MEN AND THINGS
I like to read accounts of good aery of Chicago. The present
heed of the operations -Mr. Wal-
ration. We live pn and by
through busiwei operations. Not
all are industrialists and certain
ly most of m operate on a mod
est scale. Some are newspaper,
men and with that operate a
business that is a trial to one's
ingenuity; others are engaged in
a multiplicity of oocupatlone;
acme of my friends end aamd-
ates operate radio and televiatan
stations, with lots of headaches,
probably. But “Business,"
whether we practice law or med
icine, or farming, or run dm haz
ards of the mercantile career—
we live by business. Even
is too modest to tell
me what is happening, but I find
the nows in The Joanna Way,
along with a picture of ray
friend, John Roes, who it looking
young and handsome. t
Mr. Whiter Regnery, in a let.
ter to all Joanna employee* says
something I wish to quote :
“It gives me great pleasure to
announce that Joanna will pay
bankers sometimes have worries.
When I run across a story of
exceptional management I enjoy
it Here is one that I am taking
from The Joanna Way, the very
readable and attractive magazine
of the Joanna Mills. You may
recall that the Joanna Mills
breathe the spirit of my great
friend, the late WiHJam H. Reg.

What do you think of this? A
camera, housed in s rocket, pho
tographed 900,000 square miles
of the Gulf Coast area from an
latitude of 155 miles. It takes
skilled craftsmen from eight to
twelve months to make one of
these cameras and they cost from
$2500 to $10,000.
No comment is necessary: from
an altitude of 155 miles!
What an age is this!!

„ President Roosevelt probably
didn't fully appreciate all gut he
conceded to Russia; at the mo
ment he undoubtedly thought
only of winning the war, that
war. The immensity of Russia’s
gain was probably known to
that only the very efficient sndj not ^
most modem could sell their pro
duction and still have a small
margin to pay something to those
who provide the plant and ma
chinery. Joanna again comes in
this classification. Again, your
stockholders, or those who have
put up the capital to make our
plant possible wish to share their
profit wigi you. They went in
this way to show their apprecia
tion for the pert you played in
the success we enjoyed this year.
The price we receive for our-
finished product is by and large
beyond our control This is set
by over-all factors in the large
textile goods market. Therefore,
when we are in a depressed pe
riod, as we have just finished,
with prices goii^ down, we must
somehow become more efficient
to be able even to meet our ev
ery-day expenses, such as cotton,
wages, supplies, etc. Due to mar.
ket conditions, one field of tex
tiles might not be as depressed as
others. Here by shifting over to
these new products we can re
ceive more for our joint efforts.
In the year just finished, we at
Joanna followed these two ideas,
became more efficient and shift
ed to new products. These ef
forts, plus continued high qual
ity of workmanship, made our
bonus possible. It proves again
the wonderful spirit of coopera
tion that exists at Joanna. It re
quired each and everyone's full
est effort to make all this pos
sible.”
Doesn’t it warm your heart to
find such happy and efficient co
operation?
On the back of a popular trade
magazine I find this statement:
“Foreign textiles sold in our
United States in 1954 set a 30-
year record? Congress is now
considering a plan to cut our
protective tariff even further . .
inviting more foreign imports.’
We can’t compete with textile
workers who are paid 13c an
hour. U. S. tariffs help to equal
ize the 10.to-l wage cost odds
against us . . . lowering tariffs
will raise these odds.”
The great leson for us is the dan
ger at one-man government.
However honest and patriotic a
man may be he should be held
down by every legal restriction
that can be devised. Our courts
and Congress should not degen
erate into mere puppets of any
man’s dream.
As to the vast area gained by
Russia, I am repiinded of a re
mark by the late Miles Poindex.
ter. Mr. Poindexter was very
popular as United States Ambas
sador to Peru. He decided on an
expedition through the area in
dispute between Peru and other
nations. Said Mr. Poindexter,
upon his return: “Perhaps there
is such a vast domain uninhabit
ed, even unexplored, it doesn’t
seem worth quarreling over."

