COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
By SPECTATOR
South Carolina has many sons whose service upholds the
best traditions of our people; and we may rejoice in the fine
manhood which honors the State. In this I include the
womanhood of the State, of course.
Among those men and women are many who came to us
from other States but who have become so completely a
part of our life that they seem to have become native Caro
linians, as some one has said.
Sometimes a Carolinian makes his home in another State
and does his part there.
I am thinking of that fine gentleman, the late Judge A.
W ^10^^, for whom I had great respect and esteem. The
Judge passed away in Florida, but his service and example
were an inspiration to South Carolina.
On the day that Judge Holman left us another man of pub
lic spirit—a citzen of Lexington—went to his reward. The
passing of “Bob” Leaphart (C. E.) revives rich memories
of the Lexington County unit of the Farmers and Taxpay
ers League and the vigorous leadership of Dr. D. M. Cross-
on, Mr. J. E. B. McCartha and our friend “Bob,” who was the
secretary.
Once I was scheduled to speak at Chapin. W T hen I arrived
Dr. Crosson was speaking. He turned to me and said “I’ve
held them an hour and a half until you came.” Stout men,
those Lexington County Leaguers, eh ? The Doctor was
quite an orator, as well as one of those noble physicians who
responded to calls day and night within a region of many
miles.
One more incident connected with the Lexington unit of
the Leaque: I was to speak one night in Leesville. It was a
raw’ night. The late Richard I. Lane and I went together.
The windshield was caked with sleet and the wiper wouldn’t
work. Seventy five sturdy citizens met us. On our way to
Columbia, late and cold, “Dick” Lane said: “All I have to say
is that you and I are tough fellows to travel sixty miles a
night like this, but those men in Leesville were hard up
to hear a speech when they left nice warm homes and fine
suppers to come to that meeting.”

