' THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. ■WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS British Laborites Face Major Test; Lewis, Miners Clash With Old Foe; 11.$. to Continue Egg-Price Support (EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions are expressed In these eolnmns, they are those of , Western Newspaper Union's news analysts und not necessarily of this newspaper.) | BRITAIN: 'Warning Sounded The pledge of Anthony Eden, iBritish deputy Conservative lead- wr, who, with Winston Churchill Und other party big-wigs in today’s ielection, is hoping to overthrow jthe Labor party, that the Conser- ivatives will work with all nations ifor peace, might have meant more than it indicated. EDEN, being the astute world ^diplomat that he is, must know •that there are elements in many places, particularly the United iStates, who feel that there must be no further support of power for (the Labor party in England. With the Laborites’ position often regarded as the fostering of (socialism, the more conservative .people everywhere fear it. It has Ibeen an amazing thing to most stu dents of world history how the (British, traditionally jealous of (their liberties, ever permitted the imposition of this kind of govern- anent upon them. A reduction of •file answer to fundamentals might Uwpinln that it came about only (through the economic distress of the once proud and mighty empire. IT IS APPARENTLY assured that whatever the outcome, the |Labor party faces its severest test in today's election. Eden warned, in tjie first broad cast of a Conservative speech in jthe just-ended campaign, that the ’“United Nations is at its lowest (ebb, the democracies are forced (to pay dearly for armaments, and the nightmare of communism •talks through Asia.” He made a felling point in recalling that the (Labor party in 1945 declared that if it were returned to power, it •could get along with the Russians t>ecause of its Socialist ideology— .and how the world situation had Cone from bad to worse since then. OPPOSITION SPEAKER Labor- ite Fuel Minister Hugh Gaitskill, had told an audience at Leeds that the cost of socialism was high in Britain, and would remain high, but declared the cost worthwhile because under the Labor govem- jnent acute poverty has really been abolished.” That was a debatable point about Which the argument continued While' Britain voted. EGG PRICES: No Humpty Dumpty The American egg situation had no chance to rival the nursery Humpty Dumpty story, inasmuch as federal price supports were fixed •o that no such fall as occurred to the nursery-rhyme egg could hap pen to his modern counterpart. THE GOVERNMENT, which al ready owns some 100 million dol lars worth of eggs intended to keep busring them through March of year. The idea was to support the price at an average of 25 cents • dozen on the farm. The government's policy was Quaintly stated by one federal of ficial who summed it up with: “The hens are laying their fool heads off.” The farm price of 25 cents a was about 75 per cent of a level calculated to be equally fair to producers and con- Producers of dried eggs, statement said, would continue to get about 95 cents a pound. Most of the eggs the government >uys are dried. In the past two years it has accumulated about 73 million pounds of these eggs, most a price of $1.26 a pound. Some stored in « cool cave near Kansas. The rest are in louses in other sections of country. THE QUESTION of what to do them has become the major | The law permits the de- lent -of agriculture to give away if they are kept out of lercial, competitive channels, restricts them to welfare pur- and similar uses. Thundering Again m m m Wmm, Wk r AXATION: j 'Em All •Ph* treasury of the United States to put the tax bite on a lot itions which are not now any income tax on the op- of unrelated businesses, treasury made a request to that this be done, assert- that some labor unions, busi- social clubs and char- and educational organiza- were getting away with non- of tax that the treasury should be paid. N. Kirby, the treasury's itive counsel, made it however, that the adminis- tax program did not con- such tax treatment of bodies, except as they be affected in the operation of educational institutions. * He said the proposals would ap- to labor unions, business and social clubs, also emphasized that the tax was concerned “business income which or aelated to the M Like a stuck Victrola record or an old movie constantly re showing, John L. Lewis, mine union czar, was In the news again, this time with another coal strike on the boards. Lewis gestures as he appears before the conference table during contract renewal talks which broke down. PITMEN: An Old Foe An old and hated enemy was again at grips with John L. Lewis and his United Mine workers. After a delay which brought him sharp criticism, President Harry Truman had turned to the device he declares he hates in order to bring order out of the coal strike chaos. THERE WERE MANY who had begun to wonder if Mr. Truman— known for the stubbornness he em ploys when balked—ever would re sort to the T-H law to resolve the mine deadlock. Now that he has, it would cause much delight in the ranks of the political opposition. The T-H law, however regarded, has been used several times in na tional emergencies with an effect that gives it a real cause for be ing, whether anyone likes it or not. The miners, however, showed defiance. They still chanted the old traditional refrain: “No contract —no work.” And it looked like a contract agreement was far off as the President named a three-mem ber board of inquiry who would at tempt to restore peace in the troubled situation. TO THE BOARD, President Tru man named David L. Cole, Patter son, N. J., attorney who headed a similar board in 1948 that settled a bitter contract row between Lewis and the operators; John Dunlop, Harvard university busi ness school, and a veteran in labor management