Sick Leave Policy

I see by Joseph Young's
column March 15) that the
Civil Service Commission OPP
poses Congressman Lesinski's
bill to give credit to Govern
ment employees for unused
sick leave.
1t seems the csc will OPP
pose the bill because it would
discriminate against en-
ployes who have had the
misfortune to be sick and be
a bonus to those who had
the good fortune to stay well.
This Is ridiculous reason
ing. 1t could be used to oppose
just about anything bene-
ficial to a group. I suppose
the csc will oppose the pay
raise on the grounds that
some employees have had the
misfortune to spend their
savings and get into debt, and
that any raise would be a
bonus to the more provident
ones.
Apparently the csc hasn't
heard that a large number of
employees use up their sick
leave about as fast as it &C
crues. Their reasoning: "I'lr
lose 1t anyway so why not use
it." Congressman Lesinski's
proposed bill would do much
to curb this practice and
would encourage the other,
more faithful. workers.
The longer I work for the
Government the better I
understand the dismal out
look that so many employees
have for the commission.

Coping With Crime

The wild West Of yester-
year was tanned by citizens
who tired of lawlessness and
formed the vigilantes to bring
law enforcement into their
cities and make their West a
decent place to live in.
Something drastic has to
be done, so why not let police
bring their clubs out Of the
moth balls and use them on
the meaty part Of the anat-
omy Of youngsters who open
ly defy them and diligently
on the others that make our
streets unsafe for all?
Bring out of retirement our
vagrancy law, enforce it and
deport all migrants without
means Of support; force I'M
desirables to depart with a
stiff penalty for return; dis
courage the influx Of I'M
skilled workers into the city;
remedy If possible the crowd
ing of houses by friends and
relatives with no visible
means Of support.
Enforce the housing code
so that filthy dwellings, fire
traps, unhealthy houses and
breeding places Of crime and
disease, be the responsibility
OF INSCRIPTIONS landlords
who exact exorbitant prices
Tor unfit housing, which tend
to bring overcrowding to meet
payments.
Make beer taverns be more
strict in seeing that minors
are not served.
We. the citizens, are willing
TO back up the police 100 Der

community. NO one can say
that South Carolina repub-

elections underscore the fact
that the party isn't a for

ical reality"
Hot Contest for Democrats
Much Of the political
drama" in South Carolina
this last week was not con-
fined to the G. o. P. The
Democrats are developing
another really heated con-
test for their party's sena-
torial nomination, with Sen
ator Johnston, a veteran Of
II years service. seeking to
succeed himself for another
six-year term, and the States
hustling young Governor,
Ernest F.. Hollings, entering
the lists against him. Over
the years, there has been a
long series Of hot contests
among the Democrats for the
office Of Senator of the
United States. In 1850, Sena-
tor Johnston met a formi-
dable opponent, the then
Gov. Strom Thurmond, who
more recently was elected to
another Senate seat. Senator
Thurmond won his nomina-
ton to the Senate in 1854 in
a write-in election. The con-
sentative Democrats general
ly have rallied to Senator
Thurmond, and Senator
Johnston has been consid-
cred a liberal, according to
southern specifications. Gov.
Holdings has been making a
bid for the conservative vote.
There is no question about
the conservatism of Repub-
llcan senatorial candidate
Workman. In his speech ac-
cepting the nomination. Mr..
Workman thanked the dele
gates and the Republican
Party for their support lin
our fight for conservative
government" He charged
that a Democratic admini-
stration-the Kennedy adj
ministration-is day by day
seeking ito undermine the
political institutions which
made this Nation great. The
concepts Of States rights
and of local self-government
are being swallowed up in a
determined drive to concen-
trate all power in Washing
ton"
And Senator Barry Gold
water Of Arizona, conserya-
tive leader and chairman of
the Republican Senatorial
Campaign Committee, was a
principal speaker at the
South Carolina convention
He was the choice of South
Carolina Republicans for the
presidential nomination in
1860, and will be again. in
all probability in 1864. SEN
ator Goldwater. in his adj
dress said: THE time has
come for South Carolina to
send someone to Washing
ton to help Strom Thurmond
represent the conservatives"
AS Of today, however, Sen
ator Johnston appears to
have the edge over Gov.
Holdings. Some Republicans
are inclined to hope so, for
they believe their candidate,
Mr.. Workman, might have a
better chance against Sen
ator Johnston than against
the Governor, rallying the
conservatives to the Work.
man cause. But a Republican
victory for the G. o. P. sem
atorial candidate would be a
miracle. no matter who his
Democratic opponent.

