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.

During recent student body elec
tions at Newberry College, Julia
Monts of Newberry was elected
vice president of the Student Body
and Nora Kinard of Pomarla, Fran
ces McDowell and Robert Weeks
of Newberry, and Dwight Miller
of Pomaria were elected Day Stu
dent representatives on the Stu
dent Council.
The following student body of
ficers and members of the stu
dent counoil were installed during
a special chapel service by Acting
President C. A. Kaufmann on
May 2.

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.”

Motorists in Detroit and its suburbs are seeing Chrysler Corpora
tion’s “Turbine Special" for the first time on city streets, but they
have to look closely to detect any extenordistinctions from current
Plymouth cars with conventional engines. 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.

From the Claremont News,
Claremont? Minnesota: One woman

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.
