PAGE TWO ODDS & ENDS (CONTINUED FROM PAG £ 1) pieabl* characters, persons who ■will stoop to anything low, rom n<on. debased and mean simply to achieve, what to them, appears to be fame and glory. John Kasper ■would undoubtedly today win any ■prize for the person most likely ■never to do any good for any one. Taking full advantage of the Amer ican principle of free speech, Kas per's twisted mind led him to move in on the crises created by the U. S. Supreme Courts ban on school segregation in a manner that for 'sheer viciousness has seldom been equaled, Kasper knew that the not too dormant embers of rare ha ted, long embedded in the con sciousness of the Southern breast, was ready to burst into devastating flatties the min ute some fire ball appeared to fan the fire. Kasper knew that he could operate without fear in most any Southern commu nity because his study of Amer ican history had taught him that little or nothing would ever be done to any person engaged in the awful business of racial bate peddling. School integration in Clinton, Tcnn. was well on its way to suc cess until John Kasper appeared on the scene. With the approval, if not the actual support of the local law authorities, Kasper suc ceeded in stirring up such a reign of terror in that small Tennessee town that the integrated school had to be closed and the governor was compelled to place the town und“r martial law in order to restore order. Although Kaspc-i was finally ar rested on a Federal charge of in surrection, ho was freed on bond and continued his campaign of ha tred in other sections of the South. Kasper himself is hardly worth wasting newspaper space on, He has long since removed himself from the assembly of decent men. wor thy to be discussed. Rut, strange as it roust sound, we are rushing into print in defense of Mr. Kasper, Last week, in Florida where Kas per has been trying to launch his latest ship of hate, he was com pelled to admit that he. the super salesman of white supremacy, had, on several occasions, not only asso ciated with Negroes socially but had dated Negro girls (we hope they have since left the race'. Be cause of this disclosure about Kas per's past social activities, the drip ping white Citizens Council in Tampa that had just installed him as vice-president, promptly ousted him with the statement that be cause Kasper admitted his associa tion with Negroes he was unfit to further serve their hateful cause. That we contend was unfair to Mr. John Kasper. The Southern white man has fought with ail his might and main to beat down every legal effort that might offer pro tection to Negro women against his ravishment of their decency and honor. Laws to prevent, the mar riage of Negroes and whites were enacted, not. as the Southerners claim, to keep his race pure, but to prevent Negro women from compelling their white seducers to marry them and care for their mu latto bastards. Those who have prearhrd the loudest and the longest about racial mongreiization, gover nors, congressmen, legislators and on down the line have, through their violations of Ne gro women, created a race of mongrels, tinted with all the colors of the rainbow. We do not know personally any of the racial purests making up the Tampa white Citizens Council, hut it is a foregone conclusion that the leaders of this Tampa group, like all other such groups, ere the fathers of mon grel children, mothered by Ne gro women. II shun Id be clear row why we came to the defense of John Kas per. As common, as low down, and as mean ns he must bo he did ad mit his social mixing with Negroes. Maybe it wasn't because he so cialized with Negroes but because he admitted it that caused his ex pulsion or was it because he did not slink down a dark alley in the blackness of night to debauch Negro women as his fellow white Citizens Council members have been accustomed to doing. If John Kasper does not. belong with that group of despoilers, where on earth docs he belong. If ho is unfit for * them, he is certainly unfit to asso ciate with any group on the top side of this earth. We repeat, why pick on Mr. John Kasper. ORCHIDS TO SGT.
