President Eisenhower foisted as Chief Justice a man who has tried innovations as a substitute for knowledge of the law and I seldom hear a word against General Eisenhower; he meant well but was profound;y inex pert in practical administration of government. That is a charit able notion of mine. In South Carolina we have seen so much running about and useless talk that tiie people would be better served if the Legislators would take sick- leave and remain at home. Even so!

Does not our meddling in Vietnam teach us anything? Or n,list we continue to meddle until we ourselves may bite the di rt. If ,,, then we hold the lash over small nations; it isn’t principle that guides us, hut fear of paralyzing our noble purpose. If we are aftaid of Rii'sut let us close up shop and go home. What amazes me- is the un limited bluff and gad of the Russians. I repeat—little Israiet should tan 1 by her guns and hope for the noble nations to join her. Reading that President John son and the Russian Prime Minister discussed for five hmirs in a remote place—what? Yes, what did th“y discuss? They are trying to tell Israeli what’s what. Isn’t that real presumption ? You can’t imagine that Mr. Johnson will suggest that Russia relinquish her grip on Rumania, Poland, Checkslovia, German—and other territory, formerly proud nations. No, indeed! The two nations meet ing to dictate to Israel deserve: a real rebuff. Well now lot’s discuss smoothing of roal value.

In fact, 1 don’t think they actually know that the President would have fully controlled the activ ities of the bank if Congress had approved this proposed legislation.” (1 am referring to a proposal to create a Bank for electric Co-ops). “This summer we’ll see how such experimental hybrids per form under field conditions.

Another new sorghum pro duced .‘547 bushels in a row planting test, compared with Ido bushels from RS G10 under last summer’s 'ocal drought conditions. Not all of Dr. Pickett’s work m in Indiana, however. He has a nursery with over 4,000 sorg hum selections at the Univer sity of Puerto Rico There he increases select lines and par ents for additional crosses, and tests about half the world sorg hum collections that requires a 12—hour day to head out. These are the sorghum which do not produce seed in more temperate climates. In Northern Ohio last year, bird-resistant sorghum hyhirds, producing 172 bushels yields, came to the rescue of corn growers whose crops had been devastated by red wing black birds. Ottawa County lost 90 per cent of its corn to the in vaders. reports Dr. Merle Niehaus, Ohio State Univer sity agronomist. In neighboring Sandusky and Erie Counties, sorghum produced ID! bushels yields. Hyhirds which were not bird-resistant suffered a 100 per cent loss. Farmers grew 200 acres of these relatively new bird- resistant sorghum la>t year in Ohio as an alternate feed grain. Extension speciah-ts estimate .'5,000 acres this year. I wD ytars ago there was none. The sorghum crowing area is also moving north.

But while there lias been some criticism of our law makers’ long-windedness, it should be pointed out that they faced up to more “grass roots” issues than any other General Assembly in history. Nobody on the political scene expected reapportionment and liquor law revisions to be easy questions to resolve. Filibusters occurred, tempers flared at times; but when the emoke of the battle cleared, it was ob vious that several major vic tories had been won for the State of South Carolina.

Perhaps it was only press agentry that made it seem so very corny. The New Jersey town’s sudden fame (will it live in history as do Brenton Woods and Dumbar ton Oaks?) prompted news ar ticles and television documen taries comparable to the ama teur publicity campaign for a county fair. One almost expect ed hawkers to sell tickets so that the gawkers could view the inner sanctum inside the side show’s tent. Despite all the hoop-la. how ever, (did you know that the word “booze” very possibly originated in Glassboro?) the two performers at this summit were for real. The fact that each of them represents a na tion which is at war with tk other—and the thought tha they might, as petssimists wan daily, blow us all to bits—madi this "friendly meeting” quit* new.'Wurl hy. Unfortunately for thos« hoj eful souls who thought that Gla.'sboro might signal the end to the world’s tensions, nothin' whatsoever seems to have beet decided tht re. Both participant: admitted that they had failed t< agree on most of their disagree able points of agenda. The So viets and the Americans are, to put it mildly, on opposite .'ides of the fence in the Middle Fast They are still fighting tooth and nail in Viet Nam. The Soviets still support (so said Kosygin after the summit was over I Wat's of liberation — the traditional method of CommunDt conquest. If any body made any concessions, it was the U. S. A. —Kosygir barely had time to reach Ha vana before it was announcer, that we are considering giving away the Panama Canal. If nothing else, however, the summit vindicated the beliefs of those of us who hold that peace talks are not necessarily the way to achieve p- ace. This point is illustrated graphically by what was discussed at Glass boro about Viet Nam. Here, for example, is what Kosygin had to say about Viet Nam at a press conference fol- in mind that public office is a highly-pressurized occupation. Your Governor, of course, is extemely pleased that the leg islators saw fit to follow ail but one of our major recom mendations. An employees, classification system, which passed the House but bogged down in the Senate, will be re quested again next year, how ever. The Budget and Control, in the meantime, will be care fully studying the matter with an eye toward presenting the Assembly a blueprint next year. Other key measures which were enacted this session in clude: Election laws to provide for a central, computerized regis tration office, and longer reg istration hours in local pre cincts. Stiffer highway safety laws providing for compulsory ve hicle inspection and other pro visions dealing with drunk ur reckless driving. Compulsory school attendance legislation. Consolidation of several gov ernmental agencies and depart ments and creation of newly- structured bodies to conserve and promote our natural and historical assets. Lawmaking in 1967 was not easy in South Carolina; but taking all factors into consid eration, we believe this will be remembered as a highly pro ductive year. Cadet Larry Long at R. O. camp FT. BRAGG, N. C. Cadet Larry E. Long, 22, son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl E. Loni, Silverstreet, is attending Army Reserve Officers’ Traming Cor ps summer camp at Ft. Bragg, N. C., which began June 24. Long is a student at Clemson University. He is receiving six weeks of conditioning and other military subjects. L’pon successful completion uf summer camp and graduation from college, he will be comm issioned a second Lieutenant in the U. S. Army. He is a 1963 graduate of Newberry High Schoo.. His wife, Jane, also lives in Silverstreet. lowing the summit: "Despite the fact that the war in Viet Nam is being con demned by all progressive forces throughout the world, and by all the nations, and des pite the fact that all the na tions are decidedly in favor of in end to that war, and in fav- >r of the withdrawal, without any conditions, of U. S. forces from Viet Nam, the war is still going on, and the U. S. govern ment is continuing the aggres sion against the Vietnamese people. “And this hitter—the bitter struggle waged by the Vietna mese people—is not, will not end and will never end until the aggression leaves Vietnam soil.” In other words, there is no hope for any settlement in Viet Nam until we unconditionally withdraw! If this is the only sort of “agreement” to be reached by engaging in peace talks with the enemy, then deliver us from the conference table. Kosygin’s post-summit statement makes it clear once again that “peace” to the Communists means ces sation of opposition to Red aggression.
