The train for which dis continuance i s sought runs through Newberry about nine in the morning en route to Columbia and at about 10 p.m. en route to Greenville. In a hearing on the railway’s petition for discontinuance of Traint 17 and 18 between Colum bia and Greenville, A. B. Gleason, the railway’s supervisory statisti cian, sketched for the Commis sion a discouraging statistical pic ture of the results of . continuing to operate a service that has out- erlin, H. K.

During the 12-month period ended October 31, 1960, the total income of the tw o trains from pas sengers, mail and express am ounted to $121,759. But since the railway spent $214,713 for train crew wages, fuel, maintenance of equipment and other direct costs of operation, the net result was a loss of $92,954. Manned by a rail crew of six and a number of postal, express and Pullman employees, each train carried an average of seven passengers per trip. Why so few passengers rode Trains 17 and 18 was graphically explained by G. V. Bayliss, a Southern special in vestigator. He called attention to the state’s network of excellent highways, the number of passenger automobiles (one to every three persons) re gistered in the counties served by these trains, and the frequent bus schedules by various routes be tween Greenville and Columbia. Leason L. Waters, manager -of transportation services, assured the Commission that the mail and express handled on Trains 17 and 18 (which do not produce enough revenue to offset the decline in the numbt* of passengers) could go as com uiently not only by other trains but by highway if necessary. In testimony supported by on- the-spot photographs, he describ ed the equipment of the two trains as “well above average” for local passenger service, clean and well maintained, with air conditioning and reclining seats. But the statistics were inescap able. During the decade of the 1950’s while the number of pas sengers carried by Southern Rail way generally decreased from 3 million a year in 1951 to little more than a million a year in 1959, the number of passengers using these two trains dwindled even more alarmingly. In 1951 there were 27,980 pas sengers on Trains 17 and 18 and the passenger revenue was $118,- 544. By 1959 the number of pas sengers carried during the year was down to 4,080 and the pas senger revenue had shrunk to $14,554. Southern can take a hint. Now it wants to take off these two trains.

South- LOOKING AHEAD American Might, N Soviet Myth Jameson G. Campaigne, distin guished editor of the Indianapolis Star, has written a book worthy of the attention of every Ameri can. It is entitled American Might And Soviet Myth (Regnery, 3.95). It is a powerful contribution to the enlightenment of the Ameri can people on the facts of the war for survival in which our na tion is engaged. Mr. Campaigne is convinced we. are losing the war and the Communists are win ning it. He documents a powerful indictment of our U.S. foreign policy — its lack of traditional American character, its continu ing aid to the enemy. “In the earliest years of our existence," writes Mr. Campaigne, “we established certain principles in dealing with other govern ments. While history has made the application of these principles different in technique, it has not outmoded the principles them selves, nor can it permanently alienate them from our national character, without damaging that character beyond recovery or re pair. . .” George Washington’s Code He cites the character of for eign policy enunciated by Presi dent George Washington: Ob serve good faith and justice to ward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all. Religion and morality enjoin this conduct. . It will be worthy of a free, en-f lightered and, at no distant per iod, a great nation to give to mankind the magnanimous and £oo novel example of a people al ways guided by an exalted jus- Chappells Community Center tice and benevolence. Who can Smyrna Community, Mrs. Frank doubt that in the course of time to it. . .” Mr. Campaigne says, “Until'the United States begins again to op erate its own foreign policy in the interests of its own people, and to follow its own historic principles and to re-establish its authentic national character it will continue to fail. The Soviet Union will con tinue to win the cold war. Until our policy becomes a United States policy, no United States govern ment can hope to succeed in matching the determination and ruthlessness of the Soviet Mas- ■- ■* ’ 1 - ■ 1 —; as we seek ‘peace* in the Soviet j “How to Read and Study the sense more than we seek freedom Bible.” This is the general adult tors.’ .* !

S. Is Mighty Mr. Campaigne’s book, as the title suggests, assesses the “myth” of Soviet might which has seemingly caused the United States to retreat, to give ground, to complain but finally accept the continuing advances of Commun ism in nation after nation—at a time, he contends, when a deter mination on our part and a show of our unmatched power would have halted the Reds. “Too many people in the United States,” he says, “have surrender ed weakly to the Soviet psycho logical offensive. Only twice in recent years have we actually called a Soviet bluff — once in Quemoy and once in Lebanon. On both occasions the enemy backed down. He will back down every time—in Berlin, the middle east, the Far East, anywhere. We have only to knock the chip off his shoulder, and he is suddenly quiet. Reds Run From Fight Khrushchev and the other Com munist leaders, Mr. Campaigne says, “know who has the stronger force; economic, political, ethi cal, military, and every other. It is we who are not sure. With great cunning (Khrushchev) has exploited our growing weakness ■){ character to create in us this dangerous uncertainty. It is time we saw ourselves as the enemy sees us, formidable and in'fact unbeatable.” He says in the conclusion of his provocative book: “As long and liberty, we will remain on the defensive, and the Communists will keep on winning. If we want ed that sort of peace at Quemoy, we could have had it at the price of surrender. We can have peace in Berlin at the price of surren der. We can end the whole cold war at the price of surrender. There is only one reason for carry ing on the cold war. That is to preserve our liberty and extend all human. liberty. If liberty is important, nothing .should deter us. Our foreign policy must' bd based on this concept.
