Too, there should be some APP
propriate words from high Off
cialdom in recognition of a deed
we'll done.
It is not often that such fast
justice is administered in this
day an dage and in quarter so
crying for remedial action.
Legend has it that the Indians
of Robson County, of white and
Indian ancestry, with a dash Of
the Negriod, carry in their veins
driblets of the blood of Sir WAL
ter Raleigh's lost colony of Croa-
tan, of the new found land OF
Virginia" The colonials myster-
iously disappeared, and it has
been conjectured since that some
survivors wandered southerly in
to the wilderness and mingled
with the aborigines.
So strong was the legend that
the Indians of Robson County
refused after the Civil War to
be classified as free Negroes.
Claiming to be descendants of
early native tribes and white
settlers and forest rovers, they
would not attend Negro schools
or churches. Their persistent
claim finally won them a sepa-
rate legal existence as "Croatan
Indians and provision for sepa-
rate schools and privileges not
accorded by the dominant whites
to Negroes.
The Lumbees, of the Croatans.
whose features are predominant-
ly Indian, have shown to all
America that the time comes
when dastardly compulsion and
denial of personal liberty do
have to be accepted. They have
done the nation vast service
by proving with their courage
that none need be pushed around
by DULLES if the mettle to resist
is in the marrow and the bone.

Letters

Washington, DC.
Dear Mr.. East:
AS one who 20 or 80 years ago
was in much the same mental
state as that which you now in
habit, | would like to present a
slightly different view of some
of the points that you raise in
your column of January Is.
1t seems to me that you have
simply looked up at the noun
tain and tried to comprehend its
size and shape and content -
the far slopes, the color of the
flowers on the laurel trees, what
ores might be hidden inside the
earth without climbing the
mountain or getting close enough
to the trees to see them, or dig
ging into the hillside. I made
those same mistakes a long time
ago.
Now I would not presume to
! try to tell you what the soul is,
or to explain the nature of God,
or the details of Immortality, and
| do not assume to know any,
thing about theology. There are
a great many things that are
stressed and spoken about glibly
in our churches that do not make
much sense to me.
However, / have been studying
earnestly for quite a long time
to try to learn what reality there
is in some Of these things. 1t
began a long time ago when /
was drawn against my will,
kicking and screaming, into the
Lob of teaching a Sunday school
class. At that time, my beliefs
were pretty much in the same
shape as are yours. And | de-
termined not to say anything to
the class that | did not believe.
Through the years, I have had
to examine all of my beliefs -
study them, weigh them for
substance, lay them against the
findings of every authority |
could find I have dug through
Emerson, Plato, Socrates, Kier-
kegarde, William James, both of
the Niebuhrs, Fosdick, Will Du-
rant, Paine, Kant, Mencken,
Freud, dozens of others, looking
for the truth wherever / could
] find it. l have not looked for a
ldoctrinal presentation, but the
facts at any level and from any
source.
Have I found them? I am not
sure. I still am taking the evid-
ence where I find it, looking for
the truth. All of my life, that
has been my job. 1t is never
ending and exhilerating search.
In the field of religion, there
are certain things that impress
me as true.
My suggestion to you would
be: Do not leap to any qul k
conclusion. Don't let the glib,
know-it- all air of the ministers
fool you. And don't be too much
misled by the country-club at
mosphere. There is more to 1t
than meets the eye.
Take look at the beliefs of
man, for instance. This you can
find after you have tracked your
way through the Bible half a
dozen times with a Sund ~
school class.
At the outset, we find man
worshiping a tribal god. He was
a small, vengeful god who some
times did strange things. He diff
fered little from the gods Of
other people than the Hebrews,
gods that men carved out OF
wood and shaped from metal to
put UP in their temples.
Through the old Testament,

Herewith is brief account of the Indiar,.up

Of the Atlanta constitutional
Yes sir, you the 100-per-cent Americans
They can spot the pretenders to Americanism with
unfailing eye
Just the other night group of these 1oO-per-cent
Americans Lumbee or Croatan Indians chased the Ku
Klux pretenders Americanism into the swamps

the most hilarious and satisfying incidents of recent
months

burning it to advertise their meetings and attract the
suckers also exploits Americansn1 By paying neces-
sary sum fellow become 100per-cent American.
The Ku Kux mentality also prostitutes the Christian
igion by making the New and Old Testaments into

apply only to 1O0per-cent Americans excluding most
Professionals all Roman Catholics and Jews and colored
peoples To the Kuxer mentality the Christian

But their claim to 100-percent Arnercanism is their
major And is entertaining indeed to read that in
their first encounter with American Indians they fled in
panic The Indians concerned about encroachmen
on human rights = their rights
Flying Coattails
In this battle of the flying coattais the Khan leader
flung down his sacred banner.
Simeon Oxendine, son Of the mayor Of Pembroke,
community leader, commander OIL the veterans OF foIeSH
Wars who flew 80 bombing missions over Germany,
took the deserted Kuxer flag into Charlotte and walked
into the leading hotel lobby wearing it like scarf

fighting his country than all the Kuxers put together
ssAnd it will never fly America if can prevent"
To which every truly 1O0-per-cent American will
say amen"
There always is the yappng, sometimes snarllng,
fest-pack to cry "Naz Red at those who stand for
human rights and who persist in affirming that for Chris
tians the great has validity But history
moves on and history gives answers to them
The second chapter in this astonishing story OF In
dams on the warpath in the year 1858 is that the sheriff
of the county repeatedly will seek indictment against
the Kuxers for melting riot 1t they who pushed in
to the Indian domain against advice of the lawenforce-
ment officers and the fact the Indians fired into the air.
and not at the Kuxers, doesn't change the story.
Moment Of Laughter
But whatever happens the Lumbee Indians have
supplied moment of laughter to continuing story
which has somber if exciting They also have pro-
vided an example of fortnight and effective action a.
gainst ur-American mob action North Carolina will be
much healthier place. and the air will smell sweet be-
