C, Thursday, May 4, 1950 Number 18 1 ANNOUNCES FOR U.S. SENATE ON STATES RIGHTS PLATFORM IN JULY PRIMARY Columbia, April 29—Governor J. Strom Thurmond’s long-expected an nouncement that he is a candidate for the U. S. senate was made Sat urday. A “I will be a caiftlidate for nomina tion to the U. S. senate by the Dem ocratic party of South Carolina in the July 11 primary,” Thurmond said. “I subscribe to the principles of the Democratic party of South Car olina as enunciated in the state Dem ocratic conventions in 1948 and 1950 and shall abide by the rules of the party.” U. S. Senator Olin D. Johnston, of Spartanburg, already has filed for re-nomination to a second six-year term. Thurmond has been regarded as a .certain candidate for many months, but he consistently refused to confirm or deny the rumors. The party “principles” to which Thurmond referred included . harsh criticism of the national Democratic administration and President Tru man’s civil rights proposals. These were major planks in the States Rights Democratic platform •on which Thurmond ran for presi- f R * • LESTER BATES says: The People WANT: Government that is clean and forth right; Government that is wholesome and businesslike; - Government that is economical and efficient; ___ A business man at the head of their State. • The People DO NOT WANT: Waste and inefficiency in Government; Greed and political intrigue; Increased tax burden on the people; Government by the professional politicians.

The 47-year-old governor is a na tive of Edgefield county. He has been county and city attorney at Edge- field, a public school teacher, county superintendent of education, state senator, circuit judge, and an army officer in Europe during World War n. His formal announcement took slaps at the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and Federal Judge J. Waties Waring, of Charleston, who was not mention ed by name. “Every outside influence that hates and seeks to destroy our way of life in South Carolina will attempt by every means possible, whether by slush funds, or propaganda, or ab sentee control of bloc votes, to dom inate this election,’’ Thurmond pre dicted. This will be done, he said, “in order to make it appear to the nation that our people have repudiated the courageous stand that our state took for state sovereignty in 1948. farm income and a drop of about 11 per cent in industrial expansion. • The report shows deaths and re tirements in the labor force of al most a million a year. The new an nual replacements in the labor force amounts to about 1.7 million, so we are annually creating something less than a million vacancies in employ ment each year. The report says that industrial expansion is not keeping pace with the labor force and that although we do have a tremendous employment, higher than at any time in history, the population increase is running ahead of industrial expan- ■ sion. The recent speech cxf Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York, twice the .GOP presidential standard bearer, I urging members of his party to re member in considering foreign pol icy that we are all in the same boat and to quit rocking, is having reper- (cussions here. He pointed out that i the present GOP policy in Washing ton seems to be to cause the admin istration all the embarrassment pos sible on foreign poltcy regardless of ed a new senate select committee oa consequences. On this point Cover- sma ^ business, none of whom wera nor Dewey said: ‘Before any Republican rejoices at the possible shipwreck of the foreign policy of the Democratic administration, he should remember that we are all in the same boat.” Vice-President Barkley has nam-. on previous small business commit tees.

I will depend on the support of the good people of this state who take orders only from their heart and conscience. “If honored with a seat in the sen ate,” Thurmond promised, “I will not be one kind of Democrat in Wash ington and another kind of Demo crat in South Carolina. “I will present my views frankly and completely,” he said. “I will sail under no false colors.

As Wasliington Sees it . ME NATIOML SCENE Special to The Chronicle. Washington, May 3—Although backed by bi-partisan support of senators from far west and north western states, the senate whittled away this past week at the impor tant omnibus waterways measure, which includes the Columbia river basin projects. Th< whittling was done, not by de creasing expenditures, but by knock ing down amendments prepared and offered by the senate interior com mittee of which Senator Joseph O’ Mahoney of Wyoming is chairman. As a matter of fact, the bill as it now stands in the senate contains public works which would total about $1,- 840,000,000. It also appears as though the Pres ident’s special message to the con gress urging that they take hold of the agricultural problem and make basic and long-range improvements, instead of make-shift and patchwork will also go by the boards. A five man senate agricultural sub-commit- tae, headed by Sen. Allen Ellender of Louisiana, recommended a dres- tic set of controls over both planting and marketing of potatoes as eligi bility for price controls. Sen. Spessard Holland of Florida, a lone hold-out, suggested that the! country’s potato growers might be wise to do without government price suppo^s. Voting with Ellender for the drastic controls were Lucas of Illinois, Thye of Minnesota and Aik en of Vermont. In approving the new restrictions on potatoes, the sub-com mittee rejected a trial run of the Brannan plan for the potato crop. On top of the President’s agricul tural message to congress, comes the monthly report of the President's council of economic advisors, and this group paints a rosy and optimis tic view of the immediate future with the exception pf the agricultural pic ture and a drop in industrial expan sion. The report shows a general up swing in nearly all segments of the economy with stock prices higher than dt any time since the 1948 peak; with corporation profits at an annual rate of $30,500,000,000, which is up a billion over the last three months of 1949, with new gains in home build ing, industrial output and national in come. Output, for e^imple, has risen to an annual rate of $258,000,000,000, a jump of about $3,000,000,000 over ,the closing period a year ago, and income has increased more than a billion dollars to an annual rate of $220,300,000,000.
