Washington, July 26 — The United States and Britain have agreed to join in calling an inter national conference of about 10 nations by Sept: 1 to create an anti-Communist Southeast Asian Alliance. Consultations w it h friendly nations which jnay, par ticipate are already being held. The aim of the conference will be to conclude a defensive treaty that would post “no trespassing” warnings for the Communists along the borders of South Viet Nam, Laos and Cambodia in In dochina, and of Thailand and Burma. The British agreement to hold a meeting by Sept 1 apparently represents a concession on tim- ing by Foreign Secretary Eden. Earlifer information had been that jlden believed many months would be required to work out the proposed pact. Secretary of State Dulles had sought creation of anti-Commun ist strength in Southeast Asia is necessary in view of Communist gains through the Indochina peace settlement reached at Ge neva yesterday. While there was no immediate official announcement of the American-British agreement or of the diplomatic arrangements already underway, State Depart ment press officer Lincoln White fully supported information pri vately available on the subject when he met reporters at a news conference.

In iMr. Parker is the son of Mrs. Ed Turner of this city. Senator Capehart’s Ire appar ently was roused by the demands of Senator Harry F. Byrd, Demo crat of Virginia, for swifter action by the Justice Department to pro secute those guilty in the scandals. “If there’s a mess, you created It,” he told the Democrats. ^ Then Senator Hubert H. Hum phrey, Democrat of Minnesota, confronted Senator Capehart with his statement on April 9, 1951, de scribing the housing bill of that year as “one of the finest bills ever to come before the Senate.” The Indiana Republican 'con. ceded he was “wrong” and he added that Congress was misled at that time by housing officials and trade spokesmen. . Senator John J. Sparkman, De mocrat of Alabama, said it was “only fair” to keep in mind that every member of the Senate knew when they passed the housing law that there would be big profits in the program.

Dr. Felder Smith - OPTOMETRIST Laurens, S. C. 7*4 Communism and Socialism (Editorial in Farm and Ranch) The labor barons are working overtime attacking the South be cause of our state “right-to- work” laws. They call ’em “run away” shops and claim they are a threat to the nation’s economy. They contend that the southern states which outlaw the union shop (you must join the union or be fired) are lowering the stand ard of living by causing unem ployment elsewhere. They re sent the way industry is moving to the South, where unions don’t have the strangelhold they do in the North- , Labor leaders are claiming that President Eisenhower’s Ad ministration is "indifferent to shrinking employment" in America. They demand more Government handouts to prime the pump. The union leaders’ answer to our economic ills” includes a broad Federal Works Program, (That means that the state and local governments would have to turn over to the Federal Gov ernment more and more of their rights to tax, and to manage their own affairs). The labor bosses Remand a bigger hous ing program (unsegregated) for low income groups; higher per sonal exemptions on income tax es in the lower brackets (soak the rich only), a share of corpor ate profits (but not the losses); higher corporation and high- bracket income taxes (that’s the same principle as if you sheep men decided to stop shearing and start skinning); a higher mini mum wage; “adequate” farm price supports; repeal of the “slave labor” Taft-Hartley law, and more pay for less work with unending “fringe benefits.”- Tax reduction at the exepense of an unbalanced budget and a climbing debt is stealing—steal ing from our children and our children’s children. Some of the Labor bosses are Communists. But most are mere ly Socialists. Their goal is to control America through a vot ing alliance of labor and farm ers. But farmers who own, rent or sharecrop are actually capi talists. They invest their money, equipment, and energies to try to make a profit. They have nothing to gain by an alliance with labor. The Communist-in tested Unit ed Electrical,. Radio and Machine Workers Union put out a pam phlet recently which said “Farm ers and workers face common problems ... together they face the common enemy: the greedy, wealthy corporations.” Organized labor claims 16 mil lion out of the 63 million work ers in America. Yet this minority! has browbeaten and intimidated our “st^tesmaq' beyond... belief The labor leaders have usurped the term “working man” for their very own Those working men” now put in 40 hours a week and are trying to cut it to 35 and in some instances 3”.

Someone has said that freedom is like a handful of sand. The second you relax any of your fin gers, it starts slipping away from you. S. C. Makes Second Highest Gain In Traffic Safety South Carolina made the sec ond highest gain in traffic safety of any state during the f.rst six months of 1954. ' Figures compiled by the Na tional Safety Council and pub lished in the July issue of “Na tional Safety” show only West Virginia with a greater percent age decrease in traffic fatalities during the period Socialist pattern; those organiz ed minorities who are promoting big govemmentism an<L.b-g un-, iomam. Among the leaders in! the fight to socialize America are the labor unions, the Ameri cans for Democratic Action, and the Farmers Union. America’s bitterest enemy j from without (even during Hit-1 leris regime) was in Commun ism. But Communism is not the menace within America which Socilaism is. Americans know Communism for what it is. A Godless cancer which enslaves both the body and soul. But Socialism, that deodorized aide- kick of Communism has been sold to many Americans under the guise of democracy This country was built on the freedom of the individual. Freedom to work, nr not to work. To stay or to go. Freedom to rise from the bottom to the top. Freedom to compete, to be the beet by earn ing it. Freedom to be wrong . . We can lose our freedoms—by loving security more. The his tory of freedom is a lessening.of governmental power, not an in crease of it. The handout state leads to paralyzing taxes, a fall ing off of incentive and produc tion, and finally—the wielding of harsh governmental power which disregards States’ Rights Only when the states and mu nicipalities are willing to re-as- South Carolina traffic fatah- ties decreased 28 per cent over the 1953 figure, with West Vir ginia showing traffic fatalities decreasing 35 per cent Thirty states showed a decrease in 1954. In March of 1954 traffic deaths in the state were 7.5 fatalities per 100,000,000 miles traveled. In March of 1953 the rate was 12.7 per 100 million miles traveled. Traffic fatalities in the state have decreased steadily since March of 1953. State Highway Department officials attribute much of the decrease to increas ed traffic safety education ac tivities. an enlarged patrol, and the point system.

Housing Scandals Stir Senate Clash - Washington, July 24.—Senate Republicans and Democrats ac cused each other today of respon- sibility for the Housing scandals that had given many contractors multi-million dollar “windfall” profits. Some Senators were temperate, saying neither party was "with out sin” in passing Federal hous ing laws that permitted the con tractors to make the big profits through mortgages guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administra tion. One Senator, Homer C. Cape- hart, Republican of Indiana, chairman of the Banking Commit tee which is investigating the scandals, was forced to swallow words spoken back in 1951 in sup port of a housing law. It was Senator Capehart who touched off the angry housing de bate by blaming the Democrats. “If there are ’iwindfalls’ and collusion, it lies at the feet” of former F. H. A. officials named by past Democratic administrations, he told the Senate. Senator Burnet R. Maybank of South Carolina, senior Democrat on the committee, retorted that the “windfalls”. a^ill were going on. He challenged Mr. Capehart to name the persons responsible for the scandals. The latter rattled off the names of former officials, Raymond M. Foley, Franklin Richards, Walter L. Greene, Clyde L. Powell, and “all of them.” The Indiana Republican said Burton C. Bovard, ousted general counsel of F. H. A., “doesn’t know anything more about what’s going on over there than a 12-year-old child, but he refused to get out, he’s fighting in the courts.” 11 The debate at frist threatened to block confirmation of the nomi nation of Norman P. Mason of Massachusetts to be head of the agency. When the wrangling sub sided, Mr. Mason was confirmed without dissent. The nomination was taken up by unanimous con sent when the Senate put aside for a short time its debate over the atomic energy revision bill.
