PEOPLE
THE LETTER OF THE LAW
DOWN THROUGH HIS
TORY, those societies which
placed a premium on individual
liberty have recognized the ne
cessity for a government of
laws, rather than men. This
concept was born in the minds
and hearts of those who had
experienced the heavy hand of
the tyrant and who lived in
constant fear for their liberties
and their very lives.
THE OPPRESSION of the
King’s rule, and the colonists'
subjugation to his will, rather
than to the written law, are
repeatedly referred to in the
recitation of grievances con
tained in the Declaration of
Independence.
THE REVOLUTIONARY
WAR was waged to secure free
dom from the dictates of a
foreign tyrant, and the Consti
tution was designed to prevent
encroachments upon that free
dom by either foreign or do
mestic despots. The framers of
the Constitution knew that an
accumulation of power In the
hands of any one person or
group of persons posed the
greatest threat to the liberties
of the people. For that reason,
they established a system of
self-government embodying the
concept of a dispersal of powers
and a system of checks and
balances upon the exercise of
those powers.
THE INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY
of all Americans stands in jeop
ardy today because of an ac
cumulation of vast amounts of
power in the Executive branch
of the Government. In many
cases Congress has abdicated
the responsibility placed upon
it by the Constitution, and dele
gated its authority to the Ex
ecutive. In other cases, the au
thority to make rules and take
arbitrary action has been as
sumed by the Executive in the
absence of any law.
THE CREATION of such dis
cretionary authority, which car
ries with it the power to arbi
trarily decide to whom it will
apply, comes dangerously close
to government by man, or ex
ecutive fiat, rather than govern
ment by written law.
A GOOD EXAMPLE of this
dangerous trend Is In the Admin
istration’s so-called Civil Rights
Act of 1966. This bill would
vest In the Executive branch of
the Government, specifically the
Attorney General, excessive
amounts of arbitrary power to
be used at his pleasure. In es
sence, the law would be applied
only when and where the At
torney General directed, to re
quire compliance with h i s
whims.
TITLE II, relating to the
jury selection processes of the
State courts, would make the
Attorney General a virtual czar
over this essential element of
the administration of Justice.
The Attorney General would be
authorized, in his discretion, to
bring suit to suspend or pro
hibit the use of any qualifica
tion for jurors provided by the
laws of the State. The local
jury commissioners would then
be presumed guilty of using the
law in a discriminatory manner
unless they could prove them
selves innocent of any wrong
doing. Federal referees could be
appointed to preside over future
jury selection processes.
THE JURY SYSTEM is the
heart of the administration of
Justice in our country, and to
authorize or condone such tam
pering with it would be the ini
tial step toward snuffing out
the flame of Justice which our
forefathers fought and died to
ignite.
TITLE HI proposes another
and an even more unrestrained
grant of power to the Attorney
General. Under our system of
laws, any person who believes
himself aggrieved may bring
suit for redress. Congress has
previously gone so far as to
allow the Atorney General to
bring suits for individuals in
school cases if they complain to
him. Under the pending pro
posal, the Attorney General
could bring suit, on his own in
itiative, against any school dis
trict in the country even with
out a complaint upon which to
base his action.
A SOCIETY supposedly based
on a government of laws most
also show a proper respect for
its citizens in the laws it enacts,
and not create discretionary
authority in any of Its officials
to wield uncontrolled and arbi
trary power.
THE WISDOM OF Thomas
Jefferson was never more ap
parent than when he said: "In
questions of power, then, let no
more be heard of confidence in
man, but bind him down from
mischief by the chains of the
Constitution.”

ACCEPT NOT THIS EVIL
The people who are agitat
ing for the United States to
I give full diplomatic recognition
to Communist China and Cas-
tros Cub’a should be required
in public print to answer
charges made in recent days
by two persons whose author-
! ity cannot be questioned — J.
