THE “SPECTATOR’S” COLUMN William Jennings Bryan Dorn is a statesman and repre sents a district from South Carolina in the Congress of the United States. Mr. Dorn did me a favor by sending a copy of the speech by Representative Louis C. Wyman of New Hampshire. I quote it in part. Mr. Dorn regards this as the ablest speech on the subject he heard in Congress. “Mr. Wayman. Mr. Speaker, there is no need for all the troubles we are having throughout America with civil rights. Negroes and whites can get along together in this Nation. They wan to. The vast majority of our citizens of whatever color feel this way. They resent the violence, the bloodshed, the hatreds and the distortions that are the trade mark of extremist groups og both races. What then is the difficulty ? It is that the present administration and its immediate predecessor have deliberately injected race relations into the political arena. The President of the United States seeks pol itical gain by supporting this unsound and unconstitutional legislation. The civil rights bill now before us gives to the Federal government the power to deny important civil rights of all Americans. This civil rights bill is sloppy legislation. Its draftsman ship is poor, its meanings doubtful and its unconstitutional ity obvious in at least two titles. A vote for this bill, now 20 pages longer than the mon strosity that passed a submissive House on February 10, is not evidence of greatness of leaderhip. It is evidence of a demoralized congress. Voting for this bill and thus creating a Federal police state s an outrght surrender of the constitu tional rights of all Americans to freedom in their private lives. It is abject abdication of congressional responsibility to preserve and protect the constitutionally required Federal- State balance in the face of political pressures such as Con gress has never faced before; and knowing that the U. S. Supreme Court has, by its decisions, tortured the Constitu tion out o fall rational historical proportion in disregard of the will of Congress and the intent of the Founding Fathers in the fields of law enforcement, sedition, religion, appor tionment, civil rights, and what have you. Only Congress re mains to protect the constitutional rights of our people. A vote for this legislation is not a vote to be proud of, for it is a vote to undermine the Constitution of the United States. Perhaps in November the voters will elect a Congress with a majority that will stand firmly for upholding the clearly written mandates of the Constitution of the United States, even if the Supreme Court of the United States does not do so. Then perhaps at long last we can start this Nation on the governmental road upward from the depths of the near anarchy that judicial license and congressional indif ference have ler us into at this hour, tow r ard a stable consti tutional government once again. Perhaps all this is too much to hope for, but it is certainly something worth fighting for. Stripped of its political hyprocrisy, this bill is a naked grasp for extreme Federal power over private business and lives of private citizens in the several states. In respect to public accommodations and equal employment opportunity, there is not single w r ord in the Constitution to support such Federal control. This legislation, in the name of civil rights, takes more civil rights away from all Americans than it confers on any minority group. I regard this as a clear statement of Constitutional rights in a day of nebulous thinking or wishful dreaming. The greatest menace to us Americans is the arrogant presump tion of the Supreme Court of the United States. i REV. SIS.

Box 944 Look for White Sign with Black Lettering : THE : MANION \ : FORUM ; If you are wondering what is wrong with the education your children are getting in our public schools, you can find a lot of answers by reading some of the text books which are the basis of their education. Some time ago a textbook evaluation committee organized by a group know nas “America’s Future, Inc.” did just this and they discovered some alarming facts about these books and the effect they are having upon our children’s education. For example, a number of graduating seniors in a leading State University, who were majoring in education, and were ready to go out to teach children, were asked what they knew about the United States Constitution. Some of the answers were: “I know that a copy used to hang in every school room, but I never read it. I think ten men signed it.” “The framing of the Constitution was in the 1880’s.” A lextbook on American history widely used, stated: “No other President in American history has every earned the epithat—despot, tyrant, dictator, more justly than Lincoln did between April and July, 1861.” The tendency, and obviously the purpose of this type of education of our very young, is to downgrade our great he roes and to impress upon them the need for a world govern ment. In the evaluation of some 300 textbooks used in public schools, less than a fourth of them qualified by the com mittee for adequate coverage of Americanism and private enterprise. Instead of giving these young citizens a solid background in the history and traditions of our own country, we find an increasing trend toward treating American history very lightly and laying heavy stress upon world history and world government. Such subjects as “Citizens of the World”; “World Citizenship”; “World Citizenship and Aspects of World Government’ are being taught in elementary and high school classes, which give very little time to the teaching of our own American Government and citizenship. Professors and instructors in colleges which prepare young people for the teaching profession do not always agree with the way they are being prepared, but they are helpless todo anything to oppose it. If they raise a voice in protest and if they insist upon giving “equal time” to instilling some patriotism and Americanism into the courses being taught these future teachers, they are usually relieved of their du ties or transferred to some other position where these theor ies will not reach the teaching profession. Most of the older people in this country were well trained in American history and we respected our heroes who made this country great and preserved is for the coming genera tions. It will take only one generation of citizens trained to downgrade all that our history has taught for many decades to bring us to the acceptance of a world government in place of our national sovereignty that we have so long cherished. That generation is being indoctrinated now and will soon have passed the point of re-education in our own important history. This is a not-so-secret weapon being used to accomplish a take over of America by our enemies without a single shot.

