THE “SPECTATOR S” COLUMN
The Congress of the United States operates within a
clearly defined scope as indicated in the Constitution and
observed more respectfully heretofore. The idea that because
Congress legislates the laws of a State are abrogated is not
sound constitutional law, although the Federal Courts seem
to assume the validity of most congressional legislation.
In our day, by some impressively bad practice, the Execu
tive departments seem to have vast sums of money which
are expendable at the discretion or w T him of various Gov
ernment agencies. The entire national operation should un
dergo a strict investigation and the money available for
executive discretion should be clearly set forth and opera
tions defined for strict observance. The range of discretion
ary spending should be curtailed.
‘Personal income increased to a record rate again in June,
but the advance was slightly smaller than that of May, the
Commerce Department said.
A broad measure of national prosperity, personal income
rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $523.9 billion in
some of the Federally subsidized rural electric cooperatives I
in the area, and it is. For the co-ops hope that the Federal j
Government will build a power plant there some day from
which they could get preferential treatment.
You might also expect the Interior Department to inter
vene in the case, inasmuch as establishment of a game ref
uge and recreational areas is involved, and it has intervened.
Not content to concern itself with conservation aspects of
the power company’s proposal, it is going further. Indeed,
it is trying to tell the company how to run its business.
In asking the Federal Power Commission to allow r his
agency to join in the FPC’s hearings on the Duke proposal,
Interior Secretary Stewart Udall says flatly that the power
company ‘has no need for the . . . power that could be pro
duced by the project.’ Backing up a little, he adds that any
needs the company may have can be met by the Federal
government’s own pow r er projects in the area. In short, Mr.
Udall not only is telling the company that it should not build
its own power plant, but also is telling it that if it wants
more electric power to get it from the Federal government.
No company is going to assume the risk of investing $700
million in new facilities without some solid assurance that
its product is going to be bought. So it seems more than a
little presumptuous of the Interior Department to imply
that the power company’s plans for the future are all
wrong. Moreover, it surely should noi; be the prerogative of
the department to tell any company from it shall buy.
Perhaps the Federal, state and local governments can get
along without the $42 billion in taxes the power project
w r ould generate every year. However that may be, one
thing is sure: The nation’s economy can get along very
well without a Governmental attitude that is, in effect ‘Pri
vate business be dammed’.”
Well our nation will never rise to its highest economic
level by political manipulating; we need always the know-
how T and resourcefulness of private investment.
May. The June increase of $3.9 billion compares with the
‘abnormally high’ gain of $4.2 billion in May, a department
economist said.
A sharp increase in corporate dividend payments and con
tinued gains in both farm income and wages and salaries
were primarily responsible for the June advance.
Let’s suppose some company, anticipating an increased
demand for its product over the next few yeras, has an
nounced plans to build a big new plant at such-and-such a
place. And let’s suppose a Federal agency, apprised of those
plans, declared that it foresaw no increased demand and
that it would take steps to see that the new plant w r as not"
built. If that happened, you’d probably say it was an ex
traordinary arrogant way for any Government agency to
behave. Something more extraordinary, however, is hap
pening in the case of the plans of Duke Power Company, of
Charlotte, N. C., to build a $700 million power generating
complex in northwest South Carolina.
Now you might expect the Duke project to be opposed by

Invitation to Espionage
ON JUNE 1, 1964, the United
States and the Soviet Union
signed a Consular Treaty. On
June 12, 1964, the treaty was
submitted to the Senate with a
request for its advice and con
sent. The treaty was referred
to the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee. There it reposed, the
subject of no one’s particular
interest, for more than a year.
IN MARCH 1965, the treaty
was the subject of testimony to
Congress by J. Edgar Hoover,
Director of the FBI. Mr. Hoover
"Long seeking greater official
representation in the United
States which wotild be more
widely spread over the country,
a cherished goal of the Soviet
intelligence services was realized
when the United States signed
an agreement with the Soviet
Union on June 1, 1964, provid
ing for the reciprocal establish
ment of consulates in our re
spective countries.
M One Soviet intelligence of
ficer in commenting on .the agree
ment spoke of the wonderful op
portunity this presented his
[ service and that it would enable
the Soviets to enhance their in-
telligrence operations."
