ore qepe Lammas Fe Sf Dee a adaun thing to back it up but a debt of three hundred and fifty billion dollars. I believe that any man who should give a check without having a bank-account would be no more guilly than the Federal Government dishing out a lot of paper that is not backed up by anything but the gold that is in other countries. This country has been shipping all of the paper over to these other countries, and these other countries have been taking all of our gold. I doubt very seriously whether there is any gold left in this country; there is supposed to be billions but I would have to see it to believe it. BY MR. ROGERS: Q—Mr. Cobb, there are one or two other things I want to ask you before we close, What is your title in the Robert E. Lee Patriots? A~—-I am the head of the Robert E. Lee Patriots. Q—Are you the President? A—I am the President of the Robert E. Lee Patroits. Q—Is that organization incorporated, or is it an unincorporated association? A—Well, it was not incorporated, but it’s in the process now with Mr. Wade Martin (Secretary of State) in Baton Rouge. I was President of the “Dixiecrats Democratic Association of Louisiana,” so we changed it to the Robert E, Lee Patriots because we are ushamed to be Democrats when you have got such Democrats as Johnson, Humphrey, and the other scavengers running this country. Q—How is your board of officers that decide your policy chosen? Are they elected from the membership, or how are they picked? A-—They are accepted by the people, if anybody doesn’t like them they get up and say it. We have little elections, but we don’t have any trouble. We are looking for leadership to lead us out of the valley of death which is the valley of Communism that we are in. Q—aAre they appointed by the leaders of the chapters? A—No, sir, they are accepted by the group, and if anybody wants to oppose them, they do, but they are all good conscientious men who submit to leadership when in certain cases some people don't have the qualifications of bringing things about. One of our motives is to instruct the people of this city, this state, and country, 80 wherever we can, as to the fact that they are dying with a They have a “don’t give a damn attitude.” The government is to throw fear into the hearts of the people that if you fight Luther King, or the Communists, or if you fight back at the Ne then the Federal Government is going to eat you alive, that v4 going to be destroyed, persecuted, and everything else, Well, ally, they can do what the “hell they want with me, and the drink my blood, but the people that belong to my outfit are myself, and don’t give a continental damn. We stand for a pri and we will die for it, wee ee WITNESS EXCUSED.
