COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS By SPECTATOR The State is collecting one-cent-a-gallon on gasoline for farm-to-market roads. .It seems to me that this one-cent tax is due solely and exclusively for that purpose and should not be side-tracked and diverted even to pay debts; certainly not to co^er new or additional expenses. A so-called farm-to-market road is not used exclusively by farmers; almost everybody uses those roads. It may be true that more people travel the farm-to-market roads than those who use the main arteries of traffic, at least if we think of our own South Carolina people. And even thous ands of big trucks and tanks now use farm-to-market roads. This bit of verse just about tells the story: AMERICA SPEAKS (By H. I. Phillips) To met both ends I seldom can (But Pm a help to Pakistan) ; It’s hard to keep my shirt and pants (But after all, I’m fond of France) ; I guess I’ll have to break my lease (I must cooperate with Greece) ; Hedged in by debts quite vast I am (But I.must not neglect Siam). The wolf from door L can’t repel (Still I must help keep Burma well) ; By Tuesday I am out of dough (Malaya’s feeling better, though) ; , My dollar very little buys (But Egypt’s safer, I surmise) ; My own financial outlook’s murky (But still my heart belongs to Turkey). I’m busted, flat, and feeling blue (But I’m a pal of Timbukto) ; We're adding breadcrumbs to our hash (Who cares? Ain’t Tito short of cash?) ; The sheriff’s knocking on my door (However, England’s asking more) ; I’m in a hole, but feeling noble**** I wish things were not quite so global!” And that’s almost the truth. Of all the utter foolishness ever foisted on our taxpayers this “foreign” aid is about the most absurd. Notwithstanding the utter folly of the scheme we still haven’t enough common sense to throw that program out. There is one way to make America safe and that is to be strong here, with our fighting power based here but ready to go anywhere, suitably aided by the navy. S.- I offer a bit of sound observation on so-called “integra tion.” I agree with those who think our Colored people should seek to develop their race as a race. When politicians meddle with serious and fundamental concerns they are likely to becloud the issue, enrage every body and end by stirring up an upheaval that may be cala mitous. “Could anything more clearly answer the question as to whether or not the theory of racial equality and civil rights tend to solve the race problem, than the experience of Haiti? Does anything more emphatically demonstrate that a color question and ^ problem of race cannot be eliminated even in a mongrelized country? In Haiti the doctrine of the equality of races is an ac cepted fact by everyone, and yet they cleave unwaveringly to the color line. In Haiti everyone has long since had his civil rights, and yet the bar of color is raised on all sides. In Haiti mongrelization has been effected, and the problem of race remains. Clearly it is to be seen that the race issue cannot be solv ed by. either equalitarian propaganda or by any law, court decree, executive order or by mongrelization itself. The lesson of Haiti should provide a clear cut example of the ultimate failure of racial integration and mortgreliza- tion as any solution of the race issue, looking toward the establishment of national unity and the general welfare of the American people. But tragically, the doctrine of racial equality, integra tion and civil rights has now so effectively captured the leadership of both major political parties in this country, that they may be considered the most dominating forces in American politics. • The question of whether or not white civilization can survive in the United States is of no importance to those who are in control of these parties, through the politically contrived philosophies of ‘Modern Republicanism’ and ‘Democratic Liberalism’. Each intent only on gaining na tional political ascendancy over the other, they have reach ed an identicalness of purpose, that in effect creates a single gigantic socialist party in America; now deliberately dedi cated to the subjugation of the white people of the South, and the nation through an enforced program of desegrega tion under oppressive civil rights laws. Obviously this is t : 'v'only the first step in a plan to bring all of the people in the K ■rWv PROSPERITY • NEWS The March meeting of the Dog wood Garden Club was held last Monday afternoon with Mrs. James Counts, Mrs. Earl Beden- baugh presided.

This same principle applies to government. When the State and local governments are unable or unwilling to provide the services the people want, the Federal govern ment, sooner or later, moves in to fill the blank space. If the States are to retain their rightful place in our dual system of government, they must have the tax revenue nec essary to perform needed services. Otherwise, the Federal government will exercise the powers that should be left to the States. The Senate took an important step toward bolstering the power of State governments last week, when it passed my bill (S. 6) to clarify and redefine the tax status of private contractors doing work for the U. S. Government. The Supreme Court ruled in 1954 that it was legal for pri vate contractors, under certain conditions, to be classed as “purchasing agents” for the Federal government. Since State governments cannot levy taxes on the Federal govern ment, these “purchasing agents” enjoy immunity from State and local taxes. Last week, in a decision relating to the local tax status of a government contractor, the Supreme Court pointed out that the Congress should make the difficult policy decisions in this border-line area, between State and Federal sover eignty. My bill, which removes the cloak of Federal tax im munity from the holders of “purchasing agent” contracts, represents an effort by Congress to make such a policy decision. It has been estimated that the bill would produce about $2,800,000 a year to the State of South Carolina in additional tax revenue. Civil Rights Commission The Senate has confirmed the appointment of the mem bers of the Civil Rights Commission. When this matter came before the Senate, I went on record as opposing the confirmation of the nominations, although I know some of the members to be able and distinguished Americans. I have many times stated the opinion that the Civil Rights Act of 1957 is unnecessary, unwise and unconstitutional. I stated to the Senate that I do not believe the Civil Rights Commission can do any good, and that it may do a great deal of harm. Also, it will incur unnecessary expense. Therefore, I could not, in good conscience, vote for the confirmation of any of the nominees. Good News Thfe House Armed Services Committee has passed a reso lution calling on the Pentagon to restore the strength of the National Guard to 400,000 men- and the Army Reserve to 300,000. The Committee also asked that the Pentagon re lease funds for the construction of training centers and arm ories. This is in accord with what I have long been working for. I will continue to work vigorously to keep our Guard and Reserves strong. United States inescapably under the rule of an all powerful centralized Federal Government. This new reconstruction of the South points up the same peculiar phenomenon of white thinking that has para lyzed American unity almost from the very beginning of our history. This is the failure of white men in every section of this country, to heed the call for racial unity in a time of peril, not for the purpose of dominating any other race, but entirely as a means for the preservation of their own stock. It is clear that neither the Republican Party nor the Democratic Party, taken separately, or merged together, has any interest, plan or intent to preserve our constitution al Republic based on the sovereignty of the States and the local freedoms of the people. The policies of both are based on short range considerations unconcerned with the perpet uation of American greatness.” It is cheap politics mingled with ignorant and misguided do-goodism.