ON JULY 14, 1965, Mr. Hoov
er commented further in a public
statement.:
"The great majority of the
800 Communist bloc official per
sonnel stationed in the United
States, protected by the privi
lege of diplomatic immunity-
have engaged in intelligence as-
sigrnments and are a dangerous
threat to the security of the
United States."
SINCE JULY 1, 1964, 6 Sov
iet diplomats have been expelled
from the United States for es
pionage activities.
MR. HOOVER pointed out
that “in regard to the Commu
nist bloc espionage attack against
this country, there has been no
letup whatsoever.**
THE FBI DIRECTOR illus
trated the increase in use of
Soviet diplomatic personnel for
espionage activities by pointing
out that between July, 1960, and
February, 1966, the Soviet of
ficial personnel assigned to the
United Nations Secretariat
leaped from 82 to 108. Half of
these, according to Mr. Hoover,
"were agents or officers of the
Soviet intelligence services.**
PRESENTLY, Soviet diplo
matic personnel are stationed
only in Washington, with their
embassy, and in New York, with
the United Nations. The Con
sular Treaty would open the
door for them to be located in
major cities across the nation.
Our open society, in contrast to
the totalitarian Soviet State, of- ,
fers a ripe field for enemy in
telligence activity.
IN VIEW OF the very real
peril to the security of the Unit
ed States outlined by Mr. Hoov
er, the official charged with pro
tecting our nation against enemy J
espionage, it is not surprUfrig
that the treaty was left in the
committee pigeonhole.
WITHOUT FANFARE, inter
est suddenly revived in the Con
sular Treaty in the waning days
of July. Subsequently, on Au
gust 3, 1965, the Foreign Rela
tions Committee, after brief
hearings, reported the treaty to
the Senate.
THE RESURRECTION of the
Consular Treaty coincides with
an apparently renewed effort ^to -
re-invigorate “peaceful coexist
ence" with the Soviet Union. It.,
also coincides with the recon
vening of the 18-Nation Disarm
ament Conference in Geneva.
THE REVIVAL of the Con
sular Treaty evidences the eon- '
tinnation of the most fallacious
aspect of U. S. foreign policy.
This is the unsupported con
clusion that the Soviets are
abandoning their quest for
world domination and can be
dealt with as a friendly nation.
AT THE very time when U. S.
aircraft are being shot down
in Viet-Nam by Soviet missiles,
the Administration, by reaving
the Consular Treaty, is in effect
issuing to the Soviets an en
graved invitation to multiply
their espionage activities in the
heart of our homeland.
THIS TREATY should be re
jected by the Senate, and this is
possible since its approval re
quires a 2/3 vote. However, with
the staunch support it' is re
ceiving from the Whfc House
in the name of “peaMrol coex
istence** and “disarmament,"
prospects for rejecting it are
not too bright without a strong
show of adverse public opinion.
Sincerelj,
The Challenge of Color is a book dealing with mixed races
throughout the world.
“The Challenge of Color is not a ‘hate book’. It is a book
which is designed to point up the world-need for preserv
ing the white race for the benefit of all of the races of men.
The purpose of the book, is to show the background of the
color problem in world history, the way in which it has af
fected and is now affecting the white race.
With a keen sense of undestanding of the moving force
which make History, the author, Alfred Drew, points out
that the basic cause of the decline and fall of the great
'Egyptian civilization was the peaceful invasion of color, as
a result of an unwise immigration policy; and, that Egypt
has remained in stagnation for three thousand years, thus
vividly illustrating the principle that once the fundamental
strain which creates a great civilization is destroyed, it
cannot be revived.
Alfred Drews documented analysis of the death of Aryan
civilization in India, by racial amalgamation; the harmful
effects of race-mixing in Brazil; the example of Haiti; Com
munism and race; the rising tide of non-white immigration;
the myth of the melting pot; the deep-seated political in
fluence of color as a menace to the United States and the
dire need is for the strongest nation to guard its racial integ
rity—makes this a very thought-provoking book; one which
should be read and considered by every Caucasian.

The Pickens Sentinel says editorially:
“The growth of centralized government in the U. S. is j
frightening. Compulsion is applied to the most personal af-)
fairs of life such as the right to not pay for a job, the right
to not pay for state medicine, and the right to freedom of
choice.
