A thing abandoned and alone:
The deuiPs 1Dork for idle hands
But by such strength no fields are ntotDn
This implement OF honest toll

Its shafts are draped Nth briered rtnes
And their green strength seems absolnts.

Wool and Reciprocity

If the Senate accepts the House version
of the wool support bill, President Truman
will have good reason to resort to veto.
As originally passed by the Senate, the
measure though designed to keep prices
up-could be defended as an expedient to
save the Nations sheep raisers from serious
losses But the House has attached to it
what amounts to tariff boosting amend
ment-an action that has stynied progress
at the Geneva Trade Conference and cast
grave doubt on the whole American-led
effort to promote freer world commerce as
one of the pillars of peace.
The situation has come to head largely
as result of the huge stockpile of wool
a critical war material-built up in this
country since 1943. 1t was built up through
purchases by the Commodity Credit Cor
poration at about AZ cents pound. If
this were now unloaded on the market
without measures protecting sheep raisers,
the sheep raisers would suffer severely
from price nosedive. Accordingly, under
the Senate bill, the Department of Agri-
culture would continue to support the AZ
cent level for domestic wool, and the CCC
would be authorized to sell the stockpile
at figure competitive with foreign raised
wool. Carrying the protection to an
extreme, however, the House has added to
this provision that would have the effect
of obliging the President to raise the tariff
on the commodity.
Since our domestic production has never
been enough to meet our needs, we have
been importing foreign wool-particularly
in recent years-in very large quantities.
At present, although the tariff on it is "a
cents pound, it sells in the United States
at approximately 38 cents a pound 1t
represents IS per cent of Australia's duti-
able exports to us, and it figures largely
in our trade with New Zealand and South
Africa as well. To place an even higher
tariff on it now would be to strike a hard
economic blow to these important members
of the British Commonwealth at time
when the Commonwealth is in need of
dollars to pay for imports from u.s. More
over, according to the State Department,
the House bill would run counter to our
existing agreements with other countries,
and reports from Geneva make clear
that its approval could wreck current
efforts to promote world peace by promot-
ing reciprocal trade. Certainly, should the
measure become effective governments
abroad would be justified in fearing it as
the forerunner of similar measures to give
high protection to numerous other Amer
ican commodities. Against such fear, little
progress could be expected toward mutual
lowering of tariff barriers in general
The United States has taken the initia-
tive in driving for a freer flow of inter-
national commerce to create economic
conditions essential to sound peace But
now, as Undersecretary of State Clayton
has warned, the House wool-support bill
would raise new trade barriers making
mockery of our leadership in this respect.
The Senate ought not to concur. If it
does, a presidential veto will be in order.
We can hardly expect the rest of the world
to pay serious attention to our reciprocity
views If we violate them even as we preach
them

The Chicago ordinance was
the first FEP law TO be passed
by any city in the nation. Il has
never been tested in a court of
law. Only one prosecution un-
der the ordinance has taken
place. and that case ended when
the offending employer. the
Pepso dent Coz voluntarily
agreed to hire the Negro woman
against whom it had discrim-
mated.
Local FEP ordinances would be
necessary even if a federal fair
employment practices act were
passed, the report pointed out, be-
cause federal laws can only cover
firms which engage in interstate
commerce.
UNDER .CHICAGo'S present
ordinance, ''the burden of making

court from the Recorders
court conviction and sentence.
The case allegedly was ag-
gravated by the fact that Buie
had married into the Lewis
family several years ago, and
subsequently quarreled with his
father-in-law and killed him
That Buie still bore i'll feeling
toward the Lewis family was
evidenced by the fact that the
first thing he did after getting
out of Jail where he served sew
en- years for the Staying was to
divorce his wife, Solicitor Cliff
ton Moore argued to the jury
The case was tried under the
old trespass law which descend
ed to the statute books from the
English law of 1000 years ago,
Solicitor Moore explained. Un-
der this law mans home is
regarded to be his castle, where
he and his family have a right
to live in peace undisturbed by
any visitor who comes in a
menacing manner.
French Lewis, Jr., his two
sisters, Lillian and Christabelle
Lewis, Deputy R. B. King, Off
Ger Roy Duncan, state highway
patrolman, and Francis Inder-
saney, waitress at a Carolina
Beach road drive-in, testified
against Buie.
Evidence for the state indi-
Gated Buie came to the Lewis
home after dark, calling for
Mrs. Lewis by her given
name, Laura. One of the Lewis
girls heard the man calling and
became alarmed and notified
her brother. French Lewis went
to the door and ordered the man
to leave.
The man stepped out into the
uSllt, cllCll dllQ LIS S1StC1 tCS-
titled, and they recognized him
as Alex Buie. He said, "We'1
see about that" and stepped be-
hind tree with his rifle in his
hand, they said.
Buie's mother and brother,
Bonnie, testified as alibi wit
nesses for Buie, claiming he
was home all evening on the
night in question. Buie admitted
he had been drinking and said
his brother was to bring some
thing to drink home and they
were going to "sing songs"
The state contended the alibi
was not creditable, particularly
because Bonnie allegedly got so
drunk on the way out with the
liquor that he fell off his bicycle
into the ditch and had to be
assisted the last mile of the
way. Bonnie's only visible reac-
ton to hearing his brother sem
fenced was to ask W. L. Farm
