COLD FACTS ABOUT THE COLD WAR “I’ll think about it tomorrow.” Thus did Scarlet O’Hara, the heroine of “Gone With The Wind,” brush aside her dilem mas. And thus are most of us tempted to do with problems. If we ignore them, maybe they will go away. So it is with the threat of World War III. Nobody wants to believe that the Soviets would actually launch an at tack that would wipe out the United States. We avoid that horrible thought by talking a- bout the Sino-Soviet split and the fact that the Communists are “mellowing.” But the armaments race goes on. So it must until Commun ism has renounced its avowed plans to conquer the world by fair means or foul. The official policy of the United States is that we will never strike first. Therefore, our defense system is based on retaliation. One of the most knowledge able members of Congress on the subject of nuclear defense is California Representative Craig Hosmer, who appeared on Manion Forum broadcast No. 584. He addressed himself to a recent proposal of Secretary of Defense McNamara. “The proposal,” he said, “is that we junk 425 SAC bombers and replace them with 210 TFX bombers and 360 new intercon tinental missiles.” Hosmer cal culates that this would reduce our power by at least 22 per cent. “The payload that missiles carry,” continued Hosmer, “is much less than that which bombers can carry; bombers; bombers can impose much greater damage to the enemy than can missiles. Also, we have to look at our missile capacity as a somewhat untried one. The missiles we have standing by in case of attack have never flown. “There are a large number of our SAC bombers on ready at all times. They are not Tn silos. They are not on airplane fields. They are actually in the air waiting to go. In that sense, these bombers are almost in destructible by the first strike of an enemy. ■ S-A-V-E BY THE EARN DIVIDEND From MARCH 1st l»th Building and Loan Association 1117 Boyce Street Newberry, S. C. Dial 276-5660 DIRECTORS: Ralph B. Baker J. Dave Caldwell PinekBey N. Abrams Louis C. Floyd Thomas H. Pop# R. Aubrey Harley “In my analysis of the situa tion, I feel that this deterrent force that we have—the mix of manned bombers and missiles— is a proven force. It has de terred the Russians and if we continue it' in that manner we can expect to continue to deter them. But when we staet to manipulate or fool around with it, to change the mix, we’re getting into an untried area that might or might not work.” Mixmaster McNamara seems to have a drastic change in mind, and if it doesn’t work, 150 million Americans may be mur dered. Our strength is all that keeps the Communists from striking. One sign of w eakness will be all they need. Order copies of Mr. Hosmer’s broadcast from the Manion Forum, South Bend, Ind. and send them to your Congressmen and Senators. The life you save may be you own. NO PEACE WITHOUT FREEDOM Nobodylikes war. The over whelming hope of all of i’s is ultimate peace. Unfortunately, most of the people now demonstrating in the name of “peace” are ignor ing some basic facts of life. And in their ignorance, they are actually promoting war. We asked Dr. Lev Dobrians- ky, of Georgetown University, to explore the hope for peace on a recent Manion Forum roadcast. Dobriansky, who is chairman of the National Cap tive Nations Committee, had this to say: “The possibility of obtaining peace is a very real one. How ever, we must distinguish be tween what we in a free world regard as genuine peace and what the various Red totali tarian regimes talk about, namely, peaceful existence. “When the Red regimes speak of peaceful coexistence, they mean, actually, coexisting momentarily with the Western world, particularly the United States, and while doing so, carrying on wars of national liberation. These so-called wars of liberation are, in effect, in filtrations — subversions into many of the continents of the world. “The peaceful coexistence that has been fomented pri marily by Moscow serves as a shield for its political sub versions in other parts of the world. This in turn foments revolutions and turnovers. As a consequence, in the final analysis, it brings American military power into play as a kind of last minute resort or reaction. We see this now in South Viet Nam.” Peaceful coexistence, then, is a tool of the Communists; a cover under which they wage war. To accept coexistence on Red terms is tantamount to asking for more “wars of lib- 1 eration.” While we are lulled by false “peace,” the Com munists are continuing their drive for world dominion. What, then, is real peace— and is there a chance we may attain it? Yes, says Dr. Dob riansky, but true peace cannot exist until freedom is granted to the billion people now cruel ly enslaved by Communism. “The captive nations,” said Dobrainsky, “constitute one of our major deterrents against a global war. Not only that ;I would even go so far as to say that it’s a major deterrent ag ainst some of these wars of national liberation. “Many people think that when you speak of liberation it will mean a hot war. On the contrary the appeal is made on political grounds and can sway and influence the various peoples throughout the entire Red empire.” If the peacemongers manage to get us out of Viet Nam, they will be aiding the Corn- munists to attain a position from which more liberation may be started. And nothing could be more against the cause of peace. RETREAT FROM POVERTY Since it seems clear that mopping up the Reds in South east Asia is going to be a long, expensive operation (unless something quickly comes from Ho in the Johnson peace-feeler movement), the sensible ans wer for Congress appears now to be: put a sizeable batch of the poorly conceived, hastily planned domestic programs on the back burner. This is not in accord with the President’s rec ommendation to the Congress, but a retreat from Great So ciety spending seems the only sensible way to approach fiscal policy during the Viet Nam crisis. We believe sincerely that President Johnson and the leaders of his party overesti mate the will of the people, in what he interprets as a cons tant clamor for the welfare state. The public was never insistent, except for certain pressure groups, upon govern ment medical care. The war on poverty under various phases of the economic opportunity act, however, is rapidly devel oping into one of the most con fused and unpopular federal forays into political spending ever conceived in the U. S. A retreat on the poverty war front seems clearly to be called for. Local Objectiors It is not likely that federal officials are going to put out a summary of how much op position they have encountered on the local level against these various programs. But the Congress could and should look into this