<. w V.J'T t THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1966 THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE THREE WHAT’S “NEWS”? IT DE PENDS ON WHO YOU ARE i The housewife complains to her Congressman about rising food prices; business and labor Are overstepping what the •Government calls “guidelines.” The President’s daughter gets married. Civil rights marches raise the indignation of those marched upon. And a national ■debate about Federal regulat ing for firearms follows a mass .sniper shooting in Texas. These are what you read a- bout in the papers. They are what is known as the “domes tic” situation. But while these items fill the front pages, the war goes on in Viet Nam. And those who have sons and brothers fight ing in the far-off jungles and mountains of Southeast Asia can’t seem to get very upset about the rising price of eggs ■or the details of what Luci’s bridesmaids wore. Even civil unrest in one’s neighborhood is secondary to the fact that there is an empty room in ■one’s house—a room belonging to a boy in Viet Nam. And when his letters arrive, all else fades into the back ground. Like this letter, re ceived shortly after our first hombing raids against Hanoi: “I am really happy that we have finally bombed Hanoi. I wish we hadn’t waited so long, because now Ho has committ ed himself to the extent that Re won’t quit as readily as he would have a year or two ago. I’m afraid that now victory can be attained only by an all cut bombing attack on every .kind of supply storage area in Hanoi and Haiphong. This action must be coupled with a stern and sincere warning to Red China that if she inter feres with more tnoop anjd supply support, we will bomb her nuclear testing centers. Such action would set China back at least 10 years. “We can no longer bluff and beg. Now we have committed curselves to a decisive victory which will include North Viet Nam’s quitting the war. This •victory will come only when fhey are convinced that we are .determined to win. “If they are convinced that we are so determined, they will be completely demoralized. Rut if we should let up in our bombing attacks to give them a chance to negotiate, we will •only strengthen their belief that they can win — and they will continue to fight until they are all dead (which is unlikely to happen for a long time) or until we are bank rupt (which could be very soon).” After you read a letter like that, you look at the papers. Somewhere after What People Are Talking About will be the information that an “expert” has prerdicted that the Com munists are interested in a truce. An editorial will inform SPECTATOR Is there a place of a kicker? What is a kicker? He is one who sometimes expresses his disagreement; he may be a kicker in the home; or in the office; or in the street. Some times a kicker is very useful; sometimes—in Congress for ex ample—he is worth his weight in gold. Kickers,' you know, made this nation; they rebelled ag ainst the tea tax—and such small things as that. Suppose the kicker is basing his attitude on the Constitu tion, or the long-standing usage or custom. I am not at this moment a kicker, but I rise to a point of order, let us say. Can the President fix wages and prices? Is there any law, valid, constitutional law, which authorizes or empowers the President to set or fix prices? We have recently read that the President is. displeased be cause of the increase in the price of steel. Ane President so terrified i the steel mills at few years ago that they reduced prices. Well has the . President the lawful right to fix prices? Has he any authority: to fix wages? We hear quite a bit about the guide-line set by the President but, what lawful right has he to fix wages or*, ptfees ? The President eventually bows to the wage leaders but does not usually yield to the wage-earners. What is the dif ference?-It might be suspected that the difference is political, that is that a million men who are wage earners will show their resentment at the polls. But the million stockholders, the real owners of our enter prises are not as well and mil- itantly organized as are the workers. When you brush all the bom bast to one side you will find the main concern is votes—all politics. CHANGE the “WEAR” look to “CARE” look with a low-cost home improve ment loan from us!

