Editor's
Notebook
With
Mike
Yopp
There are commercial postcards
on sale in Alabama that depict
the state's bound ry lines extend
ing from the . Gulf , of Mexico to
the Canadian border.
The enlarged area occupies .ful
ly one-third of the United States
map. The caption reads: "The
Real Alabama."
The vastness and implied
strength of the mock superstate
are indicative of the way many
Selmans and Alabamians look , at
themselves and their state. J
"In that part of the South,"
some say, "the people live in an
other world."
While they do not live in an
other world they do live in one
where the concept of segregation
is hard, fast and full of fears.
Their greatest fear appears to
be the political potential of the
Negroes. Many deep South areas
are like Dallas County where Ne
groes outnumber whites three to
one.
Selmans are quick to admit that
they do not want all Negroes to
have voting rights.
"For the most part," one man
said, "they are uneducated."
"Anyway," said another, "how
would you like Negroes running
your local government?"
Resist Change
So the citizens of Selma and
hundreds of other communities
hide behind the worn-cloak of
"Southern tradition" and fight to
resist change in their social sys
tem, one which has prevailed
for generations.
Things haven't changed much
there since the passage of the
Civil Bights Bill of 1964.
Don Wasson, managing editor f
of the Montgomery Advertiser,
puts it this way:
"In Selma you have a people
who, nutured on tradition as old
as Selma ! itself, have resisted
change with all their hearts and
souls. They are a people who are
conservative in their thoughts and
actions and the forcible disrup
tion of their traditions by an all
powerful government has been a
bitter pill to swallow."
They don't swallow well.
Selma Public Safety Director
Wilson Baker told a January
meeting of a local civic club:
"This administration feels that
it has a responsibility to lead Sel
ma through the maze of legal
transitions resulting from the
passage of the Civil Rights Bill."
Sounds good. But Baker didn't
reflect this stand Tuesday as he
waited for the marchers near
Brown Chapel A.M.E. Church.
"What will you do if they
march," reporters demanded.
Baker had one answer which
he' gave through clinched teeth
with a scowl on his face: "We
got plans for 'era."
Armed Camp
Selma is like an armed camp
City police, sheriff's deputies
and state troopers patrol the
streets, usually in cars.
The walking is often left to
Sheriff James Clarke's possemen,
"storm troopers" they are called
by some observers. They are lo
cal residents hired by Clark to
augment his regular staff of dep
uties.
They were out in full force Tues
day.
So with a virtual army Selma
has barricaded itself in the sou
thern part of the Alabama super
state. r
And it has support from Mont
gomery, the state capital where
Gov. George Wallace is not only
a leader in the eyes of Selmans,
lie is a hero the segregationist's
segregationist.
- He is as unbending as the Sel
mans. But the civil rights movement
is also unbending.
"This is a new day for the
Southj: said Mrs. Amelia Boyn
ton, Alabama secretary of the
Southern Christian Leadership
Conference. "They have got to
realize this." !
But the Selmans don't or won't.
And the situation there is at
breaking point.
So there is trouble in the heart
nf the superstate, but the resi

dents don't admit guilt. "The fault
of outside agitators," they say.
To some degree they are right
and militant rights leaders must
share some blame for the in
juries and deaths that have re;
suited.
But the stark fact remains that

S.C. Lawmakers
Given Proposals
For Speaker Ban
Several anti-communist speak

North Carolina's Speaker Ban
Law, were introduced Wednesday
into the South Carolina legisla
ture. One bill would prohibit campus
talks by known Communists, per
sons who advocate the overthrow
of the U. S. or South Carolina
constitutions, and persons who
have pleaded the 5th amendment
in loyalty cases. . .
Introduction of the speaker-ban
proposals came three weeks after
a lecture at Winthrop College by
Dr. Stringfellow Barr, an avow
ed opponent of the House Un
American Activities Committee.
Gov. Donald Russell, who just
this week cautioned Winthrop
College to screen its speakers
more carefully, said Wednesday
that he questioned "The need for
this type of legislation in our
state."
Winthrop President Charles S.
Davis said yesterday that he is
opposed "to any so-called speaker
ban law."

