Comments From Capitol Hill

The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1961-06-20

value of prosperity is not just that we
have budget in the black, not just that
we have people making money and liv-
ing we'll. The value of prosperity in to-
days economic war with international
communism is much greater.
We must have prosperity to insure
the stability of the dollar, which is all
important in the great economic test
between free enterprise and commu-
nism.
So prosperity is not just something
that it would be nice to experience. 1t
is vital necessity for the United States
in today's world
1t is impossible to legislate prosperi-
ty. The people who strive for perfect
ion, who have a pride in their product,
who are Industrious, thrifty and deter
mined make prosperity just as the Ger
mans have done. The German people
know what it means to be a vanquished
people. They know the hardships of
war, poverty and destruction, but they
still have pride in quality and efficiency
of production. Those are the secrets of
the stability Of the German race, where
yer you find them. Under free sys-
tenn of government these people will
rise again to be world power, and
valued allies of the other free nations,
especially the United States.

Farm Problem DEVELOPMENTS
Up to the present time, the dis
cuSsions in Congress as to how
best to aid the farmer have been
very controversial. The Con-
! gresSmen from the Central West
have fought for greater appro-
priations for the farmer; while
the congressman from the East,
the section which pays most of
the taxes, have fought for some
more realistic plan than Presi-
dent Kennedy has heretofore
proposed. Now, if the President
carries out his program to help
these poor nations. the farm
problem will become a national
affair and be classified under
Defense.
Therefore, let me summarize:
II President Kennedy has been
told by Khrushchev that Com
munism will win by helping the
poor nations and by using guer-
rilla warfare when necessary.
q The immediate help which
the poor nations need is food
and the ability to grow crops on
their own soil. 81 This means
that the side which is to be the
most successful will be the one
which acts first. Mr.. Khruschev
as a dictator can act quickly,
while President Kennedy will be
handicapped by committees, pol
itics. and Congressman. This
thought is not SO optimistic. 4,
When President Kennedy left on
his trip, he was being advised
to freeze PRICES and wages:
but since his return, he asks only
to be Dictator to the extent of
carrying out the above proposals
as a part Of the Defense Pro-
gram.

cards that it is economically
unsound. The Federal Govern
ment has no money except that
which it gets from the people.
The Federal Government never
returns to the people in aid more
than fraction Of the money col
lected from them. So Federal
aid, rather than creating more
money actually hr i n k S the
money available on the local
level so that it buys less edu-
cation than otherwise could be
bought by proper local action.
Still another major fault of
the idea of Federal aid is that
is inevitably poses the threat of
Federal control. Any level of
government handing out tax
money has a responsibility to
direct how that money shall be
used. Federal control of educa-
ton would be extremely danger
Gus. The control might not be
very noticeable at first. But aft
er a short time local commu
mites drained of tax funds to
finance the Federal aid program
would become dependent upon
it, and then would be poWerless
to resist controls in the form of
strings attached to the aid
funds.
But there is still another over
riding reason the Federal aid
scheme ought to be rejected.
That reason: 1t is not needed
Federal aid proponents claim
60,780 classrooms need to be
built each year for the next ten
years. Current classroom build
ing already totals 10000 a year
without Federal aid.
Aid proponents say Federal in
tervention is needed because of
increasing school population. The
average annual incre ease in

8. There is still a third and re-
lated (subversion to foreign isms)
phase of our current CLIQUE
pressured political maneuvering
which is fitting our tents toward
appeaSement with steady gains
for those who vow to devour this
nation and rear our grandchil-
dren in communistic atmos-
phere. The uniformed are easily
mlSlnformed. they play easily
into the hands of pressure groups,
who care little if tomorrow brings
socialism and the day after to-
morrow brings communism.
The minimum wage bill now
before Congress which would up
the hourly wage to $1.25 an hour
when labor cannot now find per-
manent employment at 80 cents
an hour would increase unem-
ployment and add more confusion
to the already confused econmy.
The evil eyed boys abroad are
probably saying, Boys you are
doing fine job for our side. "
Unnecessary legislation by
pressure groups produces more
confusion and the more we con-
fuse the more we subvert. The
uniformed must be more accur-
ately informed; truth must be
enthroned again.