A bill has been introduced in Congress to exempt mem-
|.bers of certain religious organizations from being compelled
to join a union to hold a job, because it is contrary to their
basic religious convictions and teachings of their churches.
Are their convictions any more sacred than those of individ
uals who were taught to uphold freedom in the U. S. and
what it stands for as compared with special privileges for
special classes? It is ridiculous for one law to say that if I
belong to a certain church, I have a right to not join some
organization which another law says I would have to join
to hold a job.
Last year, Congress passed a law outlawing discrimination
on the basis of color, race, religion, creed, etc. Now it is
being 1 asked to legalize discrimination in employment because
of lafck of membership in a private organization— a labor
union. This is as unthinkable as asking Congress to legalize
nonemployment of a man because he chooses to belong to a
labor union, or because he doesn’t belong to the National As
sociation of Manufacturers and pay dues. Either way, it is
unjustified limitation of action and thought.
It is most depressing to see the time of the U. S. Congress
taken up with proposals to deny states their right to pass
right-to-work laws, thus taking one more step down the road
to federalization of local affairs. Another generation or so
along this road we are traveling and state and local gov
ernment will be emasculated.”

Lighting better at
Pomaria, Chapin
The street lighting systems of
Pomaria and Chapin are being re
vised to furnish over 35 percent
more illumination for each town,
it has been announced by Allen C.
Mustard, vice president and gen
eral commercial manager- of the
S. C. Electric and Gas Co.
SCEGCO crews are in the pro
cess of replacing 2,500 incandes-
icent lumens lamps with 7,000 lu
mens mercury lamps, Mustard
said. He noted that the street
lights are being replaced under a
systematic schedule over much of
the SCEGCO service area.
Mustard pointed out that the
improved lighting system - would
enhance progress in traffic safety
and crime prevention.
Although better lighting would
help the motorist, Mustard added,
the pedestrian stands to gain most
since statistics show a decided de
crease in traffic accidents involv
ing pedestrians where lighting fac
ilities are good.
Statistics also show a marked
decrease of crime activity in well-
lighted areas, he said.
The development of improved
street lighting facilities is due to
the foresight and planning by the
town’s Mayors and city councils,
who have recognized future street
lighting requirements, Mustard
1 said.
NOT TO GOD:
NOT TO CAESAR
(From The Allendale Citizen)
What does talk like this have to
do with any man’s right to vote,
or do what else he pleases in the
United States? We quote from
a speaker at Simpson Hill Meth
odist church, during the late un
pleasantness at Allendale.
“You have been the white man’s
slave for 350 years. You have
washed his clothes, tilled his land,
tended his children and cooked
the white man’s breakfast while
his lazy wife lay in bed. All this
will change. The white man will
tend your children, the white wo
man will cook your breakfast and
you will be free for the first time
in 350 years.”
Substitute “Jew” for “white
man” and there is Hitlerism all
over again. If the Negro cause
is a just one it should soon purge
itself of the internperates who
shout wildly, as the Simpson Hill
speaker did, or sending “the white
man to Africa.”
The Negro has certainly washed
the white man’s clothes, tended his
children and tilled his land and
cooked his breakfast. But, only be
cause, in an impoverished South,
the white man was trying to share
with a neighbor the little he had.
The Negro also ate the white
man’s food, wore his clothes and
shared in the products of the land.
It wasn’t the highest of living,
but it was the best the area could
provide and it was done at real
sacrifice on the part of the white
man, who had hardly enough to
keep his own family from hunger
and want.
The Negro lived off the initia
tive of and the unwillingness of
the white man to give up, to sink
under the weight of circumstance
or call on the nation to aid him in
his plight. He kept the Negro
afloat with him, and they surviv
ed together, if not as brothers,
then as human beings with con
cern for each other.
The preaching of hate and the
urging of violence within the walls
of a Christian edifice raised to the
glory of God, is a disgrace if not
blasphemy. It comes as very clear
that the current movement has
little in it to recommend it to
Christians. It is not designed to
advance, but to create woe. It is
not designed to build, but to tear
down. It in nowise touches on
Christian priciple, and renders
nothing to God nor to Caesar.
