PAGE TWO THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, JUNE 17, 1965 SENATOR STRO HURMOND Reports PEOPLE By Mary Whitman Want to get good marks for eehool projects? “I think I should get an A,” one young mother mentioned re cently. Her project: helping a son with a 6th grade project in Indian lore. Storybooks, crayons and house hold items all went into the ef fort. In a pinch, she says, you can make almost anything with crayons and paper bags or plain brown craft paper. A headdress of “feathers” can be cut out and colored. Wigwams can be made with paper and sticks. A round container of arry size can be turned into a tribal drum, proper ly decorated. Some schools assign a great many projects. Others may ask special work from a child only once a year. But at some point any school-goer may be asked to make a scale model of a scene, or build a special exhibit, or re search a period of history and Illustrate it in some way. A number of play materials are handy in these situations. “Children’s inexpensive non- •fiction books offer pictures that serve as a useful reference for school project s,” reminds Dorothy Haas, an editor with. Whitman Publishing Company of Racine, Wisconsin. There are books about rockets, about stars, about airports, about pioneers, about trees, about prehistoric monsters, and more. A trip to the counter of the nearest variety store can be a short-cut for a parent who must help provide ideas and low-cost materials. A parent soon learns to ac cumulate many objects from shoeboxes to popsicle sticks that may be called for. “First I get a book,” agrees a project-wise father. “My son reads it with me. We cover the dining table with oilcloth. I set out what he needs, and he goes ito work. The hardest part is not joining in, but just being an adviser.” Some people get so fascinated by a chance to set up the landing of Columbus or show the life of the Pilgrims that the whole | family may help. Many parents even miss their “homework” af- Iter the children graduate. world news The Radical Left THE MAN primarily charged with keeping tabs on enemy plans to subvert our Nation has been in large part ignored in his admonitions on internal security. For the past several years, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover has warned in books, articles, speeches, and testimony about three primary projects of the communists in the United States: (1) twisting of minds of campus youngsters with communist dog ma; (2) exploitation and infil tration of civil rights move ments; and (3) the silencing of anti-communist voices. In recent months, the fruits of communist seed planted across America have been blossoming forth on campuses, in the streets, and in left-wing periodicals. IN RECENTLY released tes timony given before the House Appropriations Committee, Mr. Hoover officially revealed the communist orientation of the student demonstrations at the University of California. He stated that 43 individuals with communist back-rounds, five of them being professors and all being connected with the Univer sity, played active roles in the explosive developments. MR. HOOVER laid bare com munist actions for pumping propaganda at college campuses, recruiting new members, and es tablishing front group opera tions. He particularly deplored the increasing number of lec tures being presented on cam puses by leading Communist Party officials. Given special at tention by Mr. Hoover was the lew communist-organized W E. B. DuBois Clubs of America. He laid this organization “is de signed to attract youth interest ed in peace, disarmament, civil rights, and the like.” THE PROGRESS of the com munist efforts to exploit and infiltrate civil rights groups has been astounding. This has even been publicly acknowledged by concerned “liberal” columnists I placed in the Congressional Record of May 20 a newsletter of the American Flag Committee setting forth in 1956 the Com munist Party’s detailed plan for causing a voting rights crisis in early 1965, a civil rights fight over public accommodations in 1964, and the employment of demonstrations and civil diso bedience to stampede Congress into enacting Red proposals for subverting the powers of State and local governments The newsletter forecast the tactics and timing almost perfectly IN TESTIFYING on present operations of the communists in the area of civil rights, Mr. Hoover told the committee of a recruitment drive now underway among Negro youth. He added: ‘The party plans to hold a train ing school for youth in New York City in the summer of 1965 . . . In addition, certain Com munist Party, U.SA., youths will be asked to go to the South during the summer of 1965 to work with civil rights organi zations.” ONE OF THE reasons why the public ardor for civil dis obedience has cooled in recent weeks—and at the White House, too—is because many of the same beatnik demonstrators in volved in the Selma provoca tions have been found working together in pacifist demonstra tions against U. S. policies re sisting communist aggression. ANTI-COMMUNIST individu als and groups are on the de fensive in the U. S. today as never before. They are being harassed, smeared, and investi gated by government agencies and left-wing news media. In deed, the false idea has been planted across the country that the real enemy of America is the anti-communist rather than the communist. HERE IS Mr. Hoover’s frank evaluation of communist plans for further progress in America: “Encouraged by recent court de cisions which the party consid ers major victories in its efforts to nullify the Internal Security Act of 1950, and convinced that a large segment of the popula tion is ready to accept some form of socialism as a cure for domestic problems, such as civil rights and poverty, the party has streamlined its structure in preparation for operating more openly.” THE NUMBER one enemy of the American way of life is the Radical Left with its revolution ary aim of leveling all Ameri cans to a common plane under an all-powerful centralized bu reaucracy The Congress is past due in thoroughly investigating the Radical Left for purposes of considering new internal securi ty legislation Communist and front groups have been able to get too far in recent years be cause internal security laws have been rendered impotent by Supreme Court decisions.

