PAGE TWO THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1966 LOOKING AHEAD WRONG TARGET Inflation, which has been “heating” up steadily for more than a year, has the politico- economists in Washington “running around in all direc tions” for a solution. There is a great deal of talk now of an increase in taxes, but politi cal expediency dictates t h a f any tax boost must come after, never just before, elections, President Johnson reportedly has made up his mind to ask the new Congress for an “anti-inflation” tax hike on “profits” to become effective early in 19t>7. But obviously neither the President nor any of his eco nomic “advisors” is quite sure how a tax can be applied that will stop inflation. I fit comes, a tax hike would represent just another of many sehomes al- •eady tried by those politico- economists who advocate gov ernment control of the econ- imy. It seems evident to most people watching the soaring cost of living that one of the real causes for inflation at the oresent time is the fact that wages have been increased con siderably faster tha nproduc- Crab Casserole For Entertaining si»** > ,,*!r '' * ':J£ ■K .

In addition, three varieties of cheese contribute their good flavor. Company Crab Casserole may be prepared m advance and refrigerated until time to bake and serve. Since canned Alaska King crab is completely tendonless it is ready to use as it comes from the can. Simply slice it into bite-size pieces to spread over the macaroni-cheese layer. To serve, mark the casserole into squares with a sharp krufc and transfer with a broad spatula to dinner plates.

SENATOR HURMOND Reports PEOPLE RE-ORGANIZATION FOR THE FUTURE CONGRESS LAST studied its own operation and procedures in 1945-46, and as a result, passed the Legislative Reor ganization Act of 1946. As one indication of the changes wrought in the succeeding 20 years, one provision of the 1946 Act states that Congress will adjourn no later than the last day of July, except in time of war or in national emergency. IN RECENT YEARS, It has not been unusual for Congress to be in session In October, as is the case this year. It Is pain fully apparent that unless cor rective measures are taken, Congress will soon remain in session year round and still not complete its work. THE LONGER each congres sional session lasts, the greater is the potential for doing mis chief. This is particularly true when the Congress is so sub servient to the Executive Branch of the Government, and largely controlled by the dic tates of the President. EVEN MORE IMPORTANT than the length of the congres sional session is the thorough ness and effectiveness with which the business of Congress is conducted. The growth of the country and the increasing com plexity of the issues lengthen the time required for congres sional consideration of its busi ness. The issues and proposals of the future promise to be even more complex and time-con suming. The Congress must gear itself to make a more ef ficient use of its available time and fesources. THE FUNCTIONS of the Congress fall mainly into two categories: first, to make the laws, or legislate, and secondly, to control the purse strings, or appropriate. Under present pro cedures, both of these functions are carried out simultaneously. As a consequence, an authoriza tion bill for a program may not be passed until after the ap is enacted, necessi- ital or add!- bin. THE BOOKKEEPING pro cedure of the Government is sat up on a fiscal year basis, running from July 1 to June 30, while Congress meets on a cal endar year basis. As a rasul* many of the major appropria tion bills are not enacted by Congress until well after the beginning of the fiscal year for which the appropriation is in tended. To finance interim oper ations, Congress usually adopts a “continuing resolution,” which permits spending by the par ticular agency at the level auth orized for the previous fiscal year. AMID ALL the confusion of authorizing and appropriating at the same time, many items, all of which deserve the utmost study and thought, receive only cursory attention. THE SOLUTION to this in efficiency lies in better budget ing of time and reorganizing to meet the ever-increasing de mands upon Congress. The two sessions in each Congress should be divided on the basis of the category of work to be per formed during each. The first session of each congressional term should he devoted to sub stantive or authorizing legisla tion The second session should he devoted entirely to the ap propriation process. To conform with this change, the Govern ment’s accounting procedure should be changed from a fiscal 1 to a calendar vear basis. SUCH A DIVISION would be beneficial In several respects. First, It would allow each mem ber of Congress to concentrate his time,, attention, and efforts. Second, it would allow time for all new authorization legisla tion to be enacted before the appropriation process even be gan. This would make It possi ble to compote the exact amount of funds required in advance, so that proposed ex penditures could be balanced against anticipated revenues to achieve a balanced budget. Third, It would shorten the length of sessions. MOST IMPORTANTLY, how ever, such a reorganization should strengthen the ability of Congress to re-establish its in dependence from the Executive Branch of the Government, and to once again become a servant of the people as the drafters of the Constitution intended. ! tivity has been increasing. This will, of course, ultimately ■ create “cost push” inflation wherever it happens for any length of time—and it has been happening right along in 1965- 1966 U.S.A. “Guidelines” Broken It appears that whenever politics enter into economic management (in Government) “cost push” inflation is diffi- ; cult to halt. The President’s Iso-called wage hike “guide 1 lines” were smashed to smith ereens by union labor contract | settlements arranged by Admin istration leaders themselves — Secretary of Labor Wirtz, and in at least one settlement, by the President. So the discussions in Wash ington now indicate union- propelled wage increases be yond the “guidelines” and the attendant “cost push” inflation will be ignored, and that tax ation on business profits will be the target. It is the wrong target. The theory is that pro fits are fairly good right now and can be squeezed, and that it is “always good politics to make profits the “whipping boy” in the eyes of the public. But the public has a vital stake—their stable economic welfare and the long-range health of our free-enterprise, profit-motive business system that provides the wealth out of which all of us live. Profit System is Basic The strength and future growth of our nation depends upon the good health of our business system. Americans generally now understand the fact that more than 1,000,000 young people each year join the job-seekers. This means that a million new jobs must be created each year. We know that it costs on the average of $20,000 to create each new production job—in plant, tools and inventory. It costs nearly $50,000 in the oil industry, and even more in some. The $20,000 average means that $20 billion in nec essary to make jobs for the new crop of workers each year. Rut that’ not the whole story. There are at least another million each year who are temporarily thrown out of work—by small industries go ing out of business and by the greater mechanization through out the whole of American in dustry. Another $20 billion must be invested in production, marketing and service facili ties to absorb these jobless. Still another $20 billion is ex pended in the continuing con test by American job-makers to keep ahead of competition, with research, new machine tools, etc., all of which helps the consuming public. That’s a to tal of 60 billion of new money which must be invested by bu siness and industry each year —to keep the production sys tem healthy and the job oppor tunities expanding. Progress Depends on Profits Where does this enormous amount of investment money come from? Of course it must come from profits. In the end it can come from no other ! primary source. The most profitable industries are the most valuable to the nation as a whole. They have a greater financial margin with which to expand and make new jobs, to improve their research and to bring out new products to make living better. A.T.&T. can an nounce an expansion program costing a billion dollars, which mean another 50,000 new jobs. General Motors has created hundreds of thousands of jobs out of profits. But to do this their profit margin must be good. Companies with skimpy profits do not expand. The American public has a personal interest in keeping Government, at all levels, from stifling expansion by ov ertaxing profits. In our Am erican economy profits repre sent the golden eggs laid by our industrial goose. It is in our self-interest not to permit business profits to become the target for Government “in flation managers” who have made a mess of managing Government finances!

