COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS By SPECTATOR Well, you never can tell, can you? I clipped this choice bit from the editorial page of a great paper: “The following is the interesting reply of Congressman Otto Passman, Chairman of the Subcommittee of Foreign Appropriations, to a group, designating themselves as ‘Christian ladies,’ asking more federal missionary work in the Mid-Eastern Countries: ‘The foreign aid program is wrecking the economy of our nation. We are placing an unbearable debt upon the shoulders of unborn generations of Americans in spending our money on a program which is loaded w r ith bribery, blackmail and corruption. Much of our foreign aid money is going to support kings and princes of Middle and Far Eastern countries where polygamy is practiced with some of the rulers having as many as fifty wives. There are thous ands of similar ridiculous items in the foreign aid bill, and I just do not want to see a continuation of spending the Am erican taxpayers’ dollars for such corrupt practices. I am trying to take out of the bill the tens of thousands of dollars which may be spent for choice whiskies and liqueurs for foreign rulers. I will, however, support a bare minimum to carry out our country’s military commitments to friendly nations/ T am sorry that you have placed a blankekt approval of the foreign aid program, but I am sure that you did so without knowing that large percentage goes for the support of king’s harems and for alcoholic beverages’.” Tut tut; wine, women and song in our sb-called “Foreign aid ?” I read recently that some small-time ruler in the East had increased the number of his wives from two hundred to four hundred and then decreased his army from 6000 to 4000. I do not know whether “Foreign Aid” was given to him. A very notable event in*our Constitutional development was the session of the State Chief Justices in California recently. No safer or sounder group of men could be found in the Nation than the Chief Justices of the States. I am entirely beyond dispute in saying that the composite learn ing, wisdom, experience and poise found in that gathering of State jurists so far exceeded the judicial quality of the Fed eral Supreme Court as to command instant attention and respect. In fairness to the Federal judiciary, it is generally believed that the Federal Judges of the 1ow t courts are more deeply grounded in the law r than the august brethren w’ho sit in Washington and incorporate popular sociology into the fundamental concept of Constitutional law. I shall quote an editorial from The Wall Street Journal, very especially because it is not a Southern newspaper: “In the politest possible language, chief justices of the state supreme courts the other day offered some advice to V the United States Supreme Court. By an overwhelming vote of 36 to 8 the members of the Conference of Chief Justices, meeting in Pasadena, Calif., had these things to say: ‘A fundamental purpose of having a written constitution is to promote the certainty and stability of the provisions of law set forth in such a constitution . . .’ ‘Our system of federalism, under which control of matters primarily of national concern is committed for our national government and control of matters primarily of local concern is reserved to the several states, is sound and should be more diligently preserved.’ ‘The division of powers between those granted the na tional government and those reserved to the state govern ments should be tested solely by the provisions of the Con stitution of the United States and the Amendments thereto.’ The Conference of Chief Justices then went on to suggest where the justices think the United States Supreme Court has gone astray in some of its decisions affecting the rela tionships of the division of Federal and state powers. They admonished the Supreme Court to recognise that there is a difference between what the Constitution requires or al lows and what members of the Supreme Court ‘may deem desirable or undesirable.’ In short, the highest legal authorities of the states here are telling the Supreme Court that cases should be decided by what the Constitution says, and not by what the mem bers think the Constitution should say. They are also warn ing the Court against continued whittling dowm of ‘local self-government’ if the U. S. system of federalism is to ‘continue to function.’ And what should the Supreme Court do in order to restore the upset balance the chief justices find? The answer to that was also a polite but plainly put condemnation: ‘Exer cise one of the greatest of all judicial powers—the power of judicial self-restraint.’ The State Chief Justices are the guardians of what rights remain to the states, and they do not like to see them nibbled away for any reason. This is not just the view of one chief justice in one state I DEED TRANSFERS Newberry- No. 1 Charles E. Dukes to Charles E. Dukes and Manning' J. Dukes, one lot and one building on Harring ton St., $5.00 love and affection. George N. Martin by his At torney infact, Mildred R. Martin to Joe M. Roberts, one lot on Tan- yard St., $350.

