Wyatt and Arthur Lee. Mr. Wyatt was editor and owner of The Easley Progress, w'hile Mr. Lee was chair man of the board of the Index-Journal Com pany of Greenwood. Each of them was outstanding 'in his own field arid each was a superior newspaper man. Mr. Wyatt was widely acclaimed as a bril liant editorial writer. He wielded a facile pen and was an outspoken writer on many subjects. He could hit hard, and he could be gentle, even poetic—especially when writing about the Pickens County hills w’hich he loved. Mr. Lee took over the business manage ment of the Index-Journal some years back and built it into a thriving concern. In a re alignment of ownership of the company sev eral years ago, he became chairman of the board. Mr. Lee was a former co-publisher of our county contemporary*, The Laurens Adver tiser, with his brother, Alison Lee, now re tired, w ho headed the publication for so long as editor and publisher. And we don’t think we are mistaken when we state that Mr. Lee was a former co-owmer of The Chronicle. For it was the Lee broth ers, who. with H. D. Rantin, joined Wilson W. Harris in purchasing The Chronicle in 1912. Mr. Harris later bought out his part ners. One Way Out There is a solution to our most intoler able individual and national problem—Fed eral taxation. It is to abolish the personal income tax — without which the country fk)urished for its first 137 years, from July 4. 1776 to February 25, 1913. It not only can be outlawed by the same process — Constitutional amendment — by which it was instituted, but the process is actually under w'ay! The “Proposed 23rd Amendment” (House Joint Resolution 23) now pending in Con gress was introduced by Rep. James R., Utt, California Republican, and has, at this writ ing, been approved by the states of Wyom ing, Texas and Nevada. The Michigan Sen ate voted 22-10 in favor of the Resolution, but the Legislature adjourned before House action could be taken. In Louisiana, House approval was almost unanimous and a Sen ate vote is being awaited. And in 35 states, some 6,000 organizations, under the leader ship of the National Committee for Economic Freedom, are pressing hard for action. But wherp will the money come from to run the Government? Read H. J. Res. 23: “Sec. 1—The Government of the United States shall not engage in any business, pro fessional, commercial, financial, or industrial enterprise except as specified in the Consti tution. just one source — and that’s the already tightly squeezed taxpayer. The wonder is that such a warning is need ed. But it is—for, ajjparently, great numbers of people still labor under the delusion that government money comes magically out of the blue, not out of their pockets. Well, in the short span of three decades government’s tax take has jumped from a proportion of about one dollar out of ten to about one dollar out of three of the national income. If the big spenders have their way, the proportion will soon become one in two, or still more. And you, along with the other 180 million or so people in this country', will do the paying. No one else can. U. S. News & World Report provides this outlook for the remainder of 1960: “Bus iness will be good, but not booming. The economy, over all, will hold close to present levels. Latest developments suggest no steep climb, no new round of inflation and no major setback this year.” Babson Discusses Great New Inventions Babson Park.

The atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima had the explosive force of over 20.000 tons of TNT, whereas the old “block busters” had the force of only one I ton. Yet the newer ky*efen bomba [may have a thousand times the power of the atomic bomb.

Supreme Court of the United States has found a farm cooperative guilty of anti-trust violation and has scheduled arguments on whether two large industrial firms have vio lated anti-trust laws Collusion in restraint of trade is a violation of the Sherman Anti trust laws that has been in effect for many years. Few will argue that it is not a good law. But prosecution of farm cooper, abves and business firms under the law must suggest to many people this question: What about labor un- tons’ Are they innocent of monopo listic practices, or are they immune from prosecution? A search of court records and talks with prominent attorneys fail to show a single important case in which a labor union has been found guilty under the Sherman Anti-trust law. Yet the record of collusion cured only from uranium and similar substances, the between unions in restraint of trade industrial future is locked up in the discovery of means of safely harnessing hydrogen energy, com monly produced by fusion.

In summary, according to figures presented by Mr. Stone to the Texas Legislature, savings, at 1959 costs, would exceed individual income, estate and gift taxes collected in 1959 by $6 billion.

By the rearrangement of molecules, certain minerals may do the work of other minerals and combine in almost new minerals. Gallium, boron, phosphorus, arsenic, and other ele ments are used in these experiments By rearrange ments of molecules, strips of metal >4 of an inch wide and a few thousandths of an inch thick present great industrial potential. Since the days of Sir Isaac Newton, physicists have been seeking a partial insulator of gravity. Our met allurgists have been watching for some alloy (mil lions of untried possible alloys exist) to act as such an insulator. It is now hoped that this will be accom plished by a rearrangement of the molecules of some existing mineral. Such a discovery could well result in "perpetual motion” for small irrigation pumps and other industrial uses without consumption of oil or electricity. I am confident that such a discovery will some day be announced by the Gravity Research Foundation of New Boston. N. H. MACHINES WHICH THINK If space permitted, I would like to discuss the new developments in analytical and computing machines. These are now manufactured at great cost; but some day they wiH be as common as adding machines. None of these are as yet able to think, but can only rearrange and report on information previously fed into them. With the rearrangement of molecules, some day we may have a machine which “thinks.” “sympathy strikes boycotts, to force only one of the unions involved.
