C J-l 2tc Churchill Says Disputes With US Still Unsettled London, July 6—Prime Minis ter Churchill came home tonight with a cautious warning he had not “entirely” ironed out his for eign policy disputes with Presi dent Eisenhower. But he em phasized, “Nothing comes be fore the true and lasting friend ship between Britain and the United States." Before he debarked from -the liner Queen Elizabeth after a five-day voyage from New York, the 79-year-old Prime Minister radioed a summons that carried a,lone. of. 4ZEgaoo^-fer-4he~ British- Cabinet to meet him tomorrow morning and again Thursday. Smiling and looking fit, Churchill met newsmen at the dock in Southampton and told them: ~ “We hoped to be judged not only by the immediate recep tion of our efforts, but also by their influence on the future course of events and, after all, nothing comes before the true and lasting friendship between Britain and the United States. “Of course I have not yet been able to grasp the reaction to our mission which has taken place over here, but there is no doubt we shall hear something about it in the House of Commons in the near future. “But I can tell, you I am sure that by trying our best in the United States to make good wv- derstandings and solid agree ments possible between us we have pot entirely failed. But it would be a mistake to think ev erything can happen all at once." Churchill did not elaborate. Diplomats in London saw Churchill’s statement contrasting with the Washington communi ques on the outcome of the talks —especially his appraent empha sis that some Anglo-American differences were still outstand ing. Normally, he goes out of his way to put Anglo-American relations in the best possible light, underscoring the wide areas of agreement. Aides handed Churchill a stack of late British newspapers and a dispatch box crammed with state documents as he stepped into his London-bound train wtih Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden. The British leaders, who flew to Washington 12 days ago, face sev eral grave international issues in the next few weeks relating to Asia, Europe and the Middle East Most of them were discussed during the White House meetings and in Ottawa where Churchill and Eden met Canadian govern ment officials. Among them: 1. The Geneva negotiations for an Indochina peace settlement. Britain is prepared to support and guarantee any settlement of the almost eight-year-old war with the Communist - led Vietminh that France finds acceptable. The Unit ed States, according to informa- ants here, may decide to keep out of any agreement that gives an appearance of appeasing the Com munist world. 2. The project for a Southeast Asian Treaty Organization which American and British diplomats intend planning in Washington soon. The United States wants to launch the pact formally as soon as posstxle. Britain wants to wait until the Geneva talks end to pla cate Asian countries like India. WE DO ALL KDVD8 OF BAD PUB. CO. By ROGER W. BABSON NEW BOSTON, N. H.j, July 8, 1964.-4>uring a visit here I have had an opportunity to talk with various retired workers now living on pensions. One thing that interests them most is the future cost of living. They are grateful to tiheir employers for their pension, but they wonder just how much it may always be able to buy. You cannot blame them for worrying, considering that a $1,000 pension re ceived in 1900 will today buy only about $300 worth of food, clothing, and shelter. Money Versus Goods Too many of my readers are thinking Only of dollars, rather than of what these dollars will buy in the years ahead. Of course, the ideal thing would be for employers to promise their retired people a certain number of bushels of potatoes, pounds of meat, pairs of shoes, etc., in the form of a pensionf Corporations, however, cannot do this unless they can be reimbursed by the Government. As our politicians are the ones who mainly determine the cost of living, would it be unfair to ask their Gov ernment to “give these pensioners ‘insurance’ against such unnecessary inflation?” Another possible answer would be to have pen sion funds invested in merchandising stocks. 1 have in mind super markets such as A & P, Kroger, American Stores, First National, Stop & Shop, etc., and the Variety Chains. These stocks could partly serve as a hedge against rising food prices and the cost of necessities. The latter could always be pur chased from Chain Stores, such as Sears Roebuck, Montgomery Ward, Penney,—especially from the modern Variety Stores which now carry nearly everything necessary to living, other than food. The buyers for these Variety Chains huftt all over the world for the best merchandise at the lowest prices and sell it at the least profit; while the value of their inventories increases along with the cost of living. Thus, if pension funds were invested more in such stocks, the pensioners would be much bet ter off if the cost of living should increase—espe cially in view of the “self-service’’ feature which was promoted by Herbert A. Hills, Jr., of Welles ley, Mass.* Ten Big Variety Chains Working people should also put a fair proportion of their own savings in these stocks, possibly an equal proportion of money into each of the ten. Knowing, however, that two of these, the McLeLlan Chain and the McCrory Chain, are largely owned by the United Stores Corporation, I can “catch two birds with one stone” by buying the stocks of United Stores Corporation which,are listed on the New York and American Stock Exchanges. The Sec ond Preferred sells around $9.75 a share and yields over 8%; and the Common sells around $2.75 a share. When working people come to me and want stocks to lay away for their children and grand children, not for speculation, I recommend these United Stores stocks at the rate of one share of Common for protection with each two shares of Second Preferred for dividends.

