Civil Rights Bill- UNMASKED
\ §. S. United States
In 1789, Our Forefathers banded together
thirteen colonies and set out to build a
SHIP—a SHIP OF STATE. This ship was
to sail over the land and sea waves of the
newly discovered America as a FREEDOM
SHIP for its people who had come here to
exercise their religious freedom.
In order to build this Freedom Ship, a ship-
yard was needed, which at that time was
occupied by the Redcoats.
An army was needed to clear this land,
hence the American militiamen were called
on, and were organized into what was known
as The Minutenien, which grew larger into
an Army led by General Georgs Washington.
After many battles on land and sea and
at the cost of many lives, the land for the
shipyard was cleared and the keel for the
new ship was laid, The ship was to be named
the §. S. UNITED STATES and the keel
‘CONSTITUTION:
‘Blected Captain of this proud ship was the
leader of the American Revolution, George
Washington. Next to be elected were the
Senate and Congress, who as representatives
of the people would be the officers aboard
this ship and be responsible for her safety.
Leaders of other branches of govermment
were elected, but down in the hold of this
mighty were the people, who were
riding on the Constitutional keel and formed
a powerful engine, which would be the
driving force, keeping her on a straight
true course to freedom.
The S. S. UNITED STATES was launched
July 4, 1776 and sailed with pride for many
years, but the people grew careless and
allowed the outside of her hull to become
coated with foreign barnacles and boring
from the inside by red termites. Guns were
mounted on her decks and rifles handed the
people. In 1917 she ran aground on the
beaches of a foreign country involved in a
bloody war.
After much money was spent and many
lives were lost, this great ship pulled off the
foreign beach and floundered back to her
shores, carrying more foreign barnacles and
red termites.
Twenty years of sabotage again sent this
SHIP OF STATE into a second world war
on a foreign land and after suffering the
cost of many more lives and much money
she again returned to her shores, riddled
With foreign infiltration and listing danger-
‘oday the good ship S. S. United States
is going down, unless you, her passengers,
come out of the hold and start fighting to
keep her afloat. You elected these officers
to run this ship. They are waiting for you
to tell them what course to take, ACT NOW!
The red termites are at work—night and
day—trying to put the finishing touches
on this once proud ship. The tool they
using to send her to a slimy communist
bottom is a eS BILL now on

National Emergency Alert
This EMERGENCY ALERT is issued for |
the purpose of alerting the American public,
regardless of race, to the imminent and
dangerous threats to our few remaining
constitutional rights, freedoms and liberties
posed by the so-called Civil Rights Bill now
awaiting action in the U.S. Senate.
Dissenting members of the House Judi-
ciary Committee have reported that “IN
TRUTH AND IN FACT, the bill under the
cloak of protecting the civil rights of cer-
tain minorities, will DESTROY civil rights
of ALL citizens of the United States who
fall within its scope, and that Congress
would abnegate its duty to consider and
protect All of the Nation's citizens.”
tis impossible for the average citizen to
'Tealize how seriously this proposed uncon-
stitutional legislation will adversely affect
his life and the future of these United Sta
until he has read “Unmasking the Civi

/ We are not opposed to any LEGITIMATM -
constitutional rights for the Negro race but
are definitely, violently and uncompromis-

\ SPECIAL rights for them or any other race

The rights proposed in this Civil Rights
Bill are not legitimate or constitutional
rights for any person—black, white or in-
termediate—but simply SPECIAL PHIVI-
LEGE for a minority, DENIAL of consti-
jutional rights of a majority, and unheard
of DICTATORIAL POWERS for the Fed-
eral Government over ALL the people.
The only governments in the world today
having such power and contro] over the
lives of their people, as is called for m this
Civil Rights Bill, are communist governments,
such as the Soviet Union and its satellites.

of our Nation had in mind for us?

tare-Statism, One-Worldism and Communism.
Now, of all things, we are being told that
we must have One-Racism, regardless of our
Constitution.
We have suffered through the debauchery
of our currency; the corruption of our of-
ficials, high and low; the sell-out and sur-
render of our sovereignty and cur Army,
Navy and Air Force through treasonable
and traitorous acts of officials in our Gov-
ernment; the humiliation of seeing our Flag
desecrated) in foreign lands and innocent
citizens i and murdered in cold
blood; our fliers shot down and ransom
paid for their release; members of our
Armed Forees taken prisoners, and mur-
dered in cold blood, and others still
prisoners and slaves to this day; property
of citizens and the United States stolen,
confiscated and destroyed without compen-
sation; and finally, the Monroe Doctrine
scrapped and enemy troops stationed
within 90 miles of our shores in appease-
ment of the most murderous,
lying traitor that has ever trod the face of
the earth.
What has'this to do with the Civil Rights
Bill? a It points up to the fact
that this thly sickness and erosion of
principles within our Government has spread
like a cancerous growth until it has now in-
fected our whole Nation, The Executive and
Judicial Branches of our Government,

