Ky DORIS A. SANDERS DOUBTS DISPELLED If anyone ever entertained a doubt that the National Educa tion Association (NEA) was a radical, left-leaning organization —which I have contended for years that it is—that doubt should now be dispelled. By its latest action, the NEA has put every teacher in New berry County who belongs to NEA (let us hope very few) and every teacher in the nation who belongs to that organiza tion, on record as opposing the nomination of Honorable Cle ment Haynsworth to the U. S. Supreme Court. The NEA, which certainly has not polled its individual mem bers, has the gall to wire all members of the U. S. Senate that "The National Education Association, representing two million educators in 9,000 local affiliates, vigorously opposes the confirmation of Clement F. Haynsworth for the vacant seat on the United States Supreme Court " i cannot believe that the teachers of this county and this state would allow officers of the NEA to speak for them on this issue without their permission. This is a clear-cut example of the misrepresentation which has characterized the opposition to the Haynsworth nomination from the very beginning. Unless they P'j oppose the nomination, I v .ud like to see the NEA-member teachers of our county do just as the Ches- ley Cannon Class of the Central Methodist Church did when one of its National Boards took a similar action: denounce, posi tively and publicly, this arro gant action on the part of NEA leaders. It would seem that this would be reason enough for any teach er, except the most radical, to immediately withdraw member ship and support from this lobby ing, labor-union type outfit which presumes to call itself a pro fessional organization. If the day has come when a man of the honesty and inte grity of Judge Haynsworth can not be seated in a high position because of the lobbying of rad ical minorities, this country is then beyond all hopes of ever returning to a government of the people BY the people and tor ALL the people.
