VOTE ^BUT WISELY
The ChrofMcle is a Democratic newspaper. 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

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. A deep aware-
neaa of mid its impkioations, can help us. to accept the
new.thinJ^ b now called for. It can help^^wmbat

“How much longer will It be before
We can e^oy our rightful standard of
living?'’ This Bummarlseir the ques-
tioDB with which I am being bomterd*
ed. 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
