Unity Is Strength

EIGHTEEN years ago American SOL
diers landed in France during the
darkness of the morning of June 6, 1914
This was, Of course, the biggest am
phibious operation of its kind ever I'M
dertaken and the democratic countries
which were mounting the effort had
been planning this operation for years.
1t was necessary that American,
British, Canadian and other soldiers
land in Europe if Hitler was to be de-
feated and that is why the gigantic OPP
GRAFTON was staged.
We look back on the valiant efforts
OF the war years and it is sometimes
easy to be cynical about them. It is easy
to say, regarding fighting with the Rus
slams, that we were actually fighting the
wrong enemy.
But hindsight is always better than
foresight and at the time of World War
II the immediate menace of England
and America and the free world was
fascism.
1t is true that We aided the Russians
tremendously and that they took ad-
vantage of us after the war and that,
If we had it to do over again, we might
conduct our affairs with them differ
emily.
The important thing to remember, in
June, 1862, is that the great landings
OF 1914 brought about great surge of
unity OF purpose and solidarity among
the American people. For that, June,
1914 should be remembered.
We might also remember that, as a
nation, the more united we are the
stronger we are. Those who seek to d.
vide us, to turn one element of the popu-
lation against another, must not sue
coed.

Into The Looking Glass

MEMBERS of the U. s. Supreme Court
are looking into the mirror. In four
decisions handed down last Monday,
singing dissents were made in three
and sharp disagreement in the fourth
even though an unanimous decision. In
all four cases the majority was ac-
cused of overstepping itself, a charge
which has been made by citizens, law
yers. and even judges of lower courts
for some years now. When justices be-
gin to see some of the failings of the
majorities of the Warren Court, truly
the justices must be looking into the
mirror. 1t is good omen when we begin
to look and talk about our own frailties.

No False Pride

EARMVILLE has no pride either real
or false in the situation described in
statement made by DR.. John Hope
Franklin, head Of the history depart
ment of Brooklyn College, at the gradu-
alton exercises of Virginia Union Uni
versity. He is quoted as saying:
The fact that county in this state has no
public schools is not only blot the social
integrity and the intellectual life Of this
state but is is an international disgrace as
well.
What source Of pride can there be in the
fact that Farmvie is better known than
Richmond in Australia and Africa and
Europe?
The answer to the question is NONE.
What the historian did not say and
we suspect what the propaganda
machines of the New Frontier have
not said is that the NAACP forced the
closing of public schools; that the citi-
zens have offered educational opportu-
mites to all not once but several times;
that the county has been defending
suits brought by NAACP in federal
court for ten years; that citizens Of all
classes have been and are courteous
and considerate of each other; that
Prince Edward or Farmville would
never have been heard of outside Vir-
ginia unless it had been the desire of
the propagandists to hold it up as an
horrible example Of people who still
want to control their own schools and
educate their children as they wish.
Farmville and Prince Edward County
do not seek notoriety or publicity, and
the sooner an organized minority leaves
them alone, the quicker solution will
be found to the problem at hand.

Swindle Of Youth

THERE is no prize today more covet-
ed by the Communist swindlers
than the minds of youth. Unfortunately,
many young Americans do not yet real
ize that the battle has been Joined and
that a fierce theological struggle pre-
sently is being waged
"The politically immature sit on the
sidelines. The politically naive wonder
what is wrong with Communism ?"
while the battle for the future is being
fought - now. The outcome of the bat
tie will determine whether the human
race is to progress in freedom and
dignity or whether the slow upward
climb is to be reversed and the labor
of centuries rolled back to the degreda-
ton of slave regime
-. The Communist swindler knows
that he who controls the youth con-
trolls the future
How can the inexperienced recog-
nize the hidden hooks of Communism :?
This IS not an easy question to answer
Perhaps the greatest danger lies in
Understanding the patience of those
who seek to sovietize the United States
of America. The Communist is sophis-
tlcated. The chance that you might be
approached directly and asked to join
the Communist Party USA, is remote.
You would reject the direct approach
= and the Communist knows it
The plans of the Communist are long
range; his patience, infinite.
He measures his advances not in
days - but in decades He uses an end