tempted to appease the Negro race and we

Senator Kichard 8, Racker (D-Ga.)
Sen, Russell and many other Democrats

that this so-called “Civil Rights” Bill is a

are fighting hard to defeat it, They need

that we may get hold of ourselves and not
go off the deep end with this legislation. It
is common knowledge that if a secret ballot
could be taken on this bill in its present form
If WOULD NOT GET 50 VOTES.
“Tf we do not stand up and be counted in
this chamber for what we Imow is legally
required by the Constitution of the United
States of America, then what are we pre-
serving? Do we have majority rule in this
land or don’t we?
A substantial proportion of the Members
of this House are lawyers, sworn to uphold
the Constitution as lawyers, and sworn again
as Members, This is our oath, this is our
duty, Se
Since ihe above words were spoken by
Representative Wyman, 290 members of the
House of Representatives deliberately violated
their oaths of office by voting for this un-
constitutional legislation.
These same Representatives were no doubt
aware of the fact when they voted for this
legislation that right in our Nation's capital
city of Washington, white women and girls
have been, and are being, attacked, raped,
and beaten unmercifully in broad daylight
in churches, offices, stores and homes, If
this vicious Civil Rights Bill should pass,
what can we expect next?
We have seen our Constitution slowly de-
and the “NEW FRONTIER DEAL.” Now
that we are supposed to have been sufficiently
brain-washed and inured to stomach any-
thing, we are being handed, through this so-
called Civil Rights Bill, the “ROTTEN
DEAL.”
For the information of the N
MUNIStappeasing members of the EEEtiitive,
Judicial and Legislative branches of our
government, and their aiders and abettors,
the white people of this nation feel that it
is time we received a “SQUARE DEAL,”
as guaranteed to us under the provisions of
the greatest document ever devised by human
minds and hands—THE CONSTITUTION
OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
After reading thirty pages of fine print
in the Congressional Record of July 29,
1963, which outlines the subversive character
and communist front affiliations of many
leaders of the NAACP, we are firmly con-
vinced that this legislation, which they are
attempting to push through Congress by
intimidation, is nothing but a Communist
calculated plan of enforced race-mixing to
divide, subvert and mongvelize this nation
to the point whete it will be a push-over
for the Communists.
There appears to be only one chance left
to defeat this unconstitutional legislation and
save our nation from another Civil War—
a Civil War that this time will be fought
between white and black ‘aces,
This one last chance lies within the United
States Senate where 100 Senators are bound
by their oaths to support and defend the
Constitution of the United States, Since this
Civil Rights Bill is clearly unconstitutional,
these 100 Senators cannot remain true to
their oaths and vote for this legislation.
It is up to those of us who cherish our
Constitution to let these 100 Senators know
that we them to live up to theimoaths.
To that end we offer the following sugges-
ti . . '
(1) To members of the Armed Forces and
their families who have had a foretaste of
this bill through that infamous “Gesell Re-
port” (See Roll Call Newsletter, Oct. 29, 1963
—copy on request) that is being rammed
down your throats, we say get busy today
and write, phéne or telegraph both of your
Senators and let them know in no uncertain
words what you think of this bill.
(2) To National and State Commanders
of the American Legion, Veterans of For-
eign Wars and the Disabled American Vet-
erans, we say go all out to have all Post
Commanders call special meetings of their
membership and urge each individual to
protest this legislation io both of his Sena-
tors, ~
(3) To patriotic, civic, fraternal, religious
and other veteran organizations we say to
hold mass protest meetings against this
legislation and urge everyone to swamp
their Senators with letters, telegrams and
phone calls.

