THE NEWBERRY SUN
PAGE THREE
ORIOSIDENT Eisenhower has
* made the move predicted by
observers in Washington, namely,
•xerted his influence to save his
program and his leadership.
The move was made because
little legislation has gone to the
President for signature and time
is growing short. Congress would
like to go home in August and the
White House is willing if legisla
tion enactment gets back on
schedule.
The big question has been tax
reduction which the President does
not want. Fighting him on this
issue has been Daniel A. Reed,
chairman of the House Ways and
Means Committee.
The President took an old and
proven way of exerting his in
fluence. He took his side of the
story to the people in a nation-wide
television program. His course:
firmly aga'inst any tax reductions
r before next January.
It is now generally believed the
President will get his way.
« Sen. Robert A. Taft has given
William F. Knowland of California
the job of senate majority leader,
although “Mr/ Republican” has
made it clear he will still issue the
orders and expects Senator Know-
land to carry them out.
Taft will keep the title, power
and prestige of the post, but by
naming the Californian as his work
horse, the Ohio senator has indi
cated his choice as a successor.
The move was made because of
Taft’s health.
• The official announcement
that the nation’s wheat supply will
reach the surplus level unless there
is an unforseen major develop
ment brings another problem to
Secretary of Agriculture Benson
for solution.
It means that the secretary, a
foe of government controls, faces
the prospect of putting restrictions
-marketing quotas—on wheat.
Growers have approved 1954 con
trols for tobacco and peanuts. Cot
ton may also hit the surplus class.
There is also a possibility that
com supplies may hit the surplus
mark.
If these tilings materialize it
will mean that Benson may have
to apply crop restrictions on more
items in a single year than any of
his predecessors.
The report forecast a wheat crop
of 1,132,500,000 bushels this year.
This is about 232 million bushels
above the level which might per
mit an escape from quotas. With a
reserve of 575,000,000 bushels from
previous crops, the nation has a
prospective record wheat supply of
more than 1,700,000,000 bushels.
• Washington sources are warn
ing mothers and fathers of men
fighting in Korea not to expect
their sons, husbands and brothers
home the next day if a peace is
signed. It will take several months
to get the plan into full operation
and some may have to remain on
duty in that war-torn country many
months.

ANSWERS
Q. What is the. purpose of the
Bermuda conference?
A. This is to be a conference
between President Eisenhower,
Winston Churchill, and a repre
sentative of France. At the time
this is being written, the French
representative has not yet been
chosen. In view of the time lag
between writing the answezs to
these questions and the date they
are printed, the representative will
undoubtedly be selected and the
date for the conference set by the
time you read this.
The purpose of the Bermuda
conference is to plan a successful
defense against Communist ag
gression and thereby promote the
cause of world peace.
Q. Will Russia be represented
at the Bermuda conference?
A. Not directly. Obviously, of
course, Russia will attempt to get
her agents and sympathizers on
the staffs of the three countries
represented. She will attempt to
inject Russian thinking into this
conference in such a way as to
bring the greatest possible gains
to Russia. At this time it is im
possible to know whether she will
attempt to frighten the Western
powers or try to put them to sleep
by giving the appearance of being
willing to appease and work to
ward world peace.
In this connection, it should be
remembered that men like Alger
Hiss, Laurence Duggan (who
either jumped or was thrown to
his death), Frank Coe (who re
fuses to state whether he was a
Communist agent), Harry Dexter
White, Philip Jessup, Owen Latti-
more, John Stewart Service, Lau-
chlin Currie and Dean Acheson,
successfully advised and shaped
the course of action taken by the
previous administration, which re
sulted in almost unlimited damage
to America and success to Com
munist Russia.
For that reason, it is extremely
important that the staff members
who accompany the President,
should, under no circumstances he
any of the old Acheson policy ad
visors. Only Americans should
stand guard with our President at
Bermuda.
