The late Rev. A. D. Welty, a one
time Bluffton businessman who be-
came a missionary and founder of
the Lima Rescue Home, is being
honored in a series of special radio
rallies being conducted by Radio
HCJB of Quito, Ecuador, South
America.
DR.. Clarence w. Jones, president
of the World Radio Missionary Eel
lowship which operates HCJB, has
announced that a campaign has been
started asking Rev. Welty's friends
to make possible the purchase of the
Welty Memorial Organ to be in
stalled in the World Radio Chapel at
the station in Quito.
REV. Welty loved the old hymns
of the church and often served as
pianist and songleader at his mis-
sion. We believe that fitting memo
rial to such a staunch servant of God
would be best expressed in music, !"
DIR. Jones said.
Missionary broadcasting carried on
by HCJB is Is years old this year,
having begun with 200 watt TOY of
transmitter" in 1881 when there
were only six receivers in all Ecua-
dor. Today HCJB broadcasts around
the clock in 10 different languages.
With a staff of 125 American and
Canadian missionaries and SO Ecua-
doreans the station carries over
2, 400 programs monthly.
Programs of HCJB feature reli-
gious, educational and cultural pro-
grams. The station is non-commer-
cial and non-political.
Additional ministries of the pio-
neer radio mission include two mod.
ern hospitals, school, Bible Insti.

FLA Boys Declare
War On Farm. Pests

Members of the Bluffton Future
Farmers have been divided into
competitive teams for the opening

The first Thanksgiving Day was set
aside to give thanks for full har-
vest in rugged land, thanks for an
end to hunger, thanks for abundance
after a year of suffering and priva-
ton. And so, even though we haven't
the Pilgrim fathers excuse for
feast, we commemorate the day by
stuffing ourselves.
Next to football, or perhaps even
ahead of it, over-eating is said to be
our national sport on turkey day."
Magazines and newspapers picture
the grinning boy devouring the drum
stick, Grandmother pulling the sue
culent pies out of the oven, Mother
triumphantly bearing the plump,
golden bird to the table where Dad
waits with carving knife.
Anybody who doesn't do justice to
this array of vittles desecrates the
spirit of the day-and may even be
called un-American.
An so we eat and eat. We take sec
ond and third helpings of everything,
and consume quantities of food that
we wouldn't think of eating on any
other day. We know that we're in for
trouble, but upset stomachs have
come to be the accepted aftermath of
Thanksgiving.
Must it be so? Would we honor
Thanksgiving any the less if we re-
fused that third helping of turkey?
(Anybody who refused second help
ing 1oould be unpatriotic.) Does that
second piece of rich pumpkin or
mince pie really taste as good as the
first?
No one would dare suggest that the
feast should be reduced to a dieter's
lettuce leaf. But all the traditional
goodies will taste just as good when
eaten in sensible quantities.
This Thanksgiving let's remember
that it isn't quantity but quality that
makes food good-and that giving

