At home the state faces the highly difficult question of per haps violating its long-standing commitment to a balanced budget. Nationally, it faces the possi bility of one more avoiding the mainsteam ol national direction in politics. Both questions have more possibly vital results than show- on the surface. Gov. Robert E. McNair has sworn to stand by the concept of a balanced budget--we shall spend no more than we have. On the national political scene, both major state parties live with the quandary that neither might be able to deliver the state’s eight electoral votes to Demo crats or Republicans. George C. Wallace, they fear, may be so powerful a factor in the Pal metto State that national Demo crats and Republicans may only shake their heads and dismiss making any real efforts beyond those the state parties are com mitted to try. Despite its relatively low standing in many national ratings --per capita income, health and state develop at least the be ginnings of a two-party system, even three. so on—South Carolina has in the past decade managed a new image, that of a progressive Southern state that is moving from agriculture to industry in an orderly way. 4 Though it is often misunder stood in its racial work, the South Carolina record since the most careful states U. S. Supreme Court desegrega- to stay out of debt, tion decision of 19 54 is enviable . national politician would compared with many states, Uke to have ^ sort of state North and South. ! on his side, if not for the mere handful of electoral votes, but They have seen it handle its racial crisis as well as most and far better than many. They have seen it be one of the in the fight Its high rating on Wall Street as a state that can be trusted to pay its bills and spend no more than it has in hand is ex cellent compared with the ragged, deficit-hit governments of many richer states. And while eight electoral votes are not enough to make most candidates for President highly excited aboutSouthCarolina, they would ordinarily take it serious ly, if given a chance. Many national politicians see South Carolina as a state that, they like to say, throws away its votes, or has for many years. Though it be a legal form of pro test, they consider it a sort of political suicide. By voting for persons who can not win, the national politician feels the state is often just ex ercising its feelings like an errant child-sort of holding its breath to see if its parents won’t get upset. However, they have seen the because such good political to tie known. a state can make company by which Now, the state is being threat ened with deficit spending. It is being accused of not doing right by S. C. State Col lege untU militants forced it to. And it is being accused of resorting to the old dodge of leaving the mainsteam in a pre sidential election year to register a protest vote that might leave Democrats and Republicans look ing less than persuasive. Whether the State Legislature and Gov. McNair can avoid a deficit, whether the parties can settle on candidates and go to work, and whether the race pro blem can be made less, is a matter of great concern. Some persons in the national picture may be able to dismiss South Carolina with a shrug, but South Carolina has no such choice.
