(\, THURSDAY, JULY 24. 195X Walter A. Johnson When Walter Johnson died early Wednes day morning an era was terminated at Pres byterian College. And Walter Johnson was the central fi gure in that era—one of the brightest and most fruitful in athletic history in the Unit ed States. When the late Dr. D. M. Douglas, then President of the College, invited Johnson in 1915 to become coach of the athletic teams, little did he know that the selection was to turn out to be one of the most fortunate evgr l<* be made by any college president. From that day on. Presbyterian College was Walter Johnson’s life. He strove might ily, and well. From a handful of football players, when he had to scrimmage one end of the line against the other for lack of numbers, and from a plant that had almost nothing in the way of athletic facilities, Walter Johnson went on to build teams and plant that came to command the respect of all who are fa miliar with the history of the college. And in the building. Johnson did not omit human and moral values. Along with teach ing them the game, Johnson instilled into his players values and standards that made them better citizens in thousands of com munities all over the world. Manx honors came to Johnson during the years, and he accepted them modestly. And n*»t the least of these was the respect and admiration of the people of this, his tommunity. Mr shall miss have complied with every requirement of the Atomic Energy Commission and the Joint Congressional Committee on Nuclear Power, but the project is bogged down in Washington. Could it be that proponents of public pow er have applied the customary obstruction tactics.to such private development of power —or is it. as the Observer said, " . . . gov ernmental red tape . . . gumming up the works.” . / A plant grows in Death Valley/California, which is called the ‘‘killer weed.” Its orange colored tentacles envelope another plant or bush and strangle it to death. Its effect on plant life corresponds to the results of bu reaucratic red tape on our economic life. Walter Johnson (continued from page one) Among his • immediate survivors are: his wife.

Greenwood exploded for four runs in the eighth, moving into a 7-7 tie, and took the lead, and what turned out to be the vic tory, with their ene run in the tenth frame.

The Clinton Paper Box Co. was established here in 1950 by Mr. Warren, who came to Clinton from Charlotte, N. C. After getting well underway, Mr. Warren sold some stock in the plant locally and a corporation was organized with T. E. Addison, pres ident; L. W. Cooper, vice-pres ident; and Mr. Warren, secretary- treasurer and general manager. The plant makes 6,500,000 hosiery and garment boxes annually, and sells within a radius of 100 miles of Clinton. Mr. Warren and Browning Dicus are the salesmen. Upon setting up operations here in 1950, a building was leased with an option to buy, the option being exercised in 1951. Four additions have been made since, the plant now being the second largest of its kind in the state. The major ex pansion was made in 1954 when capacity of the plant was doubled. Mr. Warren stated that the bus iness has enjoyed a substantial in crease each year. The plant has 35 employees. Mrs. J. H. Buzhardt is book keeper and office mnaager. Mr. and Mrs. Warren, the former Miss Myona Eaker of Cherry ville, N. C., have their home at the cor ner of Cedar and Elm streets in the two children, Mrs. Bryan Coates College View section.

History records that while the Christians were holding the city of Constantinople in the 15th Century behind its massive hundred foot high wall, an enemy soldier discovered a back door in the wall, open and unguarded. While the Christians battled from the para pets, the Moslems slipped through the un guarded door and the city was 'taken. The United States perhaps is as impreg nable from outside attack as was Constanti nople but it may also be as vulnerable from within. While our country is spending bil lions of dollars for defenses to protect itself from freedom-destroying invaders, is it leav ing a back door open? A socialistic trend that has persisted in the UJ5. in recent years continues to en croach on private citizens and industry. The affairs of the^country fall more and more under the control of invading bureaucracy. Thus we are gradually breaching our de fenses of individual opportunity and person al liberty.

OIL THE CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE Ever since the Crusades of centuries ago, every war has been claimed to have been started for some great moral purpose. All nations in the Near East conflict claim that they are fighting for freedom. President Eisenhower insists that if the people of Iraq had peacefully voted to depose their king, bo U. S marines would be in Lebanon today. To have, how ever, a rebel band murder the king of Iraq and his premier is contrary to the Eisenhower Doctrine. Let me, however, say that if there were no oil in the Near East, there would be no marines in Lebanon! This conflict will not result in a shooting war with Russia as Russia has all the oil that she needs. The kings of all these Near East nations are controlled by the world's big oil companies. These big oil companies will naturally despise Nasser for stirring up this trou ble. It, however, might be much cheaper for the Unit ed States to provide some other means for Nasser to get funds for his poor people. Readers have been wondering how this situation will affect their oil investments. The large oil com panies are divided into two groups; Hie international Killer Weeds The Newberry Observer recently ’ < HivemneoU may come and may go, bat rad toga eUgya os What led to thr nrwwpaper’s the start of a oils, such as Standard of New Jersey, Socony Mobil, Texas Co., and Standard of California, which get large quantities of their od from the Near Bast; and the domestic oil concerns, led by Phillips.
