SPARTANBURG. S. Cat
IS, most folks are thinking
about retiring. At 10, Jimmy
Byrnes is thinking about run
ming for Governor Of South
Carolina.
Mr.. Byrnes has blossomed
anew in news headlines with
his comments on domestic at
fairs. His emphasis has been
on what he terms peoples
rights" In fact, his considers
ton of the governorship Is tied
up somewhat with this idea.
Some confusion has resulted.
A good many people immedi-
ately identified dynamic James
r. Byrnes with the States
Rights Democrats who bolted
the Democratic Party on the
civil rights issue and ran Gov.
Strom Thurmond Of Byrnes'
own State for President.
But. while Mr.. Byrnes has
spoken out against centraliza-
ton Of power in Washington
and big government in general,
he has not identified himself
with the States Rights Demo-
Gratis. He made it clear he
wasn't just hitting at the pres
ent Democratic administration.

Hasn't Left Party
After Mr.. Byrnes spoke re-
Gently before the Southern
Governors Conference, Cow

reported much speculation on
a proposal to run Byrnes as .

1852. Mr.. Byrnes spiked this
quickly with q declaration he
would not be q candidate for
President or Vice President Of
the States Rights Party. the
Democratic Party. the Republic

party.
Then he added he intended
to 90 right on speaking his
mind. He's given no hint OF
pulling out Of the regular DEM

said. If I should be elected.
I would expect opposition. II
you can't take it, you can't re-
main in public Office"
Mr.. Byrnes has been beaten
in only one election-back In
1924.
When he resigned as Secre-
taryfof State In 1947, he gave
health as the reason. Today
. he looks and acts At as q fiddle.
He hasn't been twiddhng his
thumbs since he left the cabi-
net.
Lost One Election
He became associated with q
Washington law flrm, but limits
his activity to appellate courts
and spends most OF his time
with his wife at their modest
brick home on the edge Of Spar
tanburg.
/ There In his crowded study
lined with honorary degrees
from great universities Mr..
Byrnes never went to high
school -he puts In q days work
that would give many younger
men the shudders. With Miss
Cassie Connor,s who was his
secretary throughout his public
life, Mr.. Byrnes keeps up with q
mountainous correspondence.
About once = week he flies to
Washington on legal business.
) Not the least Of his Jobs Is
keeping up with the James
+ F. Byrnes Foundation. This
isn't q foundation to perpetuate
his name. Its capital is spent to
send 81 orphans to college. Next
fall he expects to help SO.

from Wales. Young Bevan did not
let any sentimental sectional 10y
atty get in his way, however. One
day he got to his feet in
the House Of Commons and
tangled with his fellow Welsh
man over the coal mining
industry. Lloyd George was
a gifted orator but Bevan bested
him with an exhibition of verbal
fireworks that blinded the House
and sent his prestige soaring.
Churchill Is Target
A little more than a decade later
he found a new target-Winston
Churchill. Mr.. Bevan's critics sneer
at him for always going for the big
guns. They see in this a deliberate
policy of self-publicity. His friends,
however, insist he is a sincere do
gooder and acclaim him as a
champion Of the underdog."
He once called the Tory Party
"lower than vermin." When a
friend demonstrated with him he
replied, II understand that I
shan't make myself popular with
the gentry by such statements but
I don't want to, either. said that
on purpose. Our upper class has
looked down their noses for so
many years at every one who
doesn't belong to their little set
that it may do them good to learn
that two can play at that game"
Glass consciousness gave him
such a case of inverted snobbery
that it almost broke up his romance
with Jennie Lee. She was a miners
child, too. But her Scottish father
was a mine deputy, or foreman
which. in the Bevan mind, classed
him with the hated managers.
Jennie explained, however, that in
Scotland where her father worked
he was considered a member of
the working class.

And so, in 1884 they were mar

own right. He Is well-traveled
and knows both Europe and
America.
But while Nye Bevan is a So
cialist intellectual, bitter child
hood experiences put a chip on
his shoulder against Britain's
capitalist class. AS a boy miner
he annoyed his bosses by lying
down beside the coal tubs and
refusing to do one stroke more
than was necessary to earn his
minimum wage. (He now earns
$4,000 a year as a cabinet min
lister and likes his work so much
that he keeps at it for 16 hours
a day.
BY the time he was IS. he had
become something of boy orator
and his fellow miners made him
chairman of the largest miners
lodge In South Wales. At 10,
he came to London and spent the
last two years Of World War
studying at the Central Labor Col
lege. It was his first look at the
World beyond his Welsh hills
and it fascinated him. But he did
not forget the past. He burned
to do something about the un-
fair social order he had been born
into.
Chance Came in 1926
When he was 20, the 1926 gen.
eral strike gave him his first
chance to show his political mettle.
He had been back In South Wales
for eight years. He had lived on
the dole, unable to get work even
during the boom that preceded
the slump because he had be-
come known as an agitator. He
had been elected disputes agent
for his, union. And when the
general strike was called, he led
the Tredegar end of it in such
an effective fashion that it came to
be known as "Bevan's SIEGE"
Some of his miner pals used
to whisper. "He's a dreadful one.
He'd stop at nothing" But young
Bevan controlled his class hatred
and violent temper. This Is to
be passive resistance but, my God
such resistance that there is no
other course but for us to win, u
he told the miners. and they
obeyed him. The general strike
was broken but Tredegar-and
Bevan-came out of it with flying
colors. "A couple of years later
at 81, he was elected to Parlia-
ment from Ebbw pronounced

sented ever since. ...,s

Violent Crimes, Thefts
Increase in Summer,
.fBI Director Warns
By J. Edaor Hoover

Director. fsdsroi svrsev Of ts.ss.isofiea
The time of year which ushers
in sunny. carefree vacations also
opens q season of violence. anguish
and, often, death.
The summer months are when
crimes of violence stalk the land.
FBI statistics. from every section
Of the Nation. reflect that crimes
of yiolence--murder. rape and ag-
gravated assault - increase in
summer and decrease in winter.
In winter. of1enses against prop
erty-such IS robbery. burglary
and larceny-are most numerous.
These seasonal crime trends
must be analyzed in terms Of the
personal and social habits of
people. Crimes against the per-
son. for example. arise out Of per-
sonal conflict. The opportunities
for people to meet In varied as
semblages increase during the
summer season. hence the pos
sibility for conflict increases ac-
|cordingly. The long hours Of day
light entice people out Of doors.
Parks. Fairgrounds. resorts and
beaches are crowded. Close human
contact Is necessarily at q maxi
mum.
Heat Plays . Part.
Many factors are involved. and
the human-element cannot be
eliminated. The potential incen-
tives to unpremeditated violence
may be found In unlooked-fol
places. The harrassing tensions
arising from. hot and humid days
and nights are not the least OF
these.

definitely the season for increased
activity in offenses Of physical
violence.
While crimes of petty larceny

winter months, substantial
amount of this type of thievery il
found in summertime. This Ii
