THE “SPECTATOR’S” COLUMN In the Charleston daily, The News and Courier, second oldest paper in South Carolina, though it is the senior daily, following close behind the Edgefield Adver tiser a vigorous and independent weekly, well in the News and Courier of Thursday, March 26th at page »B, I read this remark able headline over a dispatch from Geneva, Switzerland, '‘Backward Nations urged to assist own econ omies”! Mirabile dictu, or something like that which the classical Lat ins used to express remarkable wisdom Marvellous, what? Now why should any backward nation do anything for itself when Uncle Sam stands ready to foot the bills ? Is that suggestion of a func tionary of our Government while sojourning temporarily in Swit zerland approved by the Chief of Handouts in Washington? Incred ible, what? Why should any na tion, backward or forward or middle-of-the-road, pay it own way when Uncle Sam stands ready, willing and eager to main tain armies, fighting planes, ships of war—and billions of dollars for the nations willing to accept our handouts? We are a queer people to suggest such a course when we are over-bearingly rich with a debt of our own of three hund red twenty seven billion and an annual deficit of about eight to ten billions? My, my! Amazing, what? In ancient days, say about 1865 and for possibly thirty years the States of the South wrestled with debt, and how many billions did Europe, Asia, Africa, South Am erica send us? Ask your grand father. Here in the South, take South Carolina for example, the white people who participated in the war were disfranchised. We had a General Assembly composed largely of colored citizens, while the United States Army and sol diers on duty to hold the white people in subjection. Did you know about that? In our poverty and against big otry and every phase of harsh discrimination our grandfathers lived and worked. But today we stumble along, head over heels in debt, and cur rently increasing the debt year by year, while maintaining armed forces to protect Great Britain, France, Germany and Formosa, as well as Japan and, in addition to all that we pour out billions of dollars yearly in some form of tomfoolery called “Foreign Aid”! At one time we were regarded as people of common sense, but truly, as the Spaniards say “Sen- tido Comun, el mas raro de todos los sentidos”—Common sense, the rarest of the senses. Indeed it is far from common! That Spanish will be familiar to my old friend of the years, the editor of The News and Courier, for since his travels in Mexico and South America he is likely to ex press his thoughts in Spanish as in the moving English of Charles ton. the battle in the Senate of South Carolina over the proposal that the State Superintendent of Ed ucation should be chosen by a Commission rather than by popu lar vote in the Democratic prim ary, followed by the General Elec tion. Although I have more than a casual interest in education as a former member of that great calling I am somewhat at sea a- bout all this. It seemed to me, as to both sides, that it was much ado about nothing. If, as seems implicit in the new accounts, some Senators toiled all night; perhaps some others neg lected to report for their meals, what lies at the bottom of all this? Is there a matter of princi ple involved? If so, what princi ple, or which? Since, as I’ve frequently cited and quoted, the clear intent of our Constitution wouud vest the appointment in the hands of the Governor, why didn’t the Governor intervene to assert his prerogative? Now, then, that the tumult and the shouting are o’er where are we and what does it all amount to ? lask you. I read with some confusion of SENATOR STRO HURMONO Patriotism, Valor, and Victory ALL PEOPLE everywhere who cherish freedom have lost a staunch friend and dedicated servant in the death of General of the Army Douglas MacAr- thur. He was one of the greatest and most courageous military leaders the world has ever known. He was even more than this, however. He was a shining sym bol of patriotism and courage, and he was an uncompromising advocate of victory over the enemies of freedom. These are qualities which, unfortunately, are on the wane in the America for which General MacArthur devoted so many years of dis tinguished service. THE PATRIOTISM of Gen eral MacArthur needs no docu mentation. His record of service and his eloquent statements of loyalty to his country speak for themselves. His dedication to his j country and the people he served ran deep because it was bot tomed on a firm belief in God. Even though he was a genius in many respects, and war looked upon by many as being a demi god, he recognized that his blessings and his gifts of lead ership came from still a higher and greater power. COURAGE, which Winston Churchill has aptly described as “the first of aL human quali ties because it is the quality which guarantees all others,” came naturally to General Mac Arthur. He demonstrated his valor on many battlefields, both as a junior officer and as a gen eral officer. For these acts of gallantry, he was awarded a Congressional Medal of Honor, 20 other U. S. medals, and many more foreign decorations. HIS GREATEST ACT of cour age, however, demonstrated the exercise of moral rather than battlefield courage. MacArthur was convinced of the truism that “there can be 'O substitute for victory.” He was also con vinced that “there is only one way to win victories: attack, attack, attack!” Thus, when the U. S. State Department, the United Nations, and the British insisted on seeking a stalemate with the communists in Korea rather than victory. General MacArthur fought for his battle plans which would have given the free world a much-needed triumph over the forces of com munism at a most crucial time in world history. IN KOREA, the General risked hie illustrious career by insist ing on a battle plan of victory. He knew the communist enemy he was facing, and he knew how to whip this enemy.