Does it pay to have industries
in your county? I recall a letter
from that great industrial genius,
Mr. Self, telling of the transfor
mation of the economic life of
Greenwod county through indus
trial payrolls. I have before me
the excellent Clinton Chronicle
and find a double column head
line on the first page:
“’54 County Textile Payroll
$13,629,438.” MM
“The 44 manufacturing estab
lishments in Laurens county paid
total wages ot $16,917,536 during
the fiscal year ending. June 30,
1954, a decrease of approximate
ly one million dollars over the
previous year. They had an an
nual production valuation of
$80,486,426, a decrease of a mil
lion dollars over last year. Tney
had an average of 6,113 employ
ees, same as last year, with a
capital investment of $25,005,371,
an increase of two million dol
lars over the previous year.
These figures pertaining to the
county are contained in the 19th
annual report to the South Caro.
Una Department of Labor, sub
mitted a few days ago to the
General Assembly.
Textile investments in the
county amounted to $16,029,153,
valuation of products $68,364,581,
average number of employees 4,-
921, about the same as last
with total wagea of $13,629,429.
Total mill village population
19,993.
The plants used 99,743 bales of
cotton.”
These plants are in Laurens
county; 1 wish we had them in
old Clarendon, where I live.
• • •
Time, the weakly magazine,
carried an advertisement of s
great New York Bank and it
tells something about cotton. A
half of the page is given to a
beautiful picture of an open cot
ton boll
Let me quota the adv, in part:
“Cotton, America’s largest
farm crop, provides almost 17 per
cent of our clothing. Today,
however, it has stepped out of i
the blue denim and gingham of I
yesteryear into the role of ‘won
der fiber* and rage of Paris fash
ion salons. This happened when
science learned how to make cot
ton fabric wrinkle and shrink
resistant.
But cotton is more than a fi
ber. In the boll are seeds for
which industry is continuously
finding new uses. Cotton seed
oil is used for margarine and
other foods ... the pulp makes
high-protein livestock feed . . .
linters that ding to the seed are
used in film, phonograph rec
ords and dynamite . . . and the
hulls become the basis for many
plastic article*.
Large sums of money are
needed to finance the production,
distribution, and marketing of
this multi-purpose crop."

The appointment of Judge
Discrimination
MUunderstood
By JAMES & EDVARD
A group of college presidents
attending a general convention
ere directed to a special con
ference room. They were asked
to go there because the discuss
ion had been planned for their
particular benefit.
If they had taken the view
which unfortunately is promi
nent in some thinking quarters,
these men could well have sur
mised that thty were being dis
criminated against because they
could not go to any session they
desired. But this trought occur
red to most of them because they
knew that the program had been
designed for them.
A group of educators have been
making surveys of southern col
leges for negro youth. Natural
ly enough, in the informal con
versations the question of segre
gation sometimes comes up One
young negro student put it this
way: “We do not consider that
we are being discriminated
against when we are provided
the training we need in public
school and college. Many of us
prefer to attend our own schools.
If the time ever comes when
white and negro*- students are
forced to attend the same schools
both races will be suffering
from discrimination for they will
be compelled to a course that
neither group may actually
want.”
This young man gives food for
serious bought. He presents a
side of the question that can ail
too easily be overlooked.

John M. Harlan to the U. S. Su
preme Court raises soem ques
tions.
‘The principal argument
against confirmation was made
by 'Senator Eastland and was
based upon Judge Harlan's mem
bership in the Atlantic Union
and the American Committee for
the United Nations and his re
fusal to say whether he thought
the U. S. Constitution could be
over-ridden by a treaty.
According to Senator Eastland,
the division in the Supreme
Court on this issue was 4 to 4
prior to the confirmation of
Judge Harlan.
If Senator Eastland is correct,
the division in the Court is now
5-4 in favor of the supremacy of
treaties over the Constitution.
This would seem to make more
urgent the passage of the Brick-
er Amendment, or something
similar to it However, it is re
ported that the Bricker proposal
lost ground in the last election.
Furthermore, the sub-committea
of the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee which will consider all
proposed amendments to the
Constitution is headed by Sena
tor Kefauver, who is a support
er of the Atlantic Union.”
The Bricker proposal is to
clarify the pre-eminence of the
Constitution.
Our courts and some of our
internationalists are about to
sell this nation down the river—
or perhaps, have already done so
