Many years ago it was call ed Political Economy. If we ob serve the various opinions of the day we are bound to think that Political Economy is the correct designation because there seems an endless political aspect, signif icance o’- sometimes weird imag ining that passes for profound learning, if not wisdom. One group insists that we spend according to our income; but an other group advocates spending regardless of income. Perhaps a bit of common sense might be helpful. How does a man or nation spend himself or itself rich ? Of course “there is that withholdeth more than is meet, which tendeth to poverty.” We know that a man or nation may profitably spend at times, though that depends on many fac tors. Many an industrialist pre pares for prosperity by investing heavily in machinery, whereas not to make the investment might freeze his business into nothing. As a rule there is such a thing as prosperous debt; but the reck less spending for frills and foibles tends to failure. A debt that yields a profit over the debt is quite different from the unmeas ured spending that is entirely con sumed without profit. Economics as applied to many programs of Government is the sinking of money in a bottomless pit. Some day we may have a few millions available for men with crooked hoses; or for women of high-pitched voices. Perhaps we may have a fund to teach all men to sing. Who knows ? gress from the Columbia district are such exceptionably fine gen tlemen that the citizens of that Congressional district will be sure of able representation. Under the present laws and programs we are almost like pris oners, as may be seen in the ac tivity of some national officials. By the way, how or where does the National Government find authority over restaurants doing a local business? It seems a bit strange in this bright day to cite the Constitution; someone may ask “what or which Constitution?” The Constitution seems so inap plicable to our problems of today, but with all the wisdom floating around in Washington we need not call on Jefferson, Madison, Calhoun or other worthies of the long ago, for we have supernal statesmanship at hand among leaders whose fathers still thrive on the Ideas of Europe. I'm unable to undestand why religious bodies debate great ec onomic and political proposals in stead of magnifying the ministry of salvation through the grace of God. The prime function of a Minis ter is to try to save souls from predition by leading men to the Master whose ministry disregard ed politics and political phases of national questions. You recall that the Apostle Paul said we are justified by faith and by faith we have peace with God. I’m aware that the Apostle James, that level-headed leader— said that faith without works is dead. Even so, all the leaders de- ing him right every day. Purple foxglove, growing in your garden, is a helpful stimu lant for dropsy patients.

Derrick Mrs. Mattie Shealy Derrick, 89, widow of the late Joseph B. Der rick, died Tuesday morning at the Spence Nursing Home in Colum bia after a lengthy illness. Mrs. Derrick was born and rear ed in this county near Little Mountain and was the daughter of the late Thomas L. and Cum mings Addy Shealy. She was a member of Holy Trinity Lutheran church. For a V r number of years she was an p ator at the Little Mountain Telephone com pany. Mrs. Derrick is survived by five sons, E. L. Derrick of Columbia; W. H. Derrick of Greenville, T. V. Derrick of Walhalla, Jodie K. Der rick, M. A. Derrick, of Columbia; one brother, Joseph Snealy of Cross Hill; one sister, Mrs. Tal- thia Shealy of Little Mountain.

