THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 1966 THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE THREE Holstein cow on Satterwhite top milker Great cows continue to set records in Newberry county. A Holstein cow in the large dairy herd of Claude Satterwhite has topped them all. On DHIA test day this month, she milked 116 pounds of milk—almost 13 and one-half gallons of milk produced in a single day! According to Newberry coun ty DHIA Supervisors—Hey ward Riddle and Henry Long shore—this is the most milk «ver produced by any cow in a single day in their combined 10 years’ experience. County Ag ent A1 Busby believes this to he the highest millk production of any cow in the long dairy history of Newberry County. Unfortunately, this great cow’s ancestry cannot be traced. It is known that she was one of a herd of dairy cows bought by Mr. Satterwhite from S. M. <iary of Whitmire. Since Mr. <5ary was for many years a user of artificial breeding, it is thought she is most likely a product of artificial breeding. ■County Agent A1 Busby hails this signal achievement a tri bute to good breeding and to the good feeding and manage ment provided at the Satter white Dairy farm. During her last complete lac tation, this cow milked 18,600 pounds of milk. The herd aver age of over 11,000 pounds of milk per cow on 169 cows is considerably above the county and state DHIA average. Sat terwhite is a strong supporter of both the County’s Artificial Breeding and DHIA programs.

A—Generally speaking, the new system will increase take home pay for those who have been overwithheld and reduce take home pay for those who have been underwithheld. To find out what the effect will be on your paycheck, ask your employer or the local IRS office for a copy of IRS docu ment 5642. Tables in this one- page fact sheet will enable you to compare the amounts with held under both the new and the old system. Q—Who has to file a new withholding exemption certifi cate ? All married people must file a new form W-4 if they want tax withheld at the rates from the table for married persons instead of table for single per sons. The law says that unless an employee files a new W-4 withholding form with his em ployer indicating he is married, he will be considered single for tax withholding purposes. Some widows and widowers also will be concerned with fil ing a new Form W-4, and should see IRS Document 5642 for details. Actually, all employees should review their withholding situa tion to see whether another W-4 should be filed. Q—When do the new with holding rates start? A—The rates become effect ive May 1 and apply to am ounts paid on or after that date. Q—Can I still claim fewer exemptions than I am entitled to under the new withholding system ? A—Y. ', you can still claim fewer exemptions than you are entitled to, but the graduated withholding rates are designed to bring withholding closer to actual tax liability and it may not be necessary for you to drop any of your exemptions. Q—If the new withholding system is going to give the government more revenue isn’t that a tax increase? A—No. The graduated with holding rates will only speed up collections, they will not change total yearly tax liabilities. In other words, the government will only be getting the amount of taxes it is entitled to at present rates but it will be getting it sooner. Q—How will the new rates on withholding effect estimated tax payments for employees? A—Generally, estimated tax declarations are required when the tax for the^year exceeds tax withheld by $40 or more. For middle and upper income tax payers, it should also reduce the amount required for esti mated payments. Thus, under the new withholding rates, some employees may no longer need to file an estimate. If you have to file declara tions of estimated tax, check to see whether the increased withholding under graduated rates will meet your total tax liability. Q—How can the new system reduce withholding for some people when the lowest rate is still 14 per cent? A—The new system has been designed to take the minimum standard deduction into Account. This was not done under the old system. Also, the ne\*r sys tem makes a distinction be tween separate and joint re turns so withholding is lower for married taxpayers than it is for single taxpayers. Q—Can widows and widowers be considered married for with holding purposes? A—For payroll purposes a widow or widower is considered married for the year of the spouse’s death and for the two following years if he qualifies as a surviving spouse. Widow ers or widows should claim their exemptions on line 2 on Form W-4. This is the line for mar ried persons. Q—What is the highest rate of withholding under the new system ? A—The top rate is 30 per cent. IN HOSPITAL The many friends of David A. Quattlebaum of Bishopville, will regret to know he is a patient at the Baptist hospital in Columbia. He is a graduate of Newberry college. He was popular and took an active part in student activities and athletics while in college here. His room number at the hos pital is 172. Exchangites begin sale of toothbrushes The Exchange Club of New- ^ berry today began the sale of Nylon Toothbrushes as a fund raising project for funds to be used exclusively on community projects. Over 40 club members are actively calling at homes of Newberrians and offering the Fuller Fund Raising Com pany’s Family-Pak, consisting of two adult and one youth brush at a savings from the regular price for this quality brush. Exchange President Gordon Leslie said that dental health is one part of personal hygiene that is oft times neglected and the Exchange Club has adopt ed this project in an effort to raise the standard of dental health and at the same time benefit the community other wise by raising monej^ to be spent on other worthwhile community projects. “No funds realized from community fund raising projects are used to the benefit of the club itself,” Mr. Leslie said. All moneys obtained are placed in a special fund which is expended only for the development of a better community in which to live. Funds from past Exchange Club money raising projects have been used to promote or ganized athletics and reward deserving high school students who are outstanding "in their particular athletic participa tion. Other funds have been used to place reproductions of historical documents in both the Newberry and Whitmire High schools in recent months. Deserving citizens have been given special recognition for outstanding community services and these worthwhile projects will be continued, the Club President reported. The special toothbrush fam- ily-pak offers three brushes for onedollar as opposed to the standard price of $2.07. V. S^MAJtmi PKXUlTIt Outstanding REAL ESTATE SALES At PUBLIC AUCTION!!

