Don't Write Off The Conservatives s.

The Conservative Republicans
may write off the Negro vote but
Negroes will be very foolish to
write off the threat to them of
the Conservative Republicans and
all of their CONSERVATIVE
satellites. Evidently the Conserva-
tive Republicans think that, if
they must write off the Negro vote
in the coming elections. they can
more than replace them with their
conservative" satellites.
If one has had access to the
materials put out by these groups
who are either Conservative Re-
publicans or call themselves just
conservative when describing
their. politics, and vote with the
Republicans. Il have heard Harry
Everingham say at one of his
meetings that I'VE" vote with the
Republicans because they think
more like ''us' than the Democrats
do), you can understand why these
anti groups are the satellites
of the Conservative Republicans
whose conservatism follows the
line of FOR AMERICA"
The FOR AMERICA" crowd
are the upper crust of the con-
SePvativeS extreme rightists.
After the experience at the meet
ing at Goldwater's basement of
The Anti-C Communist Movement Of
Arizona (TACOMA) whose vice
president attended the Tulsa, Okla,
anti communist school of Billy
Hargis' Anti-CommuniSt Christian
Crusade and returned with the
tape of Carter Pittman's TRADE
on the inferiority of Negroes and
the Communist threat of integra-
ton, decided to go back and
read in my collection of materials
from these groups. know that
they have inter-lOcking boards,
and that they hold big inter-grOup
conventions where large num-
ber of these groups, with differ
ent names but much the, same
goals and ways of working, meet
together and plan strategy. One
such convention or conference was
at WE THE PEOPLES annual
convention. in Chicago in Septem-
Der 1860 where about IS such
groups came together and hatch
ed the idea of ORIGINATING work
ing groups to which they would
give three-word names whose ini-
tialS would be SAC. These initials
they took from the initials of the
Strategic Air Command. That
why l wasn't surprised when the
group running against the Chart
er Government ticket gave their
ticket the name, SAC. We have
had several such named groups
in the Valley including Dean Shot
stalls Sunday afternoon Clubs. l
am told they were his, Also at
this Chicago meeting, or another
of the same kind, was hatched
the idea of supplanting U.N. Day
with United States Day, as if we
didn't already have the FOURTH
OF JULY. This was just another
attack on the United Nations.
I know that these low brow
groups will spell out their bigoted
attitudes on race and religion in
fiIthier and less subtle language
than the sophisticated groups. 1t
is interesting to go back and see
how the sophisticated conserva-
tives say that they believe on the
inferiOrity of groups.

Nc: RULE VOID

EDENTON, N. C. = Superior
Court Judge William Bundy has
ruled that this city's new ordi-
nance against picketing is in vlo-
lation of the First Amendment to
the u. S. Constitution. This guar
antees freedom of religion, speech,
press, association and petition.
The Judges decision followed
nonviolent direct action by the
Edenton Movement, made UP of
groups working integration here.
It also followed protests from
concerned persons and groups all
over the nation.
The ordinance was killed after
a hearing on briefs filed by G. A.
Tillett, local attorney, and Will
liam A. Kunstler, New York, coun-
sci for the Gandhi Social for
Human Rights, headed by DR..
Martin Luther King, Jr.
The hearing had to do with the
arrest of eight protesters against
the ordinance, including the Rev.
Frederick II. La Garde, regional
representative of the Southern
Christian Leadership Conference
(SCLC), Atlanta. SCLC is also
headed by DR.. King.
Those questioned by Kunstler
and Tillett ! during the hearing
included Mayor John A. Kitchener;
all six members of the Town
Council; Town Clerk William B.
Gardener; Town Attorney William
S. Brivott, and Henry B. Quinn,
proprietor of a supermarket.

ifold world missions, the
Peace Corps, at least, is a
solid success-so we tell our
selves in vast relief. Senator
Humphrey, one Of its spon-
sors, has sat in judgment on
his own handiwork and finds
that the corps has done IAN
outstanding job" even though
its first wave Of recruits have
barely had time to get the
feel and grip of their various
tasks abroad.
OF course, it is q success by
the criteria so far employed:
Young men and women flock
to join it; foreign govern
ments welcome 1t (they

and Communists attack it. I
would go further and say
that giving frustrated Ameri-
can youth a sense Of mission
and adding to our supply Of
comprehension Of other So
cieties fatten the credit side
Of the ledger.
Important as are these re-
turns on our investment $3.50
million this fiscal year,, they
remain fringe benefits. In the
first place, the work of the
corps has very little more to
do with producing peace in
this world than with produc-
ing war. The long history Of
peoples, heavily interpene-
trated culturally, frequently
waging war on one another,
undercutS the whole notion
OF peace preserved by folks
getting to know one another"
More Importantly, while
the corps has something to
do with spot benefits in a few
isolated places. whether in
sanitizing drinking water or
building culverts, its work
has. and can have, very little
to do with the fundamental
investments, reorganizations
and reforms upon which the
true and long-term economic
development Of backward