CORK Parr speaks on civil rights James Nance Parr, attorney of Newberry, was guest speaker when the Newberry County Med ical Auxiliary met at the home of Mrs. Gurnie Summer Monday with Mrs. Ralph Baker as hostess. Mrs. Kemper Lake, president, presided during the business session. A motion was made and carried that Auxiliary members collect drug samples to be sent to needy countries. This project has been carried out successfully by many Auxiliaries. The group also ad opted the project of making hos pital jackets from men’s worn shirts. The Newberry County Cancer Society has expressed a desire to have these shirts in their loan closet. Mrs. Baker, program chaorman, introduced Mr. and Mrs. Parr. Mr. Parr is a member of the law firm of Harley and Parr. The program was on legislation, and Mr. Parr chose as his subject the legisla tion which has been recognized as the greatest issue currently: “A Study of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.” Mr. Parr reviewed in detail each of the 11 titles of the Act, going more thoroughly into the sections popularly referred to as voting rights, desegregation of federally- assisted programs, public or tax- supported facilities, public educa tion equal employment opportun ity, desegregation of certain pri vately owned establishments pro viding accommodations to the public. Of special interest were those terms of the Act for various means of enforcement. In concluding the discussion, commenting on the importance of the legislation, Mr. Parr stated: “This legislation, more particularly those titles relating to privately- owned businesses and employment, is a basic departure from not only the concept of constitutional legal principles but from the prin ciples of the Common Law—that basic structure of law through which we have governed ourselves so that we may each be protected from the other; the framework of law and government which was calculated to assure to each in dividual the greatest measure of freedom. No one can comprehend what the final effect this act will have on individual freedom. There are those among its proponents who liken it to Magna Carta and Habeas Corpus. To me it is the antithesis of these and other historic Acts which laid the foun dation for and sought to preserve to each of us our fredom. When the ‘gives’ and ‘takes’ of this act are balanced one against the other it becomes a force-bill, not a free dom bill. There is no question that for certain groups it provides re lief; however, in my humble op inion, even as those who claim a gain, through the door which this Act has opened will march measures which will stamp out their gains and freedoms. It is an Act from whish we will all suffer in times to come.” At the conclusion of this very interesting program, Mr. and Mrs. Parr were guests of the Auxiliary at a delicious luncheon.

Many attracted to state parks COLUMBIA, Oct. 24—Fall color is attracting many visitors to state parks and other areas in the mountains of South Cai-olina, ac cording to State Park Director E. R. Vreeland. Nature is putting on a display of art and color in the mountains and piedmont, while at the sea shore “Indian Summer” is in evi dence. Frost and heavy rains in the mountains have caused many leaves to fall already, but visitors report that colors are quite vivid in some areas. Fishing is usually better in the fall months than at any other time of the year. Picnicking is partic ularly enjoyable on bright clear fall days, and the outdoor cooking fire is pleasant, with its warming glow. Food tastes better on a picnic any time of the year, but the fall weather makes it even more inviting. The fall months offer an ex cellent opportunity to get better acquainted with your state parks, and the park superintendents will have more time to devote to show ing you the parks and their fac ilities, said Mr. Vreeland.
