He attacked the Truman Administration for “bun gling . . . corruption . . . unethical conduct . . . the trend toward so cialism.” Eisenhower Is needed, he con tended, to “restore confident' in government” and help put an end to the Korean war and avoid World War III. Byrnes said Eisenhower’s prom- j ise to visit Korea in an effort to end the war therq Is “heartening to the mothers of America." Referring to Democratic candi date Adlai Stevenson s label of “embittered apostates” for South ern Democratic governors who are supporting Eisenhower, Byrnes said name calling will hurt none of the three—Byrnes, Kennon of Lpuisiana and Shivers of Texas. He teed off on the Federal Fair Employment Practices law pro posals of the Democratic adminis tration, saying they would force those who knew and admired him.

Seaboard To Feature College On Menus '—’ You may be having Presbyte rian college with your breakfast the next time you take a railroad trip. The institution will be featured on menu cards of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad for a period during November and December. It is part of the company’s program to recognize the outstanding univer sities and colleges within the Byrnes in anticipation of a posible Southern states it serves. A line drawing of Neville Hall and a brief article will tell the the period Oct. 19, 1951, - April 23, Presbyterian college story on the 1952. He performed particularly outside back cover of -each menu, good work, the citation says, in es- tablishmg a civilian restraining PTA C*nrnivstl line and eliminating the threat of TIM carnival enemy infiltration. Col. Wmgard received his army discharge a few months ago. He Southern cotton mills to employ Negroes to work side by side with white women and white men. Ste venson, he said, advocates such a federal law, while Eisenhower be lieves in leaving such legislation to the states. He noted that this type of legis lation twice has been defeated in Illinois, and once voted down by the people of California. Stevenson has “completely sur rendered to Mr. Truman,” the gov ernor said, and “would have to continue the policies and appoin tees” of the administration. Eisenhower, he insisted, is "in accord with most” of the anti- administration platform of the South Carolina Democratic party. He reminded his listeners that, as members of the South Carolina Democratic party, they are free to maintain good \ standing in the state party and still vote for Eis enhower. A resolution of the Au gust re-convened state Democratic convention permits this, he noted. Byrnes pooh-pooed the claim of Democratic campaigners that elec tion of a Republican president would deprive Southern Democrat ic senators and representatives of congressional chairmanships. The chairmanships depend upon the composition of the House and Sen ate, he explained, not on who is in the White House. The governor scored what he called Democratic scare talk, the election of a Republican would bring on another depression such as occurred under the last Republi can administration. when $499,T(>2.30 was collecfe i and $35,174.11 in unpaid taxt' was turned over to the delinquent tax collector The total to have been, collected last year was $534,475.0> before taking into account duplicates, nulla bonas and delinquents.
