Proposals Receive Support
I have been gratified by the favorable response I have
received regarding two bills and one resolution I have intro
duced during this session of congress. Many South Caro
linians and others have written to express an interest in
my proposals which would:
1. Ban the serving of alcoholic beverages aboard air
liners.
2. Deny tax-exempt status to organizations which en
gage in the promotion of lawsuits to which they are not
a party.
3. Divide the electoral vote to reflect the popular vote
for candidates for President.
S. 2845, the bill to outlaw alcoholic beverages on air
liners, is pending before the Interstate and Foreign Com
merce Committee, of which I am a member. The tax-ex
empt bill is pending before the Finance committee. Con
gressman John Riley has introduced a companion bill to
this in the House.
My electoral college resolution is now before the Judiciary
Committee. It is expected, however, that the Senate will
soon consider this and other proposals for revising the
method of voting in presidential elections.
Government Contract Awards
During the past week, I introduced another bill which
should receive favorable action by the Congress. It would
prohibit the Federal government from channeling defense
contracts to surplus labor or “disaster” areas without ac
cepting bids from other areas. This legislation would pro
tect our free enterprise system by requiring the govern
ment to award contracts on an impartial, competitive basis
at the lowest cost to the government.
Recently the armyissued invitations to manufacturers to
bids on contracts to supply the army with large quantities
of webbings and tapes of a type manufactured in South Car
olina. In these invitations it was stated that unless the
bidder’s plant was located in a disaster area the bid would
not beconsidered for the contract award.
SPORTS
AFIELD
“After a lifetime of fishing,
and studying such matters, I have
' found but one reliable way to
determine how well the fish are
biting—go out and fish.” So says
Jason Lucas.
As angling editor of Sports
Afield magazine, Lucas gets lots
of mail from readers who write
that the fish they catch often
have empty stomachs. Some re
cent experiments tend to show
that fish frequently, before tak
ing a bait or lure, disgorge the
contents of their stomachs.
And two readers who fish in
exceptionally clear water, in dif
ferent parts of the country, have
recently written of seeing bass
disgorge AFTER taking a plug—
instinct perhaps telling them
they could fight better on empty
stomachs. So if you catch a bass
with no food in him, it doesn't
necessarily mean that he hasn’t
eaten.
Intelligence of fish also brings
lots of reader comment. The
past few years several universi
ties have been experimenting
with this. But Lucas feels that
all experiments with fish in tanks
must be. regarded with great cau
tion, since they have little bear
ing on what wild fish will do. Still
analyzing them properly, they can
be interesting to fishermen 1 n
helping to determine compara
tive intelligence of different spe
cies.
Itfot only in different species,
but in individual fish of one
species, intelligence can vary en
ormously. This explains why some
very large fish may be found in
hard-fished water; they were born
smarter than the rest, and so live
longer and grow bigger.
Then, there’s the question of
how long individual fish can re
member being hooked. With one
it might be only minutes, with
another an hour, a week, a year
—or perhaps a lifetime, though
that is doubtful. Nor will a fish
lose caution all at once; he will
lose it gradually. Thus, when
he’s lost only part of it, hq stands
a good chance of being caught by
a smart angler who is expert at
fooling fish, though he’d be quite
safe from a beginner.

