A South Carolinian By Brent Breedin GOLDWATEB WORRIES THURMOND Senator Strom Thurmond and other strongly conservative members of the South Carolina Congressional delegation are eye ing Barry Goldwater’s announ ced candidacy for the Republican Presidential nomination with mixed emotions. In the case of Thurmond, his heart may go out to his Senate colleague and co-leader of the nation’s conservative forces, but his political intuition warns him that a Goldwater nomination in ’64 could lead to a Thurmond disaster in ’66. , A November defeat for Gold- water in South Carolina in spite of Thurmond’s open or quiet backing would set the stage for Governor Donald Russell to chal lenge and unseat the Senator in 1966. Prior to President John Ken nedy’s death, a Goldwater nomi nation appeared hopeful to South Carolina Republicans and con- servaUves. It was considered likely that Goldwater could de feat Kennedy in the state, there by strengthening Thurmond’s position among the voters. JOHNSON LOOKS UNBEATABLE Today, there is no such likeli hood that even a Goldwater Thurmond coalition can over come Southerner Lyndon John son . with his combined support of the state Democratic Party, i Negro leaders, and organized labor. Goldwater is certain to look good to the conservative South Carolinian with deep-rooted prin ciples, but President Johnson looks equally good to the rank- and-file state voters not quite so ings Goldwater’s announcement that- he will actively seek* the Republican Presidential nomina tion in July. POLITICS, PRINCIPLES, HERITAGE Politics and principles and heritage are interwoven through this real life drama. Politically Strom Thurmond has never openly assisted the Republican Party. On the other hand, he has done little to assist the exist ing leadership of the Democratic Party. For all practical purpos es, Thurmond is an independent politician who wears the Demo cratic label while finding him self more often than not in sympathy with the Republicans. This is not an unusual situa tion among South Carolina’s present representatives to Con gress, Senator Olin Johnson and Representative Robert Hemphill excluded However, Thurmond has been particularly vocal in opposing Democratic Party plat forms and in assuming a large portiori of the national conserva tive leadership — generally re served to Republican Barry Goldwater and his followers. UNWILLING TO COMPROMISE Thurmond and Goldwater have been called “opportunists” by many of their enemies, but the fact remains that their support has come largely from people who consider them men of strong principles, men unwilling to compormise their beliefs for the sake of personal gain. This refusal to compromise, particularly in the area of na tional party platforms, has been a thorn in the side of professional party chiefs. As a result, the Goldwater support nationally and the Thurmond support in South Carolina is built largely on a pose a friendly Democrat such a^ President Johnson appears to be.. Thurmond, who supported Johnson for the Democratic Pres identialnomination—in—1960, would like to give him full sup port in 1964. He is hoping that coming events will provide the conservative element of the party with a strong role within a John son-run administration. Such an occurrence might take place but is highly improbable. More likely. President Johnson will compromise Thurmond-Gold- water principles to such a degree that Thurmond will find himself unable in good conscience to sup port the President over Goldwa ter. For this reason, the South Car olina Senator must be secretly hoping that he will not be called upon to make such a choice later this year.

Unquestionably Johnson is more appealing to a vast major ity of South Carolina’s voters (including Strom Thurmond) than any of the other avowed or rumored Republican Presidential hopefuls. It’s this latter fact, this feel ing that he can actively support Johnson in 1964 over the liberal or middle-of-the-road RepublF cans, that is giving' Thurmond cause to ponder with mixed feel- When this group is not inspir ed, candidates dependent on their support will fall before organiza tions. Three such organizations presently opposed to Strom Thur mond while favoring Donald Russell are the state ancl nation al Democratic Party, organized labor, and varied Negro groups. HOPING TO AVOID CHOICE South Carolina’s identification with the Democrat ic Party, makes it difficult to op- PANEUNG PRE-FINISHED R*ndy to Put on the Wall ■** Colonial Birdi 6“ 4 ft.

They are ornamental, animat ed and vocal in addition to giv ing great service in ridding our gardens of harmful insects. , Birds may be divided into five classifications. First, the resident birds which live all year around in Clinton. Among these may be seen the Carolina wren — our state bird; jaybird, dove, song sparrow, field sparrow, -flicker, mocking bird and Toehee. Second, birds that live here only in the summer which total about thirty-five species and in clude the house wren, wood thrush, brown thrasher, summer red bird, cardinal, indoor bunt ing. grosbeak, grass sparrow, etc. The robin comes in between these two classifications because he stays until the extreme cold days drive him away. Then he comes back in the spring. Third, the winter residents who come from the cold zones, such as the junco and purple finch. Fourth the migratory birds who are only in transit covering territories as great as from South America to Alaska. Such birds are the gros beak, scarlet tanager, Baltimore oriole, warbler, red start and the hooded warbler. Arctic birds spend 90 per cent of their lives in travel from one artic region tb the other once a year. Larger birds travel by day, and smaller birds by night for seif preserva tion., Their maneuvers are by in stinct. Fifth, the casuals which are birds that are AWOL. For example a snowy owl was shot in Spartanburg County. The owl was 2,000 miles from his usual locale, because of a shortage of his favorite food, the lemming, which is a type of rodent that flourishes in colder sections of Europe and Siberia. v Birds excel man in eyesight and hearing. In most all species among birds the male is the most brilliant in color and the female is drab—another of na ture’s protective measures. There are 331 species registered in South Carolina. Love our birds. Feed them. Robins love chopped apple. Pea nut butter diluted with beef fat is bird caviar. Cracked corn, cracked Wheat, sunflower seed, millet, heitip, chick feed are good for all birds. A doughnut tied to your feeder will become a trap eze. Set out a shallow basin of water with a drop or two of gly cerin to prevent freezing, and a mirror in the bottom to reflect the sun. Sand or ashes are nec essary in winter when the ground is frozen. Birds often die because of their inability to scratch up the grit which is their substitute for teeth. Yours for more birds. Henri Rhame MrrT J.