^He,, likewise knew that if he permitted the State Department-fihrfifsh plan of stalemate to succeed that the free world would be plagued with more of these policies of paralysis and that this could be the turning point in the war with communism—which it was. THE OFFICIAL POLICY of our government toward the Ko rean war was based or. a no- win strategy. This no-win policy has caused our nation defeat after defeat in subsequent en counters with the communists. The State Department experts concluded that Korea was “an inconclusive operation” and that “an aggressive pursuit of our military mission could lead to general war” at a time when we had the monopoly on nuclear weapons. DOUGLAS MacARTHUR was right in just about every de cision he ever made as a mili tary commander. He was never more right, however—nor cou rageous—than he was in Korea when he risked being fired in order to fight for victory over the enemy. On August 27, 1961, during the military muzzling in vestigation, I had the privilege of meeting with General Mac Arthur. He confirmed that the State Department had tied his hands in Korea and that State Department officials were re sponsible for the no-win policy. Never have I heard a more elo quent or logical assessment of the world situation and the vital need for a policy of victory for the forces of freedom. This dis cussion convinced me that we, in America, missed one of the greatest opportunities in history when we did not draft this great “old soldier** and statesman to lead us to victory in the war with communism. THE “OLD SOLDIER” lost his battle for victory in Korea, but not without a valiant stand. The only other battle he ever lost was with death, but in this fight too, he gave the battle every ounce of courage and de termination to win that his 84- year-old body could master. DOUGLAS MacARTHUR has passed on, but let us hope that the memory of his incomparable qualities will serve to revive in our nation a spirit of patriotism, courage, and the will and deter mination to win any contest In which our freedoms are chal lenged. Sincerely, As my Spectator writings and my radio talks are approve! for reading in the homes, or listening thereto I try to avoid matter that is coarse, so I merely quote some thing I read in that good home paper, The Aiken Standard and Review of my esteemed friend,, Mrs. Annie Howell King Now, just a few lines: “Shocking headlines reflecting ‘State Department Procured Call Girls for Sukarno’ to satisfy the lust of his desires (as revealed in the Allen-Scott Report, syndicat ed writer whose column appeared in the Augusta Herald on Friday, February 21, 1964)’be it wine, wo men or big hand-outs of foreign aid'. It is puzzling and shocking to be informed in open press reports that foreign aid continuance is recommended by the State Depart ment to President Johnson despite the strutting, Soviet-leaning Indo nesian ruler’s constant threat of war against Malaysia. It is re ported that he got $140.9 million last year and that his overall U. S. aid total to date is around $900 million. It is beyond my comprehension that the State Department could ever afford for its reports to dis close that the Indonesian embassy in Washington went to the extent of bluntly letting it be known that the success of Sukarno’s mission would depend on the availability of’ women*. Further, it is amazing and shocking to learn, that in advance of one visit, Sukarno is reported to have sent word he would like to have a ‘Latin type, an Ameri can type, and a Nordic type wo man’ to accompany him on his tour of the U. S. It has been indi cated that these exotic demands were fully and satisfactorily met. We wonder how many other for eign aid seekers have been treated to wine, women and big hand-outs at the cost of the poor American taxpayers with only promises to keep the peace in their countries only so long as they see fit; whe ther it be for a day a week, month or year, or until more aid is need ed? Mind you, this harem of ‘call girls’ events came about during the junkets to the U. S. in 1956, 1960 and 1961. We wonder what other kind of treatments have been given Sukarno during 1962- 1963? It has been reflected further that the amazing State Depart ment report shows clearly that officials not only assisted in meet ing Sukarno’s demand for ‘call girls,’ but condoned hisoluintg girls,’ but condoned his flouting of the Mann Act in taking them across state lines. the increase for Tennessee was only 24 per cent. It is unthinkable to me to ex pect private enterprise to support a socialized power system. There is no possible way in which the two systems can coexist. I will agree with