The two candidates for Con- Our Mendel Rivers has been citing the Constitution as to the powers of Congress. Although the Prseident may be commander-in chief of the army, navy, Marine Corps, and Air Service that must be interpreted along with the functions prescribed for the Con gress. Clearly the Command of the armed forces confers cn the President and authority analagous to the Colonel’s' command of a regiment: he is the titular head, such as we might conceive a British King or a Field Marshall in command of an embattled leg ion. It does not presuppose or con fer the powers conferred on the Congress. For example, the Con gress may declare war, but in re cent years the President has as- SENATOR STRO HURMOND Reports PEOPLE Recapturing the Purse Strings THE LEGISLATURE is the heart of representative govern ment. In the United States the legislative function is vested in the Congress. Congress is the closest of the three branches of the National Government to the people, and the most responsive to the will of the people. The Constitution vests the major policy-making function of the government in the Congress, giv. ing it a substantial preeminence of authority over the Executive and Judicial branches. TO INSURE that Congress, 'and thereby, the people, retain control over the policy of gov ernment, the Constitution pro vides certain checks by which Congress could maintain such control against attempted usur pations. By far the most potent power vested in Congress to de termine and enforce its policies is the power of the purse. The Constitution provides that “No money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in consequence of Appropriations made by law." It was contemplated that Con gress would approve funds for those activities of government of which it approved, and refuse to appropriate funds for those activities of which it disap proved. IN THE YEARS since World War II, Congress has increas ingly forfeited its policy-mak ing function to bureaucracy by its unwillingness to adopt prac tical means by which it could exercise the power of the purse strings. THE SCOPE AND SIZE of the government have grown as tronomically in the last two dec ades, and the complexity of ac counting for governmental activ ities conducted by 2,300 agen cies, departments, offices, and bureaus has increased propor tionately. DESPITE the multiplication in size and scope of the bureauc racy, Congress is still attempt ing to struggle along with the appropriations procedures which have not been adequate since the turn of the century. TWO MAJOR areas of inade quacy arc readily apparent. EACH YEAR Congress is con fronted with more than a dozen appropriations bills, numerous authorization bills, and even a number of bills which authorize the expenditure of non-appro priated funds. There is no real istic effort to place all of these parts in perspective so that the totality can be assessed, and against which each part can be weighed for relative merit In short, the appropriations pro cedure has remained so com partmentalized that Congress cannot see the forest for the trees. MANY OF THE appropria tions have become so enormous, cover such technical activities and involve such complex ac counting techniques that they defy analysis by existing Con gressional mechanics. The de fense appropriations provides the biggest and most illustrative example. Currently, it involves about $50 billion annually, which finances an almost infinite num ber of activities. The hearings on defense appropriations are voluminous, but hardly scratch the surface of the activities funded. Research and develop ment alone involve about $6 bil lion, and most of the individual programs are justified with little more than a few sentences. As a consequence, Congress is un able to do more than adjust the total by a small percentage. There is insufficient information to evaluate each program and activity on its individual merit. IN ADDITION to all of these inadequacies, the budgets pre sented are in a form that does not lend itself to review and comparison. AS A CONSEQUENCE of these deficiencies. Congress is bound to the appropriations re quests submitted by the bureauc racy and is unable to do more than make minor adjustments in the totals requested. OBVIOUSLY, it is time for Congressional reform of appro priations procedures* and me chanics. Congress must avail it self of modern techniques and devices to cope with this prob lem, including computers, data processing equipment, special ists, and analysts. UNDER PRESENT proced ures, Congress has neither the time nor the capability to recap ture the power of the purse. Until Congress makes the nec essary reforms in its own ap propriations procedures and me chanics, the bureaucracy will continue to erode away the Con gressional policy-making func tion. Sincerely. It seems to me that I recall a prayer I used to hear: “Further us by thy continual help that all our work begun, continued and ended in thee may glorify thy holy name.” The con templation of tht Minister might well be concerned primarily with individual salvation through the grace of God, who, by the way, makes us answerable to Him as individuals and disregards for the moment the viscosity of oil or the nutrition in eggs. My bretheren of the cloth—for whom I have great respect—may premit an unlearned layman to cite the Scriptures against their political activity which they con fuse with a brand of Sociology with Divine blessing. Let us recall an iniident for those who want to fo to Heaven just to rejoin their departed ones. You recall that someone asked Jesus whose wife would be a wife in heaven in the case of the wo man who had had seven husbands on earth. Did those people imag ine a redeemed woman walking the golden streets with seven hus bands ? Not even a movie queen will have seven husbands in Hea ven. How many, then, shall she have ? Jesus is our authority on the Celestial world. Said he: “You do err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.” Now we find that clearly set forth in Mathew 22: 28; 28, and 30. As to our Ministers in the Southern Baptist Convention, they might well have dedicated them selves exclusively to the matters of Supreme Spiritual concern in stead of politicating in a purely (purely?) earthly matter which has not the seal or sanction of Heaven, so far as I have heard. Touching on the resolution of my Baptist brethren, let us read the Scripture and listen to Jesus. Now, then, what’s what? You recall that Rome and the Caesars ruled the world; they were not believers in our God; they were wicked men and all their program was a repudiation of the virtue of the believers in Jehovah. Someone, recognizing for poli tical purposes the wickedness of Caesar, asked if it was lawful to pay tribute to Caesar. Yea, verily; that tribute supported the wick edness of Rome. Did Jesus enter into a discussion of the life of Caesar? You remember that He looked at a coin, and that being a Roman coin, said, “Render unto Caesar the things that are Cae sar's and unto God the things that are God’s”. So, very respect fully I fervently suggest that these are spiritlal concerns more urgent and impressive than the political matter of a vote in our turgid political life. We may spend millions of years in Eternity, whereas the political questions of the day are of fleet ing interest and concern. Let the politicians rave over things of the moment, but let the Ambassadors of the Most High maintain their supreme function of bringing individual souls with in the realm of the Redeemed. Surely Apostle Paul set forth the real mission of the clergy: “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things that are behind, and reaching forth unto those things that are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” FOR better cleaning, to keep col ors gleaming, use Blue Lustrt car pet cleaner.

