The Same Truman In Presidenrt Truman’s recent ad- t dress he placed emphasis on the na tion’s defense program and bad very little to say atoout his “P4ir Deal" socialistic measures for which he has stubbornly fbu^ht. Immediately there were comments Itvm writers, commerttators and ( others, that the President had ap plied the ‘soft i>e>dal” and it was predicted by some that he was aban doning his ‘Tair Deal", the former Roosevelt "New Deal," one as bad as the other—in oJ*d$r to secure a unit-* ed support for th? proposed defense poegrams. We did not believe it at the time, .and already the guessers have been proven wrong. The President him self when pressed a few days ago by i reporters on some of the (hewn ob- Mwations replied that his adminis tration has no Intention of abandon ing any of the principles of his pro gram. We stand behind the “Fair Deal” and the Democratic (so-called) platform as much today as ever be fore, he said. Ibis means that the President stands right where he has always Stood on his spending program, only he has put it before the people in a 'dfcguieed form in his budget message to Congress oading for seventy^-one relief in 1 state durin: 2 the four yoars he held re ; office. He made an excellent impres sion for the state when he went seek ing new industries, and convinced outside capital that here was a man heading a state government who was honest, efficient and fair. There are many reforms he recommended that were put into effect that will be of lasting benefit, but it is not necessary to go into a lengthy account of his accomplishments. There are other badly needed reforms he was unable to get through the general assembly due to the strong Barnwell influence, aided by others who belong to that so-called “ring.” He had enemies in the legislature, especially from the Johnston supporters, but he stood his ground and fought for what he be lieved to be right as a courageous man, a leader and servant, a man* who had convictions and fearlessly stood by them. Especially would we mention and commend Governor Thurmond’s ac tion in' putting an end to the dis graceful pardon and parole racket which had flourished under the ad ministration of several of hb pred ecessors. It is to hb everlasting cred it that the unlimited clemency pow er has been taken away from the gov ernor’s office by a constitutional amendment. Not a pardon or parole has been granted during his term of office except on recommendation of the Probation, Parole jnd Pardon Board. And at the same time an end was put to the common practice of some of those who preceded him in office of granting “back door” leaves of absence* for week-ends or indefinite periods without being put on record. Hb record we say on ex ecutive clemency has been spotless, and largely through hb ettbrts the ...are now in...
