COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS By SPECTATOR In the days of the simple life, say in the days of Presi dent Herbert Hoover, before the Depression, the President was allowed twenty five thousand dollars a year for travel, as I recall. Then came the glamorous President Franklin Roosevelt and he travelled quite a bit, even using a big cruiser and a flotilla of Destroyers for his fishing expe ditions, though he travelled quite a bit by train. Came President Truman and he used Key West Naval Station. All the while both Presidents Roosevelt and Tru man had luxurious yacht for their outings. Now comes President Eisenhower and he has luxurious planes. Although the President is Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, why should he use the Army, Navy and Air Force without limit? If the President has a travel allowance why not restrict him to that? Of course every General probably rides around in planes, some of them quite luxurious affairs; but why not con fine all flying to regular service planes ? A story taken from The Standard and Review of Aiken tells us: “Congressman Mel Price of Illinois and the house sub committee investigating the use of GPs as servants have been careful to steer clear of antagonizing the White House. But one of the best examples of how enlisted men are used as valets and waiters is right in the White House. A total of 23 are permanently assigned to Eisenhower, plus 49 more as White House chauffeurs, despite the fact that the president’s private salary has been increased by Congress to $100,000; and despite the fact that his expense allowance for operating the White House has been upped to $50,000 plus another $40,000 for travel. Ike’s personal valet, who presses his pants and shines his shoes, is Master Sergeant John Meany (CQ), on the army payroll. The navy also provides 12 mess stewards who wait on tables at the White House. None are assigned regularly to Ike’s Gettysburg farm, but he usually brings along a couple to wait on him during his weekend visits. The navy keeps another five mess stewards on fulltime duty at Camp David, Md., the President’s Mountain retreat. Three more are assigned as servants on his two motor launches, the Susie Q. and Barbara Ann. On air trips, Ike is served by tw r o air force stewards, who are stationed aboard his plane, the Columbine. Another 49 Army GI’s serve in the White House motor pool as chauf feurs and dispatchers. These figures, of course, don’t include the President’s three military aides, their eleven secretaries and orderlies, two military doctors on fulltime duty in the White House, the Columbine crew and mechanics, the motor launch crews, a large secret army communications crew, and several mill tary guards—all of whom are charged against the defense budget rather than the President’s own budget for running the White House.” The total White House budget for last year, exclusive of these armed services costs, was $5,013,750, more than dou ble what it was in President Truman’s last year in office..” Strom' lurmond \ The Clinton Chronicle, as usual, has something to say— and says it! How’s this: “In mid-June, a ceremony was held near the city of Fres no, California. The occasion was the dedication of an $80 million hydro-electric project—financed, built, and now op erated by a heavily-taxed, publicly-regulated electric com pany. The president of that company took the occasion to say something that applies to all enterprise in this country, big or little. In his words: ‘The foundation of our American economy is its business system. The invested capital of mil lions of Americans in productive enterprise builds the plants and provides the tools; these in turn produce the goods and at the same time provide the employment and consumer income for their distribution. ‘Every home owner, every property owner of any kind, every person with a savings account or a life insurance pol icy is a capitalist. The word has been maligned by social ists, communists and others, but none of them has been able to alter the simple truth about capitalism. Its value are the strength of our way of life and its benefits are shared by all the people. No detractor has offered a better alter native to free men. Tt is difficult to understand why some people who thrive in the blessings of our way of life would destroy it. Some knowingly and some unwittingly attack it. It should be ob vious that destruction of any basic part of a structure weak ens the whole and can only lead to its disintegration. That last sentence should be memorized by public officials and businessmen who pay lip service to free enterprise. If cor rect to socialize electric industry, it is correct to socialize other industry. if What’s this, now? It must be so or the serious Wa! 1 Street Journal would not regale us with it: ‘In a large U. S. city an impatient woman motorist is i So-Called Civil Rights The radical drive to ram an other so-called civil rights bill through the Senate will probably pick up extra steam this week with the congressional adjourn ment date now coming into focus. Unless the radicals win approval of a bill extending the life of the Civil Rights' Commission, it will expire on November 9, 1959. There is a very strong possibility, how ever, that it will be ruled out of existence earlier by the courts be cause it is unconstitutional. Itold the Senate in my 1957 extended address against the so-called civil rights bill that the integrationists would be back in 1959 trying to keep the commission alive and agitating for more anti-South leg islation. I also told the Senate that the 1957 bill was unconstitu tional. Since that time a Federal Judge has held the Commission's rules of procedure and its actions thereunder to be unconstitutional. A three-judge panel will rule soon on the constitutionality of the 1957 act which established the Commission. If this case finally finds its way to the U. S. Supreme Court, the Court will be forced to declare the Commission’s rules of procedure to be unconstitution al, if the Court adheres anywhere near closely to its recent decisions on “due process” and “individual rights” in