MEMBER: SOUTH CAROUNA PRESS ASSOCIATION NATIONAL EDITORIAL ASSOC I AT I ON National Advertising Representative AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION New York Chicago Detroit Philadelphia CLINTON, S. C., THURSDAY, JULY 24. 1952 free workers in all lines of indus tries, business, farming and gov ernment. Once they ‘‘get the ball rolling” they can probably accom plish this This they accomplished in England and in five years time destroyed the economy of that na tion and impoverished its people. Haven’t we enough danerous ex ternal troubles without being threatened with economic destruc tion at the hands of a few men whose power over the rest of us has reached alarming proportions? There are ways to contain the selfish plans of these labor leaders. The Taft-Hartley law checked them to some extent, but if it is not invoked by the President, of what use is it? If that law were in- voked > in the present steel strike the workers would have the right to vote upon whether or not to con tinue that destructive stoppage. Our bet is that the vote would be overwhelmingly to go back to work. The men don't want a union shop, and they do want their wages to support their families and the chance to work and help our men in Korea whose position is going to be seriously endangered if the strike continues. We say again we are at the cross-roads. 1 II I £ :: ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ :: li li H i.t li They Are All Fair Dealers have found from bitter experience 1 that they must completely control! alcohol, and that their organization ; stands ready to give assistance to those who sincerely seek such help. AA members have long since dis covered that they will best help themselves by helping others. An! organization with the laudable pur-i pose of helping save men and women from the alarming drink ing cycle deserves the sympathy Senator Russell of Georgia, seek ing the Democratic presidential ncmmat;on at the steam-rolling convention now in session in Chi- cage. has faded out of the picture. In lact. following the rows and caucuses, his name may not be placed in nomination. The convention, as expected, is being run by a combination of 'iNcrthern, and Fair Deal Democrats led by such men as Moody, ~ Hum - phreys. Roosevelt and others, who are lighting desperately to control j the nomination and to be sure that , 'I rumamsm in office is perpetuated. ’ Senator Russell has left no doubt that he is a Fair Dealer—a cham pion in many respects of the prin-1 ciples of Roosevelt and Truman.,®^ automobile they dtove He has agreed to a compromise on ^ as ^’ n S since gone, civil rights, has attacked the Taft-1 Hartley Act .in a bid for labor and I Truman support, and in a television interview declared he knew no reason w hy he should not support the Fa.r Deal He has been a bu^ disappointment to many who had ■-.ed lus name with Wilson.

Senator Byrd's Victory - It was good news to the Ameri can people last week bo learn that Senator Harry F.

The incumbent in his campaign made slashing, attacks on President Tru man and Fair Deal socialism of the past six years. The people en dorsed “his never-ceasing stand. Certainly it was no machine vic tory, but rather a personal victory for a man the people of his state! believe in and trust his honesty, ability and integrity. President Truman some time ago in attacking Senator Byrd said one of the great troubles with the senate was too many “Harry Byrds." Millions of •American vot ers leel that the great trouble is “not enough Byrds.” They admire him fur his fearlessness, his cam paign for government economy, his courage to vote his convictions and the determined fight he has made, though in the minority—to end so cialistic spending and wasting, to analyze budgets, to stand as a watchdog on operations, and of keeping everlastingly at it. We rejoice in the re-election of Sena tor Byrd. If we had the power to name the new president of the United States it would be the able and distinguished Virginian. Foe of Alcoholism It is estimated there are 7,000 al coholics in South Carolina and 5,- 850,000 in the United States. Should alcoholism continue to in crease as it has during the past ten years, the terrible drain on our human resources can wreck our national economy. Alcoholics Anonymous was es tablished to “ help men and wom en who have allowed themselves to become victims of drink. It is an organization that is doing a wonderful work and has saved thousands of men and women who were traveling the wrong road and had become hopeless victims of this affliction. Spokesmen for the organization say that "no matter what our prob lem is, a'lcohol won’t‘help it.” In their national, state and local meet ings they humbly recognize the problems of those for whom one drink was too many, and a thous and not enough for others. Alcoholics Anonymous was first organized in Cleveland in 1933, and has spread with thousands of chapters in all parts of the nation. We salute the group and every in dividual who becomes a member should be encouraged and helped by non-drinkers. It has and is saving thousands of men and wom en from dr 2k. Many who were a dead loss have found themselves through a determination and hon est desire to stop drinking. To those who have no desire to quit, the organization, of course, car. be of no value.
