Hate-Monger with Literary Trimmings:
From Avant-Garde Poetry to Rear-Guard Politics
Since the late Huey Long departed this world in a blaze of ambiguous gunfire, our professional rabble-rousers have been a singularly untalented lot. To call the roll is to summon a parade of faceless political pitchmen, most of whom are not even dowered with a first-class neurosis. Gerald L. K. Smith, Gerald Winrod, Joe McWilliams, Joe Kamp, Frank L. Britton, Conde McGinley, James Madole, Kenneth Goff, John Hamilton—there is scarcely a personality among them, nor can they often command more than a corporal's guard of loyal crackpots to follow them.
Can this judgment be safely extended to include Frederick John Kasper, the Cadmus of Clinton, Tennessee, Ezra Pound's disciple, and reportedly once a Negrophile habitué of New York's Greenwich Village?
One is not sure. Kasper's debut showed promise. Unquestionably, he sowed the dragon's teeth of racial hatred and fear in the sleepy little Anderson County seat of Clinton, which, if left alone, might have experienced no more trouble in desegregating its schools than did a score of other border state communities. It would seem, too, that Kasper did it almost single-handedly. The angry men and women who poured out of the Cumberland hills to demonstrate and riot before the Anderson County courthouse had failed signally to respond to previous attempts at agitation and incitement. It is significant, too, that while Kasper was in jail on a vagrancy charge the disorders subsided, only to boil over again when he was released and assumed command of the pickets besieging the Clinton High School.
Of what stuff, then, is this our Cadmus made? Have the combined influences of a middle-class New Jersey home,1 a Southern military academy, Yankton College, Columbia University, and Ezra Pound shaped this self-avowed trouble-maker into an effective leader of Southern segregationist resistance and revolt?
John Kasper was a young man,
A young man were he
Tall and twenty-six he grew
In this "homeland of the free". . . .
My father's name is Truelove,
My mother's name was Agee,
No jew Supreme Court Justice
Gonna make my laws for me. . . .
John Kasper was a young man,
A young man were he
When he went to fight the battle
Of Clinton, Tennessee.
So runs the patently inauthentic folk ballad that was distributed in the lobby of the Clinton courtroom when Kasper's trial for sedition and inciting to riot opened the day before the national elections. Its subject—and possibly its author as well, unless it was composed by Kasper's former roommate, the talented if somewhat effete poet-economist Eustace Mullins—is a six-foot, slightly stooped, and faintly decadent-looking young man with a narrow forehead and a beaked profile. His charisma, such as it is, smolders damply out of deep-set blue eyes that never lost their hurt-spaniel look even when Kasper, his long-fingered white hands weaving dialectical arabesques in the air, was animatedly instructing the jury, the prosecution, and a gaping audience of Tennessee hill-billies in the Poundian doctrines of history, race, economics, and jurisprudence.
Does Kasper believe this nonsense? Is he sincere?
The question was much discussed by members of the jestingly named "Southern War Correspondents Association" who had come to Clinton during the riots and returned to cover the trial. The consensus was that while Kasper has certainly proved himself on and off the witness stand to be a cynical and unctuous pitchman, he is profoundly sincere in at least one respect: namely, his anti-Semitism. This judgment was confirmed in the writer's presence when I accompanied a Jewish colleague who approached Kasper outside the courtroom and tried to get him to confirm or deny the reports of his Negrophile past.
"I'm not talking during the trial," said Kasper. Then, his voice rising and his eyes signaling his hill-billy entourage, he snarled:
"And I'm certainly not talking to a Jew!"
The biographical data concerning Kasper are scant, and most of it second-hand since neither the subject, his close relatives, nor his intimate friends have been very communicative to reporters. Frederick John Kasper was born in 1929 in the city of Camden, New Jersey. Both his parents were born and brought up in this country. His father, who died some years ago, was a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a moderately successful combustion engineer.
Kasper's schoolmates in Camden remember him as a quiet, retiring boy and a good if not brilliant student. During his mid-teens he was sent to the Riverside Military Academy in Georgia for two years, thence briefly to Temple University in Philadelphia, and from there to Yankton College in Yankton, South Dakota. His teachers at this small private college, whose history is associated with the native agrarian radicalism of the Populist period, were impressed with Kasper's intellectual gifts, but described him as a "trouble-maker with pronounced left-wing political sympathies."
After two years, Kasper transferred to Columbia's School of General Studies, his draft board having classified him 4-F. Kasper majored in philosophy, with a minor in English literature, and was graduated in 1951. Although his grades were average to good, Columbia seems to have been less impressed by Kasper's intellectual gifts than was Yankton. There are no reports of his engaging in any political activities on the campus, although he is said to have described himself on one occasion as an "intellectual fascist."
The only one of his teachers who remembers him is the poet Babette Deutsch (a contributor to Commentary), who conducts a course in "Twentieth Century Poetry" in Columbia's School of General Studies. Miss Deutsch recalls that in her treatment of Ezra Pound she said that his poetry must be respected, however much one might abhor his politics. In the classroom discussion that followed, Kasper declared that he, on the contrary, found little to interest him in Pound's poetry, but was greatly impressed by his politics. There ensued a verbal free-for-all between Kasper and members of the class, all of whom were outraged.
Subsequently Kasper sent Miss Deutsch an apologetic note, appended to a term paper, thanking her for bringing him to an understanding of the dangers of fascism and Stalinism alike, and to a sense of humane values. Still later, after he had been graduated from General Studies and had begun to issue his "Square $ Series" of reprints and translations, Kasper visited his former teacher on two occasions and asked that his paper-bound edition of Pound's translation of the Analects of Confucius be adopted for use in her classes, but nothing came of this proposal. Miss Deutsch adds that, while she has had a good many neurotic young men and women in her classes, she did not consider Kasper to be one of them.
In 1952 or thereabouts, Kasper became associated with Florette Henry, an intelligent and attractive Negro woman in her twenties, in the "Make-It-New" bookshop (named after the title of one of Pound's books) at 168 Bleecker Street in New York's Greenwich Village. About the same time, Kasper became the publisher, with David Horton, of the aforementioned "Square $ Series" which included two of Pound's translations, The Unwobbling Pivot and the Great Digest of Confucius and Confucian Analects. Other items in this series were Thomas H. Benton's Bank of the United States, Alexander Del Mar's Barbara Villiers or a History of Monetary Crimes, and Eustace Mullins's The Federal Reserve Conspiracy. According to Mr. Mullins, who is an ardent admirer of Pound, "the nation's banking reserves were placed in the hands of the Jewish international bankers for the purpose of carrying out their nearly fulfilled world dictatorship plan."2
In addition to selling this and similar literary merchandise, the "Make-It-New" bookshop issued a catalogue of recommended reading which included the spurious "Protocols of the Elders of Zion," Hitler's Mein Kampf, and John O. Beaty's virulently anti-Semitic The Iron Curtain over America. It also took orders for subscriptions to such anti-Semitic periodicals as Conde McGinley's Common Sense, Frank L. Britton's American Nationalist, and Robert H. Williams's Williams' Intelligence Summary.
It would appear that Kasper established personal contact with Ezra Pound shortly after his graduation from Columbia in 1951. At Pound's suggestion, two members of the Pound literary circle in Washington picked up Kasper in New York and drove him to Washington, where he visited the poet in St. Elizabeth's Hospital. (En route to Washington, Kasper astonished and repelled his hosts by his obsessed political diatribes and unrestrained, incoherent ranting.) Thereafter, Kasper maintained frequent contact with Pound, up to and even after his involvement in the Clinton affair had gained him national notoriety.
During Kasper's New York period there was little to distinguish him from a dozen other obscure anti-Semitic hate-peddlers except his somewhat more inflated intellectual and literary pretensions, which derived largely from his Poundian discipleship. At that time he was not anti-Negro.
Prior to the spring of 1956, when his Virginians Awake! pamphlet was issued, he had apparently made no contributions whatever to segregationist literature. On the contrary, his "Make-It-New" bookshop was a recognized center for the distribution of pro-Negro books and magazines and was patronized chiefly by Negroes and Negrophile whites, including some students from the Communist party's Jefferson School.
During this period, in fact, most of Kasper's friends and associates would appear to have been Negroes. Florette Henry was his associate and assistant in the conduct of the bookshop. Ted Joans, the Negro artist, and Ned Williams, the choreographer, were both intimate friends, or so considered themselves. At one time, according to Joans, Kasper helped him and his white wife to obtain an apartment. Joans remembers a fish fry in Brooklyn at which Kasper jumped on a table, urged all present to join the NAACP, and recruited twelve new members on the spot. But he himself did not join, "because of the Jew"—meaning presumably because of the support given to the NAACP by Jews—so Joans remembers Kasper telling the dismayed gathering.
When asked to comment on these and other statements by former Negro friends in the Village, Kasper has insisted that he was interested only in exploring the cultural roots of his Negro acquaintances; that he encouraged them to become interested in their own race, and to stop imitating the whites; that he tried vainly to induce one of his Negro acquaintances to translate the work of the late Leo Frobenius, the German archaeologist and anthropologist (quoted in Pound's Cantos) whose unflattering estimate of Negro potentialities is in accord with the Poundian philosophy of race which Kasper now espouses.
Joans, Williams, and other Negroes interviewed by George Barner of the Amsterdam News are unable to recall any such expressions of interest in their culture by their one-time friend and companion. What they do remember is that in the discussions of race-relations problems which occurred frequently at the Sunday night gatherings in the bookshop, Kasper invariably took the side of the Negro and expressed his disgust with the ill treatment they were receiving in the South. Joans quotes him as saying on one occasion: "If I were a strong Negro, I would lead a march on Washington. If I were a Negro, I would holler in front of the United Nations building until somebody noticed me. If I were you, I'd take one of my paintings and hang it on the Museum of Modern Art. All they could do would be to jail and fine you. And think of all the publicity you'd get."
Kasper is said to have declared that, as for himself, he was prepared to go to any extreme to make his name known to history, and was convinced that sooner or later his chance would come.
After he left New York Kasper made an unsuccessful attempt to associate himself with Black Mountain College in North Carolina. Afterward, Kasper claimed, he served briefly as campaign manager for Rear Admiral John G. Crommelin during the latter's unsuccessful bid for John Sparkman's seat in the United States Senate. In 1949 Admiral Crommelin was suspended from duty for revealing information bearing on the then pending unification of the armed forces. Subsequently he joined the group who organized the Madison Square Garden rally of Ten Million Americans Mobilizing for Justice to Senator Joseph McCarthy, in November of 1954. In Admiral Crommelin's speech on that occasion there were dark references to "the hidden force in our government" which, he declared, had decreed the political liquidation of the Senator from Wisconsin. A native Alabaman and ardent segregationist, Admiral Crommelin loyally visited Kasper in jail during his incarceration for violating the Court's order that he stop interfering with the desegregation of the Clinton High School, and was a character witness at his trial.
In the spring of 1956, apparently, Kasper decided that destiny was beckoning and that he must answer her summons, even if it involved betraying the Negro friends with whom he had shared his dreams and ambitions. A few months before, he had moved his book business to Washington, where it became the Cadmus Bookshop, at 1246 Wisconsin Avenue. His devoted Negro assistant, Florette Henry, whom he had introduced to Pound on one occasion, remained behind in New York. In her place he had acquired a new associate, Mrs. Nora Devereaux, formerly a bookseller in New York.
In Washington, Kasper continued to visit Pound at St. Elizabeth's, although there are unconfirmed rumors that at about this time they had a violent quarrel. However, the Pound influence continues to be apparent in the pamphlet Virginians Awakel with which Kasper made his debut as a segregationist publicist and organizer. It was first released at a Washington press conference, following Kasper's announcement, in June of this year, that he had launched the Seaboard White Citizens Council, affiliated with the radical secedent wing of the Alabama WCC headed by Ace Carter.
Newsmen were amazed and baffled by the wild incendiarism and seemingly contrived illiteracy of this weird opus, which declaims:
Jail the NAACP! Hang the Supreme Court Swine! Destroy the Reds! Save the White!
Now damn all race-mixers . . . the stink: Roose, Harry & Ike
God bless Jeff/Jax & John Adams, also Abe.
Loathe carpetbag, despise scalawag. Hate mongrelizers. (pink punks, flat-chested high-brows, homos, perverts, freaks, golf-players, poodle dogs, hot-eyed Socialists
Fabians, scum, mould on top of the omelette, Myerization of News, liars for hire; the press-gang, degenerate liberals crying for petrefaction of putrefaction,3 complaining s—used to be blacker and richer,4 Social democrats, new dealers,
Said Ben: Better keep 'em out or yr/grand children will miss you. . . .5
Death for Usurers, money monopolists, obstructors of Distribution (international finance, World Bank and Bunk, Unesco currency, Federal Reserve racket, Barney Baruch's check book, Schiff and Warburg finance Bolshevik refolooshun 1917, Lehman finances Newhouse $$ Birmingham News).
Most readers, not to speak of the Tennessee hill-billies and Alabama red-necks who presumably are being addressed, are likely to be baffled by these exhortations, which appear on what Kasper laughingly refers to as "the literary cover" of his pamphlet; they require almost as much elucidation as one of Pound's later Cantos.
As a matter of fact, the language, the references, and even the abbreviations and the orthography obviously derive from Ezra Pound. The writer purchased a copy of the most recent installment of Pound's Cantos, Section: Rock-Drill6 (Cantos 89-95) from Mrs. Devereaux, Kasper's loyal friend and associate in the management of the Cadmus Bookshop. The lady proved to be a devout avant-garde illuminate, who insisted that she found Pound's last Cantos not only admirable but even intelligible. When I confessed my own relative inadequacy, she suggested that I might acquire needed enlightenment by visiting Mr. Pound at St. Elizabeth's hospital, with the chance that at the same time I might meet Kasper, who planned to visit the master on his return from an organizing trip in the South. (Pound regretted his inability to see me and subsequently has been inaccessible to journalists in general.)
The first use of the Virginians Awake! pamphlet was to implement Kasper's rabble-rousing efforts in Charlottesville, Virginia, during the first weeks of August. Apparently he drove almost directly from Charlottesville to Clinton, arriving in the early morning hours of Saturday, August 25, and sleeping in his car. That afternoon and evening he went from house to house urging people to resist the admission of Negroes to the Clinton High School, which had been ordered to begin desegregation the following Monday when school opened. The subsequent action of the Clinton drama was detailed by witnesses at Kasper's trial for sedition and incitement to riot, which began in the Clinton Court House on November 5 and ended on November 20, when an all-male jury that included four self-avowed segregationists found him not guilty on both counts of the indictment.
