PAGE TWO THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, MAY 25, 1961 COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS BY SPECTATOR The cotton textile industry was owr only great industry for many years. The greatness and wealth ' of Greenville and Spartanburg, Anderson and Greenwood were built on and about the textile op erations. Today we still depend on the cotton mills and they give em ployment to many thousands of men and women. Since the second World War our national policy of re-building the world has been largely by sac rificing our great textile enter prises. For example, while taxes were multiplying we were giving and lending money and equipment to other nations which compete with our mills. And that means that they compete with our peo- ^ pie; not only those who invest in the mills but those who work and all the kinds and types of busi ness which prosper or suffer a- long with the prosperity or losses of the textile interests. The for eign mills, paying low wages and buying the latest machinery can undersell our goods not only in Europe and Asia, but right here in South Carolina. Everything fa vors the foreign nations even the low import duties. Then again, our government sells the surplus cotton to foreign mills at five to eight cents below the price paid by our Southern mills. The Greenville Observer carried a story that tells us the inside of all this: “Jobs in the textile industry may be in jeopardy if something is not done to regulate the ever increasing flow of imports of tex tiles into this country, according to a statement of a vice president of J. P. Stevens Company in the course of his remarks before the Greenville Textile club. During the annual meeting of the club Brown Mahon of Greenville, the speaker of the evening, told the more than 175 members that textile jjobs in the United States are being exported while unem ployment is being imported. Mr. Mahon traced the events which have led to the present sta tus of the textile industry in this country. ‘The American taxpayer has, during the past 15 years, built up in the far East and in Europe a competitive industrial machine without precedent in all history’, he said. He pointed out that this nation is contributing to a greatly improved foreign pro ductivity without monitoring the wages and costs and bringing them them into equal status with those in the United States. Purchase cotton ‘grown within a stone’s throw’ of S. C. mills 1 8 1-2 cents per pound cheaper than the local buyer. 'There is absolutely no limita tion on that bale coming back in- t ©this country in. the form of doth and replacing the produc tion of a South Carolina mill’, he pointed out. By 1959, imports had reached aa all-time high, he said, but the jate of cloth in 1960 was 103 per .cent more than in 1959 and on garments 17 per cent greater. He noted that in 1960, enough aotton products were imported to provide full time employment to 91,711 textile workers in this country for a year. *11 the trend continues just five snore years at its present rate’, Mr. Mahon predicted, “the U. S. textile industry will be totally de stroyed. Even one more year of the present trend will close scores of additional mills and permanent ly displace tens of thousands of workers. ‘A solution must be provided, jnd it must come, at least in sub stantial part, during 1961*, ’ he demanded. Mr; Mahon said that the solu tion is ‘much simpler than our 8tste department would have us believe. -It is a sensible system of im port quotas, or tariff quotas. These will allow foreigners a reasonable portion of this market and, at the same time, curtail the devast ating competition and uncertain ty now draining the blood of the U. S. textile manufacturer’. He said that the textile indus try is willing to share its part of the load. He also praised the S. C. delegation for its work in con gress in attempting to correct the situation. ‘If a foreign textile manufac turer can sell goods here because they are better styled than ours, lie should be allowed to do it; if his goods are prettier, with more appeal to the consumer, he should be allowed to sell—and some of that’s done’, Mr. Mahon said. ‘if he can sell here because he is more efficient, we should not penalize him; or if his product is more serviceable or durable, the consumer should not bedenied it. ‘But if the foreign manufac- ! turer is selling, as he is, hundreds of millions of yards of goods and millions of items of apparel, not because they are better styled, ; prettier, or produced more effi ciently, or more durable or serv iceable—but, rather because they are cheaper; and cheaper only be cause they are manufactured un der labor and raw x material cost conditions that are illegal and im possible in the U. S.