today,
That, the powers and authority OF the Federal
Government should be strictly separated
and that domestic legislation by decree. jul
dical decision, treaty. executive fiat, Or adj
ministrative order is foreign to the Consti-
tuition and an encroachment on the inalien-
able powers and authority Of the several
states and the Congress OF the United States
of America
That, attempts to change the lawful manner
nores and traditions of any state of these
United States of America by any branch of
the Federal Government is an infringement
of the sovereignty of the states composing
this Union;
That, the right to determine segregation OF
the races is a power reserved to the states;
That those citizen composing this nation. who
believe in the principles cited above, are duty
bound in good conscience to employ every
lawful means to defend and perpetuate them,
to the end that this Republic may continue
and prosper.
1t is one thing to have a statement of pur-
pose and another to follow it. In the inter-
vening almost three years, this organiza-
ton has not deviated from its statement
Of principles. Its program has not pitted
race against race nor has there been any
action by its officers or its members to
antagonize other races. Racial indignation
Of public schools has been the burning Isl
sue. The Defenders of State Sovereignty
maintains that "the right to determine seq
regation of races is a power reserved to the
states"
The purpose nor the record of this or
ganization have not deviated from the de-
sire, intent, and determination to work for
the advancement Of all people, Nowhere
have. we read or in public addresses by
members Of this organization have we heard
inflammatory remarks about any race On
the contrary, speakers have been kind in
remarks about other races, and urged them
to cooperate with the Defenders Program
to save the republic, by defending the SOW
ereignty of the states and the liberties OF
the individuals.
AS the Investigations proceed, we be-
lieve the people Of this community and this
state should understand anew the purpose:
of this organization, the Defenders Of State
Sovereignty.

Letters To Editor
Appreciation For
Cultural Programs

Editor, The Farmville Herald
May I use few lines Of your
type to express a few thoughts
that come to me Just now after
attending a concert at Longwood
College? Like most Of the readers
Of these pages, / too have the urge
to bring to the attention of our
town and community few facts
which are easily overlooked as
we become victims" OF a fast
moving society.
This particular concert was
given by MI Walter Urben. one
of the piano teachers III the col
leges music department. Not be-
ing at all qualified to pose as a
music critic, I cannot say any
thing but works of praise for the
outstanding performance given by
this artist. He is a fine example
Of the talented musicians which
our town has been privileged to
hear and to have in its midst. Not
only is this true Of the music de
partment, but all through the
various departments Of the college
can be found personnel Of the
highest calibre
I could not help but wonder to-
night whether we. as town that
prides itself in its efforts to pro-
mote those things Of cultural ma
ture, have not failed in some de-
gree to avail ourselves of this very
fine opportunity to enrich our
lives through the hearing of some
of the worlds best music artisti-
cally performed? Dc we take adj
vantage Of all the various presen-
tations Of the college that can do
SO much for us, and also for tie
college, which needs and appre
ciates the towns support? The
small but enthusiastic audience
can testify that tonights concert
by MI. Urben was truly the pro-
duct Of many years effort and
many hours of practice It was
music played for the purpose Of
inspiring its hearers and making
them aware that there is beauty
and harmony in the great works
Of music music that is capable
Of lifting our thoughts from our
selves and creating in us an APP
probation for those finer things
The Farmville herald and farmer-leader. (Farmville, Va.) 1934-1957, 1957-03-19

Of life. Realizing this. then, one
would expect much larger ex-
preston of our appreciation for
the worthwhile performances that
from time to time are given by
the college and other outside art
lists.
Could our community not sup
port with their presence the many
programs which are made avail
able to us through the courtesy Of
the college? Surely we would miss
this opportunity should it be de-
MED US, and we should do all in
our power to encourage our youth
to attend some of the programs
Of the college. An understanding
and appreciation of the Arts is
basic to a Well-rounded education
With SO much emphasis placed
these days on music and other
forms of entertainment of lesser
value, we should welcome the OPP
portunity to attend these college
Programs our town and our eoll>a. viii
both benefit if we as its citizens
will avail ourselves Of this fine
program III the future Let lis
striver to show the college our
thanks in a very real way for the
wonderful influence that it has
been and will always be in our
community,
Sincerely.

Investigating Organizations

Y LEGISLATURES, particularly in III e
IL South, have set up number Of inVestl-
eating committees to ferret out the facts
on organizations active in race relations. A
half a dozen such organizations in Virginia
have been included. The National Associa-
ton for the Advancement Of Colored Peo-
Die, the Virginia League the Defenders OF
State Sovereignty, the White Citizens Coun-
ellis, and the Seaboard Citizens Councils.
There are others which we presume will
be asked for information, particularly the
Council on Human Relations.
Ii might be we'll to review the aims and
purposes Of the Defenders Of State SoVer-
eighty. We know more about this organiZa-
ton than any of the others. Its membership
includes good citizens, who have played a
large part in developing Virginia, its com
MERGE business, manufacturing, churches,
schools and community progress. Many OF
its members had been concerned for years
at the socialistic trends Of government, but
it took an occasion to bring them together
to defend State sovereignty and the FEEDER
al Constitution This occasion, unhappily,
was the L. ,. supreme court decision
which palpably usurped powers clearly re
served by the several states.
The purpose Of the organization is clear
~ set out in its statement Of purpose,
adopted in late summer of 1854.
This statement reads:
WE BELIEVE
That the Constitution establishing a Republic
OF the Several States of America gave certain
enumerated powers to the Federal Govern
ment and expressly reserved the remainder
Of the powers to the several states;
That the clauses delegatng authority to the
Federal Government should be strictly con-
stlued, and always against the extension of
Federal powers and IN favor Of the states
which compose this Union:
That. each state can best protect the rights and
provide for the well-being of the citizens
within its jurisdiction;
That. government of one or several of the in
dyidua states by the whole is contra to the
letter and spirit Of the Constitution Of the
United States of America;
That, private enterprise by free individuals
IS The cornerstone Of our Republic;
That, concentration Of power is one Of the
greatest internal dangers facing this nation
