Antagonism to racia} integration has

_ The disease is being spread by mem-
bers of the notorious White Citizens Coun-

Attorney-General’s list of subversives.

Evidence of how far thig madness ha
gone was supplied last week by the bold ac-
tivity of the Council at different peints.
In Nashville, Prof. Donal avidson of
the faculty of Vandereit Diniversity Jashed
out at what he calls the city’s “false doc-
rine of localigm and surrender to the-mix-
g of races in schools.”
He blamed the schoo! superintendent for
e situation, saying that it was he who
placed the teachers under a “rule of ail-
ence” forbidding them to discuss the issue.

While fulfilling a speabief“engagement
in Houston, Mrs. Eleanor R-esevelt recdiv-
ed a telegram Trom Uh Tr re-chapter' of
the White Citizens Council requesting her,
in no uncertain terms, to leave the state
“immediately.”
Members of the council came to the ho-
tel where she was speaking. They waiked
up and down the street outede of the build-
ing during the two hours she was at dinner.

She has a deep, consuming sympathy for
humanity at large, and has never failed to, -
bring a broad, balanced and wise point of
view to all great nations! and social prob-
lems, To insult her is not only unpardon-»
able, it is sheer madnes«
We repeat, it is high time that the
White Citizens Council be exposed for what
it is—a bunch of hoodlums, whethey at
Vanderbilt University in Nashville, of at
Sam Houston hotel in Houston.
