State Department into the Caryl Chessman plea to the Governor ot California for a stay of exe cution carries very serious over tones which should be of concern to all Americans. It is not es sentially a question of whether or not one favors capital punish ment. Rather, it is a question of whether we wish our local affairs handled at the local level and whether we wish to tailor oar domestic policies to suit the whims of some group of people in a distant land, such as Uru- *uay. This action points up the lack of respect, even the contempt, (held by many Washington (bureaucrats for the rights land powers of jthe States. It : points up fur- ither the confi dence of the I State Depart- ment’s o n e - Iworlders in foisting their internationalist ideas on the American people. It is not enough that we should tax our people heavily in order to give away more than $70 billion in foreign aid hai d- outs. We must also close and/cr curtail work in many of our do mestic industries because our trade program has been per verted by the State Department into an instrument of foreign policy for which it was never in tended by its originator, Cordell Hull. We must also disrupt do mestic harmony and peace by forcibly mixing the races in our public schools against local law and sentiment so we will not of fend foreigners, none of whom have been able to fashion and preserve for themselves the in dividual liberty which we all enjoy in America. AT THE PRESENT time in the Senate the integrationists and the internationalists—usu ally one and the same—are arguing that it is vital to our foreign relations program that we approve the pending propo sals wh’ch would put our South ern people hi a “civil rights** strait jacket. These proposals are being particularly pushed in the Senate in this election year by our crop of Senate presiden tial candidates. There are only 18 of us actively fighting the “civil rights” proposals, but it is not beyond the realm of possi bility that we can win if all 18 give our utmost efforts and em ploy every means at our com mand. While we have been wrestling with the “civil rights” battle, the State Department, through the President, has sent a message to the Congress asking for another $4.2 billion to carry on the for eign give-away program. This program, now in its 13th year, shows little sign of ever ending or even tapering off in cost. The use of our trade program to win friends abroad is placing several domestic industries and the jobs of their workers in grave peril. The most recent government figures show an alarming increase in foreign low-wage imports in the textile industry, particularly in cotton cloth, cotton apparels, and cot ton yarn—so much so that we are now for the first time im porting amost as much as we are exporting. Japan, once the prin cipal rival for our domestic tex tile markets, has now been joined by Hong Kong, India, Formosa, Korea, Spain, France,. Portugal, Germany, Austria and other countries in flooding U. S. markets, by courtesy of the State Department. VIRTUALLY the same situa tion exists with regard to oar plywood and shrimp industries. It is imperative that action be taken soon, either administra tively or legislatively, to remove this threat by establishing a reasonable system of mandatory quotas on imports. It would also be helpful if the State Depart ment would operate the trade program in accordance with its intended purpose—that of help ing rather than destroying our domestic industries and jobs.

That’s a fairly common question hut* it may surprise you to know a quarter of our incomes, af ter tares, goes for food. Americans are spending more for food than before. We’re _ more expensive food at food with more built in renience. We are treating our- to more meals away from We in the South spend less -money for food than other areas. Jkm you might expect, farm fami- Jfee spend less for food than city tSeadUee do; because they produce MB»e of their own food. However, fa eating habits they are becoming like their “city cousins,” more food at the grocery and eating out more often. freezing and canning cut on food bills, of course, hat homemakers find they no have to preserve foods to sure their families have to eat. At the market, most of our gpes for meat, fish and r. Dairy products come next by fresh vegetables and Aatta. The least amount of money for fats, shortenings, baking », and extras like salad i, spreads and relishes. One item on the grocery list is Bed often by the homemaker is Eggs are plentiful in South They are usually sold by -the dozen. In some markets the are perforated so that ear be sold by the half dozen. markets offer large or med- eizes of eggs most of the r. In some markets you’ll find at some seasons wheth er you select brown or white eggs, consider the grade, the size and the intended use. Look on the car ton for facts about egg grade, size and price. Some markets handle only one grade of eggs and some handle several. Grade A eggs are espec ially desirable to poach, fry, hard boil in the shell. Chances are that this grade of egg will give you the best looking products. Grade B and C eggs may not nave as delicate a flavor as top grade eggs. They are satisfactory to scramble, to use in puddings and other dishes. Egg size is based on the weight of a dozen eggs. Small and med ium eggs are more plentiful in the fall than large eggs and fre quently are a better buy price wise. In the spring large, eggs are plentiful and may cost less than other sizes on the basis of the cost of a pound of eggs. Choose refrigerated eggs. Eggs left in a warm room between 70 and 80 degrees for four days lose as much of their freshness as eggs kept refrigerated for several weeks in a covered container. To keep eggs at their best, hur ry them to the refrigerator after you buy them They will keep best in a covered container with the large end up. Eggs are a good source of pro tein, iron, vitamin A and ribo flavin. Two or three eggs provide the protein equivalent of an aver age serving of meat. As a general rule, when a dozen eggs of medium size cost less than one pound of lean meat, the eggs are a thriftier buy.

JOHNSTON SOUTH CAROUNA’S SENIOR SENATOR THE DEBATES of 1894 which resulted in the repeal of the repugnant Reconstruction era Federal election laws con tain the strongest arguments possible against Federal con trols over State voting ma chinery. THIS WEEK I read some of these old debates to the Senate in a five-hour speech ' to prove that Federal con trols over election machin ery provoke graft, corrup tion, and fraud in elections which cannot be controlled by the people. IN PART of my speech I quoted the remarks of the late Senator James H. Berry of Arkansas, who told the Senate in 1894: • * * “THE WHOLE HISTORY of tho Government shows tbet it is better to trust the people of the States, to permit them to control their own local off airs m their own way. ■' Such was the intention of the framers of the Constitution, and every attempt to turn from their teachings has prov en disastrous to our institst- tions.” ”1 CONFIDENTLY believe that time unll show that com plaints of fraud in the election of Members of Congress will be far less numerous when this power is entrusted entirely to the people of the several States of this Union." « * * QUOTING FROM head lines of the newspapers of the 1890’s I recounted the fraudulent elections and the shameless methods resorted to by designing, dishonest men who used these laws to steal elections and control the machinery of govern ment. THE CROOKED USE of these Federal laws not only occurred in the South, but even more prevalently in the North. One headline told how voting certificates had been issued to “dead men, vacant lots, de praved women, and mythical people.” « * • IN THE HISTORY of our Nation never has there ever been a period of such fraud, deceit, and outright election stealing as went on during the era when Federal elec tion machinery was on the statute books. { IF THE RENEGADES join with the liberals and impose Federal controls over our elec tions and the people of this country, we will again see a terrible period of rotten, crook ed ele ctioneering in our Na tion. a-, a a . AS I TOLD the majority leaders, both Democratic and Republican: “Any fool can go headlong into wild, leg islative experimentation, hut a wise man counsels with the lessons of history before he acts.” “ANY SENATOR who at tempts to make history in i960 without first taking the lessons of history made before him is failing to carry out his obliga tion to the people and to the Constitution of this Nation.” H. M. Fliedner Dies In D. C. Henry Meredith Fliedner, 53, a native of South Carolina, died suddenly Tuesday at his home m Washington, D. C. He had suffer ed a heart attack several months ago.

He had made his home in Washington for the past 30 years where he was a linotype operator for The Washington Star. He was a memb ’of the Presbyterian church. Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Anna Allen Fliedner; one daugh ter, Mrs. George Simons; two grandchildren, all of Washington; his mother, Mrs. Annie Boland Fliedner of Little Mountain; three sisters, Mrs. Charles Crowell of Little Mountain, Mrs. Thomas E.