EXTREME PROPOSALS
TIGHTENED IN'TO
EXTREME COMPROMISE
Supporters of the pending CIVIL RIGRTS
BILL call it a “compromise.” But those who
have been following the progress of the de-
bate report that the latest version can
hardly be called moderate, The truth is, two
or three wildly extreme proposals have been
tightened into one extreme compromise.
No matter what minor adjustments have
been made, the typical ‘American citizen
WILL FIND THAT IT IS HIS FREEDOM
WHICH HAS BEEN COMPROMISED. Some
Vague passages have been more clearly de-
fined. But the bill still provides for a sweep-
Ing extension of Federal power into new
areas, And the penalties are harsher.
IF A MAN BELONGS TO A UNION, for
instance, he'll find that his seniority rights
take second place to the whim of a Federal
commission. A union member may be laid
off or fired and a non-union member hired
in his plate if a Federal agent decides that
his employer has been discriminating.
A HOME OWNER WILL DISCOVER that
he can no Jonger choose the buyer oy tenant
for his house, Federal persorinel will make
the decision whether or not a prospect. is

the authority to withhold ov apply the stamp

A BANK DEPOSITOR may suddenly find
out that his savings no longer have the

penalties, FEDERAL AGENTS ARE GIVEN
THE POWER TO. ENTER any industelal or
union property, seize records, question em-
ployees and members, and investigate any
“matter as may be appropriate,” to quote
the words of the bill,
In short, there are two regions of NEW
FEDERAL POWER opened up, in the name
of protecting the civil rights of everyone.
The first one is the power to TERMINATE
FEDERAL GRANTS, which total multiple
billions of dollars cach year, and hold-a life
and death power over the financial stability
of whole cities and regions. This vast author-
ity would be-turned over to Federal agencies
without laying down any of the traditional
protections of due process of law, rules for
receiving evidence, or holding proper hear-
ings. Under this bill, A FEDERAL AGENT
HAS ONLY TO MAKE “AN EXPRESS.
FINDING.” In this, he would be guided by
his own .whim, prejudice or caprice. THe
‘Gudicial review” provided will be of little:
value,
The pares extraordinary power is the close

-serve all, customers, even if it is a his
‘business. The civil rights bill would make it
simpossible for him to ask the police to protect
this property in the event it appears that a
‘Tiot or disturbance may break out over
\racial problems. For, since the bill construes
such protection as a “state action” and thus
‘Prohibited by the Fourteenth Amendment,
‘the State, itself, is prohibited from inter-
fering (abetting).
‘A FILE CLERK or A STENOGRAPHER
~would soon realize that ability or neatness
‘may no longer be the crucial qualifications
in getting a job. Two girls of equal ability
would first have to meet the test of race and

hired where “teo many” people of that par-
ticular race were already employed. A per-
gon of one religion could not be considered
Where there were “too many” of that faith
already at work.
In fact, THE STRANGEST THING
ABOUT THE BILL is that it requires a re-

free to use and dispose of his property as‘in
the past whenever his home has been fin-
anced in the usual manner.
THERE WILL BE A FEDERAL AGENT
AT THE DOOR TO TELL HIM WHAT TO
DO!
Many homeowners assume that the CIVIL
RIGHTS BILL has nothing to do with
them. They assume the proposed legislation
has something to do with voting rights or
education. They think that because they do
not operate a large corporation im inter-
state commerce they will escape FEDERAL
REGULATION.
That ish’t so. The CIVIL RIGHTS BILL
grants power under which may be required
FEDERAL APPROVAL of the deal when
the homeowner goes to sell. Or to rent even
so much as ene room. At the same time, the
prospective homebuyer or renter must pass
FEDERAL INSPECTION before he can ac-
cept the owner's offer.
If, in the opinion of a FEDERAL INSPEC-
TOR, the homeowner's acceptance oF re
jection has the effect of discriminating on
grounds of race or national oxigin—inven-
tionally or unintentionally—ithen the deal
can be stopped. If a while man and a Negro
man with the same qualifications applied for
the same vacancy, then the race would be
the deciding test,
This: situation is contrary to the inupres-
sion most people have of the CIVIL RIGHTS
BILL. But “Oivil Rights” is only the coverup
for a giant instrument of FEDERAL CON-
TROL; the word “discrimination” is nowhere
defined in the text. The fact is—this bill sats
up broad powers of FEDERAL POLICE
ACTION to manipulate the social structure
in an effort to use FEDERAL FOROE to
cure “racial imbalance.”

