It b not and will not be partisan in the coming primary electioa. The mem bers of the staff will wote as each sees fit. ThU does not mean, however that the Cluroncle b not interested in t^ outcomd of the election; it defnitely is, just as anyone with interest and affection for thb immunity and Stote would be. The Chronicle wishes to see the best men elected to s«rye the pe^ pie. In order to determine just who b the best suited candi date for whom to cstst a ballot there should be serious and studied consideration giwen each. Too often a candidate will not appeal physically or tempermentally to voters, although he may be the best fitted person for the position to which he aspires, and too often also a candidate will appeal to the pas sions and prejudices of voters who b the least fitted person for the position. The men and women of Kershaw County are educated, re4>onsible people wbo can think for themselwes and will not be duped in wreighing a candidate by the utterances of his lips alone but by hb character, ability and the reasons which have prompted his candidacy. We want men to run our County and State who think first of the welfare of the C<Mmty and State, who have courage and determination in tbe face ^ political pressure, and who have no personal auses to grind. Before you vote won't you ask yourself thb question, "Am I doing the best thiUg for myself and my neighb^ as citisens of Ker^aw Cminty and of thb great State by votbg for this candidate t" If you and all of us answer tbb simple question when put to eacA candidate considered there will be no doubt that the best man will win. ROGER W. BABSON ADVISES Employer, Employee, Consumer Must Pull Together Ndw In Time of Pea<» ATOMIC YEAR 2 BEGINS • The Federation of American Scientuts, whose members are working hard to bring under control the atomic bomb they created, have been beuing brief statements every month with the regularity of clockwork—or of the metronome that sound ed over the radio from Bikini. The statements say in effect: "One more month of the atomic age has passed. What have we done about the bomb?" It is a question that begins to haunt you as tbe months tick off and somewhere the stock of bombs piles up. Or as you read of some new jockeying for position among those in terested in the handling of atomic eneri^ in thb country. Or as reports from the UN Atomic Energy Commfssion dwell on impasses in the deliberations there. August 6 rwas the anniversary of our first use d the at omic bomb over Hiroshima. It b not an anniversary to cele brate, bdt it b one to which we had better give some hard thought A whole year of the atomic age has passed and many eminent scientists tinnk that five years is about the limit of' the time we have to'get atomic energy under effective control or to see our cities and ourselves blown to bits. That choke itself certainly isn't hard to make. What causes the waste of time, the precarious fiddling with our des tinies, is the smaller debates out of which the big decbion will have to come. Here are reflected—still, after a year— old, fatal confusions. Maybe we can work out a defense . . . maybe we can keep the secret. . . maybe the bomb really is n’t so awful after all. . . and besides, with our headstart, we can stay ahead in a bomb race. We believe it would be very healthy for the nation if its citizens would observe thb anniversary by repeating aloud a few times the truths which have been set forth in months of Congressional testimony and in hundreds of selenitic state ments : 1. There b no defense. None b foreseen. ^ There is no real secreti Any nation sufficiently tn* dustnalized to produce the bomb-—and thb takes in at least Russia, France and Sweden, as well as England—can have it within four years. 3. The bomb b fully as destructive as reported, and even more terrible ones are in prospect Long range rockets to de liver the bombs are well advanced and almost as frightening as the bombs. 4. A headstart in atomic bombs means nothing. - It takes only so many bombs to level a nation's cities, and our cities are among the world’s most vulnerable. These are the bedrock facte of life as Atomic Year 1 comes to an end. In the face of such facte President Truman has inade the statement that "the release of atomic energy constitutes a new force too revoluntary to consider in the framework of old ideas." Albert Einstein has said the same fv**'?-* • ® need to let the people know that a new type of jinking IS ^ential if mankind b to survive and move toward hflghw leveb." In short, man has got himself into a situation which he can handle only through international collaboration on a scale never ^fore achieved and not often attempted. The itself, must be truly controlled the world in. •wment, on atomic control now proceed- mg in the UNj the great, ovar*iiding truth must be held onto for de^ Iffe—eurvivAl itself b really at stake.

My answer Is: “'When all people change their selfish attltudee. Other wise I fear the new chronic eraployer- employee-consnmer conflict wUI con tinue”. Yet, Isn’t the employer also an employee and aren’t both consumers? So why not stop tbe silly bickering and settle down to do a good Job and profit from the results? Labor's Slams Much of the blame for the decline In productivity experienced in many Industries since the war properly longs to labor. The exIenslTe de velopment and nse of machines by American workmen enabled the United States to produce two-ftttha of the world’s Indnstrlal output prior to the war. Yet, labor unrest, manifest not only by strikes bnt also In prac tices to cut down output while on the Job, reduced ontpnt per man-hour nesu'ly 42 per cent from 1939 to 1945; In the long ago when the family made its own clothing, provided Its own food and built Its own shelter, mere survival demanded, that each member contribute hiq share of labor. Reduce our ooasplaa eoqoomle strao- tore to the almple terms of primi tive society and the reason for the current economic muddle Is crystal clear and the solution obvious. High productivity it the only method of assuring ourselves of a superior standard of living. Employsr's RsaponsiWIity Research should play a malor part In every employee’s program. He must at all times keep abreast of ad ditional sources of materials, h'ew ideas and modern methods. He must be ready and willing to make innova tions which will provide employees with the methods and tools necessary to produce more, and better, goods. And he must merit the respect and confidence of worker^. The pressing need for commodities and tools of all kinds promises a golden era for producers in the months immedidtriy ahead. Long and hard usage have rendered much equipment beyond repair and ready for the scrap pile. Money is plentiful and people are In a mood to boy. Now Is the time to produce and release those necessities — yes, * and even luxuries—which contribute so much to the well-being and happiness of the people of the world. Coneumtrs Must Play Their Psii Now, a word to consumers. We have waited long and patiently to replace our worn-out materials; but let as remember that some 140,000,000 other people in this country also need to replestoh their saiHpliee. Hence, we should not make all our pnrchssee at one time. We should buy only what we need for use over a reasonable period and give onr neighbors a chance to have a share in the pro ducts a* they come Into the market. We wast remember, too, to watch prfosa. The Immediate future wUl be parUealarly ciitcial. Potential de vastating inflation lurks behind tte price we are willing to pay for the things we bay. Therefore, before buy ing anything let us be snre that 14 to necessary to have it We should take a long-range outlook. Prices paid now may weU determine the kind of eoon- try in wblch we shall live five yeun hfinaM aen^ -4 .[j Cenelaeien Th4retora,Vl pleed with all—em ployer, employee, consumer—to pull together now In time of iieace as we did In time qf war.