Victory for CONGRESS

The ruling by the full bench of the
United States Court of Appeals in the
case of John T. Watkins, former organ
izer for the United Automobile Workers,
reflects salutary respect for the right
Of Congress to function within its proper
sphere without judicial interference.
Last January divided three-judge
panel of the court had reversed the con-
viction of Watkins for contempt of the
House Committee on Un-American Activ-
tiles The majority on that panel, Chief
Judge Edgerton and Judge Bazelon, held
that the committee had no authority to
ask series of questions which Watkins
had refused to answer. This brought a
vigorous dissent from Judge Bastian He
said this: II suggest that this decision
puts us in the position of a court of
appeals over the Congress and its COM
mittees, allowing us to pass upon queS-
tionS relating to legislation and limiting
the scope of such inquiries to what this
court thinks that scope should be-" The
five other appellate judges (newly
appointed Judge Burger did not partici
pate) now have agreed with Judge
Bastians view on the legal question in
volved. The earlier decision is set aside
questions is affirmed.
The issue turned on rather narrow
point. Watkins, a fortnight witness be-
fore the committee, did not seek to invoke
the Fifth Amendment. He readily an
swered questions pertaining to his own
Communist associations, and said he
would answer questions about any others
whom he still believed to be Communists.
But he refused to answer when asked
whether, in past years, he had known
some 80 individuals as Communists. His
basis for this refusal was that he did not
think the questions were relevant to the
committees investigation, but were de-
signed, instead, to expose" these indi-
vidualS. This view was accepted by
Judges Edgerton and Bazelon.
But the full court was in emphatic
disagreement. 1.-THE purpose of the COM
mittee'S hearing" it said, "was to aid it
in its study of proposed amendment to
the Internal Security Act of 1850. That
amendment was in fact enacted into law
four months after appellants refusal to
testify. =. This is proper example Of
the exercise of legitimate legislative
purpose. Congress has the power Of
exposure if the exposure is incidental to
the exercise of a legislative function"
This is an important ruling. For if
1t stands up on appeal to the Supreme
Court it will tend to lift from the con-
greSSional power of investigation severe
and in orr Indictment on ,,ouua rro nj ed
restraint imposed by the earlier ruling.

Near East Moneuverino

Egyptian influence on the Arabian
peninsula and Premier Nasser's leader
ship in the neutraliSt-nationali move
ment that is spreading through much of
the Arab world have been strengthened
further by signing of the military pact
involving Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the
Yemen. In military meaning alone, addi-
ton OF the Yemen to an already existing
alliance between the other powers adds
no modern arms strength. 1t does how
ever, unity an Arab front that extends
along the entire eastern shore of the Red
Sea and which is bracketed on mos: of its
western coast by Egypt and the Sudan.
1t is in two other respects that the
alliance has greater significance One
involves current efforts by Britain to
retain its coastal footholdS along the
Arabian Sea front and into the Persian
Gulf. The other concerns the inter-Arab
rivalry in which Egypt appears bent upon
forming solid bloc of ISlamic states
leaning neither toward the West nor
toward the Communist community, while
Iraq exercises Arab leadership in an out
right pro-Western alliance.
Already involved in bitter contro-
versy with Saudi Arabia about juriSdic-
ton over certain Persian Gulf areas, and
with similar trouble threatened over it's
control of Bahrain Island, Britain like
wise is finding its position in Alden ques-
toned by both Saudi Arabia and the
Yemen. Actually, although Premier
NasSer has been critical of British "im-
perialism" there has been a noticeable
lessening of anti-British propaganda out
of Cairo in the past fortnight and his
influence is expected to be more restrain
ing than otherwise toward any real
showdown over the disputed peninsula
territories. AS for the inter-Arab con-
test, the Importance of the Yemen-a
primitive stronghold of Islam-is more
spiritual than material. On this basis, its
willingness to join the Egyptian-led bloc
in military alliance may have influence
on other nearby uncommitted Moslem
countries.

Modest Promoter

I was interested in John v.
Hinkel's recent letter on the
American Public Relations AS
sociation'S Silver Anvil Award
to the Army because it was
so typical of him.
Silent on his own contri-
buttons. John Hinkel always is
ready and generous in his
praise of the contributions of
others. Purple Heart veteran
of World War II, former New
York Times ace reporter, full
colonel in command of one of
the Army's top reserve units.
John Hinkel has made out
standing contributions to our
national defense through his
activities in behalf of the
Army, the Army Reserve and
the National Guard.
Two years ago the Silver
Anvil Award. highest in the
field of public relations. was
won by the National Guard
Bureau. A public relations
consultant to the bureau at
the time. John v. Hinkel, pub
Usher and professor of public
relations at the George Wash

vital part in the development
of the national program that
first brought the highly COW
eted award to the Pentagon.

