SOUTH WINS SEVERAL
BATTLES
During the past week, the
South has won several battles on
the floor of the senate. We have
succeeded in greatly weakening H.
R. 6127, the so-called civil rights
bill.
Two important amendments
have been approved by the Sen
ate. One of these amendments
removed the old Reconstruction
Period provision for the use of
military forces to carry out the
civil rights laws. The other amend
ment of great importance was one
to strike out Part 3 of the bill.
This was approved by a vote of
52 to 38- and was a major victory
for those of us who are fighting
against passage of this bill.
Part 3 would have permitted the
Attorney General to use the power
of civil injunctions in school- seg
regation cases and in other cases
in which violations of civil rights
laws were charged.
HARD FIGHT STILL FACED
However, we still face a hard
fight against the other provis
ions of the bill. It is becoming
more and more difficult to hold
the support of many Senators who
supported the South on earlier
votes. It remains to be seen
whether they will continue to do
so on jury trial and other vital
points which must be settled.
We are trying to amend the
bill in every way possible to weak
en its effects. After that we will
try with all our might to defeat
the entire bill. I have said that
no civil rights bill will be accept
able to me. That is still my posi
tion.
However, it would be foolish not
to amend the bill in every way
possible, because if the radicals
and liberals should succeed final
ly in forcing through a bill, we
want it to be the least effective
measure possible. Efforts to
amend the bill are in no wise an
admission that some form of civ
il rights legislation will be pass
ed; it is simply getting all the in
surance we can in advance against
the possibility of such an evil day.
NO GUARANTEE YET OF
JURY TRIALS
As it now stands, the bill has
no provision for trial by jury of
cases involving contempt proceed
ings growing out of charges that
some person has been deprived of
his voting rights. The bill still
contains a provision for the estab
lishment of a new civil rights di
vision in the Department of Jus
tice, with an additional Assistant
Attorney General to handle such
cases.
To me the potentially most dan
gerous of all—since Part 3 has
been cut out—is Part 1 of the bill,
still untouched, and providing for
a Commission to investigate civil
rights matters.
This Commission would have the
power to subpoena witnesses to
appear before it and testify. It
would also have the authority to
go into a federal court and secure
an order to force a person to ap
pear before the Commission. If the
witness failed to comply with the
order, he would be subject to be
ing put in jail without the right
to a trial by jury.
COMMISSION COULD INTIMI
DATE SCHOOL OFFICIALS
Since the duties of the Commis
sion would consist of studying and
collecting “infdrmation concern
ing legal developments constitut
ing a denial of equal protection
of the laws under the Constitu
tion,” it could use this power to
try to meddle with our public
schools—to intimidate school offi
cials.
Still another vicious provision
of Pai’t 1 would permit the Com
mission to use voluntary and un
compensated persons to perform
the work of the Commission.
Of course, the only persons who
would want to work free would be
members of such organizations as
the NAACP and the ADA. I
feel sure there would be more
than enough volunteers of this

Commission, no doubt at the same
time receiving pay from the
NAACP and being bound to car

Their purpose would be to
bring about the mixing of the
races—not to report the real
progress that is being made.
H. R. 6127 LIKE MANY
HEADED MONSTER
So, there is much yet to be done
on this so-called civil rights bill,
H. R. 6127. It is like a many
headed monster. You cut off one
head and another turns to seize
you. The only way to prevent our
selves from being, injured by the
civil rights monster is to defeat
it entirely. That is what my col
leagues of the South and I are
striving to do.

YOUR MAYOR
FOR ANOTHER TERM
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE
VOTERS OF NEWBERRY:
-a 1 '” $.**'!
$1
One of my opponents persists in making public statements
which do not reflect Newberry’s present circumstances exactly
as they are. •» ||g|
As your Mayor, I beleive it is my place to clear up any false
impressions which m*y have been created.
IMl
m .
There has been some talk of homes and people being jeopard
ized by excessive taxes—by taxes which might have bpen lessen
ed. /
I have said it before, I will say it again, NEWBERRY’S
TAXES ARE THE LOWEST IN THE ENTIRE STATE OF
SOUTH CAROLINA, and if any Newberrian can show me
that our taxes are jeopardizing him and that he doesn’t get
sufficient services in return for his tax dollar—and is willing
to give me a sworn statement to that effect—I will see to it
personally that his taxes are paid for him.
\
COULD ANYTHING BE FAIRER THAN THAT?
,Now, about Exhibit B of the audit prepared by E. L. Mc
Gowan, C. P. A., on September 30, 1956 . . . my opponent has
said -he has only been in Newberry 26 years. I don’t know
exactly when the Exchange Bank closed, but I have been told
it was more tfcan 30 years ago.
Another thing, That money in the now-closed bank was not
Council’s. It was money of the Newberry Bond Commission.
I don’t even know who were on Council when the Exchange
Bank closed, or who were oiir Bond Commissioners. Be that
as it may, it wasn’t the fault of the Council then, and it cert
ainly isn’t the fault of the members of the present Council or
Newberry’s present Mayor.
State law provides that full explanation must be made con
cerning the expenditure of all money paid in by taxpayers.
The money must be carried on the books until disposed of
leagally.We cannot dispose of money on deposit in the closed
Exchange Bank until final settlement is made by its receivers.
ABOUT TRAVELING EXPENSES
t
I went to a municipal meeting at Myrtle Beach because I
was told that it was advisable for me to go, to represent New
berry and its people. When I came back, I returned to the
City Treasurer expense money I had left—$28—from the $60
appropriated in the budget.
Now a word as to traveling expenses *in the year 1955, the
year prior to my taking office as Mayor. That year the budget
for traveling expense was $650.00, while the clerk’s records
show that a total of $1,420.67 was spent.
ABOUT THE NATURAL GAS AUTHORITY . . .
My opponent, or whoever is doing his writing for him, has
said that the Mayor and two members of Council permitted
the operational end of the Gas Authority to move to Clinton
without offering opposition.
I definitely opposed the move at a meeting of the Author
ity Feb. 21, 1957, and made it a point to ask the Board why
headquarters couldn’t be moved to Newberry instead of Clin
ton, if it has to be moved at all. I was told that since Clinton
is nearer the gas transmission line at Fountain Inn, that it
would be more economical to operate from there.
Also, I, your present Mayor, cast the only dissenting vote
against the move. Minutes of the meeting can be inspected
for verification of this fact.
The entire Authority office has not moved to Clinton. The
operations center has been moved there, but the billing, audit
ing and collecting is done right here in Newberry. The people
of Newberry will get the same service now and in'the future
that they have been getting all along.
My opponent has said he does not want to put Mr. Wallace
on the spot, because he is a good fellow. Well, I want to soy
this—if you get a fellow like Mr. Wallace on a spot, he is man
enough to get out of it.
So far, that is the only point on which I and my opponent
seem to agree—that Mr. Wallace is a good, Christian gentle
man.
My opponent knows I am the one he will have to beat in
this election, and he knows he stands only a slim chance of
doing it.
I urge you, on Tuesday, August 6, to come out and vote for
a man who has never been tied to anyone and who has always
run his own race.
You won’t go wrong leaving the name of Cecil E. Kinard on
your ballot.
Cecil E. Kinard
