SMALL BUSINESS
By C. WILSON HARDER
You can expect the newly cre-
t ated permanent Senate Small
Business Committee to start
launching headline making in
vestigations soon.
*-* *
There may even be another
intra-government battle brewing.
* * *
Under the Defense Production
Act of 1950, the Department of
Commerce is authorized to set
up allocations and priorities on
scarce materials and goods.
* * *
Almost as soon as the measure
was passed. Washington observ
ers noted the return of the mo
nopoly representatives. It is pre
sumed they are in Washington,
as they were in pre-OPA days,
to influence drafting of these
regulations.
* * *
However, the Wherry Amend
ment, which became a part of
this law, provides that all busi
ness receive a fair pro-rata share
of supplies.
* •
However, enforcement will de
pend on complaints being re
ceived and acted upon. Senate
Small Business Committee mem
bers have already expressed their
intention of investigating all
complaints of discrimination.
And complaints have already
been reported.
* * *
One powerful motive for mak
ing the present safeguard! work
is the general reluctance to set
up another OPA which would be
the only other alternative.
* * *
Nobody wants to introduce a
tax bill to provide the money to
run another OPA.
* * *
In addition, there is another
compelling reason.
* * •
Many responsible people are de
manding that government inter
ference in business be decreased,
not increased. Not many more
steps can be taken, it is argned,
before the nation wlU be so
cialised.
This fact, just brought to light,
is causing a lot of discussion in
Washington. Expect to hear
more about it
OOO
Immediately following the Ko
rean outbreak, the Defense De
partment employed 263,978 more,
civilians, adding to an already
existing staff of 738,799.
ooo
No one, least of all Congress
men. seems to have any idea of
what a million civilian employ
ees are doing.
ooo
Even the estimated 200 press
agents included in this group have
not released any information on
this interesting question.
ooo
The revived fight on increasing
the excess profits tax to finance
defense expenditures was forced
into the open by public protest. **
-•o- OOO
Senator George has been op
posing an action on the grounds
that nothing can be done until
hearings are held.
ooo
. This argument has not been too
popular, except with those who
would pay an excess profits tax.
ooo
“Since when,” it has been ask
ed, “has it ever been felt neces
sary to hold public hearings In
an increase in personal income
taxes?”
ooo
The first round of government
conducted clinics on small busi
ness defense work has been con
cluded. *
ooo
The Senate Small Business
Committee which sponsored these
meetings is getting reports and
recommendations for future pro
ceedings.
ooo
Attendance by independent
manufacturers was heavy. An
impressive array of officials has
conducted the meetings.
o o *o
But the reports indicate too
little specific information was
given; too much time waa de
voted to giving speeches.

Reducing Crop Pest
Domog By Meons
Of Crop Rotation
Clemson, Oct. 18—That rotation of
crops is one means for reducing crop
pes; damage is .4iown in the answers
to questions on this subject as pre
pared by specialists of the Clemson
Insect and Plant Disease Extension
Work The questions and answers
follow. /
Q. How important is crop rota
tion as a means of reducing pest dam
age?
A. Rotation is one means of reduc
ing pest damage. Other means are
use of chemicals, use of resistant va
rieties, disposal of crop remnasts, and
control of planting dates.
Q How does rotation tend to con
trol crop pests?
A It is common knowledge that
if the same crop is grown on land
continuously, there is a build-up of
pests. If some other crop is planted
on the land, there is a man-made
shortage of food and the pests must
either starve or move on to other
fields.
Q. Then, rotation is not equally
effective against all crop pests?
A. Some of the pests move readily
from field to field and these cannot
be controlled by rotation.
Q. Are there other advantages of
rotation?
A In addition to controlling cer
tain insects and diseases, rotation is
also effective against weeds especial
ly if cultivated crops are in the rota
tion. It also aids in building up and
conserving soil.
Q. Is it possible to recommend any
one rotation which would suit all
conditions?
A. It is difficult to give a “shot
gun" remedy for all situations. Many
factors must be considered. Certain
general plans and specific cases with
regard to pests of crops may be cit
ed. The individual farmer must use
his own judgment but the county
agent and other agricultural workers
are always glad to give specific ad- 1
vice for use under local conditions.
Q. On what crops is rotation of
special value?
A. Com, cotton, tobacco, small
grains, and truck crops.
Q. What are some of the situa
tions in which rotation now appears
especially worthwhile?
A. Ascochyta blight of cotton has
been serious in the Piedmont. Bill-
bugs of corn have spread. Certain
soil-borne tobacco and small grain
diseases are now present. All these
problems and others tend to focus
attention on crop rotation.
