COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS South Carolina was treated* to an unusual campaign recently. The rivalry of Senator Olin Johns ton and Major W. D. Workman was on a high plane. Mr. Johns ton’s victory was a personal tri bute, I think, and I agree with the editorial comment of the News & Courier. I do not regard Senator Johnston’s victory as an endorse ment of President Kennedy whose fanciful, bumbling and incompe tent Administration does not com mand our respect or confidence. Mr. Johnston was a well-known figure in our public life before Mr. Kennedy changed from knick erbockers to long pants. Bill Workman has been an active, com petent journalist during the long years I have known him. Bill is a man of principles, a constant contender for what he behaves in. Se were were treated • to a campaign without mud or slander. South Carolina has outgrown many early prejudices, notably in politics. General Eisenhower near ly carried the State twice; and he won in Richland, Charleston, Sum ter, Orangeburg, and many other counties. Major Workman “car ried” Calhoun, Sumter, Clerendon, and Charleston and Greenville. Probably Pickens, too. That was a notable outcome. In general I thing South Caro lina is as nearly free of small pre judices as any state in the union. We have good relations between business and workers. I don’t like the expression Capital and Labor, for Business operates on the mon ey invested by thousands of men and women of small means, most of whom have invested savings of payroll. And. you know, the head of the enterprise is himself on the payroll so he belongs to “Ubor”, as he works his brain day and night to keep his business going, for on his skill and wisdom de pends the successful operation of the plant. Otherwise we would have no jobs and no wages. (Editor’s note.—It might be well to state here that this newspaper is not always in accord with the views of the writer of this column. Ergo, we completely disagree with his statement that the WorTtman- Johnston campaign was * clean one. U W. V'. /A And while we are about it we might ask where the support of the writer of this ; column was when Bill Workmah was 4rut >ai- tling for the things he. Spectator, harps about, week after week., and week after week. Was he al&id, like thousands of oth&^yibftt he would offend someone?). I like the Spanish people, so I’m sure I understand the Cubans. I think my ten years as a Dir ector General of a South Ameri can republic prepares me to offer a suggestion. You may remember that I urged a blockade of Cuba nearly two years ago. Instead of that we sponsored a sort of far- sical invasion that died of its own impracticality, as anyone of less than a thousand dollars. La bor frequently means members of Unions, though all of us who work are engaged in labor and belong to Labor, for we are not people of wealth. Even the bank ers of today operate on the small, as well as large, savings of men and women who frugally save a part of their earnings. Moreover, in our State a man is a man; and he is treated as "a man: employers have pleasant co operative relations with all “the force”, all those who are on the sound judgment could have fore told. I think there is an approach worth trying, especially if we mean to deal with the situation | capably. Let us find a man, just one man and he without a fanfare and trumpets and also without a lot of talk to reporters in the prelim inary stac;e. If a man -(.simpatico, as the Spaniards call an engaging per son) that man might meet Castro amiably and tell him, in Spanish, about the following: Senor Castro, let us talk man to man to see if we can find com mon ground for a peaceful settle ment and the assured peace and prosperity of Cuba. We do not wish to invade Cuba; we do not wish to govern Cuba; we fervently wish a life of peace and prosperity for Cuba. We do not wish to meddle with the in ternal .Affairs of Cuba; nor are we relentlessly your enemy. * see what a basis of ac- ght be between Cuba and ited States. s prepare a basis for the indermrffication U of Americans whose property has been expro priated, preferably a resumption of their operations and a basis of coverage for losses. 2.

In passing, it seems that one might induce Senor Castro to look into ihe future. Imagine Cuba as an- industrial center in command ing situation for vast Western trade.