—then we contend that to be an intolerably unfair situation, one that violates every reasonable concept of what should constitute any nation’s foreign trade policy’, Mr. Mahon said. How would you like to have po tatoes, tomatoes, watermelons, as paragus and collards brought from the clouds? I was about to say that these things might be heavenly contributions to our ta bles but I just can’t believe the angels would eat collards. How ever, I’ve told you that my dis tinguished friend, Mr. Wiggins, ate collards and drank buttermilk in my home and tried to persuade me that he ate that truck with keen relish. De gustibus non dis- puttandum, as the Latins said, (concerning tastes there is no dis puting). Well, now, here we have some one drawing on his imagination, a sort of opium dream I should think. “Earth-bound scientists, strug gling to find solutions to such problems, are optimistic that man can stay alive and healthy during months of flight to the far cor ners of the solar system. To real ize the goal, they’re giving sober consideration to some mildly in toxicating ideas: Artificial ‘gravity’ may be crea ted inside spaceships if it’s found man can’t stand continued weight lessness. Space travelers may be inject ed with chemicals to prevent car bon dioxide poisoning. Dangerous atomic particles beating against a space ship may be repelled by setting up an elec trical and magnetic fields by run ning electric currents through the vehicle's outer skin; rather than heavy metal shielding otherwise needed, these would require only a source of power and a system of wires or conductors—no great burden at all. For food, spacemen may grow their own strangely shapeless po tatoes, perhaps even meat of some sort, in test tubes. Stuff raised aboard their craft, tasting too much like raw lima beans when taken straight become more palatable when made into cakes or cookies, or an ersatz sauer kraut. Any practical application o f these ideas to multi-million-mile space travel isn't likely to come for a decade or so. Until then, Ameicans must concentrate on “s‘hort hauls’ around the earth and from this planet to the moon. For in the near future, at least, the risks to be faced and the needs to be met will be quite dif ferent.” !l 1218 Colkt* NEWBERRY Street . S. C. PUBLISHED EVEiy O. F.

Fellers was admitted to Providence hospital in Columbia last Wednesday where he underwent surgery Saturday morning. By C. A. Dean, M. D. MEDITORIAL: Overweight not only increases the risk of disease but also complicates examination and treatment. The heart of an overweight per son is difficult to hear through the stethoscope. Abdominal or gans, such as the liver, spleen, kidneys, are harder to find and examine. Tumors inside the ab domen will not be found early and inflammations such as appen dicitis are difficult to diagnose. Delay often means rupture and peritonitis. Incorrect blood pres sure readings are occasionally found in patients with very fat upper arms. Care of an obese person is usually difficult, especially when it is necessary to more or carry him. Artificial respiration can be a problem and in some cases is not too effective. X-rays of overweight people are often not as clear and thus im portant shadows can be missed. The need for repeat X-rays for clearer pictures is common. This involves return visits to the X-ray department and unnecessary worry. Another big problem with obes ity is the technical difficulty en countered during surgical opera tions. The presence of too mnch fat can hinder the surgeon. The possibility of complications is greatly increased and anesthesia is more difficult to give. A vein puncture (insertion of a needle into the vein) is common and occasionally this procedure is life-saving (blood transfusions, adrenalin injections). Obesity tends to hide veins so that draw ing blood or injecting medicines into the blood stream can be al most impossible. Remember—overweight is often more of a problem for the per sons around you. a hero in the strife”. Well, now, who said that??? And do you recall that many school orators practiced with Patrick Henry’s censorious re marks about King George ? ‘Caesar had his Brutus; and Char les the First his Cromwell: and George the Third—when someone shouted “Treason!” the firey or ator concluded “May Profit By their example.” One might timidly suggest to President Kennedy that the men who planned this nation were a- ware of the danger of concentra ting all authority and power in Washington and so they empha sized the importance, the author ity, the sovereignty of the thir teen states which formed the un ion. Mam^ eminent citizens have ad monished us to present a united front in suppon; of our Govern ment's course in foreign affairs. It seems that I can recall a Brit ish statesman who dared to chal lenge his Government for its course toward the Thirteen Amer ican colonies. And we cherish his memory, do we not? Free criti cism is the very essence of dem ocracy or a republican form of government, or representative* government, by whatever name. “Be not dumb, driven cattle. Be Frankly, I think the Boy Scouts could make a better showing, at times. As an ex-Scout Master, I expect great things of the Scouts Once President Leguia asked me in Spanish, Do you know any thing about Scoutismo? “Yes sir! I was once a Scout Master.” “Well I appoint you now to be a Scout Master of Peru and to entertain the Scouts coming from England and Australia”. Strangely enough the two men who ' came were leaders of Scouts, but not Scouts. A scholarly gentleman in Peru could never say Scouts: he called them “Scoots”. We have so much to learn from people