VOLUME 23; NUMBER 44. NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1960 1 I .a'T/:.- 4 $2.00 PER By’The Way - Sanders LITTLE EMBARRASSED I was a little embarrassed the -other day when a reader told me how much she enjoyed my writ ing:. The reason for my feeling was that it seems in recent months, most of this column has been composed of what others have to say on subjects in which I am—and you should be—vitally interested. For several years I have, on and off, written of the menace of federal aid to education. I was opposing it when no one < else seemed to care one way or the other. This situation has changed ■in recent months, and more and more is seen and heard of the op position to federal aid, while the National Education Association, Department of Health, Education and Welfare, and left-wingers in Congress fight to have an aid to education bill passed. True, most of the opposition comes from the south. For that reason, I thought you would like to hear what a senator from Ari zona, Barry Goldwater, has to say on the subject. As you know, Gold- water has led the fight against monopolistic powers of labor un ions; but he also has strong views on other matters. The excerpt be low is reprinted from Farm and Ranch Magazine, from an inter view with Goldwater by the maga zine’s Washington editor, Bill Kennedy: “Q And how about an example of power concentration in gov ernment ? “A Take federal aid to educa tion. Some people believe that the federal government is the only source of money for this pur pose. They don’t stop to realize that the money comes out of their pockets, goes to Washington and comes back with a brokerage fee subtracted. But the most danger- s>us thing is that once the Federal Government grants money, it must also control. In the Federal Aid Act (education) of last yeaY—the so-called Defense Act—I have dis covered 12 different areas of con trol. “It is my firm belief that the people who advocate federal aid to education aren’t too concerned about the money. What they want is the control that goes with the money. If the American people fall for this, they will find that "in not too many years Washington will be running their school sys tems. “Q What are chances of Con gress passing'an aid to education bill? “A Unfortunately, I think it will pass; partly because the President asked for it. (And I think the President made a mis take—it’s not in keeping with the philosophy I know him to have.) Somebody must have sold him on the idea that if the Democrats are going to offer a big package, the Republicans had better offer something. “I think the Congress will pass this, even though there is no de mand for it from the people of the country. In fact, everyone I talk to across the length and the breadth of this land is deadly op posed to it; yet the people don’t make themselves heard in Wash ington. That’s the big problem. “Of course if it is the ridicu lous package that the radical li berals of the Congress propose, I think the President will veto it— he wouldn’t veto a smaller one. The people should wake up to the danger is in this thing and write their congressmen.” Bill Kennedy, in his “Washing ton Wire” column in the same issue of Faorm and Ranch says: “Well,« Sir! r How do you like Attonjey General Rogers idea— endorsed by your ' President—to hfve a federal ‘referee’ sitting on a stool behind your election offi cials at the polls? Looking over their shoulders and signing up, to vote, characters that your own commissioners have declared un fit? And counting those votes in your local elections? "Looks like you’ll be seeing something like that—or nearly as bod or worse—by the time Con gress gets through with Civil Rights legislation this' session. gMpp' of your own congress- *nd senators will help pass 'if ' "(Surely, after that. . . we will hear no more criticism here about government - controlled elections in the USSR.) 'V “But when you start to cry on pillow over this one some .be sure to save some for the federal government’s take control-of the elem entary and high schools in your community. This strangle-hold is hidden in the ‘noble’ Federal Aid to Education Act—also apt to pass.” Parr Brings Home Trophy Is State*s “Young STRANGLE HOLD Speaking of strangle hold, if you think labor unions, at least in some parts of the country, do not have a strangle hold on politi cians, just read the advertisement which appeared last fall in the daily newspaper of Bradford, Pa.: “Attention all candidates for public office in the county, city, borough and township desiring the support of organized labor on Nov. 3, 1959 . . .

E.” As the editor of the Greenville News says, “That’s laying it on the line, and you had just better believe it. C.O.P.E. is the AFL- CIO’s Committee oh Political Edu cation through which it seeks to tell the members of its various unions how to vote and through which it distributes its contribu tions to the campaign funds of the candidates who will agree to do the bidding of the union bosses.” Mrs. Kinard, 76, Rites Today Mrs. Viola Shirey Kinard, 76, of 1110 Pope St., widow of the late John David Kinard, died early Wednesday morning at the New berry County Memorial Hospital.
