Color Is Skin Deep, But
Evil Is DeepAs The Heart

'Send me a letter, send it by
mail; send it in care of Birming-
ham jail" This old wall indicated
the safest method to Americans
embarrassed not by ugly Amer
leans abroad, but by those at home.
The President described Birming-
ham as IAN ugly situation" And
it is. AS ugly as the arrest and
failing of a seven-year-old girl;
as ugly as the use of water pres
sure strong enough to strip bark
from trees, and the use of dogs
against human beings. For what?
For wanting such simple rights as
eating in a cafeteria, attending a
school.
ugly" is the appropriate word.
For it was truly ugly folly which
employed animal fury against men
in situation in which the very
rights and dignity of man were
at issue. It was an ugly stupidity
in an explosive social situation to
employ a means that could only
inflame an already threatening
violence. The widely published
picture of Negro, one arm in the
grip of a policeman, the other in
the teeth of dog, will doubtless
be answered by future bloody
retaliatory violence. For month

light of a foreboding nature, on

water, the fire next time.
The issue is bigger than Birm-
ingham, as big as all America;
it is deeper than color, as deep
as evil in the human heart. In
Birmingham's riots, men saw
themselves. They saw how thin
is the veneer of their everyday
decency, how dark the hatred and
how raw the violence in the deep
er chasms of the human soul.
Christians saw that perso n |
regeneration is not enough to
solve our social ills, for not all
the guilty were non-Christians.
And any man not blinded by
twisted prejudice could see that
Nazi Germans were not special
sinners, for morally noting distin-
cuisines anti-Semitism from Birm-
ingham's racism. In the ugly clash
of American against American,
one could see the common nature
we all share, and the o m m n
judgment under w h i C h we all
stand.
He who looked hard at the social
ugliness in Birmingham saw not
special sinners who fight for states
rights but trample on h u m
rights; he saw the human nature
we all share. He saw a time to
weep, to repent, to remember
"inasmuch as We have done it
unto these We have done it unto
me" CHRISTIANITY TODAY

A BOOK
REVIEW

IN Gv Ivv
THE SOUTH AND THE SOUTH.
ERNER by Ralph McGiII. Atlantic
non fiction winner. Little Brown
G. Co., 1868. 3o7 PIP. $500.
Ralph McGill lives upon the
Chattahoochee, which is a size
larger as rivers go than the brook
Cherith, where Elijah the Tish-
bite went to improve his notions
of ethical idealism. And as a pro-
wider for the necessities of life,
the Atlanta Constitution compares
favorably with the raven-pow-
cred hamburger lift of olden times.
Yet perhaps Ralph McGill is
close enough to all the fugitive
prophets who have notbent the
knee to Baal, and long way from
their isolation. He does not run
away from ethical realism to Gull
tivate idealism. He rushes to en-
counter it. The resulting clash may
seem like Don Quixote and the
windmills, but as constant edi-
torial policy it has proved very
good for circulation
If the cynics of ethical realism
could believe that Ralph McGill's
concern is buttering his own
bread, they would feel more COM
Portable. That is not his motive.
Yet what other motive can an
ethical realist see? None! Alb
solutely none. It is battling.
In the transcendestal mystique
of high church journalism h
white surface of newsprint be-
comes the fair linen cloth of
banquet, the holy feast of mass
media, to which all men are well
come. And so without discrimina-
ton they gather around to share
what was "laid upon the stone,"
and to commit themselves entirely
before the need arises, and to
devote themselves entirely later
on. It is mental communion in
the highest sense.
William Faulkner could not go
that far. In his mystique the plane
surface was white carpet, easily
soiled. On that ethical platform
the aristocracy would operate and
accumulate a hoard of rich re-
sources, both physical and spir-
itual. Then came the Snopes to
walk with filthy tracks upon the
basic principles of integrity, to
defile the Constitution and reduce
it to worthlessness. And the sight
of the barn made them burn with
envy, asd try to burn the bran
itself. The will to go and do like
wise, and practice liberty, equal
ity, and fraternity never occurred
to them. They did not have the
ethical idealism. Brother Rat, in
deed
Ralph McGill calls names. To
his way of thinking the four rats
most responsible to imposing their
tracks and devastation upon the
noble tradition of the south were
Cd a Virginian, Thomas Roderick
Dew, (2) Benjamin Tillman of
South Carolina, (3) James Kimble
Vardaman of Mississippi, and (4)
Thomas Watson of Georgia.

