« FRIDAY, MAY 29, II953 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE FI YE McCarthy ••Sen. McCarthy* ANSWERS -rj : Q. Senator McCarthy, you very recently m^tde a speech in which you strongly criticized Britain’s former Pi?ime Minister, Clement Attlee, fof* a speech which he made in ttoe British House of Com mons. Why did you object to Att lee’s speech? A. Pot a number of reasons. For example, he was quoted by the press as having stated that while he agreed with the proposal for a peacef conference by the heads of the various countries “he doubted the wisdom of President Eisen hower's attendance” and that “the presence of any American would only hinder talk.” As I stated at the time, I was not so much con- cenyed by what Attlee had said. This sort of thing could be ex pected from Attlee, from Mao Tse Tupg, or from Moscow. However, I was very deeply disturbed by the fafct that the Majority Party in Britain sat idly by and made no protest when the former Prime Minister suggested that this, na tion should not be represented at a peace conference. Apparently they forgot that the United States has suffered over 130,000 casual ties in Korea as compared to 3,- 700 British casualties. The fi nancial burden borne by the United States as compared to Great Britain is even more dis proportionate. According to the news reports, Atlee also critized the American people as being isolationists and our American Constitution as “not particularly well suited since it was framed for an isolationist State.” In this connection, I woul<| like to call attention to an article which appeared in the May 15th issue of “U.S. News & World Report,” in which there is set forth a careful review of the amount of foreign aid given by us since the end of the shooting part of World War II. The figures total $39,000,000,000. If you add to this the $6,000,000,000 of foreign aid which the President has asked for this year, it makes a total of $45,- 000,000,000. This figure is so un believably large that it is almost JOIN THE LOYAL ORDER MOOSE Now being organized in Newberry. Contact W. R. Kerr, Membership Director PHONE NO. 1 impossible for the human mind to picture it. Therefore, let me break the figure down. If we were to spread that $45,000,000,000 in for eign aid over the past 2,000 years —starting at a time before the birth of Christ—it would amount to a payment, of $22,500,000 per year. If the figure were broken down further, it would mean $61,- 643 per day or $42.80 per minute — $42.80 in foreign aid for each and every minute that has ticked off since a considerable period of time before the birth of Christ. Nevertheless, Britain’s Attlee says we are isolationists and in dicates that we are not doing enough for Europe. As I stated on the Senate floor, however, I feel that Attlee no more represents the English peo- plt than Acheson represented the American people. The British are our natural ally. If we could at tain all-out, wholehearted co operation between Great Britain and the United States, it would do much toward establishing world peace. However, "cooperation” between two great nations, if it is to be effective, cannot be a one way street. Benefits must flow in both directions. Q. During a recent Senate speech you referred to Britain’s former Prime Minister as “Com rade Attlee.” Does this mean that you have proof that he is a mem ber of the Communist Party? A. I, of course, have no way of knowing whether Attlee ever actually joined the Communist Party. He, however, is a publicly avowed Socialist and has publicly pledged himself to the Communist type program of overthrowing capitalism and abolishing all pri vate property. I showed the Sen ate and the newspapermen a pic ture of Attlee reviewing Com munist troops with the Communist General Miaja and Communist Commissar Anton. All three were pictured giving the Communist clenched fist salute. I afso pre sented to the Senate and to the press a letter in Attlee’s hand writing to the Communist Brigade in Spain in which Attlee praises the Communist soldiers for their devotion to freedom and uses the usual Communist jargon such as “workers of the world unite.” Q. You referred to Attlee's salute to the Communist soldiers as the Communist salute. Attlee stated that this is an anti-Fascist salue. Which is correct? A. To the best of my know- iedlge there never has been an “anti-Fascist” salute. The rais ed clenched fist is, and always has been, the official Communist salute since long before Attlee was born. Attlee knows this—he knew it at the time he was giving that salute to the (}ommunist x brigade he knows it now. John C.

Ticklers By George “Whom do I compliment for this excellent meal? That is. If I know what’s apod for me!” New Aiken Track To Open Sunday When the first sportsman-type racing cars roar around the new Aiken County Speedway this Sun day afternoon at 3 o’clock, a new kind of sporting event will come to Aiken County—one which goes well with the county’s era of the H-plant. Most of the Southeast’s crack drivers will be among those pilot ing the souped-up cars around the unique D-shaped half-mile track, highest-banked in the nation; and spectators who will see their first car race are promised plenty of thrills. Auto racing, which in just six years has jumped from a rag-tag affair to the third-largest sport in the United States, on the basis of paid admissions, is quite a change from horse-racing, which has been Aiken County’s major sport in the past. But Aiken County citizens, who have been scrambling to keep pace with the changes brought by the AEC’s Savannah River Plant, are looking forward to this new sporting event born of the me chanical age. . Sunday’s opener on the pine- ringedi track just off Highway 19 between Aiken and New Ellenton, will feature sportsman-type cars— usually 1937-40 models with limit ed modifications. However, of ficials plan to hold at least two Grand National Circuit races this year—for late model stock cars, several races for fully modified cars, and at least one race featur ing late-model American and European hard-top cars. All races are NASCAR-sanctipned, which means that the track will <iraw the top racing drivers of the country, and races will be run according to the high standards of the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing. Offering the largest money purse ever given for this type of racing, this first race at the Aiken County Speedway has understand ably drawn outstanding drivers. Among them are Johnny Deaver of Columbia, who drove car “16” to victory in the 200-mile modified race at Darlington last July 4th; Pete Hawkins of Newberry, Craw fish Crider of Abbeville, who has had three years of driving ex perience and is one of the most popular men on the tracks. Elgin Holmes of San Diego, now racing out of West Palm Beach, who was Southern Cali fornia stock car champion for 1952 and is the high point man of the Florida circuit, will be on the Aiken County Speedway next Sun day. Jimmy Roland of Newber ry, who has had four wins this year, will be on hand, as will Dan ny Ruff of Columbia, who has had two wins this year. J. V. Hamby of Columbia, point leader in 1952, will be piloting Ollie Hawkin’s “21-Junior,” one of the fastest sportsman’s cars on the tracks. Billy Franklin, Columbia, en trant, who has five wins this year, is a motorcycle racer as well as an auto driver. Among local drivers in Sunday’s race will be James Brazell, who will be pilot ing car 36 for Milner Super Gas. Two time trials will precede the main event, which will go 30 laps. Racing fans are expected to drive in from as far as 300 miles away, and there is ample seating for 4,000 in the bleachers. Races will be held each Sunday following the May 31st opener, and by early fall, seating for 10,000 will be available. The Aiken County Speedway is five miles South of Aiken on Highway 19—the “Bomb Plant Highway,” and four super highways lead to the track. The Mayor of nearby New Ellen ton, Lawrence McClain, has chal lenged Aiken’s Mayor Charles M. Jones to a friendly “race” around the track to open Sunday’s fes tivities.
