===Political Drift=== In ''F.D.R.'' (p. 184-6) he explains that it was when he left the Pentagon and went to live in Texas in 1946 then he started becoming more conservative. Previously believing that many of F.D.R.'s policies were his own or those of the Democratic group to benefit this country, he later came to believe that F.D.R. and others were acting under orders of a secret "internationalist", large-money group whose aim was to control the world.

"Heading the local Thurmond-Wright adherents is a former son-in-law of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Curtis Dall. He was nominated permanent chairman by Clyde Wantland, Alamo Heights publisher, at an organization meeting Monday afternoon at the St. Anthony hotel. "The meeting was attended by about 50 persons who listened intently while Truman Democrats were labeled 'loyalists' and chaos was predicted for the future unless states rights won over civil rights. "Main speaker was Roy Sanderford, Belton, a former state senator. He was introduced by John T. Spann, who organized the meeting. "Spann sounded the keynote with a blast at the 'loyalists' who killed little pigs and sold the country to certain un-American elements. "In condemning the civil rights program, Spann referred to it as the 'Bill of Rights' but his slip of the tongue was not noticed by his enthusiastic listeners. He said: 'The Bill of Rights and the FEPC are the most pernicious bills in history.' "Randle Taylor nominated Tom King temporary chairman of the meeting. "Dall, in accepting the unanimous vote as permanent chairman, said there was too much federal control and the 'influences back of it were un-American.' He said he wanted to leave just one thought with the crowd and that thought was: 'Who writes Mr. Truman's speeches?' "Dall did not answer his question. Truman, he said was in the grip of 'certain sinister forces.' "Sanderford said un-Americanism had infiltrated the Truman administration, adding: 'The civil rights bill was cooked up by a bunch of northern industrialists, northern labor racketeers, and northern New Deal pinko professors and Truman, in his stupidity, could see only politics.' "He predicted chaos would result from attempts to 'effect social equality.' "Sanderford defined loyalists as 'yellow dog Democrats' leading the nation to destruction. They were both 'stupid of mind and evil of heart.' Said he: 'Socialism, totalitarianism and a police state is the result of the Truman program.' "Wantland moved adoption of the states rights program and support of the Thurmond-Wright ticket and it was voted without opposition. "At the conclusion of the meeting a white-haired little lady moved to the front of the room and placed a $5 bill on the table. She said 'I'm in this to stay.'

He said a wide area was represented by about 100. A resolution outlining this plan was adopted. "The resolution declared that the States' Rights party came into being to save 'constitutional government and liberty in America' and expressed the determination to continue this fight until this is attained. "Dall said that when Truman is defeated in the November election and Henry Wallace makes his bid to capture the remnents of the Democratic party, the States' Righters will be out there to meet him and defeat his endeavor. "Dall said that Gov. J. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, the party's candidate for President, will make a patriotic address Saturday at the Alamo, following the breakfast at the Menger Hotel."
