New Scrap Drives
Arc Being Planned
Plans for intensified scrap collect
ion efforts during the winter in rural
areas are taking form throughout
the nation, as state and local sal
vage committees servey the results
of past campaigns and prepare for
future activities, it was said this
week by Mrs. R. H. Whight, chair
man of the Newberry county salvage
committee. In emphasizing the need
for undiminished effort in the rural
sections, Mrs. Wright said, “stress
the fact that our agricultural areas
are second only to industry as a
source of iron and steel scrap, and if
the steel mills are to operate at cap
acity throughout the coming months,
large tonnages of rural scrap must
continue to flow into the nation’s
scrap yards.
“Winter, they say, cannot be per
mitted to halt scrap collections any
more than it will be allowed to in
terfere with naval and military op
erations on all fronts. The men in
the fighting forces, it is pointed out,
will carry on despite rain, snow, ice
and mud, defense industries will con
tinue to operate regardless of wea
ther and scrap collection must keep
pace with both.”
Farm equipment dealers at their
annual state convention this fall are
expected to emphasize this new phase
of the scrap campaign. The imple
ment men, she said, have played an
important part in the National scrap
harvest, which has been responsible
for moving large tonnage of farm
scrap into productive channels, and
they plan to continue their efforts
throughout the winter months.
“Winter scrap collection is no pic
nic,” said Eric H. Marks, head of the
Farm Scrap Unit of the General
Salvage section in Washington, “but
neither is the job of the seamen who
man the ships of North Atlantic
convoys in bitter weather. We civil
ians, Marks said, “must do our jobs
with the same fortitude and disre
gard for personal comfort that is
characteristic of the men in the
aimed forces.”
Definite plans for the winter scrap
campaign will be announced by all
our county and local salvage chair
men before the present phase of the
National Scrap Harvest is completed
Mrs. Wright said.
TEACHERS WANT 15 PER CENT
MORE PAY
Columbia, Nov. 9.—A 15 percent
increase for 1943-44 in the salaries of
the state’s white and negro teachers
was requested today by State Super
intendent of Education Jas. H. Hope
in a hearing before the state budget
commission.
The department’s total request was
for $13,537,123, compared with a cur
rent appropriation of $11,780,806.
The University of South Carolina
asked for $441,367, compared with
$391,133 this year. Much of the in
crease was asked for raises insal-
aries of employees in the lower-in
come brackets.
Requests for increased appropria
tions for old age assistance, public
health work, the state’s medical col
lege and the state A. and M. (negro)
college at Orangeburg were also
heard as the commission continued
to gather information in preparation
for making recommendations to the
gereral assembly.
Representatives of the South Car
olina Old Age Pension association
asked an increase of $500,000 for
old age pension allotments, Repre
sentative W. W. Smoak of Colleton,
spoke for the association.
State Health Officer James A.
Hayne asked $345,000 for the state
board of health, compared with a
current appropriation of $282,000.
Dean Robert Wilson, of the state
medical college, said “the college
is confronted with a serious situation”
in the loss of teachers, technicians
and others, and said salary increases
were essential.
President M. F. Whitaker of the
state A and M (colored) college,
cited an enrollentof 1000 students,
a reduction in NYA funds and an in
crease in the cost of school mater
ials, and asked $143,001, compared
with $100,000 current allotment.
Governor-elect Olin D. Johnston
sat in on the hearings. Members of
the commission are Governor Jeffer
ies, Edgar A. Brown, and Winchester
Smith.

