|THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE -To Plead for a Return of Constitutional Government- Vol. 10 FORT WORTH, TEXAS, FEBRUARY, 1959 No.2 Urban Renewal Is a Vicious New Angle in Federal Grab for Power REPUBLICANS JUST A WEE BIT LATE IN DECLARING WHAT THE PARTY STANDS FOR At a meeting of leading Republicans at Des Moines recently, the belated decision was reached to set down in black and white what their party stands for. To us this seem.s quite beside the point since any declaration on the subject which they make can only apply to the future. What it has stood for during more than six years that they have been in power is a matter of record. They have stood for wild and extravagant spending of the taxpayers' money unmatched in hist ory; for giving it away to foreign, (including Communist), countries in amounts beyond computation; for the appeasement of Communism and Communists at home and abroad; for the destruction of State Sovereignty and for .centralization of authority by force of bay'2net; for the filling of Federal offices of importance with men possessed of no political morals and void of all sense of responsibility to the American people; for the promotion of economic policies which are unsound and un-American and of social programs which have no rightful place on the agenda of the Fed-eral government. In brief, they have merely served as an echo of the pronouncements and practices of Roosevelt's and Truman's brand of National Socialism. What shall it profit the country for the Republicans to come out now and inform the American people what they stand for since they are on the way out? There has been no greater tragedy perhaps in American history than the total and complete disintegration of the Republican Party through the absolute abandonment of all the principles which once underlay that great organization. Hopes were high in 1952 when, after twenty years of Roosevelt, Truman and corruption, the Republicans came to power with a solemn promise to restore Constitutional Government in the United, States. They didn't do it; they merely completed the demolition job on the Republic which was begun in 1933. So why all the shouting now and the great haste to commit to writ· ing what the Republicans stand for? To their sorrow, the American people already know the answer. What The Governor Of South Carolina ·Said On Segregation Ever since the days of John C. Calhoun, South Carolina has been noted for the high quality of statesmanship on the part of leaders and the present governor, E. F. Hollings, apparently will carry on the tradition. On the occasion of his inauguration on January 20, Governor Hollings assured the citizens of South Carolina, without equivocation and in unmistakable terms, that he will not surrender to economic blackmail and the insults and defamation which both major political parties are hurling at the South in the attempt to enforce integration. "There is today no law and no provision of the Constitution re-quiring racially integrated schools,'' Governor Hollings said. In fact, the contrary is true, he claimed and added: "I cannot conscientiously take the oath to protect and defend the Constitution and not object to the Supreme Court usurping the mandatory power that Constitutionally is vested in three-fourths of the States." Hollings insisted that both responsible Whites and Negroes in South Carolina are in agreement on segregation and that everything possible has been done to provide equality in education. "Let alone, we shall continue to do this," he concluded. At stated interyals the American people go to the polls to elect men to represent them in both Houses of Congress. No sooner have many of these chosen public servants shaken the dust of their local community from their feet and arrived in Washington than a metamorphosis sets in and strange new personalities emerge. Instead of devoting the full measure of their energy, resource and ability to the defense and preservation of the Sovereignty of the State which has honored them, they become glorified puppets of the Federal Govern· ment in Its endless and eternal struggle for authority which the Constitution has denied it. As a result, the States are rapidly dwindling to the status of subjugated provinces wl.ose citizens are liHie more than s.ervile slaves of snooping overlords in Washington determined to pry into and direct every detail of their private lives. Urban Renewal is a vicious weapon, voted by the Congress, which will enable the Federal Government to seize control of the cities even as it has already laid profane hands on the Sovereign States of the Union. Centralized authority has always been the snag on which ambitious heads of nations have stubbed their toe and fallen flat on their face, dragging their government down with them. One by one ancient dictators bit the dust when their domination of the people became absolute and the citizens' inalienable right to work out their own social and economic destiny was abridged "for the good of the State." Pericles decreed the beginning of the end of Athens' glory and Appius Claudius started Rome on the death march to oblivion when they instituted One-Man government and squeezed the last vestige of human freedom from their unwilling subjects. It was in that age of civilization that a theory of government first began to flower which is popular in this country today-the philosophy that taxpayers, like children, should be seen and not heard and that their lives are best planned and managed by a benevolent centralized authority. It is always difficult to pin-point the exact date in history when tyranny first raises its ugly head over the horizon of a free nation for despotism, like creeping paralysis, inches up on its victims so slowly, steadily and imperceptibly that its approach is seldom detected until it is too late to check its deadly advance. In the United States the theory of centralized authority is associated with Alexander Hamilton, the Federalist, but this trend was halted by level-headed and freedom-loving statesmen who came after him. The dreamy Internationalist, Woodrow Wilson, toyed with the idea of strong central control without ever knowing quite what to do about it. It is generally conceded that Franklin D. Roosevelt gave this policy the drive, impetus and momentum which continues today with such unabated force that Sovereign States, whose Constitutional authority is actually paramount to that of the Federal Government, are fast losing the battle to Washington and American citizens are rapidly becoming a people of lost identity. Like all clever tyrants, Roosevelt used guile and deceptively soft words to distract the taxpayers while he formulated policies which looted {Continued on Page 2) Millions of Americans Think It-The Southern Conservative Says It Page 2 THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE Februocy, 1959 Conservatives Should Be In One Party And Liberals In Another More and moTe it is becoming apparent to thoughtful Ameri.eans that unless Conservatives are banded together into one party and Liberals into another, there is little hope for the American Republic in the foreseeable future.

In this mixed-up and confused situation, it is almost certain that International Socialists like Nelson It has been the history Ot the human race that the ruling classes never surrender power or relinquish the purse or the sword unless compelled by the peopl" to do so. Freedom is always the object of attack by politicians while- its preservation is the aWn of statesmen. Rockefeller and Adlai Stevenson, or somebody comparabl'e to them, will be the candidal!es in 1960.

