NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 11, 1962
Anti-Communist Conference
$2.00 PER YEAR
THE WEATHER
This is a subject about which
everyone is talking, for we’ve
really had “weather” the past
week—with a downpour of rain
which outdid anything most folks
around here could remember; then
snow. But things could always be
worse. When my radio came on
this morning and awakened me at
6 o’clock, an announcer was say
ing “present temperature, eight
degrees below zero; high expected
today, zero to four degrees.” Fcr
tunately, this was not Newberry,
but Fort Wayne, Inciana. Seems
that the 8-below was a record for
that city, even though it usually
has plenty of cold weather and
snow. So we still have something
to be thankful for—we haven’t
reached the 8-below mark yet.
IRRESPONSIBILITY
Those of you who are interested
and concerned about the Com
munist propaganda being spouted
by various official magazines of
church organizations will take
heart that someone else exposes
such propaganda for what it is:
Dr. Aiken Taylor, editor the Pres
byterial Journal, receives some
complaints about what is termed
his “bitterness,” but most of his
mail, as published in the Journal,
heartily endorses the stand he
takes on issues concerning the
church.
I believe you will enjoy the fol
lowing editorial by Dr. Taylor,
published in the January 10th is
sue of the Journal, It’s title is
“Anti-Communism And the Anti-
Anti’s”:
We have just read the December
issue of Social Progress, a maga
zine of the UPUSA (Northern
Presbyterian) Church. The title of
this issue: “How Not to Fight
Communism.” The contents will go
far in helping to explain how lib
eral churchmen of all denomine-
tions (US Presbyterians, too) can
be called “comsymps,” or what
have you, even while they protest
that they oppose Communism.
Interestingly enough, the strong
est reaction against the rising
tide of patriotism and anti-Com-
munism in America today is com
ing from churchmen. Not even the
Communist party itself is as vocal
in condemnation of “right-wing”
extremists” as are the official
organs of several major denomina
tions; and especially of the Na
tional Council of Churches. Amer
ica is getting an oportunity to see,
if it has the eyes to see, how the
radical left has taken over organs
of expression in the Churches.
This issue of Social Progress is by
no means the United Presbyter
ians speaking; it is the staff of
Social Progress and carefully se
lected others speaking.
These people oppose Commun
ism: the threat of force and viol
ence by Russia. But they strongly
defend the principles of collectiv
ism, socialism, government con
trol, “taking from the rich and
giving to the poor” when these are
advocated by “loyal” Americans.
And in that paradox one can un
derstand the anti-anti-Communists
who advocate socialism and one-
worldism in the name of “Christ
ianity” while they profess to op
pose Communism.
These are the churchmen who
welcome the Russians into the
World Council, who lay wreaths at
the grave of Metropolitan Nicolai,
who call for mutual understanding
and coexistence, who advocate the
surrender of U. S. sovereignty to
the World Court, who send their
gifts to the United Nations in
stead of World Missions, who dem
onstrate in favor of unilateral dis
armament, who kneel in front of
the White House on behalf of a
convicted spy, who write and
preach: “We are in greater danger
from the extreme right than from
the left.” And they will continue
to do so until the people of the
churches replace them with others
more truly representative of the
Church and of the Gospel of Je
sus Christ.
This issue of Social 1'rogress is
very persuasive. It says that it is
no accident of history that Com
munism, is rooted, not in the Or
ient, but in the West and in “Ju-
daeo-Christian soil.” It goes on to
acknowledge that Communism
grew out of a very real concern to
correct social injustices. It devel
ops the thesis that Communism is
today a basically good idea gone
materialistic and atheistic.
Social Progress defends Ameri
cans who may hold radical collect
ivist ideas for two reasons: 1)
Their loyalty is not to a foreign
power but to the country of their
birth or adoption; 2) They are not
interested in violence as a means
of bringing about social change.
Of such persons “It would be a
serious mistake , to regard these
persons as serious threats to the
basic institutions of constitutional
government.”
In other words, you have to be
a Russian, or a person advocating
violence, to be a threat to free,
democratic institutions.
This is the pattern of subver
sion. It is not a pattern of “Am
erican collectivists united in be
half of Russia,” it is a pattern of
“American collectivists united in
behalf of America”—a collectivist
America, that is.