Clinton has 3,712 inhabitants according to the last census. It is seventeen miles north of Knoxville, midway between the atomic center of Oak Ridge and TVA's model town of Norris. The drab little town has a central square dominated by its big, ugly pre-Civil War courthouse; a two-story brick hotel of the same vintage that is famous for serving the best Southern cooking obtainable north of McMinnville; three handsome modern churches; an avenue of prosperous middle-class homes; a small Negro settlement of some fifty homemade shacks and cottages clinging to the slopes of Foley Hill, which rises steeply in back of the modern new high school.
Most of the eight hundred children enrolled in the Clinton High School are brought in by bus from the surrounding countryside; from the dingy mine villages and the little hard-scrabble farms perched above the coves and inlets of TVA's many-fingered Norris Lake, which flooded much of Anderson County's best farmland. Their parents are poor people. They have been poor for at least six generations, ever since their pioneer Scotch-Irish, Huguenot, and German ancestors followed Daniel Boone through the Cumberland Gap, but stayed behind when Boone and his hardier companions pressed on north into the "Indian pasture" of the rich Kentucky Basin.
Poverty, isolation, inbreeding, ignorance, the cumulative effects of their traditional cornpone and fatback diet—all are reflected in their gaunt faces, their toothless gums, their gnarled and stunted bodies. These are the people whom John Kasper, tall, twenty-six, educated, and talking a marvelously impressive hodge-podge of Blackstone, Douglas, Frobenius, Ezra Pound, and Joe Kamp, came to save from the ignominy and mongrelization being engineered for them by those nine unhanged Supreme Court swine in collusion with the NAACP, the Jews, and the Communists.
Clinton's school authorities, as they now ruefully acknowledge, forgot about these people when, in the spring of 1956, they set about preparing the high school children and their parents for the enrollment in September of a dozen Negro students. Everybody agrees that Principal D. J. Brittain, Jr., and the school board did a good and careful job with the PTA and the service clubs, and with the congregations of most of the churches. But they forgot the Pilgrim Holiness sect, better known as the Holy Rollers. They forgot about the fundamentalist Baptist lay preachers—over two hundred of them in Anderson County alone—who on Sunday brush the straw from their coats and wash the coal dust from their faces and preach a millennial fire-and-brimstone gospel from the pulpits of the little mountain churches and store-front meeting houses. In short, they forgot about the people who might have been expected to give them the most trouble, and did.
All the best people of the town were persuaded that since every possible means of legal resistance to desegregation had been tried in vain, they had best relax and obey the law, if without enjoyment. Hence when John Kasper knocked at their doors that Saturday afternoon and evening and urged them to picket the schools with him, they sent him packing and alerted the town authorities. The next day, when he went to the office of the Clinton Courier-News to buy cardboard for his picket signs, he was met by an improvised committee of good citizens who urged him to get out of town. When he refused, they had him jailed for vagrancy.
Not, however, before Kasper had seen the other people, the poor people of Anderson County, who have been left with so little else with which to nourish their pride that their membership in the master race has become their most precious possession.
Not before Kasper had stood on the steps of the courthouse and addressed a crowd of several hundred of these people, telling them that they didn't have to let the "niggers" into their school (Kasper has difficulty in remembering to say "nigger" or "nigra" and betrayed his earlier training by frequent lapses on the stand). Not before Kasper had lit the fuse that set off a train of subsequent explosions.
Just what Kasper actually said and did that Saturday night and during subsequent appearances on the picket line in front of the high school and on the courthouse steps was the chief subject of debate during the trial. J. Benjamin Simmons, Kasper's shrewd counsel, was helped by frequent restrictive rulings of the court which prevented the admission of evidence connecting Kasper directly with the riots.
While Kasper was in the Clinton jail, from Sunday afternoon until the following Tuesday noon, when he was released for lack of evidence, a few dozen leaderless men and women, with some teen-age truants, milled about the entrance to the school, waving placards proclaiming "We won't go to School with Niggers" and distributing a flyer adorned with a photograph that purported to show French prostitutes kissing Negro GI's. The accompanying text declared, over the imprint of the Seaboard White Citizens Council: "We are an action program. We proclaim action as our creed. We are fighting. You must fight with us." Yet the prosecution was not permitted to connect Kasper directly with the authorship of this inflammatory document.
The school opened with comparatively few absentees and the next morning, with Kasper still in jail and the picketing still spotty and non-violent, the attendance rose from 776 to 803, with classes crowded to overflowing. Tuesday noon Kasper was released from jail. Immediately he assumed leadership of the picket lines and spoke to a large crowd assembled on the school ground. That evening he harangued a rally in front of the courthouse. The next morning he reinforced his picket lines with fifty stay-away students and non-student teenagers, and sent ten automobiles—three of them with Michigan licenses—circling through the streets of Clinton with their horns blowing.
By this time the town was in the incipient stages of what promised to become a first-class race riot. In the deserted streets of Foley Hill above the school the Negroes posted guards to warn of approaching raiders, while their wives and children huddled in cellars and attics. Many loaded their families into their cars and fled to relatives in other towns. Frightened teenagers begged their parents not to send them again through the ever more menacing gauntlet of the picket lines. In the town, Bobby Kane, a Negro student, was chased by a mob of fifty teenagers and adults. The police failed to intervene before he had been cornered, kicked, and beaten by a former white student named John Garter.
Three Negro students were rescued from the mob by the Clinton football team and returned to the sanctuary of the principal's office. Two other Negro students and a Negro woman who had defended herself with a knife were chased by the mob.
At another rally that evening, Kasper declared himself to be pleased with the results of his efforts. He would remain in town, he said, until the Negroes were removed from the school.
Knowing that they were working against time, a group of responsible citizens including Mayor W. E. Lewallen, Horace Wells, the newspaper editor, and Leo Grant, Jr., an Oak Ridge attorney and one-time paratrooper in the Korean war, debated what could be done so that peace might be restored to the boiling community. Wednesday night they urged Federal Judge Robert L. Taylor in Knoxville to issue an order enjoining Kasper, five of his named collaborators, and "all other persons who are acting or may act in concert with them," from further interference with the carrying out of the integration order that Judge Taylor had signed eight months previously.
Meanwhile the Mayor asked the state authorities in Nashville to alert the Tennessee Highway Patrol and ready a unit of the National Guard. Nobody doubted that they would be needed, for by this time Kasper had accomplished his purpose. The dragon's teeth he had helped to sow far and wide in the community that had so hoped for peace were sprouting up everywhere; in streets of the town, in the shouting picket lines that continued to picket the high school, and in the surrounding towns and villages, where the Negroes were beginning to arm themselves, stay away from work, and darken their homes at night.
Again John Kasper went to jail, this time for contempt of court, but promptly another equally dangerous Cadmus arrived in town. On Friday night Kasper's friend and ally, Asa (Ace) Carter, the former Birmingham radio announcer who had led his faction of violent activists out of the more conservative Alabama White Citizens Councils, addressed a gathering of at least fifteen hundred people in front of the courthouse. Before he was through the mob had wrecked practically every passing car bearing Negro passengers. Men, women, and teenagers linked arms and marched up and down shouting "We want Kasper!" At one point a mob numbering at least two hundred people started up Main Street toward the home of Mayor Lewallen. When police cars blocked the highway, they turned back, but continued milling around town for the remainder of the night, shouting at passing cars and shooting off firecrackers.
Clinton has a police force of seven. It had proven itself quite unable to control the Friday night mob, and there was every reason to expect worse trouble Saturday night. The Governor had promised help, but thus far none had appeared.
In desperation, the Mayor and the Common Council called in Leo Grant, Jr., and asked him to recruit an emergency posse of citizens. Saturday morning, Grant swore in forty-seven deputies. They armed themselves with anything they could get, from German burp guns to ancient fowling pieces and single-shot target rifles. At the last moment, Grant managed to obtain a couple of machine guns and six teargas grenades from the Mayor of Knoxville.
As the afternoon wore on and the ugly mood of the gathering crowds became manifest, Grant contemplated his meager army with a sinking heart. To make an adequate show of force it should have been twice as big, and armed in such a way as not to excite the ridicule of the populace. Shouts of "Let's get the nigger lovers!" "Kill them!" and "Take their guns!" greeted the appearance of the posse in the square. Over three thousand people were jammed into the area around the courthouse. For a while the police, each officer surrounded by a squad of Grant's deputies, were able to keep the crowd moving. Then, at about 8 o'clock, a mob of six hundred jeering, yelling adults and teenagers solidified on the east side of the square.
The final scene could not have been better timed if Hollywood had produced it. As the posse slowly advanced in line of skirmish and Grant bowled a tear-gas bomb at the feet of the mob, the howl of the Highway Patrol's sirens was heard and a score of police cars drove into the square. A half dozen arrests were made, after which the crowd became orderly and listened until midnight to speeches by orators representing the Tennessee Federation for Constitutional Government and other segregationist organizations. The next day, Sunday, saw the National Guard bivouacked in the square and Clinton's ordeal was over for the time being.
Partly because of the persistent objections of defense counsel, most of which were sustained by the court, the jury was given no sequential account of the riots that Kasper was accused of inciting. Much important evidence was excluded by Judge Hutson's ruling that Kasper could not be considered responsible for disorders occurring while he was in jail in Clinton and Knoxville. Kasper denied authorship or approval of some incendiary racist literature distributed in Clinton both during the riots and subsequently, although it bore the imprint of the Seaboard White Citizens Council of which he is executive secretary. He also denied using the inflammatory language attributed to him by peace officers who had heard his speeches on the picket lines and at rallies of his followers.
By way of showing that not only the effect but also the intent of Kasper's activities was to incite disorder and violence, Detective Harold Fincher of the Birmingham police force was permitted, over the frantic objections of defense counsel, to testify that Kasper had said in the Central Park Theater of Birmingham on September 13, two weeks after the Clinton riots:
"The people of Clinton needed a leader. I'm a rabble-rouser, a trouble-maker. I'm not through up there. We want trouble. We want it now. We need lots of rabble-rousers. Some of us may the and I may the too. It may mean going back to jail, but I'm going back to fight. We went as far as we could have gone legally. Now is the time to fight, even if it involves bloodshed."
Fincher's hand-written notes were submitted to the jury for examination and returned to the judge, who handed them to the defense attorney. At this point they disappeared; and no stenographic transcript of the trial proceedings was taken.
The trial had other equally inexplicable aspects. At least one radio broadcaster took tape records of some of Kasper's most inflammatory speeches, but no attempt was made to introduce this evidence into the record. Attorney General John Lee West saw the cover of Virginians Awake! for the first time when this writer provided the prosecution with a photostat of the incendiary document, a copy of which was apparently available during the week of the riots to anybody in the Knoxville-Clinton area who chose to write for it to the Seaboard White Citizens Council, as did a local radio reporter.
D. J. Brittain, Jr., the gentle, scholarly high school principal who endured the concentrated fury of Kasper's "action program," was permitted to testify that Kasper had threatened in the presence of his picketers: "I will get the niggers out of the schools or you out." But he was prevented by the objections of the defense and the rulings of the judge from describing the incredible ordeal to which he was subjected without let-up during the riot week and long afterward: the continuous midnight ringing of his telephone, the ugly voices out of the night snarling foul insults and threats whenever he lifted the receiver; the fiery crosses burned in front of his house; the boycott by active segregationists of any tradesman courageous enough to continue dealing with Brittain; the whispering campaign broadcasting rumors that bombs had been planted under the school—it so terrified parents that the week after the riots attendance at the high school dropped to around two hundred, less than a third of normal.
The children are back now, including all but one of the twelve Negroes who were enrolled when school started. One of the latter, the gifted Jo Ann Allen, was elected vice president of a school society. During the troubles only a handful of children joined the picketers and it was the children who rallied to the defense of their principal when the superintendent and the school board seemed likely to let him down. Practically all of them, along with many of their parents, signed a petition that Brittain be retained, offsetting another petition for his dismissal that had been circulated by the Anderson County White Citizens Council. Undoubtedly many of the signers of that petition were in the packed courtroom when Brittain, worn thin and haggard by weeks of harassment, mounted the witness stand.
Had he felt frightened and intimidated—asked Assistant Attorney General Fischer—when Kasper called him out of his office and demanded that he "get the niggers out or resign"? There were muffled guffaws from the audience, quickly suppressed as the judge gaveled for order.
Brittain winced, then glared back at the smirking faces of his persecutors. Some of them he had reason to know. Others he knew only through their voices, the voices that had given him so many weeks of sleepless nights, snarling curses, and threats until he discontinued his telephone, moved to a new address, and virtually went into hiding when not at the school.
They are not through with him, nor is Kasper, who announced, following his acquittal, that he planned soon to establish headquarters for the Tennessee White Citizens Council in the Clinton area and launch an intensive drive to undo what had been started there, by blocking all further efforts to implement the Supreme Court's desegregation order.
When the jury announced its verdict, after less than an hour's deliberation and only two ballots, close to three hundred people rose to their feet, yelling, screaming, and stomping. Kasper grinned, bowed, and pumped the hands of his admirers.
The Fates had by no means overtaken Cadmus yet. But Kasper had achieved his goal: trouble and notoriety. It was a question whether he could achieve anything more.
1 At Columbia University, where most of Kasper's friends appear to have been Jews, Kasper sometimes talked of his early home life, describing his childhood as unhappy and distorted by frequent quarrels with his parents. He was forced to attend Sunday school against his will, one acquaintance reports him as saying, and he was withdrawn after he had made a great scandal by challenging the religious teachings of the Sunday school.

