D AVID WAYNE has given up oh
“Norby” and Ray Milland has
given up on his TV series . . .
Robert Cummings, meanwhile, who
was so completely lost in a bird-
brain show called “My Hero,” has
come back in a hilarious program
far more worthy of his talents
. . . Stars these days no longer
wait for the sponsor to drop mat
ters . . . They seem to take more
artistic pride in their work and if
the show doesn’t measure up at
the outset they bow out and wait
for something more to their liking,
which is a healthy sign in television
. . . Now if only Charles Farrell
would retire to his millions the air-
lanes would be free of “My Little
Margie,” a real monstrosity if ever
there was one.
PLATTER CHATTER
CAPITOL:—More wonderful disc-
albums in Arthur Murray’s Society
Fox Trots featuring Nat Brand-
wynne and his ork . . . Songs in
clude “Cheek to Cheek,” “Mine,”
“Do You Ever Think of Me?” “It’s
De-Lovely,” *T Won’t Dance,”
“From This Moment On” and
others . . .Ray Anthony has a honey
in “Golden Horn”. . . He plays
“Amor,” “Trumpet Sorrento,”
“Skylark,” “HoUday for Strings,”
“The Brave Bulls,” “Birth of the
Blues,” “Tango La Paloma,” “Tak
ing a Chance on Love,” “It A’int
Necessarily So,” and “Jeepers
Creepers,” about as fine an assort
ment as you’ll ever find. /
In the small fry department, Cap
itol has some fine discs in “Peer
Gynt’s Adventures on the Stormy
Sea,” “Peer Gynt’s Adventures in
the Hall of the Mountain King,”
and “Peer Gynt’s Adventures in
Arabia,” all performed by the Con
tinental Symphony Ork and nar
rated by Art Gilmore.
Hopalong Cassidy is out with the
“Big Ranch Fire,” a valuable les
son on fire safety and Gisele Mao
Kenzie sings children’s songs from
France . . . Walt Disney’s “Lady
and the Tramp,” based on the
movie with the original cast* intact,
is now available on wax and Mel
Blanc’s latest is “D-o-g spells Dog,
D-O-G.” All wonderful for children.

L OTS of folks make a hobby of
keeping their ears tuned to
high frequency so they can discover
what other people are griping about
and then hop on the bandwagon—
whether they have a personal in
terest in the situation or not.
What I am about to say probably
puts me in that category for the
moment, since I am not a dyed-in-
the-easy-chair television fan. The
fact that I am even less a critic
probably makes it worse, but the
column must be written.
I have long sympathized with the
problems of the television industry
as it worked its way to the “one
in every home” stage while critics,
reviewers and just plain people
spread the word near and far that
the majority of TV presentations
were unfit for human consumption
and televisionitis was sure to de
stroy the intellect, vision and mo
rale of the new generation.
The industry weathered this
storm in fine fashion, is now bat
tling the criticism being leveled
against commercials, the very
, thing that keeps TV going. Me—
I’m realistic—if you have enter
tainment someone must foot the
bill. If a sponsor pays for a mil
lion dollar show, he intends to put
in his two cents about the product
that he has to sell, whether or not
everybody traipses off to the kit
chen for a drink of water.
My first gripe with commercials
(I do watch them) is that most
are too long. My second gripe: too
many programs, instead of giving
a preview of next week’s show,
are now slipping in a preview of
next week’s commercial.
I know they are trying to catch
some water drinker unprepared—
but don’t think they are fooling
anvbodv.

From J. L. Van Norman, Lake
Charles, Louisiana: I remember
when I was a Keen age boy and
lived 10 miles from market which
was at Clinton, Louisiana.
We went to market twice a year
in an ox wagon. We would leave
before daybreak and get back late
at night. I plowed the oxen during
the week .and let them graze on
Saturdays and Sundays. When we
could find them we went\to church
in the ox wagon. Otherwise, we
tied our shoes together and walked
three miles. When we got there we
brushed the £irt from our shoes
with a pine brush, put them on.
Usually the women went in and
the men stgyed outside until the
preacher called service. Then they
all went in.
Negroes and whites attended this
same church . . . there was also
another church down' the road.
Each had service once a month,
so that gave us a chance to attend
each of themi

From Jee Vire, MmticeBe, Ken
tucky; Let’s turn back memory's
pages 70-odd years'. . . «the family

