Benson PRESIDENT—NATIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAM Searcy, Arkansas THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA s®-: INSIDE THE COMMUNIST MIND Despite the flexibility of their “line” and their frequent incon sistencies and contradictions, Com munists of all generations have held only a few basic concepts. This view is presented by Dr. James D. Bales in his new book, Communism: Its Faith and Falla cies (Grand Rapids 6, Michigan: •Baker Book House, $3.95). __ Dr. Bales, who is professor of Christ ian doctrine at Harding College, has put extensive research and many years of close study and ob servation into this roundup of Communist philosophy. He has demonstrated most concretely why it is that Americans must study this subject, and his book at the same time offers us the materials and the guidance for such a study. In a masterful chapter on “Athe ism versus Theism,” Dr. Bales with devastating logic turns the Commu list inside out to show that his atheistic materialism is an un tenable position which ignores God as an essential aspect of rea lity and then strips man of his hu manity. It will amaze most read ers, I believe, to follow him as he shows the thirteen “articles of faith” that the Communist must hold while refusing to Relieve in God. Their Ways Of Thinking Dr. Bales also delves into the peculiar modes of Communist thinking—based on dialectical and historical materialism—for many pages of cool and thorough analy sis. Readeis at first may be thrown by references to Commun ist dogma such as the “universal ity, continuity, and particularity of contradictions,” as well as the “unity of opposites” and “the ne gation of negation.” However, Dr. Bales succeeds in removing most of the mystery that surrounds the dialectical jargon, a language that permits Communists to explain the past, present and future to suit themselves. The idea of “unity of opposites” for example, makes it possible for them to offer some kinds of peace ful co-existence, yet does not pre clude the “inevitability of com munism.” Even the Communist approach to subversion in dialec- ical, for they search out the con tradictions within a country to use in its destruction. This explains their use of class and racial con flicts in order to hasten the inev itable revolution, as Dr. Bales indi cates. War With Words The “semantic sabotage” that grows out of the dialectic is tre mendous, Dr. Bales shows. Time and again, the Communists have used mere words to undermine the opposition or to lull them to sleep, usually words that mean one thing to Communists and an other to non-Communists. “The dialectic teaches that progress, peace and prosperity are possible only if one works for communism ... By crying Peace, Peace, the Communists try to enlist on their side the natural yearning of man for peace . . . “Cold war is any form of resis tance to Communism which is short of a hot war. So, when the Com munists ask for a relaxation of tension and the ending of the cold war, all Communists understand this to mean that the non-Com- munist world must cease its oppo sition to communism, and let down its guard in the midst of the struggle for world conquest. For example, the overseas bases of the United States must be li quidated. It does not mean that the Communists cease their ag gression.” Plans Not Changed Throughout the non-Communist world, persons hearing this kind of talk think the Communists are renouncing their plans for world | conquest, Dr. Bales goes on to say. Sometimes it does seem that we could not have misunderstood the Communists more if we had set out deliberately to do so. Yet, more often than not, whatever they ! say, the propaganda victory is theirs. But this is only the tem porary victory of the amoral, the Godless, the destroyers. There may yet be time to un derstand them before they gobble up the rest of the world into darkness and slavery, while free nations like America stand by as if presiding over rites of aestruc- tion. If we do understand soon enough, we are more likely to gain understanding from reading books like this from hearing United Na tions oratory. In my opinion we are behind with this kind of read ing. The near-tragic mistakes we have made in foreign relations since the end of World War II testify that we have seriously mis judged the Communists again and again. FARM NOTESlSBre 1 1 '•“•iMiiiiiif mini in jj By COUNTY AGENTS What’s The Temperature It is still cool. We have yet for our soil temperature to reach 65 degrees for one day and we would like for it to be 65 for three days before we plant. The soil tempera ture is rising however and some of the farmers have started plant ing cotton. Our recommendations are now if you have both cotton and corn to plant, plant the corn first then the cotton. Prepare a firm seedbed to insure the best stand. Use the grade and amount of fertilizer as recommended in your soil test report. Fo” the most efficient use of your fertilizer un der cotton the ph should be about 6.5. To prevent seedling injury, place your cotton fertilizer in a band or bands about 3 inches be low seed level and about 3 inches to one side or both sides. If you plan to use 1000 pounds or more fertilizer per acre, broadcast most of this and work it into the top 3 or 4 inches of the seedbed before planting. Fertilize your cotton to make 2 bales per acre. It can be done in Newberry County. It was done last year. Remember to fol low all the other recommended production practices also. The farmers who used a chem ical weed control or pre-emerge chemical for weed control like it. Use CIPC or Karmex DL, 6 pounds of CIPC per acre broad cast, or 2 to 3 pounds per acre if used in 14 to 16 inch bands spray ed directly over the row at plant ing. The rates for Karmex DL are 1 to 1 Vi pounds