PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1957 This week I want to discuss with you several matters about legislation pending in the Con gress. Every year the members of Congress have to face and pass in some form the appropriations bills to provide the funds neces sary to operate the Government and to carry on the various func tions established under our laws. Each year, of course, many other kinds of bills are introduced in the Senate and the House. Most of them never get out of the Committees to which they are re ferred. MUST FACE APPROPRIA TIONS EACH YEAR But regardless of other bills ard their fates, the members of Congress know that each year will bring them face to face with the problem of approving appro priations to meet the budget. 4 believe it has been a long time since so many people all over the nation have taken as much interest as now in the ap propriations bills and the budget. This year it is quite evident that members of the Congress are hearing from the folks back home about then eed for greater econ omy in Government. INTEREST OF PEOPLE HEALTHY SIGN I think this is a healthy sign because when the people take an interest in government economy, it forces members of Congress, who might be inclined to spend more, to stop and take a second look at the size of the budget pro posals. It will also make them less eager to continue wasteful spend ing overseas and in setting up ambitious new programs. In my opinion, cutting the bud get is the chief interest of people generally over the country. NO APPROPRIATIONS YET APPROVED BY SENATE As yet, the Senate has not pass ed any of the appropriations bills. It will be possible to reduce something from each bill, if a majority of the Senate and House vote to do so. INTENDS TO VOTE FOR RE DUCTIONS WHERE POSSIBLE I fully intend to vote for re ductions wherever I believe it possible to do so without endan gering our national defense and without hampering necessary pro grams of the Government. I do not believe this is the time to ap prove new . programs and conse quent new spending. Sometimes I consider it more important that certain legisla tion be stopped than for any leg islation to be passed. The best legislation in some cases is no legislation. PREVENTING LEGISLATION IMPORTANT Certainly, it is more important to prevent the passage of the so- URMOND called civil rights bills, the feder al aid to education bill, and some phases of the immigration bill than to pass any bills at all. Sev eral times previously I have men tioned all of these bills and I shall not go into detail about them at this time. However, the budget—the ap propriations bills—and the unde sirable bills I mentioned are the most important matters pending in Congress. Of course, there are many other important matters to be considered, but none compares with the civil rights, aid to educa tion, and immigration bills. My main goal at ‘this time is to do everything in my power to cut the budget of almost 72 billion dollars and to prevent the pas sage of those other bills. CALHOUN WINS NEW 7 HONORS South Carolina and the entire South should be proud of the fact that John C. Calhoun was chosen by the Special Senate Committee as one of five out standing Senators whose por traits will be placed in the Senate reception room. I nominated Calhoun because of his great contributions to this na tion and for the force of character which he always exercised. He was the author of the reso lution declaring war on England in 1812. As a result, this country forever threw off the yoke of for eign control of commerce on the high seas. As Secretary of War, he reor ganized the War Department and made it effective. LOYAL TO SOUTH AS VICE PRESIDENT As Vice President, Calhoun un hesitatingly took his position on the side of the South against ruinous tariffs. He also wrote his Exposition of the Constitution while Vice President, placing him self squarely on the side of States Rights, in spite o his nation-wide popularity and the possibility that he might belelected President As Secretary of State, he brought about the annexation of Texas, saving this territory for the United States when there was much opposition to the an nexation. WARNED OF RESULTS OF ABOLITION Finally, in the Senate during his last years, Calhoun tilted with Webster and Clay, trying with all his power to save the Union and protect the South at the same time. Even when he was dying, he issued a final warning in the Senate as to the sure results of abolition. Had .Calhoun placed public ap proval above personal purity he most likely would have been President.

Dr. Buie Speaks To Kiwanians By DR. T. J. ESKRIDGE Dr. T. S. Buie, State Soil Con servation, Columbia, Vas guest speaker of Kiwanis at its regular meeting on May 2. The theme of Dr. Buie’s address, “People, land, and water are the greatest resource we have,” was developed and il lustrated through the use of an interesting series of scenes de picting the relationship of soil and water to our recreational, so cial, and economic life. During the course of his com ments on the greatly expanded uses to which water is being put, Dr. Buie pointed out the need for adequate legislation providing for the controlled use of water to re place the existing but inadequate “riparian doctrine.” Dr. Buie commented favorably on the accomplishments of New berry County in the field of soil and water conservation and con eluded his address by urging Ki wanis to continue its active inter est in the area of conservation of natural resources. In behalf of the committee op religious activities and in antici pation of the observance of Con federate Memorial Day, Kiwapian Conrad Park, Dean of Newberry College, spoke briefly but effect ively on world peace and the re sponsibility each has for its pro motion. Members of Kiwanis were re minded of the Kiwanian sponsored bloodmobile May 21; the evening meeting of Kiwanis, May 16, in conjunction with members of the Lions, Rotary, and Exchange clubs; and of Kiwanis Family Church Attendance Day to be ob served at the First Baptist Church on Sunday evening, June 9.