of other countries. We are all brothers under the skin, but sometimes the skin is both thick and tough. The culture of a man is develop ed from his background, his fam ily, his daily associations, the general tenor of life of his nation. We are quite a bit unlike our British brethren; much more un like the men of Latin culture— Italians, French, Portugese, Span ish; even more unlike Asiatics, even scholarly, refined and aris tocratic Asiatics, for there are an cient cultures which hold us in i scorn, you know. From J. E. Hayes, Twin Falla, Idaho: I remember when I was a boy in Kirkwood, Missouri, how the milkman drove down the street every morning in a “top buggy” loaded with huge tin cans full of milk. He had a cow bell that he rang lustily, as he came along the route. We could hear it while he was still far up the street, so when we heard that bell, my brothers and I took turns dashing out to the milk wagon, bringing a pitcher or a small pail for the day’s supply. When it was my turn, 1 always asked to take the pitcher; feeling proud When I held it because it was much handsomer than a tin pail and was white like the milk which seemed more appropriate. The milkman opened a faucet on a can and a white stream of milk ran out into my pitcher. If he filled it full, I could get a sip over the edge before taking it into the house. Quite often the milk man would l x>k into the can and if it was not full enough for the customers he still had to serve, he poured in a little water from the extra he carried for that pur pose. The old horse knew exactly where to stop and we were al ways waiting for him, so I doubt that the milkman had a chance to pour in water before we got our milk. ' Sometimes we went to the “dairy” to watch the milking—all done by hand, of course. There was always a can of Water stand ing by so the milker could pour in some water before the milk went into the straining room.

HARPER FlYING KITES A FEW days since a small boy came running through oui back yard and disappeared be yond the comer of the garage. He soon reappeared on a side street with a kite. The next day I saw the frame of a kite dangling high in a tree. N Memories of boyhood stirring, I was glad to see at least one boy today flying a kite. For that em ployment has become unsophis ticated for the high-powered boys of the present \ I began to think about kites I have known. The first was the old- fashioned kind that had a long tail. Then I learned bow to make a tailless kite, and a box kite. JUST A THOUGHT* Sometimes it is much easier to an adequate solution to a difference of opinion when each individual acknowledge* at the outset that there is a slight possibility of finding some merit te the other fel low's A story in one of McGuffey’s readers told of a boy who flew a kite at night with a light at tached. The last story that I recall to you is that of a boy who was flying his kite in the late afternoon. The twilight came on but the wind kept up and the boy still flew his kite. A man seeing the boy with hands uplifted and asking. “What are you doing, boy?” was told. ‘Tm flying my kite.” Scanning the darkening heavens, the man said, “I don’t see any kite.” “I don’t either,” said the boy, “but I feel it pull.” We cannot see God, but through faith we cam know his presence, and feel his gra- From the Desert Journal, Josh ua Tree, CaHf.: Small Business in a sense is a misleading and belittling term. Independent or neighborhood businessman is a far better designation for one whose sole interest and invest ment are centered in a single community. As a member of the neighborhood family, all consid eration is due him for the good of a well developed and healthy community. A healthy community is one in which a consistent balance is struck between the money spent by you and its actual return to the community This may show up in wages to the man living next door, in helping- to maintain a service directly needed by all, or in added trading with a diver sity of services essential to a progressive community. . Just suppose everyone in a cer tain area decided that bargains were more attractive at some point entirely removed from lo cal interests. Dollars going out — none coming in. How long long would such a community be able to attract more people or investors in any enterprise? Certainly it would mean the ez.i of afi convenient services. Actually small business IS the community. Without it a town ceases to have an excuse for being a town. Trade is a two- way deal; created for conven ience and sustained -through co operation. Like Mood in the veins, dollars (Lowing through channels of local trade nourish the economy of a healthy com munity. Dollar diversion can create only economic starvation of enterprise. Just how big local small busi ness may be depends on support by .sufficient numbers to justify supplying services of expanding convenience. To increase the scope of this convenience, keep local dollars in friendly circula tion at home. v v; BY THOMAS COUINS MONEY AND CHILDREN: Y OU will not agree with every thing that follows here. 1. Retired parents who have the fewest visits from their children are, in the main, those who (1) have no money; (2) have already given away their money or their businesses to their children; and (3) revealed to their children the provisions of their wills. 