VICIOUS CIVIL RIGHTS (?) BILL
What civil and property rights of 180 mil-
lion citizens are impaired by the so-called
Civil Rights Bill?
If the proposed legislation is enacted, the
President of the United States and his ap-
pointees—particularly the Attorney General
—would be granted the power to seriously
impair the following civil rights of those
who fall within the scope of the various titles
of this bill:
1, The right of freedom of speech and free-
dom of the press concerning “discrimination
or segregation of any kind” “at any estab-
lishment or place,” as delineated in the bill
(sees. 202-203).
2. The right of homeowners to rent, lease,
or sell their homes as free individuals (secs.
601-602).
8, The right of realtors and developers of
residential property to act as free agents
(secs, 601-602).
4, The right of banks, savings and Ioan
associations and other financial institutions
to make loans and extend credits in accord-
a with their best judgment (secs. 601-
).
5. The right of employers “to hire or dis-
charge any individual” and to determine “his
compensation, terms, conditions, or privi-
leges of employment” (title VII).
6 The seniority rights of employees in
corporate and other employment (title VII,
title VI via sec. 711 (b) ).
7. The seniority rights of all persons under
the Federal civil service (sec. 711 (a) ).
8. The seniority rights of labor union
members within their locals and in their
apprenticeship programs (title I, title VI
via sec. 711 (b) ),
9. The right of labor unions to choose their
members, to determine the rights accorded
to their members, and to determine the re-
lationship of their members to each other
(title VIL, title VI via sec. 711 (b) ).
10. The right of farmers to freely choose
their tenants aud employees (title. VI and
title VI).
ll. The right of farm organizations to
choose their members, to determine the
Fights accorded to their members, and the
of their members to each other
(tile VI and title VII).
42. The right of boards of trustees of pub-
lie and private schools and colleges to de-
termine the handling of students and teach-
ing staffs (title IV, title VI, title VIN).
13. The right of owners of inns, hotels,
mofels, restaurants, cafeterias, . Iunchrooms,
soda fountains, motion picture houses, the-
afters, concert halls, sports arenas, stadiums
and other places of entertainment to frecly
carry on their business in the service of their
customers (title HI, title VI, and title VII).
14, The right of the States to determine
the qualifications of voters in all Federal
élections and many State elections (title I).
15. The right of litigants to receive even-
handed justice in the Federal courts; this
legislation places civil rights litigants (par-
ticularly the Attorney General) in a special
ey with preference and advantage not
afforded parties in any other form of liti-
gation (sec. 101 (d), title IX).
The depth, the revolutionary meaning of
this act, is almost beyond description. It
cannot be circumscribed, it cannot be said
that it goes this far and no farther. The
language written into the bill is not of that
sort. It has open-end provisions that give it
whatever depth and intensity one desires to
read into it. In the language of the bill, “The
President is authorized to take such faction
as may be appropriate to prevent * * *" (sec.
711 (b) ), and “Each Federal department
agency " © " shall take action to effec-
** ™ (sec, G02), This vests, of course,
almost unlimited authority in the President
and his appointees to do whatever they de-
sire,
It is, in the most literal sense, revolution-
ary, destructive of the very essence of life
as it has been lived in this country since the
adoption of our Constitution.
Write to your U. S. Senators today to
vote against this un-American civil rights
bill!
Now that the reports of the House Judi-
ciary Committee have been published, dis-
cussion in Washington has been stirred
afresh. Congressmen regard their mail as
a barometer of public sentiment. They are
watching closely to see whether homeowners
react strongly to the new FEDERAL CON-
TROLS or not.
If your Senator or your Congressman
supports and passes HR 7152 (S. 1731), he
will have firmed-up your future in the
UNITED NATIONS and the WORLD GOV-
ERNMENT of INTERNATIONAL SOCIAL-
ISM and TOTALITARIAN DICTATORSHIP!
If this 88th Congress, 2nd Session passes
this bill, YOUR AMERICAN CONSTITU-
TIONAL INDEPENDENCE AND FREE-
DOM WILL HAVE EEEN TAKEN AWAY
FROM YOU PERMANENTLY: Get busy—
make your wishes known!

