NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1951 + $1.50 PER YEAR A MAD WORLD “It is a aiad world, my mast ers!'' says a character la one ol bnakespeare's plays. Tne tiani ol Avon uied centuries ago, Lmi mat particular ooservaiion is luu percent timely now. We aie nuvt engaged in a con- llict witn a nation which was our ally a lew short years ago, tne soviet hnion. At the same Ume, theie is more and inoie con- siueiation ot the possinnity 01 re arming and enlisting as new allies tne principal nations against "wnicli we lought the greatest war In history, Germany and Japan. So lar, Germany has shown small enthusiasm lor this idea. A joke which has been making Che rounds in that torn and bat tered country goes like tnis, “in another war, tne Lniied states will lurnish the air lorce, Britain will lurnish, the tleet, Fiance will lurnish the ground troops, and Germany will lurnish the war criminals.’’ Every evidence indi cates that the majority oi Ger mans hate and tear the Russians. But, at the same time, they have little love for the Western occupy ing powers. They are a proud people and it is prooable they would willingly rearm and take up martial ways again only it their country was freed and given full standing in the company ol nations. Japan presents a different situ ation and a diiierent problem. There the occupation has un doubtedly been more successful than anywhere else. Due may or may not like MacArthur and his policies and attitudee, but it cannot be denied that he has ob tained results. He has been greatly aided by the cooperation of the Emperor. In Japan, em peror-worship has existed for thousands of years, and it ex ists today in almost as pure a form as ever. Where do the people of Japan stand in the current world con flict? There is a militant com munist party In Japan, but it eeems to have made small head tfbn ts authoritarian, but it rep resents an entirely different philo sophy of authoritarianism than does communism. If the present Japanese Prime Minister, Shigeru Yoshida, Is correct, Japan is “def initely and irrevocably” on the side of the free world. ^ Mr. Yoshida writes in the .January issue of Foreign Affairs, “We are ready and anxious to Join, do our full share and make sacrifices, if necessary, in any arrangement for international co operation under United Nations’ auspices to ensure the security of tlje Pacific as well as Japan.” He writes further that the dif ferences in aim between demo cracy and communism are “abso lutely irrconcilable” and that “any attempt at appeasement or com promise on the part of the free nations is unthinkable.” Japan, of course, wishes a peace treaty—a technical state of war still exists between her and 49 other countries. Mr. Yoshida points out that the Soviet Union has refused consent to a tready, and urges a separate peace with the 44 nations outside the present Russian orbit. And here he makes this obstrvation: “We do not know what will be the conditions of peace. This is a treaty Japan will conclude as a defeated nation for the first time in her history, and it is likely to prove a bitter pill for us to sw’allow. But we are prepared to take our punlsh- 4 ment. M Japan has been 100 percent dls- - armed. But Japan Is the key to . Pacific, and it is very pos sible that she will again be made into a military power. And there is one interesting fact in this con nection; Japan Is the only mod ern nation which has defeated Russia in war, even though that war was a small one by today’s standards and was concluded with a single naval engagement. Seed Plants For Breeders of Quail Newberry county land owners who are interested In the preser vation of feeding and increasing quail on their farms have been allotted a limited amount of bi color lespedeza plants. 50,000 plants were allotted through the Supervisors of the Newberry Soil Conservation district, 50,000 thru the Newberry county Wildlife Committee, and 25,000 to the 4-H club members, These plants are produced and distributed by the South Carolina department of Game and Fish. Applications for these plants may be obtained and submitted to either the Newberry Soil Conservation office or the County Agent’s office. All appli cations will be transmitted to the State office in the order they are received as long as the supply lasts. P. B. Ezell, County Agent, says that the bi-color lespedeza Is a perennial bush type legume that produces a heavy seed crop each year w r hich are available for quail food during the winter and spring months when other food is ex tremely scarce. Quite a number of farmers have found that quail seem to prefer It to most other foods and where it Is grow r n quail are usually found feeding In or near It during the fall, winter and spprlng. Detailed instructions for land preparation and planting will be given along w T ith the de livery of the plants. Thurmond Given A New Cadillac COLUMBIA, Jan. 16—Outgoing Gov. J. Strom Thurmond and his wife were show r ered with hun dred dollar bills and a new (Cadillac) automobile today by personal and political friends. “None of them figure they are buying oats for a dead horse,” former Mayor Leon Moore of Spartanburg said as he handed Thurmond keys to the four-door black sedan. A crowd of about 100 state of- ficals, employees and others gath ered at the executive mansion for the presentation cefmonies. “I’m floored,’’ Thurmond de clared. “This Is the biggest sur prise I have ever received.” Moore told Mrs. Thurmond he had heard she was “about to be ejected” and that friends “thought it might be well to get something for use In your home”—counting out five $100 bills into her hand.