4 Ibid.; "claiming that the sh-t used to be blacker and richer."
5 See Canto LII: "Remarked Ben: better keep out the jews or yr/grand children will curse you." Pound's source here clearly seems to be an anti-Semitic document circulated in this country during the 30's by Nazi propagandists which purported to be a copy of a speech attacking the Jews made by Benjamin Franklin during the Constitutional Convention of 1787. The speech was allegedly contained in the "private diary" of Charles Pinckney of South Carolina, a fellow delegate to the Convention. But no such "diary" exists, nor have historians been able to find any record of it. Furthermore, historians doubt that the language and phrasing of the speech could be of Colonial origin. In short, they have branded the document a fake. (See The Institute News, published by the Franklin Institute, Philadelphia, Pa., Vol. III, No. 4, August 1938, pages 1–2.)

Transformer-based mic preamp/passive EQ for API 500 Series.
The CARTEC PRE-Q5 is a high-quality, transformer-based microphone preamp for the API 500 series format that incorporates a passive inductor equalizer, and a balanced output attenuator. The filter circuit is identical to the CARTEC EQP-1A, but with the extra gain stage and transformers required to create a high-performance preamplifier. The output transformer is followed be a fully balanced stepped attenuator (constant impedance T-pad) to allow saturation of the output transformer while controlling the output level (allowing you to really drive the PRE-Q5 without clipping the next item in your signal chain). In combination with the High/Low frequency EQ, this gives the Pre a lot of tonal variety without any complicated circuitry or added phase distortion. Just a nice simple featured Preamp with a classic vibe. The Line level switch allows all of the features to be used both during tracking and mixing. You could send pre-recorded material to the EQ section or use the combination of the EQ and transformer saturation to enhance synths or any existing sounds.

