THE “SPECTATOR S” COLUMN
My very able friends, Sen. Strom
Thurmond and Mendel Rivers,
urge that we wage war in earnest
rather than make faces at the
«nemy for a long time, as seems
to be our American habit. Our
government played at war with
JCorea and blocked General Mac-
Arthur so he would not win.
We Americans never seem to
be ready either in spirit or ma
terials. We always wfh fii the end,
after heavy losses, except, of
eourse, in Cuba. In Cuba we vir
tually made ourselves ridiculous.
And that play-at-it spirit has
characterized our handling of the
recent violent outbreaks and out
bursts all over the United States.
Whenever a nation is at war
every loyal, patriotic citizen is
duty-bound to support the nation,
right or wrong.
I know that some of my friends,
whom I may call legalists may
challenge me on ethical grounds,
but we can’t hope to flourish half
this and half that in matters of
national defense.
One may always ask questions;
and one may always lack enthu
siasm but no citizen should openly
challenge his nation in war.
As a matter of intelligent inter
est one may remember that the
Constitution provides that only
Congress may declare war; then
he may point out that the Execu
tive started ail this and that Con
gress has tamely followed; but
the Congress has provided money
for this Executive War and seems
ready to go all the way.
I think this trouble in Vietnam
was President’s Eisenhower’s idea
of Presidential accountability, the
idea being to prevent the spread
of Communism in Asia. Quite
naturally one may marvel at the
feeble, inept attitude toward Cu-
Mothers, if school days put you in a sewing daze^ be sure you
see all our fine fabrics, specially priced for back to school.

If we had provided a great
battle fleet, two hundred thousand
land fighters and several billion
dollars might we not have speed

Might we not, as in 1899 reorgan
ized Cuba, under the government
of Cubans, with a sort of Platt
Amendment to allow us to guar

I would not have you think of
me as blood-thirtsy or bellicose;
I have had quite an experience
with threats of disorder and in
discipline in South America and
I found that a firm hand, a
prompt and vigorous handling
suppressed disorders. I might even
recommend such a course in such
disorders as occurred in Los An
geles, Chicago and elsewhere. You
can’t dilly-dally with a mob; you
must take the bit in your teeth
and suppress disorder: you can
talk it over later.
“Behind the past week’s orgy
of Negro rioting in Los Angeles
and Chicago lies a sickness that
all the new civil rights legislation
is powerless to cure in the fore
seeable future—the spreading dis
integration of Negro family life
in the big cities of the North and
West.
The rioters who had brought
death to 31 people and injuries to
762 others, and who had burned
an estimated $175 million worth
of property, including entire
blocks, in Los Angeles were not
protesting any specific civil rights
grievances. They were primarily
young hoodlums lashing out ag
ainst society and authority in gen
eral—and not bothering to make
sure of their targets; there were
incidents of dark-skinned Ne
groes attacking Negroes with
lighter skins, whom they took to
be whites. They appeared to be
indulging in what one sociologist
calls ‘an explosive physical cath
arsis’ (purging of tensions.)
A growing army of such youths
is being bred in the Negro sec
tions of cities across the country
by broken homes, illegitimacy and
other social ills that have grown
steadily worse in recent decades,
warn authorities from President
Johnson on down.”

‘BIG E’ AWARD
PRESENTED TO
EXCHANGE CLUB
The “Big E” award from the
National Exchange Club came to
Newberry Tuesday night. The Ex
change Club of Newberry, one of
two South Carolina clubs, was pre
sented the award on behalf of the
National Organization by Lloyd
Smith, District Governor. Only 85
other awards were made this year
to clubs throughout the United
States and Peurto Rico, in the
first year of this program. The
award is based on club activities
which include educational pro
grams, efficiency and expansion.
Among these activities was the
presentation of the Freedom
Shrine to Newberry High school
several months ago.
In a letter from James M.
Beckett, National Exchange Club
President, he said, “In recognition
of the high standard of excellence,
in education, efficiency and ex
pansion achieved by your club, the
National Exchange Club proudly
presents this Big E banner. Dis
play it with pride as a symbol of
your club’s outstanding qualities,
and as a reminder that greater ac
complishments are ever possible
in ‘Unity for Service’.”
Smith was introduced by Pro
gram chairman Carol Hipp. He ex
pressed congratulations to the Ex
change Club for being awarded the
coveted Big E award. Following
his message Governor Smith pre-
sehted the banner to President
Gordon Leslie. Leslie presented
Governor Smith a Certificate of
Appreciation as a remembrance of
this event.
State President Kenneth Rey
nolds of Laurens, inducted James
A. (Jimmie) Kyzer as a new mem
ber of Exchange Club. Following
the induction ceremonies, Presi
dent Reynolds gave a brief ac
count of the recent National Con
vention held in Hartford, Conn.
He added his congratulations to
the Newberry Club on its award.
