REPUBLICAN, REVIVAL
South's Conservatives
Are Attractive Torqets

Carolina. where two former
Democratic State legislators
have taken over the reins of
the Republican Party in
Charleston.
TwO-Party System Needed
This growth seems certain to
continue, because Republican
strength is concentrated in the
cities, which are growing faster
in the South than in any other
part of the country.
For the moment, this con-
centration of strength in ur-
ban areas is a disadvantage to
the Republicans, because elec-
ton and representation cut the
power of the cities as ruthlessly
in the South as in any part of
the country. But if the Su-
preme Court rules against NAL
apportionment in the pending
Tennessee case, the first bene-
ficiaries in the South will be
the Republicans.
Also helping the G. o. P. is
the South's growing awareness
Of the advantages of a two
party system. An editorial in
the liberal Democratic Atlanta
Constitution welcomed the Re-
publican conference as a sign
of the party's increasing
vigor."
Regardless of party affilia-
ton or loyaltieS," it said,
thoughtful citizens long have
recognized that Georgia needs
a two-party system. :"
Control Of Southern Repu5-
licanism is passing into the
hands of a new generation of
leaders. Unlike their predeces-
sors, the new men are serious
about winning local elections.
Growing Democratic Split
They are busily maneuvering
their party into position to fill
the growing gap between the
body of conservative opinion in
the South and national Demo-
cratic policies.
AS University of Alabama
Prof. Donald S. Strong said in
his book, Urban Republican
ism in the South" there is
an ever-increasing number of
prosperous Southern urbanites
who are reacting as unfavorably
to the economic policies of the
Democratic Party as do their
counterparts in Northern
cities"
This cleavage has apparently
Sharpened since January. Writ
D. Yerger, jr., the G. o. P.
chairman in Mississippi, said in
an interview, THE most sig
nificant event for the growth
of the Republican Party in the
South was the election of John
Kennedy last November. The
Kennedy administration has
given the people who said there
was no difference between the
parties new look at the differ
ences that do exist in both
domestic and foreign policy"
Chairman Bob Wilson Of the
G. o. P. Congressional Cam
paign Committee predicted his
party would gain at least eight
House seats in the South next
year because these conserva-

If they follow this logic. the
Republicans would have to
abandon the strategy that has
prevailed at every national
convention since 1910. But If
the party continues to make
gains in the South, it is per-
fectly clear that the arguments

quito on the hide of a donkey
AS the Republican National
Committee said in its study OF
the 1860 election results: "Ar
elected Republican official ir
the South is still a rarity"
In the IL States represented al
the weekend regional G. o. P
conference here, Republicans in
1860 elected or kept in office
no Governors, only two Sena-
tors, eight Representatives and
S8 of 1888 State legislators
Their presidential candidate
won only 43 of the regions 1873
electoral votes.
Organization Handicap
Even now. delegates to the
conference conceded, none of
the II States can boast a Re-
publican Party with function
ing units in every county.
Partly because of this or
ganizational weakness, the Re-
publicans lack sufficient num-
bers of good candidates. In
1860, there were 69-Southern
congressional districts where
they entered no one at all. For
weeks, the Georgia G. o. P. has
been engaged in a futile search
for someone of sufficient stat
ure to send into the guberna-
torial race.
Even when the Republicans
do find candidates, their men
frequently shun the party label,
preferring to run as "independ-
entS" or conservatives"
Despite all that the strength
of the Republicans in the South
cannot be dismissed nor can
their potential for growth be
ignored. In losing Dixie in 1860,
former Vice President Nixon
received 48 per cent of its pop
ular vote. Since then Republi-
cans have won a Senate seat in
Texas, elected their first local
officeholder in Atlanta and
Mobile. and picked up seven
more seats in the Kentucky
legislature.
Last month, they won their
first seat in the South Caro-
lima legislature. And just last
Saturday. while the regional
conference was in session, 81
year-old Kenneth Kohler ot
Amarillo won a special election
and became the leader of the
one-man Republican minority

