Real War Party Sen. Sparkman (D-Ala.), the Dealers’ vice-presidential candi date in 1952, apparently needs his memory to be jogged. Sen. Sparkman, who besides being Adlai Stevenson’s running mate, is quite a windbag in his own right, asserted: "It looks like the Republican party in power is developing into a war party. I would in clude the President, the secre tary of state, the Senate Repub lican leader and the chairman of the Senate Republican Policy Committee in this category.” Has the senator forgotten that we got into World War I, World War II and the Korean “police action” while Democrats were in power? Has he also forgotten that one of the chief accomplish ments of the present Republican administration has been the end ing of the Korean War? Mr. Eisenhower’s present pol icy may indeed get us into war in the Orient. But certainly the Democrats should have no mo nopoly on the privilege of plung ing us into battle. Isn’t the GOP to be allowde even one little old -war, now and then?—The News & Courier. Strom' lurmond Aid Far Crap Disaster Areas To help alleviate the effects of the freeze to fruit and vegetable crops in South Carolina, the U. S. Department of Agriculture has de clared producers over the entire state eligible for emergency loans. But this is not enough, and I am trying to secure legislation to go further. Our farm operators and workers need additional acreage in' other crops that can still be planted. During the past week, I joined Senator Richard Russell (D-Ga) and several other Southern Sena tors in co-sponsoring a bill that would authorize the Secretary of Agriculture to accomplish this. It provides that no crop quota would be increased more than 500,000 acres or three per cent of the na tional quota as already determined for the year. The Secretary would be author ized to increase allotments foi tr.» farm operator when he determines that the normal production from the farmer’s crops is insufficient to provide a livelihood for him and his workers. The acreage would be increased to enable the operator to produce sufficient agricultural commodities to continue farming operations. The bill covers disasters caused by drought, flood, hail, frost, freeze, wind, insect infestation, plant disease, or other natural cause. • The additional ’ acreage alloted under this bill would be in addi tion to county, state, and national allotments for the year and would not count in establishing fuutre allotments. ' Senator Russell and I have urg- de speedy action on the measure so it can be of some benefit to our farmers this year when it is most needed. Yellow Grits Pours In More than a year’s supply of yellow hominy grits has been sent to Jean and me snice I mentioned the scarcity here in Washington We have so much now that we’ve decided to teach Washingtonians and other legislators to like them. We’re turning some of our gen erous supply to the Senate dining room with instructions to serve some to aM Senators and visitoik. Maybe yellow grits will not be so scarce in the nation’s capital after this. 8. C.
