SENATOR STROM IURMOND The Anti-Anti-Red Drive THE SENATE Internal Secu rity Subcommittee on August 27 came forth with one of the finest contributions of any committee in the history of the American Con gress when it released testimony entitled “The New Drive Against the Anti-Communist Program.” The witness was Edward Hunter, a pioneer analyst and autho’* on warfare against the mind. THE TESTIMONY laid bare a calculated drive now taking place to pull the car pet from under the program for the enlist ment of home, school and church in con junction with the Armed Forces to ac- quaint our people with the specific tactics employed by the communists to beguile and de stroy us. The alertness program sprang from the sorry facts in the prisoner of war camps in North Korea when captured Americans were brainwashed into treasonable activities that were foreign to their true natures. THE NEW PRO-Red maneuver is designed to repeal or render in effective the alertness programs which stemmed officially from a 1958 directive of the National Se curity Council. The anti-commu nist educational movement was succeeding despite pro-Red oppo sition which had been operating subtly for some years. THE GRASSROOTS education al programs on communism were catching on so broadly, despite the subtle communist opposition, that the Moscow-Peking Axis be came alarmed. Hunter cites the inclusion of “anti-communism” for the first time in a basic Red document. Communist Parties from around the world, including the treasonable American, held a strategy conference in Moscow, and on December 5, 1960, issued a manifesto outlining the strategy for our defeat. 1 LIZING the typical upside- down phraseology and vocabulary of the communist language, it or dered an all-out attack upon the anti-communist moveih'd&t in’ the US and specified tactics to be : used. Stress was put upon exploi tation of American youth as a means for moral disarmament of the US and upon the necessity to ignore ideological differences in obtaining allies and fronts for this new' Red Anti-anti-commu nist campaign. “The primary tar get,” Hunter disclosed, “is the Pentagon, specifically the pro gram to train and alert our troops and our people to the Red tech niques, and the inherent evil in communism.” ; i GUS HALL, head of the Com- , munist Party, USA, wrote a di rective for the implementation of the Moscow manifesto which was printed in the communist news paper. The Worker. SIGNIFICANTLY, articles be gan appearing in a number of newspapers and magazines smear ing the grassroots anti-communist movement and referrinf to the 1958 directive of the National Se curity Council as if it were a “fascist plot ” All this had been called for in Gus Hall’s directive.' DOCUMENTATION included in the hearing showed incontrover- tibly that the NSC directive was already having its teeth pulled. Hard-hitting anti-communist films had been withdrawn and anti communist educational seminars were being cancelled or forbidden. OF POSSIBLY' even greater importance than these disclosures was Hunter’s analysis of a new type pro-Red agtnt specifically designed for the. M told war.” This agent has the task of Influencing projects and policies of the United States in what Hunter calls a “pattern for failure through di version and paralysis.” He also explained cold war tactics which we do not use but which the Reds monopolize by default.

Harder “It is about time we recog nize that we have a genuine crisis in our country and to follow policies which go beyond the realm of being a generous free world leader which will ultimately weaken the strength of the free world.’’ * * * This state ment, made by Rep. John Ashbrook of Ohio, was part of his remarks on his observa tions so far as a member of the House Special Com mittee investigating the Impact of Imports and Exports on Em ployment in the United States. * v * He reports that the State Dept, gets too many people to listen to them when it is brought out that restricting imports of residual oil will help employment in the coal mines of America. State Dept, says this will create a crisis in Venezuela. But crisis that exists in American coal com munities is not, presumably, supposed to be recognized. * * * Rep. Ashbrook points out that we allow Canada to ship gas and oil into the U. S. duty free, but if we ship coal to Canada, the Canadians charge 50 cents per ton duty. * * * “ He also takes a broad swipe at the bureaucratic news re leases that say the balance of world trade is in favor of the U. S. If that were true, he points out, we would not be continually losing gold reserve. * * * As a matter of fact. Rep. Ashbrook says, in 1960 our give away items, counted as part of world trade, not only knocked out $5 billion dollar (c) Nation*. Federation of Independent Buatncaa balance favoring U. S., but left deficit of $3.8 billion. * * * In addition, the U. S. under the farm programs is selling cotton abroad for 30 to 40% of the world price, last year shipped 600 million bushels of wheat with a subsidy of 60 cents per bushel. Without the half billion dollar subsidy on these two product-? alone, there would not have been $2,pillion .