* I 'HERE is something strange
I 1 happening in the world of situ
ation comedy shows.. . . They have
been deteriorating as a general
rule but this season they have
about fallen apart at the seams
. . . One of the most startling
reversals of form is “Our Miss
Brooks,” a TV favorite for the
past three years Granted, it
was beginning to suffer from lack
of variety but at least there was
much that could be done to spruce
it up as long as the locale was still
a high school where pupils are apt
to indulge in amusing capers that
provide a happy escape into a nos
talgic world for adults The
pace had slowed down until there
was just a chuckle where once
there was a guffaw, but the pro
ducers took pretty drastic meas
ures in attempting to remedy the
situation.
Miss Brooks was transferred to
a grade school and the pace is
now at a complete standstill
The only ray of sunshine In the
new hodge-podge was the addition
of Bob Sweeney, a very clever
man who has a penchant for in
ducing laughter from his viewers
Surely he could have been
added to the old story plot with
less disastrous results!
Then there Is the case of “My
Favorite Husband” . With Joan
Caulfield as the sprttely Lis Coop
er the show was top drawer last
season . . . Then, for some mysteri
ous reason, Miss Caulfield was
given her walking papers and
capricious Vanessa Brown took
over . .Miss Brown, although
beautiful and charming, was sim
ply no match for the talented
blonde comedienne and as a con
sequence the show folded com
pletely . . . Too bad . It had all
the earmarks of a good show.
More than 700 varieties and
grades of oil-based synthetic rub
ber have been produced.
I REMEMBER”
BY THE OLD TIMERS
S. C. By-passed Before
I had previously known of this practice of setting aside
certain percentages of contracts and assigning as much"as
60 per cent to unemployment areas when the low bid was
filed by another manufacturer. This was the first time a
100 per cent set aside had been called to my attention.
This was not, however, the first time South Carolina indus
tries submitting low bids had been by-passed because of
this practice.
I immediately protested to Defense Mobilization Director
Arthur S. Flemming against this policy. His reply, how
ever, made it plain that the practice would be continued
unless legislation were passed to outlaw the administrative
orders permitting these discriminatory practices.
S. C. Wins Certification
The Commerce department has certified every county
in South Carolina as conforming to the standards of the
National Dispersion program. This certification means that
industries already located in the State are sUfliciently dis
persed so as not to create any potential target areas.
Our state is thus eligible for the possible location of
more defense industries. In addition, this certification should
aid our State development board and local industrial boards
to attract private industries to South Carolina.
Bill Affecting GI Insurance
I have joined Senator Russell Long and a number of other
Senators in co-sponsoring legislation which would allow
veterans to re-instate their lapsed GI insurance policies. The
bill would give World War II and Korean War veterans one
year in which they could pay up premiums and put their
policies back in force.

killed by cancer compare with the
number killed by other dlaeaaea?
Answer: More children in South
Carolina between the ages of 3
and 15 years died of cancer In
1953 than from any other disease.

From Paul Morgan, Lot An

when Santa brought boys Daisy

Girls played bean bag, cut out

a choice of a catchers mitt, field

The strangest catch we ever,
made in our rabbit boxes was a
weasel.
My - brother" had "become a bit
wary after touching the tail of
a big ’possum In one one morn
ing before good day. So he car
ried a few matches to look be
fore inserting his hand when it
was still dark. He didn’t fear a
rabbit at all. He’d reach around
down In there, get it by its hind
lege and yank it out. But for a
’possum or weasel, that’s differ
ent, quite different.
So when we caught that weasel,
we carried it to home in the box.
We had to go on to school, but
were all excited and told all the
kids about it. About a dozen of
them came home with us that
afternoon to see it. Each took a
peep at it, and we carried it down
in the pasture to drown it. They
were our mortal enemies. One.
maybe this same one, had killed

a lot of our prize chickens a few
nights before. So we were taking
no chance of missing it with a
shot if we turned it out.
Down in the pasture a pot-hole
In the ditch was full of water.
My brother opened the door and
soused It under the water. We
didn’t know our weasels. Water
to it was like a brier patch to
a rabbit. He popped up out of the
water, as dry as powder, and
scampered off in the weeds be
fore we could recover our senses
or even pick up a rock to throw
at it.
We felt silly for a while there.
We didn’t know much about wea
sels. But that taught us a little.
MANGANESE AND BORON IN NEW
SLOWLY SOLUBLE FORM INCREASE
FARMERS' PROFITS $10.00 AN ACRE
This past growing season 62 cotton fanners in 37
South Carolina counties experimented with mineral
trace elements in a new slowly soluble form. The prod
uct used was "FTE” (Fritted Trace Elements) and a
single application increased cotton yields on an average
of $12.00 an acre—or more than $10.00 over the extra
cost involved.
FTE STAYS IN THE SOIL
FTE, unlike other trace element materials, does not
leach away with spring cloudbursts, but stays in the
root zone the full growing season. The minerals are
fused at high temperature within a new slowly dissolv
ing “carrier.” And tha rate of solubility is scientifically
controlled—to eliminate usual toxicity hazards, and to
assure that the plants get these swontinl nutrients
when and as needed.
COSTS YOU BUT LITTLE
Only 15 lbs. of FTE is needed per acre of cotton. For
this reason, it is not applied by itself, but is added to
and mixed into general fertilizers. A fertilizer fortified
with FIlS costs you little more than non-fortified
fertilizer. And the extra cost is returned to you many