Visiting Zakynthos
If you're looking to take a holiday that you and your loved ones will never forget, I have to recommend that you consider visiting Zakynthos. This island is absolutely stunning visually and the attractions in the region are many. This is considered to be one of the best holiday spots in Greece, and for good reason; it's covered in many beautiful landscapes that are certain to please even the most demanding travelers. On top of the various natural beauties that Zante has to offer, you'll also love the many exciting attractions that are available. Let's talk a bit more about why I believe that Zante is the perfect holiday spot.
About Zante
Zante is a Greek island that can be found near the western coast of Greece. It is a beautiful region that is also known as Zakynthos. The region is absolutely gorgeous and has a unique charm that is hard to match. It's also a very popular area for its night life. The island is filled with many different beautiful features and the weather is also superb. Zante is a very large island as it's considered to be one of the largest islands that is located within the Ionian sea.
Getting to Zante
There are a few different ways to find your way to Zante, but the most common methods of transportation are plane and ferries. Both options can be rather affordable if you plan accordingly, but you may prefer one over the other for various reasons. Ferries are great and allow you to see many beauties from Agious Nikolaos along the way. This is a perfect option for anyone who loves the sea. Planes will get you there much faster and will give you a great aerial view. I would suggest that you take a plane if you are trying to adhere to a strict schedule.
Zante Attractions
Once you arrive to Zakynthos, you'll notice that it is filled with much fun and excitement. You could easily spend months here and still not scratch the surface of the many attractions that are offered. There are no shortage of resorts, pubs and clubs to enjoy while you're on the island. You will fall in love with the many Venetian buildings that are scattered throughout the region. The nightlife in Zante is unmatchable and there is no shortage of friendly and fun people to enjoy the beauties of the island with.