In addition to their being a hedge against inflation and against a rising cost of living, they (provide a geographical protection in case of World War HI which big city stores cannot oiffer. All the above ten chains have their assets scattered throughout the United States. The United Stores (McCrory and McLellan)_have stores in over 440 cities scattered in 37 states, while Woolworth has 1,973 stores in the United States and Canada alone. Woolworth, however, has a large investment in England and Germany which World War 3 would probably wipe out. Although we may not now fear such a war, no student of history can believe that wars are over forever. Only a great spiritual awak ening, of which 1 see no signs at present, can pre vent the onslaught of such a war before long. FARMS... AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER.] Clemson College . ^ Information Specialist “ IF fKe Attorney General of the State of South Carolina on solid ground in trying to keep the state.out of the segregation issue as comes before us in the decis ion of the United States Supreme Court? I have great respect for Mr. Callison, our Attorney Gen eral, and for his ability as a law yer; but I can’t see how he steers his car through the fog. As a commentator I try to Jvoid captious observations or irritating objections; but I sub mit for the thoughtful considera tion of my fellow citizens some points that may arise. Obvious ly I am no Christopher Colum bus of the law; any lawyer will study the Constitution of the state in order to understand the questions before us. And not only lawyers, although it must be difficult for a layman to un derstand the law since we of the great profession can’t agree. Are the schools of South Caro lina a County interest; or are they sponsored by the State? The question before Judge Waring arose from Clarendon County. What is a County under our law? \ Are the schools of Clarendon part and parcel of the state? Is the participation of the Attorney General; or will his failure to file a brief, or submit an argu ment, a subtle evasion of the Court? Or can he evade the Court? Are we not morally com pelled to fight openly as long as possible? What do we gain by standing aloof? Our State Constitution estab lished the free school systdfti in South Carolina. Here is what it says: “FREE PUBLIC SCHOOLS — SCHOOL DISTRICTS— BOND ED DEBT—GRADED SCHOOL DISTRICTS. The General As sembly shall provide for a liberal system of free public schools for all children between the ages of six and twenty-one years; and for the division of the Counties into suitable school districts, as compact in form as practicable, having regard to natural boun daries. SALARIES OF SCHOOL OF FICERS. The salaries of the State and County school officers shall not be paid out of the school funds, but shall be other wise provided for by the Gen eral Assembly. SCHOOL 1 OFFICERS. The General Assembly shall make provision for the election or ap pointment of all other necessary school officers, and shall define their qualificatins, powers, du ties, compensation and terms of office. SUPERINTENDENT OF EDU CATION. The supervision of public instruction shall be vest ed in a State Superintendent nt Education, who shall be elected for the term of two yean by the *‘**~-*+***+*+**+******+*++*‘*+++++++>+++++++'++*++>++**0*****>**0>+*++++>» spiritous malt, vinous and in toxicating liquors and beverages, not including so much thereof as is now or may hereafter be allowed by law to go to the Counties and municipal corpora tions of the state sh^ll be applied annually in aid- of the supple mentary taxes provided for in the Sixth section of this Article, and if after said application there should be a surplus, it shall be devoTed to public school pur poses, and apportioned as tjie General Assembly may determ ine: Provided, however. That the said supplementary taxes shall only be levied when the net in come aforesaid from the sale or license for the sale of alcoholic liquors or beverages are not suf ficient to meet and equalize the deficiencies for which the said supplementary taxesare p r o- vided.” Unless we can persuade the Court to change its decision we must abide by it, or defy it, or adopt a course that complies with the words of the decision, yet maintain by legal method the traditions of our people. Although the 14ht Amendment was illegally and unlawfully de clared adopted, it has the sanc tion of the Court and this Court will not consider an objection which challenges the validity of in such manner and at such time as the other state officers are elected; his powers, duties and condensation shall be defined by the General Assembly. ENROLLMENT — TRUS TEES—POLL TAX— SUPPLE MENTARY TAX. The General Assembly shall define ‘enroll ment’. Not less than three trus tees for each school district shall be selected from the qualified voters and taxpayers therein, in such manner and for such terms as the General Assembly may determine, except such cases of special school districts now ex isting, where the provisions of law now governing the same shall remain unchanged by the General Assembly: Provided, The manner of the selection of said trustees need not be uni form throughout the State. There shall be assessed on all taxable polls in the State be tween the ages of twenty-one and sixty years (excepting Con federate soldiers above the age of fifty years), an annual tax of one dollar on each poll, the pro ceeds of which tax shall be ex pended for school purposes in the several school districts in which it is collected. Any school district may by the authority of the General Assem bly levy an additional tax for the support of its schools. SEPARATE SCHOOLS. Sep arate schools shall 'be provided for children of the white and colored races, and no child of either race shall ever be permit ted to attend a school provided for children of the other race. GIFTS TO STATE— ASSETS OF ESTATES OR CO-PART NERSHIPS — DIRECT TAX- STATE SCHOOL FUND. All gifts to the State where the pur pose is not designated, all es cheated property, the net assets or funds of all estates or cor- partnerships in the hands of the Courts of the State where there have been no claimants for the same within the, last seventy years, and other money coming into the Treasury of the State by reason of the twenlfth Section of an Act entitled ‘An Act to pro vide a mode of distribution of the moneys as direct tax from the citizens of this State by the United States in trust to the State of South Carolina’, approv ed the twenty-fourth day of De cember, in the year eighteen hundred and ninety-one, togeth er with such other means as the General Assembly may provide, shall be securely invested as the State School Fund, and the an nual income thereof shall be ap portioned by the General As sembly for the purpose of main taining the public schools.