Blease and O. F. Armfield, Sr., 6 lots about one case. It is the considered opinion of 36 chief just ices who come from all sections of the country and who have little else in common aside from their guardianship of their states against Federal encroachment. They are attacking a pattern they think is dangerous. What they had to say will provide a great deal of ammu nition to those who would take away some of the Supreme Court’s powers. Like the chief justices, all of us are interested parties—or should be-in retaining a proper Federal system of national and state powers, one' other result of this plan for self-re straint should be hoped for. And that is that the Supreme Court will read this report in the light of its decisions'and judge where, in all the criti-, cism, the error lies.” Let me quote the Constitution of the United States for the information of those who speak of undermining the Supreme Court of the United States: “In all cases affecting Ambassadors, other public ministers (diplomats) and con suls, and those in which a state shall be party, the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction”. That means that the cause of action may be brought to the Supreme Court first, without having been first submitted to a lower court. Now continuing: “In all other cases before mentioned the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction both as the law and fact, with such exceptions and under such regulations as the Congress shall make.” That is the law. From The Courier-Gazette, New ark. N. Y.: From Texas to Tegu cigalpa, from New York to India’s communist infiltrated province of Kerala, people are becoming aware of people. They’re exchanging ideas and finding out they have something in common after all. They’re doing this through hob bies, music activities, “pen pal” letters, educational exchanges, town affiliation, international bcud- ness meets, reading each other’s books and sharing magazines, hos pitality programs, and many other two-way enterprises which today are lumped under a large multi colored umbrella called PEOPLE- TO-PEOPLE. The idea is not new—but the or ganization is. It began back in September 1956, when President Eisenhower called together at the White House a number of the na tion’s outstanding leaders in many diverse fields of activities to work out methods through which peo ples of the world could communi cate with one another on a non government level The aim was to better inter-country understand ing and progress toward peaceful solution of international problems. The result of that conference was the emergence of 41 separate committees, representing among others such dynamic forces in American life, as religion, business, labor, communication, fine arts, education .which are carrying out through private groups and indi viduals a multitude of internation al projects designed to bring peo ple closer to people. Exchanges in the PEOPLE TO- PEOPLE program planned for this year are wide in scope. They range from a visit to the U. S. by the Pakistan National Cricket Team to the eastern part of Ameri ca this spring under sponsorship of the PTP Sports Committee, to important educational exchanges among 33 U. S. and foreign uni versities. The Advertising Committee is working out methods of educating American travelers going abroad on behavior patterns designed to win friends. The Farm Committee is setting up in *ach of the 48 states a cen tral directory of American farm families who would like to enter tain foreign visitors and get bet ter acquainted with their overseas counterparts. The man-in-the-street in far off Ceylon is as anxious as the av erage American to know his neigh bor and to break through barriers of language, culture, and customs, in order to find basic areas of agreement.

Cotton Harvest In Full Swing Cotton picking is now in full swing throughout the county and the quality of the crop so far is reported as very good. Also it now looks like our yields per acre will be somewhat better than we anticipated about August 1st. » We strongly urge all cotton farmers to take advantage of the free cotton classing service avail able to them. This can be done by requesting ginners to take samples at the time cotton is ginned and send it to Columbia for classing as to staple and grade. Then, on the basis of the class ing report, farmers can determine the market value of their cotton and decide whether to sell, to hold, or to obtain a CCC loan. The loan for 1958 middling 1- inch cotton is 36.07 cents per pound. Premiums and discounts are generally wider than for last years’ crop. For example, a reduction in grade for middling 1-inch to strict low middling means a loss of about $19.00 per bale; a reduction to low middling means a loss of $38.00 per bale, and a reduction to good ordinary means a loss of $66.25 per bale. With these sharp discounts, for low quality cotton and premium for high quality cotton, it is more important than ever for farmers to do everything possible to get the highest possible quality cot ton and market it wisely to get the highest possible income. Newberry County Fair Fall is fair time and one of the first fairs to be held in the state this year will be our Newberry County Fair the week of Septem ber 29-October 4th. The new fair premium books are now available and we hope many farm families will get one and ex hibit some of their farm and home products at the fair this year. We have had the opportunity to see a number of catalogs of other county fairs and it appears to us that our own county fair has a more attractive all-round premium list than most of the others. ' Many of our 4-H Dairy Calf Club members are already busy getting their animals ready for the fair. We are looking for a good dairy show and good beef cattle show. All 4-H members who are planning to exhibit dairy or beef cattle are urged to contact us as soon as possible. These animals have to be tested for T. B. and Bangs before bringing them to the fair. A copy of the Newberry County Fair Premium list is available at the County Agents Office. Greenwood Feeder Sale Last call for participation in the Greenwood Beef Cattle Sale to be held September 26. A number of farmers have already express ed interest and from the reports we have, it looks like this will be a good sale. Beef cattle growers who .may have animals to consign to this sale are requested to contact us immediately so we can help with the necessary arrangements. Poultry Meetings All producers of commercial and hatching eggs along with all persons interested in the poultry industry are reminded of the two meetings scheduled next week and are cordially invited to attend. We believe an interesting and beneficial program for all produc ers has been arranged. Well qualified speakers have been invited to discuss these time ly topics on “Maintaining Egg Quality,” “Keeping Flock Rec ords,” “Laying House Manage ment” and “Production of Pul lets.” We hope all poultry growers in the upper half of the county will plan to attend the meeting to be held on Thursday night, Septem ber 18, 8 p. m., at Silverstreet School, and those producers in the lower part of the county will plan to attend the meeting at Little Mountain School on Tuesday night, September 23 at 8 p. m. PRATER The annual Prater reunion will be held Sunday, September 14 at the town park in Batesburg. Relatives and friends are invited to attend and bring picnic paskets and tea. The dinner will be served at 1 p. ra.