Strictly Political

Senate Majority Leader Johnson,
favorite son of Texas and widely men
toned dark horse candidate for the
Democratic presidential nomination,
made political talk to the Nation on
Monday night His subject was the farm
problem and President Eisenhower'S veto
of farm bill that featured a return to
the rigid 80 per cent of parity price sup
port formula discarded earlier through
bipartisan congressional action.
Mr. Johnson told his audience that
farm mortgage debt has increased a bill
lion dollars each year for the past three
years. He said the farmers had been on
the economic downgrade since 1852. He
said that market-depresSing SURPRISES
had continued to increase through 1855.
Mr.. Johnson did not mention, however,
that during those three years of declining
farm income and mounting SURPRISES the
80 per cent formula was in effect. He did
not mention that farm income had
started its decline and that SURPRISES had
started to pile up before the change in
administrations in 1883 He did not
mention that the flexible price support
program did not become applicable until
late 1855. He did not explain how a
formula that was widely blamed for
starting this unhappy trend, and which
was finally abandoned with substantial
support from his own party, could now be
considered satisfactory answer to the
farm problem. In fact, he did not even
say that he was talking politics.

wiseSt of us are not entirely
aware of how profound is the
effect on our minds of the con-
tinued repetition of ideas over
the powerful psychological
media of radio and television.

When, in defiance of we'll

House Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Committee in the
83d Congress, the brewers still
continue to entice children
with busy little beavers. cute
little bear cubs, lifting tunes
and fairies with wands and to
madden alcoholics by showing
the pouring of beer on
screen, it seems to me that
there is definitely shown a
need for further intervention
by Congress. This bill, if
passed, would not prevent the
advertising of alcoholic bever-
ages in States which permit
it. 1t would make less farcical
the supposed authority given
the States in the Twenty first
Amendment to control their
own alcohol problems. And it
would very properly take this
highly irritating and contro-
versial advertising off the air.
Not only total abstainers, but
people who drink object to this
type of advertising in their
homes.
Furthermore, the charge
that this bill, if passed, would
open the door to barring other
advertising is completely false.

Colombia Berries Burn Like Candles

tropical desert to heavy SHOWS,
low temperatures and violent
winds.
The plants are known as
"frailejones," because of the
resemblance of their covering
to the habits worn by certain
orders of priests. They belong
to the botanical genus espele-
tia, a member of the daisy
family. More than so species
are known.
These strange plants range
in the Andes from the state
of Miranda in Venezuela west
ward and southwark into the
mountain chains of Colombia
and the northern part of Ecua-
dor. They are found at eleva-
tons of from 5000 to $4,000
feet. Different species are
found on each complex of
'paramoS," as the extensive
level areas above the timber
line are called in the Andes.
Only one species is known as
low as 5000 feet.
Some Produce Resin
The espeletias often grow
densely. in some places con-
shutting predominant fea-
ture of the vegetation. Some
are single-stemmed shrubs.
growing twice as high as a
man, with trunks almost a foot
in diameter. Others are small
herbs. Many bear vivid yellow
flowers, an inch or more in
diameter.
Several species produce a
resin which imparts a char
acteriStic odor to the atmos-
phere of the paramoS. This
resin is said to be used locally
in manufacture of ink. The
resin of one species is used as
incense in some Colombian
churches.
An almost legendary plant,
stories of which are open to
some doubt according to the
Colombian botaniSts. is the
ayahuaSco, or dead mans
vine, from which. it is claimed,
Indians make a brew quite
similar to the imaginary drug
by which DR.. Jekyll, in Steven
sons tale, was able to split
the good and evil elements of
his character.
When the medicine man
first gulpS the brew-this is
an chronological report which
the botanist cannot confirm
he turns deadly pale, trembleS
in every limb, and the express
sion on his face is one of in
tense pain and horror. This
is followed in about a minute
by a reckless fury in which he
seizeS whatever lies at hand
and starts beating the trees
and ground. screaming that
they are his enemies. In about
10 minutes the excitement
leaves him and he falls to the
ground exhausted. No scien-
tific experiments with the
drug are known.