the theory that soil conservation in Tennessee w i 1 eventually be of importance to the people of Oregon and vice versa. Soil conservation is I think a justifiable Federal project. But the by-product of electric power production is in direct competi tion with private business and un der no circumstances should it be allowed to exist. The people of Tennessee are hypnotized by the TVA. They think they are getting something for nothing. They aren’t doing anything about getting their throats cut from the standpoint of industrial development. That is unfortunate, for Tennessee has an awful lot to offer industry. If the TVA is so wonderful I wonder why Governor Clement doesn’t propose that the people of Tennessee buy it from the Federal government. It seems to me that a corporation could be formed, is sue stock, and thus be owned by the people of the state. That way there would be no drain on the taxpayers of Tennessee or any other state, and the objections of private enterprise would be quick ly overcome.” Let us turn to something of a different kind. “Editor, The Wall Street Jour nal: The letter in our issue of Dec ember 19 under the heading ‘TVA Replies’ over the signature of Paul L. Evans attracted my in terest. Being a life-long resident of Tennessee and a businessman, the advantages versus the disad vantages of the TVA project have for a long time, attracted my at tention. It is my belief that the Tenness ee Valley Authority is one enor mous millstone around the necks of the people of this state. The United States, including Tenness ee, is the land of free enterprise, not socialism, and no sane person who has given this matter five minutes of thought could be con fused whether or not the TVA is socialism. In 1940 the census of Tenness ee reflected a total population of 2,915,000. In 1960, 20 years later, the census increased to 3,632,000, a gain of only 716,000 and an av erage of 35,800 per year. During that period there must have been at least 2 million births in the state over and above the death rate, and this indicates to me that our people are leaving Tennessee for other states to find employ ment. During- the 20 years, the increase in population for the U. S. approximated 40 per cent while Says Joseph Addison, author of the Spectator Letters of long ago, a man remembered for the beauty and distinction of his lit erary style: “When I look upon the tombs of the great, every emotion of envy dies in me; when I read the epi taphs of the beautiful, every in ordinate desire goes out; when I meet with the grief of parents up on a tombstone, my heart melts with compassion; when I see the tomb of the parents themselves, I consider the vanity of grieving for those whom we must quickly fol low; when I see kings lying by those who deposed them, when I consider rival wits placed side by side, or the holy men that divided the world with their contests and disputes, I reflect with sorrow and astonishment on the little compe titions, factions, and debates of mankind. When I read the several dates of some six hundred years ago, I consider that great day when we shall all of us be contem poraries, and make our appear ance together.” Building Permit^ Mrs. Annie Turner, repairs to dwelling, 525 Main street.

One thing really nice about being in the beauty business is that you begin to believe that every gal is genuinely inter- V’"' ested in improv ing herself. Every once in a while, we all see some girl with a perfectly gor geous complex ion, or an older woman who looks absolutely wonderful, and we wonder how she does it. As a beauty expert, I don’t do so much wondering. I know the tricks. You see, beauty is a subtle art, but it’s in the reach of everyone. The real trick is to learn how to make the very best of what you have. I wish I had a dollar for every gal who tells me she can’t bear to look at herself in the morning when she hasn’t had enough sleep. “Oh, those awful dark cir cles under my eyes,” she says. Then I have to explain that dark circles are like shadows and you can get rid of shadows with highlights. All you have to do is retouch them, and that’s , pretty simple. There’s a retouch product- a product like your makeup base, but lighter in color and a little heavier in texture. Your skin absorbs a portion of it and the rest blends in with your base. Put your base on, but only up to the area where the “shadows” are. Then take your retouch. (Buy it least two shades lighter than your makeup base.) ( ^ Apply pretty yp heavily and pat it ^ into those little dark depressions. Tap it lightly with two fingers until it com pletely fills in the area you want to cover. Then blend it into where you stopped apply ing base, so there’s no ridge. For extra security, dampen a piece of tissue with cold water and pat it over the retouch to set it. Then, lightly, cover the area with makeup base and you’re ready to fin ish your makeup. For a little extra < trick to brighten your eyes, use re- touch just near the corner of your eyes and blend into the side of your nose, just at the bridge. Big surprise! Or better yet, just drop in and see me. For free, FU show how it’s done, and give you a free Hour of Beauty besides. 5AFCTY vova fAVINO* INSURED NEWBERRY FEDERAL Invites you to look at the Record Ask your neighbor why we make so many h|ome loans.
