World Realignment? "Realignment" is a word sug­

gesting to most citizens a new political structure in which, say, "Conservative" and "Liheral" would, as party lahels, supplant "Democrat" and "Republican" -Dot, necessarily, respectively I A halfway house to such realignment was - or so many thought-the coali tion of Midwest Republicans and Southern Democrats which flourished under the late Senators Harry F. Byrd and Robert A. Taft, opposed by a somewhat more shad­owy, if not shady, alliance of ADA Democrats and Me-Too Republi­cans of the Eastern Seaboard.

Today a new sort of realignment is in the making--{)f worldwide scope and epochal importance. It is in part a division by continents: Asia, Africa, and South America against Europe and North America; in part a racial division: colored against white; in part a rising of the "have·nots" against the "haves." Yet any of these pairings, or all of them together, can at most suggest, not explain, what is bappening. For the leaders on both sides are rich, white, and of European descent. while the masses of humanity in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, of whatever color, are inclined to favor the traditional system in re­sistance to the revolutionary attack which is heing directed in their name.

2

evertheless, leaders of the so· called legro Revolution, however dependent on white accomplices, increasingly reveal that the basis of their militant solidarity is hostil­ity toward the white world. An AP dispatch &om "United Nations,

. Y." tells of a resolution by the American Negro Leadership Con­ference on Africa calling for use of military force-by Britain, the UN, the U. S., somebody, anybody - "to overthrow the Smith regime" in Rhodesia. Joining in this helliger­ent demand were Nohel Peace Prize-winner Martin Luther King; the "moderate" N.A.A.C.P. execu­tive Roy Wilkins; and silk-stocking integrationists' favorite Negro, Ur­ban League leader Whitney M. Young, Jr. On the subject of Rho­desia, and no doubt of South Africa as well, these nonpareils of non­violent nonraciaJism are at one with the most pugnacious paladins of Black Power.

At one, too, on Rhodesia are a1l sorts of "Conservatives" - from Westbrook Pegler to William F. Buckley, Jr. About most subjects, "Right-Wingers," heing individual· ists, disagree, not only with the Left, but also with each other. But they all agree today ,vith author Douglas Reed in this: "Rhodesia is no djstant, isolated African epi­sode; it reaches into your very home, however far away you be,"

Analyst Spells Out-

The Big Issue For 1968 Race JOEIN J. SYNON

When I was a boy, my buddy was a skinny kid named Mike. Mike was an inoffensive youngster and how it was he came to be the favorite target of the neighborhood bully I never knew. But he was. Every time Big Beef spotted Mike, alone, he gave him a good cuffing. Once, in a fit of temper that bor­dered on mania, Big Beef put Mike in the hospital. Mike still wears scars Big Beef infHcted, 40 years ago.

That was the situation one Sep­tember day as Mike and I dragged off for the first day of a new school year. It had been a long, fun-filled summer.

Our route led past the home of a Mrs. Jenkins, a friend of Mike's

mother. The lady, as was her morn­ing custom, was sweeping her porch.

"Back to schoo~ is it Mike?" she asked, by way of good morning.

· Yes, Ma'am," Mike repHed. • And what are you going to study

this year, boyr "Things ain't no different, Mrs.

Jenkins: my buddy said. "I'm still studying how to give Big Beef a whipp.ing."

That was the issue with Mike, a Hfetime ago. And I am, now, as Mike was then, dog-tired of being kicked around. Moreover, I am of the opinion a growing majority of the American people - North as well as South - share my feeHng. Stove in as we are, things ain't no different; we are still studying how to give the Left Wing a wbipping.

The American theory of govern­ment.turns upon equity, upon jus­tice, upon equal rights for all, and I believe in that theory with all my heart. Therefore, as one American, I am - as I imply - dog-tired of being denied my rights because I am a White man, a Southern White man. I am fed up with being pushed around.

That is the issue. I am fed up with working for

strangers. I am fed up with gen­eration upon generation of reliefers

lohn I. Synan's keynote speech at the New Orleans Leadership Con­ference of the Citizens Councils of America in February is published herewith in response to demand both from those who heard it and those who wish they had. Newsman and old campaignfl1" Synon once said he "writes by ear." Critics think it comes out real good.