relations; and W. Willard Wirtz, Northwestern uni versity law professor and former chairman of the wage stabilization board. Theirs would be the difficult job, because John L. Lewis was a diffi cult man to deal with. He might be even more difficult since his three- day work week had reduced the nation’s coal stockpile to a two- week supply at the time of the strike. RED H-BOMB: Terrific Echo There was a sudden and dramatic interruption in all the talk about the hydrogen—or H-bomb. Just as everyone was pondering the fate of a world on which the monstrous weapon might be loosed, along came a report that the Russians already had it. The reporter was an Englishman, a Mr. de Courcy, who claimed that he had secret sources inside the iron curtain which told him what ever was going on. THE CLAIM was a bit rugged for the average American to ac cept, inasmuch as there was still no actual proof the Reds ever had the atomic bomb. Still, it was a nice, frightening topic of talk, and discussion was rather widespread. Naturally, the first impulse was a great rushing tq revamp all At lantic defense plans and, perhaps more naturally, to talk of greater U.S. outlay of arms for herself and the pact nations. Amid all the excitement ran an undercurrent of spy thrills and na tional menace with the disclosure that a German physicist, who had worked with the British in de veloping the A-bomb, had given secret information concerning that weapon to the Russians. Good Omen? As jitters mounted over reported leaks and treasonable acts con cerning the secrets of the hydrogen bomb, apprehensive officials and citizens were further disturbed by reports that a former clerk in the French consulate at Stettin, Poland, had confessed lie had led an espion age network that obtained informa tion on British military move ments. He was identified as Andre Simon Robineau. POLITICS: Sound & Fury The sound and fury of the up coming congressional elections was increasing in volume. If the Re publicans could make it stick, they (had found their issue: “Liberty against Socialism.” HOWEVER, it appeared the GOP was running into the same old (trouble—inability to get along. The |“me too” element, while pretend ing, or appearing, to have changed its collective minds, was, never theless chomping at the bit when called upon to embrace a more lib eral attitude. In an 11-day closed meeting, mem bers of the Republican national committee and house and senate Republicans attempted to iron out their differences. They had hoped that a proposed statement of “prin ciples and objectives” would serve to unify the party and serve as a basic platform for the cam paign electioneering Out of the welter of discord came these arguments within the party: Vigorous opposition to most of Mr. Truman’s Fair Deal policy. A middle-ground on U.S. foreign policy, advocating continuance of the bi-partisan policy, but sharply criticising the administration of it. Particular condemnation of "sec ret agreements” at Yalta and Pots dam. Opposition* to the spread of com munism. Denunciation of any socialized health program, wage and price control, the Brannan plan. RETURN to a balanced budget and repeal of wartime excise taxes. A fair price for the farmers’ products. That was the scaffolding for the platform which the committee hoped would satisfy all the Repub licans. First results indicated it will not. All of which would bring smiles to Democratic hopefuls, in asmuch as there is little hope for victory at all by Republicans who are divided. It would be tough enough if they were all united. FOREIGN AID: Bottomless Pit? The question of whether the United States ever would be freed of the burden of supplying economic aid to Europe was beginning to oc cupy the minds of many U.S. citi zens. With more than eight billion dol lars already spent on efforts to ward European recovery—that’s on the basis of released figures—and western European nations now asking for another four or five bil lion for the next two years, the astronomical figures were becom ing more astronomical. The apparent situation indicated that all the ERP supporters had to do in order to get more funds for European aid was to report “amaz ing progress” by the foreign na tions on the road to recovery, and immediately temper that with a “but”—the “but” being that more and more money would have to be spent “if” recovery were to be permanent. The Marshall plan is supposed to end in 1952, but the follower of U.S. foreign policy as it affects aid to needy nations would lay the “cus tomary eight-to-five” that the plan will not end in 1952. By that time, with crisis mount ing on crisis because of the immi- ence of the H-bomb and word that Russia already has it, it logically may be expected that there will be found multiple reasons for contin uance of aid to Europe to an extent whereof no man can see the end. Claims Rare Power Gertrud Voleynik, (right, •hove) shocked Berliners by claiming the power to raise the dead and heal the sick. She first amazed Berlin when she drifted in from eastern Ger man territory and issued an appeal to parents of recently deceased children to bring them to her for revival. There were no takers. The *’healer” is shown here attempting to cure a paralyzed woman who said she “felt much better” after treatment. EUTHANASIA: Case in Point Advocates of euthanasia—“mercy killing”—would find support for their views in the action of a Bridgeport, Conn., jury in acquitting blend Carol Ann Paight of the slaying of her cancer-ridden father. • A jury made up of all parents found the 21-year-old college girl not guilty of slaying her father. Carol Ann had fired a bullet through her father's head after it was learned he had only weeks to live. fa - ■ : ma m w? mm I £ i m WSMmm m \ Si: . : w:- : ; :v : mmm m m f&m mmmm : * m WmMi m mi mm ' azm v ■ sfes ■ mm: ■hr ;%.< mm. \ wmmm&m ■<> mm '■ • yd y ' i'j vv mm' wPyi- v* A JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED . . .
