Rep. Walter Asks Justice Dept.
To Press Treason Charges
WASHINGTON,D. C.
Louis Wheaton’s refusal to
answer questions before the
House Committee on Un-Amerl-
can Activities has caused the
committee’s chairman, Rep.
Walter of Pennsylvania to de
sire to ask the Justice Dept, to
consider prosecuting Wheaton
on treason charges.
Wheaton, a Negro, refused to
answer when if he had broad
cast from Peiping, China in
October, 1952, speaking of the
“ruthless and inhumane beha
vior of our forces in Korea,”
and saying that he had seen
"damnlnij'’ evidence of bacteno-
logical warfare waged by the
United States. The Committee
claimed that such broadcasts
were made by i man named
Louis Wheaton.
The witness invoked the First
and Fifth Amendments of the
Constitution and he refused to
answer even wnen asked if he
had gone to Peiping. Walter
was so infuriated that he issued
a statement following the testi
mony: WhUe American soldiers
were dying on the battlefields
of Korea, this man in interna

Since, as the author states
with admirable candor, “The
white man has at no time or
place remained white when in
prolonged contact with colored
races,” he reaches the interes
ting conclusion that the solu
tion (as opposed to what he con
siders Impractical attempts at
“adjustment”) is to physically
remove America’s Negroes from
further contact, voluntarily or
by “draft,” and repatriate them
in Africa, complete with hoe and
shovel, since “It must be re
membered tliat Africans have
lived for tens of thousands of
years without plows or horses.’’

here.
He congratulated the students
for "your foresignt in preparing
yourselves to take a leading
role in the construction of the
greatest highway building pro
gram ever conceived by man.”
“For the next 13 years,’" Pat
ten said, “the construction in
dustry will retain its lead as the
largest industry in the nation
and at the same time it will fur
nish jobs and improve the tech
nical know-how or our already
highly skilled workmen.”
He pointed out the proposed
highway legislation will pour
over $1,070,000,000 into the
economy of North and South
Carolina during the next 13
years in the form of wages to
construction workers and for
materials and equipment need
ed to build the roads. “About
40 per cent of the over $1 bil
lion will be paid in wages,”
Patten said. “The rest will go
into road building materials,
new equipment and dozens of
other items needed in the con
struction of highways.”
Patten told tne graduates,

tended that their children bad
to attend a Negro school at Ma
rion, some 15 miles away. Judge
Wilson Warlick denied the re
lief sought, and held that under
the 1954 decision of the U. S.
Supreme Court, separate school
facilities were unconstitutional,
that local and state funds could
no longer be exi^ended primari
ly on separate N »gro schools.
Hearing the case on appeal,
the Fourth Circuit Court affirm
ed the Warlick ruling on this
point. The higher court also held
that the 1955 School Machinery
Act of North Carolina estab
lished adequate procedures to
be followed in appealing from
pupil assignments, and that
these procedures must be ex
hausted before action could be
brought in the icderal courts
As a result of this ruling, the
Negro plaintiffs petitioned Me
Dowell school authorities for
admission of their children to
the white school at Old Fort,
When this petition was denied,
they brought action, as provided
in the 1955 aot, in the state
courts.
The key provision of the 1955
school act is the requirement for
