BY THE WAY (Continued from Page 1) tion, as defined by HEW. Gary, Ind., which has a Negro mayor, has achieved only 3.1 percent desegregation. St. Louis has only 7.1 percent desegregation. New York City has only 19.7 percent desegregation. People throughout this Nation make the choice generally in two ways. They either move to a white neighborhood, or they send their children to private schools. When people move, we have the phenomenon of rese gregation, such as has taken place in Charleston, Atlanta, Richmond, and Washington, D. C. not to speak of nearly every Northern city. In Washington, D. C., which was to be the model for the Nation, the public school system is now 5.8 percent white and 94.2 percent black. But in the smaller towns of the South, particularly because whites and blacks have always been good neighbors, it is not possible to move in order to find a white school. Instead,, the whites leave the public school system if pos sible and establish a private school. The IRS decision will be an additional burden upon those who are trying to maintain their freedom of choice. It will not de feat them, but it will make the task harder. What is most omi nous is that it sets a precedent for depriving private schools of their private status. When a vindictive policy decision is once made, it sets the pattern for other decisions designed to pun ish those who do not accept certain political theories. But there is a far more ser ious matter involved. This de cision breaks faith with the peo ple of the South. As recently as February 19, 1970, the President assured me positively that he supported the continuance of the tax-exempt status of private schools. The people of the South were counting upon the Presi dent’s word. I can only conclude that a group of liberal advisers around the President are mis leading him, and that their ad vice will bring disruption to this Nation. I am warning the Nixon ad ministration—I repeat, I .am warning the Nixon administra tion today—that the people of the South and the people of the Nation will not support such un reasonable policies. I remind the Chief Executive that the Presidency is an elective office, and that what the people give, the people can also take away. The private schools are an important resource for freedom WANT ADS H. Grady Ballard BALLARD for Congress P, O. Box Easley 1970 S.

Rubber Stamps Made at THE SUN Office of choice today. The people must not be deprived of this alter native. The social structure of this Nation must not be an ob ject of Federal policy, if free dom in our everyday actions is to be preserved. The only fair requirement under law is that everyone be treated the same in Government actions. If private acts come under the same rigid regulation, then the Federal Government will be intruding upon every step we take and every breath we breathe. If the administration does not use reason and patience, it will destroy both the public and pri vate school systems. I have al ways supported the public school system, and I shall con tinue to do so. In the same way, I will uphold the private school system, as a significant contri bution to American freedom. I have been watching the ad ministration since it came into power a year and a half ago. I have noticed that since the Pres ident has been in office he has become surrounded by liberal and untraliberal advisers. The advice that these people give is not in the best interest of either President Nixon or the country. The philosophy which these peo ple espouse and which they give to the President is a sectional philosophy—a philosophy of the Northeast. It is not the philo sophy of the South or of the West or of the Midwest. Those who support the philosophy of the Northeast did not support the President in 1968, and they will not support him in 1972. If President Nixon is to be successful in 1972, he must listen to the voice of the great major ity. He must take the pulse of America’s broad heartland. He must keep faith with those who put their trust in him. When the President is right, I shall say he is right; when he is wrong, I shall not hesitate to say so. My desire is to help the administration in every pro per way, but my first obliga tion is to the people of my State and of the South, and of the Nation. I would be less than a friend if I did not point out the error of the President’s actions. I trust that he will understand my statements. We have worked together in the past for the good of the country, and I hope to be able to do so in the future. But the South cannot and will not stand for the unjustified and ar bitrary invasion of the rights guaranteed to all people under the Constitution. County Building Permits James R.