Croix and st. Thomas have had no hurricane withinth
memory of the youngest of them here, which perhaps
Imay be or Mr.. Alexander, / don't know
but we do know that it isn't necessary to make the
change, because as the good gentleman said a while ago,
the weather is changing and so forth. It may change
back again. and then we'll have to come back and change
the date QAUGHTER SO we might as well let it stay
as it is.
THE PRESIDENT: Senator Alexander, you started
to make remarks regarding the Harvey Aluminium ques-
ton.
MIR. ALEXANDER: Yes, Mr.. President, l thought
that that matter might have beensdiscussed Whenthe
bill itself is about to be acted upon. This matter, as you
gentlemen know, has caused a great deal Of discussion.
l don't think that anything so important has occurred
ever since the discovery Of the Islands by Columbus,
or by the transfer from the Danish sovereignty to
American sovereignty, as this Harvey Aluminium ques-
ton has brought. In the beginning Of the year, the ques-
ton came up where there were some industrialist look
ing for land on which to establish a site for an alumni
mum factory. This was in the previous administration,
and these people were searching around. Nothing was
heard about it until subsequently, after, a committee
was sent to the Island of Jamaica with the view in mind
that this might become a reality, and the body wanted
to know what III effects, if any, would be obtained if
permission was granted to allow the Harvey Aluminium
operation to establish on the Island of St. Croix.
The President and myself, along with another in
dividual, proceeded to Jamaica and we made a very e-
tensive study within a week. We visited a plant at Alca-
lam; we visited a plant of Reynolds Aluminium. We did
not visited the plant of Kaiser Aluminium, We were so
satisfied with what we had seen in Alcajam, and what
we had seen in the Reynolds Metal Company, in North
ern Jamaica at Ocho Rios, that we came back. formu-
lated a report and submitted the report to this body as
well as to the community showing from the standpoint
of health hazards, there were no such thing that .wen
thought were obtained there.
We were very conservative with that report, may
be we could have elaborated more on it, but since we
were not sent with the purpose of investigating the eco
nornic end of it, and the social end of /, we did not elab-

III Senator ALEXANDER, before you
close, you started to speak on the Harvey Aluminium
question. Are you ready to do that now ?
MR.. ALEXANDER l yield to Senator Gomez,
who desires to speak.
MR.. GOMEZ: Mr.. President. - aa
THE PRESIDENT Senator Gomez. sNodf
MR.. GOMEZ Mr.. President, the Senator suggest
ed that we change the local Thanksgiving Day and
accept the national Thanksgiving Day. MI. President, OF
course, we all have our own opinion, and unfortunately
/ have to differ with my colleague across the way at this
time. It seems to me that while we are bona fide Amerl-
can citizens, and we are glad to comply with the obserV-
ance of any American holiday on the calendar, lcantsee
why we should take off any of those which mean some
thing to us. Now, those people who arranged the dates
about hurricanes and all of that kind Of thing, they must
have had some good reason for it. It has been going on
all through the years that way. We have never had a
hurricane anyway outside of that time-at least not on
the Island Of st. Thomas. And that law was promul-
gated for St. Thomas, not for somewhere else that might
have had a hurricane in January.
Mr.. President, l feel that we ought to keep it on the
list as long as we can, and don't substitute it for any
thing else. We're now keeping two it seems fooish3
but let us continue to keep them.
MR.. ALEXANDER Thru the Chair: Mr.. Presi-
dent, I think the only way to convince my colleague
over there is to have a hurricane subsequent to October
18th. No, l think it is public knowledge now, that the
weather is really changing. 1t has changed from the days
when the honorable gentleman was a youngster. In our
days the hurricanes used to come after July. Now, the
hurricanes begin at the end of May and don't end until
the end Of November. Last year, hurricane notices were
given subsequent to October 25th, and we have had
hurricanes even in the month Of January. Several years
ago we had one in Saba that was coming here, we were
all prepared for it, but it didn't turn up. That day is
really meaningless. It has no bearing whatsoever, and
the national Thanksgiving Day occurs at the end Of
November, which is the end Of the hurricane season now.
So / figure that if we should use the national holiday
for general Thanksgiving, to thank God we had no hur-
ricane, to thank God for His goodness, thank Him for
crops, and thank Him for everything, it would be more
appropriate. 1e ss
