The Flag, Huzzah

FATHER'S Statement Follows:

"I wish to congratulate the supreme court for the passage of the bill which outlaws all segregation in the schools and cements America together under our Constitution and gives all citizens the right of franchise which is America's protection against all subversiveness, for we do not need any of the subversive nations or groups to interfere with democracy here in America for all of her subjects to get equity and justice."