Contrary to popular bel-ief, it was also Roosevelt who invented "\he tranquilizer long before medical scientists came up with the Mil town Fill. The brand-name of bis tranquilizer was the Filresfde Chat and through this hypn<>tic deYice he Iuned the people tm sleep~ In their setm-cC!)matose state, it was easy for him to rob them of their initiative,. deprive them of the capacity for original thought and convert them. into wil.li.ng and impotent sfaves of a centralized government in Washington. In this partially: conscious condition, a large segment of the American people were transformed from sturdy, independent and rugged individuals ready and eager to face the. haJdships and handicaps. their parents had met and overcome on the thorny road to success, and con.ver;ted them into whimpering, sniveHng and pap-sucking weaklings unable ta envision any future which did not include a soft joq during their productive years with social security and a government dole waiting for them in the sunset oti life.. lt was a noxious and deadLy doctrine - more dangePous than any physical disease ever visited upon the human race. Howeven, all that is water over the dam except that it is important for Americans. to review the steps leading up to the. horrible apathy which envelops. them now. It explains. why they have attained their present semi-serf status with relation to their Federal Government and it will cushion the shock which awaits. them as new and daring grabs for power unfold befo&e them, such as the Urban Renewal proiet:ti for instance. Heretofore attempts at Federal control of the C!:itizen have been largely confined to legislation by Congress, Executive- orders arul. Judicial rulings which restricted or usuliped the authfi>rity of the several States. as a whole and which was more or less a "retair' operation. in tyranny but this new grab fmr power is being launched on a "whaiesaJe" basis whereby the cities will be taken over .. one by one. until the entire nation shall have been hopelessly trapped in the gargantuan scheme of centralized controt. This. Federalization. project known as Urban Renewal; in whiCh Washington puts. up two.-tbirds. of the: funds invol'led in tearing down and re.-builEling certain sections of a city, is. in keeping. with the custom of dictators from the beginning of time who disguise. all mo'llements_ for the subjugation of the people as a benevolent service to the public. Urban Renewal proposes to eliminate all slums,. re.c.onstruct Ousiness districts to conform to Federally-prepared blueprints and, in brief, to turn out a municipal paradise· in which the citizen will enjoy every imaginable benefit except the priceless privilege of individual freedom and the right to regulate his own life and operate his own business in accwrdan~e with his own desire as guattanteed him in the basic provisions. of the Constitution of the United States. Urban Renewal which would forcibly remove the inhabi1!ants of a slum district and relocate them elsewhere regardless of whethew or not they want to. IMve, ignores the basic concept t!hat a man's home is hfSi castl'e and this l'l()lds. true whether such home is a mansion in the most excl'usfv:e residential dfstrid or a corrugated iron shack near the city dump. n- oveulcoks also the vitaf fa·rt that most of fiho~ w1io Jive' in slums a-rr there by choice- and that any district into. w1ii'c:h: most ot them would m4!>ve would automatically become another slum.

To classify this new venture in centralized authority, however, as strictl'y a Federal project is not exactly in accordance with fact since. t!Je pf·an is jointly sponsored by the Federal Government, the Rockefeller interests and some of tfre slickest real estate promoters and quick money boys ever granted a license to operate tfleir racket on the American continent. By tli.e ad'option of Url'>an Renewal. the FederaL Government would benefit through strengthenO<d control over the. citizen. the Rockefeller Interests by the e.xtension of their vast financial empire since it is partly their money used to l'>uifd huee industrial centers under the plan, and the real estate promoters would rea:p millions ot dollars by the confisca· tion of slum areas at t.heir own price and their re-sale at;. enormous p1ofit.

J 959 fHE SOUHIERN CONSERVATIVE Pogo l Another Principle Destroyed May James Roosevelt Fail And A New "Crime" Developed As Did His Father Before Him A time-honored principle of the--------'----- -------- ~~!~d:~~~ s~~~~~ ~·~i: i~~~~:: LEGISLATION BY PRINCIPLE GIVES ~o;ea~s,tc~~~.~~~~·~t::ct ~~~nn~; WAY TO lEGISLATION BY COMPROMISf a New York Judge. Marie Torre~ a television columnist, was sent to jail for r.efusing to reveal the source of her information in a .statement she made two years ago in her column in which .she apparently quoted a remark of a Columbia Broadcasting System official conoerning Judy Garland, a Hollywood movie actress who took offense and sued CBS for a million dollars. Since State c011rts almost invariably protect the right of reporters to keep the source of their information <:onfidential, we figured !bat this must be an unusual case. We felt sure that the official in question must have accused M-iss Garland of triple murder or at least of having pushed a widow woman's dog in the <:reek or the judge w<>uld not hav,e sent the lady columnist to jail Imagine our consternation when Jt finally came out, as Miss Torre languished in the jug, that the aforementioned official had merely suggested that the reason why Miss Garland refused to work f<>r the network was because .she consid. ered herself too fat. Ye gods! As one who has waged an eternal battle with calories throughout most of our adult life, we can sympathire with the channing movie aetr.ess and understand her chagrin at tt.us being described, but this is the first time that we ever Tealized that it is a crime to refer to anybody as •'fat" and that such charge Is subject to libel f<>r which a million dollars can he demanded by the offended party. Anyway, it has given us an idea which we shall act upon at the first <>pportunity. While we are not a movie actress and our weight is of no importance to anyone but us, we occasionally have friends tactfully ask us if we haven't gained a little since they saw us iast. Hereafter, we are going to keep ottr ears and eyes open and see if we can't izweigle some well-heeted character into coming out fiat and -accusing us of being fat in which case we wm slap a mitiion dollar libel suit on them. That'll fix 'em-and us, too, if we can collect. We've said it so many times that it sounds !ike we're singing a. song but one of the most vicious and .dangerous pressure groups in the country is the National Education Association. They are back in WaS'hi71:gton this yeaT, in dToves, plugging for Federal Aid to education. They wan-t the Federal government to subsidize the public schools of the nation but where a government that is nearly $300,- 000,000,000.00 in debt is going to get the money tkese eggheads haven't the faintest idea. Of course the Federal govern:ment has no Ousineu in educational fields even if it were solvent, and ftad billions in surplus. When the Se.nate voted at llhe opening session of the Eighty-!rixth C<>ngress that only three-fourths of the members present cou.ld halt debate, instead of thre<Hourths of all members as fmmerly. tke action was hailed by headlines in the press as .. a personal victory for Lyndon Johnson~·. lf it came u a surprise to responsible Amerkans that the purpose of legislation is not to grant any personal victory to ambitious politicians, but to maintain principles of government, that is beside the point. The rule has been changed and the camel got his head in the tent. Since the new rule provides that cloture, -or debate-stopping maneuvers, can be .applied on rules changes where heretofure there was no limitation of debate where Iules changes were concerned, it means that subsequent sessions will be confronted with the same efforts to .emasculate Rule XXII. The time-honored rule, of course should have remained as it was and any change at all was a concession to those who are out to destroy Constitutional Government which the weakening of this rule ma'kes eHier. Outside of a few Southerners led by Senator Richard Russell of Georgia, there was no organized defense for the retention of Rule XXll which was set up to prevent the passage of ill-considered and unwise legislation. Johnson, the majority leader. apparently was not concerned with 'the -presezvation of the principle embodied in Rule XX!l. He hit the deck with a "'.compromise" right frQID. the fir.st. Obviously a "compromise" is the only type of legislative procedure with Which he is familiar. Perhaps the American people who for so long have had to accept the lesser of two evils in choosing their national leaders should be grateful that the change was no worse. Maybe. with statesmanship at its low.est ebb in history, we have reached the point where "compromise ·· is the best we may expect. And Our Own Country Is Warren Resigns. But Read Nearly $300 Billion In Debt This Before Applauding Here is a cute little item which was buried back among the want ads of the daily press on January 23: "The United States agreed Fri< lay to pay the dollar cost. up to $1,- 200,000.00, of supplying Poland· with American books, films, newspapers and magazines during 1959. The new agreement is $200,000.00 more than last yeat". And there seems to be no individual, or group of individuals, in Washington who have the author~ :ity or the inclination to stop such <Stupid and criminal acts as this against the American taxpayers. It has been reported in news from Washington that Chief Justice Ear1 Warren has submitted his resignation-as a member of the American Bar Association. His resignation was said to have been caused by the sharp criticism directed against him and other members of the Gourt for some of their decisions by officials of the Bar Association. That'.s fine for the American Bar Association and a good riddance of bad rubbish but it does not help l:b.e American people any. Only his resignation from the Supreme Court could do that.