2. Retired parents who are vis ited most frequently by their chil dren are in the main, those who have a little money—or give the impression they have—and who smile knowingly but say nothing whenever the children seek to find (Hit how the money is going to be left. 3. Retired couples can, and do, pass substantial sums of cash along to their children during their lifetimes, and with the advice of a good lawyer do it without paying a gift tax. This is; a Santa Claus technique. It is good economics and bad psychology since Santa Claus is a forgotten man from Dec. 26 of one year to Dec. 15 of the next. 4. Retired parents whr> have grandchildren named after them are, in general, parents who (1) have money; (2) give the impres sion they have money; (3) let it be known they haven’t written a will yet; and (4) let it be known they have a will but may RE WRITE IT. 5. It is characteristic of most retired people that they start hoarding their money, somewhere between 65 and 70, in order to have more to pass on to their chil- dre- when they die. People who do this are endorsing, in theory A KEY PROBLEM AT AS the idea of compulsory retire ment—that they are washed up after 65 so far as a job is con cerned. They are conceding that they are washed up so far as the pleasure of life that money can buy are concerned. And money can buy pleasures "after 05. 6. Retired parents who- have money, a house or other property to pass on to their children seldom realize that they have a monkey- wrench that can wreck their fam ily ... as we?l as sugar that can soothe it Wealth that is given with partiality to one child, or a will that decrees an vmequa. dis tribution of wealth among all the children, can split the family be yond repair. No matter how pre cious one child has been and how disappointing the other, the cou ple that treats all the same in the distribution of its money is the one that does most to per petuate the family. 7. There is no scheme for leav ing money to children—or at least none I’ve been able to find—that is better than an iron-clad will drawn up by a competent lawyer. This entails a lawyer’s. fee, in heritance taxes, probate costs, other court costs and stupid de lays. Still, I know of nothing bet ter. In writing a will it is usually an act of vanity and seldom pf practical value for th~ retired par ents to specify how the money can used. If you are giving it away, give it. And trust to the good sense of your children to know what to do with it. For a copy of the new Golden Tears booklet by Thomas Collins, send 85 cents In coin (no stamps) to (name of newspaper).

Thus, it would be very well if at any time a legislative body be asked for more tax money to carry on a project, that before more money is shelled out burly burly, that a court of in quiry be convened to examino minutely what has caused this need for fresh money. If it Is found need has been caused by bureaucrats in charge “goofing off,” then those bureaucrats should be summarily fired and blacklisted for all time from ever holding any kind of a gov- ernmf.n; Job again. After all, taxpaying public should have some protection against idiots. Federal Aid or Segregation? THE US SENATE has proved that it is not twilling to'grant its assurance to Southern schools that they will receive aid funds under the general federal aid to education bill if they maintain segregated facilities. This point was made when the Senate re jected by a 70-25 vote my amend ment which would have specific ally prohibited the withholding of aid funds to segregated schools. The amendment provided that no agency could withhold funds ap propriated under the bill nor could any appropriation authorized by the bill be “cvnditioned on the compliance by a State or school with any policy or law with re gard to segregation or desegre gation of the races in the schools.” THE AMENDMENT left noth ing to the imagination, and it called the hand of those fed eral aid advo- ca tes who i maintain that t e South can ve general federal aid to education without con forming to the so-eqUed “1** • of the land/’ This Administra tion has made it -crystal clear that j wherever federal money goal there will be compliance with the Supreme Court’s school desegre gation decision of 1954, HERE ARE A FEW of the ex amples thus far this year: (1) an Executive Order authorizing with holding or cancellation of gov eminent - contracts with private employers with “discriminatory” hiring policies; (2) the President’s intervention in the Civil War Cen tennial Celebration at Charleston where local funds were used but federally-paid officials coordinated activities; (3) the President’s-in vestigation into Commerce Sec retary Hodges’ address before a segregated political party dinner ha Columbia; (4) efforts by the Agriculture Department to force integration of the State and coun ty agricultural Stabilisation pro gram; and (5) the Justice De partment’s intervention in the Prince Edward County, court case to force all public' schools to be closed if the H'4 schools in Prince Edward County are not reopened on