per acre broad cast ,or 0.3 to 0.5 pounds per acre in 14 to 16-inch bands. As a rule of thumb, use 1 gallon of water per acre inch of band width. This practice is good insurance during wet spring weather when mech anical cultivation is impossible. Pre-emergence chemicals last 5 to 8 weeks if not disturbed. Small Grain The most of the small grain in the county is responding to the recent applications of Nitrogen, rain and warming weather condi tions. It looks good. Small grain can be used in so many different ways, grazing and for hay. It fits well into mechanized farming. Grain is a must for livestock since all livestock need some grain. Not only is it necessary to supplement pastures, grain increases grade and quality of meat, high milk production, poultry must have a concentrated feed. Oats make an excellent hay. For best quality, cut at first head ing—early bloom ; ng stage. Rake into windrows before hay loses the green color. P’or silage, Clemson recom mends that small grain be harvest ed while in the milk stage. Cattle readily eat small grain silage, and when oat silage is preserved with ground corn it about equals corn silage. Small grain helps to keep the silo full. It is cut when the silo is usually empty and helps make more econom. al use of si lage - harvesting eq. mient and silos. Small grain sila fe is insur ance against summer droughts. It may be harvested before tb sum mer droughts and provides iage before the summer crops are ready to harvest. One more point is with small grain land may be doubled cropped. It can be taken off the land so that soybeans or other summer crops may be planted. OF REALTY Newberry No. 1 Margaret C. Abrams to James S.

Dora Winbush, Railroad Ave., SENATOR STRO HURMOND Reports PEOPLE Disarmament—Russian Roulette DISARMAMENT is an an cient and elusive goal that has been sought by civilized socie ties since groups of people first equipped themselves for combat. Throughout history efforts to achieve disarmament have been more notable for their loftiness of purpose than for their effec tiveness. Such steps toward dis armament as have come about through international agree ments have been unilateral in application, usually against a prostrate and defeated nation at the end of a war. Even these forced disarmaments have been temporary in nature and enforced more by economic con ditions within the defeated country than by the dictates of victor nations. SINCE WORLD WAR II com munist propaganda beamed at the United States and within the United States by some well- meaning idealists and some ill- meaning collaborators has played many themes, but none more heavily than disarmament, realizing how anxious man is to seek this elusive goal. The communist idea is not to attain peace as we understand the term “peace,” but rather to disarm the only major power standing between the communist forces and their domination of the world, the United States. LAST WEEK the United States again danced to the com munist tune—as we have done almost consistently since World War II—by submitting to the Disarmament Conference at Geneva a three-staga disarma ment plan which would create a super armed force for the United Nations “with such pow er that no single nation can challenge it.” It would be super vised merely by UN spot checks. LAST FALL I called this plan to the attention of the American people, and the State Department issued a “categori cal denial” that such a plan existed. It in fact did exist in State Department Publication No. 7277, which I later fur nished to the public. Two weeks ago Senator Barry Goldwater placed in the Congressional Rec ord a news story from Geneva stating the following: “The United States will submit to the Geneva disarmament conference a plan calling for elimination of national armies within nine years and their replacement by a United Nations force.” MANY SENATORS, includ ing the Majority Leader and the Chairman and Vice Chair man of the Foreign Relations Committee, expressed shock at the news story and stated they knew nothing of such a plan. Senator Russell, Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, made this very per tinent comment: “This is the first I have heard of such a suggestion by an official of the government. I shall oppose with all my strength any pro posal which would disband the armed forces of the United States. We can talk all we please about various agree ments, but the element which is maintaining peace and pre venting a major war today is the armed might of the U.S.A., led by the Strategic Air Com mand. “I do not believe that the people of the United States would tolerate any such thing as that for five minutes, if made by any man in public life today ... It would put this country at the mercy of the Soviet Union.” I COULD NOT agree with Senator Russell more in this eloquent and brief argument against disbanding our nuclear and conventional forces, in order to create a super armed force for the United Nations. The UN is now controlled by the neutralists, who, judging by their UN voting records, are in turn controlled by the Soviet Union. THE STATE Department is playing a game of Russian rou lette when it naively proposes to lay down our arms in any type agreement with a nation whose leaders have broken 50 of 62 major agreements since World War II, and who have stated time and again that their goal is to “dethrone God and destroy capitalism.” Until the communists renounce their goal of world domination by good faith deeds—not just words— we should emphatically declare to the world that we will con sider no disarmament proposaL To do otherwise is to gamble with the liberties and lives of 186 million Americans and those of the rest of the free world, and also to mislead the world as to the motivations and aims of the communist conspiracy.