Edgar Hoover, Director of the
Federal Bureau of Investiga-
i tion, and Dr. Miguel Angel
Olba Benito, Secretary Gener
al of the Commission for Hum
ane Treatment of Political
Prisoners in Cuba.
The FBI Director said: “In
1960, the year after he seized
power, Fidel Castro gave Red
China its first — and at this
point its only — embassy in
Latin America. From the sanc
tuary afforded them by this
Cuban diplomatic post, the
Chinese have launched an in
tensive campaign of treachery
and subversion throughout
other parts of the Americas.
The Maoists have repeatedly
announced their goal of World
Communism, which must be
won by militarily crushing the
United States. They are deter
mined that the American
people shall contribute to
their own downfall.
Enemy Exploits Recognition
“No one is more fully aware
of the opportunities for ex
ploitation provided by our free
and open society than commu
nist-block intelligent agents—
particularly those assigned to
diplomatic establishments in
Washington and New York.
These communist officials sub
scribe to a wide variety of
American newspapers and
magazines. They avidly read
military, scientific and indus
trial publications. They travel
widely, taking pictures and
gathering maps, charts and
other printed matter; and they
are among the most interested
observers at special meetings
and exhibitions of American
technological societies.
“The Red Chinese, however,
do not have the advantage of
diplomtic representation i n
the United States. They have
neither an embassy in Wash
ington nor a United Nations
mission in New York to pro
vide ‘cover’ and immunity for
intelligence agents. Thus their
espionage offensive against
this country has been mounted
from command posts beyond
our borders..”
Cuba —A Challenge
The American people couldn’t
have a clearer warning against
U. S. or UN acceptance of
Red China. And Mr. Hoover’s
statement cries loudly for an
effective bottling up of Castros
Cuba, which has become World
Communism’s most valuable
international crossroads for
espionage, insurrection, and in
filtration — a Western Hemi
sphere beachhead for spread
of revolution, a Carribean field
headquarters of inestimable
value to Soviet, Chinese and
Viet Nam forces fighting hot
and cold wars against the
United States.
Every day that Cuba is al
lowed to continue its evil mis
sion, the moral principles of
the free world (and especially
the USA, whose Monroe Doc
trine actually requires the
stamping out of this Commun
ist invasion of the Americas)
are compromised. Dr. Olba
Benito heads an organization
wtoich includes thousands of
anti-Communist Cubans still in
Cuba, and thousands of exiles
who have escaped to the U.S.
Its recent reports dramatize
how completely Castro’s Cuba
in its services to World Com
munism, has defied and defiled
all human values.
The Evil Force
“There were 166 executions
last May 27 at LaCabana for
tress prison in Havana,” Dr.
Olba Benito reported for his
organization. “Before shooting
the prisoners, an average of
seven pints of blood were ex
tracted from each. The blood
is being sent to Communist
Viet Nam”—where it will be
used in World Communism’s
present Asian “War of Liber
ation” against the U. S.
“After the prisoner is bled,
militiamen carry him in g a
stretcher to the execution
wall,” eye-witnesses reported
to Olba Benito's organization.
“Three militiamen and one of
ficer comprise the firing squad.
The piles of bodies are hauled
in trucks to mass graves pre
pared secretly on the outskirts
of Marianao, a Havanna su
burb.”
The 166 thus bled and exe
cuted list May 27 were “politi
cal” prisoners (a classification
which includes anyone who re
sists indoctrination in Com-
Seat belts not
used by victims
Research into 12 traffic ac
cidents in which 18 persons
were killed over the July 4th
holiday weekend in S. C. pro
duced unusual disclosures, the
State Highway Department
said today.
In the 12 accidents, not a
single victim was wearing a
seat belt. Moreover, in almost
all of the accidents there was
some violation of one of the
state’s traffic laws.
Heading the list of violations
was speeding. In six of the ac
cidents driving too fast was
listed by investigating patrol
men as a contributing factor.
