THE “SPECTATOR’S” COLUMN I was in Charleston during one of the recent parades, now being called demonstrations. Just what is being demonstrated is a spirit of lawlessness and an effort to coerce the authorities by a show of force. I wish to discuss this matter theoretically founded in a consti tutional right. Before discussing the problem ae a matter of petition I make the point that it was a defiance of, constituted authority and a gross \ breach of the peace. No authority worthy of the title can sit by plac idly and allow such acts of law less n e Beginning with the attitude of President Kennedy and little bro ther Bob who are trying to brow beat the Congress into enacting an Act of Congress to compel merchants, restaurants, theatres, and other private enterprises, to serve any and everybody as a matter of right, regardless of the wish of the citizen owning and op erating the plant which is in open and plain and defiant repudiation of a Supreme Court decision in 1883 declaring unconstitutional ex actly such ap act of Congress. Sadly enough we have enough weak-kneed members^ of congress to bow down to Mr. Kennedy and Brother Bob, regardless of the Constitution or the inherent rights of citizenship. I must assume that neither President Kennedy nor Brother Bob knew of the decision of the great court of 1883, but there are scores of lawyers in the government service to tell the President the law. Of course I do not say that the decision of 1883 i( \ the law land, but the Kennedys have proclaimed the 1954 decision of the Warren Court as,-Xhe-Jaw-~»f - the land. Now, here is a pretty kettle of fish. Will the present Supreme Court folllow the Court of 1883, or will it bow before Mr. Ken nedy and say, by implication, that the Supreme law of the land is the whim of the Presi dent and Brother Bob and the great Court of today repudiates the great court of 1883 and the several other decisions of like import since then? Now then !! If we would respect the so-call ed demonstration by discussing it, let us read the Constitution, pro vided we care for the basic truth, even though I don’t know exactly what the so-called “demonstra tion” was “all about,” as we say, or what it hoped to accomplish— other than to terrify quiet, peace able citizens. The Constitution of the United States, Article 1 (the first Am endment) tells us: “Congress shall make no law respecting an estab lishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or ab ridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of peo ple peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” Let’s analyze that: “Congress shall make no law” in such case. What does the Constitution mean? One needs only a moderate prep aration to understand that the Great Court itself and the learned President and erudite Attorney General are at sea and virtually engulfed in the billows. It is the Congress which is en joined, not the States. Very clearly, specifically and unequi- vocably the heavy hand of inhi bition is here laid on the Con gress. Nothing here about the State of New York and the morning scriptural reading in the schools. What does the pro hibition mean? At that time our Episcopal brethren were not only the “Established church of England” and so known and still so; but in some Colonies it was “established.” That is it was the INSURED tfeNn VP TO <©Oiaooo^> CO?; BILLION DOLLARS Savings and loans assets of associations in the United States have grown 17 times since 1940. As sets of these associations now exceed 100 Billion. Over 33,000,000 people have savings accounts in the country’s savings associations and more than 10,000 new savings accounts are being added each working day. Savings associations are making more than 44% of all home loans in the United States — more than all other types of financial institutions combined. Open an account with us today.

HUFFMAN State church. In Maryland, if I recall, our Roman Catholic bre thren maintained the “Estab lished church.” Our Baptist Lutheran, Methodist, Presby terian brethren were not enthu siastic about that condition, nat urally; and there were many stalwart leaders who were not fervent in their attitude toward either a church or religion of any kind. So, then, the Article meant that the United States may not adopt and support the -Catholic church* or any other church hs a State church and support it by public taxation. That’s what the Consti tution clearly intended—to prohib it a State-supported church. It certainly did not mean or imply that we forsake the God of our fathers. Incidentally the Constitu tion of our State contains this same article, word for word. Now, let’s get to the milk ef the cocoanut: “the right of the people peacefully to assemble, and to petition the Government 1 for a redress of grievances. What is this? The Congress, mark you, is pro hibited, etc. Then the people re serve the right to assemble peace ably and to petition the Govern-. ment for a redress of grievan ces.” The idea here is that the people might meet in a hall or church or park, peaceably to petition, in quiet and orderly manner, etc. By no means does that give the right to parade over a city in riotous demonstrations trying to impose a wish on whom ? On v/hom ? I ask again. The whole purpose was to marshall enough people to terrify the politicians into such an attitude as to deny to quiet people the rights we seem to forget. The Constitution of South Car olina follows word for word the Constitution of the United States in the matter under discussion. The majesty of the law is some thing to keep in mind, although the attitude of the Kennedys seems to disregard the Constitu tion, the Acts of Congress and the decisions of the Supreme Court— except as the Kennedys give their endorsement to all such controls. Boiled down to essentials, it ap pears that this is a new day, a new era; and all things heretofore are hereby rescinded, abrogated, abolished and thrown into innoc uous desuetude, as Grover Cleve- ' land one said, in ponderous phrase. I lift my hat to the Governor of the State, the Mayor of Char leston, the Chief of Police and the members of the police force for taking positive action to maintain the peace and dignity of the city. Whether one is white or color ed, a segregationist or an inte- grationist, we must conduct our selves in peaceful and orderly manner. If a thousand white men should do as the colored people did the law would be enforced against them. If this sort of violence is permissible we might as well in vite the Ku Klux to make dem onstrations on the streets.

