...only they are left alone, Southerners like to say, they can take care of their own racial problems. Last week, in two isolated instances, the South was trying to make good the claim: ¶ Georgia's Department of Corrections, helped by the FBI, started new investi' gations into the killing last July 11 of eight Negro convicts at the Glynn County highway camp (TIME, July 28). A special grand jury had previously exonerated Warden H. G. Worth and the four guards who shot them. Meanwhile, the state acted to prevent a similar massacre; in Charlton County, it abolished...

But Americans are rightly averse to any abridgement of the Bill of Rights; we had rather stretch the point and let Smith hire...
Scheduled to speak in behalf of his Christian Nationalist crusade, Smith was booed out of the ball--after an hour of trying to start his address--by the Youth Council supporters, who called Smith a Fascist and later approved a resolution condemming him for "stirring up racial and religious hatreds...