Americans rush in where
angels fear to tread, an
occasionally endearing trait
which has probably done
more good than harm in a
bewildered world. But we
are also the people who in
vented the phrase "check
and double check" although
we require an astonishingly
long time to practice what
we preach.
After a dozen years Of
fabulous expenditure Of
money, efforts and reputa-
tions, we are finally to have
a double-check Of our foreign
aid programs by disinterested
inspectors, presided over by
the sharp If not lofty mind Of
Lucius Clay, whose instincts
as well as his face bear re-
semblance to the hawk that
sees and pounces quickly and
never lets go unless dragged
from his quarry. AS a care
free gesture, I would predict
that his major exercise in
blame e-laying will not ques-
ton the competence Of ad-
ministrators or field workers
so much as the capacity Of
many societies to be de-
veloped, in our time and by
our methods.
To say that the initial en-
thusiasm over foreign aid has
gone yellow in the leaf is the
understatement of the policy
season. But while this mas
sive double-check is put in
motion, we remain in the
stage Of initial enthusiasm"
about foreign aids eager
helper, the Peace Corps.
Here again. the cycle will
repeat itself. though we shall
all, ourselves. be much yel-
lower In the leaf before a
realistic appraisal Of the
corps comes about, let alone
reappraisal. There is nothing
, so irresistible as pure inten-
tons backed by pure pub
licity, and I am aware that
in the current atmosphere
of euphoric reverence an ex-
pressed doubt about the
Peace Corps will receive the
same treStment as a doubt
expressed about virginity.

CHRISTMAS, 1962.-Some
day the spirit Of Christmas
will mean more in national
and international affairs
than it does today.
Some day there will be
peace on earth.
Some day there will be good
will toward men.
When?
Can it be while men hate
each other. deceive one an
other, envy one another, rob
one another?
Can 1t be while men malign
one another and distort truth
just to win an election to
public office?
Can It be while men, with
out basis, question each
others integrity instead of
debating issues and ideas?
Can 1t be while those who
boast Of freedom and de-
mocracy practice bigotry in
their own communities and
deny their fellow men the
rights that freedom" must
guarantee to everyone?
Can it be while men con-
Spire to enslave their fellow
men-to imprison them in
isolated camps far from their
homes and families?
Can 1t be while tyrants
deny liberty to the individual
and WELD the scepters of
despotism over millions of
helpless persons?
Can 1t be while we prate Of
morals and idealism and then
sell our souds amid the hypo-
criSies Of the hour?
Can it be while men sur
render principle and morality
and excuse their conduct as
necessary to meet political
expediency" in international
relations?
Can it be while men who
profess to be righteous sit
down to bargain with evil
regimes and to negotiate a
"live and let live" philosophy
that openly condones sin,
and cravenly run away from
the sacrifices so necessary to
triumph in a just cause?

minded Of Christmas in an
outburst Of generosity to-
ward kinfolk and friends.

Spirit of a Christmas to Come

For until the spirit that
permeated the life and teach
ings of Jesus nearly two
thousand years ago becomes
the code of mankind. there
will be continuous friction
and misunderstanding and,
perhaps, even war.
Peoples do not willingly
fight one another. Rulers
bring on war by misleading
oppressed peoples, hiding the
truth from them and falsely
accusing other nations Of
threatening attack. It is the
Oldest crime In all history.
We are conscious of its
vicious impact today. Only
truth can overcome it, by
reaching into the hearts Of
men everywhere.
Some day there will be a
real Christmas.
Some day the peoples of
the world will rise to do
homage to the principles
that win assure a peaceful
existence.
But the real Christmas
will never come through the
electric display Of slogans or
the myriads Of tinseled trees
exhibited along our thorough
fares.
The real Christmas viii
come when men have discov-
cred within themselves the
power that overnight can
render impotent any COM
mands issued by the despots.
The real Christmas will
come when, among nations
like our own and our allies,
there is an impulse to follow
the courageous will Of q lib
Grated conscience.
To achieve this emancipa-
ton from the shackles of
modern ideologies, we must
grow a Christmas tree that
doesn't wither the day after
Christmas tree that is
nourished within our own
hearts and spreads its
branches from man to man
as it unites us all in a world
Of eternal love.