Merrm Root, professor of English at Eat'lham College, Richmond, Indiana, should at least take tile time to find out whether .or not any of the following textbooks are being used to "educateu their <:hild or children in the history of tne United States: The United States.

If one or more of these textbooks are used in the schools attended by their .ohild.ren, American parents should get a copy of Merrill's book and tnfonn them.se1ves on the authors of such textbooks. (The HoU~to.n Chronicle) After Congressman Martin Dies brought about the <:reation of the House un-American activities committee and became its first chairman in the 1930s, the committee began ferreting out a frightening degree of Communist infiltration into the federal government and almost aU facets of American life. The CGomm.ie.c.rats~ whose secret playho~se was penetrated, began screammg to the high heavens about violation of civil rights. witch huntmg and persecution. President Roosevelt took the side of the Commiecrats. He first tried to persuade Dies to lay off the ~munist-s. Bat Dies, who has JUSt retired as the congressman at large from Texas .after the office was abolished., is a determined man. Then the Presidettt applied strongarm. tactics.. He threatened and even med to get Dies defeated in his Orange district. By this time, bowever, ~gh. members of Congress and a iarge segment of the Ameri~ can public had been awakened to the Communist menace. The un4 American activities committee sur4 viv.ed. There are many in high places who believ-e that this country might a1ready have been subverted to a dangerous degree by the Communists had it not been for the work of the committee. J. Ed,gar Hoover, bead of the FBI and the .symbol of ..security for the American people, recently said, ;~~~~~~~ttee is safeguarding Comes now another Roosevelt, son of the late President, to try to achiev.e what his father failed to do. Rep. James Roosevelt (D., Cal.) has Introduced a resolution in the House to kill the un-American activities committee. For <>nee, the Republicans in the House have shown a little collective fortitude. In an unprecedented action, Republican members of the House met Thursday and voted unanimously to oppose the Roosevelt resolution. The nation owes these G.O.P. rombers a debt of gratitude. If each G.O.P. member sticks to his vote, the Roosevelt resolution is doomed. Th~e are enough sane and patriotic Democrats to j<>in the Republican< and defeat the resolution. Not only should tile committee be continued, it should have the strong backing of the House and, for that matter, of the entire Amer .. ican public. THERE IS VIRTUE IN "AP.ARTNESS" ALSO '"'Togetherness" may be a good catch-word for those who spout 4'Human Brotherhood~' but sometimes it can be carried too far in the opinion of a Michigan man. He has just sued to oust his brother-in-iaw from his home. He claims that tbe brother-in-law .came to visit him soon after he married and has been there .eve£ since. That was twenty-nine years ago.

THE TENTH AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES: The powen not delegated to th• United St.tes by th• Constitution, nor prohibited bylttotheStat&~er•reservedtoth• Statesnspectively,ortothepeopll. Where 'Compromise' Leaves Off And Treachery Begins Senator Lyndon Johnson of Texas who achieved the unenviable distinction of being the first member of Congress from the Lone Star State to vote for a Civil Rights bill since the Civil War has established another precedent. He has written and offered to the Senate a Civil Rights bill of his very own. Disregarding any "compromisIng" provisions which may be embodied in his bill and whether his distorted conception of the matter enables him to envision his measure as something better than those which may be offered by others, the cold-blooded fact remains that any Southerner who contributes to the further distress and heartbreak of the Southern people by either voting for, or sponsoring, any type of Civil Rights billls disloyal to the South in any language. Personally, we have far greater respect for Javitts of New York who is an uncompromising mongrelizer and not ashamed of it, than we have for a Southern public servant who would deliberately insult the majority of his constituents in the vague hope of advancing his own political interests. Any man in public office who classifies himself as a ''moderate" is a political hermaphrodite. He is neither for anything nor against anything and, in his neuter gender status, commands respect from neither Conservatives nor Liberals who are pronounced in their convictions. From an overly-generous subscriber in Dallas: "Every editorial you write for the Southern Conservative is touched with immortality." THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE IT'S LAWMAKERS, NOT LOBBYISTS, WHO SHOULD BE PUT ON THE SPOT A new piece of legislation known as the Lobby Law became effective in Texas with the opening of the current session of the legislature at Austin under which all those seeking to influence legislation must register and give full information concerning their employment. to answer along with taking their oath of office. They should be forced to tell who actually financed their campaign and what selfish motive such sponsor had in doing so. They should have to answer at least a couple of dozen questions relating to fundamental provisions of their State Constitution to prove what, if anything, they know about that important document. Two Parties Differ Only in Labels (Fort Worth Star-Telegram) The national chairmen of both the Democrats and the Republicans are concerned about presenting to the P_Ublic a "clear image" of their par~ ties. They should be, for the images of the two parties have been so blurred in recent years that one has been distinguishable from the other only by the label. As an example nobody raised an eyebrow last yea: when it was suggested that Chief Justice Warren, a nominal Republican, be made the Democratic presi .. dential nominee in 1960. This seems pretty silly to us. After all, what is "lobbying" except the exercise of the right of the citizen to "seek redress of wrongs" and if anybody thinks that the average bunch of lawmakers can't enact as much "wrong" legislation as any other kind, they have another guess coming. Any member of a legislature who votes for a law restraining lobbyists is unsure of his own convictions and afraid they won't stand up under pressure. If we were a member of a legislature, a lobbyist could talk until he was blue in the face without influencing our vote unless he could produce factual evidence and documented proof that he was right and we were wrong in which case it would be our duty to change our mind. Full discussion never hurts any proposed law. They should be compelled to name the university or college they attended, how many left-wing pro-fessors instructed them and how The trouble with trying to pre .. much brain-washing they under- sent a clear image of either of the went in the process. parties is that there is no agreement Also, they should be required to on what form the image should declare under oath to what extent take.

