National Librar} Week is to beqbserved from
April 17 through 23. It symbolizes a service
and a need that are of the utmost importance
in this complex modern world.
A library is many things. It is, first of all,
a repository of the thoughts, the wisdoms,
and failures and successes, and vnts great
and small which marred or brightened the cen-
turies which have passed. H holds, within its con-
fines, the history of man and nature.

It is impossible to conceive of a world with-
out libraries. Never In the endless reach of
history has knowledge been so important. That
is true of the knowledge that lies behind the
miracles of science and invention which are
transforming life more swiftly than we realize.
And it is true, above all, of the knowledge that
comes out of the past and that deals with the
principles and attitudes and values that trans-
cend the material and give true fh waning to the
existence and perpetuation of mankind.

Once again Communist terrorists have sue-'
cessfully bombed a U.S, officer’s billot in’sai-
gon, killing several people. Yet still, on direct
orders of our Commander-in-Chief, the enemy
high command in North Vietnam’s capital city
of Hanoi is guaranteed sanctuary from attack,
by our own or South Vietnamese forces. The
official U.S. “White Paper” on Vietnam issued
in February of- last year expressly states that
the “campaign of terror and armed attack”
in south Vietnam is “inspired, directed, sup-
plied and controlled by the Communist re-
gime in Hanoi.”
Several explanations have been offered by our
policymakers as to why they still" insist on
giving sanctuary to the enemy high command,

Fool’s Gold
One of the big worries for our Treasury
Department these days as the smuggling in from
abroad of counterfeit U.S. gold coins. Now it
isn't likely that you’ll be handed one of these
with your change at the grocery store. But
we feel it our duty, nonetheless, to alert our .
readers to this problem.
It isn't easy. Especially the counterfeits made
in the Soviet Union which are said to be so
well done (including an “antiquing*' process)
that they can’t be distinguished from the real
thing. even by experts, just be looking at
them. Apparently chemical analysis is the only
sure way and that's because the Soviet* made
counterfeits have, a slightly higher gold con-
tent than the ones Uncle Sam used to make.
Real gold in counterfeit coins Sounds fool-
ish. doesn’t it But the fact is those Communist
counterfeitegswget-much more for their gold
that way than if they sold it in its.raw form *
As for American "collecters"’ who might buy
these phonies, it is rumored thatimmany who’ve
recently taken up the hobby are more inter-
ested in the gold content than in the numis-
matic value, and don't mind paying a premium
price.
Why, then, is our Treasury Department so
concerned, since American purchasers of those
new gold pieces don't feel they're being gypped?
A friend of ours suggests that it's only logical,
now that Uncle Sam is making coins without
precious metals, that any foreign product with
real gold in it just has to be banned. But act-
ually the Treasury Department is only trying
to protect us from ourselves. It's not only •
counterfeit U.S. gold pieces they ’re try mg to
keep out of the country. but legitimate foreign
gold coins as well, except those which the
department decides are rare or unusual enough
to have special value to honest-to-goodness

coms into this country, that gold reserve in-
trusted to centralized government care dropped
by $100 million because of sales to foreign
countries.
We’re reminded of another statement which
we believe predates the 1933 Gold Act: “A
fool and his gold are soon parted.”
LETTER TO
THE EDITOR
Sir:
“The present hour is es-
pecially grave"--Pope PaulVI.
Well does he realize that a
mistake or a madman could set
oti a nuclear holocaust that
would leave this earth a sham-
ble.
Why can't we have peace?
Why war with its death, de-
struction, disfigurement, sor-
row, suffering and ruin? The
peace convention held in New
York recently did not bring out
the important truth that peace
is a gift of God, our Creator
and Redeemer. The various
speakers did not mention the
Prince of Peace, Our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ. How can
we hope to attain peace among
nations without Him Who said:
“Without Me you can do noth-
ing."
War is the result of sin, of
widespread violation and re-
jection of the Ten Command-
ments and the Golden Rule, and
is a punishment by. God in-
tended to bring back His dis-
obedient and rebellious chil-
dren from the ways of sin and
infidelity. War is a kind of
fearful foretaste of hell.
Would that more leaders in
both church and state realized
and emphasized this truth.
Would that we had another St.
Francis to conduct a great cru-
sade for peace and good will,
to go from place to place
preaching on the love of God
and love of neighbor, to help
banish crime, corruption, dis-
cord, hatred, injustice and ma-
terialism.
Let us say fervently every
day the following prayer for
peace; O God, from whom are
holy desires, right counsels and
just works, give to Thy ser-
vants that peace which the world
cannot give, that our hearts may
be disposed to obey Thy Com-
mandments, and the fear of
enemies being removed, our
times, by Thy protection, may
be peaceful. Through our Load
Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who
lives and reigns with Thee in
the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God forever and ever. Amen.