Special Issues for Retirement Plans - Important ERISA Issues
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) was enacted in 1974 to protect the rights of employees under retirement plans offered by their employers. In addition to safeguarding retirement funds from employer mismanagement, ERISA requirements also cover the following:
Fiduciary responsibility - The plan's trustee must manage plan assets and make decisions in the best interests of the plan participants. The trustee cannot sell assets to the plan or earn commissions from plan investments. In addition, plan assets must be kept segregated from company assets. Regarding investment options under ERISA:
Fiduciaries for the plan must follow the Prudent Investor standard.
Sufficient investment options must be available under the plan so that plan participants can create an adequately diversified portfolio.
- An investment policy statement is recommended to serve as a guideline for investment decisions to be made. The statement may include comments on risk tolerance, investment philosophy, time horizons, asset classes and rate of return expectations.
- Fiduciaries for the plan must follow the Prudent Investor standard.
Look Out!
It is essential for an IA to understand investment policy statements. Either the plan participants or the plan trustees may sue an IA who does not follow the guidelines of this statement. The IA could be liable for breach of fiduciary duty, even if the plan assets have outperformed the market.
Non-discrimination - All plan participants must be treated equally under the plan, and highly compensated employees must not benefit to a greater degree than employees with lower compensation.
Vesting - Plan benefits may require a vesting period before the employee earns the right to the benefit if he or she leaves the company. ERISA regulations limit the length of such a vesting period to a reasonable schedule.
Not all employer plans are subject to ERISA. For example, governmental retirement plans are exempt from ERISA requirements. Also, non-qualified plans, which do not qualify for tax-deductible contributions, are not subject to ERISA. These plans are discussed in detail in the within following section. IRAs are not subject to ERISA, since an IRA is not considered an employer plan.Non-Qualified Retirement Plans

