THE “SPECTATOR’S” COLUMN
I know the two United States
Senators from South Carolina and
have had a long-time friendship
with them; I also cherish a friend
ship with those members of the
House from our State, especially
Mendel Rivers and Bryan Dorn.
I claim Congressman McMillan al
so though he wouldn’t know me
from the proverbial Adam’s house
cat. Our South Carolina men are
among the level-headed men and
I appreciate their sound attitude
and steadfast purpose even when
we don’t see alike on rare occas
ions. I have lived long enough to
know that I may be wrong, so in
thinking of our fellowmen we
must judge them by the rectitude
of their intentions, just as we do
our neighbors.
Congressman Rivers is the Rep
resentative from my district and
is always at work for his district,
as well as for our state and for
all the nation. Representative
Watson, a new man, but a man of
notable activity and his course has
earned the approval of most of
us.
Congressman William Jennings
'Bryan Dorn worthily marches in
the splendid tradition of the great
William Jennings Bryan, a nota
ble figure in our history.
Congressman Dorn has assum-
marized his objection to the so-
called Civil Rights Bill, a measure
obnoxious to millions of citizens
and a bill repugnant to our Con
stitution and to the principals on
which our great Nation was found
ed.
I quote Mr. Dorn.
“We are confronted witth a pow
erful coalition of Republicans and
Northern Democrats who are de
termined in this election year to
steamroll and railroad this bill
over the majority of the American
people. It has been assigned top
priority by the Republicans and
Democratic hierarchy in a merci
less effort to woo the controlled
minorities of the great cities and
place the American people in a
Civil Rights strait jacket. This
bill is the most brazen calculated
attack on individual freedom and
property rights in the history of
western civilization.
Title I of the Civil Rights Bill
would place control of election ma
chinery in the hands of the At
torney General. Under the power
conferred by this section of the
bill, the Attorney General could
eventually influence every election
for Federal office in this country.
The people of Russia are permitt
ed to vote and are virtually forced
to do so, but with only one ticket
on the ballot.Ninety-eight per cent
of the people in Germany under
Hitler voted, but they could only
vote for Hitler and his gang. The
power given the Attorney Gen
eral to go out and register voters
under this title of the bill will be
used to bloc vote tthese registered
voters. This section will promote
corruption, political machines and
will become a mockery of the right
to one’s choice. I maintain we
should have the right to vote of
our own free will and accord and
the right to have that vote count
ed. J here is a vast difference in
voting in a free election and being
voted.
Title II will give the Attorney
General gestapo powers over ho
tels, motels, restaurants, cafeter
ias, lunch-rooms, gasoline stations,
ets. This section is a most sinister
and calculated attack on property
rights. It is a long step toward
collectivization of our private en
terprise system. It is a directt at
tack on the ownership of property.

Last Chance for Victory
THE UNITED STATES is
now faced with one of the most
crucial decisions of the so-called
“cold wax.” On this decision
hangs the immediate fate of all
Southeast Asia, and ultimately,
all of Asia. The last opportuni
ty to prevent this strategic area
of the world from falling to
communism is rapidly slipping
from our grasp.
WE ARE LOSING the war in
Vietnam. We are losing, not be
cause the communists are strong
er, but because we have been at
tempting for several years to
fight with one hand tied behind
Uncle Sam’s back. In effect, we
have permitted the communists
to make the rules for the war,
and we have required both our
own ana allied forces there to
abide by the communist rules.
WHEN THE FRENCH were
thrown out of Southeast Asia,
we moved in to attempt to save
the area from communist take
over. At that point, the situation
was bad. Since then, especially
since we helped depose the Diem
regime, the situation has grown
progressively worse.
THE INITIAL breakdown
came when the U. S. policy
makers determined in 1962 that
the war in Laos shoulc be re
solved by a “political settle
ment," which took the form of a
communist • dictated coalition
government. As usual, the Reds
won the settlement. The “neu
tralist" government of Laos gets
huge sums of U. S. aid, and the
Reds get untouchable supply
routes from North Vietnam to
their guerrilla forces in South
Vietnam.
EVEN BEFORE the “political
solution" in Laos, the commu
nists were fighting u. South
Vietnam with the advantage of
having a sanctuary ir North
Vietnam, above the 17th parallel.