We have known lots of lawmakers on a more or less intimate basis and we've known lots of lobbyists too in various State capitals. When it comes to a matter of brains, experience and understanding of fundamental principles of government, members of the Third House often have it all over their colleagues who are on the inside looking out. In fact, it has often occurred to us that there should be some sort of questionnaire which all members of a legislature should be required In the final analysis, we can't escape the fact that when a business executive hires a man to represent his interests in the State Capital, he is not going to pick out some young buck who is still wet behind the ears and who has yet to acquire his legislative wisdom by trial and error, but, instead, is going to select a person of experience, maturity and ability. On the ·other hand, it has been proved time and time again that almost anybody can get elected to the legislature. In view of all this, our reaction is "phooey on the lobby law."

Those who had most success un~ der the Republican banner in the recent congressional elections - Nelson Rockefeller in New York and U. S. Senator Goldwater in Arizona- presented entirely contrast .. ing images of Republicanism to the voters. The image held aloft by Mr. Rockefeller was the prototype of modern Republicanism, though with the Republican label studiously hidden from view. The image upheld by Senator Goldwater was that of the staunch conservative Republican making no compromise with the liberal line. It is no wonder -that ~he two pictures can not be merged without producing a confusing blur, like two images captured successively upon the same film. As for the Democrats, what is the true image? Is it that offered by the Democratic advisory commit .. tee, with its insistence upon a program which is anathema to the South and the destruction of the South's chief means of resistance in Congress? Is it a party with a strong liberal-labor accent which only in name represents the traditional Democratic principles to which the South has given its loy .. alty through the years? Or is the moderation of a Lyndon Johnson, or the conservatism of a Byrd or a Russell? Out of such widely varying elements it is hard, if not impossible, to construct any sort of a consistent image. Many voters-a constantly increasing number of them-now say they vote for the man instead of the party. The reason is plain enough. The two parties have no image-nothing that clearly designates them as being either Republican or Democratic. A Sovereign State which accepts u aid" from the Federal government in return for surrendering its rights and freedom is in the same class as a kept woman who trades her self-respect for luxuries showered on her by a sugar daddy. ,- Feb••••Y· 1959 Life-Termers on Of Suggestions THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE Supreme Court Get From a Smoldering No matter how many groups may pub- or that ·ancient Constitution? ~a~~d ~~ t~~~o~!~ ~~Je ~~~-r~~ ~~~/h:n~is~fo~u~~:~~:i~: ~~~~0:0~~ 88~i 14 y~:Zi~~~~~ ~u~~u~~~~i~t:o.n~~~ schoolhouses where the only thing the United States will continue to be Tom ruled against firing a government red was the schoolhouse itself and ~:::~:~~;: ;:!~;ss~~-Farm and Ranch at ~~~~=~ ~~~~~~~~fe~~~;s: :~~u;~ ~:v~~~ 8~8~t ~~~e~~~ ~a~n;,or~ We not only admire Mr. Anderson for his forthright and undiluted Americanism and his outspoken defense of the underlying principles which have made this country great, but we admire him for his ability, when discussing Washington bureaucrats, to express his opinion in caustic phrases which is the only language conscientious Americans can employ in depicting the behavior of unscrupulous politicians.

The hue and cry against ucolonialism" which has gone up since World War II is a device of the Communists. Indonesia is a fair example of how ~~anti-Colonialism" operates. Up until 1949 the Dutch controlled that country and under their rule the people were happy and contented. When the "Independence Movement" for Indonesia started Washington got into the act and finaZ!y forced the Dutch out of that area. Indonesia then went to the Communists, and we are supplying them with money and arms to fight antiCommunist movements w h i c h break out there now and then.

Page 6 THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE r..brUOT)', .f{l59 AFL-CIO BEGINS ORANIZING SCHOOL TEACHERS' UNIONS We told in a recent edition how the AFL-CIO was planning to organize policemen, school teachers, nurses and others whose oc~pa~ tions and responsibility to the pub~ lie make it imperative that they not be subject to orders by labor union leaders who can call them out on strike at any time. The first move of the AFL-CIO along this line in Texas has now been made. A small group of Houston teachers have organized a local of the American Federation of Teachers, an affiliate of the AFLCIO. The Houston local was set up by one Henry Clarke, international representative of the T e a c h e r s Union, who came to Houston following an election in which the people of Houston voted against a raise in taxes to increase teachers' salaries. He seized upon the occasion to bring a few teachers into the union and promised those who attended his organizational meeting "a sizable increase in salaries through c o 11 e c t i v e bargaining backed by political influence." In this connection, a brief review of the American Federation of Teachers is interesting and inform-ative. .. The Federation has had an unsavory reputation which dates back many years. In the beginning it was set up with funds furnished by the Communist-aiding Garland F u n d and was closely associated with the American Civil Liberties Union and stood for freedom to teach Socialism, Communism and Atheism. In an article in the Saturday Evening Post in 1939 Benjamin Stolberg said that several h u n d r e d teachers withdrew from the Federation following unsuccessful efforts We are advised that in Phoenix, Arizona, the FHA, after taking over houses from Negroes in socalled slum clearance projecu, is advising these Negroes to take the money received for theit- property and buy in white neighborhoods.

Nobody can say that Texas is not ri.ght on the beam and keeping in the forefront of modern government policy.

