Editorial Roundup
Chicago Tells
Its Side Os Story
The City of Chicago has told its side of the story on
those television stations which agreed to show it And
earlier this week the Griffin Daily News told the police
man’s side in an exclusive article.
As this “other side” which the tv cameras and the tv com
mentators did not tell during the Democratic convention
becomes more widely known, it is evident that the Chicago
police did what they had to do. The alternative easily
could have been assassination or revolution.
All the editorials we have seen in Georgia newspapers
(except those in Atlanta) have been favorable to the posi
tive action of the Chicago police and Mayor Richard
Daley. Samples follow.
THOMASVILLE TIMES -ENTERPRISE
Mayor Richard J. Daley of Chicago has been criticized
and condemned by the hippies, yippies and those who feel
the Chicago police handled the demonstrators and protest
ers too roughly. He has been generally defended and com
mended for the strong action he took to prevent rioting
and violence on wholesale scale in and about the Chicago
Amphitheatre where the Democratic Convention was held.
Chicago got a sample of what the South and some other
parts of the nation faced when outside agitators moved into
the Windy City, determined to take over and bum, if nec
essary, the convention hall.
Threats to burn the convention hall were reported by
responsible sources. Had it not been for the determined
action taken by the police and national guardsmen and
troops, FBI officers and others, there is no telling what
might have happened. What did happen at the Hilton
Hotel and in the park area nearby might have taken place
on a larger and more serious basis, except for the thousands
of police and other officers whose job it was to see that it
didn’t happen.
Mayor Daley has set a fine exampfe for other mayors
and governors to follow. He had the guts and the personal
courage to see that trouble makers could not and would not
take over the city.
The trouble at the Hilton Hotel was sickening and dis
gusting in many ways. But the hotel area was swarming
with police who often found it necessary to meet violence
and force with force. Because of this the same old charge
has been heard, “Police brutality”, but it can in retrospect
be truthfully said that if more alleged police brutality had
been exhibited in places like New York, Watts, Calif., and
Philadelphia, Pa. and Cleveland, Ohio and Detroit, Mich,
many lives would have been saved, fewer people would
have been injured and millions of dollars in property could
have been saved....
The nation owes a debt of gratitude to Mayor Daley,
because he did what so many have felt needed to be done,
to curb rioting and lawlessness.
WAYCROSS JOURNAL■HERALD
The millions of Americans who watched the bloody
demonstrations in Chicago the night the Democratic Party
nominated its presidential candidate must have wondered
what this country is coming to.
The scene was the kind that Americans of a generation
ago would have expected in some Latin American country
but never in the U. S.
The Chicago police, under orders from powerful politi
cal boss Mayor Richard Daley, swang their billy clubs with
abandon and it wasn’t long before the walking wounded
were streaming into a nearby hotel for first aid.
Reports of the battle between demonstrators and police
reached the convention hall where it stirred some to engage
in sharp criticism of Daley and the “gestapo” tactics of his
police.
But reports from the scene indicated that the police
showed restraint until they were attacked by flying ob
jects and vilified by the anti-war demonstrators.
The police, and later the national guard, were under
orders to prevent a march on the convention hall. Their
confrontation with youths determined to go there led to
the bloody battle.
Whether Mayor Daley’s forces both downtown and at
the convention hall over-reacted to the provocations prob
ably will stir controversy for a long time to come.
In the defense of the mayor and his police department
it should be noted that they faced a tough situation and
apparently decided that only by keeping a firm grip on
things could worse disorders that might have disrupted the
convention be avoided.
Americans will be a long time forgetting the chaotic
scene at Chicago.
MARIETTA DAILY JOURNAL
... It is to Daley’s and the police’s everlasting credit
that no one was killed or seriously injured in Chicago. It
is unfortunate that a few —a very few — policemen ap
parently got overzealous in their use of billy clubs. But it is
far more regrettable that the crowds they repelled were
characterized in much of the national news media and
from the convention podium as harmless college kids seek
ing nothing more than freedom to express their views.
The facts—well established by identity of the known
leaders of the Chicago demonstrations — are that the shots
were called there, as they have been in many cities where
disorder has prevailed, by extreme leftist organization
leaders bent on wrecking our form of government. Many
innocent people undoubtedly participated in the demon
strations, but they were motivated and directed by pro
fessionals, imported agitators who had previously organ
ized the Columbia University riots and others.
When these leaders threatened to bum Chicago hotels
to the ground, when they threatened to assassinate can
didates and other leaders, when they smashed windows
in hotels and police cars, and finally when they led a
charge of several thousand people in an effort to crash
police lines, Chicago’s men in blue had little choice but to
fight them off and to subdue them with tear gas.
, The alternative was anarchy.

“Will you stop calling me

happen to be a W.A.S.P.!”
MY
Coffin Cheered
I read that the Yale student
body gave William Sloan Coffin
a great ovation when he came
to the podium during the com
mencement exercises to lead in
prayer. Does this mean that the
students there favor his compli
city with Dr. Spock in helping
young men avoid the draft?
D.A.E.
Not necessarily. Dr. Coffin
responded to the applause on
that occasion with these words:
“I thank you, and I appreciate
this, but you are letting your
generosity exceed your judg
ment.” This remark emphasiz
es the fact that there is a differ
ence in liking a man, personal
ly, and approving his policies or
actions. The Yale students who
applauded Dr. Coffin on that
occasion were no doubt applau
ding an affable, likeable man,
rather than approving his polic
ies. They were, indeed, probably
letting their generosity exceed
their judgment.
I know men, for example, who
are winsome personalities, but
with whom I drastically disag
ree. I can applaud them as like
able men, but at the same time
dissent with their views. Some
people feel that if we detest a
man’s views or policies we must
hate the man also. This, of cour
se, is a judgment motivated by
emotion and not reason. Jesus
said, ‘ Pray for those who des
pitefully use you and say all
manner of evil against you.” He
intimated that we were to 1 o v e
men, even though their views
were diametrically opposed to
ours. In other words, as a Chris
tian it is possible to despise a
man’s philosophy, but at the
same time, love the man.