aspect. Evidence seems to be accumulating that nobody on the local level can generate much enthusiasm about anti poverty dollars, except the ap pointees to $15,000 and up administrative jobs who run the programs. A report by the Indianapolis News finds sev eral counties that want no part of it, say no dire poverty ex ists there, that they can take care of any problems on their own, but that the bureaucrats “are trying to ram this down our throats.” In Shelby county, Indiana, and two adjoining counties where no dire poverty seems to exist and little, if any, unem ployment experienced, a fed eral official threatened to have a few enthusiasts incorporate a program so as to bypass the local authorities who object to setting up the activities. This obviously is an exaxmple of having Washington put local problems on a federal basis, whether the people there want it or not. The mav"' 1 ' of Shel- byville insists tha .he com munity’s own people 3 meet ing the needs they have, and doing it proudly and well. The Record is Bad it is said to cost $6,000 a year for the Job Corps to train and rehabilitate high school dropouts, and one-sixth cf the recruits entering the corps re neat their dropout from the Corps. Camp Kilmer, N. J. has been looked upon as the show- place of the Job Corps, yet after a year in which it was equipped to handle 2,500 boys it enrolls only half that many and finds only three ready to graduate. It has a phenomenal staff-student ratio of one for each 2.5 b^ys, yet class attend ance is potvr to none at all. Yet, its Rutgers University advisors are calling for more entertain ment and social-leisure for the enrollees. Political Implications Allegations of graft and cor ruption in the Boston Youth Corps program brought a freeze there on $5.5 million in federal funds. According to a Boston newspaper, the evidence reveals quite a lot of political activity, even the selling of dinner tickets to a political af fair for the mayor, particularly to business firms that do busi ness with the corps. If this were not scandalous enough, it is reported that Communists are making strong and success ful efforts to muscle in on var ious federal activities in the program, which in turn gives them and their social experi menters plenty of room to at tack “middle class morality” and whip the proletariat into political action. This latter kind of political SENATOR STRO HURMOND Reports PEOPLE Foreign Aid “Face Lifting” IN RECENT YEARS, there has been increasing dissatisfac tion and resentment by the American public toward the U. S. foreign aid program Since 1948, the United States has given more than $100 bil lion to 118 nations, and 77 of these nations are still on the receiving list. The public reac tion results from the obvious failure of “dollar diplomacy” and the all too frequent scan dals in administration which have come to light. THE GROWING public dis taste for the foreign aid pro gram has been reflected in Congress, also. TO MEET and circumvent the mounting opposition to for eign aid, the President has proposed a “new look” for for eign aid. SIGNIFICANTLY, there is no actual reduction in the amount requested for foreign aid from the level of spending in recent years. The President wants the Congress to authorize and appropriate $3.93 billion for direct assistance, and in- iirect assistance would bring this up to about $5 billion for total foreign aid spending. THE “FACE LIFTING” falls primarily in three categories First, various types of foreign aid would be given new names, in order to be less easily iden tified as foreign aid Second, the trend toward funneling more and more of the aid through “international organ izations” would be stepped up. Third, the frequency of Con gressional action on foreign aid programs would be cut down. A SUBSTANTIAL part of foreign aid has In the past been spent In the fields of edu cation and health. Funds for these purposes have been lumped In the appropriations for economic aid, however. The President now proposes to In stitute separately identifiable programs in each of these fields by having Congress pass an “International Education Act” and an “International Health Act.” Foreign aid funds for education would be Increased 50% to more than $200 million annually under Its new label. Foreign aid funds for health activities would be Increased by two-thirds to more than $1M million annually under Its new label. THE PRESIDENT asks that the United States increase its contributions to multilateral lending institutions, and to help create new ones. One of those to which the President requests contributions to be increased is the United Nations Develop ment Fund, headed by Paul Hoffman This is the United Nations body which last year funneled $2.1 million into Fidel Castro’s “School of Tech nology" at the University of Havana. Of the $2.1 million, the United States share of this contribution to Castro was about $840,000 In actuality, this “School of Technology” is a military training school staffed by Soviet military offi cers The U S representative on the UN Development Fund did not vote against the grant, but only objected “in prin ciple " ANOTHER example of the “internationalization" of the foreign aid program is the crea tion of the “Asian Development Bank.” to which the President has requested the Congress to authorize a contribution of $200 million. In the President’s words, “the Bank is open to all countries in the region, regard less of ideology ” Accordingly, the organizers of the Bank have declared already that communist Outer Mongolia is eligible to join BY FUNNELING foreign aid funds through international or ganizations. the U S tosses control over specific grants and loans made with its money. THE PRESIDENT is also asking Congress for five-year authorizations for economic aid programs This would eliminate the increasingly difficult annual battles which the Administra tion must face in Congress to get approval for the program. It would also deprive Congress of the power to demand infor mation about the foreign aid program each year before its approval Is given. THERE IS considerable evi dence the new look in foreign aid is little more than a “face lifting” in the hope of hiding the same amounts of give-away funds and many of the old ob jectionable features behind a fresh point Job.

What the Communists want to do, of course, is to turn this nation’s Great Society pro grams into a base for advanc ing the Communist Party—an entirely different kind of ex ploitation of the poor from that of the Boston politicians and the Washington spenders. There are to many reasons why the Congress ought to retrench in the so-called Poverty War, now. PATIENTS IN THE HOSPITAL Timothy Allen Livingston, City. Mrs. Margaret Diane Go forth, City.