Waring told me of his trip out West. Friend Waring, known af fectionately as “Toots”, met me on the street in Columbia while just fresh and invigorated from a fine trip to California. It was while driving through Texas that Mr. Waring became a- ware that a traffic policeman was following, with horn blowing, lights flashing, and all that. Mr. Waring had been across th e Mexican border and had probably invested a few pesos in Mexican merchandise, because of which he had an unquiet, not to say nervous and apprehensive response to the tooting of the trooper’s signal. So, with perturbed spirit he asked what offense he had committed against the laws in such case pro vided and against the peace and dignity of the Sovereign State of Texas. Expecting to be searched he wa? amazed when the trooper said, “We treat one visitor each day to a tank of gasoline and if he comes at night we make him our guest in a. Motel.” Clark nearly fell in a faint, but recovered suf ficiently to carry on; and so con tinued to California. Just think of that! Those West- eners treated me well, some years ago. George. Brutsch of Sumter had organized an expedition to Los Angeles and I was one of the party. Going through El Paso I was in a radio station negotiating for the privileges of making sev eral radio recordings when the president of the station suddenly appeared and said “Let Mr. Bree- din make all the recordings he wishes.” Wasn’t that gracious? And in Los Angeles—though I did not meet any of the angels for whom the city was named (In Spanish Los Angeles means the angels) but regardless of the angels, I met a gracious gentle man, who invited me to make all the recordings in his studio in Hollywood. I did so, being there several hours, but not meeting a single star or starlet, nor even a married or divorced star. But wasn’t that a fine gentleman? On that Brutsch trip as we ap proached Uvalde, Texas, where we called on Ex-Vice President John N. Garner, who was sitting in a GREAT LAKES, ILL (FHTNC) —Ross D.

The truck which had followed us for some miles, upsetting us, just as Toots Waring was nervously expectant, came abreast of us in a filling station where we were in quiring for the road to the home of the grand old battler of Uval- do. The man in the truck called out “So you fellows are from South Carolina. Well I am, too from Spartanburg. I came here just after the first World War and made some money but I’m selling everything and going back to Spartanburg; I don’t mean to be buried in the black dirt of Uval de.” Well, that’s something to think about: Some of our North ern politicians might appropriate ly buy land near Uvalde, eh?

SENATOR STRO HURMOND Reports PEOPLE Test Ban Boogey Man RECENTLY, an AP news ar ticle quoted an “influential Re publican Senator” as stating about the proposed test ban treaty that “there are a number of risks involved that I don’t like to see us take as a nation,” adding, however, that “we can’t afford politically to vote against this treaty.” The unidentified Senator attributed this fear of opposing the treaty to what he termed the “mother vote” — women who are concerned that nuclear fallout might result in deformed children and who be lieve that the treaty may elim inate this supposed danger. It is almost incomprehensible that any Senator or group of Sen ators would let political consid erations influence their vote on a matter which carries such crucial implications for our na tional security. UNFORTUNATELY, the test ban issue will probably be de cided in the Senate more on the basis of emotional or political considerations than on the basis of the facts. This is so for sev eral reasons, primarily because the question of nuclear testing and technology is so highly technical and also is so highly classified for security—and po litical—purposes. Thus far, the public has mostly been subjected Uf the propaganda barrages of the Administration and those who have traditionally favored banning the bomb. The cry Is raised over and over of being either for peace or war or for being for or against polluting the lungs and lives of children. NO ONE is more concerned than I for protecting the health of our people. I have made a practice of following good health habits and have long ad vocated the same for everyone. Also, I have been through a great war, as have so many others, and so I’m not anxious to see another. However, we can’t compromise our security in dealing with people who have proved they can’t be trusted and who still maintain that they plan “to bury” us. THE OBSESSIVE fear of nu clear fallout has been fanned and ballooned by the commu nists for years, particularly when we had a monopoly in atomic power. As a result of deceit, theft of our atomic se crets, and dedication to the goal of “burying” us—together with some acts of treason and gross stupidity on our side—the USSR has gradually closed the gap in some areas of nuclear technol ogy. In fact, the Soviets have now forged ahead in some criti cal areas. What they need now is time to translate into weapon ry this technical knowledge gained from their 72 tests since breaking the 1958-61 morato rium. FROM UNCLASSIFIED sources there is an abundance of evidence which shows that continued testing will not have any perceptible effects on health. There is no question that a nu clear exchange would leave enough fallout to pose health hazards for that day and the future, but the treaty doesn’t propose to ban war, only test ing. SOME OF THE concern over radiation effects has been gen erated by two test “boo-boos” on our part in the mid-50’s. Now our bomb tests are relatively clean. In addition, man’s natur al environment will give him a 70-year dose of radiation 17 to S5 times greater than he will receive from fallout from all tests conducted through 1961. The Federal Radiation Council stated in effect in 1960 that fall out radioactivity would have to deliver doses hundreds of times greater than the present dose to produce detectable effects. HEALTH, LIFE, AND LIMB are much more threatened in our country today by auto accidents and other dangers which we seem to accept with relative calm. In fact, the author of the new book, NUCLEAR AM BUSH: TEST BAN TRAP, Mr. Earl Voss, points out that “this excursion into the basic science of radiation has shown that the health hazard of nuclear test fallout is trifling—3-5 per cent —compared to background ra diation hazards the world ac cepts without question.” Mr. Voss refers specifically to smoke stacks belching out millions of tons of suspected cancer agents and also to the fact that living in a brick home gives a person 20 times the radiation dose one gets from fallout. THE MEMBERS of the Sen ate have a duty to decide this vital issue of a test ban treaty only after studying all the facts and without resort to emotional or political considerations.