Slayer of Eight Taken in Mexico TIJUANA, Mex., Jan. 15—Wil liam E. Cook, Jr., a 23-year-old Missouri desperado suspected of killing eight persons, surrendered without resistance to Mexican po lice today. About the same time five bodies, dientifled by the FBI as members of the Carl Mosser fam ily whom Cook is charged with murdering, were recovered from an abandoned mine shaft near Jo plin, Mo., the badman's home town. Cook’s first statement to news men after his arrest was: “I didn’t shoot any one that 1 know of.’’ Despite this protestation of in nocence, arrangements were made for his Immediate delivery to U. S. authorities. Cook was taken to the inter national border from the Tijuana, Mex., police station. He walked across the U. S. side and into the arms of the waiting Federal Bureau of Investigation agents. Heavily handcuffed. Cook was flown here from a desolate area 300 miles south of the border. He w'ore a leather jacket and gray trousers. Located wdth Cook and also flown here were two missing El Centro, Calif., prospectors, For rest Damron, 32, and James Burke, 33. They were believed to have been abducted by Cook. The gruesome finds In the Jop lln mine shaft capped the climax of the tw r o-week’s manhunt for Cook himself.

In the minds of most, there had not been a governor of James F. Byrnes’ stature in years, nor w ould there be another for ^jthe next half century. > The moment the former t&v'S. Secretary of State said the “I do" that signified the beginning^ of his four-year term as gov< there wef« cheers and appi from the estimated 66,000 sons who stood around the -Mg wooden Inaugural platform > In front of the State House. f THOUSANDS LINE ROUTER Many other thousands lined the route of an hour long parade fea turing automobiles from every county in the state and bands and marching units from most of them. The weather today was near perfect for the inauguration, ex cept for a chill wind which whipped through the inaugural platform. The sun peeked from behind the State House dome Just about the moment Mr. Byrnes spoke. Three hours before the inaugur al ceremony started, a crowd be gan to collect in front of the State House. When Mr. Byrnes was escorted to the platform at 11:24 a.m., there was a sea of spectators crowded around the State House. The 2,000 or more seats in the especially erected stands were packed. Shortly befbre noon Federal Judge C. C. Wyche administered the oath of office to Mr. Byrnes, his former law partner. He wish ed Mr. Byrnes “good luck.” Governor Byrnes began his speech about 11 minutes before the scheduled hour. The reason w T as, it was reported, he did not want the huge crowd to have to wait in the cold the extra min utes. Governor Byrnes went intyvbis inaugural addreML,, touching en ‘ - Af fairs. He spoke deliberately, per haps a little more rapidly than usual, emphasizing important points in his address with a point ing finger, or a whacking motion of his arms. Applause Interrupted him six times. In addition to light ap plause at other points And there was a round of applause at the end of his message. He called his audience “my friends of South Carolina.” Grate fully, humbly and “with God’s help’ 1 he said “it is my purpose and determination to give to this state and the people I love tha best that is in me.’’ The Music Club's January Meeting The Newberry Music Club held the January meeting on Tuesday evening.

The program topic was “Music In the Arts and Professions.” Dr. Kinard dealt with four phases of the subject. In Part one he dealt with "Music in Industry.” He said that the ancient Greeks, and Bay- lonians as well as the American Indian understood the value of music in industry. He pointed out that John Wannamaker pro vided the great pipe organ in his store in Philadelphia, not so much for the benefit of the public as for the employees. He called attention to the work of Thedore Vosburgh had accomplished In Midland, Mich., at the Dow Chem ical Company. He has charge of all the music In this great Industry. He conducts the Dow Symphony Orchestra, Male Chorus, the Madrigal Singers, and other organizations. Part Two dealt with “Music In Therapy.” Dr. Kinard introduced Professor William Hunt who told some inte istlng facts about the value of n»uslc in treating mental and physical diseases. He point ed out that many musical groups, Including the National Federation of Music Clubs, are making studies of music In therapy, and that the state of Michigan is sup porting a school for training mu sicians for this type of work. In Part Three, Dr. Kinard spoke about “Music in Crime Preven tion.” He said that Denver had no delinquency, and gave as one reason the fact that the city maintains a 1600 member band, composed of boys from ages seven to sixteen years. Part Four dealt with “Music In the Arts.’ 1 Dr. Kinard stated that Pythagoras, the Greek philos opher, through his experiments with sound, tone relationship, and vibrations had given us a series of valuable mathematical formu la*- ’ . .......

Purcell, chairman of the New berry County Chapter for the National Infantile Paralysis Drive, calle don all residents of the county to assure continuation of the fight against Infantile paralysis. The local March of Dimes drive Is being sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce, with Its oresident, Ralph Blackwell, act ing as Newberry County Chair man for the 1951 drive. “The March of Dimes -lasts a little over two weeks,” Mr. Pur cell said, “But in that short time we can help thousands of polio paitents for whom recovery is measured in terms of 10, 20 to 60 weeks, or longer. I think we owe them the two weeks of our own efforts, it is little enough if we can save some child from a life-time of paralysis,” Your dimes and dollars given to Newberry County March of Dimes will enable the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis to give help promptly to every polio patient in need. Half the money raised remains with the local Chapter for local paitents. Mr. Purcell said thq Chapter spent approximately $800 on the four new cases In New berry county for 1960, and a lit tle over $600 on old cases, “We still owe about $600 for treatment for new and old cases, for 1950 which was borrowed from the Na tional Foundation, said the Chair man.
