When such a proposal was made here a few years ago we ex pressed opposition to the idea as unsound and unnecessary, and will continue to do so if the proposal is revived again. The whole story doubtless never will be told or known about government financ ing of hundreds of big expensive projects and home building for in dividuals. If the truth could be known, it would be among the big gest scandals of a scandalous age in our opinion. Whenever individ uals or groups get access to public money (taxpayers) there is bound to be a big question mark, and sometimes stealing or questionable actions. There has been shoddy workmanship and materials tft ex orbitant cost to home-owners. Po litical pull is often responsible for the pouring out *of multiplied mil lions of dollars all over the country for government financed projects. More and more taxpayers will be left to hold the bag. Marriage Licenses Drop For Year , According to figures released from the office of Probate Judge J. Hewlette Wasson, the year 1952 showed a decrease in the number of marriage licenses issued from! his office. In the year just closed, it was reported, the number of licenses is-| sued was 482 as compared with 522 the year before. This was a falling off during the Leap Year period of forty. One license was issued to| a couple where the man gave his age as 71 and the woman 65. complaint. OWENS & OWENS, Attorneys for the Plaintiff. December 22, 1952.

C., THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 1953 i he Dagger Ahead Now that we are about to change the national Administration which ras done' much harm, let us hope that a better day lies ahead with the exit of Truman. We have’ had a world war to the cetriment of everyone except the Red leaders.' We have through .-tupidity—or worse Assisted in the \ nslavement of hundreds of mil lions of once free human beings. We have placed a financial burden of over two hundred thousand mil- 1’ons of dollars debt upon our- .-elves and our descendants for long! years to some. We could have re built a free and happy world—ex cept for Russia—but now a dark and dangerous cloud hangs over it and there is no real joy in the heart of anyone who is intelligent ^charges Johnston makes are true, and we presume they are—there is v no one to blame but Congress it self. It is encouraging at least, that a belated discovery has been and the high pay they are drawing. The senator has made a late dis covery. What he now charges was pointed out in the Hoover Com mission report back in 1949 report ing 200,000 employees in 96 coun tries, working under 44 agencies} controlled in turn by 30 congres-j sional committees. A bi-partisan, study of foreign affairs was then strongly recommended to uncover; slipshod personnel policies, dubious pay scales for clerks and stenog-; raphers, and duplicating functions! at unnecessary expense to taxpay-1 ers. Now at this late day the sena-' tor makes a blanket indictment.! Where has he been the past three! years? Why didn’t he and his col-; leagues become aroused and do something about the Hoover Com mission recommendations. If the made after refusing to set up a bi-j partisan commission to do a clean-1 jt s ! ing up job we are now told is so J Why was the Com-1 mision report ignored, is a good j question. enough to grasp the terrible dan gers which we. face—danger of ac- i a.ly losing our lives as have so many millions in Russia.

The warning came from Dr. Jul ian P. Love, of Louisville, (Ky.), Presbyterian Theological Seminary who opened the annual state Pres- b yt e r i a n ministers convocation here. “We cannot change history over night,” Dr. Love said, “but as long as we have a cleavage church, built on racial, cultural or nationalistic lines, we fall short of the inter racial system set up by the early church.” Approximately 150 ministers were attending the meeting.

Humphrey of Minnesot?, a rabid Democrat. Humphrey was one of the lead ing forces at the Democratic con vention last year when insult upon insult was thrust upon the South. He had a big part in insulting this state's delegation, and of fighting to deny its members from being seated the convention, a fight in which his crowd almost won. They did win in refusing to allow our representatives to vote upon the adopted platform. There are about a half a dozen so-called Democrats of this calibre Z C .i nSre f V ^° ar ? hoStile ‘i 1 the I conservatism! South and will go to any extreme to win their fight. These men are to be watched closely, else with Humphrey as their leader, they will get in some dirty work before the session hardly begins.

We suppose the sale is order ed because the project is not • fi nancially sound. The government put up the money, no individual would take such an uncertain spec : ^ulative risk. > J.

Just why should Charlestonians build and own such an expensive property in Greenwood which is noted for its It is interesting to note that the originial mortgage was held by one of the large banks of Atlanta. In September, 1951, the mortgage was assigned to a large New York City bank. It was then insured, the report states, by the FHA, to which the New York bank reasigned the mortgage when them on or before said date, duly proven, or be forvere barred.
