EDITORIAL COMMENT
CLINTON. S. C., THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 1952
MR. RUSSELL AND FAIR DEAL
After a half-hour conference
with President Truman, Sen. Rich
ard B. Russell conceded that poli
tics had been discussed. He also
1 said he considered Mr. Truman’s
' speech to Congress on the steel
seizure to be “a very temperate and
factual statement.” Sen. Russell
i himself favors government seizure
' of the steel industry.
1 The President’s speech to Con-
! gress was temperate. However,
' since he neglected to mention the
; union shop issue—which is the real
; bone of contention—it scarcely can
; be considered factual.
Southern Democrats, merging
forces with conservative Republi-
| cans, prevented the Senate from
surrendering to Mr. Truman. Once
again, it was the coalition of
Southerners and Republicans
which saved the country from an
other step toward socialism. The
coalition was led by Sen. Byrd of
Virginia.
i Sen. Russell already has indicat-
j ed that he is ready to compromise
i on FEPC and civil rights if by so
Alarming Figures
This day of unprecedented spend-
is, also.one,'pi statistics that tno
for these farmers by their local
conservation district. They were
imported from the Orient. Kudzu
does not proluce seed to any ex
tent in this country.
The usual way to establish kud
zu is to set out crowns or plants.
The direct seeding method seems
to have several advantages over
the old way, some of which stre:
(1) it is cheaper; two pounds of
seed will plant an acre; (2) plant
ing operation does not require as
much labor; (3) a complete stand
can be established quicker, usual
ly in one or two years.
There are 33,123 idle acres in
Laurens county so says the last
census report. It is estimated that
this loafing land cost the farmers
$15,899 in taxes each year.
These acres do not produce food,
feed or income. But worse than
not producing they are eroding
and their futigre productivity is
being impaired.
Like people, land is different,
but all land is suitable for some
thing. Kudzu, sericea, fescue,
trees, uther perament crops se
lected to fit the capability of this
loafing land and put it to produc
tive work.
Between May 16 and October 2,
1946, cows grazing kudzu at the

Know Their Records
The line is now clearly drawn . s
lo the Republican candidate for the
presidency. It will be either Gen.
Jaisenhower or Senator Taft. This
newspaper believes Taft is the ablest
man oft the two, in fact of the entire
rleld now mentioned in connection
.with this nomination and election
which will be the 'most important the
peopie have ever faced. The Ameri
can oeople know where Taft stands,
there is no evading or dodging of any
issue. He stands uncompromisingly
opposed to what Truman stands for.
Eisenhower to our mind, is too close
lo the present administration and a
vote for him is a vote to a large ex-
lent for what Truman stands for and
bandwagon chasers. The prospective
candidates we say should be put on
the spot. Each should be required to
define, without equivocation, his
concepts of the President’s rights, the
rights of Congress, the rights of the
several states, and above all the in
herent right of the individual citizen
under our long cherished form of
government now abused and kicked
about so that it is not recognizable
in many respects.
All who seek the presidency should
be put on the record. This fight is
Trumanism vs. anti-Trumanism. If
President Truman is influenced by
powerful political machines he con
trols to allow his hat to go in the
ring again—there is no need for a
refreshing of his record. It is too well
known and is a sad story of a little
man in a big job. But regardless of
party label, we had better know
come November who, and for what,
we are voting.