‘General’
Membership
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press International
Dr Robert C. Dodds, director
of ecumenical affairs for the
National Council of Churches,
has an idea that deserves study
by all concerned with hastening
reunion of the divided Chris- ;
tian family.
Dodd’s idea, outlined in the
Christian Century Magazine, is
so simple that its importance
may easily be missed.
He reasons—and few will give
him argument—that organic
reunion of major Christian
bodies is in the remote future, 1
at best. It will take years of:
steady ecumenical progress I
even to reach the stage of
intercommunion, in which there
is mutual recognition of minis
tries and sacraments.
VTiat could be done immedi
ately, Dodd contends, is for the j
Roman Catholic Church and the '
major Protestant communions
to recognize the existence of “a |
general church membership.”
Common Membership
“This means that, if you
become a Christian, other,
Christians acknowdedge that you |
ate fully a Christian," he |
explains. "Anyone w’ho belongs
to one church belongs to all.
Thus, if you should become a
member of the Methodist
Church, you would become
simultaneously a full member
of the African Methodist Episco
pal Church Zion, the Roman
Catholic Church, the United
Church of Christ and the
Episcopal Church.”
Dodd sees no doctrinal
obstacles. The theological basis
for a general church member
ship is the belief that "Christian
membership consists of all who
have been baptized into Christ.”
"On this point, our theolo
gians have already achieved a
consensus,” he notes.

ecumenical breakthroughs of
the Vatican Council. Ir its I

U.S. Must Carry Battle
Os Freedom to Russians
By RAY CROMLEY
NEA Washington Correspondent
A few days ago my eight-year-old son asked why we did not
help the people of Czechoslovakia.
There was no answer for him then. After a week of
thinking, there is no answer for him now.
We are participating in a blockade against Rhodesia be
cause our government believes the men in authority have
set up the wrong kind of rule.
We spent millions of lives in Europe and the Pacific, in two
World W'ars and Korea to protect the West Europeans, the
Chinese, Korea and Southeast Asians from aggression. We
helped the Soviet Union protect itself against Hitler.
We are today spending the lives of our young men and
billions in dollars to protect the people of South Vietnam from
Ho's aggression.
But when, as in 1948, Czechoslovakia is taken over by Rus
sia. when, as in 1956, the Poles, East Germans and Hun
garians revolt against their Russian military rulers and when
as today the Czechs are overrun, we have no answer.
We know what the problem is. We are afraid, as our allies
are afraid, that intervention in Czechoslovakia would set off
World War 111 and mean death and destruction for us all.
Nevertheless, this inaction is hard to take. It is hard to
think that we will protect people from little enemies but not
from big ones.
Marching an army to Czechoslovakia does not seem to be
the solution. But futile protests at the United Nations will
not satisfy our consciences either, if we believe that we must
help build a world in which one people will not be allowed
to take over another people by force.
If we are to give up that dream, why then did we sacrifice
our men in World Wars I and 11, Korea and in Vietnam?
This reporter believes there is an answer.
We can take a lesson from the Czechs who told their people
. . . “Do not fight ... we are not strong enough to win in
open battle ... but carry out passive resistance ..
A war of passive resistance is no easy war. It takes
extreme discipline, courage and ingenuity.
Td be effective, passive resistance must be aggressive. It
cannot be limited to Czechoslovakia. The Russians must be
kept off balance at dozens of points simultaneously through
their colonial empire.
Czechoslovakia has shown the most effective weapon against
Soviet Communist imperialism is the concept of freedom.
Now Russians, Czechs, Hungarians, Ukrainians, Armenians,
Poles and Romanians have written of individualism, freedom
and liberty as effectively as Thomas Paine did in the
American Revolution. Many have given their lives for these
orinciples.
teaching that all baptized
persons are part of the
“mystical body of Christ.”)
Dodd anticipates vigorous
opposition not from theologians
but from church administrators
who will “have nightmares
about the changing financial
and personnel bases” which
r.i'ght result from tearing down
the fences of denominational
identification that are supposed
to keep members from straying
into other folds.
Already Fluid Membership
Actually, of course, the fences
aren’t very effective anyway.
Surveys have shown that
Protestants tend to change
denominations almost as casual
ly es they change residences.
The typical Protestant family
today attends the church it
finds most congenial and
convenient, regardless of den
omination. There is less, but
still substantial, movement in
both directions between Prote
stant churches and the Catholic
Church.
Dodds argues that his ap
proach would be more in
keeping with the New Tes
tament concept of the church as
a fellowship than is the present
membership roll system which
puts the church in the same
category as a private club.
“In practice, of course, some
people will maintain lifelong
fidelity to a single tradition,” he
said. “Others will expose
themselves to many traditions
at once—participating perhaps
in a Lutheran Bible study
class, a Methodist prayer
group, a Roman Catholic Mass,
a United Church of Christ
service project, and Episcopal
enterprise in education.
In the long run, he believes,
“Many people will learn to
think of themselves simply’ as
Christians” without brand
names.
If that happens, Christians
will be "returning from 2,000
years of history to the situation
of the early church.”
