He went before the Alabama legislature to rend the air with 20 minutes of bombast; the proposed march, he declared, was Communist-inspired, abetted by a "collectivist press," by "propagandists masquerading as newsmen." He delivered himself of a withering blast against his old Alabama University friend, Judge Johnson, calling him a man who is "hypocritically wearing the robes" of a judge while "presiding over a mock court," one who "prostitutes our law in favor of mob rule...
