Excerpt s~ •eta I to The N• Tutt '1'flill WASHINGTON, Jt'1'1/ 15 Foll.owing are e3:csrpfa t1&e testimony t oday by aou. M'fltl O. Wallace of Alabama before the Senate Commerce Conimi ttte on the bill to prohibit racial discrimination in public facilitie&: The leaders of the Federal Government have so misused the Negroes for selfish political reasons that our entire concept of liberty a.nd freedom is now in peril. We daily see our Government go to ridiculous extremes and take unheard-of actions to appease the minority bloc vote leaders of this country. I was a p ~ and a.ma.zed to read of t statement by Pentag~ cials relative to proposed rights investigations Qn military install&tlons. e was a. time when mili Installations in accordwere estab requirements ance with ' of the nation defense posture. Today these fficials use the threat of thdra.wal of military bases to accompl sh political purposes. Any officer or official who issues such orders should have his background investigated. Refers to Purple Hearts The Air Force is encourag~ging its personnel to engage m street demonstrations with rioting mobs and is even offering training credits as an inducement. Perhaps we will now see Purple Hearts awarded for street brawling-heretofore they were awarded on the field of combat. I note that by way of further intimidation, one of the President's committees has recommended that any business be placed off limits to military personnel unless they surrender to current Federal ideologies. Is the real purj'ose of this integration movement to disarm this country as the Communists have planned? I personally repent the actions of the Fed I Government which ha.v ated these ya!

A&ks Bill's Defeat This organization has been described by both the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee and the House Un-American Activities Committee as an organization "set up to promote Communism throughout the South. I come here today as an American, as a Governor of a sovereign state and as an individual with full respect for constitutional government. I appear to respectfully ca.II upon the Congress of the United States to defeat in its entirety the Civil Rights Act of 1963. The President of the United States stated in his message accompanying Senate bill 1732 that enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1963 a.t this session of Congress however long It may take and however troublesome it may be - Is Imperative." The President might well have further stated: "And however many people it hurts or businesses it destroys and regardless of the eights of the vast majority of our people." In my judgment, the President of the United States and the Attorney General of the United States, by design and political motivation, are sponsoring and fostering a complete and all-Inclusive change In our whole concept of government and society- The President so much 1u1 admitted this In his nationwide telecast .which prefaced .t he Introduction of this civil rights legislation. He wooed and ..von the minority· bloc vote. Since then he has committed a. series of blunders in trying to appease the mob leaders. These leaders have now . pressured the President Into the ridiculous position of placing his stamp ·of approval on mob violence and rioting in the streets of this country.