were in town Tuesday.
Since our last issue of the
Leader, nearly four inches of i
rain has fallen breaking all for-
mer records for this time of
year and placing a crop season
in the ground equal to that of
1906, the great crop year. It
began falling about 9 o'clock
last Thursday night and continu-
ed almost without ceasing tor
twenty-eight hours. It came just
in time to be of greatest benefit
to wheat and other small grains
which would have been lost with
another week's dry weather.
The rain Thursday night was ac-
companied by some hall that did
some damage to crops but fruit
trees were not*serlously injur-
ed. The roof of the Court House
and the roof of the High School
building were considerably da-
maged by the hall and leaked
greatly during the heavy rain
that followed. The rain started
with a drizzle which continued
through Friday night and it went
into the dry earth as it fell, but
Saturday it quickened its pace
and got down to raining in ern-
est This last rain did some da-
mage in the way of washing, and
put creeks and branches on the
rampage. The main lineofC.R.
I.&G. was washed out at some
points between Bridgeport and
Fort Worth, and as a result,
the train that was due here at
9:30 Sunday night did not arrive
until 5 o’clock Monday after-
noon. The rural mall lines were
nearly put out of business for
the time being, but some of them
ventured out and a part of the
mall was delivered. The Clear
Fork and Brazos rivers are re-
ported to be high, but they are
both within their banks and no
damage has been reported so
far. The rain breaks a six
month drouth, the last good rain
received here having fallen the
first of October. Farmers ev-
ery place are jubilant over the
extremely flattering prospects
for another great crop year.

Corley and Earl Walker called

and power should not be allowed
to make repealed attempts to con-
vict an individual for an alleged
offense, thereby subjecting him to
embarrassment, expense and or-
deal and compelling him to live
in a continuing stale of anxiety
and insecurity."
Yet society, by giving up its
second chance of winning a con-
viction. takes the risk of letting
some real criminals go, free. To
prevent double jeopardy from pro-
viding an "easy out" for rascals,
the law puts careful limits on the
rule.
Consider three examples:
A mail fraud.trial was called
off because the judge became
seriously ill:
a murder trial was halted by
the discovery that the defendant
had smuggled a friend onto the
jury:
a forgery trial ended in dead-
lock when the jurors found them-
selves unable lo agree on a ver-
diet
in each of these cases a second
trial was begun Each time the
defendant objected that he could
not be tried again because of
"double jeopardy "
But each time the objection was
overruled For in none of these
situations had the basic question
of guilt or innocence really been
answered. Through no fault of the
prosecution, the law's machinery
had been stopped short, its task
yet undone
in fairness to the accused, we
do not ask him to face jeopardy
twice But in fairness to society,
we do ask him to face it once.
Society, too. is entitled to its "day
in court."

