RMOND The federal budget now being considered by Congress contem plates a serious reduction in the stz'ength of the National Guard. In the fiscal year ending June 30, 1958, the strength of the Guard nationwide will be cut from about 422,000 to 400,000 men. Now it is proposed that another slash of 40, 000 men be made during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1959. My studies lead- me to believe that our military planners have fallen into a trap. In the reali zation that we -must redouble our efforts in research and develop ment and in the procurement of missies and strategic bombers, :hey have been seeking ways to •ut costs and have settled on the National Guard as a place where •osts can be cut. This is false economy. Six Nat ional Guard divisions can be main- tained for the same cost as one Regular Army division. The econ omical way to maintain a strong ground force is to build strong National Guard and Reserve units around a compact, well-equipped nucleus of Regular Army profess ionals. Some people think that the ground soldier is becoming obsol ete, but the Russians are not making that mistake. Our intelli gence people inform us that the Russians are maintaining 175 div isions of ground troops, and, what is perhaps even more significant, they have the tanks and other heavv equipment for 300 divisions. WORK IN PROGRESS Two of my measures are sehed- i!ed for early action by the Sen ile Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce. My Air Safety Bill* to prohibit the serving of alcoholic beverages on the airlines, has been reported out from the Aviation Subcom mittee with amendments that make the bill considerably more stringent. Qne question raised concerns how ^r Congress can move in this matter and still be in' harmony with existing law in other fields. Another is the very practical question of how strong a bill can be passed . Early action by the Commerce Committee is also expected on my resolution to stay the hand of the Federal Communications Comm- ision in authorizing experimental transmission of pay television. Since I introduced this resolution there has been a great outpouring of public sentiment, and an in creased interest in this matter in both Houses of Congress. » FAVORABLE ACTION , I was much encouraged by the action of the Government Opera tions Comittee in favorably re porting two of my bills that it has been studying. One of these is the bill to pre vent the constitutional immunity of the United States from state and local taxation from being ex tended to cover purchases made by private independent contractors doing work for the U. S. The other, a matter of particu lar importance to South Carolina industry, would prevent 'the allo cation of negotiated government contracts to labor surplus, disaster or* economically distressed areas, at an extra cost to the govern ment. The practice which this bill w o u 1 d prohibit discriminates- against efficient suppliers. Prosperity News MRS. B. T.

Throughout the whole winter great swarms ol grackles, blackbirds, antid cow- bifds work our lot over every day. They will chatter ip the pine trees for a while, e^dently getting something to eat, maybe the seed that haven't blown from the cones. Then they' take to the ground, turning practically every leaf, and there’s a heavy mat of ’em there. So it never has a jpacked and set- tled appearance, but is fluffed up and loose looking:. Then when the March winds come, it blows mest of ’em away, to our regret. For we like woods in their natural way, with a full floor cover. • It is well that we still have my riads of bifds, or else insects would likely starve us from vhis earth. A pafr of years made if their year-around job to keep worms from our lawn. I watch them With field glasses; They hop around, listen, turning their heads to one side ahd holding them near the ground- Suddenly they will start picking heay^r, into PAGE THREE nesting season, I’ve seen them thus get one worm, lay it down, get another one, /pick them both, up in their bills and make away to the nest down on a fence-row. Most of the birds om our lot seem to come in waves. Even though not in the same flocks* the blackbirds will be a-twitter in ev ery tree, a half dozen redbuds will be scurrying in the bushes, a few thrashers on the ground, a lone = mockingbird will be fussing at them all, while several squirrels dart about. Then after a whale they will all be gone. And, for hours neither bird nor beast; is to •' be found in the stillness there* Y- They move on.-’' And : they, alwhFO come hack, right much together,, it seems* • *>- • Birds are' surety an importantr part of the balance in nature. Since they are bigger than in* sects, we can hurt them more, an- 5 less we are aware of their import ance. In rare Oases) they do smnu’N damage, certain species of them. But mostty they are beneficial, our greatest .benefactors in ing back the hordes of insects that might otherwise give us great* troufelO. ' Professor - R. E.