Beruon PRESIDENT—NATIONAL EDUCATION TROGRAM Searcy, Arkanja* THE REDS AGAINST THE FBI Through his 40-year career, at tacks on FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover have kept pace with the general efforts of the Left to protect its extremist elements by dismantling every possible inter nal defense of the country against Communism. In these prolonged attacks from the radical Left, its publications and pseudo-liberal spokesmen have mouthed and re peated unfounded charges that amount to exactly nothing. Mar tin Luther King undertook critic ism that fell into the same cate gory along with the Newsweek statement that Hoover would be fired. Most Americans do not require answers to these false charges, for they take great pride in the accomplishments, the effectiveness and the patriotism of Mr. Hoover and his agents. The critics, how ever, seem to care nothing for the FBI director’s accomplish ments nor for the principles of justice, law and order, and good law enforcement. What they ob viously fear most, despite the shelter they take behind a civil rights halo or other pretense, is the success of the FBI as an anti- Communist force in America. Now They’re On Campus Currently, the Reds appear to be making their best headway on college campuses. In a recent in terview, Mr. Hoover told U. S. News & World Report that the FBI had “absolutely no interest” in legitimate activities of stud ents, but that it would have a responsibility to investigate where any activities involve violations of federal law. But Mr. Hoover went on to say: “I have long been concerned over the efforts of the Communist par ty, as well as other subversive or ganizations, to spread its influ ence in student circles. Members of the Communist Party of Ameri ca frequently have appeared as speakers on college compuses. They have attempted to portray the party as a legitimate political organization, when, as a matter of face, it is an inseperable arm of the international Communism movement, which is under the control of the Soviet Union. Trouble Source: Left “I have taken the position that it is unfortunate that some col leges in this country have pro vided avowed Communist—some of whom have been convicted and have served time in the peniten tiary—a platform from which to qspouse their godless ideology of chicanery, deceit, and treachery.” Such a position is plain enough, and it is just this position that infuriates the liberals who clam or about it under the guise of “freedom of speech.” Governor Brown of California has decried the anarchy of Berkeley, but he will have to look more carefully to ward the Left, where he will find his trouble. Having failed to abolish the FBI or remove Mr. Hoover, the Leftwingers are now going all out on the excuse of the recently en acted civil rights laws in plug ging to revamp the FBI into a colossal national police force that would take over all law enforce ment from local officials. This new line of attack no longer in dicts the FBI as too powerful or dangerous to democracy. It in sists that it is not doing its job and is not powerful enough. TTie inference is that Mr. Hoover should be replaced with a “lib eral” director, who would head up a tremendous gestapo strong en ough to protect presidents from assassination and enforce civil rights. Opposes National Police Mr. Hoovers’ critics know that he has consistently opposed estab lishing a national police force. This position is purposely misin terpreted by some. The FBI is only an investigative agency, and that only where some 257 federal statutes are involved. Mr. Hoover has said: “The danger of a nat ional police force is that it cen tralizes into one place and into the hands of one man too much, authority.” The FBI director has also said repeatedly that he will not tolerate political pressure nor will the FBI yield to pressure groups which seek to use the Bu reau for their own selfish aims. The Communists have always wanted a national police force, whenever they can control it. Ev ery Red society maintains a strong secret police setup, for they know it is required in order to subjugate the people. A dis ciplined police corps has always kept the regime in power in Rus sia. Without such a force Castro would soon be toppled. Law and order are essential for successful governments, as Mr. Hoover has so often insisted. Such anarchy as that produced on the campus of the'University of California by Communist manipulators behind the scenes can destroy a peaceful community or even a democratic nation.