The reds were also using Lao
tian territory as a clandestine
supply route. However, afte* the
coalition government was estab
lished. Laos became an addition
al sanctuary and a major supply
point was establisheo in Laos
on the Plaine des Jarres
CAMBODIA, once a U S. ally
of sorts, has uow turned so
“neutralist" that 0. S personnel
have been expelled froir the
country and U. S. aid refused
Cambodia also has * common
border with South Vietnam, and
has become another sanctuary
for Red guerrillas.
REGARDLESS of how well
the South Vietnamese forces and
their some 14,000 U. S. military
“advisors” fight and “train,” it
has proved impossible to win
the war so long as the Reds
have supply routes and sanc
tuaries which cannot be touched
by the U. S. and its allies.
THE U. S. is ai last facing
up to the fact that the war will
soon be over and lost if the rules
are not changed. Already the
policy of neutralism is being
urged, even by some in our own
country, as the only solution
for Southeast Asia. Neutralism,
however, means but one thing—
communist takeover of South
east Asia, and eventually all of
Asia.
THE ALTERNATIVE it to
permit the South Vietnamese to
take the war to the enemy. This
the U. S. has now threatened
to do. It is too late for words
alone, however. We will have to
take action to prove that we are
no longer fighting by tht com
munist ground rules and that
the sanctuaries are no longer
immune.
THERE IS, of course, a cer
tain element of risk involved in
taking action against the com
munist sanctuaries in North
Vietnam, Laos, or Cambodia. Al
ready the Soviets have announced
support of the Kremlin for the
Viet Cong, an obvious attempt
to bluff the U. S. in Vietnam, as
they did in Korea.
THE DECISION of U. S. pol
icy will be made shortly. No de
cision will lead to loss of South
east Asia faster than a decision
by the II. S. to pull out. We are
now fighting in South Vietnam,
but the war cannot be won by
fighting in !Saigon. Our chances
of winning can be improved
immeasurably by eliminating the
Red supply points and routes on
tht Plaine des Jarres in Laos.
The real key to victory, however,
lies in Hanoi, 'he capital of
North Vietnam.
IF THE COMMUNIST aim f
world domination is to be thwart
ed, the tide must be turned
somewhere. The time has come
for the United States to make
ground rules which will enable
our allies, with U. S. assistance,
to truly neutralize the commu
nist sanctuaries.
Sincerely,
It subverts the Constitution which
guarantiees property rights.
Title III would place every city
and state park in the country un
der the complete domination of the
Attorney General.
Title IV would complete Federal
| control of education. It legalizes
bribery, grants, loans and all the
worstt forms of trickery to gain
control of and nationalize the ed
ucational system of the United
Stattes. It will give the Depart
ment of Health, Education, and
j Welfare with its Commissioner
of Education the authority and
the obligation to indoctrinate the
teachers, to set curriculums, and
j to regulate even school social func-
' tions.
Title V will make permanent the
Commission of Civil Rights—ano
ther permanent agency to harass,
investigatte and intimidate the
American people. It will be their
business to find something to do
to justify its existence. By its
very design it will be the epitome
of harassment and meddling, ano
ther empire-building, growing new
agency in an already bloated and
over-expanded Federal bureaucra
cy.
Title VI grants every depart
ment of the Federal government
'and every agency of the Federal
government the power to with
hold Federal assistance to any
individual, local project or local
program unless that individual or
program conforms to every con
tortion of the bureaucratic mind in
the realm of alleged discrimina
tion. This Title of the Civil Rights
Bill would subject every farmer
who receives soil conservation and
soil bank payments or price sup-
portts, watershed projects and
farm ponds tto blackmail and pres
sure to permit unwanted and un
warranted trespassing, fishing,
hunting, etc. Private pine tree for
ests under the soil bank program
could conceivably be opened up to
trespassing and even condemna
tion and regulation by the Federal
Government. Owners of farm
ponds and pasture land created
under the gr ;at soil conservation
program * ou u be subjected to
charges of discrimination. This
section of the bill would place
every local city street and State
highway project under the Fed
eral Government.
Title VII creates the old dis
credited and often repudiated Fair
Employment Practices Commission
(FEPC). This section will place
virtually every business in Amer
ica, large and small, under the
constant regulation and supervis
ion of the Federal Government.
