and the techniques Of the fifth
column"
These necessary internal security
units" would be trained and
equipped with Federal assistance
and would consist primarily OF de-
ferred, average and limited service
personnel in units similar to mill
tary police battalions.
At present National Guard units
receive Federal pay and equipment
when they attain a degree OF train
ing and proficiency necessary to be
recognized" but they do not be-
come available to the Army until
Congress formally declares a ma
tional emergency. In peacetime
they are directly under the control
of State Governors, and in the case
of the District under the President.
Forrestal Nom Commital.
There have been statements by
National Guard leaders that any
change in this setup would provoke
another States rights battle in
Congress.
AT a news conference, Mr.. For
restal side-stepped any direct COM
mitment on what he will do with
the report of his committee.
He said he wants more time to
come to my own conclusions" but
that he believes it would serve a
useful purpose" to bring the report
before the public.
Il have read it with the greatest
of interest and approve its obJec-
tives," he said. However, I do moi
regard it as pattern for action by
myself"
Confessional Act Proposed.
At present the National Guard Il
organized under the militia clause
of the Constitution, which reserve:
to the States the appointment o.
officers and the authority of train
ing according to discipline pre-
scribed by Congress. Guardsmer
have maintained that any change
in the Guard therefore would have
to come about by constitutions
amendment.
The committee would get around
this barrier by establishing the Ma
tional Guard, as well as all othel
reserves, under the CONSTITUTIONS
Army clause, which states that Con-
gress has the power to raise ane
support armies. This could be done
by congressional act.
According to the report, both the
Guard and the Army's Organized
Reserve Corps would become 1.-THE
National Guard Of the United
States" Similarly, the Air National
Guard and the Air Reserve would
be incorporated under the name OF
THE United States Air Force Re-
serve"
The six-member committee, which
was unanimous in its report. also
stated that the National Guard
Army organized reserves, Marine
Corps reserve units, Air National
Guard and Air Force reserves ARE
not now capable of participating eff
fectively in major combat operations
on M-Day."
Powerful Armament Cited.
1t added that the National Guard
exceeds the peacetime military re-
quirements of the States and with its
combat organization and powerful!

down riots and other civil uprisings.
Similarly, it said the Air National
Guard, with its fast fighters, is I'M
suitable for use by the States.
The committee also recommended
that the proposed reserve forces be
integrated completely with the regu-
lar establishments and that the
Army of the United States, of which
most wartime officers were members,
and the Air Force of the United
States be abolished Each reserve
force would be divided into active
and retired categories, and the &C
tive reserves. would be in four groups

voted in large numbers for the first
time in 70 years. The vote was
opened to Negroes by a Federal
Court order and their leaders esti-
mated about 10000 voted. The cleo
ton was quiet and no racial friction
was reported.
One of two members of Congress
with opposition swept to an easy
victory, but the other trailed as
outlying precincts were Tailed. The
Bird district Congressional contest
headed for runoff primary two
weeks hence as four men battled
for the post vacated by young

ond to Senator Maybank in the

Senator Maybank held a majority of
approximately 10000 votes. His vote
was 143,731. Mr.. Dorm had 67,228.
Neville Bennett, Clio farmer who
had the support of the Negroes, had
38,151. Alan tombstone, Newberry
attorney, had 1888 and Marcus
Stone, Dillon and Florence lumber
man, had 1926.
Representative Richards of the
5th district led Roy Cobb, GaffDey
lawyer, 24,849 to 1902, with returns
in from 233 Of 248 precincts in the
district.
In the I'd district, however, Rep
resentative Riley appeared to be
beaten by Hugo S. Sims, jr., Orange
burg legislator. With only six of
254 precincts missing, Mr.. Sims held
a 32,997- $40 lead.
3 Representatives Un0pposed.
In the four-man race in the Sd
district, James B. Hare, Saluda
lawyer, paced the field. With re-
turns in from 296 of the 329 pre-
cincts, Mr.. Hare had 21,373 votes
ana faced a runoff with John C.
Taylor, Anderson, a former Repre-
sentative, who had 1890 votes.
Trailing were r. L. Gamble, Ander-
son, former State Labor Commits
sioner, who had 8,416, and Leon L.
Rice, Anderson lawyer, with 3,611.
Three Representatives had no OPP
position. They are L. Mendel Rivers
of the LIST district, Joseph R. Bryson
of the 4th district and John L. Nc
MILAN of the 9th district, ranking
Democrat of the House District
Committee.
State legislators and district and
county officials also were nominated.
Republicans planned opposition in
the general election, but this has
never been serious in this over
whelmingly Democratic State.
A Negro leader reported-and the
sheriff denied-that fiery crosses
burned near a vote instruction meet
ing for Negroes near Aiken before
the voting started.
Mr.. Bennett issued a statement
late last night charging political
trickery" had been used by Maysank

Mr.. Bennett said actually Senator
Maybank got the Negro vote ION
account of his appointment of Judge
q. Waties) Waring," who opened
the Democratic Party to Negroes.
Senator Maybank has denied he
was responsible for Judge Warnings

NYDE KERSCHNER of Dept.
" 268 went fishing at Catawba
Cliffs. He felt about 16 years old
instead of his usual so or more.
3Ie accomplished this by rolling
up his trousers and hanging his
legs over the side of the boat
dragging his feet in the water.
Results - badly sunburned legs.
The boat finally got stuck on a
sand bar and Clyde said he
would push it off. He did but
found out that he didn't have
enough strength left to climb
back into the boat. He tried to
fall in and instead fell on the
side and rolled into the drink
nearly reaching Davey j S
Locker before his fishing partner
pulled him out. Clyde, the moral
of this tale is always act your
age because you are not a chick
en- any more.

July 1st, the opening day of the
bass season. All at once the
brother who must have been in

to say, Gee l have to get rid Of
