Civil Disobedience
To The Christian
Science Monitor;
The key sentence of the eai
torial on civil disobedience
(Aug. 9) seems to me this:
"Only by the rule of law can
cumulative progress be made.’’
This marks the difference be¬
tween our position today and
Thoreau’s in the middle of the
19th century. Thoreau believed
that “the government is best
that governs least, >» It wa3
therefore logical for him to
have a very limited view of the
usefulness of law.
Today the law is evidenUy the
major instrument of social re¬
form: To undermine the re¬
spect for the law is to blunt
this instrument. Whoever vio¬
lates valid laws in the name of
justice and progress sets a pre¬
cedent for racists and others
who want to violate the laws
which are promoting justice
and progress. Civil disobedi
ene may still be justified when
a high moral law cannot pos¬
sibly be asserted in any other
way, but much of the advocacy
of civil disobedience today fails
to pass this test.

Anti-Rights Negro, 89,
Is Tortured
In Alabama
GREENSBORO, Ala. (UPI) —
An aged negro farmer who spoke
openly against civil rights demon¬
strations was found severely beat¬
en and tortured, authorities an¬
nounced Wednesday.
Two negroes, one of them ar¬
rested during demonstrations here
July 29, were arrested in connec¬
tion with the attack on Perry
Smaw, 89.
The suspects, held on suspicion
of assault charges, were identified
as David Lee McAlpine, 19, arres¬
ted during the demonstrations, and
Roosevelt Long, 21.
Smaw was in critical condition
at Hale County Hospital here, and
Chief Deputy David Holloway said
he was not expected to live. Smaw
has been in a coma most of the
time since the attack at his farm
home near Melton sometime Sat¬
urday. Melton is a community
about six miles west of this black
soil belt town.
Gov. George Wallace posted a
$1,000 reward, the maximum the
state can offer, and state troopers
dispatched an investigator.
Smaw was found 1 by relatives
who visited the small home where
he lived alone Sunday morning.
However, the mutilation was not
discovered until doctors examined
him.
Holloway said Smaw’s money
and rifle were missing but he did
not believe robbery was the mo¬
tive.
‘W don’t think he had very
much money,” Holloway said.
Holloway said Smaw was beaten
over the head with an iron skil¬
let which was broken in the at¬
He suffered a fractured
skull. His tongue was pulled out
as far as possible and cut off with
a sharp instrument “all the way
back to his tonsil.” Holloway said.
He said he was informed by
several negroes that they believed
Smaw’s opposition to civil rights
activities was behind the attack.
“I have information from some
of his people that leads me to be¬
lieve there is a connection,” the
deputy said. “He’s against them
(demonstrators) and talked against
them.”
Holloway said Smaw, a “well
thought-of” negro who owned his
own land, had been downtown
speaking against picketing of
Vinson Promises
Campaign
If Russell Needs Help
Former Rep. Carl Vinson said
Friday he is ready to campaign
for longtime congressional col¬
league Sen. Richard B. Russell
next summer if Russell is opposed.
But Vinson said he hopes that
Russell won’t have any opposition.
Vinson, 81, retired last year
after 50 years in Congress. He
will be supporting Russell, 07,
who was his colleague across the
hall for more than 30 years.
“I’ll campaign for Sen. Russell
if that’s necessary, but I hope he
doesn’t have any opposition. He
doesn’t deserve any. He has been
Georgia’s most outstanding Sena¬
tor,” Vinson said.
The same sentiment — a desire
that Russell not have opposition
— has been expressed recently by
Sen. Herman Talmadge.
Gov. Carl Sanders appears to be
a likely candidate in opposition
to Russell in the 1966 campaign.
Vinson’s endorsement of Rus¬
sell came well in advance of any
potential campaign. If Sanders
runs, he probably would not an¬
nounce until next spring.
The former Congressman, who
now stays busy around his home¬
town in Milledlgeville with civic
endeavors, said he would ‘throw
my coat off” to help Russell.
He said is is in the “best in¬
terest of Georgia to keep the
Senator” in Washington.
Russell, Chairman of the Senate
Services Committee, and
former chairman of the
Armed Forces Committee,
worked' together over a long
of years.
Vinson also had a kind word

Music, Acting
May be Deleted
In California Schools
CALIFORNIA sixth, seventh and
eighth graders this fall will face
so much they have to do that
there will be little time left for
wiiat they don’t have to do.
Some educators predict they
will have to give up music and
art the extras.
The musts — history, mathema¬
tics, science, English, physical
education, and now Spanish, may
eibow them aside. California law
demands that they be in the cur¬
riculum no matter what. Spanish
was added just .this year.
Those .subjects add up to six
and most of California schools
have only a six-period day. That
leaves no room for such extras
as performing arts or humanities.
Some educators recommend
making the school day longer. But
that costs money. And most school
districts insist they just haven’t
got the money to spare.