- foreign and domestic - living on the product of my sweat, my taxes, and with being repaid for my largess in venom and hate. That, too, is the issue.

I am dog-tired of cynica~ addJe­headed legal opinions handed down by a nefarious Supreme Court, a court neither competent nor morally honest. That is the is­sue.

I am dog-tired of preachers, priests, and rabbis who turn their backs on God Almighty to forage in sociological fields - again, at my expense, at a cost in equity to me - because they have lost the faith of their fathers. I want back the old-time religion. That is the issue.

I am dog-tired of seeing innocent children driven from pillar to post for the political aggrandizement of a cotton-picking, red-neck scala­wag, he and his coterie of Hmp­wrist, fellow-traveHng socialists. That is the issue.

I am dog-tired of the unctuous tones of cynicaJ TV newscasters,

MAY Ige7

and of ideologues posing as re­porters who spew distorted versions of my people. I am up to here with anger at such maHgners of the South. That is the issue.

Parenthetically, I am dog-tired of my accent being ridiculed. I would point out it was a Southern accent that first gave utterance to The Declaration of Independence and to The Bill of Rights. That is no issue but it certainly is an inspira­tion.

And I am dog-tired of unpun­ished crime and flagrant rapine. That is the issue.

I am dog-tired of young men of my race being sent to war at a proportionate ratio of three-ta-one simply because others are too stu­pid to pass an elementary mental test. And I am doubly tired at having our men embroiled in a war they are not allowed to win; dying for nothing. That is the issue.

I am dog-tired of certain doctprs who so generate the procreative faculties of these people that they

breed in lots of five. That, too, is the issue.

I am dog-tired of red-wired Pied Pipers who mislead ignorant peo­ple, whisper in black ears that the berughted are not blue-ribbon win­ners because such as I deny them opportunity. I am dog-tired of liars who inflame the minds, and sor­row the hearts of an otherwise gen­tle, happy race. That is the issue.

But most of all, I am tired of my own race - those in my town and yours - who abet this degen­eration of a nation and who, by closing their eyes to its ultimate mearting - are permitting its de­struction. I am sick to my heels of those wbo, by allowing the best to be destroyed, are destroying all . That, too, is the issue.

And I mean, so long as I breathe, to fight for the resolution of this issue.

Do you ask me how I shall fight? Then, listen to me: I mean, first to rededicate myself

to this task. That will be a personal dedication, within me. And there­after I shall hold myself in readiness to perform to the best of my ability whatever humble chore my true leaders put upon these thin should­ers.

I am no clairvoyant. I bave nO certain knowledge of what lies ahead.

I am no fool either. Therefore, I know that the po­

litical future, whatever it may be, will be made by men. And I know that this future is ours if we make it ours; if we will it so.

Indeed I am no clairvoyant and it may be, because of my anxiety, because of my near-frantic concern over what is happerung to my COUll-

•

try, I shall be prone to listen to the whistling wind of false leaders.

And there will be false leaders, that I can promise you, risen from our own ranks, the ranks of South­ern people. They are being bought, now - I am speaking of the gov­ernors of certain Southern States -and in the days ahead we shall hear their voice. They are needed by our traducers because we are on the way back, we are on the way back. We have begun to win and they fear, with victory, we will destroy their checkerboard house. They I.:now, now that we have be­gun to wriggle in these bonds they have put upon us, soon we will be free to rip apart their rotten struc­ture, sill to rafter. This they know, so they scurry like Night Crawlers to employ those among us who would prove false, would retighten the ropes of Federal iniquity.

I say we are on the way back for the best possible reason. Not only because more and more rank-and­file Americans are beginrting to stir angrily, as they are, but rather because of a most sigruficant fact you may have missed in the p ress of things. A growing number of front-rank scientists are finding the climate more suitable for truth. Scientists who have been, hitherto, afraid to speak, are now speaking.

I do not refer to unflagging stal­warts such as Dr. Henry E. Gar­rett. Bless his soul, Henry Garrett has decried this shame since it broke upon us. Nor do I refer to such lay people as Carleton Put­nam, the magnificently courageous Yankee who has unflinchingly car­ried the banner of equal-but-sep­arate. Nor yet to our own Bill Simmons, the likes of whom is not

THE CITIZEN

seen often; nor to Roy Harris, Dor to Bob Patterson, nor to a host of others, such as are gathered in this room.

