The News and Courier again points out that proposals to invade State and local police powers from Washing ton are not only anti-Southern, but are tampering with 'the founda tions of the Republic of 48 States. When Congress convenes again in January, Sen. Humphrey’s sub committee of the Senate Commit tee on labor and public welfare will open hearings on alleged “ra cial discrimination.” These hear ings are connected with his FEPC bill. He has six other “civil rights” bills pending and a resolution to change the cloture rule by which Southerners have been able to hold off such legislation in the past by means of the filibuster. These hearings will provide prop aganda for the Fair Dealers in ap- ( pealing for the “Liberal” and the 8?„ v 5r? men * i Negro vote. The Truman adminis tration has tried to give the South erners the impression it does not support Sen. Humphrey in his haste to pass “civil rights” legislation and that he is working on his own. Southerners need pay no attention to disavowals of Sen. Humphrey. If he does not speak for Mr. Tru- | man, then he is speaking for the forces that dominate the ‘'Demo cratic Party” of today. In that case Mr. Truman is not a leader any way and should be disregarded. The “civil rights” legislation is a part of a movement that threat ens true liberty and local self-gov ernment under the disguise of pro tecting “minority groups.” Sen. Harry F. Byrd has said that taken together, “these seven bills set up a whole new pattern of justification for Federal- burea'ticratic , interven tion into the so-called civil rights which heretofore have been re served for determination by State law, local- ordinance, and individual custom.” Southern "Democrats” who string along with the Truman-Humphrey party, who smear those who object to wrecking our liberties with jeers of “Dixiecrat” and “Republican”, are counterparts of the scalawags when the South lay prostrate. These “Dpmocrats” cannot shake off Mr. Humphrey and his partisans. He is a cornerstone in the Truman party and goes with it in 1952. No longer is the South prosrtate. It holds the balance of power in the next elec tion and it can save the Republic by its votes. —The News and Courier.

THE HfflOHAl SCENE Special to The Chronicle. Washington, Nov. 26. — For the first time since the lobby-reporting act was passed in 1946, lobby spend ing in congress dropped during the j first six months ot this year to the tune of approximately a million dol lars, according to a survey by Con gressional Quarterly, a non-partisan congressional reporting service. The survey reveals that for th* first six months lobbyists listed with the clerk jof the house of representa tives $4,2M.300, January through June as compared to $5,272,739 in the same period in 1950 The survey indicated, however, that some organ- jlxations are using a different tech nique In reporting, some are report ing late and that some of the late reports have not been made public. According to the survey, biggest spender in the period named was the American Farm Bureau Federa tion with $412,(12, with the second biggest the American Medical Asso ciation with $268,234 for legislative activity. Farm Bureau said its listed outlay was a total for all purposes and that lobbying accounted for a small percentage of that amount. Five other groups reported total ex penditures in excess of $100,000 in cluding the National Association of Electric Companies, $221,470; Com mittee for Constitutional Govern- Jment $188,691 (first quarter only); j National Association for Advance ment of Colored People, $184,794; Association of American Railroads, i $127,642, and the Trucking Industry ' for National Defense Committee, $115,448 (second quarter only). American Farm Bureau Federa- 8 tiontion reported receiving $600,-;» 1373.16, spending $415,812.96, and! 8 i said that in the opinion pf its offi- I cers only a small percentage of the listed income and disbursements could be charged to lobbying ac tivities. Accoring to the report, in- I come is used to pay salaries of all | personnel of offices in Chicago and Washington as well as rent and other expenses. AFBF collections comprise income from state organ izations for membership dues (at 75 cents per individual farm fam ily) totalling $580,134. This would give the Farm Bureau a paid up membership of 773,512. Eight Farm Bureau Federation officers submitted individual re ports listing t£eir legislative in terests as well Tas their half-year salaries with a combined total of $36,725, as follows: President Allan B. Kline, $10,000; Roger W. Flem ing, secretary - treasurer, $6,300; John C. Lynn, associate directors of the Washington office and Gwynn Garnett, acting director of the department of international af fairs, each $4,250; Joe Betts, asso ciate director of information $3,- 625 and Hugh F. Hall, assistant legislative director $3,575. In the meantime, Herschel D. Newsom, master of the National Grange told the 85th annual ses sion of grange delegates from 37 states, that farmers should work toward a three-point program in the next congress to (1) more ef fectively serve the interests of the entire nation; (2) eliminate those economic protectives which unduly raise the cost of production; and (3) improve marketing practices to obtain the maximum of efficiency 1 in quality and distribution of farm products. Newsom warned that the natioq faced a continuing decline of the buying power of the dollar “unless we have the courage to tneet inflation honestly through private and governmental economy, taxes and voluntary savings.” Newsom said one reason why BIG TREASURE HUNT!