It is also very important that
the president and his staff at
Bermuda know the background of
the British and French represen
tatives of the conference. The
United States will, naturally, have
no say in their selection, but our
representatives can be guided and
Mrs. C. Mower Singley enter
tained with a bridge luncheon at
her home in Columbia, Thursday
morning, June 25, complimenting
her mother-in-law, Mrs. P. C. Sing-
ley. Members of Mrs.. P. C. Sing-
ley’s bridge qlub ^and the mem
bers of the club of Mrs. Mower
Singley, when she lived in Pros
perity motored to Columbia for
this lovely affair.
Lovely arrangements of gladioli
added their beauty to the Singley’s
new and attractive home.
After several progressions,
prizes were presented to Mrs. P.
E. Wise for high score; Mrs. J. S.
Wheeler, second high; Mrs. A.
R. Chappell, bingo; and Miss Ef-
fie Hawkins, floating prize. Mrs.
alerted by a thorough knowledge
of their past performances. For
example:
Where do they stand on the is
sues at Yalta, Teheran and Pots
dam?
Where do they stand on admis
sion of Red China to the U. N?
What is their background on
trade treaties and formal recogni
tion of Red China?
What personal relationships and
contacts have they had with their
opposite numbers in the Russian
or satellite regimes?
What have their public utter
ances been on points dealing with
Communist regimes? '
Q. What part will or should
the Congress take In the Bermuda
conference?
A. The very least the Congress
can do is to insist that “open cov
enants, openly arrived at” will be
the program rather than another
secret agreement like those of
Yalta, Teheran and Potsdam.
Q. What do you think about
Syngman Rhee’s release of the
27,000 anti-communist prisoners of
war??
A. I feel strongly he not only
had the right but the duty to re
lease those prisoners.
Keep in mind that he did not
release Chinese Communist prison
ers. He released young Korean
men who wanted to .fight against
the Communists. It Is inconceiv
able that he would agree to hav
ing them cooped up in prisoner
of war compounds and, as pro
posed by the UN truce team, lec
tured for months by Chinese Com
munists and then released only if
the five nation team could not
agree on their disposition.
The five nation team consists of
two nations friendly to the tree
world, namely, Switzerland and
Sweden; two iron curtain nations,
Poland and Czechoslavkia and a
fifth nation, India, who has rec
ently sided more often with the
Communist viewpoint than ours.
India, it should be remembered,
has recognized Red China and has
urged that Red China be admitted
to the United Nations. Under the
circumstances, an honorable man
such as Syngman Rhee had no al
ternative in the matter.

Summer brought many delights
to us kids in the stone hills. For
we had to make our fun, and sum
mer had so many things.
The common June bug was
very useful to us. We’d chase ’em
around the yard there, trying to
beat the chickens to them. The
chickens got most of them, but we
got some. We’d tie a small thread
to one of their back legs and ’em
buzz around us in circles. Even
tually the thing would tire and
drop to the ground or light on
us. Ocossionally, while one was
resting, a sly old chicken would
steal up and get him. Then we had
to chase the chicken down to get
our string back.
When Zeke and I were quite
small, once we got some tumble-
bugs we thought were June bugs.
But they wouldn’t do right. And
when the older boys found us
with them, we never heard the
last of it.
At all seasons we rode sticks
for horses. With a string tied to
the front of it, we imagined that
was the bridle. And we ran for
endless miles riding those things.
And to carry the illusion out a
little farther, we smaller ones
would ride double with the larger
boys, just like we did behind the
grown folks on real horses and
mules. One thing we coveted was
an old iron buggy tire. The black
smith at the foot of the hill would
occasionally have one worn too
thin for any other use, and he
would give it to one of us. We
fixed a hand stick with a notch
in it and with that we pushed
that tire around at a lively clip.
We would push that thing so
much we’d wear that stick out.
And we would get real proficient
at it. We could make that rolling
tire go anywhere we wanted it to ;
Little things, all of these were.
But they brought employment and
delights to barefooted country kids
in our time.
