to the Government Operations

In the event that the assign

Letters ToEditor
From Harry Byrd
To Harry Hopkins

Editor, The Herald:
Virginia S grav mistake
since she permitted the first
Yankee Carpetbagger to land
the first African slave on her
soil has been perpetrated by the
recent General Assembly ses-
sion. She has abandoned t h e
fiscal sanity of Harry Byrd for
the tax-spend-elect practices Of
Harry Hopkins while surrender
ing control of government and
accepting control by govern
ment.
True, the Almond Carpetbag-
gers did not gain their sales
tax objective with its horde of
Almond-appointed tax collec-
tors and kickbacks to communi-
ties; but this will come later.
Delegate Mann of Arlington be-
lleveS enactment will come at
a special session, despite lack
of necessity for it.
We have gaily abandoned our
unique and envied position as a
tower OF fiscal strength in a sea
OF bankruptcy and misery. Ig-
noring the horrible examples of
Michigan and nearly every other
state In the Union, we are about
to partake of confiscatory tax

ing, Eminent Domain govern
ment seizure and resale of pri-
vate property and greater re-
wards for Incidence and impro-
violence will be saddled upon
our people by the Almond Car
| petbaggers.
There will, of course. be
greater demands for Federal
funds, despite the fact that these
are merely local funds fro m
which a handling charge has
been deducted by Washington
And with Federal funds will
come Federal control and the
usual provision about race,
creed, and origin This, urdoubt-
edly, was one of the compelling
reasons behind Gov. Almond S
suplne surrender on the ques-
ton of Indignation; certainly it
gained him the support of every
racial crackpot in Virginia. To
retain that support, he m Il s
continue to favor racial homog-
enization.
This will not save Gov. Al
mond, who is not truly rcpresen-
tative of his following but liber-
al only for expcdicncy's sake.
Once the Carpetbaggers have es-
tablished their position firm
ly they will replace the con
fused Governor with one of their
kind. Then a sadder but wiser
J. Lindsay Almond will retire to
the hustings to ponder. among
his shattered political dreams
the Inconsistency of man.
The evil thing he has created.
however, will live on and thrive
unless our people awaken from
their lethargy and discard those
members Of the General AS
sembly who have so far forgot
ten their loyalty to Virginia as
to sell us out to a morally bank
rupt North. Let us not forget
that our salvation is i'll our own
hearts and at the polls. And let
us never be ashamed of patriot
ism. racial pride and collective
honor.

THIS CAN BEST be done
by seeing that there are citi-
zens committees nationally,

Speakers on the question Of

avoided putting exclusive
blame for youth problems on
the media. They generally
agreed, however, that one way
or another the media do
strongly influence children.
One of the strongest indict-
ments was voiced by New
York City Commissioner of
Youth Services Ralph W. Whe-
Ian, who complained: Every
where, in newspapers, maya
zines, radio, television and
movies, patriotism and sound
and constructive moral and

On the other hand, DR.. Leo

the recommendations which
they adopted were the fol-
lowing:

sis upon sex and crime, and

Steps to strengthen the

"A special area of emphasis

helping the family. Among
them were the following:
u That the minimum wage
be raised 10 S1.25 per hour,
