rest Of the world as a Nation
that processes democracy,
such brazen coercion and sub
version of the law of this
country must reflect seriously
on our integrity.
We have winked too long at
the caste system in this coun-
try. which clearly amounts to
deprivation without due proc
eSS of law in violation of the
Fifth Amendment to the Con-
stitution. With intent, it i'm
poses a badge of inferiority on
a segment of our population.
Its purpose is to keep this
segment inferior and subor-
dinated. Its devices range
from cold blooded murder
with good conscience, lynch
ings and mob violence-at one
extreme = through intimida-
ton and exploitation by legal
enactment and extra illegal use
of courts and police to vicious
artificial pageantry. customs
and etiquette as means of con-
troll; these devices are perpet-
uated by systems of patterns,
traditions, symbols, stereo-
typed attitudes. etc. From
early childhood. one learns to
accept and use these devices
in the same manner as one
learns the accent Or etiquette
of ones parents and play
mates. The South especially
is SO thoroughly indoctrinated
with the caste system that it
is generally impervious to the
humanitarianism and good
sense embraced in the court
ruling on desegregation.
Mana thinking product of
nature-changes and controls
nature to serve his best ends
by means of techniques and
tools. The scientific method
OF research by which human
problems can be resolved is
mans main technique in adj
vancing the human estate.
II the South would employ
this technique-instead of TAX
ing it for granted that the
court is constituted Of Marxist
theoreticians-it could APP
praise with correct criteria the
courts ruling, which gives
primacy to one of the main
fallacies in our social system.
Carefully and purpoSefully
weighing the evidence, the ra-
tional calculations or hypo-
thetical consequences stem
ming from the evidence and
the reasoning behind the rul-
ing would reveal that truth
cannot be cornered and mo-
nopolized. that segregation is
itself discriminatory and in
furious. that exploiters will
not be able to live and rule
in their accustomed way in
the coming stage of our civili-
cation, and that free enterprise,
private property, religion, fam
lily and other basic institutions
and traditions cannot be the
same in the next sequence of
our historical development.
The South must be led to
build its faith on a better and
Surer foundation. Desegrega-
ton of schools is a step in this
direction, for it will remove
a mischievous doctrine that
has remained in force much
too long. Unfair and separate
opportunities of improving the
natural capacities Of any seq
ment of the population is
wasteful and unhealthful in a
democracy. They foster preiu-
dice and prevent mutual ac-
quaintance and propinquity.
Mutual acquaintance elimi-
mates differences; and. in thus
eliminating the seeds of ma
tional crisis. it eliminates an
effective tool for the Commu-
mist purpose for this country.

Stossen's Tactics

LII llle plSCC dUUub 1dIOlu
Stassen in The Star of July
80, there is the statement that
Mr.. Stassen has followed the
examples of John Paul Jones,
II have not vet begun to
fight" and Gen. William T.
Sherman, who definitely re-
fused to become a candidate
for the presidency.
Mr.. Stassen apparently for
got another shining example
of Americanism, which he
could well have followed.
When the Southern States
began to secede. many Regular
Army officers cast their lots
with their native States. One
of the first was Pierre Gus
tave Toutant Beauregard. who
resigned his commission as an
officer in the United States
Army, was commissioned a
brigadier general and given
command of the gathering
forces at Charleston, S. C.
Here he refused to assume
command. and to take any &C
ton against the Union troops.
until his resignation was
formally accepted by the
United States. This was an I'M
usual situation, for most of
the officers rendered resigna-
tons. but accepted new South
ern commissions and active
duty before their designations
were accepted.
Thus. Harold Stassen is fol-
lowing the example of Col.
Robert E. Lee and many other
Federal officers, in not hav-
ing a complete severance from
his Government position, be-
fore starting an attack against
his own people, in this case
the administration, in which
he holds a commission. Per-
hapS he will change his mind
and make the older Repub-
licans, like myself. once more
give him a measure of re-
spect. which we now withhold.
Charles Coulter.

Never in the history of
America has there been a
younger or more active, as
we'll as a real good will am
bassador than Vice President
Richard Nixon, and if the
Republican Party doesn't give
him a better than even chance
to return, then not only will
the Republican Party lose the
next election, but will be dead
as a dodo bird for many years
to come.
I refute the statement Of
Harold Stassen that there are
a million people in America
who would vote against an
INSTRUMENTATION slate. Stas-
sen is just as wrong as he was
when he ran for President.
Gov. Herter is a good man
but he would not make an
active Vice President or a good
one. for his experience is mil"
In the event of, and l pray it
never happens. a need Tor the
Vice President to take over the
presidency. no man in Amer
lea is better qualified to take
up the reins of Government
than that young man who has
so ably filled the Office of Vice
President for the past four
years.
