I have always so believed and I shall always so act.” Millions of us—me included —made sub stantially identical statements in 1948, and beforp..-.B.ut-.there, is. this difference: Judge Gaissy»idfc*'!^gsT*t6-be; efevafed to the Supreme Court, ‘ recently said: “I do not subscribe to these views now. I am not a racist.” Most of the rest of us who subscribed to those views in 1948 feel even more strongly now. But we are not running for office. Judge Carswell was a weekly newspaper editor and a candidate for local office when he made the “racist” statement in 1948. He was speak ing before an American Legion audience in Gordon, Ga., “answering” his three opponents, who he now says “made me out an integra tionist.” People do change, of course. Only fools never .change their minds. But everybody who thinks the Judge really changed his mind on that subject please hold up your hands. As for me, I believie the Judge was either insincere in 1948, -or is now. He couldn’t get elected in-fjßQrgia in 1948; as an integrationist and he couldn’t-get appointed to the Court now as a segregationist. ' Lord, whether they be integrationists or segl-eg&tiohists; please give us some honest lead ers! ‘ / During the so-called Eisenhower adminis tration, we had three economic recessions in- C <Jhe ianion C jforum By Marilyn ianion : SOCIALISM IN SCHOOL ' t i i generation—or a highly visible Segment of it, at least —continues to revolt on the campus.

Inflation went pn. .And on. Now we have more of,the same: recession and inflation. The way to head off ifliflation, as any one as stupid as Ralph Abernathy ritust'Know, is to slash government spending. President Johnson presided over the first -100- billion dollar budget. For the coming year, the fed eral budget will probably exceed 200 billion dollars. The reason is not primarily the Viet nam War, but the Welfare State. Nixon is not President; Santa Claus is President. The care and feeding of American Indians cost the American taxpayers more than SSOO million a year. That is $1,200 for each Indian. That is how ridiculous Big Brother government is. There is one paid government official taking care of Indians for every 18 Indians. Yet, Indians are our most impov erished minority group. Their problem is * alcoholism, malnutrition, poor sanitation, birth defects, infectious diseases and Big Brother. Did Big Brother ruin them or are they incapable of competing in modern society? Just returned from the Congo is a bearded hippiecist (that’s a hippie scientist —part hippie and part cist) who says that the midgets there live a better life than civilized people here do. Then why doesn’t he stay there? I will guarantee to raise whatever money is necessary to send whatever number of Americans who will volunteer, one-way passage to the Congo, if they will give up their uncivilized citizen ship here. The above hippiecist would of course head the list.—American Way Features very?familiar with the practical realities of life, as demonstrated by those professors who at tempt to go into politics or business. They usually fail at this because they are not fa miliar with the practical realities. Yet, they are • attemptihg to-turn out students who will have '. tolive in a practical world. : Socialism, is theory, and theory alone.
