"Quite a furor has been raised
in church circles by the visit of
the dictator of communist Rus
sia to our shores. The Ameri-
L can and International Councils
' of Christian Churches have been
staging protest rallies along his
route of travel, and Roman Cath
olics are praying for his conver
sion.
Those who protest 'his coming
do so mainly on moral grounds,
citing the Scriptoie principle
that those who claim the name
of Christ should not compromise
with His avowed enemies. They
also point out that an enthusias
tic American welcome for this
man would be a mortal blow to
the hopes and aspirations of
captive peoples behind the iron
curtain. 1 !
Others agree, but feel that we
have a Christian obligation to
be courteous; and that it is un-
Christian to toe discourteous to
With all due respect for
•their sincerity, .1 personally be
lieve it is always Christian to
protest evil, even at the risk of
Wing discourteous. Khrushchev
is nothing if he is not. a cyni
cal, heartless, cold-blooded mur
derer—and he is no' mere de
serving of our hospitality than
would be A1 Capone (Who, I
understand, recently visited
Edenton).
Further, to negotiate with such
persons is a thorough waste of
time, as their word cannot be
trusted. Why are we so anxious
to come to an agreement with
■them on Berlin, for example—;
•we already have one that dates
back some fifteen years. They
have never honored that one—
nor would they hator a new
one. The entire problem re
solves itself into a simple philo
sophical truth: all moral values
come from God. Those who
deny the existence at God have
no logical basis for a system of
moral standards. Communism is
built on the premise that there
is no God—Therefore, commu
nism can neither recognize nor
be bound by any difference be
tween right and wrong. And
the sooner we realize this the
better off we’ll be.
- As for prayers for his conver
sion—such prayers Should be
backed up by a positive witness
to him. What are we doing
along this line? Bishop James
Pike of California (Episcopal) in
yitecj him to church, but the
U. 5. Government refused to
pass on the invitation. During
his recent visit to Russia, our
Vice President failed to attend
church services on Sunday. Sad
ly, we are passing up a splen
did opportunity to witness to the

faith in God upon which our na
tion is built, and from which it
receives its strength.
- During his visit to Hyde Park,
New York, Mrs. Roosevelt show
ed the Soviet dictator a Bible
that had been in her husband’s
family for years—a Dutch Bible,
I believe. Someone asked her
if he was impressed, and she
answered “I don’t think so.” If
he is not impressed with our
Christian faith during his stay
in America it will be our own
fault.

' SENATOR 7 I
SAM ERVIN JSyil
Washington Although I op
posed the creation of the Com
mission on Civil Rights, I never
theless entertained the hope that :
the Commission would suggest j
something new and constructive
in the field of racial relations.
The report which was released
by the Commission last week
.has robbed me of this hope.
Report of the Commission
The report is not a report in
any real sense of the term. This;
is true because the report has
many authors who entertain and
express differing views. The
major portion of the report is
written by the staff of the Com
mission. The other portions of
the report are written by indi
vidual commissioners or groups
of commissioners. The portion
of the report written by the
staff of the Commission consists
of the same old cliches which
have been used for years by
those who make the advocacy
of civil rights legislation and
compulsory racial integration a |
profession.
New Legislation Unnecessary
A study pf existing statutes
• -*•>.—■ ■
\ You’ll want more than one, k
** '' when you see our many en» '
/ ft ; feminine versions of "man
i^ngLig^S^s^' f if / i fe man will admire ... and
/ \ IfellT t for evening, they're oh, so
shows that new legislation in
] this field is wholly unnecessary.
Sections 1981 to 1992 of Title 42
lof the U. S. Code confer upon
{ all Americans legal and equi
table remedies sufficient to en
force all of their civil rights.
To be sure, advocates of new j
legislation in this field do not,
like these statuates because they
require that the rights develop
ing upon each American as a
citizen or a man shall “be pro
tected in the ordinary modes by
which other men’s rights are
protected.”
The concept of uniform laws
is abhorrent to those who would
single out certain groups and
make them the special favorites
of the laws.
Section 241 of Title 18 of the
U. _S. Code provides heavy crimi
nal penalties for those who “con
spire to injure, oppress, threaten,
or intimidate any citizen in the
free exercise or enjoyment of
any right or privilege secured to
| him by the Constitution or laws
j of the United Stales, or because
jof bis having exercised the
same.”
Section 242 of Title 18 of the
U. S. Code provides criminal
penalties for any state or local
official who “willfully subjects
any inhabitant of any state, ter
ritory, or district, to the depriva
tion of any rights, privileges or
immunities secured or piotected
by the Constitution or laws of
the United States.”
Under these two criminal stat
utes, the Department of Justice
can prosecute in a Federal Court
any state or local official who
willfully denies any qualified
person the right to register or
vote, or any other right secured
to him by the Constitution or
laws of the United States. To
Ibe sure, the burden would rest
upon the Department of Justice
to prove such state or local of
ficial to be guilty by the testi
mony of credible witnesses hav
ing personal knowledge of the
truth of the charge against such
official.
Would Deny Legal Rights
Advocates of new legislation
in this field do not like these
statutes because they would de
ny to state and local officials le
gal rights which they are willing
to accord to persons charged
with murder, smuggling, dope
peddling, counterfeiting, and oth
er crimes.
