The Communist party in this

ly anyone opposing it who is
discomfitted by Supreme Court
decisions. Now the shoe is on
the other foot; the claw of the

as they are wont to declare
Now that the Subversive Acti-
vities Control Act, after II
years of legal delays of one
kind or another, has been vail
dated by the high court, will
they observe the law?
Their patriotism. of course,
hardly extends this far. Gus
Hall, the Communist Party
chairman, is reported to have
said that he will not obey the
law and that he and his COM
rades will go to jail before they
will reveal who belongs to the
Party. Three times previously
the Party has defied the United
States government and through
II years has been able legally
to stave off compliance with
the law. Now that the Court
has finally acted, the Party has
again filed a petition for an
other hearing, with the result
that enforcement has been post
poned at least until after Octo-
Der.
If the Party should eventual
ly go underground it may be-
come difficult to recognize ap-
plicants for government posi-
tions who are Communists. In
anv event, trailing the Commu-
nists will be an increasing prob

replaced it with fear and suspicion, most
OF it gfoundiess when weighed in the light
of truth and fact.
There are many organizations in this
great land of ours, some OF the worst
of them operating right here in Missis-
sippi, whose sole purpose seems to be
sowing seeds of fear, suspicion and dis
trust among Americans - and they are
doing more to hurt America and the cause
of democracy and freedom than any
Communists who ever lived
In this connection and only last week

sociation, Whitney N. Seymour, comment
ed on the current contest sponsored by
the John Birch Society to get young stu
dents to write essays on why the Chief
Justice earl Warren) of the U. S. Su-
preme Court should be impeached.
Mr.. Seymour said every decision of
every court should be subject to the most
searching debate and dissent by any,
body - and with this we heartily agree.
This is part of our heritage of freedom.
But at the same time Mr.. Seymour
said this contest sponsored by the John
Birch Society for students is mot legiti-
mate criticism and calls attention to the
fact that the students are not invited to
examine the grounds "for and against
Impeachment but only "for" impeachment
The President of the American Bar
Association said mo responsible person

criticism of Supreme Court decisions. His
words exactly:
''The ignorant, by false implications
of misconduct, are led into disrespect for
our institutions which maintain liberty
under law, and thus for all law. Let us
leave such attacks to the Communists
who hate our institutions. Our duty is
to uphold and defend liberty and the
independent courts which are essential to
maintain it,
We have Travelled long way on the
road toward downgrading America -
which is nothing short of tragic. Carried
to it's ultimate course some people will
be convinced that America is not worth
fighting for.
In this day of national peril we should
close ranks and make certain that we
have not already gone too far in that
direction.
Only as we awaken to the real danger
of losing it will we be determined to pro-
test and defend our country and our mar

WV III Threat

It seems incredible that only sixteen
years after the end of hostilities of World
War II that we should be lowering on the
very brink of what might easily be World
War III and nuclear holocaust that could
mean the end of all wars = and people.
And that is exactly where we are
today on the brink.
The constitution of the United States
specifically delegates to the President the
responsibility for determining our foreign
policy. On his shoulders rests the ave-
some responsibility of decision.
But as Americans who love our coun-
try and want to do everything within
our power to defend it from all enemies
there is at least one thing we can do to
help.
We can refrain from irresponsible
criticism based on wrong or incomplete
information In this day and time there
is no excuse for man not being well
Uniformed. If citizen does not care enough
about our country and our system OF gov
ernment to know what he is talking about
he should open his ears and eyes, and per-
haps his mind, instead of his mouth.
We are sick of people who have
nothing better to do than loosely criticize
the President of the United States, the
United States Supreme Court, members
of the United States Congress and every
public servant who does not perform his
Job to their personal satisfaction. This
irresponsible criticism, as evidenced in
conversation, letters to the editor, speech
es and in numerous other ways, has the
effect of undermining confidence in our
President, our courts and our government.
If you will but look around you and open
your ears, you will see what we mean.
There are people today in Mississippi
who honestly believe that the President
of the United States, the Supreme Court
and some of the Congress are subversive.
Tragically enough, some of our own Con-
gressmen are responsible for those opin-
ions because of their irresponsible pro-
nouncements = and they know better.
These critics equate communism with
socialism, saying there is no difference,
and they point to any social legislation
in the Congress as drift of this nation
toward complete socialism and hence,
communism.
And then on occasion some of these
critics brazenly want to know what has
become of our old-fashioned patriotism =
when the truth is that they themselves
have plowed it under and in some cases