THE POLITICAL MILL
South Carolina G. O. P. of Aoe
By GOULD LINCOLN

It is a far cry for the
Republican Party of South
Carolina from the days Of
"Tieless Joe" Tolbert, who in
the early 1900s headed and
delivered the COPS ma
tional convention delegates,
to last Saturdays Republican
State Convention in Column
bia, attended by more than
1000 persons. About TAO were
delegates elected in the vari-
GUS counties. When "Tieless
Joe" - he refused to wear a
necktie - held a convention,
it could have been squeezed
into a telephone booth. The
Republican Party in South
Carolina shows signs Of COM
ing OF age. It believes that
it has a chance to elect a
United States Senator next
November. It's candidate is
w. D. Workman, jr., of Co.
lumbia, a newspaperman and
author, who was enthusi-
astically nominated by the
State convention. He will be
fighting for the Senate seat
now held by Senator DIN D.
Johnston.
A victory for Mr.. Workman
would be a political sensation
even a greater sensation
than the election last year
OF Senator John G. Tower,
a Texas Republican, to fill
the unexpired Senate term
Of Vice President Lyndon B.
johnson. In recent years,
however, the term Republican
has lost some of its old con-
notation in South Carolina.
1t has become respectable.
The State has cast large votes
m the three last presidential
elections - for Dwight D.
Eisenhower and for Richard
Nixon. Further, the COP.
has elected two members of
the State Legislature.
The change in political vot-
Ing goes far beyond the oppo-
sition Of conservative South
Carolina Democrats to deseg-
regation. They did not like
the Truman Fair Deal" nor
do they care for the Kennedy
New Frontier" Many of
them actually have moved
into the Republican Party
and call themselves Republi-
cans. The COP. also will
have a list of candidates
seeking election to the ma
tional House of Representa-
tives next fall. It may be in
these House contests that the
breakthrough will come - if
not this year, in the near
future.

Of greeting friends and ac-

in the comings and goings Of
our daily chores, attending
parties, or wherever we may
go or be :. it's bound to q
part Of our lives.
An example of the thought
lessness that I am referring
to. is the person who greets
you as follows (particularly
hard to take when you are
with someone else, because
how can you introduce her
to the newcomer:
How do you do? You
don't remember me do your"

nr0hahlv dOn'tn
The only way to handle
this unfair approach is to
admit frankly that you don't
remember the name. It may
seem rude to be frank in
cases such as this, but &C
tually the person who greets
you in the above manner is
entirely at fault. Those guilty
Of this unkindness, as well
as all the rest of US. slip up
at times and forget peoples
names. This being the case it
always seems strange to me
that people don't show more
consideration for others in
this regard.
Why not train yourself to
always give your name when
you meet a mere acquaint-
ance, or a casual one that
you may not meet very often?
This is certainly the most
considerate way. Instead of
just assuming that you are
important enough to have
your name remembered, give
others the benefit of the
doubt.
In the rush Of our bust
ness and social life today we
meet many people Gin pass
ing" To remember all the
names is beyond the scope of
most folks. Some lucky ones
have the ability, a priceless
gift really, of placing the
right name on the right face
at all times. But let's be hon.
est about it! Most of us,
partly through our own lack
of attention, aren't very good
at remembering who is who.
To make the going easier
for all concerned, if you make
a point of greeting others as
follows, they will bless you:
How do you do? I'm Mary
Green Cor Mrs. Green, If you
prefer. I had the pleasure of
meeting you at the recent
S alva tion Army charity
luncheon"
This kind person has &C
complished two things. She
has identified herself by
name, and at the same time
mentioned where you met.
The latter gives an opening
to get a conversation started
which is very helpful some
times.
There are times too, when
you are on the receiving end
Of such a greeting, to give
your name in return. It's
just possible that the greet
er while endeavoring to be
friendly, isn't too sure of
your name either. Whether
the situation calls for it or
not, it never hurts to answer
somewhat like this: "Oh yes,
Mrs. Green. I'm Phyllis Dow.
Wasn't that a lovely fashion
display that day?"
BY being thoughtful to-
wards each other in any
"how-do" situation, a very
treasured friendship may de-
velop, who knows.