We just can't afford to let Washington get ahead of us. of educators to bring peaoe in the strife-torn organization and added: "Since then the Stalinists have had it all their own way, both nationally and in the important New York Local. The American Teacher {the Federation's official organ) and the New York Teacher (official organ of the New York Local) and the College News Letter are virtually house organs of the Communist Party." Bella Dodd~ former Communist leader who left the party and gave valuable information in exposing Communist tactics~ testified at length concerning the Federation >(>hich may be found beginning on page 145 of the 1953 Report, UnAmerica. n Activities in California. Miss Dodd's testimony was to the effect that the New York local to which she belonged while a Communist Party member. was heavily infiltrated and influenced by ComtnLmists. Robert Graham of Smith College testified before the Committee on Un-Amerkan Activities, House of Representatives,. Washington, D.C., in 1953 to the effect that policies of leadership in the Federation were handled by Communists. Barbara Hartle, a Communist Party member, testified before the Committee on Un-American Activities in 1954 and told of the infiltration of Communists in the Fed~ eration in the Pacific Northwest Aside from the ethics of organizing school teachers into a union, the above would suggest that it is also a dangerous procedure as educators, as everyone knows, are the natural targets of Communists in their campaign to infiltrate the educational field in the United States. Even while Russia wa.s our rratfy'" during World War II, that country gave important secret information to the Japs concerning American plans to Liberate the Philippines according to Rear Admiral Samuel Eliot Morrison in his latest volume of a history of Naval Operations in World War II just reteased.

The ACPS might have searehed the nation over without finding a more worthy recipient of this tribute than the great United States Senator from Georgia. EMPLOYERS SHOUlD HAVE RIGHT TO FIRE HElP fOR ANY CAUSE More and more it _is becoming difficult for American employers to fire ttJ.ose who work for them although from a common sense viewpoint, they have the same right to fire .as they do to hire. This ls often true in industry where the head of a business concern often <iispenses with the services of an undesirable employee only to have this same employee bounce back on him like a rubber check when some labor wtion objecfs to such discharge. It is also true in the firing of Federal government employees, school teachers, and many others. As has been widely published, the National Council of Churches or rather the leadership of the outfit, bas gone on reoord in favor of recognition {)f Communist China by the American Government. Recently some Protestant Clergymen, headed by the Rev. Dan Poling of Philadelphia, took a nation~wide poll of the pastors of Protestant ministers in the United States on the subject. The poll revealed that 7437 of B5V2 ministers of all Protestant denominations answering the poll and expressing an opiniion, oppose the reoog.nition of Red Cbina by the United States. This proves that the vast majority of the leadership of American Protestant churches is not In harmony wH5h the views of the National Conncil of Churches and that the tatter in asking for recognition of the Red Chinese are merely Teflecting the views of the little clique of Communist sympathizers which controls the policies of NCC.

Church Gathering Chooses Panel Member With A Long Communist Front Record In all the thousands of pages of subversion as developed by official investigating committees, very few names more thickly dot the record than that of Cuey McWilliams. Not only is he revealed as belonging to more than fifty Communist fronts but he was also reported as a Communist Party member. . In view of this unsavory record, It was no doubt quite a shock to good Americans to Jearn from the Texas Churchman, the official organ of the Episcopal Church, that at a meeting of the Division of Racial Minorities of the Home Department of the National Council of the Episcopal Church in Austin, Texas, January 20 Carey McWilliams was listed as a panel member. Austin is the home of the Epis~ copal Theological Seminary of the S o u t h w e s t, an institution long known as harboring left-wing professors on its staff but it is believed that this is the first time an actual former party member has been invited to officially take part in denominational gatherings. The Committee on Un-American Activities, House of Representatives, Washington, D.C., in its publication entitled "Review of the Scientific and Cultural Conference for World Peace," published in 1949, on page 36, says: "Of the over 500 sponsors of the Scientific and Cultural Conference for World Peace at least 22 are either avowed members of the Communist Party. U.S.A, or their membership cards or party affiliations have been made part of a sworn public record." Then foilows a listing of these 22 persons, Carey McWilliams among them. The 4th Report, Un-American Activities in California, page 375, 1948 describes a Communist front organization Jrnown as the Sleepy Lagoon D e f e n s e Committee in which it says: "This organization is one of the off-shoots of International Labor Defense and was utilized to agitate among Mexican youth in Los Angeles County and, of course, for collecting funds for the Communist Party." Carey Me~ Williams is listed as national chairman of the SLDC. Incidentally, according to the Texas Churchman. one of the panel discussions at the Austin meeting was titled "Social and Civil Inequal· ities Experienced by Latin-Americans." The discussion was led by McWilliams, and two others. Hearings held by the Committee on Un-American· Activities held in Washington in 1947 were featured by testimony from a witness named Roy M. Brewer, International Representative of the International AI· lianceofTheatrical Stage Employes and Moving Picture Machine Operators who testified under oath concerning a strike at Warner Brothers Cyrus Eaton, the pro-Communist Cle.veland multimillionaire, has just returned from a visit to Moscow with high praise of the Soviets a-nd their way of life. He said that Krushchev was an honest man a'ftd that the Hungarian Revolution was a phony issue provoked studio in I945 and who said: .. There appeared at Warner Brothers studio mass picket lines which, according ~e;~ed:~~!~eJnt:~~:e~~ei;y ~~~~~r: cal force any one from going through into the studio. As a re-sult of these mass picket lines, a complete state of anarchy was cre4 ated at Warner Brothers studio. The management of that studio could not get into his own studio. The police department attempted to cope with it, but found them· selves completely unable to do so with the result that pressure was brought to bear on various groups and eventually the strike was set· tied." According to Mr. Brewer's lengthy testimony, some of the most unbelievable acts of violence which have ever happened in the American labor movement were C?mmitted. A subsequent investiga .. t10n by California found evidence of Communist activity behind the strike. Mr. Brewer named Carey McWilliams as one of those in the picket line. Another man taking part in the Austin meeting, according to the Texas Churchman. was Dr. George I. Sanchez who is with the Department of History and Philosophy of Education at the University of Texas. Dr. Sanchez -is listed in AppendilC IX, Committee on Un-American Activitie~, House of Representatives, Washmgton. D.C. as having been affiliated with the First Congress of the Mexican and Spanish-Ameri· can Peoples of the United States. Of this organi1ation, Appendix IX says: "Among the Communist fronts for racial agitation" which also served as "money-collecting medi~" and as "special political or· ganizmg centers for the racial minority they pretend to champion:• Sanchez was also a speaker at a meeting in Houston at the YWCA on May 17, 1955 sponsored by the Southern Conference Educational Fund. Inc., which succeeded the old Southern Conference for Human Welfare cited as a Communist front. The Houston meeting at which Sanchez spoke was headed by Aubrey Williams and James Dombrowski, both with long affiliations with Communist fronts. t Surely, there will be strong reaction from rank and file Episcopalians throughout the country when it becomes generally known that such men as McWilliams and Sanchez were invited to take part in an official meeting of that great denomination. ~ Also, we assume that responsible leaders of the denomination will go thoroughly into the matter and find out exactly who is responsible for inviting a former Communist Party member and a Communistfronter to address an official con-. ference of the Episcopal Church. , .,..,. by the United States.

