Mj insistence did not impress the General Assembly but it brought about resentment on the part of the high-spenders. We are now able to do what should have been done then—-put ail business under the same reg ulation and control, including the same taxation. There is no jus tice in petting and pampering any group while others in the same business are heavily taxed. ;s: ‘ There is a new idea in archi tecture being tried out—the cir cular building. I had never given it much attention but I have won dered why a group of one hund red listening to a speaker might not hear better by having the speaker in the center. Well, here is something about the circular architecture: “The round shape affords the highest ration of usable floor space to exterior wall. ‘This is a akin is a large portion of con struction’, the architect says, big economy because the outside ‘With less skin the round towers will lose less heat in winter and require less cooling in summer’, he adds. The wedge-shaped apart ments in the buildings fan out from a central core containing elevators, stairs, plumbing and electrical connections. Mr. Gold berg says these centralized utili ties require less pipe, cable and installation labor than utilities in a conventional building.” “A number of school boards al so are turning to circular con struction because of economy. A spokesman for Diegert & Yerks & Asociates in Washington claims the three story round school the architectural firm designed for Wheaton, Md., will have cost ad vantages over a conventional de sign, particularly because the pie-shaped design will reduce cor ridor area by about 15 per cent. “In 1957 the Mayo Clinic, in Rochester, Minn., opened a 12- bed circular unit for patients re quiring intensive nursing care. A nurse stationed in the center of the wing can easily view patients in the surrounding rooms and has only a comparatively short walk to their bedsides. Ellerbe & Co., of St. Paul architects for the ex perimental Mayo unit have since incorporated circular nur sing wings into 11 hospitals under con struction or completed in Minne sota, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Tex as, Mexico and Canada. And round wings for 15 more hospitals are on their drawing boards.” “Although -circular amphithea tres are as old as the Roman coli seum most tJ.S. stadiums are oval, square or rectangular. The Dis trict of Columbia, however, turn ed to a circular design for the new stadium that opened in the na tion’s capital last fall. Says Geo. L. Dahl, architect for the eight een million, 50,000-seat structure: ‘The use of the total circle for seating provides for the maximum number of seats for all sporting events while enhancing the ap pearance and monumental char acter of the structure.” Are not the primary lessons of military strategy understood by our leaders? If we were proceeding with or dinary caution it seems to me that we should stop the foreign aid, military as well as economic; withdraw from foreign stations, reduce taxes here, but build our navy, Air Force and Army here. I do not know who does the thinking for our National policy but I think we have become a great nation of “Me-toos,” follow ing blindly whatever is fantasti cally dreamed in Washington. The one argument I’ve heard in favor of the Coops is that they are cheaper. 1 thought this was true, but the Treasurer of my County tells me that he built his home and is served by the Coops, but his nearest neighbor is served by one of the private companies and pays less than the Coops charge. I asked some Coop folk near me and they complain strongly about Coop rates. So I looked up the data: / Avg. Res. Rate Name per KWH S. C. Electric cit Gas Co. 2.15c All REA Borrowers 2.49c Aiken Electric Coop 2.48c Berkeley Electric Coop 2.38c Coastal Electric Coop 2.66c Edisto Electric Coop 2.67c Fairfield Electric Coop 2.57c Mid-Carolina Electric Coop 2.49c Salkahatchie Electric Coop _3.21c Tri-County Electric Coop 2.22c What say you? So the Coops pay no taxes to build and support schools; they pay nothing to support the State, County and Municipal govern ments; pay nothing to maintain public peace and public order; pay nothing to protect you in your person—(as well as the wife and children). It also borrows money from the Government at 2% al though the Government itself pays 4%—while the Coops borrow at 2%, as a pamepered, petted pre ferred corporation! I’ve just read that a private Company has just borrowed 50 million and paid 4.