The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, July 25, 1968—PAGE 7 » T » HOW CAN THEY REFUSE? Some Senators who have com plained loudly in the past about the outrageous decisions of the Supreme Court have been reluc tant to support the movement to oppose Justice Abe Fortas becoming Chief Justice of the United States. Now that the Senate has the rare opportunity to influence the composition of the court, how can they refuse? FUNDAMENTAL MATTER This is a matter which will afifect the lives of all Ameri cans in a most fundamental way. If this body confirms the nomination , of Fortas to be Chief Justice, it will insure the continuation of the Supreme Court as a radical influence on the American political scene for the next 20 to 30 years. Fortas’ positions since he has been on the court have paral leled those of Chief Justice Earl Warren in case after case. These decisions have created revolu tionary changes in the Ameri can way of life. Under our con stitutional form of government, the American people have no opportunity to repudiate indi vidual Justices at the ballot box. ,A number of Senators, includ ing a majority of Republicans, announced their intention to block this nomination, by ex tended debate, if necessary. If the Senate refuses to confirm Fortas’ nomination, the next President, elected in November, can choose the Chief Justice after he takes office. Further more, there is a strong possi bility that a new President would not nominate these two close friends and cronies of Lyndon Johnson, Abe Fortas and Homer Thomberry. ms DECISIONS The record of Justice Fortas on the court makes it plain that as Chief Justice he would follow in Warren’s footsteps: He voted to throw out the requirement that Communist Party members must register with the Government. He voted to allow admitted Communists to work in defense plants. He voted to strike down a loyalty oath which would have kept Communists from teach ing in public schools. He voted to overturn the conviction of demonstrators who conducted a sit-in in a pub lic library. He cast the important fifth vote in the 5 to 4 Miranda de cision which virtually barred the use of confessions in crimi nal cases. He voted to allow persons who do not believe in the death penalty to sit on Juries in cases THURSDAY, JULY 25 Mike Douglas, 4:30 p.m. Actress Barbara Perkins is oo-hostess for the week. Color.

HEW policies berated by Bessinger With the statement that the present federal school zone or der “sounds thQ death knell for Southern moderates,” Maurice 'Bessinger decried the latest school order by the De partment of Health, Education and Welfare. “Many, many South Carolina school children will be placed in formerly all- Negro schools where the white pupils will now be in the min ority, ” Bessinger said. “Many more will have to attend ‘rac ially balanced’ schools that will be 20, 30 and 40 percent black.” He urged all South Carolin ians to close ranks behind Geo. Wallace in his run for the Presidency. Bessinger said that “George Wallace has promised to put a stop to this sort of thing, and his record speaks for itself.” He also called on South Car olinians to join the Independ ent Party, which he said is the only party in the State that has the will to fight for what is right.” The full text of his speech follows: “This past Saturday at '7:00 a.m. my telephone rang. It was a woman who lives here in Columbia. Although she is not a member of the Independ ent party, she felt she had to talk with me about a problem. As she tried to tell me about it, she broke down and cried. It seems her two little daugh ters, nine and ten years old, will this fall attend a school that will be about 75 percent Negro. Instead of going to their old school just across the street, they will have to walk two miles through a Negro slum to attend the school in Roosevelt Village. “We can all agree that this woman has a problem. And literally thousands of Colum bians this fall will have the same or a very similar prob lem—though not everyone has yet realized this. Across the State, this situation will be re peated many times over. Un der the new integration plan laid down by the federal gov ernment, many, many South Carolina school children will be placed in formerly all-Negro schools, where the white pu pils will now be in the min ority. Many, many more will have to attend “racially bal anced” schools that will be 20, 30, or even 40 percent black. This year it will strike in the grammar schools; next year this scheme is planned for the high schools too. “Gentlemen, I say that this is an outrage! Here, in what used to be called the land of the free and the home of the brave, we see the federal gov ernment using our own tax money to ram this monstrosity down the people’s throats. And worse yet, we have apparently sunk so low that this outrage involving capital crimes. He voted to interpret an 1866 statute as requiring so-called “open housing” in the sale and rental of private property. This great Republic is going through a trying and difficult period. The crime rate con tinues to climb. Riots and other public disorders are rapidly be coming commonplace. Politi cal protests have assumed ex treme and dangerous propor tions. In encouraging criminals and disruptive elements in our society, the court is a signifi cant factor in the ever-increas ing chaos which confronts our Nation. If the Senate refuses