COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS What do you think of old Khrushchev? Well, the old hy- pocritepocrite rants anr raves; he is an old sorehead, a blus tering figure. But he may be as crazy as he appears to be; and, like most people of insane delusions he may be dan- gerous. Khrushchev is more dangerous than Mussolini was, but /lot as dangerous as Hitler was and threatened to be. Let us be alert and prepared for any and every possibility, without becoming nervous. The amazing feature of the Khrushchev outburst is the boorishness of the man and his effort to appear shocked at our plane, although the Soviet regime has been character ized by spying, cruelty, crime and spoliation at home and abroad. Unfortunately the big bluff and bluster will impress ig norant people; intelligent nations will only marvel at the gross deceitfulness of the man and his pettiness. Neverthe less, let us be ready at all times. The most likely outcome of all this will be a reuniting of Germany and the eventual overthrow of the Soviets. The Germans are not asleep, but biding the time. The Sumter Item carried an account of the preparedness of Stewart county, Georgia that seems both wise and op portune. I quote it: »in the South that does not intend to submit to integrated ‘Stewart county, Georgia is doing what every other county schools should be doing. It has started a move to organize a private school for white children, should a showdown be necessary between integrating classrooms or closing public schools. A dispatch from Lumpkin, the county seat, said that a charter for the private school had been obtained and a pub- k llc meeting will be held to elect 21 people as the governing / ^oard of the school. The board will run the school and the ‘charter will be turned over to it. Rep. Sam S. Singer said that there is no intention of clos ing public schools in the county now.. ‘We’re just getting set’, he exclaimed. ‘We’re going to have everything set to move in whenever the schools are ordered to integrate. We’re not going to close our schools. But the day the State cuts off the money we’re going to have to go somewhere else’. And the private schools will be ready to operate.’ Rep. Singer said that integration will not be accepted in the county under any conditions. We repeat: The people of all the other counties in the South ought to be doing just what the people of this Georgia county are doing and that is preparing for the ‘evil day’ which the Warren Supreme Court may force upon them— either to integrate their schools or close them down. Prince Edward county in Virginia is operating its pri- *vate schools very successfully and every other county could profit by its experience. It would certainly be well for those counties which are facing immediate orders to integrate to follow the pattern set by the Virginia county. It might be well for them to study the operations of the private schools there so that he could come back home and set up such a system in his own county. While weall hope that it will be a long time before our respective counties come face to face with the situation we need not sit idly by and wait until the ‘evil hour’ does come. We can be prepared to meet it and meet it effectively when it does come. * We have a sneaking suspicion that if all the counties would get ready to set up private schools that it might tend to slow down the rapidity with which the NAACP would move L ip its efforts to bring about integration. They would then see that the white people did not intend to submit to inte gration and that in the long run the chief sufferers would be the negro children because they would have no schools to attend while the white children would be going to school as usual.” Our colored teac hers may wake up some day to reilect on the unwisdom of their leaders, for white taxpayers will not continue to support colored teachers if a definite show down comes. ee , , Do the colored teachers know that White people, by their tax payments, pay ninety per cent of the cost of Colored schools? , , . ,, Did the ever hear the story of the man who killed the goose that laid the golden egg? the Chief Justices of our States. These are men who know the law and who are thoroughly familiar with judicial procedure. Their re port made it clear that criticism of the Supreme Caurt does not imply any disrespect for law, or the Supreme Court as an institu tion. On the contrary, it shows a profound respect for American law, and is a typical example of the Freedom we all enjoy—the Freedom to disagree and voice our disagreement. The State Justices are deeply concerned that these decisions of the Supreme Court are destroying the internal security of the states intellectual vigor, along with un bridled audacity to foist on our Nation many innovations, some of them disastrous, but he had the dominating qualities that forced his early plans to acceptance and fruition. Unless we brand the Congress of. being utterly inept we must admit that Mr. Roosevelt acted in masterful style. May we hope that a man of clear vision, souqd un derstanding may come to the front again and steer a course at once sane and sound? Even so good, patriotic and well-meaning a man as President Eisenhower seems barely able to oppose weakly now and then the flood tide of extravagance, with out being able to control it. Even worse, Mr. Eisenhower sometimes either proposes spending or meekly acquiesces. One thing of some urgency is the need to curb and correct the many Federal agencies which are today exercising such large pow ers as to be a danger to our Na tional development. The Interstate Commerce Commission, the Fed eral Trade Commission, The Fed- er r .i Power Commission and The Federal Communications Commis sion—each of them should be care fully studied, investigated fro^ the humblest typist to the auto cratic members thfemselves. Anyone who ever had exper ience in a big Government Execu tive Office or Commission knows that while the big chief or chair man may proclaim one course of action the actual details are in the hands of numerous subprdinates whose deliberate purpose may be to block something or promote something, sometimes because of favoritism; sometimes of some thing more substantial than just good humor. ’ Although my own experience was in a much smaller field I soon learned that the men at the top was not always informed about matters pending in his Depart ment . Subordinates submit to the Chief frequently according to whims, favors, or other considera tions. In my oliice were such matters as appointments, complaints, re tirement, partial retirement, claims and a multitude of other things, including actual control <A hund reds of institutions. If I could not know all the de tails all the time hpw can The Power Commission know?'Then it follows that the Commission acts on matters brought to its atten tion by hundreds of subordinates. Any investigation should reach down to typists, for even a typist can delay unduly matters of im portance. In my o^rn ,case I found that the steady