the Communist cases. I intend to vigorously oppose all so-called civil rights proposals which are designed to impose the will of the do gooders and the in tegrationists on the people of the South. The people of South Caro lina did not send me to the U. S. Senate to permit Northern politi cians to remold the South to con form to an integrationist philo sophy which the people from the North and other areas are not willing to accept for themselves. Northern Segregation Up North they have a segrega tion system which is much differ ent from that which we have in the South. Ours is an honest, above-board and definite system which is regulated by law as well as custom. The Northern segrega tion system is founded on hypo crisy and deceit, and fundamen tally on geographical separation which is* either total or as near total as the Northern ingenuity can make it in the face of mount ing Negro immigration. The pre vailing pattern in the North is segregation by flight. The Negro is told that he is equal, that he has all his rights, and that he will not be discriminated against; then he is simply avoided. The whites flee to the suburbs, and through the housing pattern, a de facto segregation is maintained, except in a few unfortunate fringe areas which degenerate into cen ters of racial tension and crime and whose whites leave just as soon as they can accumulate suf ficient funds. By and large, the Northern system is eminently suc cessful. It may be ruthless, it may be hypocritical and deceitful; but it works. The drive for what they term “civil rights” legislation has a dual motiviation on the part of the integrationists: first, there s the political factor which offers as a reward the powerful minor ity bloc votes which can swing a State or local election or tip the scales in a presidential election by throwing the large electoral vote of a key State like New York to the more radical candidate; and secondly, there is the old pre-war and reconstruction desire to remold the Southern mind and make it conform. Both of these motiva tions are repugnant to the people o fthe South, and we shall resist them and their intended results with all our might in the best interest of all the people of the South—both white and colored— and the country as a whole.

PROSPERITY NEWS The Crepe Myrtle Garden Club met Wednesday, Aug. 12, with Mrs. John Dawkins. The president, Mrs. John Daw kins, presided. Mrs. J. A. Singley conducted the devotions. Mrs. Hoyt Boland was program leader. She gave instructions on house plants and their watering, on moving plants indoor and short cuts. Mrs. J. A. Singley was gleaner. The poem for the month was given by Mrs. Hoyt Boland. Mrs. G. H. Caldwell had charge of recreation, the prize for this being won by Mrs. B. M. Clark. The hostess served delicious homemade peach ice cream and pound cake. tied up in heavy downtown traffic, still an hour’s drive from home. Taking a cigaret-case—size object from her purse she presses a button on it; as she does, she fails to see the traffic light turn green. A burly cop strides to her car and snaps: ‘Well, lady, that light ain’t going to get any greener.* Whereupon the woman replies sweetly, ‘I’m terribly sorry, officer. I was just turning down the heat under my roast at home.’ For the baffled cop, who suspects her sobriety, the house wife has a ready explanation. The object in her hand is a one-channel transmitter, linked by remote control to the range in her kitchen. The button she pressed slows the cooking of her dinner; as a result the roast stays juicy and tasty even though she’ll be an hour late getting home. Sound fanciful? Well, although this device is not yet on the market, at least one major appliance maker is at present conducting tests of remote control cooking. And that is just one of many imaginative devices with which ap pliance manufacturers are tinkering in their research cen ters. They’re hopeful that emergence of these time-and- labor-saving gadgets from the laboratory to the showroom not only will be a boon to housewives, but will mean increas ed sales for the $4 billion-a-year appliance industry.” , The next thing I expect to hear is that one of our courtly gentlemen will draw money from a Bank while dashing along in a “G” car at about ninety miles an hour. A wonderful world, surely. Can it be that the matter- of-fact banker will shoot a long-distance spray at the fast- moving customer and that the spray will solidify as money by radio contact or electronic or otherwise? Naturally there is an element of danger in all this—or would be, you know. If a man can touch a button and receive money hurtling through space as it were, then the good xvffo ronld shoo while driving along and use all her credit without even hesitating. This world is too fast for some of us. Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Boland and daughter, Patricia of Falls Church, Va. are visiting Mr. and Mrs. Hoyt Boland. Mr. H. E.

C. Graham, public relations direc tor at Newberry. The pre-season sale will end September 5th, after which all tickets, for children and adults, will be at the regular game price, $2.50 plus 10 percent tax. Prior to the deadline, adults mhy purchase season tickets for the five home games for $10.00, “five tickets for the price of four.” These may be for seats anywhere in the stadium except those set aside for the student body. Under the family plan, tickets must be confined to Section B, which is the second section on the west (Newberry) side after enter ing the stadium. Adult season tickets in this section will also be $10.00, and season tickets for children, through high school age, bought at the same time and in the same section, will be $2.50 each. All prices are plus tax. Mr. Graham said that the fam ily plan had been inaugurated since many families expressed a desire to attend the games, but could not afford to pay $2.50 a game for children. He urged all interested persons to contact him at the college public relations of fice, or to telephone him at 793 and purchase season tickets before the deadline and while choice seatt are still available. > The home game schedule is as Mrs. R.