Changes in store for Blue Note
Blue Note news: In case you missed it, we reported Sunday that The Blue Note Grill, a barbecue and rib restaurant that has live blues, bluegrass, rockabilly and other music each night on Durham-Chapel Hill Boulevard, has signed a lease to relocate to two bays of a building on Washington Street near the Durham Athletic Park.
The couple behind the business, Bill and Andrea Whittington, is planning to redevelop 709 and 711 Washington St. into a restaurant and live music venue with a quick-service eating area as well as a dining area with a stage and an outdoor patio.
More on Jo's Boutique: Josephine Finazzo, co-owner of Pomodoro Italian Kitchen, an Italian restaurant on Hillandale Road, is partnering to open the new women's contemporary clothing boutique Jo's Boutique on Broad.
Finazzo said she's starting out selling clothing and accessories at the shop. She also has plans to also begin selling shoes as well in July. She said they're concentrating on selling dresses for graduation.
"We're going to have pieces that you can go out with or you can throw a blazer on and wear it for work," Finazzo said. "We're trying to have pieces that you can do both (with)."
Jo's Boutique is targeted to open May 5 in a suite at 721 Broad St.

Since it has no moving parts, it can hardly break down.
It is based on the air-lift effect.
It is a very old system, I just found a cheap and easy way to build it with a T junction.
No glue, no welding required.
I use it in hydroponic projects and water fountains.
Can also be used for irrigation, with a bicycle pump fitted with a non return valve.
All parts I use are aquarium parts, and can be found in aquarium or pet shops.
You can also use a compressor for a higher flow.
List of parts;
a 10mm T junction
an aquarium air pump (the stronger PSi you can buy, the better)
an air tube for the aquarium pump 4mm
a 10 mm tube
When i say 10mm T junction , it is the inner measurement of the tube.
A regular T from Hazelock 1/2" can be used, as Hazelock gives the outside measurements.
I use the inner measures, because i fit my tube inside the T junction.
See later why.
Step 1: Slip the air hose into the T
To do that, the easy way is to start inserting the air hose into the shorter end of the T.
Then use a pencil (but the blunt side) to help push it trough.
This is the toughest part of the project.
Then pull the air hose all the way, till you leave about 1 inch or 30mm sticking out of the
short side of the T.
Step 2: Diameter of the water hose
The system works by injecting air into the T.
Air bubbles will push the water upside, so do not use a too wide tube, otherwise it will not work.
Troubleshooting; these are possible causes;
T must be immersed in minimum 5 inches of water.
Airflow is not strong enough, not enough pressure.
Diameter of the hose is too big.
I like the arrangement with the T tube and plan to replace on of my 5 pumps with it just to try it out as I am uncertain of how to get the proper 1/4 in hose properly inserted.
Both work fine.
More pressure will give you a better flow, if that is what you want.
Good luck with your construction , Chefmichel
Sorry if I sound little rude.I have been reading the comments and only these things are popping up.

More than 235,000 people in the four counties of Western Massachusetts seek food assistance at Food Bank member agencies.
High winds and steady rain was not enough to slow down 93.9 The River's radio host Monte Belmonte, as he walked 26 miles on Thursday, November 6, pushing a shopping cart, to raise awareness and funds for hunger in Western Massachusetts. Joined by Congressman Jim McGovern, The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts' Executive Director Andrew Morehouse, Northwestern District Attorney David Sullivan, and a host of other community figures, he left from Northampton at 6:00 a.m. and arrived in Greenfield at 6:00 p.m. By the day's end, the event raised just over $66,000 for The Food Bank, exceeding Monte's goal of $56,000.
"It was so inspiring to witness our community rally behind this event to exceed our fundraising goal," explains Morehouse. "The march not only gave us more resources to distribute more food to more people, but it also enabled us to educate more people about the challenges we face moving forward."
The rain held off for most of the morning, as they walked from Northampton to Hadley, along Route 9. By 10:30 a.m., the group reached the Amherst Survival Center, where they were greeted with refreshments and snacks by the center's director Mindy Comb. From there, they headed north along Route 116, into South Deerfield. After taking a short break and having lunch at Chandler's restaurant, they continued in the heavier rain along Route 5 & 10, where they eventually made their way up Bank Row into Greenfield.
Walking in the march for the second straight year, Congressman McGovern has not only been a long-time supporter of The Food Bank, but is also one of the country's strongest hunger advocates in Washington. Since 2013, his anti-hunger campaign, #EndHungerNow, has led the way in our nation's struggle to eliminate food insecurity. His series of speeches given to Congress in Washington have demonstrated why hunger in this country must end. McGovern has also appeared in the 2012 documentary "A Place at the Table," which helped shed light on the serious economic, social and cultural implications that hunger poses for our nation.
Now in its fifth year, Monte's March has raised a total of $243,000 for The Food Bank, providing approximately 729,000 meals to the 200,000 individuals in Western Massachusetts facing food insecurity.

