Bay Line Victim
Racial Integraton
Says Norfolk Man

The Editor, Farmville Herald,
A recent issue of Norfolk Vir-
ginia Pilot, re-issued your editori-
al The Bay From A Boat" and,
like yourself, brought back happy
memories and nostalgia to many
Of us old timers. But, my argu-
ment with you is you have failed
completely to inform your read
ers as to the exact cause of the
disease which sailed these boats
along into oblivion and a thing
of the past.
Three years ago the officials Of
T he Baltimore Steam Packet
Company, (OLD BAY LINE), re-
ceived orders from Washington
to integrate all services on these
boats. The dining saloon and
sleeping rooms which had been
operated for white people for one
hundred and twenty years. were
now to be shared with the Ne
groes. This, as you no doubt know
and understand, could never be.
The white man and his family re-
fused to grant such equality to
the Negro, and rather than do so,
stopped riding the boats. l per-
Sonally used to make the trip

Private Enterprise Challenged

If the federal courts are pre-
pared to encroach on private
rights to the same degree they
have usurped states rights
then the country is in graver
danger than it realizes.
There are warning signs that
the judiciary is cultivating the
idea that wherever a public in
terest exists. public control
should follow.
Today, that doctrine threatens
private education. Tomorrow. it
may threaten the private prac-
tice of medicine, or Of law. or of
manufacturing, or of such other
function as may be remotely
possessed of q public interest"
The latest, and one Of the
most ominous, signs of this
trend toward outright statism is
embodied in a decision of Fed
eral Judge j. Sicily Wright of
Louisiana. Judge Wright dis
missed all contentious that Tu-
lane University was a private
institution, which could exclude
Negro students although the
1882 bequest of Paul Tulane
speciffed that" his gift was ex-
pressly limited to white young
persons.
That ruling in itself is not the
alarming development, sine
there is evidence that Tulane
which originally was the Uni
versity of louisiana never quite
Invested itself of a public iden.
tity and character.
The shocking part of Judge
Wright's decision lies in his side

the Negro can't share tn e Sc

then tear it down and destroy it.
So, after 12O years Of successful
operation with the white mans
money, the Bay Line Boats re-
ceived their death summons in
side of three years after the auto
cratic eggheads in washington,
told the South how we would have
to live our lives.
The same story holds good with
everything the Negro comes in
contact with where he is thrown
into the arms of the white man.
A very successful Preachers
Mission" used to be held once a
years here in Norfolk until the
"do-gooders" eased their Shiny
way into control OF the Missions
affairs. From then on several of
the preachers who addressed
meetings were Negroes. and the
auditorium was integrated. It was
announced this past year that the
meetings would be discontinued.
There was not sufficient money
to pay for the appearance of~tlle
Negro prea chers and their

North. We didn't want any part
of them so the poor old Mission

function.
"They do the work of the
state, often in the place of the
state. Does it not follow that
they stand in the states shoes?
And, if so. are they not subject
to the constitutional restraints
on governmental action?
Reason and authority strong
ly suggest that the Constitution
never sanctions racial discrimi-
nation in our schools and col
leges. no matter how private
they may claim to be-"
BY simple extension of Judge
Wright's reasoning, the right Of
parochial or other denomina-
tional schools to teach religion
of any description likewis
would be denied as Estate &C
ton"
Judge Wright seems to be
preaching the doctrine suggest
ed back in 1947 by Pres. Tru-
mans Con I'M t e e on Civil
Rights. That group likewise sug-
gested the extension of state au-
thorlty into all activities where
the government had even a re-
mote connection.
That committee went so far
as to suggest 1.-The use of the
taxing power to discipline indi-
Vlduals and organizations which
are guilty of discriminatory
practices. The right of nonprofit
educational or welfare organiza-
tons to be exempt from prop
erty or income taxes and the
right of individuals to deduct
from their income tax contribu-
lions made to such organiza-
tons m i G h be deliberately
withheld. - emphasis added.
/ The same sort of thinking
creeps out in the reports of the
current Commission on Civil
Rights as it asks this question:
If state or its agency
grants a school a license to
operate, or approves a private
school as satisfying compulsory
school attendance laws, is there
sufficient state participation to
bring the school within the con-
stitutional ban?"
When the courts start incor-
porating such thinking into legal
decisions, the day of private en-
terprise whether in education
or otherwise is doomed.

Man has always sought to be free,
that is to be selective in his actions and
thoughts. The Constitution of the
United States is the only document
written by free men, in an atmosphere
of freedom, which sought to establish a
system of government of perpetual
freedom. They conceived, after years
Of study, discussions and conferences
a REPUBLIC, composed of a fedora
ton Of sovereign states, which banded
together in a federal union to protect
each from outside attack and interfer-
ence. Now the United States, constitu-
ton, it's checks and balances between
the powers of government the ex-
ecutive, legislative and judicial branch
es - are being upset at an alarming
rate. Conceptions Of free government
are rapidly being changed, with the ex-
ecutive and judicial branches over
balancing the legislative.
The Republic is in grave danger, not
alone from the inside but from the out
side. Governments of free men are
challenged by the MARKHAM doctrine Of
state slavery, developed rapidly during
the past 40 years. A two-pronged at
tack against free men is directed at the
control of mems minds sand mems
bodies. War threatens to wipe out all
vestiges Of civilization; political con-
troll replaces freedom Of thought and
action; apathy and inertia contribute
to the enslavement Of good men, as false
doctrines and unbridled power sweep
the world.

Doing Communists Work

SATURDAY in midtown New York,
- $500 pickets gathered to appeal to
President Kennedy to cancel his deci-
sion to test atomic weapons in the
Pacific. The rally was sponsored by
the National Committee for a Sane
Nuclear Policy. Their policy would
weaken the position of the United
States defenses.
This incident was one of a number
IN other nations which attempt to influ-
ence the actions of the President to keep
the United States strong militarily.
These protests more or less simultane-
ously are not incidental.
Russia broke an agreement among
nations when tests were made of new
weapons last October %, which alarmed
the nations of the world and showed the
unreliability of the Communists.

World, In A Swing.

CATAN has the world ina swing. He
y has many people doing his work for
him. He plans ahead and never quits
working day or night. Relatively, he
has many fewer converts than does God
and the good. The difference is that the
forces of God and good, even though a
maj ority, are not as active, are poor
planners, and are apathetic Evil lives
on good, contributes nothing to pro-
gress; destroys, does not build up. Evil
has been rampant through generations,
but it has not been as well known as it
is today, nor has it been as subtle.
A check through the daily newspapers
will reveal the names and deeds Of the
minority, who steal, burglarize, kill,
rape. Our attention is so attracted that
we forget the millions who live per
fectly normal lives of industry and
morality. 1t has always been thus, the
difference is that we have more COM
munication today and the news comes
from wider range. The people, mostly
anti-social, are soon found, confined or
dealt with so as to put them out of
society. They may be dangerous to
few people, but not to the entire popu-
lace
The people who concern us greatly
are those who do not have police re-
cords; are not anti-social, but ostensi-
bly, normal beings and citizens They
may be conscientious, highly moral;
many are respected citizens.
The conflict in this world today is
conflict of ideas, a struggle for the
minds of men. Satan works subtly,
through intrigue, chicanery and cum
ningness. Love for power controls their
reasoning and actions Like Satan they
work through others. They are the peo-
pie of this world who are most danger
our and require eternal vigilance. They
keep the world in a swing
World power has been the ambition
Of men for ages. Recorded history de-