ADL & LBJ’S “Determination”
Washington (N.Y. Times) Jan. 5 - The
Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith took
an optimistic view today of the chances for
passage of civil richts legislation this year.
In its annual report on Congress and civil
rights, the league said President Johnson
‘had made clear “a determination to pass the
civil rights bill.”
' “Because the President has put his heart
and his unmatched knowledge of Congress
behind the bill,” the league said, “and be-
cause it is a Southerner in the White House
who will be appealing to the South, the bill
has become more possible to eo
The report warned, however, against
weakening of the bill by what Mr. Johnson
has on occasion called “the art of the pos-
sible.”
“Too often,” the report said, “the ‘possible’
implied a watered-down result obtained
without struggle, tears or challenge to the
powers-that-be. But what is possible without
struggle is quite different from what is pos-
sible with sweat and tears.”
The analysis was prepared by two league
officials who spend much of their time on
Capitol Hill working on legislation. They are
Herman Edelsberg, director of the (ADL)
Washington office, and David A. Brody,
Washington counsel. q
“Mr, Edelsberg said that efforts to trim the
civil rights bill as it goes through Congress
this session would doubtless concentrate on
two sections—outlawing discrimination in
employment and at places of public accom-
modation,
The report made the point that there
might be moves to trade these provisions
away to end the inevitable Southern [fili-
buster in the Senate.
The report saw the Senate Republican
Leader Everett McKinley Dirksen of Illinois
in a crucial position,
ie-has*said-he “is opposed “tothe ‘public
accommodation provision, However, the re-
port asked whether he would, nevertheless,
vote to close Senate debate on the bill, With-
out his aid, there is almost no chance to get
the needed two-thirds vote for closure.
The league praised what it called the
“political courage” of Attorney General
Robert F. Kennedy in the maneuvers that
got the bill out of the House Judiciary Com-
mittee last fall.
Mr. Kennedy was credited with “belling the
cat” when he said that a House Judiciary
subcommittee version of the measure, sup-
ported by some liberals, “was overloaded to
the point where it could drive away the
Republican support without which it could
not pass.”
The league’s report also saw a number of
factors aside from President Johnson's in-
terest working towards civil rights action
in ‘Congress.
Tt mentioned sympathy for President
Kennedy's program in the wake of his 8:
sassination, extraordinary civil rights act-
ivity .by church groups and the evident de-
termination of “the Negro himself.”
“Never before has there been so much
support for civil rights legislation,” the re-
port declared,
The Anti-Defamation League, founded in
1913, is a: Jewish organization established to
fight anti-Semitism and to seek “justice and
fair treatment for all citizens alike.”

Civil Rights Bill- UNMASKED
\ §. S. United States
In 1789, Our Forefathers banded together
thirteen colonies and set out to build a
SHIP—a SHIP OF STATE. This ship was
to sail over the land and sea waves of the
newly discovered America as a FREEDOM
SHIP for its people who had come here to
exercise their religious freedom.
In order to build this Freedom Ship, a ship-
yard was needed, which at that time was
occupied by the Redcoats.
An army was needed to clear this land,
hence the American militiamen were called
on, and were organized into what was known
as The Minutenien, which grew larger into
an Army led by General Georgs Washington.
After many battles on land and sea and
at the cost of many lives, the land for the
shipyard was cleared and the keel for the
new ship was laid, The ship was to be named
the §. S. UNITED STATES and the keel
‘CONSTITUTION:
‘Blected Captain of this proud ship was the
leader of the American Revolution, George
Washington. Next to be elected were the
Senate and Congress, who as representatives
of the people would be the officers aboard
this ship and be responsible for her safety.
Leaders of other branches of govermment
were elected, but down in the hold of this
mighty were the people, who were
riding on the Constitutional keel and formed
a powerful engine, which would be the
driving force, keeping her on a straight
true course to freedom.
The S. S. UNITED STATES was launched
July 4, 1776 and sailed with pride for many
years, but the people grew careless and
allowed the outside of her hull to become
coated with foreign barnacles and boring
from the inside by red termites. Guns were
mounted on her decks and rifles handed the
people. In 1917 she ran aground on the
beaches of a foreign country involved in a
bloody war.
After much money was spent and many
lives were lost, this great ship pulled off the
foreign beach and floundered back to her
shores, carrying more foreign barnacles and
red termites.
Twenty years of sabotage again sent this
SHIP OF STATE into a second world war
on a foreign land and after suffering the
cost of many more lives and much money
she again returned to her shores, riddled
With foreign infiltration and listing danger-
‘oday the good ship S. S. United States
is going down, unless you, her passengers,
come out of the hold and start fighting to
keep her afloat. You elected these officers
to run this ship. They are waiting for you
to tell them what course to take, ACT NOW!
The red termites are at work—night and
day—trying to put the finishing touches
on this once proud ship. The tool they
using to send her to a slimy communist
bottom is a eS BILL now on

National Emergency Alert
This EMERGENCY ALERT is issued for |
the purpose of alerting the American public,
regardless of race, to the imminent and
dangerous threats to our few remaining
constitutional rights, freedoms and liberties
posed by the so-called Civil Rights Bill now
awaiting action in the U.S. Senate.
Dissenting members of the House Judi-
ciary Committee have reported that “IN
TRUTH AND IN FACT, the bill under the
cloak of protecting the civil rights of cer-
tain minorities, will DESTROY civil rights
of ALL citizens of the United States who
fall within its scope, and that Congress
would abnegate its duty to consider and
protect All of the Nation's citizens.”

