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.

What’s this, now? It must be so or the serious Wa! 1

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.
Sincerely,
Strom Thurmond.

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

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.

Short Time Left
To Buy Family
Plan Tickets
Only about two weeks remain
to purchase tickets for Newberry
College “home” football games
under the pre-season reduced rate
and family plan, according to L.
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.