Abrams Louis C. Floyd Thomas H. Pope R. Aubrey Harley “A compromise ban on housing discrimination surviv ed a crucial House floor test. By a one-vote margin, 180 to 179 the House tentatively approved the Administration-, backed plan of Rep. Mathias (R.,Md.) providing an exemp tion from the ban for home owners and for sales agents acting at the owner’s instruc tions. This retreat from the all-inclusive bias -prohibition first proposed by. President Johnson was deemed essential by Administration forces to get the legislation through the House. Even with .the compromise, the ‘fair-housing’ section of the civil rights measure is still vulnerable to further House floor attack. Pending before the House, when it goes back to work today, is a motion by Rep. Moore (R.,W.Va.) to scuttle the section entirely. House Democratic leaders think they’ve got the votes to defeat the Moore motion, but after yesterday’s close shave, they aren’t breathing easily.- Further down the road, more over, the compromise plan must survive a roll-call vote on which some lawmakers who supported it on • yesterday’s non-roll call tally could switch to the oppo sition. Administraton strategists, however, viewed yesterday’s non-roll-call vote as their single toughest hurdle. Their reasoning is that Southern Democrats and conservative Republicans ,who oppose th e compromise in hopes of keep ing the bill too strong to pass, will be obliged to vote for the Mathias softener when their names are recorded. ‘Most Southerners can’t afford to go on record for strengthening the bill, even if it is tactically shrewd for them to try and makt it stronger,’ calculates one Administration lieutenant. About a dozen ardent liberal Democrats joined the party’s conservative Southern wing and a big majority of House Rep ublicans in resisting the com promise. The Democratic lib erals and a goodly number of the Republicans who fought Mr. Mathias yesterday are also housing provision in its final housing provision in ts fnal form. Before adopting the Mathias plan, the House first rejected a move by Rep. MacGregor (R. Minn.), tobroaden the prohibi tion on housing bias by bring ing homeowners under its cov erage. Also rejected was an amendment by Rep. McClory (R., lil.) that would give state fair housing laws more time to work before the Federal ban could be enforced. Numerous further attempts to modify the measure are likely today, assuming Mr. Moore’s pending move to kill it is defeated. The thrashing over this, the most embattled section of the Johnson Admin istration’s six-part civil rights bill, is likely to delay final House pasage of the legisla tive package until Friday at the earliest.” One vote! Read that again. Recently Spectator lifted from some source an article on one vote as the decisive factor. Several very eminent citizens wrote me about that including an outstanding editor. So you see! Suppose you were pitching a game of ball and the score was two to two, with two men out and three men on base, and this was the last out in the ninth inning. If the pitcher can throw just the right ball for a pop up to the pitcher or short stop—well, well. But if he throws the wrong ball and it sails over the centerfield fence! Now, now. A real Cala- midad, as my Spanish friends would say. Que calamidad! What a calamity! Now the dif ference may be one ball! ■y Z . ■ ill e3v: : : ; mmmM M: M wm JfP ■ j * • *r s t sr?. % 7. v', . . »s ■« #■ 1 HELP WANTED Applications for the position of Po licemen and School Guards are now being accepted at the Newberry Po lice Department.

We may not understand the military phases of the so-called war in Viet Nam. Three hund red thousand American soldiers along with hundreds of planes and the greatest navy in the world—where are we? You don’t grasp all this, do you? Well, I don’t. Another thing: we and other nations are all agog for fear that we may have to revalue our money. Well, that is ser ious. Even the possibility is serious. When I left Peru I lost en ough to buy several cars be cause of Peruvian money fall ing in value. We could wipe out several billions we give away every year. That would be quite an one lot $1500. appreciable help. Of course some other nations would pro test. But our great problem should be to save America. We need not sink with Britain; we ought to save America. If we save America that would help save the world. But if Amer ica deflates her money all the world will suffer. Some bankers and some pol iticians talk about the financial solvency as though it were such an abstruse problem that no one but a genius of finance can avert a calamity.

An article will state that our purpose in Viet Nam is not to win a military war, but to prick the enemy with pins so he’ll wan to come to the con ference table.

We’d wager these Americans would be overwhelmingly in favor of a simply-stated plan: Let’s win the war, and bring' the boys home. cannot throw money away m every direction and have our national treasury in wholesome condition. If we carry out much of our national program we shall be playing ducks and drakes with the welfare of our country. That our condition is not wholesome is easily seen. We are playing Santa Claus to much of the world and at grave danger to our condition. We are like a fond old grandpa who distributes all his income and much of his capital so that all his sons, grandsons, daugh ters, cousins, and in-laws shall have new cars every year and expensive vacations in sumpt uous hotels.