Page I THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE WHY SOME WOMEN ADMIRE AMERICAN READERS GET SAMPLE OF HER AND WHY WE DO NOT JOURNALISM AT ITS LOWEST LEVEL Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt was scheduled to speak in Dallas on January 14 at Southern Methodist University where she would have no doubt delivered her usual tripe about the United Nations being the ''world's gr~atest hope for peace" and for good measure thrown in some race·mixing propaganda on the side. Because of weather conditions her plane was grounded at Chicago and she couldn't make it and so the proposed address was postpon· ed until a date in April. But even though she didn't get to Dallas, that city's leftwing fe· male contingent broke out in a dither of compliments for their Idol and spread out the verbal red carpet for her reception. On that date a few local women came out in the Dallas News with a whole column of praise for the · pin-up glrl of the pinkos. The pack was led by Judge Sarah Hughes whose leftish leanings have carried her so far that she can't proceed another inch without going overboard. She declared that she admired Mrs. R. "because she was unselfish and untiring" and because she "devoted her boundless energy to the cause of peace". A Mrs. Stakhakos Condos, PresIdent of the Dallas Federation of Women's Clubs chimed in that her admiration was based "on the courage and fortitude she displayed during her young adulthood in accepting and conquering physical and emotional problems." To a Dr. Nina Fay Calhoun, past president of Altrusa, Mrs. Roosevelt is to be admired because "she is a well informed woman who is willing to serve her fellow men at a personal sacrifice, and to Mrs. Leon S. Price, national committee chairman for the National Congress of Parents and Teachers she has .. intelligence and charm with a great caring for all people regardless of their race, creed or color". There wasn't any invitation extended for the vast majority of Texas women to say why they don't admire Mrs. Roosevelt but since we're not timid where this intrepid lady is concerned, we will just )>reak right down and tell why our respect and admiration for her never veers above the minimum. Here, very briefly, is why we definitely do not admire her: She can take the most depraved policy of government or the most degenerate social proposal which human minds can devise and clothe them with words which cause them to appeal to the unthinking multi· tudes as doctrines of divine inspiration. And although she is a woman of recognized standing in wide circles whom fate endowed with almost limitless opportunity to exert wholesome influence on her fellow Americans she has chosen, instead, to make perhaps the most notable contribution to corrupt economic theories and abhorrent social prac- ~ tices of any woman in contemporary history. In spite of its spurious claim that it presents all viewpoints on issues of vital importance to the American people, Reader's Digest has always been a left-wing publication which has donated its space liberally to those advocating National Socialism and sparingly to those who would preserve Constitutional Government in the American Republic. We do not believe, however, that it has ever before allowed its pages to be soiled by such literary offal as that embodied in an article in the February edition concerning Governor Orval E. Faubus of Arkansas by an unknown Little Rock reporter with a depraved and distorted conception of public service. That beleaguered Southern city has moce than one degenerate journalist who would have to use a step-ladder to reach the level of a sewer but it also has plenty of high-class and informed members of the Fourth Estate who know how to discuss the situation there with dignity, fairness and intelligence. The Digest would have reflected more credit on the judgment of its editors by selecting a writer of such calibre. Governor Orval E. Faubus is the Governor of a Southern State and is doing everything within his power to protect the sovereign rights of that State and whether the editors of Reader's Digest like him personally or not, they owe it to their readers to present his position and viewpoint by those capable o! giving factual information rather than by an ignorant backwoodsman who has obviously never lifted himself above his original environment. In its rise to financial affluence, Reader's Digest has been materially assisted by the people of the South who have subscribed and purchased its publication through subscription and from news stands and who have read its contents, which is often little more than trashy propaganda, with a minimum of complaint. One would think that common gratitude would deter the management from repaying such support with vile Insult to a Governor of one of the Southern States. Our guess is that Southern resentment will be expressed in no uncertain terms and that the circulation of Reader's Digest will be materially reduced in Dixie. NEW MOVEMENT LOOMS IN TEXAS TO OFF-SET POWERFUL LEFTIST FORCES "Nobody ever lobbies for economy in government." This assertion in the press by one of Texas' soundest-thinking members of the House of Representatives in Austin, Hon. Frates Seeligson of San Antonio, together with a warning by a prominent industrialist of the State has generated a movement for better government which promises to become state-wide in proportions. Closely allied with Representative Seeligson's pronouncement was the comment of the Honorable D. A. Hulcy, chairman of the board of the Lone Star Gas Company at Dallas calling attention to the apathy and laxity of the nation's business men toward legislation affecting their particular industry. "Business leaders must get into politics actively if they are going to help write the ground rules under which they must live and operate,"Mr. Hulcy told a state meeting of the Texas Manufacturers Association recently. He added that there are powerful forces who shape economic policies because they schooled themselves in politics as it is played at the grass roots and in smoke-filled rooms. These forces are steering our economy to the far left, he pointed out, while there are no comparable organized groups working as assiduously in the promotion of sound policies of government. Above and beyond the inspiration provided by the views of the two great Texans mentioned above in the formation of the proposed movement lies the fear of the invasion of Texas by Walter -Reuther and his goon squad, and a sincere desire to head off the calamity of labor government for Texas. Emboldened by his success in getting many of his stooges into the present Congress, Walter Reuther is known to be casting sheep's eyes toward Texas with a view to making it the locale of his next conquest. Texas has a right-to-work law which merely provides that a citizen shall be entitled to work and support his family and contribute to the support of government and civic institutions with or without joining a union. Only the most depraved political thought holds that this principle should not be incorported into the statutes of every State but the CIO-PAC is said to be ready to make a massed assault on the law In Texas. We hope the new movement materializes and flowers into full strength and that a rugged and vigorous group of reputable and substant· ial citizens come together into an organization, with or without a name, which shall prove an effective force in the advancement of sound government in the Lone Star State. February, 1959 Federal Action Which Might Have Taken Place In Moscow There are scores of cases which could be cited but three separate incidents occurring recently make it extremely difficult for an Ameri· can citizen to distinguish between official actions of those representing the Federal Government in Washington and those representing the Soviet Union in Moscow. In one of these actions, a Michi· gan Farmer, Mr. Stanley Yankus, was compelled to abandon his chicken-raising business and seek other means of livelihood when a Federal agency confiscated his working capital and his farm implements because he had committed the heinous crime of planting wheat to feed his chickens in amounts considered excessive by Washington politicians. The second action which is deplored by all right-thinking Ameri· cans was the massed assault on the public school system of Virginia where Governor Almond is striving against heavy odds to maintain States Rights in connection with their educational institutions and to hold back Communist forces who are back of the integration movement. The third spectacle which makes good Americans hang their heads in shame was the action of a Feder· al judge in Montgomery, Alabama, in haling former Circuit Judge George C. Wallace before him to consider whether or not Judge Wallace was in contempt of court because of the latter's staunch defense of his rights in withholding records from Federal snoopers who are without authority to interfere in the affairs of a Sovereign State. Judge Wallace was not cited for contempt but it was a regrettable and sorry sight to see him haled into court like an ordinary criminal when, as a matter of fact, he was performing his duty to the people of Alabama in keeping records of his court inviolable. Being President of United States Is Full-Time Job Mr. John Foster Dulles repeatedly takes the position that this country must play the leading role in the troubles of the world and that the President's position as a world leader becomes more evident each day. What millions of Americans would like to know is who selected Mr. Eisenhower to be a world lead· er and why should the United States assume the burdens of the world? Being President of the United States is, or should be, a full time job and there are so many unresolved problems in this country that it's nothing short of stupid to assume that the President has time to serve as ruler of the world. Any way, in assuming this position he is infringing on the prerogatives of the United Nations which is collecting many billions of dollars under the widely held belief that this organization was set up to supervise the affairs of all nations and keep peace in the world. They can't both work the same side of the street.

