed as subversive. He stated that he signed the petitions un knowingly. In 1953 the Overstreets declared they had found out that their names were listed in the files of the House committee on un-Amer ican activities. They said they voluntarily went to the commit tee and presented a lengthy state ment on his connections, adding that they would also give the ! information at a public hearing j if necessary. | Mrs. Young said that before : she released any information to ! the press she had talked with ! Jerry G e r i c h, Washington-Lee j principal, who declined to stop : the Overstreets’ lecture on “Learn ing to Live With Ourselves.” She said that an attempt was made to roach School Superintendent T. Edward Rutter but that she under stood he was ill. Mrs. Overstreet called the inci dent an "old story" and that “some people just don’t like what we stand for.” Asked what some of those things were and she re plied that she and her husband are for United Nations and Fed eral aid for education. Asked if she believed in "one-world” gov ernment and she answered no. She said they belonged to the “World Federalists" but that that organization was not a “oneworld” group.

The pi'33ence of photographers or reporters in considerable numbers would create m unueual situation which, in itself, might cause curious crowds to gather and. thereby promote disturbances. By state law, as <iuotsd on the accompanying sheet, nay school in which Hegro pupils are ordered to bo admitted will be closed. Such schools, therefore, would bo under tho Juris­ diction of the Commonwealth of Virginia and not under control of the Arlington School Board,.
