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. »» WHY LET AN OLD I CAR DRIVE YOU hw \ r=* CRAZY? \S' '// BUY A GOOD US5D CAR FROM THE ADS In This Newspaper i Local News tho NEWS that It will appear in IW .Wa wffl ip precite ytrar Telephone or write The Courier the NEWS.

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. 9 * * EBtabliahe* 189 ft What's Going On In Your White County Schools By Telford Hulsey, Superintendent By Telford Hulsey, Superintendent TRANSFER OF STUDENTS FROM ONE SCHOOL TO ANOTHER In short the resolution says that a student who wishes to transfer form one school to another must get an application from the Super¬ intendent of Schools, in the Court House in Cleveland.

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.

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.