routine occupied me from eight o’clock until six or seven. Of course big people—the Notables, Senators and Represen tatives, Judges et al—had to be received. Incidentally everybody wanted something. I soon saw that I was being swamped with paper work, most of it coming up from subordinates. I set apart a period from 3 to 10 once a week and re ceived all who came, big and small, by number. Everybody could be heard. FOR BSTTIR HEALTH People are thinking seriously bout the trend of things here at ome. According to a report by the jnerican Bar Association’s Com- littee on Communist Tactics, trategy and Objectives of the (iviet Union in America, the ommunists have nine major ob- setives in the United States, brmer Senator Herbert O’Con- pr. Chairman of the Committee, pints out th it in fifteen decisions f the Supreme Court five of iese nine objectives were accom- lished. These facts raise import- lit questions, serious questions i to how the misuse of power by le Supreme Court can be re- ricted. Many people are alarm- I about this matter,, and they ive every reason to be. In a special report, the Confer- ice of Chief Justices of State ipreme Courts listed the decis- ns of the Supreme Court which sakened the internal security of e United States Nowhere in the Story of western civilization has e Supreme Judicial Tribunal of ly nation ever received such iticism as that leveled at the ipreme Court in this report by and thus of the Union. They, be lieve strongly that the Court should not depart from its Consti tutional role as arbiter of the Law. All Americans should give care ful attention to the warning of the State Justices, and the dis senting three members of the Su preme Court itself. America is in the dire danger if our Congress no longer has the authority to pro hibit acts calculated to overthrow our Government.” Certainly it must be conceded that Franklin Roosevelt had the By C. A. Dean, M.D. M EDITORIAL: Mrs. W.W.B. and Mrs. P.D.F. recently asked about hiatrus hernias—treat ment, seriousness and symp toms. j A hiatus hernia is a rupture of the stomach up through the dia phragm into the chest cavity. It is also known as a diaphragmatic hernia. The cause is primarily a weakness in the part of the dia phragm (hiatus) through which the stomach tube passes to reach the stomach. Many cases of hiatus hernia are found accidentally on X-rays. The patient is unaware anything is wrong and there are no symp toms. It is entirely possible that a patient will never have any complaints about the hernia, and nothing has to be done. In this in stance, the trouble is obviously not serious. In others, there will be symp toms, and medical treatment will be necessary. In still others, this treatment won’t be sufficient and an operation will be neces sary. It is seldom that a hiatus hernia is very serious. The symptoms of a hiatus her nia are similar to those of a stomach ulcer, that is, “heart burn,” discomfort in the upper part of the belly near the breast bone, hiccups, gas, belching and occasional Vomiting. Less fre quent symptoms are bleeding from the stomach, weakness and bloating. After eating, the com plaints are generally more severe since the stomach is full. 'Lying down after meals is especially bad as the stomach has more of a chance to be forced through the diaphragm opening. Treatment consists of proper diet (avoiding gas producing foods, heavy, greasy meals), medicines to soothe and rest the stomach, not lying down after eat ing and an operation if necessary. iii§§i, -a.:.' The Invisible Tax * INFLATION m A TERM we hear much abbot, bat one that doesn’t aeem to concern our people needy as much as it should. It means simply that we pay more for items we bay—in other words, oar.dollar buys less and less astheebstof living rises. The cost of living has been mow* ing upward almost steadily in recent years, so much so that the good old .1989 dollar is today worth only 47.1 cents. GENERALLY,. INFLATION .creeps up on thejrahlk and gradu- ^aiiy erodes purchasing power over a period of time, f It is felt at the cadi register when we pay one 'cent more for a commo dity, -bat only negligibly so .. Jjit each price rise unless, of course, prices jump radically as they did from 1941 .to 1942 and from 1946 to 1947, when the consumer price index in creased by 10,8 per emit and 14.5 percent, respectively. In both pe riods, the purchasing power of the dollar dropped more than nine cents. The effects of inflation are manifold. It serves as an invisible tax which affects everyone^ par ticularly those who are less able to bear the extra costs involved. The inflationary tax does not work on the principle of the graduated income tax. It hits everyone equally, having an especially herd impact on fixed income groups who have only a certain amount to spend on the essentials of life. IN ADDITION to robbing fixed income groups, inflation has its adverse effects on retirees and holders of savings deposits, bonds, and insurance policies. Then there •are our farmers, who hhve prob ably felt the effects of inflation more than any other group, since they have befen forced to receive less for their products yet pay more for the implements and com modities they must buy. Inflation also deters industrial expansion, causes increased Government spending, mgher personal and public debts, and more taxes. If carried far enough, inflation can result in the collapse of our na tional financial structure. History has shown ns the ruinous course of inflation within the memory of the present generation—such as the German, Austrian, and French inflationary spirals of the early twenties, and the price spirals in South America and elsewhere, which are taking their toll today before our eyes. In fact, inflation in Germany made it possible for Hitler to take over, just as infla tion in Hungary payed the way for Communist domination of that country of freedom fighters. Inflation can be caused by a number of factors. One is exces sive wage demands that are not jnstified by increases in product ivity. This must be controlled by the good judgment of both labor and management. Another prim ary cause of inflation is deficit financing by government—that is, spending more money than the Treasury takes in. GOVERNMENT SPENDING is one inflationary cause which we in the Congress can do something about. I have been doing my best to bring a halt to wild spending for non-essential programs, and there .have been others who have also fought hard to arrest this federal “snenditis” disease. We have been outnumbered, however, and we need the support of the people to reverse the trend toward deficit financing, unbalanced bud gets, and an ever-rising national debt of $290 billion, which, to gether with future obligations and c.o.d.’s amount to a 750 billion- dollar mortgage on our posterity. INFLATION, AND ITS COM PANION, the huge national debt, are major national problems which affect everyone’s pocket- book and posterity. To bring them both under control will require individual effort and interest on the part of all Americans.
