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

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.

Almost thou persuades! me to
be a Texan, J was ready to ex
claim when my friend Clark D.
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

rocking chair in his chicken yard,
surrounded by the chickens (real
chickens, now; don’t run away
with false ideas.)
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

think about: Some of our North
ern politicians might appropriate
ly buy land near Uvalde, eh?

SENATOR
STRO
HURMOND

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.
Sincerely,
HbCo+ru* "S&jULrvfYY^&nJt.
