Letter from Earl Johnston Junior to Honorable Frank de Barber February 4, 1964.<br /> <br /> The letter is on Mississippi state sovereignty commission letterhead which list the address as new capital building, Jackson, Mississippi governor Ross are Barnett, chairman<br /> <br /> It is addressed to Honorable Frank D Barber, special assistant to the governor, the capital, Jackson, Mississippi<br /> <br /> Dear Frank:<br /> <br /> I’ve read with interest you enclosure from Dr. Claude a Fike pertaining to an anti-communism Institute for teachers. This appears to be an excellent idea it would certainly be far more effective than occasional seminars in Jackson or speakers address small audiences, who already believe in what the speaker has to say.<br /> <br /> In my recommendation to Governor Johnson for sovereignty commission program during his administration, I mentioned that we could operate affectively on $200,000 for the biennium instead of $250,000 under which we are now operating in the $225,000 recommended by the budget commission. This could be done only if the sovereignty commission can use its funds for its own administrative programs and support of such necessary projects as the anti-communism institute. Under my proposal, we can afford the $5000 per year to match the $2000 in outside support mentioned by Dr. Fike<br /> <br /> Sincerely,<br /> <br /> Signed by Earl Johnston Junior. Director

Letter written by Samuel W Silverman on letterhead from the Allied veterans political Association of America organized by act of Congress July 14, 1933<br /> <br /> The letter reads as follows:<br /> <br /> December 31, 1946<br /> <br /> Office national president Suite 819, 63 Park Row, New York<br /> <br /> Office, national secretary, 1701 Monroe St. NE., Washington DC<br /> <br /> To the members of the United States Senate:<br /> <br /> Re:: Senator Bilbo<br /> <br /> Who rules America? Is Congress already yielding allegiance to the purse strings of communism? Is communism so strongly entrenched in the high places of this land that he who refuses to serve them must be eliminated? Why should communism seek to unseat Senator Bilbo? For the past several years, Bilbo has been an outstanding opponent of communism. His name is high on the must eliminate list of communism. To attack and asked Bilbo is to silence other senators and to make them amenable to direct control – to intimidate them. The communists organized a purge during the recent political campaign. The purpose of that purge, overtly conducted in the CIO and PAC groups, was to defeat those politicians and others, who were outspoken against communism. Bilbo was not defeated. Public records to close that CIO and PAC groups did not oppose any member of Congress who had not openly voiced antagonism against the communist party.<br /> <br /> December 26, 1945, a letter was mailed to every member of the Congress, and the other public officials. Headed, and appeal to the conscience of the house of representatives, the letter describes the policy of the American veterans committee to control the veterans and play upon their emotions by inciting racial and religious antagonisms. Their method was that used by subversive and calmness groups – seeming championship of disinfected my Nordie groups. This letter stated: we know how absurd the appeals to religious and racial prejudice may be, but we also know from sad experience the actual crimes that have been the direct result of such appeals. The AV see alleges to fight the cars a persecuted groups. They December 26, 1945, a letter was mailed to every member of the Congress, and the other public officials. Headed, and appeal to the conscience of the house of representatives, the letter describes the policy of the American veterans committee to control the veterans and play upon their emotions by inciting racial and religious antagonisms. Their method was that used by subversive and calmness groups – seeming championship of disinfected my Nordie groups. This letter stated: we know how absurd the appeals to religious and racial prejudice may be, but we also know from sad experience the actual crimes that have been the direct result of such appeals. The AV see alleges to fight the cars a persecuted groups. They build their power on the blind faith and loyalty of weaklings. Once convinced of a VC Segnette sin see your tea, these poor, misguided but sincere people follow those who appear to be fighting their battles for them. We cannot censure them. But, gentlemen of the Congress, the same blind faith and loyal support-no matter how sincerely intended, can create a very serious political crisis-a crisis that now bids fair to become the most destructive and our whole national history. They are organized and directed by group of highly intelligent. A, I experienced and wealthy leaders-toward a well planned objective! It is only when you and I who know better, Who are aware of the spurious nature of their cogent and spacious pretense; it is only when you and I lose our heads and play cheap and dirty politics; we forsake sincerity of people in the welfare of all the people: that we play right into their hands. Find ourselves and miss the strange bedfellows. God and Stalin or Satan cannot bed together the gentleman of Congress are familiar with the message used by the communist.<br /> <br /> It is needless to cite the case of Senador Theodore Bilbo in Mississippi-a sincere, loyal and fine southern gentleman. Senator Bilbo had spoken upon a subject which is of a very controversial nature; a subject which has given a great deal of close attention and real study. He had every right to express his opinion of the subject. Yet communism crucified him for doing so. While I do not necessarily subscribe to his opinions, my organization will fight to the limit for his right to express that opinion. In doing so, he stepped on the corners of certain groups-for the subject was one commonly used by communist as a ready means of Augmentin is power in membership,. Under the leader ship of the communist party, thousands of letters, highly inflammatory in nature, postmarked from every state in the union, flooded the office of Senator Bilbo. Those letter subjected Bilbo to every conceivable form of vile anathema and vilification. He was criticize, cursed and called and principally filthy names. His secretary, Edward Terry, prepare replies to them, and, and righteous admin indignation, Bilbo signed and permitted a few well justified letters to go to remote sections of the nation; to widely separate localities. However, we are not not confronted by all of these letters, all assembled obviously, but one hand; all viciously use by that hand to re-create Senator Bilbo as the persecutor of racial minorities. Bilbo was goat it into situation situation, and<br /> <br /> At the end of page 1 there is a summary of the objectives of the allied veterans political Association of America. It reads: shall be in to foster and perpetuate the principles of real Americanism; to enter veterans on a united front and every national, senatorial and congressional elections; to enter candidates for state, county and local offices and four present and County Republican and Democratic committee; to work for the feet or recall of all members of Congress and other public officials who vote for legislation sponsored and desired by special privilege interest; to expose all false propaganda against the veterans and against the people of the United States; to fight the political ballot battles of veterans organizations who is constitutions or bylaws prohibit them from entering politics.

Letter sent to Senator Theodore G Bilbo from Floyd Herrington from BelPine Farms, Braxton, Mississippi,<br /> <br /> February 12, 1946<br /> <br /> Senator Theodore G. Bilbo,<br /> Senate office building,<br /> Washington DC,<br /> <br /> My dear Senator,<br /> <br /> Enclosed is my check for $100 to help out on your coming campaign. Also, it is in appreciation of your efforts to defeat Roosevelt’s FEPC measure, a sorry piece of cheap political double-crossing that stinks.<br /> <br /> Would like to suggest and recommend that when the bill comes up to make Roosevelt’s birthday a national holiday that it be amended so as to make two holidays - one for the day of his birth, the other for the day of his death. That would give everybody a chance to celebrate. I regard Roosevelt’s birthday as the blackest day in American history.<br /> <br /> Anybody who can aggravate, exasperate and irritate those New York pinks, reds, and blacks as you have so well and capably done ought to be stationed in Washington permanently, and without the bother of an occasional election.<br /> <br /> Yours very truly,<br /> <br /> Floyd Herrington<br /> <br /> CC mr. RG Wooten Hattiesburg, Mississippi
Letter from Floyd Herrington to Theodore Bilbo about a donation to his campaign and his work on addressing communism in the United States.