- 545% interest. Are you in favor of those who pay heavily to support your schools, protect you in your person and property, or those who pay nothing for that and, in spite of all this, they charge more- One of the most interesting is the ambitious effort of non-paying (virtually so) Coops to extend their range. Is this to help the farmers? Oh, no! The Coops have become a vast competitive busi ness, practically untaxed. And they have 5 1 /2 million dol lars invested as a surplus! They have served their purpose, why continue? It is like all jobs: no body event wants to “turn loose”. All ride the gravy train forever. Randy Randall Dies During Baseball Game J. M. (Randy) Randall III, 15- year-old Beaufort High School student and athlete, collapsed and died on the baseball field at Beau fort last Wednesday afternoon while pitching the opening game of the season against Wade Hamp ton High School. Randy was a member of the jun ior class at Beaufort High, and was active in ail athletic, as well as other school activities. He was a member of Beaufort Presbyter ian Church and was a leader ofi youth work in his church. ( He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Morgan Randall Jr. Mrs. Randall is the former Mis..- Julia M. Smith of Newberry. In addition to his parents, he is survived by one brother, Derrili, and one sister, Julia of Beaufort; his maternal grandmother, Mrs. R. Derrili Smith of Newberry; an unde, R. Clayton Smith of New berry; and a number of other rela tives. Funeral services were held Fri day morning at 9:30 a.m. from Beaufort Presbyterian Church, conducted by his pastor, Rev. Wil- shimer. Burial was held Friday afternoon at 3:00 p. m. at Spring- dale Cemetery in Newberry. If our nation is headed for the bow-wows, as some think, it will be because the claim of Party and Party regularity is more respect ed than the welfare of the nation. Because Mr. Kennedy calls him self a Democrat many men in Congress, who call themselves Democrats, will support any meas ure he advocates, even if it clear ly point to the demnition bow wows. They would rather sink with Mr. Kennedy than survive with a nation on a firm founda tion. Consider this foreign-aid fool ishness: Don’t we know that no one’s loyalty can be bought? Can we depend on France? Not if De- Gaulle falls; can we count on It aly? It has already turned leftist. Can we count on Argentina? It has turned back to us but may just as easily turn away again; can we count on Britain? A shift in power may change everything. The one clear course for us is to build our own country and make ourselves strong here at home. If we build^ impregnably here the others may think a long time be fore attacking us; but by scatter ing our forces all over the world we are ignorantly laying ourselves wide open to losses there. If you don’t agree, think of how much it would cost us in men and supplies to protect our outlying forces in case of attack. “Antarctica, a continent long considered as remote and inacess- ible as the moon, suddenly is bursting with new scientific ac tivity. Scurrying about the vast and barren land, investigators are punching holes deep into the mile- thick ice cap. They’re banding girds, launching ballons, making weather recordings, setting up atomic reactors and performing hundreds of other scientific chores. And the pace of activity is quickening. The U. S. scientists now are decking out a veritable floating laboratory, the USNS El- tanin, for further Antarctic ex ploration. The ship, docked in Washington, D. C., last weok, will churn off to Antarctica in April with elaborate equipment and 30 scientists aboard. The Eltanin, converted at a cost of $1,500,000, will zig-zag along the Antarctica ice pack. One of its missions: To survey the area where the cold waters of Antarc tica sink under the wa m waters of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. This area is particularly interesting to scientists because it’s rich in marine life and the action of the currents there affects ocean movements in the southern hemisphere, as well as the climate. All this—and more to come— adds up to the greatest scientific assault ever undertaken in the Ant arctica. The results could be dra matic and widely important in such fields as weather forecasting, spa<*2 exploration and global com munications. But aside from these practical applications of new-found knowledge, the probe of this large ly unknown continent stacks up as one of the great adventure stories of our time. A less hospitable land than Antartica is hard to imagine. Wildly howling winds, with speeds often reaching 100 miles an hour, whip across the dazzling white The Reverend Dr. Enoch C.

