THE "SPECTATOR S” COLUMN “Tuesday we noticed that FBI agents were studying files relat ing to private schools. Our curios ity being aroused, we asked the purpose of this search and re ceived civil but non-committal answers. A check with neighbor ing newspapers indicated that the search was similar and simultan eous throughout the region. One does not have to be a gift ed detective to surmise the reason back of this interest in private schools. Someone in Washington has instructed the FBI to assign its agents to this subject as a part of the ‘civil rights’ movement. Their time—normally devoted to running down criminals and other useful work for the public inter est—is being utilized for investi gation of a subject heretofore held in general esteem, but above all as a private concern of the pro prietors and clients of the schools. What possible interest could the federal government have in pri vate schools of the South? (We are assuming, without even troub ling to inquire, that no such search is in progress in the North.) Ag ain we rely on surmise in seeking a reason. In our opinion, the fed eral government is determined to discourage development of private schools in the South as a refuge for white children whose parents do not wish to send them, for racial or other reasons, to predominant ly Negro public schools. Whether the government has legal power to interfere with pri vate schools is another question. We shall not attempt to answer it today. The use of FBI agents as inves tigators for legal action to inte grate private schools to us would be regrettable—and we are using th rt most restrained term that comes to mind.” I have quoted from the great morning daily of Charleston, The News and Courier. I had heard of this from a cit izen who expressed indignation. Frankly I may speak as a law yer and say that the Federal gov ernment has no right or reason to investigate the private schools or those who send children to private schools. There is no legal authority to prevent the colored citizens from organizing and maintaining private schools, if they should care to do so. And, by the same token, there is no legal authority or justification for meddling with or investigating private schools organized and maintained by white citizens. I have had an unusual exper ience in a somewhat • analogous case. As Director General in Peru, all Government schools were • di rectly under my office;, and all private schools and colleges op erated by license of my office, though we did not examine the patrdns. That general authority Included The Catholic University of Lima and The Nonnal school ol the Ursuline Mothers. But Peru is a far cry from the U. S., yet I never dreamed of investigating the patrons of private schools and colleges. I am amazed at this development in “The Land of the Pilgrim’s Pride.” My thoughts roam about and I find myself wondering. Will our government send FBI specialists to investigate our churches on the eve of calling pastors; or will it investigate the Ministers? ceeded his trading limits, acting on his own initiative and without authorization.” “As the world witnesses this summer’s display of outer apace spectaculars, a small group of Commerce Department planners may begin to glimpse a bit more, clearly a spectacular vision^ of their own right here on. earth— or more precisely, beneath the earth’s surface. . - • They hope to offer a basic ad vance in inter-city transportation, especially for travelers who, must cope with the jammed highways and congested airports that threat en mobility in the nation’s most populous area: The northeast cor ridor that extends from N.ew Eng land to Virginia and houses more than a fifth of the nation’s pop ulation. Peer into the future some ten years hence: In an underground Boston station, a businessman boards a Washington-bound train of bullet-shaped vehicles which ride on air. Leaving tfcne- the train accelerates smoothly to a speed of 400 miles.pec-.Jmpr.. The train may travel all the way in a specially built tunnejj or if it comes to the surface, i| vjhiz along through ground-level tu&es. Passengers bound for Providence, Hartford or New York sit in special cars that are peeled off at the intermediate stops by el ectronic conrtols without slowing the train. In less than two hours the Boston businessman arrives in Washington—a trip that now takes more than eight hours. Only time is capable of separat ing the optimism from the reality of this estimate. What is very real is the conviction of Mr. Nelson, Mr. Seifert and others tha^ Bos- ton-to-Washington ground travel in less than two hours, far from any ‘pipe dream,’ is ‘technologi cally foreseeable,’ The problem is to select the right kind of sys tem—‘judging the jump’ as Mr. Seifert call it. ‘What we’re hop ing for is a major jump’ he says. ‘We want to select a method that could be constructed at a reason able cost in a reasonable time to satisfy demand for enough into Because of this illegitimate 14th Amendment, the States of the Union have now lost their historic Constitutional power to regulate elections, along with the right and duty to register and qualify their voters. Perhaps the most far-reaching and important of these rulings of the Supreme Court, is the recent one based on the 14th Amendment that each State is required to re district and reapportion both houses of its legislature on a one- man^ one-vote population basis, regardless of a contrary direction by the people of the State. T\yenty-six states have now pe titioned Congress to call a Cons titutional convention to reverse this undemocratic one-man, one- vote ’ ruling, and Congress is de bating the proposal of a new Constitutional Amendment to change this strange and sudden judicial extension of the old Am endment, the 14th, so-called, which has no legitimate existence. ' In the meantime, give some study to this trend and see for yourself whether or not you are ready to trade the entire Consti tution for the current construc tions of the 14th Amendment.

Or are the labors arid sac rifices of our American patriots now just a memory, a sort of Fourth of July flourish? In all seriousness I call upon Congress of the United States to curb the Executive and to re-as- sure the citizens of our Nation that we still enjoy all the freedom won by our ancestors? “First National City Bank di vulged details of foreign exchange transactions in its Brussels branch that caused the bank a $4 million loss, first reported last month.