Double Check

We may not be getting any
where fast but we even got Re-
publicans talking sense these
last days. That's what we
sposed to be Twin in.
Sent Adlai off to communicate
with the dictators he acted
very cool and calm. America
never won any conferences but
we sometimes plant a seed of
thought that makes the winners
awake to wish they were more
like us United States that is.
Most of us are just a setting
tight and waiting for something
to rise. Can't tell if'n its bread or
the Sun and whole passel are
just firm in the conviction that
what ever happens will happen.
We know by now that whatever
happens don't have to be for the
best-could be for most any
thing.
Years ago somebody said:
Beware of foreign entangle-
mentS." Now they tell us to get
out, go home. and stone our
most worthy representatives of
good neighbor policies. We can't
even trade tractors for men and
our own men and our tractors
what do you know about
that? One of these days we may
rise up and say something has
got to be did then WHO is
the do-er?
Illegal gambling pays off to
the sum of Nine Billion per year,
profit and tax free.
Right now a strike is in the
making that will tie up the ma
ton. Others strike at freedom
of America and by forces we
cannot control. Peace be still.
Thanks for reading.

Communist Registration

and William Brennan Jr Voting to up
hold them were Justices Felix Frank
futer, Tom Clark, John Harlan, Charles
Whitaker and Potter Stewart.
AS soon as the courts decision was
announced the Communist party de-
nounced it in a long reply, which was,
of course given play in the eastern
metropolitan press. And the commun-
lists called upon President John Ken
nedy to react to the court decision as
President Thomas jefferson reacted to
a court decision in his day - by par
doning all convicted under It's terms.
And while we are gald to see the
laws upheld, it is difficult for us to un-
derstand how four of the nine justices
could vote to repudiate these laws, one
of which has been on the boks since
1910!

BabsOn Discusses Farm Prices

BABSON PARK. MASS. June
15-First let me say that farm
prices affect everyone. not SIM
ply the farmer. They affect
every consumer who reads this
column. We all have to eat: and
indirectly we pay what the far
mer gets for his crops.
kennedy's Report To The Nation
AS have time to reflect upon
President Kennedv's recent radio
-TV report on his meeting with
Mr.. Khrushchev, it boils down
to this.-Mr Khrushchev does
not want war and is willing to
cooperate on negotiations for
disarmament, but he fleets that
Communism will gradually
sweep over the world and will
win without war. Of course.
President Kennedy in a manful
manner said I'VE will not allow
this" There it ended in a peace
full tie.
After he talked with Macmil-
Ian in London, they concluded
that the only way to stop this
Communist glacier" would be
by providing the backward ma
tons with something better than
Khrushchev could offer. Fur
thermore. to be effective. we
must not only do it as free ma
tions. but do ii first, with the
United States carrying the bur-
den of the load.
Backward Nations Needs
President Kennedys refers to
the need for education, new IN
dustries, more healthful living
conditions, and food; but this is
looking ahead ten or more years.

tries which Communism plans
to take over. one by one, can

One of the most significant
things about the current agita-
ton for massive Federal aid to
education" is that it's primary
source has not been the people
on the local level who are sup
posed to be in such need of
Federal help.
Most of the propaganda for
Federal aid has come from pro-
fessional educationists such as
those running the National Ed
ucation Association, Whic h
maintains a lobby in Washing
ton that even the AFI-CIO,
with all its big spending for lob
bying, might envy. And the Fed
eral aid to education propagan-
da has spread from the NEA to
various school administrators.
There are several things basi-
cally wrong with the idea Of
Federal aid to education.
For one thing, such a program
as has been proposed would be
unconstitutional, because the
Constitution of the United States
simply does not provide any
authority for Federal aid to ed.
ucation. and does provide that
the powers not specifically dele
gated to the Federal Govern
ment shall remain in the hands
of the States or the people, where
education is, has been, anc
should properly remain.
Another thing wrong with the
idea of Federal aid to education
although the fact that it is I'm.
constitutional ought to be
enough by itself to cause its dis.

school enrolment for 1855 SO
was IL million; for l960-64 it is
expected to drop to IL million
and for 1965-69 will decrease
still more to only 0.6 million.
Furthermore, the aid hackers
are using phony statistics. For
example. the Bureau of the Bud

cess of normal capacity al
though the school population had
not increased but the number of

newspapers across the Nation
did too. a stack of eight alleged
news releases that were prop

and the National Congress of

Vote Froud's Bad, But
Pressure Groups Constitute
Biggest Danger To Country
BY DR.. Charles r. Brown