WILSON HARDER Many very fine people live in Mount Olive, Mississippi. And it is not their fault that they live in a town in a state where the per capita income is about the lowest in the United States. * * * Economically, the entire sooth is on the move, and it is the hope and desire of every think ing American that in the near future the economy of Mississip pi will be such that the per capita in come is on a par with the c. W. Harder highest in the nation. *' * * But right now, no* big Fifth Avenue furrier in New York is opening a big new store in Mount Olive, stocking it with the finest of mink and chin chilla. Neither is he laying off people in New York, to finance his Mount Olives venture. * o * However, far-fetched as this seems, this is the basis for a lot of the argument being used to eliminate U. S. tariffs. If this is not done, the cry is, this nation will not be able to sell anything to the nations in the European Common Market. * * * There is a fundamental law of business involved here. That is you cannot sell people unless they have the money to buy. * • • At the present time, the peo ple of these European nations have only $642 per capita per year to spend. It is optimisti cally expected that the com mon market will “boom” this to $844 by 1970. By 1959 the American people had an annu al per capita to spend of $2,166, VnMm'M "f T-inl>■•••< and by the time the 1961 figures are computed tills will un doubtedly be well over $2,200, or almost three times what it is hoped average European will have eight years hence. * * « Thus the concept that every body will live happily ever after with American incomes buying cheap labor imported products, and European in comes somehow buying expen sive American products L somewhat akin to the recipe for ox-rabbit stew. Put one ox and one rabbit in the pot. a a * At the present time it is as serted that Europe buys $6 bil lion from the U.S. while the U.S. only buys $4 billion from Europe. But $6 ballon of U.S. products at U.S. costs is far less v me than $4 billion of European products at foreign costs. a a v In addition, there are other factors. Tobacco is a major U.S. export to Euorpe. A pack age of English cigarettes, for example, that sells for 20 cents on the high seas when tax free, costs 68 cents in England when the British purchase tax must be paid at the retail counter. Thus, on the British income level, there is little hope of increasing tobacco consump tion, because how many more packs of cigarettes at 68 cents each can the average English man hope to buy. * * * Thus, this whole question gets down to one of common sense. As any merchant, on any Main Street in the land knows when people lack mon ey, they do not buy. An Italian, living on $650 a year, is not a prime prospect for goods pro duced in America at a labor cost of around $3 per hour. Bus iness still depends on money. SENATOR i STROA^ THURMOND Reports PEOPLE A Lesson for America THE SENATE’S Special Pre paredness Subcommittee inves tigating muzzling of the mili tary has turned to troop infor mation and education programs of the armed services. Some time within the next few weeks the investigation will focus again on censorship of anti communist statements when the State Department returns with its package of alibis about its heavy hand in censorship. THIS SECOND phase of the investigation has already re vealed some glaring deficiencies in preparing our military per sonnel to face the communist enemy and his devious methods in either a hot or cold war. As evidence of this Defense De partment witnesses have re vealed a new comprehensive program which was put together after the investigation was au thorized. THE MOST interesting, in formative and candid witness to come before our subcommittee thus far has been Lt. Col. Wil liam Mayer. He is the famous Army neuro-psychiatrist who interviewed more than 1,000 Americans who became captives in the Korean War. COL. MAYER testified on all three phases of the investiga tion—censorship, troop informa tion, and cold war seminars. On censorship he favors this be done only for security purposes. On Army troop information programs he said they had been “more often than not a failure, useless or even negative in their effect, in many instances.” As to military participation in semi nars, he supported the position that the military should share its observations and expertise with the public as is possible. THE OVERALL message Col. Mayer delivered to the subcom mittee was addressed to all Americans. Simply stated it was this: The cooperation given the enemy by approximately 1/3 of the POWs—and Mayer says r.o.xt of this was done without torture or particular duress— reflects “aspects of our individ ual and national character that deviate significantly from what is generally believed to be the standard of morally respons ; ble behavior required of free men * in a free society.” HE ADDED: “Soldiers are not . separate species. Most of them are typical Americans, somewhat above the average in physical and mental health and education. If a Code (of Con duct) is needed for these young men, then the ideas in it are needed by all Americans, and needed as working, vital, active standards for the self-regula tion, self-discipline, and indi vidual honor required of the citizens of a State which would govern itself by the intelligent consent of the governed. “I believe that our phenome nal comfort and success and ap parent security in this country, among other things, are leading to the languishing of our basic principles, and can lead ulti mately to our destruction, whether communists or other tyrants exist in the world or not. And I believe that values and principles must be enun ciated, clearly defined, and ac tively taught—not just once by the authors of the Federalist Papers or the Constitution, but by each succeeding generation of parents and teachers, preach ers, and governors. I think that if we fail to do this, we live in a fool’s paradise, whose days are numbered.” IN EFFECT the Colonel said we have gone soft in America, and until we toughen up, we’re not going to solve the novel and frightening problems we dis covered about our national char acter in Korean POW camps. The job is one for all Americans, and revolves around very basic American principles—individual personal responsibility and ini tiative.