Private enterprise in America, un
der this section could become a
political pawn in the hands of the
Federal Government to be man
ipulated and forced to submit to
the demands of minorities, street
agitators and violent demonstra
tions. No business in America
would be free from constant har-
rassment from screaming, yelling
mobs, lay downs and ‘injunctive
intimidation’. It would simply
place the Federal Government in
control of all employment, public
and private. Of course, this sec
tion will create another commiss
ion of the Federal Government to
be known as the Fair Employment
Practices Commission with a high
salaried bureaucracy and per
diem—a commission with num
erous agents to check books, prod
and harass.
Under Title VIII, even the Sec
retary of Commerce is brought in
to the act and is directed under
this section to conduct surveys and
compile registration and voting
statistics in any geographic area
recommended by the Civil Rights
Commission. The Attorney Gen
eral, the permanent Civil Rights
Commission, the Commissioner of
Education, FEPC and every agen
cy of the Federal Government, to
the powers behind this bill, do not
constitute enough instrumentali
ties of harassment; and therefore,
the Secretary of Commerce is di
rected, with the Census Bureau,
etc., to join the campaign against
individual freedom and property
rights.
Title IX and Title X of the Bill
are additions to a very far-reach
ing and dangerous bill. No two
lawyers can agree on the future
effects of this ill-conceived legis
lation. An overwhelming majority
of the great lawyers throughout
the country and in Congress pri
vately and many publicly, agree
that this is the worst bill ever to
come before congress.
This Civil Rights Bill now be
fore the House is the most far-
reaching and evil legislation
the history of this Nation. If en
acted in its present form, B will
shake the very foundation stones
of our form of government. It
will undermine the private enter
prise system and individual prop
erty rights. It will destroy the
Constitution and could lead to a
Federal dictatorship with a Wash
ington MKVD terrorizing the
American people.
This bill is being considered as
a direct result of pressure. It is
forced upon the Congress by vio
lence in the streets, illegal demon
strations and extreme agitation. It
is here because of bloody attacks
on the police of this nation.
Congress should legislate in a
cool, deliberate, calm and cautious
atmosphere. We should not legis
late at every whim of the street
mob. Blackmail will whet the ap
petite of the mob for more black
mail:”
I offer Congressman Dorn’s ob
servations with appreciation of
the vigorous attitude of the gen
tlemen who represent us, and not
just narrowly us and our South
ern tradition, but the fundamental
principals in which our mighty and
glorious nation has rested during
all its history.
ARE YOU
LISTENING?
I know now that the vexing
problem of Bushy Park has been
solved. Since the South Carolina
Electric and Gas company has en
tered upon the scene, all the zeal,
intelligence, and resources of that
vast organization will develop the
full potential of the opportunity.

The tragis misfortune of our
Methodist brethren in the great
fire which played havoc with Col
umbia college will surely redound
to the strength and glory of our
fellow Christians and to the great
denomination they nobly repre
sent. In the titanic effort of the
Methodists to rebuild their College
the denomination, under Bishop
Hardin and President Spears, and
the trustees and Methodists in the
pews, will, with renewed zeal and
purpose, erect a temple of learn
ing worthy of the great people
and consecrated to the lofty pur
pose of serving our State and fur
thering the Kingdom among us.

“Will a man rob God? Yet ye
have robbed me. But ye say,
Wherein have we robbed thee? In
tithes and offerings." Malachi 3:8.
We live in a society that is ruled
by Federal law, County law, city
law, corporation law, in-laws and
out-laws. Because of all of these
laws we are compelled to pay busi
ness tax, amusement tax, street
tax, heat tax, school tax, gasoline
tax, sales tax, personal property
tax, poll tax, use tax, road tax
and income tax.
We are required by law to get
a business license, driver’s license,
driver’s license, hunting license,
fishing license, dog license, and
automobile license. For our own
safety we need life insurance, old
age insurance, accident insurance,
liability insurance, health insur
ance, property insurance, fire in
surance, earthquake insurance and
unemployment insurance.
Everyone knows more about our
business than we do ourselves. We
are inspected, expected, disrespec
ted, dejected, dfected, examined, in
formed, required fined and com
manded. If we do not live up to
the standards of our neighbors we
are boycotted, talked about, lied
about, held up, held down, belittl
ed, robbed and ruined, and we
have the feeling that if we are
going to make ends meet we will
have to kill the wolf at the door
and sell his hide to make up the
difference.
