U. S. Senator from Sooth Carolina
CIVIL RIGHTS’ FRAUD
Many of those pushing for so-call
ed civil rights legislation maintain
that the issue before the Senate is
merely one of protecting the “right
to vote.” They adroitly refer to the
pending Dirksen bill as. a “voting
rights” bill. The idea is to convey
the impression that we Southern
Senators are against protecting the
“right to vote.”
As a matter of fact, the “voting
rights” provisions of the pending
bill constitute only two of the seven
sections of the Dirksen package.
One of the two wo&k! require State
and local election officials to pre
serve voting records for three years
and make them available to the U.
S. Justice Department for inspection
upon demand. We have no voting
deprivations to hide in South Caro
lina. State Attorney General Dan
McLeod says we have had but one
complaint in 10 years, and this one
was remedied at the State level.
Under no circumstances should we
be forced to sumbit to outside inter
ference and inspection of election
records by Washington.
The other “voting rights” section
sets up the procedure for court ^ap
pointed referees to oversee regis
tration, voting and vote counting,
not only in national elections, but in
State and local elections as well.
Under the Constitution, the States
have primary responsibility for the
conducr, and control of elections,
particularly of the few remaining
vestiges of State sovereignty. It
would also open the door to such
widespread election frauds as oc
curred in the North before a similar
Reconstruction law was repealed in
1894 1
Here briefly are the other provis
ions of this “voting rights” bill: (l)
provides a fine of $10,000 or im
prisonment for two years for what
a judge might determine to be an
attempt to obstruct a de segregation
order by talking or writing a letter
or edtorial; (2) creates a “federal”
crime for fleeing to avoid prosecu
tion for bombing of a religious or

FINAL SETTLEMENT
Take notice that on the 22nd day
of March, 1960, I will render a final
acount of my acts and doings as
Executrix of the estate of Robert
E. Wysor, Jr., deceased, in the
office of the Judge of Probate of
Laurens County, at 10 o’clock a.
m. and on the same day will apply
for a final discharge from my trust
as Executrix.
Any person indebted to said estate
is notified and required to make
payment on or before that date;
and all persons having claims
against said estate will present
them on or before said date .duly
proven, or be forever barred.

educational building (State laws al
ready cover bombings); (3) indors
es the Supreme Court’s iniquitous
segregation decision, obligating
State and local governments to
“take steps toward the elimination
of segregation in their public
schools" and authorizing "federal”
bribes to complying school dis
tricts; (4) authorizes reclaiming of
“federally" aided schools for use of
children of servicemen m areas
where public schools are closed to
avoid integration; and (5) sets up
an FEPC to control employment
policies of government contractors
and to set the groundwork for doing
likewise in private industries not
executing government contracts.
It is thus easy to see the “voting
rights” fraud that the “civil right-
ers" are trying to pull on the Ameri
can eople and ram through our
band of 18 Southern Senators
Even the two sections on voting
are not necessary, wise, nor in the
best interest of preserving the dir
vision of powers between the Na
tional and State governments. There
are already more than ample laws
and court decisions to protect the
privilege of voting-*-and it is a
privilege rather than a right be
cause in order to vote one must be
qualified, else we would have imbe
ciles. lunatics, criminals, illiter-
atee, non-residents, etc., determin
ing the outcome in some elections.
Our Founding Fathers, in their in
finite wisdom, realized that quahfi^k
cations would have to be establish
ed for voting, and they left to the
States, in an effort to vet* this re
sponsibility as close to the people
as possible, the right to set voter
qualifications
Regardless of what compromise
may be advanced in the “civil
rights” extended debate—and they
will com**—the only complete vic
tory I can count for the South, and
ultimately the nation, is no hill it
all. Toward this end I pledge my ut
most efforts.

ritual that comes at ths end of
“God bless Mommy and v !
Peter and Kitty Kat add my bine teddy
bear.”
To a child, there la no reason why God
should not bless also n crumpled and
slightly soiled teddy bear, and n pot bitty.
For God is goodness and love aad htadnsas
and tolerance ... not perhaps in fhoas
words, but in the feeUng this child has as
she says her prayers.
Prayer, to the child who has been
taught to pray, is a natural thing. It
should be as much a part of everyday fife
as eating and sleeping and playing. To
pray for what is good ... to give thanks
Tor what one has is an all-important step
in that all-important right direction on