Speakers at the con ference included Vice President Humphrey and Secretary of Agriculture Freeman. Ronnie has had over seven years of experience in 4-H Club work. We are certainly proud of have Ronnie represent us at this important event! Note To Rose Growers Guess everyone enjoys nat ure’s gift—the Rose. About a month from now the blooms should be plentiful—plentiful if you control those diseases that are so common. Black spot, a fungus disease, causes round,, black spots on the leaves. These leaves turn yellow and fall off. Good cleanup of dead leaves, helps reduce the amount of dis ease. Then, have a regular spraying schedule of one fung icide—Captan, Maneb, Folpet or Zineb. Powdery mildew also gives growers trouble. It can be controlled by chemicals, elso. For healthy plants don’t forget to use a regular insecticide- fungicide at least every ten to 14 days. , Pond Weed* Pond Wue ls are a problem anytime but now is a good time to do something about them. Elmer Epting, soil conserva tionist, says Dalapon is partic ularly effective in the control of Cattails. Cattails grow in shallow water and should be sprayed as soon as they come out of the water. Epting states that One pound in five gallons of water sprayed on the foliage is recommended. Then, repeat this application in two to three weeks. This should give control for this year. Silvex is a very good chemi cal on broadleaf pond weeds used according to the manu facturer’s recommendation. ropean victim of “Coalition Government. Marshall’s “Liberal” Communists Marshall called the “liberals” a “splendid group of men, but who as yet lack the political power to exercise a controlling influence ... It appeared to to me that there is a definite liberal group among the Com munists, especially of young men, who have turned to the Communists in disgust at the corruption evident in. the local governments.” The statement | followed one made by Marshall as he departed China the day before, in which he declared that in Chiang Kai shek’s gov- we forget this history of just 20 years ago!

