PAGE FOUR Strom LOAN BILL GETS OKAY On Friday, I appeared before a Senate subcommittee and urged ewift passage of bills introduced by Senator Johnstpn and myself that woilld place a three per cent ceiling on disaster loans made by the government. The Agriculture Department contends It was nec essary to faise these rates from three to five per cent to make the loans less attractive to large farm operators who do not need govern ment assistance. Under the existing law, how ever, only those farmers who can not obtain private financing are eligible for government loans. If any unqualified farmers have re ceived these low-interest loans in the past, then this is a problem to be solved by the Agriculture Department itself, and not one that our low-income farmers should be called upon to (bear in the form of increased interest rates. I am happy to report the three per cent ceiling has been approv ed unanimously by thesubcommit tee. HOUSE PASSES RIGID SUPPORTS The House has passed a bill restoring rigid farm price sup ports on five basic commodities for three years. The 90 per cent support advocates in the House won on a 206-201 roll call vote. I have introduced a similar hill in the Senate that would restore rigid supports on a permanent ba sis. This bill has received an ad verse report from the Agriculture Department, as did the House bill. It is questionable what action the Senate will take, but It is my hope we also will be able to repeal ithe flexible support program. TRADE BILL PASSES WITH TEXTILE SAFEGUARDS By an overwhelming vote of 76- 13, the U. S. Senate has approved a modified version of the Recipro cal Trade Agreements bill which provides safeguards for our tex tile industry and continued world markets for our farm surpluses. The bill passed by this wide mar gin because the Senate Finance Committee accepted several amendments designed to protect the welfare of our domestic indus tries and employees. Among the amendments that were incorporated 1 in the bill were three that I presented to the Fi nance Committee on behalf of 16 Senators and myself on March 23. There were further attempts to amend the bill on the Senate floor, but all efforts failed except for one minor amendment. That is the reason why we placed our amend ments before the committee in stead of presenting them on the Senatee floor. We knew floor amendments would not receive favorable consideration. It had to be done in the committee. I voted for final passage of the hill as amended. I feel it is a well-considered middle ground be tween the extremes of no tariff and of complete regulation by quo tas. The amendments face another test in the SenateHouse free con ference committee which is sched uled to meet sometime next week. It must be remembered that all amendments were inserted by the Senate, thus the House conferees may challenge some of these in the conference.

SCOUT Four Newberry Scouters, Elmer Shealy, Jim Perry, Jaimes Bannis ter and Dewey Kinard, attended the Training Course offered by the Blue Ridge council Saturday and Sunday, April 30 and May 1. Elmer fehealy, the cubmaster of Pack 66, was one of the instruc tors in the Cubbing Training course. He was assisted by his own assistant cubmaster, James Perry. James Bannister attended the Cubbing course and Dewey Kinard attended the Explorer course. There were several ol the regular courses offered and there were 114 attending all of the various courses. Of special interest to all scouts and especially to those planning to attend the regular camp this Summer is the fact that so many things are continually being added to the camp to make It more pleasant for the campers. The new mess hall is perhaps the outstanding thing which will be of interest to all scouts. It is now beiqg used and is just what might be expected; it is much larger and is well lighted. The plumbing is also new and is very serviceable. There will be a new counte^ made and a plaque will be on the wall just above the public address system which will have each individual donor as well as every unit making a contribution toward the building of the mees hall. Every unit in the Newberry district wiij be on this plaque. It was a great surprise of the New berry Scouters upon entering the mess hall to see the new tables and chairs. There are 256 solid oak chairs costing about five dol lars each and 32 all steel tables with plastic top and metal edging costing about forty dollars each. These chairs and tables have been furnished by the Burgess Founda tion. Also of special interest is the fact that the laundries of the city of Greenville gave another cabin to the . camp. This cabin is to re place the old Cherokee and will be called “A Scout Is Clean". Plans are also in the making to ask the churches over the area to donate enough money to build a cabin to replace the old “Pine Tree’', this cabin to be known as “A Scout Is Reverent.” LOCAL 324 MEETS • i The next regular scheduled meeting of Mollohon TWUA (CIO) Local Union No. 324 will be held on Sunday afternoon, May 15 at three o'clock at the Mollohon schoolhouse.

TTie Chrysler experimental gas turbine engine is the first to successfully power a production type passenger car and the first to solve the long-standing gas turbine problems of high fuel consumption and tremendous exhaust heat. The gas turbine engine is being test-driven on aty streets and at the Chrysler Engineering Proving Grounds m a 1955 Plymouth Belvedere sedan. There remain many metallurgical and manufac turing problems to be solved if gas turbine engines are to become the automotive power plants of the future. Joint Meeting PTA Groups . - . i" ' i * !

She said if we kept on writ ing editorials we’d be shot Then why do we keep on writing editorials? The writing takes little time but it takes considerable time and ef fort to secure the figures neces sary and other data to back them up. And it is often necessary to have the data quickly available for those who question the state ments. It would seem that not half the people agree with what write unless those who object are more outspoken than those who agree. Some even get hostile.