* worth exported. Thus, figures on American 'import-export trade are fallacious. * * * Rep. Ashbrook also points out that Russia renigged on paying into the United Nations its share of the costs that have so far been incurred in keep ing things quiet in the Congo. The United States picked up the Russian share of this tab totalling $15 million. Where did the money come from? * * * Here is Rep. Ashbr. v ’s ans wer “Congress v/oulc. never appropriate this sum for suc’< folly so that takes $5 millic from the President’s contingen fund and $10 million from the foreign aid fund and literally gives it away to aid our enemy. Congress has already appropri ated these amounts so we have no check on them. /• logical question, however, is just who is obligating us to help pay the communist’s share. Again we see a sign of our national weak ness. We should insist that the Reds pay up or get out but instead the communists make mockery of the U. N. and we blithely make our own beleag uered taxpayers the fall guys once more. In effect, this means we are financing both sides of the Congo operation.’’ * * * This all seems to add up to one thing. * ♦ * America’s future appears to depend on an aroused Congress^ I 1 I From The Seville Chronicle, Seville, Ohio: This is a pretty good thing we have here. This land which constitutes the conti nental United States had and has no more natural resources than a score of “underdeveloped” un derprivileged nations. We lack even a super-race with which to work. Instead we toil with a true melting pot, made up by and large of the cast-offs and refugees of countless European and Asiatic dynasties and purges. Yet we have so much, and can give so much that demagogues the world over hate us. If it isn’t resources, and it isn’t the people our system of govern ment must be a humdinger until the confiscatory taxes of the last decade or so, (a poor man now works at least one day of every four for the federal government— an executive may work nine of ten days to pay his taxes) our manufacturing know-how could compete with the cheapest labor in the world. Perhaps it’s time we stopped telling the rest of the world what we have, and explain whv we have it. We should point out that America was not born rich, as they seem to think, but that democracy, bumbling, fumbling system that it is, does work, and is worth working for. From The Catskill Mountain Star, Saugerties, N.Y.: Folks save money all year for vacations (or they’re supposed to), so that when Ibey take off for the annual two-week hiatus, they’re usually well heeled This is necessary because of costs. Being on vacation is not like living at home. The AAA estimates it costs an average of $44 a day for a family of four while on the road during vacation, and this is only for basic expenses. The AAA figures $14 for overnight lodging, $18 for meals. $6 for gas and oil and $6 for tolls, admissions and miscella neous expenses. For two persons a daily vacation budget is esti mated at $30. Somehow, in most families we know, the daily vacation budget seems to run from $20 to $25 a head, per day. - It makes no difference! Vaca tion is vacation . . . and we re already making plans for a 19" trip Mesa, Arizona Mesa, Arizona, which travel brochures call “A Wonderful Winter Weatherland,” was founded in 1878 by a small group of Mormon pioneers from Idaho, Salt Lake City and Southern Utah. Shown above is a portion of modern downtown Mesa, where wide streets handle the traffic of Arizona’s third largest city with a minimum of prob lems. Typifying growth, the steel framework of a new five-story downtown bank building pushes above adjacent buildings. Mesa’s population doubled during the past decade, growing from 16,790 in 1950 to today’s official 33,547. Mesa is the winter home of the Chicago Cubs along with thousands of visitors from every state who annually enjoy its sunshine and mild winter temperature. Adjoining Mesa is the Salt River Indian Reservation and the ruins of Fort McDowell, as well as the remains of irrigation canals which the Indians exca vated by hand in a past genera tion., Broad, paved highways surrounding Mesa are lined with citrus and date groves, cotton fields and green fields of irrigated ranches, all of which contribute to spectacular scenery. Zoo and bird farms near the city feature animals and birds peculiar to the Southwest. Near Mesa, too, is the world’s largest alligator farm. Familiar to thousands is the fable—or fact—of the fabulous “Lost Dutchman Mine,” said to be located “somewhere in the Superstition Mountains, not far from Weaver’s Needle.” For more than 100 years this story of a lost lode has fired the imagination of natives and tourists alike. Just east of Mesa is State Route 88, the famed Apache Trail, which winds through Superstition Moun tains. Tall and stately Saguaro cacti dominate the landscape in a profusion of strange and fantas tic forms. The trail winds through m?squite, palo verde and desert Junipe ; to the ghost town of Gold field, up through Tortilla Flat and overlooking Canyon Lake to Fish- creek and the famous Fishcreek Grade with its “Walls of Bronze,” and on to Roosevelt Dam and the expanse of Roosevelt Lake.