to con firm the nomination of Fortas to be Chief Justice, it will be a turning point in modem Amer ican history. can be accepted without a word of protest from our elect ed leaders. “What has that great gov ernor Robert McNair had to say about this wanton des truction of our public school system? Nothing, nothing at all. He owes his office to the Negro bloc vote, and he has labored long and hard to court the favor of the present Washington administration. He has sold out, and we can ex pect no leadership from him. “And what of the Republi can leaders, Harry Dent a nd the rest of them? They can talk for hours about “fiscal responsibility” and govern ment spending. But when our children’s birthright is threat ened, they are quiet as mice. The truth is, many of their supporters are wealthy men. They can protect themselves and their families from the evil effects of this scheme. Many also pride themselves on being “moderates” and are more interested in maintain ing their “image” with Mr. Nixon and other national lead ers, than in protecting the in terests of the people of South Carolina. We can expect no leadership from the Republi can party either. “Gentlemen, this assault on our children’s future, this wan ton attack on our public school system, rings a death knell for so-called “Southern mod erates.” If you go back to ’02 and ’63 and 64, you remember that these leaders told us that if we would only be “moder ate” and accept a few fsfegroes here and there, everything would be all right. But now we are faced with total mixing of the races. The “moderates” lulled the people with false promises, and now the people are having to pay. “This action by the federal government shows that the integrators cannot be appeas ed. The “Southeren moderates” approach is dead. From now on, our people divided into two camps. One the one hand, there are those who are willing to apologize for, and justify and promote this sort of thing, at the expense of our children’s future and our racial heritage. “On the other hand, there are those of us who are de termined to preserve the rights and liberties of our peo ple, and uphold the future cf our race. We believe that the great majority of the people will be victorious, despite the present political leaders. “At this point, the question is, what can be done? The answer is—a great deal. The first thing is to turn the pres ent politicians out of their ill- gotten offices^ We need a complete house-cleaning at the state, local and national levels. First of all, we need to elect George Wallace President. He has promised, as President, to put a stop to this sort of out rage, and his record speaks for itself. “And second, I call on every South Carolinian who is sick of sorry politics, to join with us in the South Carolina In dependent Party. We are the only party in the state that has the will to fight for what is right. We are building a movement that will turn this state around. NOTICE NOTICE is hereby giv en that the undersigned intends to apply for a re tail liquor license for a Liquor Store to be located on the Northwest side of the Winnsboro Road ad jacent to Pike Circle in the City of Newberry.

Koon The County Agents Column Swine Needs Green Foliage Brood sows and young pigs need green forage. A planned rotation of pastures should be a part of every brood sow op eration. Pastures provide a n economical feed for sows and nursing pigs while providing a more balanced ration where in combination with other feeds. Pastures provide low- cost protein, vitamins and min erals while increasing the milk flow of nursing sows. When sows are provided with lush forages, management problems are reduced. In planning your forage sys tem, allow one-half acre of annual forage for each brood sow and litter. About one acre will be needed for every five sows in gestation. Locate per manent pastures so sow can be rotated when needed with a minimum of effort. Annual grazing should be provided for periods when permanent pas tures growth is low. August and September are ihe months to seed Ladine clover. Seed at the rate of 5 pounds per acre and apply 400 700 pounds of 0-14-14 fertiliz er. The optimum uH for Ladi- no clover is 6.5 and a soil test will show the needed amount of lime. Feeder Pig Sale Feeder pigs have a ready market in South Carolina. The Saluda area Graded Feeder Pig Sale reported a total of 575 pigs sold on June 3. Forty four percent graded one and two’s with the remainder grad ing S’s, medium and common. The total value of the 575 feed ers sold amounted to $9,363.52 with an average price of $27.57 per pound. It is interesting to note that the one and two’s sold for an average of $29.01 per pound while the commons sold for only $25.58. Selection of breeding stock, nutrition, and management will increase the total number of pigs weaned. It will also increase profits for the producer. There have been rapid changes in the swine business over the past few years. It is important that each producer keep pace with feeds, management and market demands. Oiling Eggs Lightweight mineral oil, which is colorless, odorless and tasteless is used to oil eggs. This oil protects the egg from bacteria that can enter the egg’s pores. The egg producers in Newberry may find a new type on the market in the lear future. Researchers are developing a hen that will oil the eggs before it is laid. Hazardous Jobs On The Farm The U. S.