Americans, Along With Prince Albert
And Dickens, Have Changed Customs

In a Christmas report
from London a testy old club
man, his nose veined from
many after-dinner potions of
port and his middle extended
from many servings of Still
ton and biscuits, taken along
with the wine, was inveigh-
ing against Christmas.
"All Dickens books" he
said, should be collected and
burned. They have had a bad
influence on Christmas"
And further" he snarled,
ut was also the fault of
that damned German"
Now this might be called
typical English of the gen.
tleman's set. He did not re-
fer to Hitler, the late and
unlamented, or the former
Kaiser. BY that damned
German" he meant dear Al
bert, Queen Victoria's beloved
consort. 1t had been he,
snorted the old clubman, who
had introduced the German
Christmas customs to Britain,
the decorated tree and the
other pagan trimmings.
The Americans, too, were
to blame. They had added to
the furious business of ex-
changing gifts and to the
snowballing custom Of
Christmas cards, which this
year covered the British Isles
in an inch or so of paper.
Time was when a family
sent a few cards of greeting
to their intimate friends and
confined gifts to the family.
Now, said the gentleman,
a sort of madness has taken
hold on Queen Elizabeth's
islands. and under the in
fluence Of Dickens, that
damned German" and the
Americans, Christmas has
become a horror of CONNER
cialism, bedlam and cocktail
parties.

material things. The voice Of
the spiritual is rarely heard
above the din of the crowd.
We recite the rituals, but do
we fulfill the words which
speak the true creed?
This is an age Of decay
ing morals and of Grass mate
rialism. The prophets Of old
have been silenced. The new
prophets urge the advantages
of compromise with evil
they terrorize the people with
a strange fear of death. They
regard sacrifice as obsolete.
Jesus, they argue In effect,
would better have appeased
the enemy.
The motivation to resist ty-
rannical masters at the risk
Of death has always been
heroic, but nowadays we are
asked to buy security at any
price-even at the price Of
ideals and moral principle.
The great martyr of all
times had no fear Of mortal
death. His was to the last a
voice Of patience and re-
straint, of charity and for
giveness. There was no finch
ing In the test.
The lesson in the life of
Jesus, well known to all of us
but little needed, is one Of
martyrdom for a great prin-
ciple. This principle offers a
firm foundation for all hu-
man relationships. 1t Is a
principle Of unselfish concern
for and, indeed, love Of ones
fellow man.
Nations will never manifest
1t in their relations with other
nations until individual Is
learn it's true meaning and
give it effect in their daily
lives.
For the principle Of love is
not merely affection for one
another. It connotes toler-
ance. helpfulness, willingness
to share one another's re-
sources and, above all, rem
dering unto others the respect
and the consideration that
equals deserve from one an
other.
We speak Of peace as an
objective. But we seldom ex-
anime the ingredients Of
peace that comprise the
moral force Of mankind.

edge. But the end results of
such efforts lie far beyond
the mistiest horizons; it is
impossible, as well as ridicu-
lous, to start proclaiming
them now.
If fringe benefits were all
that the corps originators
had in mind, then this should
be made clear to the country.
If they truly believe in solid,
practical, measurable results,
then we ought to have a pre-
liminary accounting one day
soon, always bearing in mind
two things: the cost to the
taxpayer and the propor-
tionate good to the country
involved.
So far, any taxpayer is en-
titled to wonder how much
if at all. a country like Brazil,
for example. can be changed
for the better by the presence
of a handful Of American
youngsters, in the face Of an
advancing sea of initiation,
population tides and hunger
among its tens Of millions Of
people. The corpsmen now
run about IS or 80 to a coun-
try, across the vast, unmeas-
urable human swamps Of
Asia and Latin America.
Some awareness Of the worlds
size might aid our assess
ments.
On the argument that the
Peace Corps has proved q
success, the Government now
approaches the idea Of a
domestic corps for service in
our own slums and blighted
regions. I won't argue that
we should have started there
in the first place-this would
not have happened, given the
absence of glamour. But here
at home. in the Harlems,
South Chicagos and Kentucky
coal regions, momentum will
not be maintained by pub
licity; every constituency con-
cerned will soon teach its
Congressman the difference
between fringe and measur-
able returns, and the double
check will run from the be-
ginning concurrently with the
check.
II won't require a dozen
years and a Gen. Clay TO
show the stockholders exactly
what has happened to their
investment. So maybe 1t
should be tried.
