Rather than tackle any one subject this week, I shall Instead make some general observations based upon a year’s exposure to the Washington scene. CONGRESSIONAL DELGATION Not enough teamwork here!

X C seem that more coordtoation be tween Congressional offices could prove beneficial. Such sel dom takes place. Imaginative thinking about South Carolina and the people takes a distant second place to political con siderations and self-interest or just plain contentment. Seniority should make Senator Olin D. Johnston ami Rep. John McMillion two of the most re spected members of Congress. Such Is far from the case. Senator Strom Thurmond and Reps. Bryan Dorn and Robert Ashmore come close to being members of a minority party and therefore are not effective under a presidential administra tion which they seldom support. Rep. Mendel Rivers has hewed an interesting path between ex treme conservation and extreme liberalism. Now that he is near ing a position of power almost second to none in Congress- chairman of the House Armed Services Committee—it will be interesting to tee how he uses this power. SOUTH CAROLINA’S SHARE What is South Carolina’s share of the federal tax dollars which are collected from the 90 states, brought to Washington, and dis bursed from that point? It would seem to be consider ably greater than has proven to be the case. Regardless of how bitteriy our state’s representa tives might sometime fight fed eral spending programs, we are entitled to our fair share of the funds once the programs become law. Too often we fall to get this share, and this despite the fact that our senior senator, Olin D. Johnston, is a man of tremen dous political power who has al ways accommodated the Demo- 'cratic party bosses. Not only is this state trailing most others in receipt of funds through participation in federal projects, but also South Caro lina’s businessmen and Indus trialists are near the bottom in getting contracts and sub-con tracts for work from the Depart ment of Defense and the Nation al Aeronautics and Space Ad ministration—perhaps the two biggest spenders to the world. THE FEDERAL CITY Rep. John McMillan has been the “unofficial mayor” of Wash ington, D. C., in all but two years of the post World War H growth of the nation’s capital city. His position as chairman of the District of Columbia Com mittee in the House of Represen tatives gives him that distinct- tion. We shall by no means try to blame Rep. McMillan for the disturbing situation in Washing ton today; but, we can’t help but feel that the Florence native could have done more than ho did to prevent the city from be coming a “Negro City.” This writer considers portions of the city of Washington among the most beautiful in the world. Its collections of books, art, his tory, and culture in general will rival those of other cities—past and present. Yet, social experi ments have isolated much of this for a very small minority of our population. WHAT CAN YOU DO? What can the average South Carolinian do to ncourage good government in Washington? Vote intelligently for your con gressman, two senators, presi dent and vice-president. Never underestimate the power your vote gives these men. Perhaps voting for someone in whom you have personal confi dence is more important than voting on the “issues” which are sometimes hard to define; how ever, don’t let your personal con fidence be a blank check. Don’t be “used” by alleged friends who merely want your vote. Writing letters to your con- even so, it is a gressman can be overdone, to let him Sometimes these letters never from time to ttaM.
