It is outrageous that a builder should not be able to sell his proerty to anyone he wishes. He should not be com pelled to sell it to a person he may regard as undesirable or unsuitable to neighbors. It used to be that a citizen had a right to help build the kind of neighborhood he wanted, but the Kennedy administration is des troying that right. It now is clear that Big Governirient will” decree who is to live in a particular neighborhood. Not only are the Kennedys manipulating the law to force integration in schools, but they are demanding inte grated housing. Who can honestly say that is it American fon government bur eaucrats in Washington to decide who are to be the neighbors of the Smiths and Joneses of Ameri ca? It is the Russian pattern of living that the New Frontier is copying. In Russia, government determines where people live and who is to share apartments or other dwellings. That is the direc tion we are going, as President Kennedy’s edict plainly reveals. It is not hard for a country to depart from the ways of good government. Americans have al ways defined good government as a government of laws, not of men, of constitutional rights and legal statutes, not pf' executive whims. No matter how hard the Ken nedy administration may try to Justify the housing order, it can not say that it is charatHeristic of a government of laws. , New Frontiersmen believe they are above the Constitution and the statutes. They believe they possess a higher authority—the general will—as backing for their high-handed decrees. Such be liefs and such actions are what characterise a well-known mod- r ern type of government: dictator ship. ' ert Patterson will have a birth- Patterson was a new' day January 28.

A generation, even a decade ago, few citizens of the United States would have been so bold as to predict that any President would attempt to govern in this fashion. Yet this is what happened in November when President Ken nedy issued his edict banning discrimination” in federally- assisted housing. What he ban ned, of course, is not discrimina tion but the seller’s freedom to dispose of his property as he pleases. Behind this presidential edict is no warrant from Congress. As a matter of fact, Congress, on six separate occasions, refused to enact such a ban. Despite the fact that the edict is without con gressional authority, the Presi dent warns that those who dis obey will be subject to “such civil or criminal action” as the Attorney General (his brother) may deem appropriate.” Is this America? Thoughtful citizens will ask that question and wonder what has happened to this republic in the light of this presidential action that can only be described as dictatorial. The edict is sweeping in nature. It threatens every builder or any one financially associated with a builder who does not wish to sell proerty to anyone who applies. The caution with which some segments of* the home-building industry have greeted the presi dential edict is evidence that It has resulted in what Mr. Ken nedy wanted—namely fear. It is a tragic and ugly thing that one man should be able to usurp the law of the land, to act as imperial legislator as well as chief executive. Senator John Stennis of Mississippi rightly describes the edict as “audacious usurpation of power.” Senator A. Willis Robertson of Virginia has correctly called it “unconstitu tional.” The effect of the edict will be sweeping. It is esttmated that a quarter of all new home con struction in the United States in volves FHA financing. More over, though a builder may chief ly rely on conventional financing of homes, if he has only one piece of property that is FHA-financed, and that is no^offered to Negro Dear Moma, '-vwr....,,,,,,, ^ * .
