PROFESSIONAL BIGOTS
He advocated repeal of sections
of the 14th and 15th Amendments
to the Constitution, "thereby limit-
ing the franchise to the nation's
white Americans." One of his pub-
lications, dedicated to Rep. John E.
Rankin of Mississippi, contains
rabble-rousing attacks on Jews and
Negroes and runs the gamut of
bigotry.
Armstrong, whose associates In-
clude otheutprofessional exponents
of hatred, has long been known as
a peddler of race prejudice. During
the war he published hate litera-
ture clandestinely, according to the
American Jewish Committee inves-
tigation.

A government where both Arabs
and Jews have equality, I think,
is the best solution. If both par-
ties can't agree
to the way of
ruling the
country, then
two sepa r ate
governme nts
should be set
up, dividing the
country in two,
with the Arabs
ruling one halt
and the Jews
the other.
This should be done with the
United Nations as the overall
susiervisor. We've been fooling
around long enough with the
problem and in the meantime,
many people are getting killed.
The UN must arrive at a prac-
tical solution before more lose
their lives in Palestine.