J. Edgar Hoover makes sense
to me. Read what he says: The
great danger today is that the
constant reiteration Of the party
line by Communists-day after
day-may cause their demands
to be accepted as valid and
truthful"
This is the deplorable fact.
Yet We are told the Communist
menace within America is not
serious and can have no effect
on Americans Of American poll
cy. We have been told this over
and over again. j. Edgar Hoover
does not agree. Moreover, as is
his way. he has spelled out
what is:

"crisis artificially created by

Lukewarm Church
Lesson for June 10, 1862

The book called Revelation is
probably the most difficult book
in the New Testament to under
stand; and yet, for some reason
more people, with more differ
ing ideas, claim to know just
what it all means than any
other. It is strange also that the
two chapters which are plainest
of all, are the two that receive
the least attention from interpre-
tiers. These two chapters q and
81 contain short messages or
letters" to seven C Christian
churches, all of them long since
vanished, in the Roman province
of Asia.
Why study messages to church
es far away and long ago? For
the same reason we study the
Bible at all. BY thinking over
what "holy men Of old" said. by
the Spirits inspiration, to men
of their time. we can gather
truth which is useful to us who
live in a different century, under
seemingly diffe r e n t circum-
stances.
Suburban Captivity
Some commentators on the
book of Revelation have seen in
the descriptions of these seven
churches a panorama of church
h tory; seven ages of the
church, seven successive eraS in
which the Christian church has
resembled first the church Of
Ephesus, then that Of Smyrna
and so on. This is highly arti-
fetal and is not suggested by the
book itself. It is nearer the truth
to say that both the virtues and
the vices of all the seven Asian
churches can be seen in every
era and in almost every congre-
cation. Take the Church of Laodi-
cea, for example. There have al
ways been churches of this type,
and especially in America it is
common today. A student of the
church named Winter has writ
ten book called The Subur-
ban Captivity of the Churches, ="
in which he makes the point that
suburban churches today carry
a very large portion of the
churches members, and set the
style. so to speak, for other
types of churches, rural and ur-
ban. Then the author proceeds
to point out what is wrong with
the churches of suburbia
and it reads almost as if he
were thinking of Laodica all the
time. There were two main
things wrong with that church.
First it was lukewarm. It had
neither the enthusiasm and spon-
taneity of the 'hot" church, nor
the discipline. the doctrine Laid
out cold," the careful liturgy, of
the cold" church It went
through the motions of being a
church.
A Proud, Blind Church
DR.. Winters book makes the
charge that the typical Ameri-
can church, the pace-setting con
gregation, is more Of club than
a true Christian fellowship. It
runs away from poor people, it
hides IN an extensively zoned
residential community wher e
poor people can't cont. It is
wealthy, the building costs a
sum which the members are
proud to mention to visitors. It's
contribution to benevolences is
small, but oh. the amount in the
Building Fund column! To be a
member of it may be not only
respectable, but sign of social
distinction. 1t takes some pride
in the fact that it does not need
any money from the outside. 1t
has its own kindergarten, kit
chens and everything. The same
people you will see at the coun-
try club you will see here.
But this is just what the
church at Laodicea was. Rich,

Brown Hits Nixon
For Attack on
'Curpetbuqgers'

