AROUND THE WORLD IN
THIRTY DAYS
Is wanderlust contagious? Or
is it coincidence that an epi
demic of globe trotting has
broken out during the last four
weeks? Important people have
been flying to important places
so often and so swiftly that
nobody isquite up to date on
who went where.
President Johnson’s “peace
envoys” have been skittering
about the earth since Christ
mas time, in an effort to get
the enemy to negotiate in Viet
Nam. The feelers failed, pos
sibly because there is nothing
to negotiate. Our purpose and
the Communist purpose are
mutually exclusive. The Reds
want us to get out and let the
Viet Cong pursue its aims;
our goal is that South Viet
Nam be free of Red infiltration,
terror and aggression. Only
one of these two goals may be
attained; there is no “half
way point” between freedom
and slavery.
Nevertheless, Messrs Harri-
man, Goldberg, Bundy and Wil
liams
person sent their voices instead.
American peaceniks mailed
taped radio programs to the
Communists in North Viet Nam
to be beamed into the ears of
our forces in the South. The
programs are designed to con
vince our soldiers to stop
fighting the Communists. In
another day, this sort of thing
would have been called treason
—but in 1966 nobody raised an
eyebrow.
While this was going on,
Communists from all over the
world flew to Havana for a
conference, at which the Soviet
delegate announced that Rus
sia was backing “National
Liberation Movements” in Ven
ezuela, Guatemala, Peru, the
Dominican Republic, and Puer
to Rico. Peking’s representative
called for a “people’s war on
a greater scale” in order to
assure the “final defeat of Yan
kee imperialism.” He warned
that the United States “will
not fall unless it is felled.”
And the Soviets confirmed to
the assembly the fact that they
are giving planes and ammuni
tion to North Viet Nam.
Meanwhile, Soviet Aleksandr
Shelepin arrived in Hanoi with
a group of experts on arma
ments and missiles. He told a
rally that “there is no force
in the world capable of making
the Vietnamese people give up
their revolution.” and said that
the “cohesion of the ranks of
the world Communist move
ment is more necessary than
ever before in the face of Am
erican aggression.”

SPECTATOR
What think you of all the
hullabaloo of so-called re-ap
portionment? Expressing my
thought at random I can’t see
why the Federal government
has an., legal authority to in
tervene in this matter; nor do
I see t)he Constitutional warrant
for the Federal Court to dic
tate to a State.
Anyone who has studied the
history of our nation from 1776
to 1940 will understand that
the Sovereignty of the States
is not a proper concern of the
Federal Government which is
itself the creature of the States.
Constitutionally the Federal
Government should see to it
that the States have a Repub
lican form of government. And
that is all.
Today a mob of meddlers
forced its way into a small
movie theatre and the mob was
aided and abetted by two men
said to be F.B.I. men and act
ing officially. That should make
John C. Calhoun and all the
Virginia and Massachusetts
members of the Constitutional
Convention rise up from the
dead in solemn protest and re
buke.
Why respect a Constitution?
We South Carolinians don’t res
pect our supreme law all the
time.
Now then: I read that the
result of this so-called re-ap
portionment will be to have
states legislators devote them
selves exclusively to matters of
State concern. But what about
the Constitution we have; the
Constitution of 1895? It stern
ly forbids the administrative
meddling with County affairs.
Read it: Isn’t this clear en
ough? Will a new Constitu
tion be respected more than
this ?
The Constitution said that no
person from one department
Shall serve in another depart
ment. It means that there are
country.
And three defectors from
Communism, flying in an un
armed plane from Matsu to
Formosa, were shot down by
Red Chinese jets; death inter
rupted their flight to freedom.
Ye<t we still seek to convince
ourselves that the Communists
are willing to give freedom to
their captives.
When will we ever learn ?
three departments: Legislative,
Judicial and Administrative—
so it explicitly enjoins any
member of the Executive De
partment from serving in the
Legislative Department and
vice versa. So the practice of
the legislative delegation from
the County, acting as supreme
executive authority in that
county, is absolutely repug
nant to the Constitution.
As to re-apportionment: As
a man in the street I think the
existing arrangement fairly
equitable: Each county has a
Senator. Each county has one
member of the House, but many
have more, depending on the
population.
Each County, then, has one
Senator, Calhoun and Green
ville and so on. But Greenville
has about eight times as many
representatives, because of the
population.
In our national affairs each
state has two Senators, New
York—two, Rhode Island, two,
and so on. But the Representa
tives in Congress are according
to the number of the population
—New York probably has 20
times as many as Rhode Island.
Now if that arrangement is
equitable for the Nation, why
all this hallabaloo in intra
state matters ?
Each county should have a
Cenral Board. Well, we have it:
The County Commissioners.
