Dept, of Commerce Figures
Show SC Textile Leadership
Statistics on Looms and Production
Included In Report for First Time
South Carolina’s leadership of the
textile industry is emphasized more
strongly than ever by the latest
Untied States Department of Com
merce figures on fabric production
and the number of looms and spin
dles.
This state is shown to be ahead of
both North Carolina and Georgia
combined in total broad woven fab
ric production and in the number
of looms in place as of December
' 31, 1955. South Carolina’s central
position in the nation’s textile in
dustry thus is indisputably establish
ed since the Carolinas and Georgia
overwhelmingly dominate the field.
For the first time, the Commerce
Department figures give loom fig
ures for the various textile states.
Heretofore, the reports mostly have
been confined to spindles and spin
dle activity.
South Carolina long has been
ahead of North Carolina in the num
ber of spindles and spindle hours of
operation, but its lead in looms is
far more impressive. . I
Total bropd woven fabric produc
tion in South Carolina in 1955
amount to 4,013,000,000 yards, which
exceeded the combined North Caro
lina and Georgia production of 2,-
000,000,000 and 1,548,000,000 yards,
respectively.
South Carolina is credited with
a total of 158,335 textile looms of all
kinds—Cotton, synthetic, and wool
ens and worsteds. North Carolina
has only 91,703 and Georgia 60,280.
South Carolina’s cotton loom total
is 131,443 compared with 66,895 for
North Carolina and 53,629 for Geor
gia. '
As of June 29, South Carolina had
6,551,000 spindles in place and 5,-
947,000 of them were active. The
corresponding figures for North
Carolina were 5,867,000 and 5,017,000
and for Georgia 3,077,000 and 2,-
TSS^ooor —
In total spindle hours June 29,
South Carolina boasted 3,328,000 to
2,678,000 for North Carolina and 1,
259,000 for Georgia.
Not reflected in the Commerce
Department figures is the sharp
growth of the woolen and worsted
industry in this state in the last two
, years. South Carolina now has the
only two large commercial wool
combing plants in the South and
port of entry for^ wool. . Wool im
ports through Charleston (grew from
virtually nothing in 1953-to 17,500
bales in 1954 and to 58,177 bales in
1956. And for the first five and a
half months of 1957 Charleston’s
wool exports exceeded the 1956
figures.
The first new integrated woolen
mill to be built in the United States
in 25 years was opened in Febru
ary, 1956, at Barnwell.
Employment in the South Caro
lina textile industry totals 132,000.

CUTBACKS IN RESERVE
PROGRAM UNWISE
Another matter which is causing
me great concern is the present pol
icy of cutting back the military re
serve program.
When national defense is at stake,
there is no economy in trying, to
save a few dollars on our own mili
tary programs when we have wast
ed so much money overseas in so-
called economic aid to raise the liv
ing standards of foreign countries.
1 am as anxious as anybody, and
a fcreat deal more anxious than
some members of Congress, to take
every action possible to bring about
more real economy in the Federal
Government But I do not believe
it is real economy to reduce our
reserve forces The United States
has never been a country that de
pended on a large standing army to
meet its defense needs.

