Washington (ANP) - Hobson
Reynolds, grand exalted ruler Of
the Ellxs of the World and a life
long Republican who seconded the
nomination of Eisenhower for
President last week threatened to
second the nomination of President
Lyndon Johnson If Republicans
don't go along on civil rights.
Reynolds was among some 200
persons representing 80 national
organizations comprising the Lead
ership Conference on Civil Rights
which met in a strategy session
here, last week, at the Mayflower
hotel.
The prominent Elk leader who
claims some 100000 members in
1.50O branches throughout the ma
ton said he had instructed men,
bers to begin contracting their
Congressman in an effort to get
their support behind the civil rights
legislation.
Reynolds made it plain that the
issue of civil rights was not a
partisan issue and that he no long
er would remain a Republican if
members of his party attempted to
gut the civil rights bill or assist
to delaying its passage.
Roy Wilkins, chairman of the
Conference, told reporters follow
ing the closed-door meeting that
the. discussions which centered on
the passage of the civil rights bill
ended on a note Of optimism and
enthusiasm"
He said that those attending the
meeting expressed a confident tone
that the bill would be passed.
Another meeting participant.
George Meany, president of the
AFL~CTO, explained that the only
way the civil rights bin was going
10 get out of the House Rules Com
mittee was through a discharge
petition - a procedural method OF
dislodge a bill from House COM
mfttee where it has become buried
or delayed.
Chairman Of the Rules Com
mittee Is Howard w. Smith, Of
Virginia, southerner deadly op-
posed to any civil rights legisla-
d0n. Last week, Smith, after be-
ing pressured by other Congress
men and the President said he
would call the bill up for hear
ings by his committee "SOme-
time I'm January"
But members Of the Leadership
Conference do not intend 10 wait
for Smith 10 call his hearings.
A proponent Of the bin and a
powerful House Democrat, Rich

with logic. She pointed out that

a heated exchange. You're always
the one who is ashamed of the
board and its actions"
Because I was elected just like
you were," Mrs. White responded
with some heat, adding: "And it
would have TO be the people who
elected me to get me off of this
board and not you"
Mrs. White earlier had rejected
board president Joe Kelly Buffers
demand that she apologize for her
remarks, which he had interpreted
in his own light,
II will not apologize for your
Interpretation of something I did
not say, Mrs. White stormed back
at him.
What provoked the heated ex-
change that rocked the board meet
ing was Mrs. Whites reference to
report that some children in
one of the schools had clapped and
rejoiced upon learning of the as
sassination of President John F.
Kennedy in Dallas.
Expressing CONSERVATION at such
action, Mrs. White had said:
There are rumors of hand clap
ping and rejoicing at one of the
schools when the President was
assaSsinated. More and more you
get to believe, though, that so much
respect for the flag and respect
for your country cannot be put into
the hearts Of children simply by
having them repeat the pledge to
the flag.
And I must confess have felt
that perhaps board actions -wheth-
er Intentional or unintentional =
had at sometime perhaps given
the impression that we were anti
American or anti-federal govern
ment."
At that juncture, Butler asked
Mrs. White to apologize, when she
refused, Butler added with some
scarcasm:
II think that any board member
that feels they can accuse this
board Of tn-American action Is so
irresponsible that they really
shouldn't be allowed TO serve on
the board" He called Mrs. Whites
statement ridiculous"
But the outspoken Mrs. White,
who Is serving her second term,
was ready for him again. She re-
torted: . ,a.- .--.-- .-,.- %.
when we as a board refuse to
let the Houston Independent
School children know anything
about the United Nations or re-
fuse to permit them to engage in
essays or contests where they will
learn more about their govern
ment when we really disobey the
law of the land as far as the (U.S.)
Supreme Courts (desegregation)
ruling Is concerned - surely these
actions give interpretations, wheth-
er they are right or wrong, to a
community that I, as board men,
Der, am not proud Of"

The South in general is emerging
as an industrial giant, whose potential
will not be realized for years to come,
but the prospect thrills even the

Our area is suited to light industry.
We have the land on which factories
can be built. We have the people to
man the machines. Our people and
people like them throughout the
South are the hope of the nations
industry.
Here industry is not bled by govern
ment as it is in the North Here the
labor unions have not sunk in their
tallons so industry is forced to play
the games the labor leaders call. Here
industry still has the freedom to grow
and to prosper as it chooses.
That is part of the proud heritage
of the South.
And, that growth and prosperity is
ours, if we but persevere.
We must guard that freedom to
grow, nurse it and nourish it. We must
support the educational programs in
the area and see to it that they are
the very best we can get. We must
not allow the strangling, tenticles of
the labor unions to encircle us and
choke off our growth.
These things are Just part of the
duty we owe to future generations.
So far things look good. The indus
try in Loris and Tabor City reports
our people are willing and able work
ers who reach production quickly and
learn their jobs thoroughly. Happy
industry attracts industry which is
not so happy with its lot in other parts
of the country.

Lest We Forget - And Ignore:

.The preparations for another
Christmas season are all around us.
The bright lights, the festive decora-
tions and the hustle of the people in
the fever of last minute gift-buying
are all part of the warmth of the
happiest time of the year.
But, as the tempo picks up, let us
reflect for moment on the history
of this celebration. 1t is a birthday.
The Prince of Peace prophet,
leader, Savior, our carefully preserv-
ed history tells us, was born in
manger so that man might be saved
from his weak, sinful failings.
Many things of Christmas - home
made toys and gifts, candlelighted
trees gay with strings of popcorn and
paper ornaments - have become
things of the past. We live in an era
of vast material abundance. But the
weight of that abundance can bury
our spiritual wealth.

Our people realize - more and
more every day the impending
doom of what was a one-crop agricul-
ture-based economy. Even here in one
of the richest farming areas in our
country, more and more people leave
the farms I'm seek of work in the
towns and cities which surround us.
AS those people leave us, they take
with them whatever income they
have, and the whole community is
that much poorer.
The answer to that problem is OBJ

means industry.
The very word, industry, carries