The Senator has a controlling
interest because he is the au
thority for the budget since
the county budget must be au
thorized by Act of the General
Assembly—a thoroughly bad
arrangement.
Now is the two Senators are
enough for New York, though
Rhode Island has two, why not
give New York about fifty
Senators.
I fall back on my first im
pression: We could leave well
enough alone except that a
Federal Court has assumed
jurisdiction. Wtoy doesn’t the
Congress declare the functions
of the Courts and the matter of
jurisdiction?
As you may know, the Gov
ernor was supposed to appoint
all officials. But he is now
largely reduced to the status
of a peripatetic orator.
Likewise the General As
sembly was supposed to make
appropriations; now a small
Commission has broad discre
tionary powers.
So you see, Constitutions are

l First Order of Business
' AT THE BEGINNING of the
second session, the 89th Con
gress is confronted with the ne
cessity of immediately making
some hard reassessments of the
problems facing the nation. To
a major extent, all other prob
lems can only be put into per
spective after the prospect for
the war in Southeast Asia is
calculated.
THE FIRST ORDER of busi
ness mast be, therefore, a care
ful and realistic reassessment
of the conduct and cost of the
war. Each of the basic assump
tions which have heretofore
guided the conduct of the war
need re-examination.
DESPITE the urgency of the
need for a re-evaluation of the
; war, Congress has only con-
i vened, not really commenced.
’ Military spending requests,
which must be the first order
of business, have not been sent
to the Congress, but are being
held in abeyance, awaiting the
outcome of the “peace oflen-
sive.” If the communists were
to give an indication of interest
in “negotiations,” it is apparent
that the Administration would
drastically scale down the mil
itary appropriation requests to
avoid presenting Congress with
a choice between guns and but-
rer l
THERE is obvlpusly an as
sumption that any "'response by
the communists in Hanoi to
the “peace offensive” Would in
dicate an interest by them in
an early negotiated settlement
of the war. This is the first as
sumption which needs to be re
examined.
THERE ARE other factors
than a desire for a “negotiated
peace” which could prompt
them to give some signals In
dicating an Interest in negotia
tions. A part of the “peace of
fensive” Is the cessation off
bombing of North Viet-Nam.
The Reds recognize the possi
bility that when and if the
bombing Is resumed. It will be
at an Increased level. If signs of
Interest, without even negotiat
ing, much less accepting a
truce, can keep the (7.8. “peace
offensive” alive, a communist
military build-up and re-supply
can be accomplished without In
terference by air strikes from
O.S. planes
IT 18 ALSO generally as
sumed that North VJet-Nam**
lack of interest in peace or ne
gotiations is a result of Red
China’s influence in HanoL This
assumption may also be errone
ous. It is increasingly clear that
the great preponderance of the
hardware and other resources
on which North Viet-Nam de
pends to wage the war comes
not from China, but by sea
from the Soviet Union and her
eastern European satellites.
There is a steady stream of
ships plying the 7,500-mile
water route between Odessa
and Haiphong, carrying every
thing from machine tools to
railroad rails, from dump trucks
to missiles, from marine mo
tors to petroleum. The Soviets
make no secret of their assist
ance to North Viet-Nam. Prav-
da, the official Soviet Commu
nist Party paper, recently
pointed out that “the USSR
does its utmost -for the de
liveries of Soviet military ma
terial, arms, engineering facil
ities. and the necessary ammu
nition to be made accurately
and according to schedule.” If
Russia cut off the supplies, Han
oi would be forced to negoti
ate or be defeated militarily
EVEN THE assumption that
the communist purpose in South
Viet-Nam is to get the U.S.
military out so that Hanoi or
Peking can rule the whole of
Viet-Nam is of questionable val
idity. An equally strong or
stronger case can be made for
an assumption that the princi
pal communist objective is to
get the U.S. Involved to the
maximum extent in a ground
war of attrition in Asia in
which our superiority in tech
nology and modern weaponry
remains unused.
ERRONEOUS ' assumptions,
relating both to the conduct
and financing of the war. and
inexcusable delays in correcting
such assumptions, have seri
ously Impaired our war efforts
to date. Congress has the im
perative responsibility — with
the help of the executive, if
available; without, if necessary
—to begin immediately on
studies and hearings that will
permit a realistic evaluation of
the war and sensible planning
to avoid the haphazard, make
shift, day-to-day approach
which baa largely prevailed so
far.
Sincerely;
honored in the breach.
The Saints have departed
and even the angels dwell no
longer with us.
Travelling over the western
states we read signs that might
cause the innocent or the ignor
ant to imagine that once the
Saints dwelt there. Let us see
and try to imagine a saint there.
Before going afar I took a
look near home and found the
little community of St. Paul in
Clarendon county. Looking
around one can hardly strain
his mind to believe that St.
Paul ever visited there. Then
across the Santee I find St.