Rather, I refer to new voices, such as that of the Nobel Laureate from Stanford University, Dr. Wil­liam Shockley, who, upon a recent day, threw down the challenge to his colleagues. Seek the truth, he urged, look at the evidence, make the search, if nothing more.

And no sooner were the words out of his mouth than the pack took up his trail. Poor Dr. Shockley. Welcome aboard, Doc. But don't worry, you will survive and in sur­viving, you will give courage to others.

The day of deliverance is near, I tell you. But however encourag­ing events may he - and they are most encouraging - we must be­ware of those I refer to, those who would steal the tune of these new voices - not the true tune of the Brave but its off-key echo, that of the Old Falsifiers - those who would almost speak the truth, who would compromise the truth, those who would advocate - in Southern drawl, if you will - a little bit of integration, a little bit of misceg­enation.

Let me tell you: There is no such thing as a little bit of miscegena­tion; that is how this trouble be­gan. Therefore, whether the voice of compromise be that of the cow­ardly or the sly, I caution you not to heed it, throw the rascals out. Stand fast, and by standing fast, win.

There can be no other way; not for us. Such people as would urge compromise upon us have but one thing in mind - more of the trou-

MAY IG67

hIe we have known since that Black Monday of 1954. They would con­solidate their gains, through com­promise, only to march upon us again, as chance afforded.

We should have learned - and I take it, we have learned - there should be no trifling on the garden path.

Let me tell you a story; it will illustrate that point.

The principal egro thoroughfare in the town of my birth is known as Church street. It is a very old street, in a very old part of town, a street that turns and twists into the distance. Across it run scores of little streets and alleys, one of which is named Bermuda - but whether it is Bermuda alley or Ber­muda st'feet, I forget. In any event, Bermuda is a narrow, poorly lit, cobblestone affair that leads off into the darkness and into a past that is best forgot.

This rught, one of the town's high-yellows was sashaying down Church street when two sets of black, brawny arms yanked her -silks, satins, wig and all - into the darkness of Bermuda. As the last of the yelping Maybelle disap­peared, a pair of patrolling cops came up. eedless to say, they stopped the attack before it had gone - how do you put it? - too far.

Some days later, the three mis­creants stood before Judge Spindle: Maybelle and the two black bucks who had snatched her baldbeaded.

To begin proceedings, the judge asked one of the arresting officers to tell the story. He did. When he was done, Judge Spindle mulled for a moment, then inquired as to

Who's To Blame?-

What Is The Cause ROBERT B. PATTERSON

Obviously, responsible citizens deplore senseless violence, and the picture of fatherless children and a bereaved widow distresses every­one.

On February 14, 1967, the New York World Journal Tribune re­ported that a egro had met violent death in Greenport, Long Island. The headlines, " ... . The NAACP Says Murder", and the news story insinuate that the Negro had been killed by white people because he had been dating white girls. The NAACP has asked the Department of Justice to investigate, according to the report.

For reasons best known to them, the wire services failed to report this racial incident to the news media throughout the nation.

8

On February 27, less than two weeks later, a egro was killed in latchez, Mississippi. The wi.re services thought this act of violence would be of interest to the entire world and set their massive ma­chinery in motion to see that every man, woman and child on the face of the earth l .. new about it.

Our purpose here is not to ques­tion so much the difference in the reporting of the two acts of vio­lence but, rather, to bring up a much more important issue. While millions of dollars are being spent to find out who commits these acts of violence, perhaps some thought should be given as to why the vio­lence occurred.

WHAT CAUSES RACIAL VIO­LE CE?

'¥hat causes the tremendous amount of racial violence and crime that leaves many dead, maimed and bereaved of both races throughout this nation?

Most criminologists agree that frustration, along with uncontrol­lable anger, causes violence, wheth­er in the forth or South, and re­gardless of race, creed or color.

Throughout this nation, and over a long period of time, the Negro has had it hammered into his head by our news media and politicians that he has been, and is being, downtrodden, d e p r i v e d of his

It follows, considering the M<lory of oor times, that he has been steacUly involved in • conh"oversiai matters. But aboot one thing there is no controversy: Bob Patterson's coorage, kindliness, and shrewd, unaffected inteUigence mean that everybody likes and ad­mires him - even his enemies!

rights and, generally, is a second­class citizen who has little hope of ever becoming equal to the white citizen.

