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.