Stephen. Now that venerable
Saint was beaten to death and
Paul stood looking on. Paul
wasn’t a Saint then, but he
continues a close proximity to
Stephen for St. Paul of Claren
don and St. Stephen of Berke-
; ley are commemorated in close
proximity.
That’s as far as I found the
Saints in my bailiwick.
Let us look farther away: If
we cross the Mississippi we
find Saints almost everywhere.
Before we call the Saints
there is Corpus Christi—body
of Christ—in Texas. Going far
ther in Texas we find San An
tonio—Saint Anthony. Leaving
Texas for a moment we carry
on and come to SantaFe—
Holy faith. That town in the
long stretches of sand must
have been founded on faith,
though slight evidence re
mains. The City of Laredo must
have had Spanish origin, but
makes no claim to faith or San
ctity and I saw nothing of that
kind there. It is a border town
on the Rio Grande leading into
Mexico.
Leaving Texas again we ar
rive in California and find our
selves in San Diego. I have no
information about that Saint—
and no one else claims him.
California was a favorite of
the Saints and claims angels,
too.
•San Francisco—Saint Francis
was a noble and notable monk.
If he left his mark on the city
of his name I find no worthy
shrine commemorating his life
of toil and abnegation.
Los Angeles must have been
a transcendently noble and
pure city for the name — Los
Ajngeles, means The Angels.
I spent a week there and trav
elled all around but I did not
see or hear of an angel. Cer
tainly those I met did not seem
to be of angelic character or
angelic loveliness and appeal.
I must conclude that the
angels moved out of the city
as it became infested with
wicked people.
Alas and alack Los Angeles
is only a name and no angel
lives there now.

issippi is Saint Louis, the great

Are you a hobbyist who likes
to putter? Maybe you do paper
sculpture, needlepoint or decora
tions for the children’s room.
If so, artistry may lead you
into unexpected paths. It can
also enrich family life.
Take Virginia Tiffany. She al
ways liked to work with pebbles,
paint pots, yarn and rope. After
receiving an art degree, she did
store display, later pottery work,
more painting, more experiment
ing. Then she branched out.
Stitchery caught her eye when
she read a book about it. A free<
wheeling approach to needle
work, stitchery allows the artist
full freedom.
A furry beanbag was her first
success. Made into a figure, it
started a demand among college
students. Hundreds of beanbags
were sold. A museum director
decided to animate them. Vir
ginia’s “jumping beanbags” drew
1500 visitors a day to Manhat
tan’s Museum of Contemporary
Crafts. Galleries and dealers ex
hibited her stitchery.
But you needn’t go to a
museum to see her work.
A new book called Tell Me Cat,
from Whitman Publishing
Company of Racine, Wis., com
bines stitchery by Virginia Tif
fany, verses by Ellen Fisher, and
photographs of cats. Children
will be captivated by the lay
outs, done with thread, yarn and
rope on burlap and photo
graphed.
“I work with many materials ”
says the artist. Right now she is
practicing netlike stitches and
trying out old timbers as a back
ground for her work. Virginia
and her film-producer husband
live in Madison, Wisconsin. To
gether they help son Steve, 7,
make tin-can robots or card
board castles. “Nothing gets
thrown away,” she says, “we all
like to see what we can do.”
Children who leaf through the
new book may develop the
same creative urge. The young
est browser is sure to gain in
art appreciation as he pores over
a rich array of pages, practicing
his reading.
Saint. Verily I found no Saint
or brother of a saint; all the
saints have left.
I just recall Saint George, in
Dorchester county of South Car
olina. But nothing I ev^r heard
of that thriving city suggests
that a Saint even passed that
way.
I am reminded of a Com
munity—Saint Charles — In
Sumter county. But if any
Saint ever spent an hour there
nothing proves it today.
It’s a sad world: all the
Saints and angels departed long
ago and today we strive and
struggle without their inspira
tion and comradeship.
The Saints, San Francisco,
San Antonio; and the name Los
Angeles are all Spanish and
reflect the Spanish influence
in our country.
Although the British finally
had the strongest influence, the
Dutch and the French had in
fluence, the Notre Dame Uni
versity reflects French. Notre
Dame means “Our Lady” and
refers to the Virgin Mary. The
Spanish made the profoundest
impression in the beginning.
Observe the names of States in
the West: Although Louisiana
and New Orleans reflect French
influence; Louisiana for King
Louis and New Orleans for the
city of Orleans in France, made
memorable by the maid of
Orleans, who was burned as a
witch and is the patron saint
of France today.
California, New Mexico, Col
orado, Montana, are Spanish
names. Texas—called Tejas—
was Spanish, of Mexican flavor.
On the Atlantic coast, the
Carolinas, Georgia, New York,
New Hampshire, show English
ancestry, but Pennsylvania was
invented, being a gift to Wil
