have been ironed out in courts
of law. If anyone was denied
registration who wap entitled to
It, toe laws and the courts of
fered an abundance of protec
tion. If anyone was unjustly in
jured, the same courts and laws
were their protection.
But the agitators who ^master
minded the campaign in Ala
bama were not interested in se
curing rights. They were not
interested even in registering
certain individuals. Their inter
est, obviously, was in creating
trouble — in fomenting strife
that, in turn, would spark hys
teria from coast to coast. These
strategists of hysteria are vary
skillful, and they accomplished
what they set out to do. They
produced an electric reaction
from Boston to San Francisco.
Plane loads of ministers de
scended on once peaceful com
munities in Alabama. Two Ala
bama cities were presented as
theaters of war. Students at fa
mous universities were allowed
to leave their classrooms, put
aside«their books, and forget lab
oratory work, and rush off to
demonstrate in Alabama.
In the nation’s capital, toe an
archists had a field day. Only
a few months 'kgo the govern
ment and the press were deeply
concerned over added security
for the President. Mr. Johnson
reviewed the inaugural parade
from behind a shield of bullet
proof glass. But in the scenes of
frenzy and beatnik civil disobe
dience, sit-in artists were allow
ed to invade the White House.
They were permitted to camp
out on the sidewalk in front of
that famous dwelling. Their sup
posed “right of assembly” was
given precedence over the right
of all other citizens. No one
else would have been allowed to
lie down in a White House cor
ridor or pitch camp in front of
a govemrrfent building. The nor
mal business of government was
crudely and rudely disrupted by
the agitators.
Over all these recent acticuis
is. a deep layer of hypocris$.
From Chicago, where the crime
syndicates have operated a State
within a state for decades, came
more than 50 clergymen.
- Into Alabama poured clergy
from New York State. They went
to Albania to protest toe death
of a Boston area minister who
had gone where he had no legi
timate ministry.
In the. same week, in New
York City, thert was a brutal
murder of a 17-year-old white
youth by four Negro youths in
the Manhattan subway.. But no
one marched in New York City.
No students camped outside New
York’s City Hall. No one de
manded that federal troops be
sent to New; York or that the
New*' York National Guard be
federalized to protect protesters
walking through Harlem. The
double-standard prevailed
throughout much of the nation.
And what was behind the drive
in Alabama? Rowland Evans
and Robert Novak, senior cor
respondents for The New York
Herald Tribune, candidly report
ed that the principal agitation
group in selma had been infil
trated by “beatniks, left-wing
revolutionaries and — worst of
all — by communists.”
This grim period of national
hysteria, which has caused the
Johnson administration to try to
virtually lynch six Southern
states, is a classic of revolution
ary warfare. Lenin would smile
and approve of what has happen
ed. The greatest country in the
world, with important business
to transact, has been turned up
side-down by street demonstra
tors who know how to create
phony martyrs and how to
plunge quiet, comfortable com
munities into scenes from a
Russian novel of revolution.
The crisis in Alabama was a
synthetic crisis, created for the
purpose of promoting strife. The
nation was tricked into stum
bling into an emotional trap. Un
less it can regain its sanity and
prevent future attacks of hyster
ia, there’s no telling what will
happen to the republic.
Socwl Security
Prompt and accurate report-
S of net earnings was describ-
today as “the only way to
assure social security protec
tion in future ygprs for self-em
ployed people.”
In a Joint notice to self-em
ployed people, Miss Martha
Pressly, social security district
manager, and William G. West,
Jr., designated representative
of Internal Revenue, advised
that the 1964 federal income tax
returns (Form 1040) must be
filed on or before April 1, 1965.
Mr. West stated that a self-
employed person must file a
tax return and pay the self-em
ployment tax if net earnings for
the year were at least $400,
even if no income tax is pay
able.
Miss Pressly reminded self-
employed persons that any old-
age, survivors, and disability
insurance benefts payable to
them and their families will be
based on reported earnings.
If earnings are not reported
or if they are incorrectly re
ported, benefit amounts may be
reduced—in some cases lost en
tirely—when the worker retires,
becomes disabled, or dies.
To illustrate the importance
of reporting self-employment
earnings, Miss Pressly cited
the case of a young farmer
with a large family.
When self-employed farmers
were first brought under social
security in 1955 Jim was too
busy to give much thought.to
it. He had his farm chores and
a new baby in the family.
Jim thought of social security
as something for older people
like Jenkins, his neighbor, who
was drawing old-age insurance
benefits for 30 years of work as
a machinist. Jim thought he
could wait a bit before looking
into this social security busi
ness.
Jim changed his mind and
decided to look into this “busi
ness” after a speaker at his lo
cal farm association explained
social security’s survivors ben.
jrfits. It reminded him of his
wife and small son.
He filed an income tax re
turn and paid the social se
curity tax for 1958. Profits
were' small that year. He also
filed and paid for 1959, 1960,
and 1961, but profits were a
little better. But then Jim lost
his health; late in 1962 he died.
Jim’s widow applied for so
cial security for herself and the
child. These benefits are now
helping her to hold on to toe
farm. When Jim’s son grows up
he will be ^ble to take over the
farm as his dad intended-
thanks to Jim’s foresight in
protecting his family through
social security.
House Fire KHIs
Negro Near Owings
Owings—A 26-year-old Laurens
County Negro was burned to
death Saturday in an early
morning blaze that destroyed a
three-room frame tenant house
where he lived on the C. B. Ow
ings farm about three-quarters
of a mile north of here.
Laurens County Sheriff R. Eu
gene Johnson identified the vic
tim as J. B. Searles, Jr. Searles’
sister, Lona M. Hudgens, 2$,
and Oscar Barksdale, 20, escap
ed from the burning house
through a window after they
were awakened about 12:45 a.
m. by the smoke and flames.
Sheriff Johnson said.
The pair said they were un
able to reach Searles, who was
sleeping on a couch In another
room, and could not arouse him
with their shouts, the sheriff
said.
Cause of the fire had not been
determined but it apparently
started in the kitchen, Johnson
said. The Gray Court fire de
partment sent a truck to the
scene to cool the embers and
remove Searles’ body.
Coroner Marshall
empaneled a Jury but did
schedule an inquest.
