The lines of ,battle are clearly dpa\yn. There is no mid DON’T WATT TOO LONG! er legislation we pan conceive of can outlawground.

And it is [hoped that the universality of Negro suffrage will be aided rather than impeded by the action of Con gress. What is to happen in the strained area of race relations is in the hands of the Ne groes themselves—at least equally with the whites. Commenting editorially, the Texarkana Gazette hails the formation of a new r Negro organization in Alabama as “a breath of fresh air in the hostile atmosphere,”, and says: "Appropriately, this new movement to ward sanity is being organized by a group of Southern Negroes who can remember when there was harmony and good will between the races in the South. This w w as, of course, before Northern political opportunists, dema gogues, NAACP agitators and others who found it expedient to play upon the passions and prejudices of minorities to win votes and gain power. v “This new group is being formed in Mont gomery.

The incumbent, Senator Clifford Case, darling of the Americans for Democratic Action, has been a consistent advocate of government paternalism, big spending and pie-in-the-sky. By testimony of his own vot ing record, he would have increased Admin istration spending recommendations by $20 billion. The challenger, Robert Morris, first came to national fame as chief counsel to the Sen ate Internal Security Subcommittee in di recting its probe of the world-wide Commu nist conspiracy. Throughout his career he has been an outspoken and merciless foe of “liberal” spending sprees and as firmly op posed to all inflationary Government fiscal nostrums, to our present excessive taxation and to non-essential, non-defense prodigality.

Furthemiore, this required under the Constitution. We pointed out that if members otf those so-called ‘ independent'’ agencies are to exercise judicial powers granted them by Congress they should be subject to the same rules as judges in an established court of law. This view was re-emphasized re cently when Louis J. Hector resign- trend has had the unhappy effect of relegat ing more and more of the right wing to back seats in the party. If the energetic and highly-qualified Rob ert Morris can upset the profligate Clifford Case on April 19, the New Jersey primary may well go down in the hisfop - books as a pivotal event, not only in the resurrection of Republicanism but in America’s future. Babson Discusses Trees As An Investment CHICKENS Callus Banjuva, that’s the scien tific name for chickens. They fas cinate me. Since evolving from the wild jun gle fowl of India, they have follow ed man through the ages. Improved some all along, but m our time it has been phenomenal. Just 20 years ago it took 12 lbs. of feed and 14 to 16 weeks of time to produce a 3-pound broiler. Now it is done in 8 weeks wRh about 6 pounds of feed! If an 8-pouna oaby grew as rap idly as a modern chick it would weight 275 pounds at 2 months of age. And a 70-pound calf would weigh 2,400 pounds in two months. If an average hen laying 180 eggs in a year has 80 per cent of them to hatch, her broiler offspring will yield 430 pounds of broilers in a year. The chicken, surely a wonderful addition to a man’s assurance that he can continue to eat well from this earth! And its improvement is not finished yet. Efficiency ip breeding, management, and in feeds is now aiming at a pound of chicken for a pound of feed. And I under stand that has been gotten experi mentally.

Each fall we went hunting for it. It grew everywhere in old abandoned fields. But it was highest and best in a field that had not been turned out long. There the stand was not so thick and better quality straw resulted. We would wring it off near the ground. I can remember -getting blisters on my hand from that operation. But they wouldn’t show up until we had got ten a pretty good bundle of sraw. We’d tie it in a large sheaf, throw it across our back, and strike out home. It was hung from the rafters of the smokehouse, away from rats, that would otherwise nest in it and damage it. We made up the brooms as need ed. We’d clean the straw by strip ping off the blades near the base by running them through the prongs of a fork.

Said good straw was harder to find, as ok) fields are be- ing put into trees and grass now, and few new ones are being turned out. But, she said, she guessed the straw would last as long as she would, laughed, and walked on.

Buckley, Jr. Mr. Buckley will be remembered as the author of “God and Man at Yale.” “Up From Liberal ism” published by McDowell-OboIensky, Inc., does a magnificent job of showing so-called “modern" liberalism for what it really is—a fraudulent assault on the basic principle of individualism and self - government. Mr. Buckley writes, “I think it is fair to conclude that American liberals are reluctant to co exist with anyone on their Right. They talk about a continuing hearing for all ideas. But close observation of the liberal-in-debate gives the impression that he has given con servatism a terminal audience. When a con servative speaks up demandingly he runs the gravest risk of triggering the liberal mania; then before you know it the ideologist of open-mindeness and toleration is hurtling to ward you lance-cocked.” In short, “Up From Liberalism” reveals the hyprocrisy of many present-dat self- styled liberals who seek to say what Amer icans read, how their schools shall be run, and how the incomes of free men shall be spent. trees about five feet high at a cost of about $12.00 each I like to get them in March before the new buds come out. and set them out on my grounds I believe of the testimony. they are the best investment I could make for my KANGAROO COURT grandchildren.

Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia Many conservatives feel that there is little chance of establishing a third party that would be devoted to the principles they cherish, but development of a real workng coali tion with control of the House would be a major stop forward. It would provide the lower house with a de facto conservative party. If the co alition could obtain control in the next session it would mean that con servative Southerners with seniority would continue to hold important committee posts, while senior Nor thern ‘‘liberals’’ would be replaced with Conservative Republicans. Conservative Southern Democrats sometimes overlook the good conser vative allies that they have north of the Meson-Dixon fine. Some of the ablest fighters against Amercian socialism represent Northern constituents. One such Northern conservative, for instance, is Representative Ed ward J. DerwinakR (R-Dl.) who re cently wns named one of Chicago’s ten most outstanding young men in a poll sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. Speaking in Washington March 5, Representative Derwinski said: “I am a firm advocate of states rights " He declared that "govern ment by its very nature is costly. The larger a unit of government be comes, the more waste it develops. The more powerful government be comes .the smellier an individual be- comse We find a slow and steady loss of individual rights, because of the huge operation called govern ment ’’ Congressman Derwinski also not ed that "the vigorous proponents of federal participation seldom have the political courage to point out to the taxpayers the costs they'll have ot bear.” He added that "they preach this all-things-to-aB-people philosophy, where they literally try to buy special interest groups across the country, pointing out the bene fits to each group of some govern ment program, but without telling them at the same ime that these same groups will also help pay for $e project.” These fine statements by Repre sentative Derwinski make plain that there is one brand of conservatism, indeed of good Americanism, that unites right thinking citizens in aO parts of the country. There are plenty of good people in Illinois— and elsewhere—who are deeply con cerned about the inroads has made in America. > While the South is a stronghold of conservatism, it is by no means the only remaining center of that phil osophy If ttut were tho case, the nation would be in a bad way.
