The committee went further by

an emergency to permit WPA to follow

empty Its treasury by February 7, instead
of February 37, as sought by
Congress.
Although the action was taken by
the Sub-Committee on Deficiency bills
and subject to confirmation by the full
Appropriations committee, a broad Intimation
of the position of the Full
committee was given when its Chairman
Representative Tayior, DemoI
crat, of Colorado, took the unusual
Htep of introducing the bill In the
House Tuesday before It had been
formally approved.
It la anticipated that the majot
fight in the House will be on three
fronts, vfz: The committees recommendation
of $725,000,000; the President's
recommendation of $875,000,000,
a proposal to Increase the amount to
$1,000,000,000.

All of which goes to prove that
what we need In this wonderful state
of ours are more small efficient manufacturing
enterprise and more income
for the worker.
Ixx)ka as if the greater part of our
column this week is going to be a
sort of series of sermons. We hope
you like 'em. From the paraphrasing
of the question of "what's wrong with
South Carolina," we want to hop over
to another topic and this time it involves
the destruction of what we
characterize as "Immoral literature!
And, so here we go right oh the springboard
and into the deep end of the
pool.

When the mayor of Milwaukee and
the governor of a great state like Wisconsign
join with a Catholic archbishop
in a battle against something, you
can bet that there is some reason for
it. And we want to take ofT our hats
to Mayor I>an Hoan. of Milwaukee,
and Governor Julius Hell, of Wisconsin.
for backing up Archbishop Samuel
Striteh's recently begun drive
against immoral literature.
Tbev realize, as does Archbishop
Stritch, that if the minds of those
who will be the adults of tomorrow,
are to be kept untainted what they
read must also be kept clean. No
mind is so plastic as that of a youth

The recent and growing flood of ob-j
scene and suggestive "literature,
which has inundated hook and magazine
stands, is as great a menace to
the bodies as well as the minds of
high school and college students as
any germinal disease. Cartoon, humor
and pii ture magazines are the bigpest
offenders in this regard.

Now to get away from the serious
vein and think over some alleged humorous

Have you noticed what has been

the wire netting, which has been in
place but a few months.
JOHNSTON BECOMES 8EVENT14
LIVING FORMER GOVERNOR
Columbia, Jan. 17.?Retiring from
office today, Governor Oliu D. Johnston
will become the seventh living
former governor of the state.
Former governors who are still living
in order of their terms are: John
Gary Evans, 75, of Spartanburg (189497);
Duncan Clinch Hey ward, 74, of
Columbia, (1903-07); Martin F. Ansel,
88, of Greenville, (1907-11); Coleman
Livingston Blease, 70, of Columbia,
(1911-15); Robert A. Cooper, 64, now
federal Judge at San Juan, Puerto
Rico, (1919-22); John G. Richards, 74,
of Liberty Hill, (1927-31); and Olin D.
Johnston, 43, of Spartanburg, (19351939.)
|
Former governor Evans was the
youngest man ever to hold the ofTice
of governor. He succeeded Governor
Tillman when only 31. The present
state constitution was adopted during
his term. |
Blease, who also served as United
States senator, was a candidate for
governor In the primary last summer.
Out of every dollar received during
1937 by American oil companies, 18
cents was required for federal, state
and local taxes.
Refuses Fortune
For Man O'War
New York, Jan. 13.?In 1939, at the
age of 22, nineteen years after he quit
the turf with the most notable record
in American history, Man O'War continues
to make news, l^aat week his
owner, Samuel D. Riddle, turned
down au offer of $1,000,000 cash for
him. It was by far the largest offer
made for a race horse. t
The offer came, appropriately
enough for bo huge a bid, from Louis
B. Mayer, Hollywood film producer,
Riddle revealed yesterday. It was flatly
refused, for Riddle had vowed never
to part with his famous runner and
sire and had Just completed arrangements
setting up a trust fund for the
son of Fair Play-Mahubah.
The trust fund will continue Man
O'War in his pleasant regal state If
Riddle and Mrs Riddle die before he
dies, and makes provision for his burial
in the same plot with his sire and
dam.
Mayer's offer was a surprising one
?at 22 Man O'War values as sire has
declined?but there seems little doubt
it was sincere. Since entering the
racing game, Mayer has bought heavily,
purchasing among others: William
Woodward's Perifox, Ogden Phipps'
Magic Hour (for $25,000), and Thomas
Hitchcock's Ossabaw. He has entered
them in the big CallTtrr?4a stakes
this winter and is training the $79,000
worth of yearlings purchased at the
Saratoga sales last summer.
It was at those same sales that Riddle
bought Man O'War in 1918 from
the late Augustufe Belmont for $5,000.
"Big Red" won twenty of twenty-one
races before being retired at the end
of his three-year-old season, losing
only to Upset, and won $249,465 in
purses. Competent judges believe his
winnings would have been doubled had
he run five or six years later* when
purses were uniformly higher.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO YOU
IF A TIRE BLEW OUT AT 60?
YOU'D BE SAFER WITH HUDSON'S
EXCLUSIVE AUTO-POISE CONTROL
WHY? Because this revolutionary mechanical
invention (patent applied for) automatically
helps to keep wheels on their course ?on rough
roads, in heavy side winds, even when a tire
blows. The operation of AUTO-POISE CONTROL
does not require special tires, tubes or
extra equipment of any kind. It is standard at no
extra cost on all 1939 Hudson passenger cars;
NO OTHER CAR HAS ANYTHING LIKE IT.
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO YOU
IF HYDRAULICS SUDDENLY FAILED?
YOU'D BE SAFER WITH HUDSON'S
EXCLUSIVE DOUBLE-SAFE BRAKES
WHY? Because, even if hydraulics should sud>
denly fail through accident or service neglect,
the driver of a Hudson just pushes farther on the
same foot pedal and STOPS.Thanks to Hudson's
exclusive Double-Safe Brakes ? two braking systems
(finest Bendix Hydraulics and a separate
reserve mechanical system) working automatically
from the same foot pedal. Many letters in
our hies tell of accidents prevented by DoubleSafe
Brakes, standard in all 1939 Hudsons.
