And we applaud the fine sportsmanship of the Vice President in combining his acknowledgment of defeat with congratula tions to hi< opponent and his reminder to the rest »>f us that the election is over and that we must l»ack the US team. Y\e note, too. the generous invitation of President Eisenhower to have his assistants coach the replacements ,.n what the score is nt this writing. i'reakient-elect Kennedy appears grateful for these considerations—as well he ought to lie. But. for all the consideration that may 1 *v extended to him from any and all quar ters. the clock ticks steadily on to the lay when he will l*e on his own.

The new President w ill have to decide for himself how far he can go and what he had i»est f irgef. Nor should he presume too much on the bat-King of a Democratic Congress. Whatever its julitical makeup, if Will not be a njbtier-stamp Congress. First Things First The change in Presidential administra tions may m^an a change in appfroach to some of our national problems. But the prolr- lems themselves haven’t changed. We still musVjdeal with the Communists, the space race, farm situation, foreign af fair^, race relations, !al»oi relations, the need to prevent inflation and maintain a sound and expanding economy. Basically, all these problems boil down to an effort to protect and improve the chances of each individual American — and all the other people who share this planet with us—to enjoy the l>est life possible. Many Americans cling with child-like trust to a belief that the federal govern ment is best qualified to solve all problems and to provide the good life for all. All that is necessary, they seem to feel, is to spend a little more money, pass a new law, set up a new federal program or agency. The evidence betrays their trust. Take a look at the farm problem. The federal gov ernment has been fiddling with it for 30 years, and it’s worse than ever. The squabb ling and waste in our military programs is legendary. Certainly the U. S. Information Agencv is no model of how to win friends ° \ • abroad. Still, wlitbi the new Congress opens in Jan uary there will be demands for federal ac tion in yet more fields. Personally, we think Congressional effort could be letter spent in making existing federal projects work rath- THE CLINTON CHRONICLE OVER SOAKED Thursday, November 24, 1960 ,\ •\ A i\y Y- T.

This is especially true under a system wherein everyone has an equal vote whether he is a college president or a street sweeper. But to get back to the threatened New York news paper strike that was called off: Such a strike at any time of year would be very unfair to the people of New York, but to have it come just at the Christ mas season would cause a tremendous loss to all parties. 1 am not yet prepared to vote for compul sory arbitration, but 1 believe that certain regula tory legislation—including a time for striking—should become law immediately. For instance, the unions in the fuel oil business should not be allowed to strike in the wintertime Likewise, it would be un fair lor employers to be aHoifced to operate lockouts during the wintertime. I certainly hope there will be no more newspaper strikes anywhere. Surely the existing legislation covering railroad strikes could be applied equally well to newspaper strikes. This column appeals for justice for all concerned—and this includes all readers whether they are employers, or wage-workers, or other consumers. CLINTON, S, C.. THURSDAY.