give’ — we will not make any
concessions .. .”
When we know in advance
that the Communists will not
make any concessions, of what
use would it be to sit down with
them around the conference
table? They -da not want peace.
Their purpose is conquest. Their
filing term purpose hyond con-
quest of territory is the destruc-
tion of free enterprise capitalism
—the whole concept of private
property and free government.
That is their gosl, and they will
not waver from it nor relax their
efforts for one instant.
If they make progress toward
that goal with conferences, they
will confer, but we should not
expect any concession whatso-
ever. The only possible way of
dealing with Communism is to
defeat it. They know, even if we
do not, that we are engaged
in a mortal struggle. Western
Christian civilization can survive
only by defeating Communism.
We refused to do that in Ko-
res, and the war in Vietnam is
the result. We refused to do it in
Cuba. and now from' 25,000 to
30,000 subversives ar being
trained in tnat country by Rus-
sian, Czech and Chinese teachers
to fan out to Latin America.
The immediate purpose is to put
the United States further on the
defensive. Cuba symbolizes the
Communist war for the Western
Hemisphere as Vietnam is the
center for the Communist strug-
gle for Asia.
If we would only recognize
that thia ia mortal combat be-
tween two systems, and that only
one,can survive, we would have
the basis for formulating a for-
eign policy.

less would have won. Only the most chauvinistic
Communist would argue that Stalin could have
kepi from going under if it hadn’t been for
the massive aid he ‘received from the United
States,
So we might have Seen Hitler and his gen-
erals dictating a humiliating peace to the Com-
munist leaders in the Kremlin. And today we
would be opposing not the spread of Com-
munism but the nightmare world outlined by
Adolf Schickelgruber in HMein Kampf.”
Had that happened, would a few strategically
placed Nazi opinion-makers in the United States
have forced Chiang Kai-shek to form a coalition
government in China, with Nazis prominent in
that government-- with the result that the na-
tionwas bound to become a vast Nazi satellite:
Would we have stood tor the actions of Nazi
gauleiters infiltrating and taking over one coun-
try after another and placing them at the
service of the Nazi fatherland? Specifically,
would we have stood for the takeover of Cuba
by a Nazi Quisling, first welcoming this brutal
gauleiter to the U.S.A and giving him a publicity
buildup on leading television shows Would we
have sat idly by while thousands of Naz-tech-
nicians and storm troopers built missile bases
in that country, despite U.S demands that they
get out?
Would we now’ be complacently permitting
hordes of pro-Nazis to demonstrate against
.and obstruct a war, it Hitler were backing
our opponents and calling on pro-Nazis in this
country to sabotage our war effort?
Would we tolerate having known Naz storm
troopers and gestapo agents recruiting for the
. Nazi Party on our nation’s campuses, aided
and abetted by faculty members openly ped-
dling the Nazi line'1 And would the U.S. Supreme
Court come up with one ruling after another
making it virtually impossible'to take effective
action against Hitler’s agents?
As the saying goes, these questions are
rhetorical because everybody knows the an-
swers. The nxt question is definitely not
rhetorical: How is it we’re so all-tired com-,
placent and tolerant of Communist activities
which are every bifasevil as those we'd
properly end if they were being. promoted by
Nazis':
Will the American peopte
protest to their representatives
or will they shrug their shoula-
ers and calmly await the dic-
tatorship?
KXUQY SOME THING ' ” ew
Federal Control of Education
State and local governments have abdicated,
willingly or otherwise, all manner of responsi-
bilities to the federal government. The results
has been to put the nonfederal governments in
much the position of -mendicants, going hat in
hand to- Washington for more and more of their
needs and wants.
A particularly alarming trend is found in the
field of education. The proposed federal budget
for the next fiscal year contains appropriations
totaling an astonishing $10 billion foreducation.
\ecording to the Portland Oregonian, not long
ake only about $1 in each $100‘spent for educa-
tion at the local level came from the federal
government. Now the figure approaches $10
in each $100.
This caused the paper to say: “...the states
should not leave the doing to the federal govern-
ment. The states and localties must remain the
senior partner in education unless they are will-
ing to acquiesce in a fundamental change in
American education in which central control is
substituted for local control--an arrangement
which is not recommended by Its practice in
many other countries.”
When the federal government pays, the federal
government controls and orders, If the present
trend continues, it won’t be long until Washington