Another violation which crop
ped up often was drinking.
Other driving faults included
failure to yield right-of-way
and driving on the wrong side
of the road.
Five of the accidents were
single-car crashes. In each one
of the five, patrolmen found
excessive speed to be a major
factor. Involved in the other
accidents were: (1) An auto
mobile and a train; (2) a bicy
cle and two automobiles; (3)
a motorcycle and two automo
biles: (4) three automobiles;
(5) an automobile and a pe
des train, and (6) two accidents
in which there were two auto
mobiles.
Summing up the holiday ac
cidents, Highway Department
spokesmen point out:
1. There were 18 deaths
and 11 injuries with none of
the victims using seatbelts.
2. There were five single
car accidents resulting in six
deaths and four injuries. All
of the vehicles were being driv
en too fast.
3. In each of three of the
accidents a driver had been
drinking.
• TITLE 1 FUNDS
(Continued from page 1)
the meeting adjourned until
clarification could be obtained.
During the discussion, Dr.
J. E. Grant pointed to the cry
ing need for nurses, and to the
fact that some local high
schools do not prepare students
to pass college entrance exam
inations. In many cases, he
said, those who would like to
study nursing or medicine do
not have the money, and in
the past have not been able to
attend schools which offer such
training. He suggested a basic
program at Newberry College
for nurses, with professional
training to be provided by the
local hospital staff.
During a discussion of train
ing for “blue collar workers,”
John F. Clarkson, member of
the State Development Board,
said that South Carolina was
receiving a federal grant of
$19,000,000 to provide training
and education at all levels.
There will be pilot schools and
centers, he said, one of which
will be located in the Mollohon
school building. The purpose of
this program is to upgrade
those already employed.
James D. Brown, superinten
dent of Education, and others
expressed the view that al
though training programs were
offered “people won’t take ad
vantage of what's offered.” He
felt if the group acted to set
up a program on such a small
amount of study and informa
tion, it would be acting too
hastily.
Joe Roberts, vice president
of State Bank and Trust Com
pany, believed that employees
were not very interested in
taking “upgrading” courses
because the differential in pay
for an employee with many
years service and a new em
ployee is so slight. The min
imum wage required by the
government he said, makes it
impossible to reward long time
workers for their faithful ser
vice. He felt they had no in
centive to take extra training.
After an hour and a half of
similar discussion, the meet
ing adjourned to reconvene at
the call of the chairman.

THE POLITICS OF SUR- ,
RENDER
No one really knows how |
many missiles and bombs the
Soviet possess—or when they
might unleash them upon us.
Yet, in the shade of this
ghastly threat, the U. S. Gov
ernment is preparing to dis
arm!
Why? And who is behind it?
Mr. M. Stanton Evans answer
ed these questions over the
Manion Forum program, June
26. Here is what he said:
“There are a group in Wash
ington whom I call the ‘dis
armament lobby.” These people
believe that the pressing nec
essity of the hour in a world
confronted by aggressive
Communist expansionism is to
get rid of the weapons which
have deterred the Communists
from doing even more than
they have.
“This group includes people
like Walt Rostow, who is an
advisor in the White House;
Dr. Jerome Wiesner, who has
been an advisor both to Pres
ident Kennedy and to Presid
ent Johnson; and many others.
“They believe that the Com
munists are mellowing, and
that the real reason they are
hostile toward us is that we
are hostile towards them.
These people are not mere
theoreticians sitting in ivory
towers—they are people who
are influencing, and, in effect,
controlling the direction of our
policy.”
Evans gave some startling
examples of how these liberal
dreamers have succeeded in
controlling our policies:
“There is an organization in
Washington called the Insti
tute for Defense Analysis
which publishes numbers of
studies. One is called ‘The
Phoenix Papers’; another
‘Study Fair.’ What they add
up to is a program for unilat
eral disarmament of the U. S.,
and, in the Phoenix Papers, for
extending aid, paid for by the
American taxpayers, to the
Communists.