Author has written 8 stories for Rurouni Kenshin, Ranma, One Piece, Special Unit 2, and Kyo kara Maoh!/今日からマ王!.
Greetings to any and all. After many years of drooling over great fanfiction, and sending scathing critiques to the rest, I have decided to add my insanity to the pool. I shall be writing in the anime genres of One Piece, Rurouni Kenshin, and Ranma to begin with. Also, in television I shall be endeavoring to write some Stargate SG1.
As I run the gamut on pairing preferences, please read the warnings, some will be saturated with slash, while others will harm your eyes with their het-ness. (See, alliteration can be fun!)
For those of you interested in Battle moves the longer version (Rated M+) it can be found on , under then same writer name. Be warned, you must be 18 years or more, or 21 years or more to go there, and thus to read that fic. I shall attempt to update both versions reasonably soon.
Thanks to everyone who has reviewed all of my fics so far!
About my writing style:
Now that I've written a few things, I may actually have a writing style, and it is slllllooooooowwwwwww... No I'm not talking about my infrequent updating style, but the story progression itself. You are never going to see -boy meets girl (or more likely another boy), boy and girl fall in luv/lust and do naughty things- I like a long progression from the begining of the story to any relationship that might be involved, and no matter what relationship, all multichaptered fictions I write will have a full plot, with build up and climax (not that kind!...well maybe) so be warned, if you want something short sweet and pointless, ignore my longer fics, and certainly don't email me to hurry it along.
Whargarble to all, and happy holidays. I have updated things, which hopefully people are still willing to read. Thank you to those who reviewed.
Story update time!!
I have a few one shots in the works for dear Z-chan and T-chan, and they will be around when my favorite Z/T author updates. :glares pointedly at the non-updated Nitojustu:

Artist Carrie Preston paints on pregnancy bumps. Crazy… but why not… it's beautiful.
Carrie Preston, an artist living in Cornwall England, has been painting adorable characters on the "belly bumps" of expectant mothers. Her creative artwork is a unique way to express the love of a mother to her unborn child. Something you don't see everyday. Yeah, it seems crazy, yet Cute and Beautiful!
The artist writes on her article at BoredPanda:
"I paint bumps! It may seem completely mad to some people, in fact some even go as far to describe it as vulgar. I personally see it as beautiful."
I couldn't agree more! In fact, as a father of three boys, I found it very fascinating and lovely! The pregnancy, the miracle of love, and the beautiful artwork — all as one is a wonder to behold! Simply Amazing!
Enjoy the photos!
All images courtesy of Carrie Preston, and are published with permission.
To see more of her work, please visit her website My Little Sweet-pea
and Facebook – My.Little.Sweetpea.Murals
Pregnancy is one of the most important times in a woman's life, I feel really honoured to be able to paint a beautiful picture or message onto a bump. I feel that it allows the mummy to express her feelings towards her unborn baby.
~ Carrie Preston

The Brewers have acquired right-hander Oliver Drake from the Orioles in exchange for a player to be named later or cash, the teams announced. This is the second swap between the two teams tonight, as Milwaukee shipped recently designated right-hander Damien Magnifico to the O's in exchange for an international bonus slot just minutes ago. The acquisition of Drake needn't be accompanied by a 40-man roster move in Milwaukee, because the Brewers also designated right-hander David Goforth for assignment within the past hour.
Drake, 30, was designated for assignment by the Orioles earlier this afternoon — a seemingly innocuous move at the time that set off this moderately dizzying sequence of transactions for the two clubs. In 37 Major League innings, Drake has a 3.89 ERA with 10.0 K/9, 4.6 BB/9 and a 50.5 percent ground-ball rate. Drake doesn't have minor league options remaining, so he'll have to be inserted directly into the Milwaukee bullpen. The Brewers could quickly try to run Drake through waivers once again themselves, thus allowing him to be optioned to Triple-A, though in doing so, they'd risk losing him to another club.

