George Backs Strength
In a speech prepared for the
opening of the foreign aid debate
today Senator George said:
Il do not believe that war is
inevitable. Indeed, there is q
chance that conditions have SC
changed in the past year that
|oul children may be able to avoid
the horrors of another war. But
they will not be able to avoid
that danger if we begin in this
bill to liquidate the military
strength of the free world. We
have so built and maintained our
joint defenses that potential

lead to victory"
Senator George said the So
Wet switch from military to econ
omy threats is in part due tt
recognition of the danger Of
atomic destruction. But it is due
also to the joint military strength

he said.
Agitation for Cut Grows
The .78-year-old George, who
win retire from the Senate in
January to become President
Eisenhower's Ambassador to the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza
ton. spoke against a background
of growing agitation within both
parties for cutting overseas
spending.
He warned that if the free
world is ;lulled into letting its
defenses fall into the discard BY
the new Russian approach il
will Invite disaster" The Geor.
gia Democrat pointed out thai
the military aid in this bill help:
to maintain more divisions ir
Turkey, in Korea, in Formoss
and Pakistan than are being in
the United States.
Senator Green, Democrat oil
Rhode Island, also spoke Out
today in support of the foreign
aid bill as reported from COM

1t is not likely the Senate will
reach the voting stage on for

The highlight of yesterday:

Senator Russell said his pa

SOMETHING FOR NOTHING

Conway, S. C. Horny Herald)
We don't pretend to be an ex-
pert on the Republicans soil bank
plan. But Daddy taught us always
to be wary of a proposal that Of
fers something for nothing. And
this would seem doubly true of
any proposal that offers a man
more for doing nothing than for
doing something.
Under this plan farmers would
be asked to take out of production
an average of 20 per cent of their
acreage now allotted to wheat,
corn, rice and cotton. For doing
this, they would be paid in the
four crops or the equivalent in
cash.
Now this may be logical. But
what will never seem logical to us
is the thinking that the farmer
must be given more for the acre
he doesn't cultivate than he will
receive for those he does.
Secretary of Agriculture Benson
was asked recently what incentives
farmers would be given to halt
production on a fifth of their
acreage. He replied: 81 should say
| it should be slightly above the net
return for the acres. Otherwise
! they would go ahead and plant
It's got to be high enough so he
will decide that is the right
choice"
We don't mean to insult the ma
tons farmers, but human nature
being what it is, we just don't
believe that "little bit extra" will
be necessary to put your program
across, Mr.. Secretary.
Some of your department Off
Gals have said such a program
would cost at least 400 million dol
lars this year if there is maximum
participation. Why not just pay the
farmer for those acres he doesn't
plant the same net return he gets
for those he planted and ploweG

STANDING ON
YOUR OWN FEET

(Bee-Picayune, Beeville, Texas)
The Holbrook, Arizona, Tribune
News-a paper which is published
in a region where livestock is
major crop-recently ran
straight-talking editorial about the
agricultural situation. 1t said;
"Today we're tremendously thank.
full that we live in section
where Americans still attempt
to stand on their feet and ask
little from anyone in their efforts
to make living except to be left
alone as much as possible :.
"Our father went broke in the
livestock business. We don't be.
lieve he was unusual in this coun-
try, but he never blamed anyone
for it in our hearing. 1t was just
the times and he died with g
measure of pride and dignity we
have always been proud of.
Livestock business at present
cannot be said to be encouraging
yet we have yet to hear anyone
in our territory that wants the
government to do something about
it. And we hope they never will.
"The best way to solve surpluses
of pork, wheat, cotton, potatoes
butter, or whatever, is to produce
less-and quit asking the govern
ment to bail them out with tax
money contributed by everyone
including themselves"
These may seem to be harsh
words. Yet they are based in the
granite of logic. Sooner or later
we will have to return to an agri-
cultural economy based upon pro-
duction for consumption, rather
than for storage. Meanwhile, the
livestock people deserve warm con-
CALCULATIONS for their independence
of spirit.

COMMENDS OUR STAND
FOR GOOD GOVERNMENT

To the Editor:
You are to be congratulated on
your courageous leadership for
good government and planning
during the past year. More power
to you.
The news of steady changing
times in the sea shore areas comes
with some misgivings, however.
Perhaps it is inevitable that it
should yield to development in our
fast expanding economy. But in a
sense it is a primitive frontier,
beautiful in it's naturalness, histor-
ically rich, all this and channel
bass besides. MAY they not go
the way of the Buffalo). Only
ideals, vision and firmness can al
low wise, growth yet prevent the
pressures of commercialism from
spelling the scene forever.

MACS HEAD BUILDERS GIT
CAPE HATTERAS CONTRACT

Superintendent Allyn F. Hanks
of Cape Hatteras National Sea-
shore opened bids Thursday for
day Use facilities at Coquina
Beach just south of the present
headquarters and for public toilet
facilities at Cape Point on Hat
teras Island. The low bid was sub
mitted by Daniels and Shanaberger
of Mays Head and the >Superin-
tendent advises that he is recon-
mending award of project. Work
should start in the next few weeks.
The Day Use Facilities at CO.
quina Beach was recently submit
ted in a National Design Compe-
tition and received an award as an
outstanding architectural design.
Coquina Beach is a portion of the
Hatteras Seashore Area suitable
for bathing, picnicking or other
daytime uses. The architects have
provided appropriate structures
for picknickers, dressing enclos-
ures, rest rooms, first aid and life
guard headquarters, information
and control points, and shelters for
tools and supplies. These groups
may be repeated at intervals along
the 70 miles of beach front. Par
ticular attention was given to sun
and wind factors in designing
these various shelters. A shade
screen with cantilevered and step
ped fms, allowing even winds Of
hurricane force to pass through,
was found to be most practical.
Variations of this method will be
used throughout the project. Work
on this project has been under
way for over year and with the
completion of construction, the IA
cilities to serve the many day vis-
itors win be provided.

The Enterprise has been opposed
to Federal aid for education for
several years. Among the reasons
stated is that we certainly don't
want the education of our children
to become a political football. Also
the ever present danger of COM
plete loss of States Rights causes
us worry. It is to be noted that
there is already an amendment to
President Eisenhower's school aid