BY DR.. Charles r. Brown
Retired Head of History Depart
ment at Roanoke College
On Feb. IA, Richard Wilson,
chief of the Look" Washington
Bureau, published an article in
the magazine on How to Steal
an Election" which is worthy Of
very careful consideration since
it is thoughtful commentary on
what could have happened to
throw the national election Of
1860 to this or that candidate. If
there is merit in Mr.. Wilson S
article, and l believe there is, it
should be widely read by the
American people because it
spells out a trend in American
political behavior unworthy Of our
heritage, traditions and future in
tegrity.
While my comment will make
no effort to point up political
manipulations and frauds that
may have influenced previous
elections, it will endeavor to re-
mind the American electorate of
a growing demand that they be-
stir themselves at election times
and come up with a definite re-
solve to prevent pressure groups
from getting control of future
elections in this nation. In this
connection l shall mention and
discuss two or more trends dam
gerous to our representative de-
mocracy and now very much in
vogue, that need attention lest we

not wait for food. Therefore, the
fight between Communism and
freedom will depend largely up
on which side will first supply
these poor people with food and
the ability to Immediately raise
more crops.
In short. it seems that this
cold war will be fought by farm
products rather than by missiles.
submarines. or men. 1t further
seems tn t Congress will
heartily back this new program.
Most Congressman are glad to
help the farmers. and all Con-
gressmen know that American
mothers would rather be taxed
more than send their sons to
fight in guerrilla warfare.
Farm Prices And Prosperity
A study of economic history
shows that general prosperity
Including stock prices is bas-
lcally determined by the con-
dition of the farmers. The far
mers' prosperity is usually de-
termined by the price which
they receive for their crops
provided the weather is normal.
This means that a greater de-
mand for farm products should
mean higher prices and greater
prosperity for all.
Farm prosperity benefits the
railroads. the harvester COM
panies. and a host of other in
dustries. From the time the far
mer plOWs his ground until he
reapS his crops. he is spending
money The higher the prices he
receives. the more the farmer
spends to the benefit of all
concerned. Even the weather is
not the factor it used to be, due
to the use of improved seeds and

become a nation ruled by pres
sure cliqueS. We mention voting
mechanics here more to get it
out Of the way than to present it
as a major threat to clean po-
litical conte S S. Most people
understand, l am sure, that buy
ing, selling, stuffing, duplicating,
intimidating. falsifying, discard
ing. voting dead people and even
changing machine combinations
to produce a winner have been
building up in this country for
many years. And for the sake of
being good and regular sports we
accept results in the common be-
lief that political harmony should
predominant even at the expense
Of clean elections. We are COM
ing to believe, too, that in very
nation there turks a certain
amount OF evil which must be
left to dissipate itself.
Which reminds us that early in
the Christian era people believed
that sin like the wind was every
where in nature and that the only
way to be saved was to with
draw from the wicked world. Out
of that belief came the Monastic
order. However, people soon
found out that there was no sin
hopping about from tree to tree
unless there were some Adams
and Ewes lettering around in
their shadows.
Similarly there is no political
evil lurking in a voting machine,
in a ballot box, in a booth, in the
number of papers offered by alb
Sentee voters unless they are
tempered with by politically hun
cry office seekers and election
fixers. Therefore, we must con-
clude that the mechanisms set up
for election purposes, in them
selves, are not the sinners we
are looking for; it is the screw
driver artists. the ballot box
suffers, the bifocaled recorders,
the organized election fixers that
throw elections if and when they
are thrown. Hence the two most
active and mounting practices
that lead us into temptation at
election time are:
l.. The insistence of our ultra
liberal brethren in and about
Washington to multiply laws that
can be easily used to cover up
immoral practices and convince
voters that an election must be
won or they perish from neglect.
2. The growing power of pres
sure groups, particularly in the
big cities. who are fully prepared
to twist laws. arms and legs in
favor of their followers only-not
all the people.
Most of our strong presidents
of the past, particularly Mr.. JEFF
ferSon. deplored the tendency to
multiply laws in a democratic so
ciety as unnecessary, confusing
and likely to lead to political ma
nipulations by the unorthodox
boys that roam the streets of
Washington and the sidewalks of
the big cities looking for cue
to put over a piece of partisan
legislation, or a rancid judicial
decision.
Even more subtle and damag-
ing to American political in
tegrity than the growing number
of ill-advised laws is the growing
power and activity Of pressure
groups. They move through the
crowds with the greatest of ease,
putting the squeeze on mayors,
governors, congressman and, es-
pecially, the proletariat who
knoS not in whom to believe. The
