Members are urged to attend

And it came to pass in the
187th year of our i iflepondeneo.
a majority of the United States
Congress voted to undermine
the Constitution of the United
States of America. OttJul,v2.
in the name of Civil Rights, a
totalitarian biil was brutally
rammed through the House
without consideration and without
benefit of debate, discussion or
explanation.
An entirely new bill had come
from the Senate only a few days
before, containing 70 pages, and
son.e 89 differences between it
andthebill, badasitwas, which
had pasised the House on Febru
ary to. As a semblance of reg
ular procedure, one hour of de-
bate was permitted. To call thi:
a debate, when limited to one
hour on such a drastic bill was
being considered, was a high-
handed use of naked dictatorial
power. It is easily demonstrated
to be a farce. The time was
controlled by the proponents of
the bill, and allotted to Members
by them.
One hour. The bill was en-
tirely new—70 pages of it. A
page could not bo read in one
minute, yet there was allowed
less than one minute per page.
Why would the proponents not
want the Members to know the
effect of the89 changes made in
the House biil? The proponents
refused to point out these
changes, and would not permit
any of the rest of us the time to
do so.
The bill is clearly unconstitu-
tional in many of its provisions;
yet it is also clear that a ma-
jority of the United States Su-
preme Court, as presently consti-
tuted, wiil make any holding
necessary to uphold the bill. By
voting for this so-calied civil
rights biil, so loose, so reckless
and so unlawful, Congress com-
pounded the difficulty. Was it
not weakness rather than leader-
ship, which caused the Members
to be stampeded into voting for
the package of proposals, merely
because it was labeled "Civii
Rights"? At any faio, the major-
ity of the House was willing,
sight unseen, to impose the to-
talitarian provisions of the Ml
upon the freedom ioving people
of this nation.
As said by Mr. Wyman of New
Hampshire, formerly Attorney
General of that State, and now
a Member of Congress, "when
the American people realized the
surrender of their private rights
to a Federal 'big brother' estab-
lished by this biil, they wiil be
dismayed to learn of their be-
trayal. They hear from the
press, the commentators, and the
columnists the misrepresentation
that this is greatness of leader
ship—true statesmanship at its
best. It is nothing of the sort.
This iegislation is capitulation to
uitimatums from a militant mi-
nority that threatens violence.
It iy outright surrender of our
cherished rights as freed Amer-
ican citizens. It is a perversion
of the Constitution."
The militant extremists are
posed to launch mass agitation
movements, some of which are
already under way. to turn law
and order upside down. These
agitation invasions are iike in
nature to Nazism when it was
spreading over Germany in the
1930s, when Me Hitler Youth
were trained to invade commun-
ities and destroy law and order.
This is the same tactics as rec-
ommended by the Chinese com-
munists, in which waves of
demonstrators arc used to des-
troy property rights and human
freedom. Cities and states have
no defense against these attacks
except in their courts, and the
Supreme Court of the United
States forbids the use of such
defense, by turning the violators
loose as fast as they arc con-
victed.
As said the Psalmist, Deliver
us. O ILord, from evii men; pre-
serve us from violent men;
Grant not, O Lord, the desires
of the wicked; let them be easit
tinto deep pits, that they rise not
up again. Surely the righteous
shall give thanks unto Thy name;
the upright shall dwell in Thy
presence.