This was! quite a change in the meeting! place and many of the members wondered why no one had thought of meeting there before. This gath ering was slightly.on the informal; side and was opened with the! serving of iced cold soft drinks, followed by prayer by Prof. F. Scott Elliott and a request from Mrs. Elliott that the Civic League endorse the Safety Driving cam- paign, which was done unanimous ly- The League had invited the two candidates from Ward 6, to come to the meeting and express their views on matters that are of great interest to the Civic League such| as city beautification cutting down trees, etc. One of the candidates,: Shotsie McCutcheon was piesenti and told the members that he was in favor of the Civic League’s ob jectives and if elected would do ; all in his power to assist. He i stressed the importance of well j kept and well planted streets which, he stated, instantly attract ed visitors’ attention. Following, his remarks he asked for ques tions from those present. Several were presented to him and were given answers by Mr. McCutcheon. D. W. Jones, the other candi date, was unable to be present, be cause of having to remain at his place of business, but he sent a copy of what he would have said had he been pi*esent. He stated that, he gave the Civic League 100 Tc, endorsement and would give it 100% cooperation. He praised thei Civic League for having as one of its major projects the preserva tion of the beauty of Newberry by | the preservation of one of its most i valuable assets, its trees. Mr. Jones! stated that he did not favor the | cutting of any tree except when it is diagnosed as an absolute neces sity and that he recommended that i it a tree should be taken up anoth er one should be replanted in its place. President Kohn told of the ef-i fort of the League Beautification j Committee and of its inquiry to 1 Clemson College seeking coopera tion from them in the making up of a master plan for the preserva tion of the trees and plants and the addition of others to make Newberry an even more attractive place. He read a letter which the, League had received from William! R. Garren, Extension Ornamental 'Horticulturist at Clemsofi who wrote: “The proposed master plan for the city of Newberry is an admir able undertaking and we commend your efforts. However, a master plan would involve a professional study, civic engineer to do a topo graphical map of Newberry, of lo cations of all existing plant ma terials, streets, sidewalks, etc. It is estimated that this project would require four draftsmen and six months of work. Since we do Clemson Film To Be Available CLEMSON. — “This Is Clem son,” a thirty-minute color and sound motion picture about Clem son College and featuring narra tion by Actor Bob Cummings, is currently being completed in Hol lywood and will be available to Newberry county civic clubs and other groups after October 1. The ‘ world premier” of the movie will be presented on the campus for students, faculty and visitors in September. “This Is Clemson,” is a dynamic documentary of the mission of Clemson College as a South Caro lina center of higher education, re search and public service. It is a portrait of the Cpllege it self as the institution seeks to dis charge* its educational mission to the youth of South Carolina, to conduct basic and applied research and to serve all people of the state and nation through its many acti vities as the land-grant colllege of South Carolina. The year 1962 is the centennial observance of thei establishment of land-grant insti-| tutions in America. Actor-narator Bob Cummings,; not have the facilities or the pro fessional staff to accomplish this work/1 would suggest that New berry employ one of the three practicing landscape architects in Columbia (the closest source), or any of the others in South Caro lina.” After the reading of this letter no action was taken, but it was the concensus of opinion that this project would be too big for the Civic League to attempt alone and that probably this should be a municipal project, with the League cooperating. Mrs. P. N. Abrams’ Expression Class furnished the entertainment with five very delightful and well | /endered numbers by Cecil Ringer,: Martha Moore Summer, Leslie, Hipp, Susan LeValley and Judith! Bain. Minutes of the last meeting which was held at the Baker home at Tangle wood on Lake Murray, were read by the acting secretary, Mrs. James C. Kinard. The president outlined present plans that were in the making for the annual Christmas Tea, spon sored by the Civic League, v. hich this year will be held, as usual, in iie Community Hall, on Wednes day, December 6. President Kohn stated that the tentative plans called for decoration of the window niches, the radio and the piano and the jetting up of at least one well appointed Christmas table and possibly a Christmas tree. He stat ed that the garden clubs of New berry and neighboring towns would be asked to cooperate and that al ready arrangements have been made to have the usual beautiful door decorations, which have been done in the past, to be repeated this year, by Mrs. George Hart man. Twenty-seven were present and enjoyed meeting in this beautiful spot. After adjournment many browsed around in the park. who visited Clemson with Mrs. Cummings when her brother grad uated in 1958, did the narration in the Hollywood Studios of Jerry Fairbanks Productions, producer of the film. The narration scene is the den of the Cummings’ Beverly Hills home. Direction of Bob Cummins’ nar ration was done by Leroy Prinz. prominent motion picture director whose more than 200 screen cred its include such productions as South Pacifi:, Desert Song, Victor Herbert, The Ten Commandments, God Is My Co-Piiot, The Sign of the Cross, Union Pacific and Show Boat. Newberry County civic clubs, church groups, school groups and other organizations may reserve a date for showing “This Is Clem son” by sending a preferred date and two alternates to the Public Relations Department, Clemson College, Clemson, S.