Praise helps him. So does fine art. Reproduction of famous paintings can be bought for little. Even a short visit to a museum helps a child grow creatively.

Amberson, M.D. Cancer Nearly 300,000 people will die of cancer this year. Many of these deaths will be needless for, though the cause of cancer re mains largely a mystery, the disease itself is often curable. In fact, there are an esti mated 1,400,- 000 people alive in the United States today who once had cancer and who now are ;ured! Cancer is characterized by the abnormal growth and spread of cells. It begins when a cell nu cleus mysteriously changes. This altered cell then multiplies rap idly, until eventually the neigh boring normal cells are choked and starved by the abnormal ones. The process can be checked, however, by surgery, x-ray, and radioactive substances. And re cent discoveries in biochemical research have led to new treat ments with drugs, chemicals and hormones which have already shown encouraging results. At the beginning of the dis ease, the altered cells remain “localized” and when it is discov ered in this stage cancer is al most always curable. But even if it escapes detection and contin ues to the next stage—the inva sion of other tissues—it still can be treated successfully. Obviously, therefore, it is es sential to stop cancer in its earli est stages. Be on guard for the seven danger signals: unusual bleeding or discharge; a lump or thickening in any part of the body; a sore that doesn’t heal; change in bowel or bladder hab its; hoarseness or cough; indi gestion or difficulty in swallow ing ; change in color or size of a wart or mole. Any of these condi tions may be a sign of cancer. If any one of these danger sig nals lasts longer than two weeks, see your family doctor. Better yet, get in the habit now of having a complete medical checkup at least once a year. * * * If you wish FREE copies of re cent Our Health Columns you may have missed, write to Dr. J. M.

He rontinues to shift his positions on Communism and the Viet Nam war.” “On the one hand he tells us that Communism is the great est threat to America, but then failed to vote recently on an Amendment which would restrict sale or financing of j goods and materials to coun tries dealing with the Commun ists,” Grisso said. “My opponent tells us he sup ported the American war ef fort in Viet Nam on the one hand and then castigates those who urge an all-out push for victory as being shortsighted,” he added. “My opponent’s missing this vote, on top of missing the vote on the socialistic rent subsidy bill and missing the vote on the recent House amendment to curtail Education Commissioner Howe’s school powers, clearly shows that we are entitled to better representation in Wash ington,” Grisso continued. “Dorn’s ambigious stands and efforts in relation to the Communist menace are any thing but reassuring in a time like this,” he said. “I favor an all-out effort im mediately to win the war and bring our boys home and favor an end to the drifting of the war which apparently suits LBJ and my opponent.” Grisso concluded.