ACROSS IDEAS FROM OTHER EDITORS From the WaverJy Sun, Waver- ly, New York: The Administra tion’s latest plan for federal aid to education will cost $5,626 mil lion in various spending-and-loan programs. It's designed to help us educate our children But, like all federal aid pro grams, the real effect of the plan will be to make it more difficult for New Yorkers to maintain their own schools and colleges. That’s because New York pays more to Washington than Washington ever sends back in so-caUed aid. One part of the program—$2,298 million over the next three years for classroom construction, teach ers’ salaries and areas of special educational needs—presents a good example of unequal burden pushed on New York. New York’s share of this grant program would be about $116 million. Yet. we would pay $312 million to the fed eral government to get this $116 million, reports a statewide tax research group, the Citizens Pub lic Expenditure Survey The result: New York would suffer a net loss of $196 million on just this one aspect of the pro posal. That’s $196 million that could be used to aid education in New York. As for claims that t**e states can’t meet their education require ments, note this: in the Iasi 30 years, while enrollments have climbed 42 per cent, school ex penditures increased 571 per cent —with only a trickle of that com ing from federal funds. And note this, too: the U.S. Office of Education says the need for new classrooms will be 610,0<K) through 1968-69. But America s communities have been able to build schools at ?. rate of more than 67,000 each year in the last five years. That rate can easily take care of our future needs All in all, it makes a strong case fo r Washington allowing the states to uv> their own educational job. It’s a job that they’ve been doing ouitp well uo tr* n.-vw ■ THUKSDAY, APRIL 26, One of the selling points be ing used to seek complete des truction of the U.S. protective tariff laws is to reduce the U.S. loss of gold. * • • The seriousness of this prob lem Congressman who reports the U.S. has only $16.8 bil lion in gold left, of whksh $11.5 billion is required to support U. 8. currency, leaving only <5.3 billion te moot foreign obligations. up by c. W. Harder which now stand at $22.43 bil lion, pins $24$ billion in U.S. bonds and notes held by inter national groups, payable In gold. ooo Congressman John Dent has brought before Congress the detaUed study of tariff cutting presented to the Dent C/mmit- tee on the Impact of Imports and Exports on American Em ployment by Dr. Lewis Lloyd, economist for the Dow Chemi cal Company. <e * e Emphasising that he was ap pearing as a professional econ omist of many year's standing and not on behalf of Dow, Dr. Lloyd said that the U.S. tariff cutting policies have already created unemployment, further cutting will spread It. * • * He pointed out that in 1800 foreign commerce made up 12% of the U.S. national prod uct, 75 years later it was down to 6%, is now down to 3%. But it was perhaps most interest ing when Dr. Lloyd challenged the theory that if the U.S. e- uld sell more abroad, and this is a big thing in his mind, this would result in saving gold. © National retention of Independent Bmln— In the temperate, _ language of a scholar, he said in effect, the chicken hatched for many years by the interna tionalist;, the do-gooders and all the rest of the starry eyed ilk that dissipated American wealth in foreign give away schemes has made achieving a balance of trade impossible, e e • He said “A primary factor in our negative balance of trade payments in recent years has been our foreign aid. The data on our foreign obligations in dicates that we cannot and have not been able to finance this level of charity.” * o o He points out in the early days of the foreign give away programs, the dollars had to bo spent in the U.8. but in re cent years this has been chang ed so that the U.S. gives the dollars to foreigners so they can buy what they need from the cheapest source. He reports by 1958 only 36% of the U.8. give away dollars wore coming back to the U.S. to purchase goods. The rest went te cheap labor nations. * • e He says “If we are going to continue this massive interna tional dole the least we could do is require that all purchas es of goods and equipment be made in the U.S. so that it will support jobs in this coun try and not add to the problem we now face in our balance- of-payments deficit.” ooo Thus, it appears there are two delusions in this talk of catting tariffs so U.S. can sell more abroad. One is how a 56 cent an hour foreign worker can afford goods made by $3 per hour American labor? The other is, how do you get people to start pairing for things they have been getting for nothing?
