And the process is only just
begun!
SOUTH CAROLINA'S STROM
THURMOND. immortal for
brave and dignified leadership
of the Southern revolt of l94S
which has led to the national
revolt and is still in progress
and has turned into a revoM-
ton against centralism, social
ism and one worldism. warns
against letting a certain high
court make its own laws as
well as decisions without re-
gard. to national and state con-
situations and the laws made
pursuant to them
He is talking about the World
Court but he might be talking
about the Supreme Court. His
speech would be good against
either. The problem of a court
without authority is apparent.
but we've had enough trouble
with a laW-making Supreme
Court never to endure the worse
trouble of a law-making World
Court.
ION THE SPOT BUT not be-
hind the eight ball
That may be where lIerman
Talnadge is.
The spot may be the only say
ing one for the South and ma
ton if he can be persuaded
Georgia S failure ever to desert
the national ticket is nothing to
brag about. His misplaced pride
in that could be all that holds
him from manifest destiny.
FAMOUS ARTHUR KROCK,
Of The New York Times, who
sees the South as frustrated now
writes that Senator Talmadge s
sectional colleagues have receiv-
d listlessly" his proposal fol
independent electoral states ir
he South. 1t could be that the
colleagues are more listless thar
the voters. 1t could be, too, thai
he liStlessness is because the
colleagues understand the Sena
tor as proposing electors indie
pendent enough only to vote
against the Democratic nominee
not enough to vote for the Re
publican, and that the colleagues
themselves think only of this
as is Arthur Krock when he
doubts that Southern detection
would take away enough electors
from the Democratic ticket tt
defeat it or to throw the cleo
ton into the House.
From where l stand polls in
dictate a close enough election
to let detecting" Southerners
throw it into the House wit /
ease. But if they have the cour
age and imagination not only tt
"defect" but to vote for the
Republican, their detection i.
doubled and should defeat the
Democratic nominee on the spo
with no reliance on deadlock
ing and the House.
In this bold course inconceiv
able to Senator Talmadge-
not because he isn't bold bu
because he is sentimental abou
Georgia's Democratic loyal
ty"? Or because he can
i m CINE Richard Nixon co
operating with Southerners fo
mutual benefits as Republican!
do constantly in Congress ant
as Southern voters have don.
in the last two Presidential
elections?
Talmadge leading Southern
Democratic electors free only t,
go fishing or vote a futile thir,
against which both parties Woul,
gang up as "segregatibnis
conspirators' if the election
were thrown into the House
would deserve his "listless" re
ception. But Talmadge leading
free electors who mean busi
ness, who will have the. CUTS t
vote for Nixon in. the -electora
college if need be, and cleo
him right there and have hin
and his party beholden thrOugl

As for that old warning of los
chairmanships and seniorities il
Congress W h C h Mr.. Krocl
reSurrects, the Democratic ma
| jority wouldn't dare. If it dit
it wouldn't be a Democratic ma
jority anymore.
Revolutionary as this sound
it is a better revolution from
the South's point of view thai
getting NOWHERE on third t'c'-
with nobody loving it, and fac