an integrated rr WOULD BE the height of self-delusion for anyone to as sume that the Administration -would overlook the potential of any general federal aid bill con taining billions of dollars worth of economic coercive power to further its stated aim of advanc ing racial integration. A Library of Congress legal memorandum has provided the rationalization necessary for the Administration to justify withholding of funds from Southern schools with these words.: “There can be little disagree ment about the validity of the proposition that, when the Su preme Court has held that Fed-' eral payments in aid of segre gated education are unconstitu tional, any statutes authorizing such payments are unconstitu tional and the President need net wait for congressional action re- , pealing o* amending the statute* * before ordering that the pay ments be withheld.” * WHILE MY AMENDMENT was un^er discussion on the Sen- ate floor, Senator Morse, the man- t ager of the education bill, and Senator Javits both staged that the President has an obligation Under the Supreme Court decision ' " Id aid funds from ‘ to withhol — — refusing to desegregate, regard less of the action on my amend- ment or, one to the contrary—an amendment prohibiting disburse ment of funds to segregated schools. I HAVE SAID BEFORE—and I reiterate, particularly after re jection of this amendment—that the federal aid bill is' the most dangerous piece of legislation con sidered by the Senate in quite some time. If it passes, then the National Government will have a multi-billion-dollar club with which to accomplish exactly what the majority of the Southern peo ple do not desire—forced mixing of the races in our public schools-. This club will hang like the sword of Damocles over our schools and probably will not be utilized until the schools hdve become very de pendent on initial aid grants. . f ?'' Sincerely, ■*V-. ■ A WASHINGTON UTTER from OUN D. JOHNSTON SOUTH CAROLINA’S StNIOft SENATOR WORMING COMMUNISM AMERICANS RIGHT FULLY can look with disgust and irritation on the deterior ating international situation, and especially so in regard to Cuba and Laos. At every torn it appears that communnism is worming its way closer and closer to our shores, and on no front do we seem to be gain ing any ground. We are exist ing on an international razor’s edge between demoralizing half-peace and total war, with the lives of millions of our young men and even civilians hanging in the balance. What we do and where we do it can have more far-reaching effect today than at any time in his tory. • * * ; EVERY \ DAY the wise words of George Washing ton that -ye should avoid for eign entanglements come back to haunt us. Today the snarl of pacts, treaties, agreements, and organiza tions to which we belong ' have made internatloniti de cision-making a cumbersome ' and complicated task for the ' United States. At*times wo find ourselves involved in THE JOB of keeping the free world free and protecting ourselves from the inroads of communism seems overwhelm ing' and certainly far more ex pensive than we can afford. Our attempts to bolster the economy of foreign nations and simultaneously support their military forces, plus our own military programs, are all hav ing a crushing effect upon our own economic system. CUT-AND-DR1ED STAND IT IS BECOMING more obvious every day that we cannot continue to do every thing unto all without des troying our own Nation. The time hac come for a cut-and- dried stand against commu nism both at the conference table and on the so-called cold-war fronts such as Laos and Cuba. We should either make these treaties and pacts and other international agreements work to stop communism, or we should scrap them and devise an ef fective way. EVER SINCE World War II we have not gained an inch at the conference table but, to the contrary, we have lost ter ritory and people to the Iron Curtain as well as prestige around the world. No one wants war and we have con sistently tried to avoid such tragedy. But what have we gained by avoiding war if we lose everything through infil tration, sabotage, and political bargaining? t. • * * I AM OPPOSED to any conferences or meetings with Castro. We have nothing te trade with that country. In time, tiie Cuban people will f overthrow the Castro regime and bring democracy and freedom’to that country. ' DRAW THE UNI WE ALL ENOW the Ptesi- dent is doing his best to keep an honorable peace in Laos. We are at a distinct disadvantage there because of the geograph ical position of that country aa well as the military setup. However, I think this is the time to firmly draw the line against future aggression In Asia and elsewhere. • * * IF THE COMMUNISTS desire to live in a “peaceful” era of coexistence, then we should draw the boundaries and firmly set the rules, or else there will be no end te Communist aggressions and infiltrations wherever and whenever the Communists think our patience can be j tried. This is the way I think j we can restore confidence in . the free world and regain the ; respect we have lost. Com munists understand only . strong talk backed up with s • big stick. We have been talk- , ing softly with tied hands j too long.