The domestic pack is in full
cry: “(The radical Right) is
against all the structures of the
modern world, and against all ef
forts to deal with them rationally
... It condemns not only our Gov
ernment’s social welfare pro
grams but all programs and plan
ning as such ... it not only de
plores softness toward Commun
ism but repudiates the recognition
of external Communism as a dire
threat . . . (Its challenge) is to
our courts, our schools, our
churches, to government itself, in
short, to the very structure of
twentieth Century conservatism.”
(Dec. 1961 Social Progress.)
This, of course, is the most rabid
sort of irresponsibility. It is to
such irresponsibility that the ris
ing tide of conservatism in Ameri
ca—both political and religious—
constitutes a protest.
MORE OF SAME
Speaking of irresponsibility, I
heard a United States Senator, in
a radio interview the other night.
He. too, was blasting the “right-
wing radicals” and made the state
ment that “some of them even
advocate getting rid of J. Edgar
Hoover and the F.B.I.” I cannot
and do not believe that any truly
right-wing’ , group has advocated
any such thing. It is true that the
John Birch Society and other
groups advocate the impeachment
of Justice Warren, and there are
n’t many in this part of the coun
try who would disagree with that.
If the Senator knew of any so-
calied ‘“right-wing” group which
advocates abolishing the F.BJ.,
ie should have named it so it
could be exposed for what it is; if
the statement is not true—and I
don’t believe it is—the damage has
been done because far too many
people have confidence in the ut
terances of Senators, no matter
low irresponsible such men or
their utterances may be.
I intend to write to Senator
Thurmond and see if he can have
his staff chase down this state
ment and make a public denial of
the fact that any truly right-wing
element would advocate such a
course. It seems to me a smear
to try to cast doubt on those who
try to fight Communism and ad
vance patriotism.

“I’ve never seen Scott’s Creek THAT, high” was a familiar statement around Newberry last
urday. This scene is made at Farmers Hooded Warehouse on Caldwell Street, and shows the extent
to which the creek went out of its banks following the downpour of Friday night and early Satur
day morning, a total of 3.60 inches. Damage was evident at other Scott’s Creek crossings throuf
out the city. (Photo by Tompkins).

Contract For
Building At
College Given
Dr. A. G. D. Wiles, President of
Newberry College, announces that
at a recent meeting of the Execu
tive Committee of the Board of
Trustees. Roberson Construction
Company of Columbia was award
ed the contract for construction of
the new classroom building at
Newberry College. Work is to be
gin immediately, with terminal
date for delivery of the building
September 1, 1962.
The structure, located on the site
of the old Carnegie Hall, will
contain 21 classrooms, a large vis
ual aid room, 10 double faculty of
fices, 13 single faculty offices, one
general office, and also coat al
coves and lounges.
Work on the much-needed en
largement of Margaret Hunter
Park swimming pool will get un
derway in the near future, as the
result of action taken by City
Council at its regular meeting
Tuesday night. Council voted to
award the contract for repairs
and extensions to the pool to
Benson-Ruff Pool Co. of Colum
bia, in the amount of $8,590. The
deep end of the pool as it is now
constructed will be extended in
the direction of the Park and a
diving well, nine feet deep, made
in that area. The present diving
area will be filled in to provide a
gradual slope from the wading
pool to the tower. This will pro
vide more swimming area, and
will lessen the hazards to swim
mers.
Council decided that rather than
spend $5,380.66 to repair the old
bulldozer now in use by the City
to bury garbage, it would buy a
new one, and accepted the bid of
Van Lott of Columbia, $15,244,
which was the low bid.
T. O. Stewart appeared before
council and requested water and
sewer services be extended to his
property now in the city limits,
and petitioned Council to take into
the limits the portion of his prop
erty now outside the line. He stat
ed that he would give the city an
easement. Mayor Layton assured
Mr. Stewart that the city would
furnish any of the lots now with
in the city with water and sewer
services.
Mayor Layton reported that
the Garbage department needed
two rebuilt motors, backs and seats
for two trucks. Council gave its
permission for this work to be
done at a cost of approximately
$486.00.