Q. When is one of the best times
of the year to consider rotation?
A. Any time of the year is good
but the fall season is especially
timely as small grains are the key
on general farms to good rotation.
New York, Oct. 16—Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower today thanked Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey for suggesting him
as a 1952 presidential candidate, but
Indicated that he hasn’t changed his
mind about staying out of politics.
The General, who repeatedly has
expressed determination not to run
for public ffice, said his convictions
about how he can best serve the
cause of freedom” have not changed.
His position as president of Co
lumbia University, he said, offers
him “rich opportunities for serving."
However, two New York newspa
pers quoted sources close to Elsen
hower as saying the General would
submit to a draft for the GOP nom
ination. The sources were not iden
tified.
Eisenhower’s statement came after
Dewey, titular head of the Republi
can Party, said he favored the war
time Allied supreme commander as
the OOP's presidential nominee two
years hence. Eisenhower said in a
prepared statement:
“Any American would be compli
mented by the knowledge that any
other American considered him qual
ified to fill the most important post
in our country. In this case, the
empliment comes from a man who is
governor of a great state and who
has devoted many years of his life
t public service. So, of course, I am
grateful for Governor Dewey’s good
opinion of me.
“As for myself, my convictions as
to the place and methods through
whch J can best contribute some
thing to the cause of freedom have
been often expressed. They have not
changed. Here at Columbia Univer
sity, I have a task that would excite
the pride and challenge the qualifi
cations and strength of any man. I
still believe that it offers to such an
individual as myself rich opportun
ities for serving.”
The New York World-Telegram
and the Sun said General Eisenhow
er is “definitely a candidate for the
presidency in 1962. He will submit
to a draft for the Republican nom
ination. But he won't say so for some
time.
“This was the report of an inti
mate friend who spoke to the Gen
eral this morning.”
The New York Journal-American
[quoted ‘a source close to the Gen
eral.”'The newspaper said:
“While Eisenhower will not life a
finger to help any move for the Re
publican nomination, th% sourse con
tinued, if drafted the General will
accept out of a deep sense of duty.”
SIX-INCH SERMON
By Rev. Robert H. Harper
GROWING THROUGH PRAYER.
Lesson for October 22: Matthew 6:
9-13; Luke 11: 9^13; Philippians 1:
3-11.
Memory Selections: Luke 11:9.
Given in answer to the disciples’
request to be taught how to pray, the
Lord’s prayer is a model that covers
all men’s needs. It begins with praise
to God and commitment to his will
and his kingdom. It would be use
less to pray without the petition:
“Thy will be done."
With the prayer for daily needs,
there is the petition to be delivered
from tempation, and to be able to
forgive. A man cannot pray for for
giveness with the hope of an answer
if he refused to forgive those who
wrong him.
Jesus urged men to pray with con
fidence in the Father’s love. From
earthly fathers we may learn of God’s
readiness to give good things to those
that ask him. Above all, he will give
the Holy Spirit to those that seek
such a blessing.
In Philippians 1: 3-11 there is an
example of praying for others. Paul
called God to witness that he yearn
ed over the Philippians in heart and
remembered them in prayer that they
might grow in grace, in service, and
in the assurance of the verities of
their faith, to the end that they, might
have the fruits of righteousness to
the glory of God.
Let us pray daily that we may
grow in the power to pray; live by
the Christ dwelling in us, and serve
ourselves the best by serving the
Lord, and praying for and serving
our fellows.

t v r p g f n c r o,
Loose and narrow in silhouette, of
a fabric that is exciting to the eye,
and wondrous to the touch, this isj
your coat for Fall 1950.
The narrower look of your new
Fall coat will begin at your should
ers and continue straight and slim to
the hemline where it will gain lux
urious fulness. It will be yours in a
suede surfaced wool, a soft fleece orj
a tweed, colorfully checked for town
or county wear.
' Reversible Return
Returning to fashion favor this
Fall of 1950 is the reversible coat.
This season it boasts a double-face
fabric or two contrasting fabrics so
it can easily be reversed from a solid
tope to a plaid; a plaid to a solid tone
or from a wool to a velvet.
The fur-lined topper carries its
popularity along from last season.
It’s wise economics to have it made
especially for you from one of your
old fur coats. Or select one lined
with the new' dyed furs, such as navy
or mink-shaded muskrat. You’ll like
it best with unmounted sleeves that
can be pushed-up and with a slim
companion skirt.
Fall Dusters ,
Other important coat highlights for
Fall ’50 include the all-velvet dus
ter and cocktail coat, the classic
Chesterfield complete with velvet
faced collar and the fur-trimmed
coat adorned with an over-size
ghawl collar.