SACRAMENTO, Calf. Mar.
.26 (AP).-Gov. Edmund G.
(Pat) Brown, accusing Richard
M. Nixon of being ell tenn
pered and small" says the
former Vice President didn't
speak for the people Of Cali
fornia when he called President
Kennedy a carpetbagger."
But a spokesman In Los An
geles said yesterday that Mr..
Nixon's statements were mis-
understood.
The Republican gubernato-
rial hopeful said in a speech
Friday that Democrats will
send top leaders to California
to help Gov. Brown win re-
election.
1--WE will show these carpet
baggers a thing or two" Mr..
Nixon said. But the spokesman
said Mr.. Nixon referred to
Democrats who will have to
help rescue Pat Brown" anG
not the nonpolitical trips Of
John and Robert Kennedy last
week end.
Gov. Brown, however, said
last night most Californians
would want to apologize to the
President if they had the OPP
portunity.
The Governor said the Pres
ident was invited to California
and paid personal tribute to
the University Of California
and that his brother, the At
torney General, was in Cali
fornia "at our request to ad-
dress a conference on the
fight against crime"

on two occasions when he en-
tered the main dining room of
the restaurant at the airport he
was directed to a small room
reserved for Negroes.
In another decision, the court
by a So vote, ruled that a
State may require a motorist
to pay damages stemming from
an auto accident or lose his
drivers license despite the fact
that he goes through bank
ruptcy.
The case came from Utah
where a motorist unsuccessful
ly tired to get his license back
on the ground that the Fed
eral Bankrupcy Act had re-
leased him from the debt.
Justice Frankfurter, in writ
ing the majority opinion, noted
that Congress had passed a
safety responsibility law for
the District of Columbia identi-
cal with the Utah statute and,
in doing so, had no thought
of amending the Federal bank
ruptcy Act.

suggested a number Of ways
in which the Federal court it
self might accomplish a redis-
tricting. It also suggested that
experience in New Jersey and
Minnesota indicated the legis-
lature might redistrict itself If
faced with the threat of a
court ordered reapportionment
or an at-large election.
Both Strongly Critical
Despite Justice Brennan's in
sistence on confining the de-
cision to jurisdictional and re-
lated matters, both dissenting
opinions were strongly critical
of the move to put the Federal
courts into the redistricting
picture.
Justice Frankfurter, calling
the decision "a massive re-
pudiation of the experience of
our whole past" and an as
sertion Of "destructively novel
judicial power" warned that
ut may well impair the courts
position as the ultimate organ
Of the supreme law Of the land"
"Apportionment battles" he
said, "are overwhelmingly party
or intra-party contests. 1t will
add a virulent source of fric-
ton and tension in Federal
State relations to embroil the
Federal judiciary in them"
Harlan's View
Justice Harlan, in his dis
sent, said, Il can find nothing
in the Federal Constitu-
ton which expressly or i'm
pliedly supports the view that
State Legislatures must be so
structured as to reflect with
approximate equality the voice
of every voter"
Justice Stewart, in a sep
arate concurring opinion, said
Justice Harlan was mistaken in
thinking that the high court
was insisting on approximate
equality for every voter.
However, Justice Douglas, in
another separate concurring
opinion, said the question pre-
sented by the Tennessee case
"iS the extent to which a State
may weight one persons vote
more heavily than it does
another's."
The final concurring opinion,
by Justice Clark, criticized the
majority opinion for simply
sending the case back to the
lower court. I'm view Of the
detailed study that the court
has given this problem" JUS
tice Clark said, 1T is unfortu-
nate that a decision is not
reached on the merits"

VOTERS ..
Court Ruling Based
On Tennessee Case

States voters elect SO Of SO
State Representatives.
A voter in one rural county,
their complaint said, has 19
times as much representation
as a voter in one urban county.
(Such disparities in voting
representation are not uncom-
mon, recent studies by the
University of Virginia have
shown.
The Tennessee voters ap-
pealed first to their State su-
preme court, where they were
turned down, and then to the
Federal District Court in Nash
vile.
In February. 1860, the Dis
trict Court rejected their suit
on the grounds that past Su-
preme Court decisions left mo
oubt -. that the Federal courts
will not intervene in cases
of this type"
The case was argued on ap-
peal in the Supreme Court last
