The one-worlders proclaim that segregation is “im moral.” In our modern One-World, race consciousness shows moral immaturity, the collectivists tell us. They remind me of the man who divorced his wife because she was immature. He told the judge: “She’d barge into the bathroom while I was taking a bath and sink all my boats.” The “Civil Rights” bill is a blank check for dictatorship which cancels most of the major indiv- idaul freedoms guaranteed by what our collectivists call our “out-of-date” constitution. That great American, Strom Thurmond calls the bill “the biggest grab for power in the history of Con gress.” Business will be required to go out and recruit Negroes or Pro testants or Catholics or Jews to j rnanr * s complete integration of all end any “racial imbalance” or j areas surrounding our military es- “religious imbalance,” at any and 1 L ^* ls ^ rne . n 7 s ’ including barring every level, found by federal in- operation in making the contest a big success again this year.

Farmers who refuse to correct the racial “imbalance” of their work force yvill be excluded from every direct and indirect “federal benefit.” It is not clear whether this means the right to use federal highways and to get Rural Free Delivery mail. Every previous act of Congress providing or authorizing “direct or indirect financial assistance for or in connection with any pro gram or activity by way of grant, contract, loan, insurance guaranty or otherwise” is cancelled. All “establishments” where a substantial portion of the goods sold or used, or whose customers served have traveled in “inter state commerce,” are prohibited from “discrimination.” This in cludes virtually every establish ment, even Bobby Baker’s apart ments for deserving secretaries. Every person or corporation pay ing a license tax to the state be comes subject to federal regula tion under the 14th Amandment. The bill eliminates all literacy tests for voting in all elections, in cluding primaries. It violates the seniority rights of all employees, from military functions white girls who refuse to dance with Negroes. The Gesell Report does not state, however, whether the girls have to dance with Yarmo linsky. Any editor, radio or TV an nouncer who denounces or denies or attempts to deny any person any right or privilege granted by the bill is subject to fine and im prisonment. And so is a soap box or civic club speaker Avho advoc ates segregation. But it is permissible, if you are a Negro, to force your way into a restaurant and use the floor as a toilet, as Negro civil rioters did in Atlanta recently. In today’s | America such obscenities go un punished—if you are a negro. But a young patriot who spit on Adlai Stevenson in Dallas faces a possible two-year prison sent ence. Now I certainly don’t con done spitting. It is not gentle manly to spit—especially on a lady. And certainly it is imma ture to spit on anybody. Adlai deserves something better than spi t—retirement.

Wells was a charter mem ber of Trinity Lutheran church and a member of the Men’s Bible Class. He was instrumental in the organization of the church in 1909 w'hen there was no Lutheran church in Greenville. He served as the first superintendent of the Sunday school, a position he h-Jd until 1916. He had served on the ■ church council and as vice presid- | ent many times and was an hon orary member of the council at the time of his death. He was also a member of Wal den Masonic Lodge 247. His vrife ,Mrs. Etolia Newman Wells, died many years ago. Survivdng are two daughters, Mrs. Ina Galloway of Greenville and Mrs. Joseph C. King of Rock Hill; a son, Henry B.
