the whole civil-rightS program
is based upon "the American
principle of equality"
Wherever we go and what
ever we read we encounter re-
peatedly the same statement
that America was founded
upon the proposition that "all
men are equal" Many claim
that the doctrine of human
equality is in the Declara-
ton of Independence. Some
say in the Constitution. Some
say in the Bill of Rights. 9th
ers say in the Bible"
Those who propagate false
hood are ashamed to admit
where it came from, so they
lie as to it's source. Human
equality is to be found in
neither Of the above. It can
be found in DaS Kapital,
which is the Bible of Com
muniSn. All Communistic
front organizations in Amer
lea propagate the doctrine
that all men are equal. The
, US, Supreme Court has been
brainwashed with that brush.
1t has been found in decisions
OF the Court and in magazine
articles written by several in
dividual judges"
The solid South solon quotes
Thurgood Marshall in part in
a speech at Columbia Univer-
sity, January 9, 1855. 1.-The
initial blueprint was to force
equality on the separate but
equal doctrine of Plessey v.
Ferguson. Realizing the in
effectiveness of this approach,
NAACP decided on the con-
cept of social science, of find
ing a basis on which it could
meet the law in order to sat
iSfy the court. The harming
influence is the segregation
acting on the young child'S
mind which impedes his edu-
cation and throws him behind
his white contemporaries. The
result, re. education, was
Brown v. Board of Education.
This is the blueprint" of
the NAACP to brainwaSh the
Court with "the concept of
social science" as "a basis on
which it could meet the law
in order to satisfy the Court. I"
The concept of social sci
ence" to which Marshall re-
ferred was the bogus concept
that "all men are equal" That
all men are born to equal

JOHN KASPER, the "cele-
brated" segregationist, has
been denounced by the South
ern Diyiecrats following the
sensational disclosure that
Kasper once enjoyed mixing
and dancing with colored Wo-
men in the North where John
started his career as a shop
keeper in New York. Accord
ing to a national news release
Kasper is being judged a
'fbetrayer" of Jim crow advo-
Gates. He has been fooling
the Dixiecrats and stealing
headlines for his own profit.
TOO MANY other leading

in the past have preached Sc

only difference is that Kasper

list was not above enjoying the
company of colored women
Nor were the vast majority of
shareholders and their pre-

who have admitted the fact.
THE HYPOCRISY of Dixie
crat leaders in denouncing
John Kasper for an every day
"Secret policy" of the south
land provides added proof
that the entire Dixie segrega-
ton philosophy is a doctrine
Of pure sham. If Kasper
danced with colored girls, the
Dixiecrats were often raised
from babyhood by colored wo-
men they regarded as moth
erS. How close can you get?
T'he Dixiecrat has mixed as
closely with colored as is pos
sible on this Earth.
A BOOK could be written
on the "colored relatives" of
many a Southern leader in
Guiding Washington and JEFF
ferson. The Nation would be
amazed to know how many
DixiecratS, including Congress
men, either had colored blood
or colored relatives, or both.

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
By WILLIAM MORRIS

Heres q dandy word. one
that think may stump you. "
writes an old Washington
friend. 81 ran across it in an
article about methods being
employed in the construction of
a new building on New York's
Park avenue. Referring to the
need for having q completely
solid base for the structure
which must Withstand the vi
bration of hundreds of pas
senger trains passing through
the tunnel each day-the piece
said in the case Of a faulted
rock. the fault might be cleaned
out and grouted.'
What on EARTH" he con-
tinues, lis 'grouting'? Seems
to me that such an unusual
word should be defined or re-
placed by a simpler one in a
story designed for the layman.
But. If you'll answer my ques-
ton. I'll cease my grousing
about grouting. Thanks"
You're right, old boy. Such
an unfamiliar word ought to
be more clearly explained in
anything short of a technical
article. The procedure is not
really too involved. After the
fault in the rock has been
cleaned out, a mixture of con-
crete and, perhaps, stones and
other reinforcing materials is
poured into the fault and left
to harden. The substance

clear?
The origins Of BOBBY hatch
and looney bin for insane
asylums are the subject of an
inquiry from Oakland. Calf.
The first is a fairly obvious
coinage from '1oony," a dialect
form of "lunatic," and bin" a
place where objects are slowed
away.
The second phrase "booby
hatch" is a trifle more difficult
to trace, though the word
BOBBY" meaning a slow-witted
dolt. has long been part of our
language. During the 10Th CEN
fury "booby hatch" was COM
monty used aboard sailing YES
sells to designate the hatch
leading to the forepeak of the
vessel. Quite probably this hatch
was used for the confinement
of deranged sailors. Thus the
forepeak hatch became tn e
"booby hatch" and, by extern
sion, now means any kind Of
insane asylum.

was taken with dummy's king.
Mr.. Champion came to his
hand with the ace Of hearts,
led a small spade and messed
dummy's nine. He cashed the

this point. But he came

He ruffed dummy's last dia-

the king of clubs. Now every
body was down to two cards.
Mr.. Champion had J-10 of

the Army Engineers during the
1858 fiscal year starting July 1.
In a letter to House Speaker
Rayburn, the President said that
savings from favorable contract

contracts indicated that re-
quirements for appropriations to
carry on the civil functions of
the Army Department in this
field could be reduced.
His revised estimate was sent

BY ]. A. O'LEARY

The Senate met at 10 am,
two hours earlier than usual, in
hope of passing today a Is
month extension of existing cor
Iporation and excise taxes.
The Senate is expected to fol-
low the lead of it's Finance Com
mlttee in rejecting a variety of
amendments to relieve selected
groups of taxpayers.
The leaders will argue that
any substantial change would
throw the bill into conference
with the House and prevent its
passage this week. Unless the
bill reaches the President by
Saturday. excise rates on alco-
holic beverages, tobacco and
automobiles would drop Monday
morning. with substantial loss
to the Treasury.
Without this bill the overall
corporation tax rate also would
drop from So to AZ per cent, but
these taxes are paid on an an
nual basis, and would not be
seriously affected by failure to
meet the April ! deadline.
Two Major Battles
There will be two major bat
ties over the bill in the Senate
One would cut taxes on small
corporations, the other would
raise taxes on oil companies.
To aid small corporations. SEN
ator Fulbright. Democrat of
Arkansas. is proposing to lower
the tax on the first $4,000 of
income from 80 to % per cent,
and raise the surtax on income
above that level from % to 81
per cent.
Thus, the big corporations
would pay an overall rate of SO
per cent. more than making up
for the reduction to small COR
poratiCns.
Seek Oil Tax Rise
In opposing this amendment
Chairman Byrd OF the Finance
Committee said it would be un-
fair to most small businessmen,
because IS per cent of them
operate as individuals or part
nerships. rather than corpora
tons.

lican OF Delaware, and Douglas.