Kcitt'< Place Filled
Soliciting Continues
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 9—A state law
requiring payment of a $500 license
fee before labor can be recruited for
work in other states is unenforcable
against the United States govern
ment, Dr. Bowman F. Ashe, regional
director of the war manpower com
mission, declared today.
His statement was made in con
nection with the resignation of Jos.
L. Keitt as acting director in South
Carolina for the U. S. employment
service. Keitt resigned rather than
recruit labor in that state for Florida
farm work without paying a $500
license fe e required by South Caroli
na law. He said to do so would
subject his employes “to arrest.”
“If the United States employment
service must obtain business licenses
before operating in the counties of
South Carolina,” Ashe said in a state
ment issued by the regional office of
war information, “and failing to do
this is subject to prosecution in the
courts of South Carolina, the same
requirement would be also applicable
to tRe United States Marine corps,
the United States navy, the Panama
canal authority, and the civil service
commission—all of whom, in ac
cordance with the prosecution of the
war, are soliciting and recruiting
workers in South Carolina for ser
vice beyond the confines of the
State.
At Washington, War Manpower
Commissioner Paul V. McNutt said
he believed the situation in South
Carolina could be settled without
legal action.
McNutt said Keitt had been re
placed in South Carolina by Robert
Hines of the Atlanta regional office,
and added that Hines as acting di
rector would continue recruiting
workers for Florida’s seasonal crops.
LESS BEEF FOR CIVILIANS FOR
REST OF THE YEAR
Washington, Nov. 9—The office of
price administration reduced by ten
per cent today the quota of beef for
civilian consumption during the Oct
ober 1-December 31 quarter in order
to provide more beef for the armed
services and lend lease.
In its action today OPA ordered
slaughter houses to reduce their de
liveries of beef for civilian use to 70
pei'cent of deliveries durng the final
quarter of 1941. It said the action
wag recommended by the war pro
duction board’s food requirements
committee, headed by Secretary of
Agriculture Wickard.
In the further tightening of the
meat restriction order, OPA elimi
nated a provision for a “ten percent
average’’ under which a slaughterer
was permitted to over-run his beef
quota by ten percent in any quarter
and take this amount out of his next
quarter.
Slaughterers who have already ex-
ceded their quota for the October 1-
December 31 quarter will not be al
lowed to make furthr dliveries of
beef to civilians until January first.
The excess over the 70 percent quota
will be deducted from their quo.tas
for the first quarter of next year.

LOGUES MUST PAY
FOR THEIR CRIME
The death penalty for Mrs. Sue
Logue and George Logue of Edge-
field and Clarence Bagwell of Spar
tanburg for their part in the Sep
tember 17, 1941 murder of Davis W.
Timmerman, Edgefield county mer
chant, was affirmed by the South
Carolina Supreme court in a decision
announced in Columbia Monday, four
weeks after the court heard argu
ments in the case. / ,
Death in the electric chair for the
trio originally was scheduled for
last March 10th, but postponed by
reason of the appeal to the supreme
court.
A new death date was not set
yesterday, but the executions prob
ably will take place in December un
less further stayed by either a peti
tion to the supreme court for a re
hearing of the case or clemency from
the governor’s office.
Mrs. Logue, her terother-in-law,
.George Logue, an#-* Ifagwell were
convicted in Lexington county gen
eral sessions court last January in
a five-day trial that climaxed a
series of five voilent deaths that be
gan with the slaying of Wallace
Logue, husband of Sue, on Septem
ber 30, 1940.
Others who died in the bloody chain
of events were Sheriff Ward Allen
of Edgefield, his deputy, W. L. (Doc)
Clark, and Fred Dorn, a share crop
per on the Logue plantation, ten
miles north of the town of Edgefield.
All were killed in a gun duel at the
plantation home where the two
officers had gone to serve a warrant
on George and Sue Logue, charging
them with being accessories in the
Timmerman slaying.
George Logue is now under indict
ment for murder in connection with
the deaths of both officers; Deputy
Clark, according to a coroner’s in
quest, killed Dorn in self defense and
in line of duty. ,
Although indictments against the
two Logues and Bagwell, along with
Joe Frank Logue—former Spartan
burg city police officer and a nephew
of the Logues of Edgefield—were
returned in Edgefield general court,
Trial Judge G. Duncan Bellinger’ of
Columbia granted a change of venue
to Lexington county because of the
feeling in the community against the
Logues.
FIX DRAFT STATUS OF
FARMERS
Columbia, Nov. 8.—A specific yard
stick for use in determining what
farmers or farm workers may be
granted deferment by selective ser
vice boards will be laid down in a
program now being prepared by the
war manpower commission, the state
Office of War Information has been
informed. This program will be put
into effect by the commission to
maintain and increase production on
livestock, poultry and dairy farms
by stabilizing employment.
Outstanding points of the program
are: Selective service recommenda
tion for deferment of farmers and
workers on such farms; army and
navy agreement not to accept enlist
ment by such individuals; govern
ment directives to war contractors
not to hire them, and assistace in in
creasing production and in putting
additional farm land to such pro-
ductio.
The program would apply to those
who work most of the time the year
’round at dairy, and poultry or live
stock production. The size of the
farm involved is of prime importance.
For deferment of one skilled opera
tor it must have at least twelve
dairy cows with minimum annual
production of 45,000 pounds of milk,
or the livestock or poultry equivalent.
It is possible for a farm with less
livestock to qualify. For example, a
farm with eight dairy cows produc
ing at least 30,000 pounds of milk a
year, or with the equivalent in other
animal units, can qualify if the op
erator takes step? to increase the
number. He will have three months
to increase by two cows, or the equi
valent, and three more months to
increase the total to twelve cows, or
the equivalent.

