fo r in te rfe rin g w ith those who were de sp o iling th e Senator’s home? It is in cred ib le th a t th is is the type o f ind ividua l C a lifo rn ia voters sent to Washington to represent them on the national scene. His vo ting record there po in ts to th e fa c t th a t th is re la tionsh ip w ith ACLU was not a mere “ happenstance.” It is tra g ic th a t fo u r years m ust elapse before he m ust face th e voters again in an appeal fo r re-election. We tru s t th is episode w ill no t be fo rgo tten when the citizens enter the p o lling booth a t th a t election. Not only were p rom inen t p o litic ia n s present on th is p a rticu la r occasion b u t also actors and actresses, whose names are household words due to th e ir TV shows, were likew ise present in large numbers. Among them were Polly Bergen, M ilton Berle, Joey Bishop, Tony Cur tis , K irk Douglas, B u rt Lancaster, some o f the S inatra trib e , Andy W illiam s and others. A ll paid $ 1 ,0 0 0 .0 0 each toward a fund estab lished fo r th e express purpose o f in tim id a tin g the police in th e ir e ffo rts to m a intain law and order; to hire cra fty, unscrupu lous lawyers to defend the lawless element whenever these characters fa ll in to the clu tches o f the law. To th in k th a t these show-business persona lities are the idols o f o u r American youth— and o f many o f th e ad u lts as well! As a m a tte r o f fact, the whole moving pictu re in d u s try is shot th rough and th ro ugh w ith those who want to see our American way o f life changed com plete ly to conform to th e ir comm u n is tic ideology and gu tte r-like type o f m o ra lity. These are the ones who go ju s t as fa r as the y dare in de p ic tin g sin, vice, co rru p tion , and im m o ra lity— not to condemn it— bu t fo r en te rta inm en t, and fo r appeal on ly and exclusively to the p ru rie n t interests and lusts o f a s p iritu a lly and m o ra lly decadent pub lic. Yet the most tra g ic aspect o f all o f th is is th a t so many otherw ise good, solid, law -abiding C h ristian American citizens aid and abe t th is kind o f life by sup p o rtin g th e movies and a llow ing tra sh y TV program s to have a place in th e ir homes. In these shows these anti-American characters are featured and no th ing is ever done o r said about the m atter. No voices are raised in protest; no demands are made o f pastors th a t sermons be preached against these social and moral evils. These people do not cast th e ir votes aga inst th e p o litic ia n s who are tea rin g down ou r mores and standards no r do the y vote to reject members o f the ju d ic ia ry who have an ou tspokenly perm issive a tti tude toward lawlessness, lawbreakers, and th e de file rs o f o u r land. Some w ill vote th e pa rty line whoever runs. A generation ago, one citizen said he was a Republican and if the devil ran on th a t tic ke t, he would vote fo r him ; th is was repeated by a Democrat, who n a tu ra l ly pu t his pa rty firs t. It figures! We believe the re is a great s ile n t m a jo rity o f good, solid Am e ri cans who believe a righ t, from a moral po in t o f view. If on ly we could un ite and make o u r concerted e ffo rts coun t fo r th e utmost, perhaps we m igh t s till tu rn back th e forces o f evil. The hou r is late; tim e is runn ing out in which such a reversal can be accomplished. But there comes to m ind the te rrify in g th o u g h t th a t unless th is right-about- face takes place very soon, laws may be enacted which w ill deprive us com plete ly o f o u r re lig ious freedoms. We shall wake up some m o rn ing and not be able to enjoy th e lib e rty which cost so much in blood and sweat and tears o f the p a trio ts who came before us. God g ran t it may never happen bu t le t us awake o u t o f ou r fa ta l sleep!