is the almost absolute boss of education every-
where in this country, and local authorities are
virtually powerless administrative agencies
through which federal funds are siphoned for
purposes and programs decided upon by federal
agencies. One can hardly conceive of a less
"appealing situation than that.
SS Lather -
Sa Constructs
This column warned repeat-
edly in the last sixteen years
that federal aid to education
would mean eventual rigid con-
trol. Long before a weak kneed
Congress succumbed to pres-
sure for federal aid, plans were
readied for combining civil
rights laws with education to
force not merely integregation
but association bey ond any sug-
gestion yet made to the public.
In 1965 the Office of Edu-
cation issued a set of rules
dealing with desegregation of
public schools. There were five
loosely printed pages with as-
surance that “precise up to the
minute stastics were not re-
quired.” Freedom of choice was
emphasized with no zones to
be considered which seems to
have worked far to smoothly
to suit the planners.
In 1966 the Office of Edu-
cation issued a Revised State-
ment of Policies for School
Desegregation that far exceeds
any law by Congress nor is it
backed by an edict of the Su-
preme Court. There are ten
closely printed pages fairly
bristling with commands, de-
mands, notices, reports, com-
pliances, deadlines, and forms
along with 92 uses of the word
“must".
The dictatorial revision,
even though It will not effect
cities of less than 20,000 pope-
lation, may have disastrous
potentialities for the five states
opposing the “great” society.
School authorities are to silence
all contrary thought and pro-
pagandize for centralized dict-
ation. Specific reports were or-
dered for a specific time, us-
ing a specific language, on a
specific form, by specific ord-
ers of unelected bureaucrats.
Records must be kept for a
long period of time and an-
nouncements from Washington
are to be made in local papers
at local expense.
The Civil Rights Act exempt
teachers from the employment
provision (See. 604) but die
Washington planners have other
ideas. While preaching non-
discrimination they call for dis-
-crimination in stating “Each
only once in a while they can, with impunity,
continue to do wo indefinitely.
Although we’ve not heard it used so much
lately, a longstanding theme of the official ex-
planations of this softness towards the enemy
high command has been that »by our restraint
we are proving that we're really for peace.”
No matter that President Johnson, himslef,
has expressed that idea on several occasions,
we say it's pure hogwash. The surest way to
save Saigon from continued terroristic attacks
is to hit Hanoi hard enough that the enemy high
command will know it's unsafe to allow any
more such raids in Sajgon. And the surest
way to really prove to wiyone that we’re for
peace is to demonstrate clearly to the Com-
munist violators of peace, in Hanoi and any-
where else, that unless they knock it off we'll
knock them off.
We heard an interesting story the other day
about a young woman who recently married an.
associate professor. He happens to tie one of
those campus conformists, 100 percent in favor
of whatever is ordained by the far,left. Much
of his time is spent in demonstrating, issuing
manifestos, rounding up signatures for petitions,
and otherwise leading the life of a modern
scholar, • •
Of course he is against the war in Vietnam,
and like his fellow conformists from the groves
of Academe, he insists that the U.S. should
get out of Asia, if that means the Communists
take over, so be it.
His wife ardently supports his views and
echoes his notions whenever the opportunity
presents itself. ----- --—,
- Now it so happen-, that the young .woman’s
father strongly disagrees on this. He fought in
two Wrld Wars and thinks he knows more
about war than his sheltered., professor son-
in-law does. Bad as wars are, he believes
that there are times when there's nothing else
you can do but fight. Kaiser Wilhelm and Adir
Hitler menaced the world and had to be fought,
and he can't see why it’s some sort of crime
against humanity to shoot at Comma lists when
they come shooting at you.
The daughter and son-in-law, being highly
intellectual, refuse to see any logic in this,
and the daughter, at least, tries to persuade
her father that he’s wrong.
However, the other day she trapped herself
in one of her letters when she told her father
about a local incident. Four young girls were
walking through a tough neighborhood when
they were attacked by a goup of hoodlums. A
cab driver went to their aid and when he was
being overcome a passing young man pitched
in to help, being stabbed in the melee.
Describing the incident, the professor’s wife
was foil of praise for the bravery of the cab
driver and the boy. As for the hoodlums, she
wrote: "I‛s too bad kids get their kicks out
of snatching purses, too bad they hate the world
so much that they stab at it, too bad there