C. goal o f more stable economic progress requires a much more searching analysis of the num erous and varied forces responsi ble for the growth process Our human resources occupy a central role, for growth is to a major ex tent a function of our labor force, hours worked, and productivity. More successful public and priv ate policies for production, invest ment, education, and the like, es sential to greater efficiency in this ever; more competitive world, should develop from broader ap preciation of significant changes in manpower resources and occu pational structure. We have been plagued for sew eral years, through recession and recovery, with a persistently high rate of unemployment, which thus far failed to respond ve: well to a varied range of programs. Perhaps these have* phasized too much the need fci: stimulating demand and ifte ing personal and business ing, and have recognized too lit tle the possibility that much job lessness is rooted in the reduced labor requirements of many in dustries, based upon shifts de mand and upon rapid technologi cal change. At the same time that we have experienced excessive unemploy ment, there has ben a shortage of workers in professional and skill ed categories in science, engineer ing, education, and medicine, and in numerous other occupations. This has limited our growth op portunities. To be sure, the skills in short supply do not match up very well with the skills of most of the unemployed. Lack of mobil ity of labor along with lack of information about job availability in other labor markets have fur ther complicated getting people back to work. We face even more weeping pop ulation and manpower changes. Unless we can develop more work ers with the requisite skills to meet the exacting requirements of a dynamic nation in a space age, we shall seriously handicap our national strength and advance ment. For a comprehensive source of employment statistics we must turn to the decennial census of population. Although useful pri marily for appraising historical trends, these data are now reas onably current. Thus, the accom panying diagrams of employment by industry and occupation group furnish valuable perspective o n the period since 1940. The data are shown on a ratio scale to fac ilitate comparison of relative changes. Among the shifts by industry which stand out is the decline in basic or extractive lines—agricul ture, which dropped from second to sixth in rank, and forestry, fisheries, and mining. Govern ment set the pace for expansion, more than doubling in size and moving from sixth to fourth place, while construction, finance, and manufacturing showed the next largest relative gains. The occupational breakdown highlights significantly the im pact of technology and the grow ing demand for skills. Profess ional and technical jobs more than doubled, to move from seventh to fourth place, along vpth clerical and kindred occupations, which gained from fifth to second rank. Craftsmen and foremen came next in relative increase, followed by sales. Farm occupations dropped by more than one half, moving from first to eighth rank,, with laborers also decreasing. As for the future, one of the most dramatic and disturbing sta tistics of manpower change is the sharp increase in the number of young people to reach 18 years of age—from where they go on to college or enter the labor force. The annual number will rise from 2.6 million in 1960 to 3.8 million in ,1965, and remain close to this point to 1970.” WILL FOREIGN POLICY BECOME CLEAR Even before the Cuban block ade was set up, news based upon intelligence reports was inform ing the public that $200 million worth of arms had been delivered to Castro by Russia. As much as half of these armaments were sent to Cuba since mid-summer. The build-up came apparently af ter Khruschev had convinced him self, on the basis of our inadequate foreign policy, that the Monroe Doctrine no longer would be ap plied. As long ago as July 12, 1960, the Russian premier had declared the Monroe Doctrine dead. So had some of our left wingers. Thus it developed that we en couraged the Russian leader to try to proceed with the burial of the Monroe Doctrine. Thus it de veloped that the Communist world armed Castro, helping him equip perhaps 400.000 armed men into the second most potent force in the hemisphere. Thus it was that Russia was working feverishly to complete installations of missile bases while we were busy with the fall elections, after which she Undoubtedly intended to use the .jCuban fortress as a threat to get concessions on Berlin. Prayer for Today God of truth and righteousness help us to discern between truth and falsehood that we may never be led into error and ini'- quity. Enable us by divine wis dom to know the right and by divine power to do the right. Grant to those in positions of authority and responsibility the gift of wisdom, that they may exercise their offices with hon or and justice. We ask these things in the name of Christ, our Lord and our King. Amen. He never knew what real hap piness was until he gpt married, then it was to late. What After Elections The President, by his strong pronouncements on Cuba and re versal of his hands-off policy, has caught up with the thinking of the American people. This policy must be supported by all of us, for firmness is the only attitude that the Reds will respect. How ever, it is not easy to forget that a show of strength that might have been used with greater suc cess months earlier was being characterized only recently as “rash talk.” Chester Bowles was allowed to warn the U. S. to be ware of world opinion lest we “blacken our reputation in the U. N.” so as to give the Soviets the edge in diplomacy! Mr. 'Kennedy has in the past been concerned about the image of the U. S. throughout the world. So have all of us, and this will be as serious a problem after the elections as before. The in creasing frustration at home, the growing anger of our people be cause of foreign policy mistakes, the loss of respect in Latin Am erica as elsewhere—all these, will require more attention from our national leadership. Less atten tion appears to have channeled toward developing strong policies that would win the cold war than was devoted to throttling the con servative point of view. Betrayal Of Friends On the home front, the cry is against “extremists and the “ul tras”. Abroad, the same battle is waged against “colonialism.” No where is much being done to car ry effectively the ideological bat tle to the leal culprits. It does not seem fashionable, from the top on down these days, to be an anti-Communist either in domestic or international affairs. In too many places throughout the world U. S. advisers are appeasing, back- peadling, and betraying our true friends. At home some office seekers appear to be fighting the anti-Communists most of all. Words could be found—if one looked back a year or so—that were as reassuring as the present effort to quarantine and disarm Cuba. When he was campaigning for example, Mr. Kennedy called for policies that would show the Russians that “we are permitting no expansion of his foothold in our hemisphere.” Earlier as Sen ator Kennedy, he had called Cas tro “a source of maximum dang er.” One wonders what happened in the interim to those points of views, all of which properly char acterized the conspiracy of inter national communism against the whole free world? What Policy? Are Mr. Kennedy's advisors, these men who are capable- of such fierce political expression a-* gainst the conservatives and anti- Communists, making a real con tribution? Are they creating something to replace the Monroe Doctrine, that was so badly weak ened as to be hlmost ready for burial by Mr. Khrushchev? Will we go ahead and find the best ways to oppose the empire-build ing of world communism, or must we follow a policy of accomodat ing the Communist bandits where- ever they choose to expand? Must we encourage their infiltration to help anti-Communists abroad, with foreign aid and then refuse who are our real friends? Every American, voter or office holder, should recognize the Com- muist world activity for what it is—a copspiracy against free men everywhere. By trickery, by sub version, by infiltration the world over, the Reds advance, using force only when they have to. o-Qj % West North East pass 1 NT pass pass 3 A puff pass pass pass BY MARY STONE East and West vulnerable.

East and West became too involved with hearts. West should have taken the first spade trick and led the king off the board. Then on the first club lead West should have played low. East and West then could have had two spade tricks, two heart tricks, and two clubs trick for a two trick set. If people would say what they tnink, there wouldn’t be so much conversation.
