EDUCATION WITH t NIXON As State Superintendent TO THE VOTERS OF SOUTH CAROLINA: False rumors have blamed me for reduction of certain teachers’ salaries under the present certification program and for other things which happened while I was overseas and with which I had no connection. I represent no plan of certification of teachers except that which will be in the interest of all teachers, better teaching, and better education for the children. , ^ The facts: The certification program gained its impetus in 1941, after I had entered the army, &hd while my present opponent was serving as President of the Teachers’ Associ ation. Furthermore, in September, 1944, after I had oeen overseas continuously for 26 months and while serving in France, my opponent was on the legislative commission of the Teachers’ Association. As a member of that Commission, he supported the present plah under which certain teachers salaries were cut, and also urged the removal of the office of State Superintendent of Education from the Democratic Primary. If there were discriminations against certain teach ers, these could have been pointed out by him.;. I shall give attention to all phases of the program to prevent cutting the salaries of those who have shown their excellence. Contrary to rumors, there are vital and distinct issues in the campaign for State Superintendent of Education. Do not be deceived by generalities that advocate progress without specification. All is NOT well with public education and cer tification of teachers. This is the issuer Are we to continue in the same old rut or are we to get vigorous, intelligent state-wide educational leadership with NIXON? ' ^^ I pledge, myself to work for the best interest of the children of South Carolina. To this end, I will work, among other things, for more adequate teachers’ salaries, a reorganization and coordination of the State Department of Education wherever needed and improved education facilities for veterans. Professional qualifications: AB degree from Furman Uni versity; graduate degrees from Wofford College and Colum bia University, former classrooih teacher, principal, local superintendent, county superintendent of education, and former president of State Teachers’ Association. Military record: World Wars II and I, Bronze Star medal, French Croix de Guerre/ Victory Ribbon with three cam paign stars. , „ * Civic qualifications: Member Lions Club; Baptist; Past Master Masonic Lodge; member of Richland Post No. 6, American Legion; Director of Richland Chapter of American Red Q r0SS I will go into office, unfettered and unhampered by prom ises to anyone, to work for the best interest of the children of South Carolina. Thanking you for the handsome vote given me, asking for your continued active support and pledging myself to serve patriotically in peace as I have served in both world wars, I am sincerely, w . D.

Above ay LYTLE HULL r Tfce Price of Weakneu ' G ENERAL Marshall says: — **W« have tried since the birth of our nation to promote our love of peace by a display of weakness. This course has failed us utterly, cost us mllliona of lives and billions of treasure.” That is as applicable to this moment as it has always been —more sol Today the world is divided into two treat camps, as distinct from one another in social and political theory—and in racial lines—as were Rome and Gaul at the time of Julius Caesar. Nothing apparently can recon* cile their differences except the elimination of one or the other of their ideologies—according, at least, to Lenin and Stalin. One Idea is founded upon the prem ise that man has reached a state of civilization which enables him to govern himself. The other maintains that man is as yet Incapable of so doing and that he must be “policed” by a small group of “superior” brains. We do not credit the advocates of this latter theory With sincerity: We believe It simply an excuse for the exercise of that unex plainable craving—found In all too many humans—for control of the lives and destinies of their fellow men. However this may bn. the fact re mains that the Slav V tbtalltarians who state unequivocally that cap italism must go, are now engaged in open psychological warfare with the feoh-Slav democracies. How long can such warfare continue before erupt ing into physical form? Russia and her Slav satellites would be incapable today of success fully opposing the United States and her potential allies in a prolonged military struggle; and the probabil ity is that Russia has no intention of either starting a physical contest or of allowing herself to be dragged Into one. She is playing for long stakes; she hopes for world conquest through psychological means; But if she is unsuccessful prior to the moment when she has reconstructed her physical resources (fifteen to twenty years), we may Just as well face the fact that we must then be prepared for a decisive civilization destroying war between Slav and non-Slav—unless the trend of hu man affairs radically alters in the meantime. Russia today Is capable of over running all of Europe—even in her weakened condition; but the know ledge that this nation would quickly Join the fray and drive her back in defeat would alone deter her. As long as we remain stronger than she is, she might not dare this venture: If we weaken ourselves again, as we have always done heretofore, our children—and many of us—will suf fer the dreadful consequences—AND THIS TIME THEY WILL BE DREADFUL! Is this nation being fair to Its youth? Ask General Marshall!