While the Negro is being told this, the might of the Federal Gov­ernment, through its police powers, its anned forces and its courts. is attempting to force the Negro citi­zen down the throats of white peo­ple. This is being done \vithout any regard whatsoever to the mores, customs, instincts and even religi­ous convictions of the white peo­ple. White people are suffering in the North as a result of the awful and mounting Negro crime wave . Our public school system through­out the nation is suffering because of the mania for "integration,"'" with-

MAY ID67

out regard to the maintenance of educational standards.

In this country government no longer "derives its just powers from the consent of the governed." Have the people of this nation consented to the HEW guidelines and to the forced integration of every phase of social and political life?

Forced integration by our Fed­eral Government, manipulated by minority groups, has caused, and is causing, the frustration among both races which is creating the riots, appalling crime rates, prop­erty destruction and murder in this country.

Those people and groups that advocate forced integration are di­rectly responsible for the racial violence in this nation.

Mixed Dating and Death By STANLEY ROBERTS AND DoN Ross

Reprinted from New York World Jownal Tribune, Feb. 14. 1967

GREE PORT, L. I., Feb. 14-To someone who has talked with Negroes and whites in this village, it seems fantastic that the Suffolk County police should insist there is no evidence of a racially-moti­vated slaying- perhaps that there even was no foul play-in the death of Carlos De Jesus, 27-year-old Negro fisherman who lived here.

De Jesus, a avy veteran, was found dead Dec. 15 on the desolate sands at Orient Beach State Park several miles from here on the east­ern end of Long Island.

Capt. John Coppins of the Suf­folk County homicide bureau has said he doubts De Jesus was mur­dered, although the county's chief medical examiner says De Jesus appears to have died of a combina­tion of drowning and of cutting wounds on the head and buttocks.

Dr. Sidney Weinberg, the med­ical examiner, said it appears to him that De Jesus had been assault­ed and thrown into the water. Wounds on the body, he said, could have been made by a knife or razor.

A handsome man, De Jesus dated white girls almost exclusively, his mother, Mrs. Dorothy De Jesus, said. Other Negro young men in Greenport dated white girls and this practice angered many whites, according to her.

Some egro mothers, including

10

Mrs. De Jesus, tried to break up these relationships, fearing their sons might run into trouble.

Inter-racial dating has gone on in Greenport, whicb bas a popula­tion of 2,608, for some time but it bas usually been done discreetly and even furtively. Last summer a relative of Carlos De Jesus flaunt­ed his relationship with a wblte girl by walking with her down Main and Front Sts., the principal thoroughfares. This is said to bave increased white anger.

There is a strong suspicion among Negroes in Greenport that De Jesus was lynched because of his famil­iarity witb white girls.

His best friend, Herman Shelby, 29, a Negro and the owner of a small marine construction outfit, said in an interview that he be­lieved De Jesus had been attacked by out-Of-town white hoodlums hired by Greenport whites. Shelby, who also dates white girls and is separated from his Negro wife, said that police had been harassing him in what he described as an attempt to blame De Jesus' death on him.

• • • A leader of Greenport's white

community attested to the strength of white anger against De Jesus and Shelby by saying that both had been '1ike animals on the prowl."

the nature of the neighborhood, and if much of that sort of thing went on in the area.

Before the cop could respond, an indignant Maybelle broke in: "Much of it, your Honor? Ev'y time I goes down there they do'es it to me'"

Let Maybelle's travail be a lesson . to all of us. Ev'y time we bave been down the street of compromise, every tim.e we have listened to the siren's lute, every time we have been led to hope this final inch was the last, this decision the final de­cision, this guideline the end, every time we have been accosted again.

Therefore, for us, there is but one way, one attitude. That way is wrapped in the single word, Never. Never go on the street of compromise.

As to true leaders, bow sball we know them?

Ahl That is an easy one. Who stood when others fled?

Who stands, now? Let me be specific: There is a man of Mississippi.

He said Never. He said it so the

world couJd bear. That man is Ross Barnett. He is a true leader.