Now, does God still expect me
to give a tenth of my income? Yes
God says in the Bible that the
first tenth, (not what’s left over)
belongs to him. He tells us that
we have no right to use that for
our own benefit for any reason. To
complete the text he added “Bring
ye all the tithes into the store
house, that there may be meat in
mine house, and prove me now’
herewith saith the Lord of hosts,
if I w’ill not open you the windows
of heaven and pour you out a
blessing, that there shall not be
room enough to receive it.”

THE WEEK'S LETTER: “I
have been going with a boy for
two years. In September, 1963,
this boy two-timed me twice with
the same girl. He told me he was
sorry and that he loved me and
cared nothing at all about her. I
forgave him and took him back,
but I still have doubts. I don’t feel
that I can fully trust him. Is it
right for me to feel the way I do?
Should I tell this boy how I feel?
What should I do? Breaking up is
the last thing I want. I only feel
this way when he is not with me
OUR REPLY: Apparently, you
forgave—but you refuse to forget
Since you have such doubts, you
have not forgiven completely. You
just went through the motions.
Two months later is not the
time to tell this boy you feel you
can’t trust him. You should have
given him tl>is message back in
September—and then put it out of
your mind until he gave you some
reason for doubting his sincerity.
If the boy is sincere, you do him
an injustice and at the same time
make yourself needlessly miser
able. If you have reason to doubt
his sincerity, tell him how you
feel; and why you feel this way.
Just be sure you have something
to go on. A mere “feeling” that he
is “two-timing* you, or that be
cause he did so once, he will do so
again, isn’t enough.
You can’t go through life wor
rying about what “someone" is do
ing every moment they are not
with you. There are t her im
portant things in life that demand
your time and consideration—and
none of us can put forth the best
effort at one thing wbi’e our mind
and attention is devoL^i to some
thing else.

A NEW WAY TO ORGANIZE
YOUR RETIREMENT DAYS
1LTERE IS A formula that may
make you happy in retire
ment.
The formula comes from a man
named Frederick R. Starnes, who
headed south when he retired.
It was Mr. Starnes’s belief that
the days of free choice that come
with retirement must have some
purpose to them. To get the pur
pose, the days have to be organ
ized and scheduled.
“This wasn’t a whim of mine,”
he says. “I had observed retired
people for five years, and without
exception I had seen that those
who disciplined themselves to pur
sue some purpose day by day were
happy. Those who didn’t, weren’t
So Mr. Starnes came up with a
formula which divides the day for
him and his wife into seven seg
ments:
8-11 A.M.—Physical activity
11- 2 P.M.—Mental activity
2- 3 P.M.—Nap time
3- 5 P.M.—Leisure, pure and
simple
5-7 P.M.—Cooking, dinner,
dishes, shower
7-12 P.M.—The evening news
papers, magazines,
television, and so
cial affairs
12- 7 A.M.—Sleep
In the physical segment from 8
to 11: (Breakfast, the morning pa
pers and house cleaning come
from 7 to 8.)
Swimming All yard work
Golf Do-It-Yourself jobs <
Fishing Junking t
Walking All civic, church jobs
Mr. • and Mrs. Starnes deter
mined to go swimming and golf
ing three times a week, for
health’s sake, and always go on
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays
to avoid weekend crowds. Walk
ing and fishing are now and then.
Yard work is all done on Satur
days (when neighbors are doing
it) and Mondays. Do-It-Yourseif is
always pegged to one long-range
job, which Mr. Starnes says you
must have. (At the moment he is
making a mosaic walk which will
take him six more months.) Junk
ing is a once-weekly tour out the
country roads talking to rural
people and picking up any an
tiques or second-hand furniture
they can refinish. Solicitations,
meetings, etc. for church and
civic groups are done during the
physical segment of the day, or
aren’t done.
In the mental segment from
11 to 2:
Desk work
Serious book reading
Writing
Library research
Attending university courses
“Salon” lunches
Going to art-music classes
The desk work, including letters
to the children and others, bills,
money matters, etc., is scheduled
for one hour a week, on Mondays.
The reading is daily, for one hour,
and is concerned with current
serious books available at the local
library. The writing includes a re
tirement diary, notes on family
history, and various attempts by
Mr. and Mrs. Starnes to compose
poetry and fiction. Library re
search is a labored effort to be
come experts on special subjects,
with Mr. Starnes concentrating at
the moment on the geology of his „
area and Mrs. Starnes researching
local wild flowers.