In my opinion, * to almost every effort I have \ made to influence the forma tion of a genuine coalition gov ernment.” These two statements from one of our most highly respect ed Military-Statesmen, together with the embargo which Marsh all and Mr. Truman clamped on shipments of arms to the Chiang forces, spelled the doom of free China. The event im measurably boosted strength and power and world prestige of Comntunism, and it unques tionably 'led to the North Kor ean and Chinese Communist invasion of South Korea, again at a ghastly cost of American lives and resources. Wedenteyer Wasn’t Fooled When Marshall ordered the embargo on arms to Chaing’s anti - Communist government, there were sufficient men in Congress who knew the nature of World Communism to set up a loud clamor. This nat ional stir caused Mr. Truman to send General Wedemeyer, chief planner of World War II strategy, to China. The Presi dent and Marshall evidently ex pected Wedemeyer to concur in Marshall’s sympathy for the Communist “liberals” and the condemnation of Chiang’s gov ernment. He didn’t . Wedemeyer’s report, suppres sed and not released until after the Russian-armed Chinese had driven Chiang’s forces into the sea, rejected Marshall’s apprai sals and recommendations. Wed emeyer strongly urged the U. S. to help Chaing’s forces in every way. He predicted such help would defeat Communism and preserve this potentially great country as an anti-Com- munist ally of the U. S. Must we permit history to be repeat ed in Viet Nam? We may—if America’s 55-million families would be cut year after year in purchasing power—by infla tion. Two major factors in money inflation are government deficit spending and rising pro duction costs in industry with out corresponding and offset ting increases in production per man hour. Both factors emerg ed in Washington in 1947 as acceptable as patterns for in clusion in our economic system. The stage was set through the exercise of war-time powers by President Truman. The ac tions were reported in the New York Times editions for the first week of January 1947. The Truman Administration that week usKered in the era of peacetime deficit spending which now has extended twiSnt^ years under both Republican and Democratic control of the Government—with the Budget out of balance 15 of the 20 years, and expenditures ex ceeding receipts by $60 billion. John L. Lewis Rides High The Truman Administration in this period also established a pattern for wage increases not based on (and far exceed ing) the increase In productiv ity which year after year has takeen place because of the im- proVemefit 6f machine toots and production techniques.

General Albert C. Wedemeyer, who went to China six months later, also on a special mission for President Truman, showed by his state ments and recommendations that he had learned the nature of the Communist enemy. But the statements and rec ommendations of Gen. Wede meyer were not revealed- to Congress or to the Amearicsu people. General Marshall, who became Secretary- of State on January 7, 1947, and Mr: Tru man joined in the suppression of the Wedemeyer report. Mar shall clamped an arms embargo on the Chinese Government headed by Chiang Kai-shek, and it became only a question of time before the Soviet-armed and Soviet-trained Communist armies would drive the Free- China forces off the mainland and take over China—to drasti cally change the course of world history. History Must Be Recalled The New York Times of January 8, 1947, brings this disastrous page of history into clear focus—and every Ameri can, especially Senators and Congressmen, ought to re-read the record of that fateful per iod 20 years ago and get an un derstanding of the horrible price of appeasement. Today some influential Voices in Washington are being raised to encourage a withdrawal of Am erican troops from South Viet Nam, a “peace” conference and a “coalition” government in South Viet Nam, with the Com munists in it. As the New York Times re cords, General Marshall oh the 7th of January, 1947, told the American people that the sal vation of China would be “the assumption of leadership by the liberals in the Government and in the minority parties.” (A few days later, the Reds in Hungary took over the '‘Coali tion” Government in which they had controlled the Inter im Ministry—The Police: Hun-J gary became another east Eu- was preceded by a few min utes today by Government seiz ure ‘lock, stock and barrel’ of the valuable West Virginia pro perties of the Carter Coal Co., which from now on will be operated for the Government’s own account and at its risk.

Devised to curb the ac tivities of John L. Lewis, and passed by an irate Congress over a Presidential veto, jit proved Tittle more than a mock ery even as a war measure. For as it worked out in prac- t tice, what he was unable to ob tain from the mine owners (through normal collective bar gaining), Mr. Lewis succeeded in getting by precipitating seiz ure of the mines and dealing with the government.” (The mines later were returned . to their owners but the govern ment contract term* remained.)

The two factors—Government deficit spending anid industrial price inflation—have combined in the years since 1947 to re duce the purchasing power of the dollar by approximately 20 per cent. In other words, living costs have increased 20 per cent, and they continue to rise as Government spending soars and the LBJ wage “guide lines” are shattered by powerful un ions, most of whom have not even been verbally chastized by ter company seizure was this: the White House.