Welcome everyone to this week's edition of The Friday Five! For those of you who are unfamiliar with The Friday Five, this is a feature that I post every Friday in which I talk about a variety of topics related to basketball video games, the real NBA and other areas of interest, providing my thoughts as either a list of five items or presenting them in Top 5 countdown format.
Although basketball video games keep our community entertained with the features advertised on the back of the box, throughout the years several Easter Eggs have served to enhance the gaming experience, facilitate modding or simply give us a bit of a laugh when we discover them. As such, these are my picks for the Top 5 Easter Eggs in Basketball Video Games.
5. Familiar names for generated rookies
The addition of multiseason modes featuring the NBA Draft has led to the use of fictional, generated rookies in basketball video games. You should all be familiar with the concept: since real college players cannot be included in video games, in Dynasty and Association mode we scout a class of fictional players that the game generates each season (the custom Draft Class option in NBA 2K not withstanding).
Quite often, the results of the randomised names are rather humorous. I'm sure that everyone has encountered the likes of Dikembe Smith, Igor Jones or Michael Olajuwon at some point. However, you can also expect to see names from the development team in there; to throw out an NBA Live example, the surname Tschirner is in the game courtesy of Tim Tschirner, one of the NLSC's founders and later a developer on the series from NBA Live 2001 through NBA Live 07. Tim's face was also used for the 70s All-Stars coach in a few of the games during that span.
You can also expect to see some combinations of names that surely aren't coincidental. Generated players named Bill Cosby and Tupac Shakur – to toss out just a couple of examples – have been encountered by amused users over the years. It seems unlikely that names like that were simply a stroke of luck.
4. Fun stuff in the NBA Live 96 PC executable
Editing the early games in the NBA Live series was a task made much simpler thanks to the combined efforts of NLSC founders Tim Tschirner, Lutz van Hasselt and Brien Smith. With their editors, it was easy to modify just about anything in the game and even find some hidden stuff, such as the overall ratings. Yes, they've been around for that long.
However, sometimes it was necessary to go poking around in the executable file with a Hex Editor to change certain text strings. Because the site's policy forbid the distribution of the game executables (and still does; don't do it!), Tim, Lutz and Brien developed a utility called Patcher that could be used to automatically apply the necessary modifications to the end user's file.
So, what kind of stuff could you find while poking around in NBA96.exe? Quite a few unused text strings; to begin with, following the names of the five player positions is "Bench Warmer". The Kansas City Kings, San Diego Clippers, St. Louis Hawks, San Francisco Warriors, Minneapolis Lakers, Tricities Blackhawks and Utah Stars are present as teams that players can be listed as being drafted by. While most of those options were very outdated by the 1995/1996 season, Kansas City was included for Otis Thorpe while San Diego and Utah were in the game for Terry Cummings and Moses Malone respectively, both of whom were in NBA Live 95 PC but did not actually appear in NBA Live 96.
The most amusing Easter Egg in NBA Live 96 PC, however? In various places in the .exe file, teams are referred to by abbreviated names – pointers to art files, and so on – 5-7 characters in length. The Toronto Raptors' abbreviation is "craptor", which surely had to be an intentional dig by the Vancouver-based development team at EA Canada as a show of support for their new hometown expansion team, the Grizzlies. Of course, the Vancouver Grizzlies turned out to be pretty crappy themselves during that inaugural season.
3. Hidden players, real or otherwise, in various games
Several basketball games throughout the years have included hidden players in one form or another. NBA Live 2004 featured a handful of Class of 2003 rookies that were unlockable via a code. Similarly, the PlayStation version of NBA Live 2000 required codes to be entered to unlock all of the Legends. Celebrities and members of the development team have also been popular hidden unlockables, generally via entering codes on the Create-a-Player or Create-a-Team screens.
Some games are notorious for their hidden players. The NBA Jam series is arguably one big Easter Egg hunt in general, featuring games that are chock full of secrets and codes. Its penchant for hidden players is legendary, ranging from former NBA greats to mascots to development team members to celebrities and even politicians! In addition to seeing them randomly appear on CPU controlled opponents after defeating all the NBA teams (or as part of special challenges in more recent games), users could also take control of those hidden players through the use of codes.
The Super Nintendo version of NBA Live 96 is another interesting example. Released earlier than other versions of the game, NBA Live 96 on the SNES was missing the Class of 1995 rookies in addition to a couple of players that couldn't be included for legal reasons, such as Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley. No matter. Enter the names of Jordan, Barkley, Kevin Garnett and many others in Create-a-Player and the game will automatically fill in their attributes. A few retired legends such as Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and even Wilt Chamberlain were also "unlockable" via this method, along with several developers.
2. Leftover art, audio and other assets from previous games
Leftover files and data are Easter Eggs that our community has been able to make great use of throughout the years when developing updates for both NBA Live and NBA 2K. When players are removed from the game, art files such as faces have sometimes been left behind which makes adding them to custom rosters much easier, especially in the console versions which cannot utilise custom art files. Sometimes this includes hidden players from previous games; something of an Easter Egg within an Easter Egg!
It's not just art files, of course. The audio for certain players' names in the PA Announcer's speech files sometimes remains intact even after they've been removed from the game and can be reassigned after we've added them to a roster. Birth place and nickname data often remains in the databases from year to year. Occasionally, dummied out content has been accessible by swapping in compatible files from older games.
To say that these leftovers have been very useful would be a huge understatement and that's why they check in at second place in my Top 5. What could possibly top something of such significance to our patching community?
1. Historic teams in NBA Live 08 PC…sort of…
How about the remnants of a much desired feature that was ultimately cut from the game?
Poke around in the players.dbf file from NBA Live 08 (or any of the NBA Live 2005-07 NLSC roster updates that I've converted from the current roster for 08) and you'll find some complete championship teams, with their players assigned a Team ID that doesn't exist in teams.dbf. As soon as we discovered this back in 2007, we immediately dug further and found that there were no art files for those players (with the exception of the ones that do appear elsewhere in the game), nor any of the teams.
It would therefore appear that NBA Live 08 was meant to feature historical teams at some point but the idea never saw the light of day, presumably due to an inability to secure likeness rights for all the necessary players. This isn't surprising, seeing as how much of an achievement it was for 2K Sports to include historical teams in NBA 2K11, NBA 2K12 and NBA 2K13. Even then, they weren't included in their entirety and certain players have disappeared between games as the agreements regarding their likeness rights have expired. Such is the stumbling block when it comes to including historical content.
It's certainly interesting that EA Sports were apparently quite serious about getting historical teams into NBA Live 08 and one wonders how close they came to making it a reality before the idea was nixed, given the amount of players that were added to the database. EA has never addressed the issue and it's unlikely that they ever will, but it remains an interesting discovery and perhaps something that patchers can still take advantage of at some point.
That wraps things up for this week's Friday Five! I hope you enjoyed reading it and perhaps picked up a few interesting tidbits that you weren't previously aware of. Please let me know some of your favourite basketball video game Easter Eggs in the comments below and feel free to take the discussion to the NLSC Forum. I'll be back again next Friday with a new Five.