Plucky Stevie Helps Science Toward Answer to Arthritis Stevie Vardol gives blood sample to kooratory nurse. By THOMAS COLLINS How To Fix Things To Retire At 60 R etirement at age 65. as you have probably figured out For plucky Stevie Vardol, 10, life much of the time is just an unhappy succession of giving samples of his body to science. & — by now, is not something that was designed by, or for, the 65-year- old people. You could shut your eyes and pick almost any other age . . . and set up a happier retirement time. Age 65 is a little too late for most people to start again, and a little too soon to stop. Mr. Arthur Williamson is going to do something about this. “On my 60th birthday,” he says, “I am going to quit the company I have served for 26 years. At that time I can draw a bobtailed pension of $104 a month for life. With this $104 and some sharp figuring my wife and I can have financial security...” Mr. and Mrs. Williamson own a good house, and think they can net $16,000 if they sell it. They have $7,200 in a savings account. Mr. Wiffiamson has $10,000 in life insurance that he can convert to paid-up insurance at age 60, with a ca^h value of about $4,000. “We are going to sell our house,” Mr. Williamson says, “and buy a $4,000 used trailer. This will leave us $12,000 out of the house money. “We’ll spend this $12,000, in equal installments, over the five years until my Social Security starts. This will average out to about $2,400 a year or $200 a month. The $200 added to my bob tailed pension will give us $304 a month. In a paid-for trailer in a warm climate we’ll have se curity ...” Mr. Williamson plans to put the $12,000 in an insured savings and loan association where he can get 4^ per cent interest. He’ll take out $1,200 every six months and leave the rest to draw interest. He’ll let the interest accumulate and add it to his $7,200 savings. “When I reach 65,” Mr. Wil liamson continues, “the house money will be gone, but Social Security of maybe $100 for me and maybe $30 for my wife will begin. (Five years of idleness can cut down his benefits.) My pen sion will still be paying, so we’Ilb- have $234 a month.” If Mr. Williamson should die at* say age 66, his wife will be left with only her Social Security of $75 or so a month (three-fourths of her husband’s benefit). His pension won’t carry over to his wife. “We’ve decided to handle that situation with the insurance and savings,” says Mr. William son. “The $10,000 insurance, plus the $7,200 savings and accumulated interest, plus the interest accumu lated on the house money, should give my widow at leas* $19,000. If she spent this at the rate of $100 a month—which is about all she’d need in addition to her $75 Social Security and the trailer— the $19,000 should carry her for about 16 years. And this doesn’t count the interest she v/ould be getting each year on the unused portion of the $19,000. “If I died at 66, my wife would be 64. If she can have this kind of security for 15 years, or until age 80, we arc both willing to gamble on it.

But Stevie, who would rather be swimming and roller skat ing in Minneapolis (if he only could) than spending endless - hours in the Children’s Rheu matic Clinic of the University - of Minnesota Medical School, doesn’t feel sorry for himself. ; „ He knows he is doing a job that must be done: that the doctors’ appraisal of the tissue samples from his swollen knees, speci mens of knee-joint fluid, and of his blood may in time prevent \ U*^i&*&t)6er children the' affliction '• s v befell him three painful % *■ ' years ago. ' Stevie has juvenile rheuma- ** toid arthritis in the knees, hands, wrists. Throughout the nation, an other 30,000 Stevies — or their small sisters—also suffer each year from this excruciating dis ease. With March of Dimes funds, The National Founda tion (which made possible de velopment of the Salk polio vaccine) is today supporting the University of Minnesota’s Children’s Rheumatism Clinic with a research grant. Other arthritis research projects are under way at the Rockefeller Institute, at New York Univer sity, the University of Buffalo and at other famed scientific institutions, all financed by the March of Dimes. Additionally, The National Foundation has established « arthritis study centers at Co lumbia University, the Univer sity of Rochester (N. Y.), the University of Texas at Dallas •and the University of Cali- fornia^at San Francisco. The—doctors confidently tell Stevie they will solve the enigma, of rheumatoid arthritis in time, and find a preventive, given enough support. But they don’t delude this valiant little boy or his puzzled father and mother who ask, despairingly, “Why should this happen to us, to Stevie?” The medical scien tists look him squarely in the eye and say, “We just can’t promise we’ll make you well again. But then again, perhaps eventually we will.” Stevie’s stout answer is to roll up his sleeve for another ten cc’s of his blood (which contains an abnormal protein, a mark of his disease); or to pull up his trouser leg to give up another specimen of lubri cating fluid from his knee. In the laboratory, Stevie’s blood is compared painstaking ly to normal olood m the inces sant search for an answer to what is wrong with Stevie and with the other 30,000 children. Perhaps what is wrong is an abnormal development of anti bodies. Antibodies are the sub stance that combat bacteria. Then, samples of the connec tive tissue around his knees are studied and photographed under the giant electron micro scope and compared to normal tissue. Stevie doesn’t cry although his doctors say that the pain he suffers at times beggars description. He is not a “guinea pig” in the full medical sense of the term. But the resolute and uncomplaining bearing of this young gentleman of only 10 is evidence that he knows he is a volunteer of the fight against the nation’s No. 1 Crip- pler—arthritis which, in one or anot Uo r form, strikes at 11 mil- lio nericans.
