BS 100-35505 "If, as we all know to be the case, the state is failing to protect these rights, it is the responsibility of the President to ‘take such measures as he considers necessary! for such protection. "Tt is shocking that the Justice Dept. is unwilling to stand behind an action so strongly supported in law and so desperately needed out of sheer humanity. "ag far back as 1879, in a decision that has never been overturned, the Supreme Court (ex parte Siebold, 100 U. S. 7) declared: "tyTt is argued that the preservation of peace and good order in society is not within the powers confided to the government of the United States, but belongs exclusively to the states. We think that this theory is founded on an entire misconception of the nature and powers of that government. We hold it to be an incontrovertible principle, that the government of the United States may, by means of physical force, exercised through its official agents, execute on every foot of American soil the powers and functions that belong to it.'" The "Atlanta Daily World", a Negro daily newspaper at Atlanta, Georda, carried an article on August 1, 1964 entitled, "Dr. Zinn Goes To Mississippi Under Foundation Grant." The article reported Dr. ZINN, a newly appointed Professor of Government at Boston University, would leave for Mississippi to establish an educational program for young civil rights workers in the South. The article stated in part that ZINN, a former chairman of the History Department at Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia, would undertake the program under an award from the Eleanor Roosevelt Memorial Foundation in conjunction with its human rights program. The article also pointed out that Dr. ZINN had been writing on eivil rights for some time, and that his book "SNIC: The New Abolitionists"™, would be published this fall.