'Tealize how seriously this proposed uncon-
stitutional legislation will adversely affect
his life and the future of these United Sta

of DICTATORIAL POWERS for the Fed-

The only governments in the world today
having such power and contro] over the

Now, of all things, we are being told that
we must have One-Racism, regardless of our
Constitution.
We have suffered through the debauchery
of our currency; the corruption of our of-
ficials, high and low; the sell-out and sur-
render of our sovereignty and cur Army,
Navy and Air Force through treasonable
and traitorous acts of officials in our Gov-
ernment; the humiliation of seeing our Flag
desecrated) in foreign lands and innocent
citizens i and murdered in cold
blood; our fliers shot down and ransom
paid for their release; members of our
Armed Forees taken prisoners, and mur-
dered in cold blood, and others still
prisoners and slaves to this day; property
of citizens and the United States stolen,
confiscated and destroyed without compen-
sation; and finally, the Monroe Doctrine
scrapped and enemy troops stationed
within 90 miles of our shores in appease-
ment of the most murderous,
lying traitor that has ever trod the face of
the earth.
What has'this to do with the Civil Rights
Bill? a It points up to the fact
that this thly sickness and erosion of
principles within our Government has spread
like a cancerous growth until it has now in-
fected our whole Nation, The Executive and

Senator Kichard 8, Racker (D-Ga.)
Sen, Russell and many other Democrats

that we may get hold of ourselves and not
go off the deep end with this legislation. It
is common knowledge that if a secret ballot
could be taken on this bill in its present form

“Tf we do not stand up and be counted in
this chamber for what we Imow is legally
required by the Constitution of the United
States of America, then what are we pre-
serving? Do we have majority rule in this
land or don’t we?
A substantial proportion of the Members
of this House are lawyers, sworn to uphold
the Constitution as lawyers, and sworn again
as Members, This is our oath, this is our
duty, Se
Since ihe above words were spoken by
Representative Wyman, 290 members of the
House of Representatives deliberately violated
their oaths of office by voting for this un-
constitutional legislation.
These same Representatives were no doubt
aware of the fact when they voted for this
legislation that right in our Nation's capital
city of Washington, white women and girls
have been, and are being, attacked, raped,
and beaten unmercifully in broad daylight
in churches, offices, stores and homes, If
this vicious Civil Rights Bill should pass,
what can we expect next?
We have seen our Constitution slowly de-
and the “NEW FRONTIER DEAL.” Now
that we are supposed to have been sufficiently
brain-washed and inured to stomach any-
thing, we are being handed, through this so-
called Civil Rights Bill, the “ROTTEN
DEAL.”
For the information of the N
MUNIStappeasing members of the EEEtiitive,
Judicial and Legislative branches of our
government, and their aiders and abettors,
the white people of this nation feel that it
is time we received a “SQUARE DEAL,”
as guaranteed to us under the provisions of
the greatest document ever devised by human
minds and hands—THE CONSTITUTION
OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
After reading thirty pages of fine print
in the Congressional Record of July 29,
1963, which outlines the subversive character
and communist front affiliations of many
leaders of the NAACP, we are firmly con-
vinced that this legislation, which they are
attempting to push through Congress by
intimidation, is nothing but a Communist
calculated plan of enforced race-mixing to
divide, subvert and mongvelize this nation
to the point whete it will be a push-over
for the Communists.
There appears to be only one chance left
to defeat this unconstitutional legislation and
save our nation from another Civil War—
a Civil War that this time will be fought
between white and black ‘aces,
This one last chance lies within the United
States Senate where 100 Senators are bound
by their oaths to support and defend the
Constitution of the United States, Since this
Civil Rights Bill is clearly unconstitutional,
these 100 Senators cannot remain true to
their oaths and vote for this legislation.
It is up to those of us who cherish our
Constitution to let these 100 Senators know
that we them to live up to theimoaths.
To that end we offer the following sugges-
ti . . '
(1) To members of the Armed Forces and
their families who have had a foretaste of
this bill through that infamous “Gesell Re-
port” (See Roll Call Newsletter, Oct. 29, 1963
—copy on request) that is being rammed
down your throats, we say get busy today
and write, phéne or telegraph both of your
Senators and let them know in no uncertain
words what you think of this bill.
(2) To National and State Commanders
of the American Legion, Veterans of For-
eign Wars and the Disabled American Vet-
erans, we say go all out to have all Post
Commanders call special meetings of their
membership and urge each individual to
protest this legislation io both of his Sena-
tors, ~
(3) To patriotic, civic, fraternal, religious
and other veteran organizations we say to
hold mass protest meetings against this
legislation and urge everyone to swamp
their Senators with letters, telegrams and
phone calls.