Letters From Rome

Monday, May Is, is the anniversary of two of the
greatest papal encycicals.
On May Is, 1891 Pope Leo XIII issued his en-
cyclical "Rerum Novarum" which discussed the COndi-
ton Of Labor. The Holy Father was we'll aware of the
worldwide millions of over-burdened men, frail wo.
men. and stunted children who toiled in unsafe
shops from Sun-up TO shutdown at low wages only to
return home at night to meager meals and unSanitary
Slums.
IN HIS LETTER HE deplored these evils, out
lined the rights and duties of employers and EN-
ployees, the legitimate powers of governments, the
shortcomings Of socialism, and offered a sound philo-
sophy of Christian social justice.
The world did not accept all that the message
contained but the impact of this pioneer statement Of
principles was felt none the less.
IN 1919 THE BISHOPS of the us. drew up a
program of social detectives based upon the Leonine
e~ncycIical; u Minimum wage legislation. y Insurance
against old age, disability, sickness, and unemployment,
81 Minimum age of l6 for work. ~ Legal right of labor
Board. 81 Continuation of National War Labor Board,
81 National Employment Service, u Public
housing for working classes. 81 Continuation and in
crease of wartime wages, 81 Limitation of excessive
profits and incomes by government, l0l Participation
OF labor in management through cooperatives and
worker ownership, ~ Effective control of monopoIies.
All of these recommendations except the tenth
have been enacted into permanent legislation by the
Congress or state legislatures.
THIS CAME ABOUT through application of
"Rerum Novarum's" principles and through the ring
ing affirmation of this Magma Charta of Social justice
by Pope Plus XI in his monumental e~ncyclicaI Quad
ragesimo Ammo issued May Is, 1881. II was a call
for the Reconstruction of the Social Order. Plus XI
went further than Leo in his recommendations in
light of the history Of social and economic progress.
Many of the things we take for granted today
can he traced to the Influence of these documents. But
social justice is still wanting in many parts of the
world and many areas of life at home.
AND THAT IS WHERE our laymen and women
must assume their proper role. Plus XII, of happy
memory, constantly referred TO the two great social

The film is, we might say, a
superior type of social docu-

FELINE HAS STRUNG to-
gether the juiciest scandals
of the last four years in Rome
but there is no continuity
among them. AS a result there
is no plot to the story. Nor
is there any character in
whom we can become genu-
inely interested. Fellini does
not develop character. That
is not his style. The brash
young journalist who has the
lead in the movie is debuach-
ed at the beginning of the
picture and the rest of the
story is just more of the
same.
Fellini is the combination
preacher and sociologist de-
nouncing the whole mad nest
of gigolos, prostitutes, bored
aristocrats, disillusioned in
tellectuals, money-mad photo
graphers and lecherous movie
stars. All these clinical cases
are presented without any
real attempt to tighten the
atmosphere with a touch Of
humor. Fellini is supposed to
have a deliciously sardonic

Editor.
Your G d ri a Of
March 10 in the Catholic
Times was very good i'll
many respects. Certain
ly no one could have any
argument with the promotion
Of Christian attitude.
HOWEVER, CHRISTIAN at
titudc cannot be legislated.
This realization by true Amer
leans is long over due. When
Christian attitude is legislated
il is no longer Christian, but
becomes socialism in the lit
eral sense OF the term; and
creates its own enemy, d So
ciallstlc government which
thirstS more and more for
the Revenue and power an
enforced Christian attitude
type government could de
mand.
This nation, under the in
fluence Of socialists and com
munists, has continually al
lowed the enactment of social
legislation, while the Supreme
Court continually frees the
enemies of God and our coun-
try.
THE SEVENTH paragraph
of the above mentioned edi-
torlal is contradictory in a
practical sense. There is lit
tie difference in the function
of government and business
when the government extends
its authority and controls the
economic field, or owns the
business and allows the pe0-
pie to operate the businesses.
Either way be are under di-

In the last two releases
of this column we dis
cuSsed the teaching of
the encyclicalS Rerum
Novarum and Quadrage-
simo Ammo on legislation and
organization as partial means
of socio-economic reform.
Continuing this discussion,
We may conclude, in sum-
mary, that these two types of
DISQUALIFICATION and or
ganization, in including, of
course, the organization of
farmers. employers and pro-
fessional people - are aimed
at implementing what might
be called the central prin-
ciple of the two encyclicals.
THIS CENTRAL principle
is that ownership and work
are both individual and social
in character and therefore
must be made to serve the in
terestS not only of individuals
but of society as well.
Legislation and Organiza-
ton have done much to bring
about this necessary balance
between the individual and So
cial aspects of economic life,
but they are not the final
answer. They are-or should
be-merely steps in the right
direction.

course, is represented with
roses because of her mention
of letting fall a shower of
roses after her death. Other
emhlemS are common to GER
tain classes of people e.g.

list and his hymns and other
writings about the Sacra-
ment.

such things exist?

hundred instances are record
ed in history of stigmatics
and more than fifty such per-
sons have been canonized.
In three cases the Church has
given recognition of the stig-
mata: st. Francis of Assist,
ST. Teresa of Avila and St.
Catherine of Siena. The stig-
mata do not necessarily indi-
cate that the person is a saint.
We should take the attitude
of the Church toward ell ex-

for spiritual fruits of the
