STOP IT NOW!
As is pointed out in the
following message from FBI
Director J. Edgar Hoover, cer
tain elements in the nation are
seeking to have all law enforce
ment agencies placed under the
federal government—a national
police force.
This would be the last step
in plans for a bloodless take
over of tnis country by the
communists.
I suppose I should watch the
news on television so I will
know what is going on, but I
cringe as I watch the traitors
of this country carry on their
treason in the name of the
Almighty, as witness the rab
ble-rousing clergy in a Presby
terian Church in Washington
loudly cheering that notorious
agitator of violence, Martin
Luther King.
The clergy and the univer
sity professors have done un
told damage to this country,
but the public remains apathe
tic. If we allow this national
police force, we may as well
say goodbye to the* few free
doms we have left.
Following is Mr. Hoovers
message.
Man cannot live in our com
plex society today without a
.system of laws. The system is
doomed unless the laws are en
forced. and the enforcement
officer i- ineffective unless his
efforts to maintain the peace
and protect life and property
are supported by the govern
ment and the people.
Th destruction of law en
forcement, particularly at the
local level, appears to be a
prime objective of some dissi
dent groups and individuals in
our country. While they have
made no appreciable headway,
they are creating such a smoke
screen of harassment and in
timidation that enforcement of
the law is becoming an over
whelming burden for many
agencies.
In some areas, the doctrine
of dissent is bordering on a
doctrine of nihilism. Since local
law enforcement represents the
first line of defense of our
social order, it becomes a t-ri-
mary target of those who chal
lenge established authority .Re
gardless of the cause tin y sup
port, many groups seek alter
cations with local police to gain
publicity and sympathy, t onse-
quently, m this rebellious cli
mate, law enforcement must not
only (ope with an alarming and
increasing crime problem but
mu.^t also defend its very ex-
i: teiice.
I'urrently, there is a move
tu have Federal courts take
o\ei certain local police de
partments and supervise their
operations. According to this
i nliculous plan, the courts would
place ;
i polic
e department
m
1 eceive
rship
and appoint
a
.- penal

ter" with full
ad
mmist r
alive
powers over
its
af fairs.
The
courts could
do
this e<>
untry
a great .-wrvuu
■ if
they would promptly, and with
finality slap down such schemes
to undermine and destroy local
law enforcement.
Over the years, the b HI has
consistently championed the
cause of progressive Ft ate and
local law enforcement. While
extending full cooperative ser
vices to police agencies and as
sisting in the training of many
thousands of State, county, and
city policemen t,his Bureau has
meticulously kept within the
scope of its own authority and
avoided any encroachment in
areas of responsibility belong
ing to State and local police.
America has no place for,
nor does it need, a national po
lice force. It should be abund
antly clear by now that in a
democracy such as ours effect
ive law enforcement is basically

Go-To-Church
Sunday set
Sunday, February 11, has
been designated “ Go-To^Church
Sunday,” beginning a week-
long observance of National
Crime Prevention Week in
Newberry county.
In an appeal for record
church attendance Sunday,
Johnny Stribble, chairman of
the local campaign, emphasized
the importance of regular
church attendance as a deter
rent to crime and juvenile de
linquency.
Similar plans an* being made
today by Exchange Clubs thru-
out the nation.
“In «>ur troubh d society it
has become absolutely essential
that strong religious beliefs and
moral responsibility be instilled
in our nation’s youth. When
parents regularly attend relig
ion services with their child
ren, and make Cod’s presence
felt in their homes they an
taking positive si *ps to deter
delinquincy and properly shape
their youngsters’ character,”
Mr. Stribble said.
J. Edgar Hoovei, FBI Direc
tor, say., children who attend
Sunday School regularly sel
dom become involved in juve
nile criminal violations. Of
8,000 children who appeared be
fore one juvenile court judge,
none had parents who attended
church regularly and only 4‘J
of the youths had attended
Sunday School regularly, ac
cording to Mr. Hoover.

Three are held
for Grand Jury
Three persons were held for
Grand Jury investigation fol
lowing inquests conducted by
Coroner George R. Summer
Friday night.
Indictments against Monroe
Huskey, Nathaniel Ellison and
Hubert Goree will be handed
to the Grand Jury when Court
of General Sessions convenes
March 18.
Huskey is being held in the
death of Thomas Butler. Both
were inmates of the John G.
Richards Industrial school.
Clyde Moody, an official of
the school, testified that Hus-
kt■ y, who worked in th** school
hospital, had locked the nurse
in the infirmary office. Huskey
and Butler took the nurse’s ear
and left the school. Moody said
he knew they were from t h e
Spartanburg area and would
probably go on I-2b in that
direction. He immediately got
into bis car to give chase.
He caught them, he said,
near the weight station closest
to Columbia, and continued to
follow them just inside the
Newberry county line. Huskey,
tbe driver, apparently lost con
trol of the car, skidded and
went down an embankment.
Moody stated that he stopped
and backed his car to the scene
in time to see Huskey leave the
car, jump a fence and disappear
into the woods. He said that
Butler appeared to be seriously
injured, and was taken by am
bulance to Columbia hospital
where he died later.
Huskey was apprehended
several hours later by State
highway patrolman and county
deputies, with the assistance of
bloodhounds from SLED.
Nathaniel Ellison is charged
in the fatal shooting of Ada
Mae Gallman at the house they
occupied in the Helena section.
Witnesses stated that the shoot
ing followed an argument be
tween the two. The Gallman
women d'*d several days later
in a Columbia hospital.
Hubert Goree was held in
the death of his wife, Alberta
Gone, near Pomaria. Investi
gating officer, Deputy L. L.
Henderson, said that two .22
calibre rifles were found at
th“ scene. Witnesses testified
that the Goree woman had
been shooting the rifle in the
yard and that her husband
came out and told her to come
into the house. As he turned,
witnesses said, she fired the
rifle again and at that time,
he also fired.
It was testified that he re
turned to the house a short
time later, went to Magistrate
Talley Hugh Shealy to report
the shooting. The woman was
dead upon arrival at the New
berry County Memorial hospi
tal.
