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.

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.

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

period of time,
f It is felt at the
cadi register

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.

The bands swing down the street to the rhythm of marching feet
and in the crowds facing one another across the finish line, there is a
surge of anticipation. The drivers stand beside their tried and trusty
vehicles, each wearing the confident smile of a champion. Soon the
race will be underway and the noise of the crowd will swell to deafen
ing cheers and applause for what Is considered the world’s greatest
amateur racing event. It is certainly the greatest thing that has yet
happened to the contestants, typical youth of America—and to win
the All-American Soap Box Derby; well, that is the fulfillment of a
dream every boy holds dear to bis heart—to be a champion. Since the
Soap Box Derby was born in Akron, Ohio in the mid-ldSO’s, the an
nual summer event has attracted entrants from all over the nation
and thousands of visitors to Derby Downs, where the All-American
race is held.
