Editor Gray Calls
LBJ Goals "Mask //
SELMA, Ala. A Georgia edi¬
tor and publisher Tuesday des¬
cribed tbe Great Society as “the
tattered mask which will not hide
the rapidly advancing power of a
centralized federal government. »»
James A. Gray, editor and pub
liser of the Albany Herald, told
a meeting of the Selma Chamber
of Commerce that President John¬
son advocates “a compulsory happi¬
ness and a compulsory moral
state.’
Evidence of the President’s goal,
Gray said, is shown in “the Negro
political movement which pro¬
claims morality but in fact preach¬
es civil anarchy,”
He called Dr. Martin Luther
King’s demonstrations a "racial
circus,” and said he has ripped the
heart out of common sense, to
say nothing of law and order.”
“King’s idea of nonviolence
is a Tarzan yell of triumph over
the prostrate form of a racially
gutted community,” Gray said.
Turning to President Johnson’s
voting rights bill, Gray said, “it
will create a precedent for the
most far-reaching constitutional
changes that will affect not merely
voting rights but rights in almost
every other field of law. >»
“For my part, I am strongly
apposed to the establishment of
a government by the idiots and the
ignorant for the idiots and the
ignorant.” Gray said.
“No government can become
the final arbiter of all social, eco¬
nomic and political difficulties,”
he said. “It simply does not have
the capacity. »»

Truman Tags King
A Maker of Trouble
NEW YORK — Former Presi¬
dent Harry S. Truman Monday
called Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
“a troublemaker.”
As for Dr. King’s recent receipt
of the Nobel Peace Prize, Truman
said:
“)I didn’t give it to him.”
At the suggestion that his re¬
marks might stir up controversy,
Truman replied:
“What the hell do I care?”
The former Democratic president
decried what he called “publicity
seekers?’ in the civil rights move¬
ment. He added that some civil
rights leaders are good ones but
said he could not at the moment
name any.
His remarks were made to news¬
men during a 20-minute morning
walk. Truman is in New York on a
speech-making mission.

intendent of Schools, in the Court
House in Cleveland. Ail applica¬
tions forms must be in the Super¬
intendent’s Office by second Mon¬
day in May if student expects to

has been given to each student in
school.
A CHILD'S PLEA
Dear Folks:
Thank you for everything but
I am going to Chicago and try and
start some kind of new life.
You asked me why I did those
things and why I gave you so
much trouble, and She answer is
easy for me to give you but I am
wondering if you will understand.
Remember when I was about six
or seven and 1 used to want you
to just listen to me? I remember
all the nice things you gave me for
Christmas and my birthday and I
was really happy with the things —
about a week at the time I got
the tinings, but the rest of the time
during the year I really didn’t
want presents, I just wanted all
the time for you to listen to me
like I was somebody who felt things
too., because I remember even
when I was young I felt things. But
you said you were busy.
Mom, you are a wonderful cook,
and you had everything so clean
and you were tired so much from
doing all those things tihat made
you busy but, you know some¬
thing, Mom? I would have liked
crackers and peanut butter just as
well — If you had only sal down
with me a while during the day
and said to me: “Tell me all about
it so I can maybe help you under¬
stand.”
And when Donna came I could¬
n’t understand why everyone made
so much fuss because I didn’t think
it was my fault that her hair is
curly and her skin so white, and
she doesn’t have to wear glasses
with such thick lenses. Her grades
were better too, weren’t they?
If Donna ever has children, I
hope you will tell her to just pay
some attention to the one who
doesn’t smile very much because
that one will really be crying in¬
side. And when she’s about to bake
six dozen cookies, to make sure
first that the kids don’.t want to
tell her about a dream or a hope
or something, because thoughts
are important too, to small kids
even though they don’t have so
many words to use when they tell
about what they have inside them.
I think that all the kids who are
doing so many things that grown¬
ups are tearing out their hair
worrying about are really looking
for somebody that will have time
to listen a few minutes and who
really and truly will treat them as
they would a grown-up who might
be useful to them you know — po¬
lite to them. If you folks had ever
said to me “pardon me” when you
interrupted me, I’d have dropped
dead!
If anybody asks you where I
am, tell them I’ve gone looking
for somebody with time because
I’ve got a lot of things I want to
talk about.
Love to All,
Your Son

An Anarchy Threat
In Civil Rights Move?
The Editors: Injustice even
to one man — should be wiped out,
but anarchy is rather a thigh price
and doesn’t insure that the injus¬
tice will be gone; perhaps it will
mean only that it is transferred to
another group.
Certainly all responsible adults
deplore the methods used in Ala¬
bama to prevent Negroes from,
gaining access to a right they al¬
ready have. Any insttanee in whiefo
prejudice is allowed to overrule
reason should be a matter of con¬
cern and grief — for all people.
Rut, regardless of how corrupt »
system may be, if toe means tor
eliminating the corruption are
more terrible than the exi sting
situation and, if the end reault is
merely the same situation in a dif¬
ferent setting, where is tbe gain?
If, instead of using legal meth¬
ods to correct wrongs, the protes¬
tors violate existing laiws and bring
unnecessary danger to themselves
and toe whole population, they
have made things worse and have
proved that they are no better
than their oppressors.