The Geriatric Emergency Department
St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center pioneered a new Geriatric Emergency Department, and now they're helping other facilities do the same.
Ms. V is an 86-year-old widow who presented to the St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center (SJRMC) ED after falling while getting out of bed. She had a previous history of a hip fracture and declining functional status. The comprehensive assessment provided by the ED physician and geriatric RN coordinator resulted in a discharge directly to a sub-acute rehab from the ED. Ms. V and her family's needs were met without an unnecessary admission to the hospital; the discharge plan was safe, medically appropriate, and cost effective.
What makes this case unique is that all of the care took place within St. Joseph's specially-designed geriatric emergency department, an innovation that lowered the SJRMC return rate for the geriatric population from 20% to less than one percent.
Overcoming Hurdles
All patients seen in the Geriatric ED receive a call from the patient liaison within 24 to 48 hours after discharge. The patient liaison follows a script of five follow-up questions. If a problem is identified, the RN coordinator of the Geriatric Care Team provides further follow-up ranging from reassurance/clarification, to appointments with their Primary Care Physician (PCP). All PCP are notified that their patient was seen in the Geriatric ED and any follow-up that was recommended. If a return to the ED is necessary, the Advanced Practice Nurse or Geriatric Program Coordinator meets them on arrival to the ED and they are taken to a bed without having to wait. The follow-up phone call in the life of Mrs. B, a 76-year-old female who lived alone, made the difference between life and death. Seen in the Geriatric ED for a complaint of dizziness, she was discharged after a complete work-up, including electrocardiogram (EKG) revealed no abnormal findings. The next day, because of the phone call from the patient liaison, Mrs. B returned to the ED. The patient liaison initiated the return visit because Mrs. B just wasn't feeling right. The repeat electrocardiogram revealed increased ischemia and she was admitted.
Area PCPs who have been unable to meet the demand for urgent cases have welcomed the initiative. The care team proactively reaches out to these providers, notifying PCPs when their patient has visited the ED and updating them on their patient's health status. As such, SJRMC has seen an overall increase in ED utilization and geriatric admissions. The geriatric ED care team has accomplished this with minimal financial outlay from the hospital. Reimbursement rates are determined by normal Medicare rates and the ED does not benefit from special coding, yet expenses have been kept to a minimum. The care team staff was not newly hired additional staff but rather redirected from the main ED to the geriatric ED.
Through the vision and commitment of the department chairman the Geriatric ED has not only had a significant impact on the quality and specialization of care provided to SJRMC geriatric population, but has reduced return visits 70-80% by providing an ongoing collaborative effort that does not end when they walk out the door.
The Transition
At the time of implementation it was not clear whether this program would be sustainable or of substantial benefit to the community. The ED executive leadership and St. Joseph's CEO believed in the success of this program from the beginning; however, this past year has provided the data for a retrospective analysis currently underway to document all the program's benefits and success.

Nason Medical Center will remain in-network for BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina, despite an announcement in June that the health insurance company planned to cut the urgent care provider from most plans in October, the insurer said Friday.
"Nason's leadership demonstrated a good faith effort in working with us to address cost concerns," said Jim Deyling, president of the BlueCross BlueShield private business division.
The company has not reached an agreement with Medcare Urgent Care but conversations with owners are ongoing, BlueCross BlueShield spokeswoman Patti Embry-Tautenhan said. The insurance company plans to drop Medcare from its network after Oct. 8.
"Quite frankly at this point, we feel like we're being bullied and singled out because we're a minority-run company," said Dr. Radwan Hallaba, who owns Medcare Urgent Care. Hallaba was raised in South Carolina, but his relatives are North African. His business partner is Mexican-American.
BlueCross BlueShield has drawn significant criticism for its decision to narrow its urgent care network since the news broke in June.
"The Local Union is constantly receiving calls from members on this chaotic BCBS decision and the members are outraged," wrote James Todd, a business agent for the Teamsters Local Union in West Columbia. "Particularly, our UPS members are mad as hell."
In a letter dated July 24, Todd urged the Central States, Southeast & Southwest Areas Pension Fund to use its leverage to "correct this crazy unprecedented decision of BCBS."
Medcare is a statewide practice. Nason Medical Center operates five urgent care facilities in the Lowcountry.
Embry-Tautenhan previously explained that the company needed to cut some urgent care providers from its network to avoid duplicative services. She said the insurance company has explained to Medcare Urgent Care that its costs are outside the norm of other urgent care providers.
Nason Medical Center is currently under federal investigation. Details surrounding the ongoing case have not been made public, although Nason Medical Center owners confirmed in May that the government ordered the company to discontinue CT scans and ultrasounds.
Embry-Tautenhan never cited the investigation as a factor in the insurance company's decision to drop Nason Medical Center from its network. It was not mentioned in a press release issued Friday afternoon about the agreement.
"We have found BlueCross to be honest and fair in our discussions," Dr. Barron Nason said in a prepared statement. "Now we can get back to focusing on urgent care that is fast, friendly and affordable."
The Affordable Care Act has forced insurance companies across the country to narrow their lists of preferred providers. The federal law no longer allows insurers to deny customers based on pre-existing conditions, so limiting network choices to doctors and hospitals that offer the highest quality care for the best price has become a more common way to control costs. Some experts also believe patients aren't entitled to cherry-pick their doctor when they're not responsible for the bulk of their bill.
Dr. Tim Pearce, president of the South Carolina Medical Association, appealed directly to the insurance company in a letter dated July 28, explaining that the group believes the decision to drop Medcare Urgent Care from the BlueCross BlueShield network "will have a negative effect on patient safety and satisfaction as well as cause disruption within the urgent care marketplace."
Charleston Mayor Joe Riley sent a similar letter in July. Hallaba launched an online petition July 4, which, to date, has received more than 1,200 signatures.

