JOHNSTON SOUTH CAROLINA’S SENIOR SENATOR —■ mmm Vote 1 REMEMBER 8V 721 OLD TIMERS THE STATE DEPART MENT’S plans to give more tariff and import quota con cessions in the areas of cotton textiles and plywoods to for eign countries at the upcoming GATT trade negotiations are devastating recommendations, to say the least. Trie State Department’s proposals would take us closer to the brink of destruction and threaten the jobs of thousands of people, not only in South Carolina but elsewhere. * * * THERE CAN BE no logi cal explanation why the State Department at this time is proposing to make concessions in areas of cot ton textile and plywood man ufacturing, industries which are suffering more because of foreign competition than any other industries in the United States. Thie original GATT negotiations conduct ed four years ago caused the present unfair competi tion, and granting further concessions at the next GATT conference will be offering our industries upon an international altar of sacrifice. THE ARGUMENT given by the State Department that this is a reciprocal trade program —that is, a give-and-take pro- gram—is propaganda put out by the One-World theorists. True, the law was intended in this direction, but the State Department seems to always be giving awav our textile and plywood industries and receiv ing nothing in return for them. * * * THE LIST OF CONCES SIONS the State Depart ment is prepared to make to foreign countries runs for 109 pages of fine print, while the list of concessions the Department expects to re ceive from foreign countries is incorporated in a double- and triple-spaced pamphlet only 63 pages long. It is the same old story: The State Department always wants to give away twice as much as we receive. * * * I INTEND TO SUBMIT statements to the United States Tariff Commission and to the Committee on Reciprocity In formation opposing these pro posed concessions. Any citi zen or group desiring to ex press opposition to this type of back-door giveaway should contact the United States Tar iff Commission prior to June 27th and request to be heard. * * * THE TIME TO STOP the State Department’s propos als is now To allow more concessions to foreign coun tries will simply be inviting disaster. * * * THE FUTURE WELFARE of a great segment of our economy hinges on whether or not more cheap, foreign prod ucts are prevented from com ing into this country. If we do not halt this type of poor international business, we will lose more economically at the negotiation table than we could have ever lost in a war. Loyalty and Academic Freedom IN s 1958, the proponents of “Federal Aid to Education,” thwarted in their attempts to completely hand over the field of education to the National Govern ment, used the general concern over the first Sputnik to obtain enactment of an aid to education bill called “The National Defense Education Act.” Although the re lation between this Act and national defense is nebulous, if not entirely non-existent, the “Defense” angle was played to the hilt in obtaining its passage. ONE OF THE FEW limitations in the bill provides that no funds under the Act Vshall be paid to any indivi dual unless he has executed and filed with the Commis sioner of Edu- cation a loyal- ty oath and an 1 . affidavit that HR lip JHR he does not believe in overthrow of the Gov ernment by force or illegal meth ods, and is not a member of an organization teaching such prin ciples. , Although the loyalty oath and non-Communist affidavit provi sions appeared to be of no concern during the lengthy debates on the bill in both houses of Congress, they have been the subject of most vociferous abuse since pas sage. Eight colleges refused to participate in the program, and 18 withdrew from the student loan program, because they considered the loyalty and affidavit require ments “offensive” to academic freedom. The presidents, boards, or faculties of a number of other colleges have joined in the clamor against these requirements. IN 1959, Senator Kennedy’s bill to repeal the loyalty oath and non-Communist affidavit provi sions was sent back to the Labor Committee by the narrow margin of one vote after vigorous debate on the Senate floor. This year another bill, to repeal only the non-Communist affidavit require ment, is now pending on the calendar. “students” are being discrimin ated against and “academic free dom” denied because this particu lar group is singled out for such an affidavit execution. Even were this the only instance where civil ians were required to execute the disclaimer, there is a very cogent reason for its application to this group. The grants and loans au thorized for this program are not for the purpose of generally aid ing education, according to the . statement of purpose in the Act, and according to those who sup ported the bilHn the first place— and they are largely the same group who now object to the non- Communist affidavit. The only justification for passage of the Act, from either a constitutional or a practical aspect, by those who voted for its passage, was its contribution to our defense effort. The very fact that this is a de fense program justifies the re quirement that recipients of the tax funds execute a non-Com munist affidavit. As a matter of fact, this is not the only imposition of the require ment. Over 10 years ago such a provision was included in the National Science Foundation Act. There was such a disclaimer re quirement in the 1947 Taft-Hart- ley Act, and it remained in force until last year when it was re placed by something even strong er—a criminal statute. Govern ment employees by the thousands, uniformed and civilians (including my staff), have executed such a disclaimer. NO ONE is required to execute the non-Communist affidavit, |pr participation in the program is voluntary. Although the Act sails under the flag of defense, there is no “draft provision” and no com pulsion. , IF ONE IS patriotic enough to voluntarily participate in a de fense program, he should have no qualms about signing a disclaimer j as to Communist beliefs and mem- ^ bership in Communist organiza tions. The investment of tax funds in the education of those who are reluctant to execute such an affi davit wofild be a highly “specula tive” investment from a defense^, standpoint. * * From W. O. Hosea, Corning, Arkansas: I remember that when I was a boy we cut wheat with what was called a cradle. One or more men would cut while others followed and tied the bundles with wheat straw. My grandfather bad what was called a dropper. It had a sickle like a mower and a reel and platform to the right behind the sickle to hold the wheat until there was enough for a ^bundle. Then it would rake it off and pile it. It took three men to keep it tied. I also saw tnem thresh with horses and mules. It took eight horses to run the machine and they went round and around in a circle like grinding sorghum. My grandfather was a black smith. I watched him burn what he called a coal pit. He would cut his wood about -SO* long and start it in the middle and stand it on end, round and round in a circle. The one I saw was about 16 feet across when he stood it up. Then he would cover it with dirt deep enough to keep out the air after it was ret on fire, which he did before he got it completely covered. He would make some holes in the dirt with his shovel handle and when blue smoke began coming out at one he would stop it with dirt and make another hole farther from the fire, which kept the fire from burning his charcoal into ashes. I think he used mostly ash for his wood and didn't use any hard coal in his shop. (Sen* contributions to this column to Tho Old Timer, Community Proas Sorrieo, Box 30, Frankfort. Kentucky.)

United States Brewers Foundation South Carolina Division Cornell Arms, Columbia, S.C. The beverage of moderation By C. A. Dean, K.D. (Q) “Some time age I read about a concentration drag to help people think better. Can this drag be obtained, and > what is it called? Also, I smoke cigars bnt don't in hale. Is there any danger in this?” D.E. (A) I know of no such medicine. > Perhaps you are referring to drugs which stimulate the nerv ous system and thereby, sup posedly, make us think more clearly. We certainly could use a concentration drug, but unfor tunately we have none at this time. Cigar smoking without inhaling is probably the lest harmful form of smoking. Incidence of lung cancer is much higher in 1 cigarette' smokers who inhale. However, there is slightly more lung cancer among cigar smokers than nonsmokers. (Q) ”1 am aUergic. The exact cause of my allergy isn't known. I have heard there is a one-shot method which can cure allergies. Is this so? How effective Is it?” s F.C.B. Jr. (A) For several years re searchers have been trying to develop a one-shot desensitiza tion. The product being tested is a concentrate of the material causing allergy in a fluid which delays release and slows absorp tion. This has a prolonged effect and eliminates the need for more frequent injections. Some clinical trials have pro duced good results, but the big gest . problem appears to be £he number of bad reactions. If at tempts to correct this are suc cessful, we will have a more con venient method to control aller gies. Incidentally, the cause of aller gy must be known for this meth od to be effective.