There was the "dahger of escalation" excuse,
for one. About a year ago this was used to -
explain why we should not conduct air strikes
against any targets in North Vietnam. That
one has grown thin, indeed, as an explanation
for not bombing Hanoi, now that our forces
have been, allowed to strike elsewhere tn the
North, without the calamitous consequences
which such "Escalation" was Once said to be
sure to bring about.
We’ve seen reports, citing convpniently anony-
mous official sources, that one of the reasons
for not bombing Hanoi is that the enemy might
then make even more terrorist raids on Sai-
gon That's like letting some lolly hit you in
the face again and again, instead of striking
.back and compelling him to stop, for fear he
might hit you even harder. How comforting it
must be to that enemy regime in Hanoi to

school system has a positiv
duty to discriminate in assign-
ment of the teaching staff where
it will be impossible to observe
whether it was formerly a
school attended predominately
by one race.”
Said Richard Day, attorney
for the U.S. Office of Educa-
tion, “...There is no free choice
for teachers. The only tree
choice a teacher will have if
she objects to being assigned
to a predominately Negro
school, is to quit.” He added,
“some teachers feel tenure ap-
plies to a certain school. That
is not true. Tenure is with the
system.” Thus it seems 'all
education is conformity, uni-
formity, integregated and con-
trolled:
Freedom of choice for the
public as to which school they
attend, must, according to the
planners, depend on whether
they choose one with a racial
balance. The “free choice” of
parents and pupils will be care-
fully “scrutinized” by the edu-
cation commissioner and if
there is not a careful balance
of color, he may “require"
the school system to adopt a
different plan. This could mean
only bussing children across the
city to please the dictates of
the planners. This is contrary
to law and is another bureau-
cratic edict pulled from the hat.
Another phase of the sinister
plans of the unelected educators
was revealed in Education
Commissioner Howe’s reply to
the question of what could hap-
pen under court orders (suehas
Dallas) if they conflict with
the 1966 revision. Howe made
it very clear that bureaucratic
regulations had already been
sent to all federal judges with
the request they comply by fol-
lowing dictated guide lines.
The above paragraph should
chill the spines of Americans
who are of the opinion ours is
a nation of law. If the judic-
iary reaches its decisions, not
by law but on the whim of un- <
elected dictators, then “the land
of the free and the home of
the brave" is ripe for anarchy.
It is well to remember that
Adolph Hitler broke no laws
when he murdered and starved
his enemies, for while they slept
thinking all was well, he changed
the law.
Writing the President topre-
test the 1966 Revision that will
only result in riot and revo-
lution in the cities of the South,
Senator Strom Thurmond said,
“...the bureaucratic regula-
tions constitute a blatant at- l
tempt to satisfy radical de-
mands of racial militants for
governmental cur . for. racial
Inbalance. As such they make a
mockery of freedom by sub-
stituting compulsion for free-
dom of choice".
The Chattanooga News-Free
Press said of Howe, ’’....be
claims’ freedom of choice" is
designed to escape integre-
gation. So he would toroo whiten
to go to schools contrary to
their choice and force Negroes
to go to schools contrary to
their schools although schools
are open to both without dis-
crimination...Every day there
is new evidence of the cost of
not heeding the warnings of
those who oppose federal aid
to education. Every day there
is more unjust encroachment
by bureaucracy."
