BAYONETS AT THE THROAT
OF THE SOUTH
President Eisenhower now has bayonets at the throat
of the South.
The picture of those bayonets at the necks of the
people have been published for all the world to see. The
orders of the military commander were quite plain and as
pointed as the bayonets he commanded.
Jack Nelson, special reporter of The Atlanta Con
stitution, who was on the scene at Little Rock’s Central
High School tells the exact words of M. Sgt. Paul Mantell
of lowa to his squad.
“Keep your bayonets at their necks,’’ the sergeant
said, according to reporter Nelson.
President Eisenhower has seized dictatorial powers
and, without authority of any federal law or any plain
constitutional provision, has pointed bayonets at the necks
of the people of Arkansas and the entire South.
These bayonets were even pointed menacingly at
the backs of teen-age school girls. These bayonets drovd
peaceful spectators from the yards and porches of private
property and slashed at least one man who had served
13 years in the U. S. Army, including World War II and
the Korean War.
The Gethsemane of the South is now upon us and the
crucifixion is scheduled to follow soon.
GEORGIA SCHOOLS MAY
HAVE TO CLOSE
If the NAACP and President Eisenhower attempt to
use bayonets to put Negroes into the white schools of
Georgia, the only move possible for our state officials is
to close the schools and resort to education by private
schools.
The governor of Georgia will not even have the state
militia with which to enforce state school laws, because
the president can take over the National Guard as he
has done in Arkansas.
State officials should NOW get busy and prepare the
way for the operation of private schools in Georgia. If
the crisis comes within a year or within five years, the
people should be ready with a plan to turn their schools
over to private operators.
There should be no pussyfooting on this matter. The
issue is too grave and the implications of racial integra
tion in the schools is too tragic and far-reaching to be
minimized.
Mere words, anger and resentment, are not enough.
The people of Georgia must be prepared to ACT and act
regardless of any special interest or any special educa
tional group.
If the white civilization of the South is to be saved,
the white people must provide their own private schools.
Mere words and protests will be futile against the massed
bayonets of the federal tyrants.
NEW POLITICAL PARTY
MUST BE FORMED
The long range plans of the white people of the
South should include a new political party which would
rally the people to a sane, conservative, constitutional
standard.
The new political party would attract not only most
of the white people of the South but also millions of
white people in the North.
Many white people of the northern states are shock
ed and disgusted with the resort to bayonet rule in the
South. They know that these same bayonets may soon be
pointed at their throats also.
The new political party could be called the States
Rights Party or the Constitutional Party or the White
Democratic Party or some such title to indicate what it
stands for.
To organize such a political party will require that
Southern senators and representatives be willing to sacri
fice their places on congressional committees. Such sacri
fice would be a small price to pay for the eventual res
toration of constitutional government in the United States.
You can’t win battles sitting in the shade eating cake.
You have to get out and make sacrifices. You have to put
the national welfare above personal position and prestige.
The question remains: have Southern politicians and
the Southern people the real guts left to do what is nec
essary under the circumstances.

Royal Theater Will Show
Sensational New Picture
The Royal Theater at Nahunta
is scoring a scoop by being the
first theater to show the sensa
tional new movie “Three Faces
of Eve” in southeast Georgia.
The Twentieth Century-Fox
CinamaScope production, starr
ing Joanne Woodward, David
Wayne and Lee J. Cobb, will be
shown at the Royal Theater Sun
day and Monday, Sept. 29 and 30,
it is announced by Sybert Jones,
operator of the theater.
“Three Faces of Eve" gives re
newed proof of the strangeness
of truth over fiction.
Taken from the true account
of a case of multiple personality
treated by two Georgia psychia
trists, the never before filmed
story, produced, directed and
written by Nunnally Johnson,
concerns a housewife who had
three personalities at once: a
drab, mousey nitrovert, a wan
ton woman and a mature, normal
young lady.
Joanne Woodward, who will
carry most of the picture herself
as the troubled woman, will use
as her main “prop” only a sim
ple jersey dress of almost severe
design and a marvelously plastic
face capable of portraying the
entire gamut of emotions. This
“transition dress” was designed
by Rennie, Hollywood stylist.
After viewing her performance
in preview showings of the film,
audiences have hailed her as a
dynamic, new personality, hitting
the screen as she does in this
challenging role. New York col-
