Show Of Strength Becomes
Show of Weakness
|. 5. Taylor, Associate Editor

A demonstration of strength sometimes becomes a demon
straon of weakness. movement shows strength when
get followers If it does get lot of men be-
hind it, then it does show lot of strength
The denuneaton of the Supreme Court decision as
Judicial encroachment that nearly hun
concerned is demonstration of weakness II
fell being demonstration of southern solidarity
One from Florida, three men from North Carolina,
and from the great state OF
Texas did sign the denuncaton The names of Lyndon
B. Johnson Sam Rabun. national figures, and both oil
Texas included in the list of sgnatores These TWO
southemers. vice presidential presidential possibilities
could have added TO their stature if they had signed
So the "solid south" shrinks from II states TO T. More
Tennessee failed TO sign the denuneaon than
signed Those from Texas who did sign three times
those who signed Only five signed While IL
did not sign from Texas.
The denuneiation had the effect of revealing to the
increasing number of southeners with the courage To
sentiments of Amercansm regardless of pressures to
the contrary Statements made by who refused TO sign
encouraging those who still look the statue OF
Liberty the symbol of the land d. b. Faseel OF Florida
said, In opinion IL is announcement of the Supreme
Court which is cornerstone of American government,
1humond Chatham of North Carolina said 1--WE been raised
believe the Supreme Court is the final law of the land
Charles B. Deane North Carolina said "A partic
together There solution TO all problems 1t is not
who Is right but ultimately what is right" Estes Keauyer,
In the public leading candidate for Democratic nomi
nation for president, said. II don't believe In it."
With these statements the demonstration Of strength be-
demonstration Of weakness the demonstration of unity
becomes demonstration of division the demonstration of
subservence of southern leaders raeeate becomes dem
onstraon Of increasing independence and Amecansm
southern leaders. The future grows brighter.