Father takes the Bible and reads
the 23 Psalm and then oh bended
knees thanks Our Reavenly Father
for all the blessings of life and

I sometimes wonder if the lack oi
such memories does not have some
thing to do with our youth problem

TURNER, Jeweler
f»HONC 411
Ax
Legislation is generally a slow
process, but when you are vitally
interested in certain bills, Jt
seems even slower than usual.
However, during the past week
I have been encouraged with the
action taken on at least two bills
in which I believe South Caro
linians have a great interest. One
of these bills, H. R. 1, the Recip
rocal Trade Bill, which affects
the tariff on textile end other
products manufactured in South
Carolina, received the approval of
the Senate Finance Committee.
H. R. 1, the Reciprocal Trade
Bill, was reported out of the Se
nate Finance Committee with few
amendments to the version ap^
proved by the House. There are
claims on the part of some oppon
ents of changes in the measure
that it has been amended too
much. But I feel differently.
Although I believe that trade
between the nations of the free
world should he as unrestricted
as possible, I also believe 'that our
American workers, such as the
textile employees of South Caro
lina, deserve adequate protection
against products made by low-
paid workers In other countries.
Because the GATT conference,
now meeting in Geneva, Switzer
land, is expected to reduce tariffs
td an unknown extent under the
-present trade agrsement, I feel
that the products on the list at
Geneva should not be subject to
further outs under the provision
of H. R. 1,
I am happy to be able to say
that the Senate Finance Commit
tee approved the suggestions
which I presented to it, on behalf
o'f myself and 16 other Senators.
While we Could not get abeolute
protection against possible cuts at
Geneva, the Finance Committee
did see fit to remove the special
exemption for Japan and the M neg
ligible quantity” clause. The Com
mittee also provided that Hems on
the Geneva list should not be re
duced again during the next three
That Is the time covered by
authority granted the Presi
dent in H. R. 1.
Although there is strong oppo
sidon to these amendments to H.
R. 1, it Is my hope that, 'when
finally approved, the bill will have
these safeguards ip it. At least,
the action of the Finance Commit
tee strengthens that objective.
The other measure to which I
refer is the bill in which 1 joined
with Senator Russell of Georgia
and others in introducing for the
purpose of allowing farmers to
plant substitute crops when nat
ural disasters wipe out their main
crop. Of Course this bill was In
troduced because of'the destruc
tive freeze which hit South Caro
lina grains, vegetables and
peaches, as well as the crops of
other states.
I was disappointed that the Ag
riculture Department made a rec
ommendation against this bill and
I said so on the floor of the Se-,
mate when the bill was finally
passed on April 26 by an over
whelming vote.
The Agriculture Department said
the bill wOuld.be hard to admini
ster, that it would be expensive
to administer and that it would
set a “dangerous precedent.”
But I took the position that
emergency situations require em
ergency measures. I believe there
will be enough people already em
ployed in the various state under
the Agriculture Department to dO
the work of approving additional
allotments of crops and that some
additional expense would be justi-
fleld If it served the purpose of
aiding farmers who had lost their
entire inpome because of a natur
al disaster such as a killing'freeze.
There seems to me little argu
ment on the side of precedent be
cause the bill specifically applies,
only to emergencies and the Sec
retary of Agriculture would be
the one with authority to decide
when such an emergency existed.
It is now up ito the House to
act on the bill and I hope that ap
proval will be given soon.

YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY
Families of individuals who died
before September 1, 1950, may be
eligible for monthly social secur
ity insurance payments now. This
provision of the 1964 Amendments
to the Social Security Act applies
if the worker died after July 1st
1940, and before September let,
1950,. even though the family’s or
iginal claim for survivors bene
fits was denied.
Recent changes make it possible
to provide an insured ata
der the law in such case* it th»
worker had at least six quarters
of coverage at the time of his
death. This special,, pro’
however, wRl affect only monthly
benefit claims.
Survivors who might qualify for
these, monthly payments are wid
ows who are 65 or older, children
who are not yet 18, and, in case
the worker left no widow or child
ren, parents who were receiving
at least one-half of their support
from the deceased when he died.
Anyone Who feels this provision
may affect him should get in
touch with the district Social Se
curity office at 19 Poet Office
building. Greenwood.