EXTREME COMPROMISE
Supporters of the pending CIVIL RIGRTS
BILL call it a “compromise.” But those who
have been following the progress of the de-
bate report that the latest version can
hardly be called moderate, The truth is, two
or three wildly extreme proposals have been
tightened into one extreme compromise.
No matter what minor adjustments have
been made, the typical ‘American citizen
WILL FIND THAT IT IS HIS FREEDOM
WHICH HAS BEEN COMPROMISED. Some
Vague passages have been more clearly de-
fined. But the bill still provides for a sweep-
Ing extension of Federal power into new
areas, And the penalties are harsher.
IF A MAN BELONGS TO A UNION, for
instance, he'll find that his seniority rights
take second place to the whim of a Federal
commission. A union member may be laid
off or fired and a non-union member hired
in his plate if a Federal agent decides that
his employer has been discriminating.

the words of the bill,
In short, there are two regions of NEW
FEDERAL POWER opened up, in the name
of protecting the civil rights of everyone.
The first one is the power to TERMINATE
FEDERAL GRANTS, which total multiple
billions of dollars cach year, and hold-a life
and death power over the financial stability
of whole cities and regions. This vast author-
ity would be-turned over to Federal agencies
without laying down any of the traditional
protections of due process of law, rules for
receiving evidence, or holding proper hear-
ings. Under this bill, A FEDERAL AGENT
HAS ONLY TO MAKE “AN EXPRESS.

his own .whim, prejudice or caprice. THe
‘Gudicial review” provided will be of little:
value,
The pares extraordinary power is the close

simpossible for him to ask the police to protect
this property in the event it appears that a
‘Tiot or disturbance may break out over
\racial problems. For, since the bill construes
such protection as a “state action” and thus
‘Prohibited by the Fourteenth Amendment,
‘the State, itself, is prohibited from inter-
fering (abetting).

Many homeowners assume that the CIVIL
RIGHTS BILL has nothing to do with
them. They assume the proposed legislation
has something to do with voting rights or
education. They think that because they do
not operate a large corporation im inter-
state commerce they will escape FEDERAL
REGULATION.
That ish’t so. The CIVIL RIGHTS BILL
grants power under which may be required
FEDERAL APPROVAL of the deal when
the homeowner goes to sell. Or to rent even
so much as ene room. At the same time, the
prospective homebuyer or renter must pass
FEDERAL INSPECTION before he can ac-
cept the owner's offer.

TOR, the homeowner's acceptance oF re

This: situation is contrary to the inupres-
sion most people have of the CIVIL RIGHTS

for a giant instrument of FEDERAL CON-

VICIOUS CIVIL RIGHTS (?) BILL
What civil and property rights of 180 mil-
lion citizens are impaired by the so-called
Civil Rights Bill?
If the proposed legislation is enacted, the
President of the United States and his ap-
pointees—particularly the Attorney General
—would be granted the power to seriously
impair the following civil rights of those
who fall within the scope of the various titles
of this bill:
1, The right of freedom of speech and free-
dom of the press concerning “discrimination
or segregation of any kind” “at any estab-
lishment or place,” as delineated in the bill
(sees. 202-203).
2. The right of homeowners to rent, lease,
or sell their homes as free individuals (secs.
601-602).
8, The right of realtors and developers of
residential property to act as free agents
(secs, 601-602).
4, The right of banks, savings and Ioan
associations and other financial institutions
to make loans and extend credits in accord-
a with their best judgment (secs. 601-
).
5. The right of employers “to hire or dis-
charge any individual” and to determine “his
compensation, terms, conditions, or privi-
leges of employment” (title VII).
6 The seniority rights of employees in
corporate and other employment (title VII,
title VI via sec. 711 (b) ).
7. The seniority rights of all persons under
the Federal civil service (sec. 711 (a) ).
8. The seniority rights of labor union
members within their locals and in their
apprenticeship programs (title I, title VI
via sec. 711 (b) ),
9. The right of labor unions to choose their
members, to determine the rights accorded
to their members, and to determine the re-
lationship of their members to each other
(title VIL, title VI via sec. 711 (b) ).
10. The right of farmers to freely choose
their tenants aud employees (title. VI and
title VI).
ll. The right of farm organizations to
choose their members, to determine the
Fights accorded to their members, and the
of their members to each other
(tile VI and title VII).
42. The right of boards of trustees of pub-
lie and private schools and colleges to de-
termine the handling of students and teach-
ing staffs (title IV, title VI, title VIN).
13. The right of owners of inns, hotels,
mofels, restaurants, cafeterias, . Iunchrooms,
soda fountains, motion picture houses, the-
afters, concert halls, sports arenas, stadiums
and other places of entertainment to frecly
carry on their business in the service of their
customers (title HI, title VI, and title VII).
14, The right of the States to determine
the qualifications of voters in all Federal
élections and many State elections (title I).
15. The right of litigants to receive even-
handed justice in the Federal courts; this
legislation places civil rights litigants (par-
ticularly the Attorney General) in a special
ey with preference and advantage not
afforded parties in any other form of liti-
gation (sec. 101 (d), title IX).
The depth, the revolutionary meaning of
this act, is almost beyond description. It
cannot be circumscribed, it cannot be said
that it goes this far and no farther. The
language written into the bill is not of that
sort. It has open-end provisions that give it
whatever depth and intensity one desires to
read into it. In the language of the bill, “The
President is authorized to take such faction
as may be appropriate to prevent * * *" (sec.
711 (b) ), and “Each Federal department
agency " © " shall take action to effec-
** ™ (sec, G02), This vests, of course,
almost unlimited authority in the President
and his appointees to do whatever they de-
sire,
It is, in the most literal sense, revolution-
ary, destructive of the very essence of life
as it has been lived in this country since the
adoption of our Constitution.
Write to your U. S. Senators today to
vote against this un-American civil rights
bill!
Now that the reports of the House Judi-
ciary Committee have been published, dis-
cussion in Washington has been stirred
afresh. Congressmen regard their mail as
a barometer of public sentiment. They are
watching closely to see whether homeowners
react strongly to the new FEDERAL CON-
TROLS or not.
If your Senator or your Congressman
supports and passes HR 7152 (S. 1731), he
will have firmed-up your future in the
UNITED NATIONS and the WORLD GOV-
ERNMENT of INTERNATIONAL SOCIAL-
ISM and TOTALITARIAN DICTATORSHIP!
If this 88th Congress, 2nd Session passes
this bill, YOUR AMERICAN CONSTITU-
TIONAL INDEPENDENCE AND FREE-
DOM WILL HAVE EEEN TAKEN AWAY
FROM YOU PERMANENTLY: Get busy—
make your wishes known!

