ROSS GEORGE : MANION : j FORUM \ A popular magazine not long ago ran an article entitled “A New Policy Line for U. S.—To getherness with Russia.” A care ful reading of the article disclos ed, however, that what the new policy actually means is not mere ly “togetherness* but ultimate union between the two countries. The new policy was prepared by our professionals in Washington, and it calls for a gradual, step- by-step approachment to the Sov iet Union and eventually a union with it. This new policy is not likely to be announced suddenly by our State department because that would be considered as a tactical blunder. It will be done in a step- by-step approach. The new policy arose out of a study of the Institute for Defense Analysis for the U. S. Arms Con trol and Disarmament Agency. In the report is this startling state ment: “Today the United States and the Soviet Union have, for all prac tical purposes, a near monopoly of force in the world. If the use and direction of this power could somehow be synchronized, stability and indeed even unity might be within reach. Men’s attitudes clearly prevent such a present de velopment but in time, and at a cost, it is inconceivable that they may come to view their interests as lying in this direction. iWhile in the near future, an organic, planned and agreed integration of these forces is clearly unreal istic, it is not nearly so farfetched to conceive of their being used in a mutually supporting fashion to maintain the peace of the world.” What is this “peace” that we are asked to maintain? Are we at peace when unarmed American flyers are shot down over East Germany ? Are we at peace when the Commander-in-Chief of our American armies is shot within the United States by an agent of the Communist enemy ? Are we at peace when our soldiers are being killed daily in South Viet Nam fighting the Communists? Are we at peace when thousands of lives are being lost in Africa, including innocent missionaries and their families? Can you call it “peace” when the American flag is being pulled down in our own territory, as in Panama or Ghana? Is this the “peace” we are going to “main tain” under the new policy? It is said that the United States government paid the “planners” who made this report $78,000.00 for the study. But we have bought is not merely with money, but by implementing it, by put ting it into practice in the opera tion of our present foreign policy. Have the Russians been work ing on a plan that is the same conciliatory spirit in which we are plannning? Khrushchev ans wered this last January 18 when he said: “We are building Com munism in the new, the whole world. We are doing all we can to see that Communism triumphs all over the earth.” That is the objective of the Communists. That is their offer in the field of “maintaining” peace '—while we are sending wheat and other food products to bolster up the sagging economy of the Soviet Union, financed with your tax dollars, and while the Com munists continue to harrass Am ericans in every way they can think up, and to injure and kill our military personnel as well as civilians in various places on earth, give some thought to this new plan to “maintain” peace. It seems to us that what it actually says is that we can do everything in our power to comply with any demand or request of the Soviet Union and if necessary surrender to the Communists, and In so doing we can perhaps avoid war. The question is, of course, is this what the American people want?