The Joanna Way comes to me and I find it very interest
ing. The Joanna Way is a newsy magazine published by
The Joanna Cotton Mills Co. of Joanna, South Carolina. By
th e way, the editor is Miss Mildred Bozard. May I ask Miss
Bozard when her family moved from the Four-Holes section
of Orangeburg County? If she wonders about my question
let me tell her that the family name has long been identified
with Orangeburg County, a great County, as every one
knows. And Miss Bozard is living in a fine County now and
is connected with a splendid enterprise.
Our South Carolina textile enterprises are thoughtful of
the comfort and welfare of their personnel; and in this no
enterprise is more considerate than the management of the
Joanna Mills. I have the honor to know the President, Mr.
W. H. Regnery of Chicago, and the vice president, Mr. Walt
er G. Regnery, who is the resident Manager. And I’ve had
long association with some of the staff.
The magazine is full of interesting items, but let me quote
one:
“On Washington’s birthday at historic Valley Forge,
Pennsylvania, Freedoms Foundation announced an honor
roll of American individuals and organizations to receive its
annual $100,000 Freedoms Awards. Each year Freedoms
Foundation, at Valley Forge, makes awards to American
citizens for their work in helping to bring about a better
understanding of the American Way of Life.
Among those receiving these national honors in recogni
tion of their efforts in upholding the ideal of freedom was
Miss Mildred Bozard, editor of The Joanna Way. A George
Washington Honor Medal was presented Miss Bozard for her
article entitled ‘What America Means To Us,’ which was
published in the September 1952 issue of The Joanna Way.
This article was selected as one of seven winners in the
United States in the classification in which it was entered
(magazine article category, limited circulation). F.B.I. Chief
J. Edgar Hoover was another of the seven winners in this
group.
Freedoms Foundation, chartered in 1949, is a non-political,
non-sectarian, non-profit organization. It is devoted to the
single purpose of granting awards to individuals and or
ganizations for their patriotic efforts in behalf of the herit
age of American Freedom. For the 1952 contest, over eight
tons of material was submitted with less than seven tenths
of one per cent of the contestants being declared winners.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower serves as honorary Na
tional Chairman of Freedoms Foundation.
The Joanna Way was also honored last year with a certi
ficate of merit Tor outstanding achievement in bringing
about a better understanding of the American. Way of Life
in 1951.’ ” .
Now I'm thinking of sending my application to Mi*. Walt
er Regnery. How's this:
‘Several weeks ago, Walter Regnery, vice-president of
Joanna Western Mills Company, stated that the Joanna Cot
ton Mills will be closed for the entire week of July 4th so
that all employees may enjoy a week’s vacation with their
families.
The vacation period will begin after working hours on
Saturday, June 27, and will end at 12:01 A.M. Monday, July
6.
Mr. Regnery further announced that, in keeping with the
policy of many years’ standing, this week’s vacation will
be with pay for those employes who have been continuously
employed from the first scheduled work day in July, 1952
through the last scheduled work day in June of this year.
This vacation pay will be based on two per cent of your
earnings for this twelve month period.
You may expect to receive your check for the week end
ing June 28 on Tuesday, June 30, at 9:00 A.M. Checks for
all employees on all shifts will be distributed at this time.
Employees may receive their checks in their respective de
partments. The vacation checks will be distributed at the
regular time during the week immediately following the
vacation period.
The management of Joanna* Mills sincerely wishes for
each of you a happy and safe vacation. Obey safety rules
while on vacation and you will find your trip made more
pleasant. Have a good time but come back refreshed after
a week of fun and rest.”
««<
The law is majestic. I recall that a great Judge and teach
er of law said to us: “Young gentlemen if your ideas and
the law do not coincide, change your ideas; the law is right.”
Well, well.
All students of Constitutional Law recall what is known
as the “Implied Powers.” That is that when the Constitu
tion confers a power it confers the powers necessary to carry
vout the original power. For example, if Mr. X says to Mr.
Y “Go to New York and see Mr. A. for me and arrange such-
and-such business,” it would be understood that Mr. X would
pay Mr. Y at least the expense of the trip. That would be
implied in business, but don’t strain it too far, for some
folk have and some have not a fine sense of obligation.
But what interests me at the moment is this considera
tion : if there is recognized such a practice as implied powers
in law, are there not implied restraints or restrictions, in
law ?
What am I talking about? The treaty-making power of
the President and the Senate was never intended as a device
to circumvent the plan rights of the citizens and the States.
That word circumvent—to come around—to defeat, is some
thing to think about.
In a vague, general way most citizens have understood
that we are governed according to laws enacted by States
and by the National Congress. In recent years we have
grown accustomed to regulations by our vast bureaucracy,
directives by Cabinet officials, and all manner of orders,
dispositions, interpretations and prognostications by various
and sundry; but now we are face to face with something
serious.
It is the treaty-making power. Under that power the
President and the Senate can by-pass the Constitutional
guarantees which we cherish. Now I submit that we need
a man like the illustrious Chief Justice John Marshall, a
jurist who will say today that while there are implied powers
there are mplied restraints and that no treaty shall be valid
which circumvents, or abridges, or denies, or otherwse runs
against, a constitutional guarantee or provision of what
ever kind, nature or degree.
We need a strong court of men steeped in the Constitu
tion; we do not need political henchmen or Party loyalty on
the bench. '
Beyond a doubt all the agreements, understandings and
commitments between our Presidents and foreign powers,
without formal sanction by the Senate, are repugnant' to
the Constitution and invalid; and now we come to ai pos
sible treaty, in due form, which will violate the constitu
tional rights of our people.
We must not depend on the good intention and high
character of President Eisenhower; we must safeguard our
rights and privileges by such legal buttresses as shall make
clear, plain, and explicit, exactly what is what, and beyond
any peradventure.
From the Windom Reporter,
Windom, Minnesota: No business
man in any town should allow a
newspaper published in his town
to go without his name being men
tioned somewhere in its columns.
So says the American Bankers
Magazine. This does not mean,
continues this writer, that you
should have a whole, half or even
a quarter page ad in every issue
of the paper, but your name and
business should be mentioned if
you do not use more than a 2-line
space. A stranger picking up a
paper should be able to tell what
business is represented in a town
by looking at the paper. This is
the best possible town advertiser.
The man who does not advertise
his business does an injustice to
himself and to his town. The man
who insists on sharing the*business
that comes to town but refuses
to advertise his own is not a valu
able addition to any town. The life
of a town depends on the live,
wide-awake and liberal advertis
ing businessman.
From The Lincoln Times, Lin-
colnton, N, C.: You’ll just have to
put up with Grandma if she’s do
ing a little gloating. Modern re
searchers and modern housewives
have just discovered what she has
known all her life and what,
in fact, John Heywood remarked
in 1546 that “The green new
broom sweeps clean.”
Laboratory study reveals that
the new broom does better than
the old, beaten-up job because
broom-corn (from which all effi
cient brooms are made) has hun
dreds of invisible “claws’’ on the
sweeping end. These claws pick up
the dust, dirt and lint and shove
it along where you want it to go
A broom is “old” when these claws
get worn down, and these scientific
laboratory tests show that a new
broom does as much sweeping in
two swipes as an old broom does
in seven or eight
And the gals who are just be
ginning to keep house on their
own, we hear, have discovered that
the old-fashioned broom is first-
aid to the new-fangled vacuum
cleaner. It gets into corners and
cracks and crannies more vigor
ously. It takes care of the litter-
cut paper, hunks of crayon, pencil
stubs, lollypop sticks and broken
toys on the playroom floor after
a rainy day; snippings and pins
and threat in the sewing room:
shavings, bits of wood, nails and
screws in Dad’s workshop—the
things that do not agree with the
digestion of the suction-sweeper.
We mention all this just so you
won’t be too surprised at the return
of the horse-and-buggy. But don’t
expect fringe on the top of your
new surrey It’s unsanitary.
Heard a fella’s mixed up a new shaving lotion that’s sup
posed to drive the girls crazy . . . smells like money.
When you throw mud at somebody you’re the one that’s
losing ground.