ADL & LBJ’S “Determination”
Washington (N.Y. Times) Jan. 5 - The
Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith took
an optimistic view today of the chances for
passage of civil richts legislation this year.
In its annual report on Congress and civil
rights, the league said President Johnson
‘had made clear “a determination to pass the
civil rights bill.”
' “Because the President has put his heart
and his unmatched knowledge of Congress
behind the bill,” the league said, “and be-
cause it is a Southerner in the White House
who will be appealing to the South, the bill
has become more possible to eo
The report warned, however, against
weakening of the bill by what Mr. Johnson
has on occasion called “the art of the pos-
sible.”
“Too often,” the report said, “the ‘possible’
implied a watered-down result obtained
without struggle, tears or challenge to the
powers-that-be. But what is possible without
struggle is quite different from what is pos-
sible with sweat and tears.”
The analysis was prepared by two league
officials who spend much of their time on
Capitol Hill working on legislation. They are
Herman Edelsberg, director of the (ADL)
Washington office, and David A. Brody,
Washington counsel. q
“Mr, Edelsberg said that efforts to trim the
civil rights bill as it goes through Congress
this session would doubtless concentrate on
two sections—outlawing discrimination in
employment and at places of public accom-
modation,
The report made the point that there
might be moves to trade these provisions
away to end the inevitable Southern [fili-
buster in the Senate.
The report saw the Senate Republican
Leader Everett McKinley Dirksen of Illinois
in a crucial position,
ie-has*said-he “is opposed “tothe ‘public
accommodation provision, However, the re-
port asked whether he would, nevertheless,
vote to close Senate debate on the bill, With-
out his aid, there is almost no chance to get
the needed two-thirds vote for closure.
The league praised what it called the
“political courage” of Attorney General
Robert F. Kennedy in the maneuvers that
got the bill out of the House Judiciary Com-
mittee last fall.
Mr. Kennedy was credited with “belling the
cat” when he said that a House Judiciary
subcommittee version of the measure, sup-
ported by some liberals, “was overloaded to
the point where it could drive away the
Republican support without which it could
not pass.”
The league’s report also saw a number of
factors aside from President Johnson's in-
terest working towards civil rights action
in ‘Congress.
Tt mentioned sympathy for President
Kennedy's program in the wake of his 8:
sassination, extraordinary civil rights act-
ivity .by church groups and the evident de-
termination of “the Negro himself.”
“Never before has there been so much
support for civil rights legislation,” the re-
port declared,
The Anti-Defamation League, founded in
1913, is a: Jewish organization established to
fight anti-Semitism and to seek “justice and
fair treatment for all citizens alike.”