Jackson. Fort Jackson is
the finest training centers in the
United States and I was shocked to
learn that it was one on a list of
16 instaHations' in danger of being
closed as a result of Defense De
partment cutbacks.
Camp Gordon, at Augusta, Ga.,
also was on the list and 1 also ob
jected strongly against closing it
The Army will have to follow
whatever orders are issued by the
Defense Department with reference
to the military installations which
are on the list.
DEFENSE DEPARTMEN
The Defense Department inform
ed me that careful study is being
given to the entire program and
that action would not be taken be
fore giving interested parties an op
portunity to be heard.
Tn talking-with White House- of
ficials, I have emphasized the value
of Fort Jackson and Camp Gordon.
I urged that action be taken by the
White House to alter the plans under
consideration by the Defense De
partment.
I am hopeful that Fort Jackson
and Camp Gordon will be taken off
the list of installations which are
in danger of being closed. I am
continuing to keep in close touch
“CIVILIAN SOLDIERS”
VERY IMPORTANT
The United States has depended
and at the'upon its civilian soldiers—the re-
)r 5
of Fort burden of warfare. In World War
one of u, 9& per cent of our fighting forces
were either civilians or members of
the reserves.
The reserves are particularly val
uable because they have the skills
and experience both of the civilian
and the military man
I hope that the Defense Depart
ment will advise the Congress of its
needs so as to be able to maintain
our reserve forces at their present
level. The appropriation of funds
for this purpose is real economy be
cause it has been estimated that
four or five reserves can be main
tained for the same amount of mon
ey it takes to maintain one mem
ber of the regular forces

VOTED AGAINST EASING
IMMIGRATION LAW
On several occasions I have dis
cussed the dangers involved in ef
forts of some people in this county
to let down the flood gaFes’oTTm mi
gration for aliens to enter the Unit
ed States. It is so difficult to screen
out communists and other undesir
ables that I believe it best not to
lower our defenses.
However, this past week a bill
w as passed by the Senate to make it
easier for certain immigrants to
come into the country I was one
of only four Senators who voted
against easing restrictions. I simply
cannot agree to accepting unknown
dangers when we are already faced
With a constant fight against com
munism.
Too many married couples are not
working hard enough at keeping
their marriage in repair. It is more
important to do this than to keep
the automobile, the bouse, the radio,
the washing machine in repair. Un
fortunately, too few realize that.
There is a latter from a correspond
ent which points a finger at this
problem:
f ‘Won’t you tell the married worn
en who have husbands ‘playing
around’ while they play bridge, go
to weddings, attend social events
and even church affairs, to take a
ood look at their own marriage,
here are too many middle-aged
men who are paying attention to
other men’s wives who are staying
at home, or who are at work in the
business world. Sometirites a wo
man has to quit a job in order to
avoid these unwelcome attentions.
Many a woman is more sinned
against than sinning, and the wife
of the man is the one who is really
at fault. Then many a husband
needs to stop and think what he is
doing to his wife when he thinks on
ly selfishly of himself. I happen to
be a woman who has to work ifor a
living and am sick of men who are
so untrue to their wives. Some of
these men are even church officers.
If I didn't believe that God watches
over me, I donf believe 1 could
stand them Pray for women and
men to examine their responsibili-
tTes, live better lives. Sometimes I
think the whole world is going
crazy.”
This correspondent, who has prob
ably had some unhappy experience,
faces husbands and wives definitely
with the problem of their own sel
fishness. For too many seek only
their own desires in marriage. They
forget the time when they took each
other “for better or worse," prom
ised to “love, honor, and cherish one
another." At the time they made
the promise they expected to do it,
and were deeply devoted to each
other.
The pattern of a failing marriage
is familiar. As newlyweds they
planned together, worked together,
shared many things together. Then
they began to divide as they occupy
-fflore-and-more-with irr-
terests and work outside Ike home
and marriage. They begin to take
each other for granted. Familiarity

FATE OF CIVIL RIGHTS
BILL STILL IN DOUBT
As 1 wTite this letter, there has
been no indication in the House of
Representatives as to what will
finally be done with the Senate ver
sion of the so-called civil rights bill.
Efforts of Republican leaders to
reach a compromise have not im
pressed me favorably.
In my opinion almost any compro
mise will weaken the gains made in
the Senate by approval of the jury
trial amendment. Even with the
jury trial provision, the bill is un
satisfactory to me. If it is returned
to the Senate, I shall vote against
it again just as I voted and fought
against it when it was debated in the
jS.caalc_...Until .the civil rights bill is .
disposed of, there appears to be lit
tle hope of adjournment, although
it is possible it could come quickly,
perhaps by the time this is publish
ed.
