The national news media s<a in
(letennimai not to give you any
information about (lorge Wal
lace’s running mate, (lenetal
Curtis LeMay, except for the
fact that he is the "bombing
general.” One national TV com
mentator even declined to call
him by the rank he so bravely
won in defense of America, and
referred to him merely as "Curt
LeMay.”
Besides the fact that he or
ganized the bombing raids
which were largely responsible
for the defeat of Oermany dur
ing World War II and the fact
that on ORDKR FROM WASH-
IXOTON. he dropped the at-
- mic bomb to end the war with
Japan i both actions to his
credit l (ieneral LeMay has al
ways been an intelligent, high
ly regarded individual.
Born in Ohio, he earned the
Bachelor of Civil engineering
degree from Ohio State Cniver-
sity. He holds honorary degrees
from seven colleges or univer-
-itics.
Lb organized the bombing of
Furope and was on the front
line'-', mt an arm chair general
giving order- from 'he rear. He
nganized the a r operations
for- the famous Berlin Airlift.
In HM* bo- assumed command
of "SAC” the Strategic Air
Command and kept this coun-
trv's air defense in top notch
shape throughout the years
following World War II There
was never a time that SAC bom
bers were not in the air, ready
to defend thi- rountr\ against
attack. In lithl, he was appoint
ed Chief of Staff of the Cnited
States Air Force, a position
from which he retired in Idfif).
He has been awarded many
medals of honor for service t >
his country
The voters have a right to
know that here is a man who
will stand for America first -
hut they’re not going to get
that '■ , )r d from the left-wing

Amendment is
defended by
committee
For the information of the
citizens of Newberry County,
the members of the Newberry
County Development Board Ed
ucation Committee have issued
a statement concerning Local
Constitutional Amendment 8.
The statement, in part:
“ We are suprised to learn
that certain people are spread
ing misleading statements
throughout Newberry County
concerning amendment eight.
‘‘It puzzles us, to say the
least, that some are spreading
rumors about the amendment
and its intention.
“We want to take these ru
mors one by one and answer
them to the fullest of our abil
ity. In this way we hope to
stop these rumors.
“The public support for a-
mendment eight has grown rap
idly and we appreciate the
thousands of people who are in
favor of this amendment.
“Therefore, we will not sit
idly by and allow any incorrect
information to endanger the
best interests of all our people
in Newberry County.”
The committee then listed a
number of what it calls “ru
mors”, with rebuttal for each
point. These an* outlined in an
advertisement which appears
elsewhere in this issue.