Katzenbach Pledges Action
Against M Deputies
WASHINGTON U!) Atty. Gen.
Nicholas Katzenbach , pledged
Thursday the government will
move promptly to file' charges
against Alabama deputies and
state troopers he said violated
federal law in a Sunday civil
rights confrontation at Selma.
Katzenbach said federal officials
are "working around the clock"
to identify people responsible for
violations.
"The violations would come out
of the fact that they used a total
ly unreasonable use of force under
the circumstances," he said.
The confrontation came in Sel
ma, Ala., as civil rights demon
strators tried to launch a march
on Montgomery, the state capital;
Katzenbach said investigations
are underway now in an attempt
to linK individuaiswltn tne specif
ic offenses he considers involv
ed. ; ' .... ' ..
Potentially, Katzenbach said,
100 Alabama officers could be in
volved. But he said specific com
plaints could not be substantiat
ed against all of them.
In his televised news conference,
Katzenbach also said he expects
to submit to the President tomor
row recommendations for voting
rights legislation, and expects
the President will send congress
a message on the - subject next
week.
Meanwhile, in Montgomery, Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. took his
spreading Negro voter drive into
federal court Thursday and told
the judge that unless his people
could march, a racial explosion
would result.
King said he ; led a massive
street march in Selma two days
ago in the face of a court ban
only after a federal spokseman
handed him a march route and
said, "I think everything will be
alright."

WASHINGTON UP) Increas
ing concentration of enemy battle
units in South Viet Nam was re
ported Thursday with hints that
the United States may apply more
pressure on Viet. Gong and their
North Vietnamese partner.
Not only have more red battal
ions been observed in the north
and central portions of South Viet
Nam over the last two or three
months, but increasing numbers
of soldiers who are natives of
Red North Viet Nam have been
found among prisoners captured
from Viet Cong outfits.
Defense weapons experts have
said the quality of arms used by
the Communists has been improv
ing steadily in the past six or
eight months.
The weapons, manufactured by
the Chinese from Russian models,
range from assault rifles to anti
tank bazooka type weapons;
The experts praised the quality
of the arms, which seemed rather
heavy considering the small sta
ture of . most Vietnamese who
would use them.
The official U. S position on
South Viet Nam was restated
Thursday by ' Secretary of De
fense Robert S. McNamara in
testimony before the House For
eign Affairs Committee. He re
peated the declaration he made
recently in his annual military
posture statement, saying that if
South Viet Nam faills to the Com
munists the United States would
"have to face the same problem
all over again in another place
or, permit them to have all of
Southeast Asia by default."
A meeting by President Johnson
with McNamara and Secretary of
State Dean Rusk last night gave
rise to speculation that methods
for tightening the pressure on the
Viet Cong and North Vietnamese
reds, and new and more far
ranging air strikes against North
Viet Nam might have been dis
cussed. -

form of two Marine battalions sent

. Except for the Marine outfits
for defense of the Dan Nang Air
Base area, no single large unit
has been sent into South Viet
Nam. The buildup from a low
point of about 16,000 more
than a year ago to nearly 27,000
has been through individuals or
small units of 100 men or less.
At this point, there seems to
be no firm indication that any
large size American units, per
haps as big as an infantry divi

Nam are being kept in fluid state.
Gen. Harold K. Johnson, the

'Moral9 Task Force
To Visit Wednesday
Members of a Moral Re-Armament task force, on a speaking
tour of southern universities, will be here Wednesday at 3 p.m.
in Memorial Hall. Carolina Forum will sponsor the visit.
Olympic Gold Medal winner and three times member of
Helm's Hall of Fame for rowing Richard Wailes heads the
task force.
Wailes describes MRA as "an idea which will equip man
kind to live in the nuclear age."
Traveling with Wailes and his wife Lynn are Charlotte Daneel,
daughter of international rugby football player George Daneel;
Emiko Chiba, of Japan whose grandfather is a member of
parliament and leading advisor to the cabinet; and the three
Colwell Brothers, television and recording stars from Hollywood,
who have just returned from a 174,000-mile tour of 37 countries
on six continents.
The Colwell Brothers have composed a song for UNC and
will sing it here.
At the request of the U. S. Olympic Committee, Wailes wrote
the statement of aims and goals adopted by the 1964 U. S. team.
Because of his training with Moral Re-Armament he was asked
to give orientation to the entire team on how to represent America
most effectively while in Japan.
The effect of his work drew comment by the Japanese and
Russian press on the sense of purpose and discipline in Americans.