A century ago, plus a few months, the bitter and bloody war between the states had just ended and Lincoln had been inaugurated for the second time as President oT'fhe United States. The domin ant wing of Lincoln’s political par ty in Congress was bent upon re venge against the defeated Con federates. These Representatives and Senators had had the halls of Congress to themselves during the war while the seats of eleven. Con federate .states were empty. In ’65, northern Congressional politicians wer£ horrified at the prospect that all of these empty seats might soon be filled with decisive votes again,st their vindictive plans to “reconstruct” the South. But Lincoln’s second inaugural address showed that he proposed to bind up the Nation’s wounds with “malice toward none and with charity for all.” If Lincoln had : lived to carry out his charit able! plan we would now be spared the jgrowing pains of the said 14th Ami mdment. L ncodn had made some pro gress for the reconstruction Of the Untyn before his second inaugura- tioni In March of 1864, a Louisia na State government was estab lishing to supersede the Union Army’s military rule. On February 16, “1865, the newly constituted Louisiana legislature ratified the T3th Amendment which abolished slavery. At that time there were thirty- six states, including the eleven southrn States. Ratification of this proposed Amendment by the legislatures of 3-4 of these 36 ^States was required. On Decem ber 18, 1865, the Secretary of State announced and certified that 27 states had ratified the 13th Amendment and it was thereafter a part of the Constitution. Eight wbf 4he 27 states so ratifying the endment, t were former Gen erate State's Which were offici- acknowldged to have been ly reconstructed, with legiti- legislattires. hen the 14th Amendment was proposed, the * then --. President on opposed it because of" its terms, and he encouraged the Southern States to refuse to y it, and ten of them did do. out' the ten States necessary of the then 37 States could obtained. But Congress was be thwarted, and in 1867 it d the Reconstruction Act t swept away the existing so- “unlawful” governments in n Southern States and plac- ese States under military ile. The Act provided that this situation would remain until these ten States provided new Constitu tions which would give suffrage TO TRADE OR NOT TO TRADE The U. S., if it does not ap proach the problem with more wariness, may get rooked in in creasing ways * by international Communism in the matter of for eign trade. We live in an age in which the industrial nations as well as the commodity producers require foreign trade to exist eco nomically. The Soviet Union to some extent is finding that a clos ed society is not entirely practica ble when it comes to the process of buying and selling. Yet, even though their delegations are bar gaining throughout the free world their Iron Curtain is far from breached because of it. Some of our allies are enjoying a brisk business with our common enemy. It is reported that 42 per cent of shipping to North Viet nam in a recent period was done in British bottoms, and other free nations have been doing most of the rest. But we can hardly com plain to friendly nations dealing with Castro and Ho Chi Minh, when we ourselves have not ceas ed trading with the Communist bloc. These nations have vowed to destroy us and occasionally show that they mean it by blow ing up our embassies and shooting our boys. Some of our own busi ness organizations seem to think they can defeat Communism by co-existers obviously want the U. S. to make strong the miserable economies of the Communist bloc, with the false hope that when they reach maturity they will cease their efforts to destroy us and dominate the world. But we must let the Russians themselves take the lead in opening their closed society, a process in which little progress has come about so far. U.S. taxpayers must not be caught subsidizing Red trade or allow our businessmen to do it. Since we are already spending more than $50 billions a year to protect our selves with military might from these very people, why not be a bit consistent? Freedom and Trade this A policy of restraint in matter is not inconsistent with our general purposes of free trade. We may well be worried today about various artificial bar riers that increasingly darken the prospects of the free-market sys tem. One of the worst is inflation that brings restrictions, agree ments, and other protectionist de vices of one kind or another. Some of the less developed na tions are exploring regressive pol icies, and a few look even to the political nostrums of socialism or communism while clinging to their nationalism. There are no econo mic reasons why these nations should accept socialism. We must encourage them to keep the kind of enterprise, incen tive, market economy that built America. It can also build the have-not nations. Instead of spend ing their energy and efforts in trying to grab wealth from other lands (and the U. S. pushing for- strengthening it with our trade. e jg n a jd in them), the smaller na- " nm ‘* rWM>l0 T, “' 1 'tions must start where they are u.s to examine this so-called, because the fact is that the 14th Amendment was never ratified by the required 3/4of* A . .. the duly constituted legttiteSV.S'SF* ^ Negroes, and only then the States ot the UnioM tf nd.,’ff‘ d T ‘ he 3 r be reived back into therefore, is’ not and never* nas ' mon ' been a valid part of thbOCjMfsIM ..When we remember that t h e Civil war was fought and won on the theory that the Confederate States could not legally secede, and that the 13th Amendment had been ratified by some of these same Southern legislatures that were now dissolved as “unlawful.” the picture begins to beclouded. So it came about that the States that could not get out of the Union, and which had ratified the 13th Amendment, were now re admitted to the Union, after per- f(Honing under duress the pres- precedent, namely, the rat- on of the 14th Amendment. ‘ ~«iT ■urlrcTr* tution. However, notwithstanding'their sinister origin, the modern prolif erations of the 14th Amendment have all but pushed the main body of our authentic- Constitu tion out of the sight of our Su- preme Court.

It makes no sense to let the Reds in on our production know-how, especially when it involves stra tegic matters. It is not selfishness or bad manners to refuse to deal with a gangster who has guns in your back around the world. Evi dence of good faith should be a requirement, not some nebulous statement from a Senator about building bridges. The government itself has been far from guiltless. The Wheat deals with Moscow were scandal ous enough, but how the Secretary of Commerce talks of eliminating entirely the restrictions on selling strategic goods to the Red bloc. While it is true, again, that our allies take advantage of our ad herence to export controls (West Europe having sent $32 billions of critical items to Sino-Soviet countries from 1952 to 1962), we are not gaining in our race with Communism if we lift them out of the mire of socialism to which they insist they will reduce us. Trade and Tensions The Administration’s encourag ement of American-Soviet trade delegations, of councils for trade proposals, of “peace-with-profits” co-existence, should all be chal lenged warily by the American people. „ ^ . At any rate, the cooperators and and progress according to their own work and purpose.
