...Pastor Moser (of the splinter Missionary Baptistic Church) and his co-signers are reflected by many a Southern minister.*Their use of Holy Writ to defend their position does not sit well with many ministers-even in the Deep South. But the fact remains that right now the segregationist clergymen are the ones who are doing the loudest talking. In Little Rock, segregationist clergymen are doing their best to embarrass their opponents by taking newspaper ads to ask why the opponents' own churches are not integrated, if integration is what they believe in. Only big ecclesiastical wheels in Little...
...fall term to Sept. 29. hoped to get satisfaction in circuit court. If it fails again, the board will admit the Negroes, and Governor Almond, invoking his massive-resistance laws, will shut down Norfolk's six Negro and white senior and junior high schools. As in Charlottesville, segregationist parents busily devised plans to provide classrooms in private homes and churches. But even before the plans were well under way, the "Norfolk Committee for Public Schools," led by Unitarian Minister James Brewer and Realtor Irving Truitt, plumped publicly for "a strong and complete public-school system"-and if necessary, gradually...
...press conferences, TV appearances and proclamations, Governor Orval Faubus tried hard last week to keep segregationist passions aboil. The presence of federal marshals in Little Rock, he cried, is more serious than the presence last year of federal troops. The marshals "will be met in many situations with a cold fury that did not exist before." When a group of Arkansas' Presbyterian ministers protested the closing of Little Rock's four high schools (TIME, Sept. 22), Southern Baptist Faubus accused them of being leftists, "brainwashed by left-wingers and Communists." Not even a stern protest from Methodist clergymen...
...students of Little Rock, whose schools are being kept tightly shut by Segregationist Governor Faubus, can attend classes over television this week, but it is doubtful whether credit will be offered for the air courses since there are no provisions for lab work, homework, checking or examinations. But some college students can get credit for a new TV course, provided they are wide awake at 6:30 each weekday morning. Starting Oct. 6, NBC's half-hour Continental Classroom has been approved by 300 colleges and universities (among them: Chicago, Rutgers, N.Y.U., Minnesota), will offer a college-level course...
With the Byrd organization's enthusiastic segregationist backing, Lindsay Almond let out all stops. Negroes, he cried, were "threatening government by N.A.A.C.P. in Virginia by the cold steel of federal bayonets, and we will have none of it." Ted Dalton, urging a system of limited integration, never really had a chance. And the dispatch of federal troops to Little Rock ruined him completely. Lindsay Almond was elected Governor of Virginia by a vote of 326,921 to 188,628-and the Byrd organization, playing fast and loose with segregationist emotions, was more firmly entrenched in power than ever...