/^\LIN A. PALMER, JR., 5109 Ardmore Way. Baltimore, Maryland,
lost his right eye twelve years ago. Dejected? He says unless
you have gone through a similar experience, you have no way of know
ing the dejection he felt. He was only sixteen, and it was like losing
half of his life. It meant that unless he could overcome his handicap
he was destined to be a failure.
One day in a book about worrying he read “ever
green forests know how to bend, how to bow down
their branches, how to cooperate with the inevit
able.” These words stuck in his memory, and he
followed that philosophy. Instead of worrying about
his loss, he told himself how fortunate he was to
have one good eye. Rather than feel bad because
he had lost half his sight, he realized how fortu
nate he was that he wasn’t totally blind. In other
words, he “cooperated with the inevitable.”
Since that fatal day he has served three and one-
half years in the army, traveling all over the coun
try. He is a graduate of the University of Denver, from which he re
ceived an A.B. degree, and a graduate of the Southwest Photo-Arts
Institute, and he says he is going right ahead bettering himself month

L AST October In a speech at
Memphis, Tennessee, Presi
dent Eisenhower praised T. V. A.
and said it “has helped conserve
national resources, control floods
and promote national defense.”
As a result of that speech he
received a large vote In the Chat
tanooga and Knoxville areas. In
fact, he carried those areas which
are usually heavily Democratic.
In a more recent speech, how-
sver, the President has criticised
r. V A. and used it as an example
Df “creeping socialism.” This crit
icism Is having a bad reaction in
Tennessee. Alabama, Georgia,
Kentucky. North Carolina, Vir
ginia and Mississippi, states served
by T V A. The reaction is being
felt in Washington and may have
a direct result on congressional
elections to 1954
A number of influential newspa
pers, who have supported the Pres
ident’s program thus far. have tak
en issue with him on the subject of
T. V. A. They are pointing out
that:
(1) T. V. A. has repaid the Fed
eral Treasury $181,131,519 since
1944. Every penny will be repaid
by 1992.
(2) T. V A. is more than $9,000,-
000 ahead of schedule In Its pay
ment to the federal government.
(3) After paying taxes, operat
ing costs and allowing for deprecia
tion, T V A. is showing a new
earning of 4.3 per cent on money
which the government borrowed at
2 per cent. In other words, the
government is making a profit of
2.3 per cent.
The kindest reaction to the Presi
dent’s latest statement concerning
T V A to the seven states men
tioned is that he is “mistaken
about his facts.”

A number of conclusions have
been reached by political observ
ers who watched the East Ger
many riots that todicates . there
was. after all. sound reasoning
behind Russia’s recent peace bids.
(1) Russian leaders realized that
East Germany’s puppet regime
and other satellite governments
have been built on shaky founda
tions. It was time to ease the ten
sion In these countries
(2) There is some measure of
discontent to the Soviet Union It
self and the average Russian does
not want a war with the West.
(3) Russian leaders realized the
only way to increase living stand
ards to the Soviet Union find its
satellites, and thus make the dis
contented contented, would be to
turn Its industrial facilities from
war to peace-time production This
cannot be accomplished'unless the
huge supplies sent Red China are
cut back sharply For that rea
son peace to Korea was of top
most importance s
(4) The Chinese people nave
been almost continuously at war
with someone for almost 30 years.
No country can make much prog
ress under such conditions/ The
Chinese people are beginning to
want some, of the better things of
life that can be had only during
peace times.
These, say the experts, are
some of the main reasons behind
Russia's peace offensive of the
past few months.

Q—If the U. S. should enter a Pacific alliance modeled after the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), would we have to
send troops to fight in French Indo-Chma?
A—As Sen. H. Alexander Smith (R.-N. J.) pointed out recently, the
NATO treaty provides that an attack on any member will be con
sidered an attack on alL If France and the U. S. agree to a sim
ilar pact in Asia, the Communist Viet Minh forces theoretically
would be attacking us, and we probably .would be obligated to send
armed forces in addition to the aid we now give. Smith agreed
with Sen. Robert A. Taft (R.-Ohio) that a NATO-type set-up in Asia
would be a good thing, but said he didn’t think we would have to
promise as much as we do on the other side of the world.
Q—Did Sen. William F. Knowland (R.-Calif.), the acting Senate ma
jority leader, support Gen. Eisenhower at the Republican conveifc-
tion last summer?
A—No. Until Eisenhower had already won, Knowland stood by Gov,
Earl Warren (R.-Calif.) _
Q—Can Congress order the UN Secretary-General not to hire an Amer
ican leftist?
A—Not theoretically. The UN Charter forbids the Secretary-General
to accept direction from any national government. However, on
June 8 the Senate passed a bill to punish Americans who accept
UN jobs without FBI security clearance.