“The Phoenix Papers pro
posed that we should assist
the Soviets. The principal ex-
the wheat deal with the Soviets
the wheat deal wit hthe Soviets
in 1963 and 1964—a deal that
was a direct subsidy from us
to the Soviet Union.
“The whole switch from
the manned bomber to the IC
BM and the hardened silo in
the ground is a part of Phoe
nix Papers-Study Fair Rostow
theory. The manned bombers
are supposedly ‘first strike
weapons,’ while the missiles
are ‘retaliatory’—that is the
theory. This is exactly the
program spelled out by Mr.
Rostow and it is exactly the
program Secretary of Defense
McNamara is following.”
But the clincher comes when
we discover how the Eggheads
proposed to market disarma
ment to the American people!
“The Phoenix Papers pro
pose that the best way of
‘selling’ disarmament to the
American public is first by
cutting taxes and creating a
big deficit. This creates a cry
for economy, and then the
defense people can come forth
and say ‘we will cut defense,
and that will be economy.' This
is precisely what McNamara
has been doing.”
Mr. Evans is preparing a
book in this subject, aptly ti
tled “The Politics of Surrend
er.” The book will be pub
lished within several months,
and you can get an exclusive
preview by ordering Broadcast
No. 612 from the Manion For

Mrs. Smith dies
in Durham
Word has been received in
Newberry of the death of Mrs.
Mary Ruth Scott Smith, 33,
at Duke University hospital.
Born in Charlotte in 1933,
she was the daughter of Hugh
L. Scott Jr. and Ruth McCary
Scott, former Newberrians.
Mrs. Smith and family moved
to Greenville, N. C. over three
years ago and were living
there at the time of her death.
Rewed widows
have SS benefits
The following are questions
that have recently been asked
at the Greenwood Social Se
curity office:
Q.—My daughter, who is
getting social security bene
fits, will be 18 years old in
two months. She is a full-time
student. Will my benefits as
her mother continue as long
as she remains in school. I am
55 years old, and a widow.
A.—Your social security
payments as a mother will
stop with the month before
your daughter becomes 18.
However, your daughter’s ben
efit payments can continue as
long as she is under 22 and
continues to be a full - time
student — and is unmarried.
When you reach 60, you should
check with the social security
office about the resumption of
your widow’s benefits.
Q.—I don’t know whether I
should file for reduced wid
ow’s benefits at 60 or to wait
until I am 62 and receive a
higher benefit rate. What
should I do ?
A.—This question is fre
quently asked by persons vis
iting the Greenwood office.
They are not told whether or
not they should file. However,
they ARE informed of their
rights and receive an explana
tion of how their benefits will
be reduced if they do decide
to file before 62.
Q.—My husband died two
years ago. Since I was 62 at
the time, I began receiving
widow’s social security pay
ments each month. If I should
remarry would my monthly
benefits stop?
Your marriage would not
stop the payments you receive
as a widow. However, the
amount you receive would be
reduced from 82 1-2 per cent
of your deceased husband’s
benefit rate to 60 per cent. If
the man you marry is entitled
to benefits on his own account,
you could be entitled to pay
ments as his wife, if the
amount is greater than your
new widow's benefits.
Perhaps you have a question
concerning social security. If
so, you are invited to visit the
Greenwood office. The people
there will be glad to help ans-

She is doing nicely and has
returned to her home on Cor
nelia street.
IN WASHINGTON
Mrs. Frances Warner left
Thursday for a two-week visit
with relatives and friends in
Washington, D. C.
munism). Other reports corrob
orated even by Fidel Castro’s
sister, who fled to America,
estimate such “political” pri
soners in the thousands.
Red Cuba and Red China are
inseparable parts in a mon
strous, evil force. We must not
accept them. We must destroy
such evil — or be engulfed in
it.