my beautiful dark twisted fantasy
Posts Tagged 'my beautiful dark twisted fantasy'
NOTE: Please read and respect the warning at the beginning, I don't need any of you to go dying on me.
So yeahhh, this video doesn't really do it for me and I'm sure I am going to to take some shit for it. The video starts out with what looks like a good video with the small girl walking around the city streets, but then it evolves into Kanye dancing on cop cars with little link back to the opening sequence. A major opportunity was missed in involving that plot of shielding your daughter from the ills of inner city life, however, it was mostly lost by the disjointed nature of the rest of the video. There is one redeeming factor though and it happens to be Rihanna's boobs, it really is amazing how someone can look so much better when they are half naked lol.
Kanye has claimed in previous interviews that his Watch the Throne collaborative album with Jay-Z is better than My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and if a few more of these singles surface, I just might believe him. I prefer the rapping Kanye and when he spits with Jay it often pushes Kanye lyrically and has been the source of some of his wittiest rhymes. Kanye continues to mingle across genres by tapping La Roux's Elly Jackson to sing the chorus for him and Jay and despite the title (and my hoping), she never ends up singing "That's My Bitch". Some have said this is a reference track leftover from Kanye's latest album while others claim it is a leak from Watch My Throne, I am assuming the latter due to the audio quality and polished sound often reserved for near finished album cuts but you never know. Shout outs to NahRight for the download link.
Download: Kanye West & Jay-Z ft. Elly Jackson – "That's My Bitch"
Kanye West ft. John Legend, The-Dream, Ryan Leslie, Tony Williams, Charlie Wilson, Elly Jackson, Alicia Keys, Fergie, KiD CuDi, Rihanna & Elton John – "All Of The Lights"
I have to rest my fingers after typing that out but after hearing the song it was well worth it. I'm not sure I heard all the artists the first time through but that is to be expected with such a clusterfuck of artists. Don't get me wrong though, even though there are a ton of artists the song flows surprisingly well, or I should say as well as it can. Kanye's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is dropping Nov. 22nd and the album is great since we have already heard almost every track.

Spotted @ The Rap Up
If any of you follow Kanye's Twitter, you might now how "All Of The Nights" has gone through dozens of mixes. According to the good folks over at The Real Frequency, this is the original version featuring Drake on the hook. Just like with the other released tracks off of Twisted Fantasy, expect the final mix (featuring 11 other guests) to be much more polished and touched up. The synth horns on this sound great and the track in general is presented in a way that will hopefully allow it to resonate in Top 40 radio more than "Power" and "Runaway" have. The supposed full version of "All Of The Lights" is floating around right now, but I'd rather not post it until it's 100% ready. If you're just too damn impatient, then head over to The Rap Up.

Sealover1980, first you need to actually have confidence in what NBC "reports". Did you see their program on the [drum roll] the new black overclass? Yummy!

They work for us!!! Shame on a city of corruption patronage and graft!" Go U.S. Attorney/State A.G. did deep, they work for us (even when they cry racism).
Louisiana is mentioned twice: once in the title and: "Instead, the foreclosure crisis now is being fueled by a spike in defaults in states like Louisiana..." Bad reporting for the AP; expected of the T-P. Translation: no foreclosure crisis exists in LA. Apparently the media feels the need to create problems.
Anyone keeping track on how many things/words "offend" blacks?
We see why Africa is such a basket case.
I wonder who will listen when the blacks cry racism? It's no longer the poor victims. They're now the perpetrators.
xman20002000, go practice your racist, feeble skills on yourself. Ops, you already are.
Google the lawyer's name and let her know regardless of the censorship from this fish wrap aka Times-Picayune.
The black political class is getting oh so desperate...and even more racist than usual.
"former" I like the sound of that.
Maybe, just maybe, the murders in the Murder Capital of the World has something to do with it.
billykidder, oh, ah, I hit the mark. Now tell us all how Africa is such a wonderful and non-violent place. Or, are your just a kidder?
See, this shooting is what happens when people are raised by parents instructing them that everyone other than those in their own race are evil. Too bad the Times-Picayune isn't going under. No paper would be better than this [expletive deleted]
"Violence mocks our state of denial" No, only SOME people are in a state of denial. The same ones who would protest and raise all kinds of hell if someone, anyone tried to do something about it (see the transparency issue). Looks like that Affirmative Action wasn't well spent, but what's new?

whitegirl504, who cares?
Note the Phillies jackets. In addition to being murderers, they're also trend-chasers. Yo NAACP, where's your racist voice about this?
Top Democrats say JINDAL can't cherry pick the stimulus money; but they can pick the taxpayers' pockets.
CLARIFICATION: another black guy raped a white women.

Flash Gordon is delightfully campy
In the 70s, George Lucas wanted to remake the "Flash Gordon" movie serials into a big budget film, but found that mega-producer Dino De Laurentis (the 1976 version of "King Kong") had already bought the rights. So he decided to create his own homage with a project called "Star Wars." In 1980, De Laurentis finally […] [Read More]
Popeye and Woody Woodpecker get the box set treatment

Spurs fourth championship DVD lacks game time
Two years ago, my second review for this column was the 2004-2005 Spurs championship DVD. Every year, the NBA puts out a DVD recapping the NBA champion's season. I didn't give a bad review, but I did find it less than stellar. So now the Spurs have won their fourth title and have their fourth […] [Read More]

My marriage is a mixed marriage. Oh, we're both Caucasian; not that it matters.

I have friends who are Southern Baptists. I also have friends who […] [Read More]

How to Burn DVD Movies onto a CD
Convert the file to mpeg2 if it isn't already. You can do this by downloading
Now here are the steps on how to convert if you should run into any problems
Note! To convert from DivX videos you have to install a DivX Codec
To convert from QuickTime MOV videos you must download the QTReader.vfp, copy it to the TMPGEnc folder. To convert from MPEG2 videos you might need the mpeg2 plugin, extract and copy to the TMPGEnc folder. Or get a MPEG2 Codec and you can open and play MPEG2 with most applications..
Launch TMPGEnc.
1. Browse to open the Video source(if you have trouble opening a video file read the problem at the bottom of this page). 2. Hit the button Load at the bottom right and open the correct Template that you find in the TMPGEnc folder under Templates, open VideoCD(PAL) if the original source in 25 fps or VideoCD(NTSC) if the source in 29,97/30fps or VideoCD(NTSC Film) if the source is 23,97fps. To check what the FPS (frames per second) is open the the AVI/DiVX with Windows Media Encoder and select View->Statistics. If the video is some strange fps as 20fps / 60fps or something try with either PAL or NTSC Film and see what looks best.
3. Select Settings. (see below)
4. Before You Hit Start, it is wise to use the File->Preview to see how the video with look like and it's also good to make a short sample before you encode the entire movie. You can encode some seconds and Stop and view the output. Settings Under Video you can select quality, Use High Quality. (if it is DivX, ASF to MPG you can use Low or Normal Quality). Under Advanced select these settings. Select Source Aspect Ratio select 1:1 (VGA). and under Video Arange Method Full screen(keep aspect ratio)
If you want a fullscreen movie, if the source is in WideScreen and you want it to be in FullScreen you just select under Advanced under Video Arrange Method: No margin(keep aspect ratio) and TMPGEnc will then cut left and right so it will fit FullScreen. Second get a burning program I use Nero so i will give you the steps for using nero.