There is another: I listened to the dulcet voice of a lady as she stood where Jefferson Davis once stood. And this lady said, ever. The lady is Alabama's governor, Lurleen Wallace. There is a true leader.

And because I was lucky, I had the opportunity, in years gone by, of standing within earshot of an­other true leader. He, too, said, Never. And the way he said it, the welkin rang. The Establishment shook. It is still shaking.

God willing, I shall stand near him again - in the stillness, in the peace of Alabama, or amid the rumble of a hostile mob, wberever, - before him, behind him, or be­side him, wherever he directs, in whatever humble capacity he de­termines. He is my true leader. When George Wallace cries, "Stand Up For America: stand I sl,all.

I respectfully suggest the same action for your consideration.

Rise when Wallace rises and we will, together, resolve this issue.

"We Told You So" Department We are not really going to make

a department out of this sort of thing. But unexpected documen­tation of an article we recently pub­lished has come to OUf attention, and we cannot forbear to pass along to you such evidence of THE CITlZE 's perspicacityl

In OUf February issue, as you will recall, David Clark gave us a rousing e x po s e of revolutionary integrationism in the University of Mississippi Law School, where he is a student. In an article entitled, ' Morse Code at Ole Miss: young Clark pinned key responsibi lity on Dean Josh Morse, and cited fi­nancial support of the Law School at Oxford by the integrationist­minded Ford Foundation.

Now there has come to our atten­tion a copy of Newsletter lumber 57, published by the Twentieth Century Fund, (another one of those "Suicide of the West" type foundations ) with offices at 41 East 70 Street in ew York City. We will not dwell upon the fact that the symbol of this publication is XX, which is, of course, the Roman way of writing "Twenty,n but also happens to be a double cross.

In said Newsletter one finds a re­port on, "The Administration of Justice in the South: A Conference Called by the Twentieth Century Fund." Where the conference met is not told, though internal evi­dence indicates Atlanta; the date is specified: October 6, 1966. The

12

revolutionary purpose of the con­ference is clearly stated. There are "two basic objectives: ( 1) provi­sion of adequate and competent legal representation [the implica­tion being that this is not now availahle] and (2) changing the entire stnlcture of iustice and law enforcement in the South." ( Italics added.)

"There was unanimous agree­ment: the Newsletter reports, "on the critical role of the law schools in determining the attitudes toward civil rights instilled in the rising generation of lawyers." Seems to have been quite a bit of unanimous agreement at the conference: .. ... the conference was unanimously agreed that an increase in both the quantity and quality of legro law­yers is of key importance." At the same time there were difficulties. and disagreements as to method: "A major problem is that very few Southern legroes are able to meet admission standards of white law schools." And the solution for that? Change the standards! "The whole area of admissions standards . . . would be a worthwhile subject for research." As for continuation of law schools specifically for Ne­groes. some were for it and some against it. It looks like segregation, but it helps disguise the preferen­tial lowering of standards. A tough decision for a Liberal!

Some of the conferees favored a subtle approach: " ... an effective

THE CITIZEN

program of legal assistance to the poor. even without any direct in­volvement in civil rights. could go a long way to conteract discrimina­tion and violation of civi.1 rights. Such programs cou ld also provide employment [at Federal expense] , and therefore an economic base. for Negro lawyers. as weB as work­shop experience to expose and train lawyers in the broad and inter­related fields of social welfare and civil rights law."

The benighted South is plainly regarded as a missionary field. U n­like gospel missionaries, however, legal missionaries don't expect to live in excessively humble circum­stances themselves. "The supply of resident lawyers willing and able to handle civil rights cases could be substantially increased if they had the 'economic independence' to resist community pressures. 1n­d.ividual lawyers cou ld be given special training and temporary sub­sidies [italics added ] which would encourage and permit them to settle in the South and take up general as well as civil rights prac­tice."

It all adds up to revolution: "Changes in the structure of tl,e administration of justice were con­sidered fundamental to permanent solution of the problem of discrim­inatory administration of justice in the South." But the revolution­aries at this conference were not uncouth s h ri e k e r s of "Black Power.'" They were the learned. the rich, and the powerful. They included the following (as a trih­ute to David Clark we have put Dean Morse's name all in capitals):
