There are a number of good rea sons, we think, why Governor J. Strom Thurmond should be elected to the United States senate. We will not go into a listing now, but his fearless stand against federal aid to education should send him to the senate to fight against that danger ous proposal endorsed by his op ponent and other candidates for high and low offices, as well as a large number of school officials and teach ers, and even the state legislature. Those who advocate federal school aid always add the provision, ‘•with out federal control.’’ That ,is all non sense. Sounds like tellihfe a child you can go in the swimming pool but don’t get your clothes wet. Once we accept federal aid there will be fed eral control, the elimination of racial separation policies. It would be turn ed into a club to force dictatorial policies upon the state in the oper ation of the schools that would break down traditions that have worked satisfactorily for both races. President Truman is for anti-seg regation everywhere in everything. So is his attorney general, McGrath, who would utterly destroy establish ed practices throughout the South. Look at the decisions of the Roose velt-packed supreme court yester day. They are steps toward the fed eral control of all public education. When the federal government appro priates millions for our schools it means nothing but their dictation, integration of the races and regi mentation of courses of study, teach ers and pupils. Gov. Thurmond is dead right in opposing the Washington playing for votes of "anti-segregationists.” He is fighting for the principle of states’ rights and Southern traditions that are more important thah patronage and committee assignments. He is on sound ground and is fighting for what we believe the great majority of South Carolinians stand for. authorities. - Avoid sudden chilling.