RIOT QUELLED IN FLORENCE
Florence, Nov. 8.—Twelve negroes,
including several soldiers stationed
at the local air base, today are in
jail as the result of a riot which
flared in the negro section of the
city last night.
The disturbance was created when
a negre soldier resisted arrest by
police officers. The authorities re
ported that Policemen Taylor and
Burton attempted to arrest the negro
soldier and on his resistance other
negro soldiers surrounded the police
men and kpocked Officer Burton to
the ground.
The soldier whose arrest had been
attempted then showed signs of fight
and the word spread thru the neigh
borhood. The two officers managed
to hold back the surging-crowd with
their pistols until help arrived.
The authorities said that by this
time the negro population of the
section had become so unruly that
the entire available police force was
called out and bolstered by the fire
department, the state highway patrol
and military police. The law en
forcement agencies were called in to
help combat the situation by Acting
Mayor R. F. Zeigler.
In quelling the riot the officers had
to resort to sub-machine guns, tear
gas and other means, but no one was
injured seriously. It was estimated
that nearly 1,500 negroes were on the
scene before the situation was clear
ed. The authorities were high in
their praise of the work of the men
who handled the riot and restored
order.
The general roit was preceded by
a fight earlier in the night, and it
was after midnight before complete
order was restored. Following the
disturbance military police were sta
tioned on the scene as a precaution
ary measure against a renewal of
the outbreak.
The riot guns, hand grenades, sub
machine guns and other equipment
were recently acquired by the police
department, and this was the first
real use the officers have had for
them. ,
MANY ATTEND METHODIST
“FAMILY DAY.”
Central Methodist church observed

gregation through all of its organi
zations had raised more than $8000.
Since the morning service the pastor
has completed his reports for the
annual conference. Several items
not included in the Sunday morning
report have come in, raising the to
tal contributions of the church for
the year to $10,967. There has also
been a substantial increase in mem
bership during the year and for the
four-year period. During the pres
ent year 47.people have beco^ne mem
bers of this congregation, more than
half of them on profession of faith.
During the four-year pastorate more
than 200 have come into the member
ship-
The annual conference will begin

church, Chester, on Wednesday
morning. The sessions will run thru
Sunday afternoon and there will be
no preaching in Central church next
Sunday. The church school will

TAX MORATORIUM PLAN IS
PROPOSED
Washington, Nov. 8.—A year’s
moratorium on new taxes was pro
posed today by Senator Vandenberg,
Republican, Michigan, high ranking
member of the senate finance com
mittee.
At the same time, lie urged that
immediate steps be taken to insure
the sale of five times as many war
bonds as now are being bought.
Declaring that direct taxes assess
ed as a result of the new revenue
bill approach the “danger line” for
both individuals and corporations,
Vandenburg told reporters he believ
ed congress’ next great problem was
to find adquate and prudent methods
for the nation wide absorption of
government bonds.
Secretary of the Treasury Mor-
genthau announced before passage of
the revenue bill that he would ask
congressfor an additional $6,000,000-
000 in taxes. Vandenberg said fie
would oppose any fundamental alte
ration in the tax structure, insisting
that action be limited to closing loop
holes, correcting inequities, improv
ing methods of collecting at the
source and installing the so-called
Ruml plan for payment of taxes on
a current basis.
Vandenburg’s views on this point
were accorded significance since they
appeared largely representative of
the senate minority whose strength
in the new congress convening in
January will increase materially as
a result of the elections.
“The country should have a year
in which tc adjust itself to the latest
tax bill,’’ Vandenberg declared.
“These new taxes already approach
the danger line so far as ordinary
corporate existence is concerned, just
as they also drive close to the sub
sistence line for millions of our peo
ple.”
Calculating this year’s govern
ment deficit at close to $50,000,000,-
000 after collection of $25,000,000,-
000 in taxes Vandenberg said the
levying of $6,000,000,00 more in taxes
was much less important than was
the problem of collecting the $50,000-
000,000 which the treasury must bor
row from as many individual bond
holders as possible.
“This involves ten times as much
money as could possibly be squeezed
out of the American hide in the
form of new taxes superimposed up
on those already voted,” be observed.
“Certainly it requires us to leave
American business as a going con
cern to carry this load—and we are
already warned by the war produc
tion board that we have already gone
to the tax limit for sustaining a
healthy national economy.
“Certainly it requires us to leave
the individual taxpayer with some
sort of margin with which t* face
these other unavoidable responsibili
ties. What we need now and what
we cannot escape is a practical pro
gram for the nation-wide distribution
—as far as possible in the hands of
private investors—of a least five
times as many war bonds as now are
being subscribed.”
He said the answer to this prob
lem appeared to lie in some form of
compulsory savings, although he was
not prepared to outline a program
at this time.