RAY DAWKINS SENATOR ^ STRO HURMOND Reports PEOPLE U. S. and Cuban Independence ON APRIL 19, 1898, the Unit ed States knowingly precipitated a war with Spain when Congress passed a Joint Resolution which stated that “Cuba is and of right ought to bo free” and which authorized the President to use the armed forces to achieve that end. With this act, the United States voluntarily undertook the role of Cuba’s liberator and the guarantor of Cuba’s independence. THE DEPTH of the U. S. commitment to Cuban independ ence was demonstrated not only by the war with Spain, but also by many events in the years after the war. Following three and one-half years of military occupation, the U. S. proclaimed Cuban independence and trans ferred executive powers to elect ed Cuban officials. For thirty years thereafter, however, the U. S. retained the right by treaty to intervene in Cuba’s Internal affairs to insure con tinuance of Cuba’s independence. THE INFLUENCE of the U. S. on Cuba’s freedom has not been confined to military matters. The U. S. gave to Cuba a favored position for the ex port of sugar, Cuba’s chief crop, to the U. S. at premium prices. This, together with other types of financial aid from the U. S., was a major factor in Cuban political stability. IN ADDITION TO these long established commitments to Cu ban independence, the U. S. en tered into treaties with all Latin American nations which had the effect of committing the U. S. to the defense of Cuba’s independ ence. THE U. S. blindly contributed to the takeover of Cuba by Cas tro. From this point on, the tra ditional firmness of U. S. com mitment to Cuban independence wavered, and by 1962, apparent ly disappeared. Following the “crisis” in the fall of 1962, the U. S. not only failed to under take the liberation of Cuba from the yoke of Soviet satellite sta tus, but also took positive ac tion to prevent Cuban refugees from striking military blows against the communist oppres sors in Cuba. U. S. POLICY on the inde pendence of Cuba has undergone a radical change, bat U. S. in fluence on the independence of Cuba remains predominant. By undertaking, as a great world power, to make Cuban independ ence our business, the U. S. es tablished an influence on Cuba’s fate that cannot be erased by a mere change in U. S. policy. U. S. influence is still predomi nant. In years past, it was a positive influence and, thereby, Cuba was independent; today U. S. influence is negative, and Cuba is enslaved. WE CANNOT escape our in fluence on the future of Cuban independence. Because of this, the U. S. has a deep and con tinuing responsibility to Cubans. We flout this responsibility when we deny Cubans, in or out of Cuba, their moral right to at tempt to overthrow their com munist oppressors. We fail in this responsibility when we with hold moral and material support from Cubans who are attempt ing to liberate their country and countrymen. THE U. S. FAILED to meet its heavy responsibility when Castro’s takeover was support ed and made possible. It would be an equal failure of U. S. re sponsibility if U. S. influence was used to replace Castro with a man of identical or similar political attitude who merely had, or could be given, a better image in the U. S. The historic commitment of the U. S. to Cu ban independence will not be satisfied by swapping Castro for a Latin “Tito,” or as the Cubans call it, a continuation of “Fidel- issimo without Fidel.” CUBAN INDEPENDENCE cannot be obtained without the complete elimination of commu nism from power in Cuba.

The public is cordially invited. Sheriff Tom M. Fellers, a vet eran of 24 years as Sheriff of Newberry county, is offering for re-election to his seventh term in this office. Sheriff Fellers began his law enforcement work June 14, 1926, when he began serving as deputy under the late Sheriff Cannon G. Blease. Sheriff Fellers first offered for Sheriff in 1936 when the late Mr. Blease’s health failed him. Fellers was elected to the office that year, and served as sheriff ( until 1944. He was reelected again in 1948 and has served contin- J uously as sheriff since then, f Two times during the six terms, Sheriff Fellers was returned to of fice without opposition. “I am grateful to the citizens of Newberry county for re-electing me through the years,” he said today. “My platform this time is the same promise I made sixteen years ago. It has been my policy to temper justice with mercy which I believe I have tried to do during j my career as a police officer. “I am running this race on my past record, and I am very proud of it,” he continued. “I am not claiming all of the credit for my self; rather I am sharing it with my deputies. I have five good men helping me, and although we can’t completely eliminate crime in this county or any other county, my idea is to combat crime is with eternal vigilance.” During his 24 years, there is not an unsolved murder. Also, a large percentage of break-ins have been solved. Sheriff Fellers, a native New- berrian, is married to the former Miss Mattie Eva Lovelace. They have three daughters, one son and three grandchildren. Mr. Fellers is a member of the Lutheran Church of The Redeemer where he has served several times on the church council. He is a men^ber of American Legion Post 24, the 40 & 8 of the American Legion; the Newberry Lions Club; the National Sheriff’s Association; the S. C. Sheriff’s ! Association, which he has serv ed as president; and the South Carolina Peace Officers Associa tion. He is currently a member of the board of directors of the S. C. Peace Officers association. it.

Dunham, Bak ersfield, Calif.: I remr-nber so v.-rl. living at my grandfathers after my father died. Mother used to weave carpets on an old-fashioned loom made by her grandfather befon the Civil War. My brother and I would help. Mother got ti'/z cents per yard and she thought that was enough. My grandmother knit our stock ings. They were always colored brown by use of black walnut hull and alum. She would buy a fleece of wool when people sheared sheep and we would wash it and pick out the dirt and burrs and take it to the carding mill. Grandmother would spin yarn on her old fash ioned wheel. My mother could spin, too. I never learned to spin although I could twist two threads together on the wheel. My aunt still has the old spinning wheel. We always made apple butter outside in a large copper kettle over a wood fire. We had good times during those days and I well remember coal oil lamps, a wood stove and an open fireplace. * o • From Homer T.