THE “SPECTATOR S” COLUMN Says the daily paper: “India sides with Soviets against the United States.” Well, of course; the most ungrateful persoil is sometimes the person you have helped. We have poured hundreds of millions of dollars into India, so, quite naturally, she fancies us a lot of softies. I think so too. Why don’t we let the other nations manage for themselves? What nation in the world has received most from us? France, of course. What is the attitude of France? Quite unappreciative, or ungrateful, even a bit unfriendly. Why do we maintain naval bases in England and France? To pro tect France. Why did we spend and lend and give hundreds of millions to France ? To save France from the Germans. And today we still have armies, ships, planes protecting France! Why many thousands of Amer icans in France and West Germ any, England and Scotland? To protect France. Why not let the French dance to their own music? Likewise we should bring home all our men from Germany and Great Britian. Who are our friends? Have we friends? If we would attend to our business and let others attend to their affairs the whole world would be better I think. I am not an advocate of Gov ernment (State or Federal) oper ating business affairs. The State and Nation should get out of the power business and other business except the business of orderly ad ministration of public affairs. ’But a condition has arisen that is ser ious: I am thinking of automobile liability insurance. Our rates are high and now threaten to become well-nigh prohibitive. I do not know how we can car ry on with one half the State with out liability insurance and the other half virtually groaning un der' prohibitive liability rates. Many men think the solution would be to have the Highway depart ment sellability insuranct when it sells a driver’s license. I should dislike to see the insurance busi ness handled by the State, but what is the remedy for the impo sition of more or less confiscatory or prohibitive rates? Think it over. Shall we call on the government, all of us? It appears that some claims on us, like liability, increase and interest and some must pay while the government is adopting plans that will further burden the Government and may increase the burden on those who pay taxes. Now let us see: hundreds of thousands of people will receive government hand-outs; and bil lions of dollars will be given to foreign countries; and those who pay must pay more. Wouldn’t you like to wake up and find that all this free-handed giving is only a dream; and that the Government is still safe and sound as in the time of Calvin Coolidge ? We are trying to spend our selves rich and the experience of all times proves that it can’t be done. Who would have thought it? “Wall Street recently has been treated to a sizzling hot new issue reminiscent of last summer’s take off of Communications Satelite Corp.—though with very little of the fanfare surrounding Comsat’s stock launching. Moreover, the current object of the market’s af fection, McDonald’s Corp. repre sents no dramatic technological breakthrough; it operates a chain of drive-in restaurants, specializ ing in 15 cent hamburgers. Three weeks ago, 300,000 shares of Mc Donald’s common stock were of fered to the public by several ma jor stockholders, at 22 1-2; the stock immediately jumped to a six-point premium ended the day with an eight-point gain. It has continued to climb since then, a..d last week w r as quoted as high as 46 1-2 bid and 47 asked. Based in 1964 net of $1.34 on each of the 1.5 million shares out standing, the stock currently is selling at a lofty 34 times earn ings. Whether or not that multiple proves too rich in the months a- head remains to be seen. However, unlike high-flying Comsat, which expects no significant operating revenues until late in 1967, Mc Donald’s boasts an impressive rec ord of sales and earnings. Between 1960 and 1964, revenues rose nine fold; from $2.9 million, to $25.9 million; profits more than kept pace, soaring from $77,330 to $2 million and virtually doubling dur ing the first quarter sales and an even sharper gain in earnings; to 24 cents a share, from six cents. McDonald’s already is one of the nation’s largest drive-in chains wnth 677 units, 89 operated by the company and the rest by licensees. Another 120 will be opened this year. Despite the $81,500 initial investment required, McDonald’s franchises are snapped up eagerly. The company now has a waiting list of over 60 applicants who have passed its rigid screening tests, including graduation from its Elk Grove, 111., training school, known appropriately at Hamburger Uni versity.” There is vast wealth under the seas, and more and more money is being spent to utili it. “While much of today’s activi ty is directed toward mastering the underwater environment so as to deter an enemy’s weapon’s, and protect one’s own, the sea around us also is begining to get serious attention for reasons concerned with improving the everyday hu man condition. Thus, the ocean teems with protein that could help feed starving masses in the un derdeveloped countries. Specifi cally, it contains deposits of sev eral minerals which are increas ingly hard to find on land. With the world’s supply of fresh water nnder mounting . pressure from expai ding population, the sea offers the most feasible source of replinishment—and on a lim itless scale, once the economics can be worked out. Oceanographic firms are being asked to undertake surveys of all kinds for government and indus try. This spring, Texas Instru ments received from the U. S. Naval Oceanographic Office a $5.6 million four-year contract for a geophysical survey covering broad areas of the Atlantic, the Norwegian and Mediterranean seas. Outlays over the decade would come to $2.3 billion, of which $1.3 billion (56 per cent) would be allo cated to basic science. Some $750 million (32 per cent) would go to support applied oceanography and the rest for routine surveys. The Navy also has its own 10-year program, involving expenditures of over $1 billion. As more money gradually be comes available, most of it will continue to be spent by the Navy, in the quest for more effective methods of anti-submarine war fare. Nothing more dramatically highlighted the present gain in such knowledge than the tragic and unexplained loss of the Thresher, and the hard job of locating her and salvaging the wreckage. The chemical and drug indus tries, too, are believed to have a big future stake in the ocean. Common salt has been produced from prehistoric times by evapor ating of sea water; magnesium and magnesium compounds, sod ium and potassium compounds and bromine are also now derived from the sea in commercial quan tities. Experts at Dow' Chemical, the principal producer of magne sium from sea water, dream of a $100 million facility which could produce 93 million tons of various elements, metals and compounds, with a value of $1.3 billion each year. One exotic by-product of cur rent research could be the salvage of sunken ships. Techniques de veloped in the search for the Thresher and the families of sub- mersibles now emerging should expedite this process. It is esti mated that a million ships have gone to the bottom since the be ginning of history, carrying with them one eighth of all the world’s created wealth, from gold bars and piece sof eight to cargoes of iron ore and other strategic materials torpedoed during World War II. One diving-bell expedition has re covered $7 million in gold bullion sunk off Australia during the last war. The experts generally think the next five years will be devoted to continued study of the ocean en vironment; five years after that to applying the results of this research; then half a century or more to exploiting the sea’s seem ingly limitless resources.
