WASHINGTON I
TRADE POLICIES which favor
foreign goods at the expense of
American industry and the jobs of
American workers were colorfully
and truthfully described recently
by Robert S. Lynch, Chairman of
the Board of Atlantic Steel Com
pany of Atlanta, as “holding a gun
at our own head with one hand
and digging our grave with the
Testifying be
fore the House
Committee on
Ways and
Means in op
position to the
proposed exten
sion and liber
alization of the
Reciprocal
Trade Agreements Act, Mr. Lynch
told Congressmen that indiscrimi
nate foreign imports of steel prod
ucts, up as much as 412 per cent
in some categories since 1953, have
forced his firm to skip its first
dividend since the depression and
to lay off one-third of its workers.
He predicted that, unless some
thing is done quickly by Congress
to shut off imports which are de
stroying this country’s domestic
economy, many industries are go
ing to find it necessary to move
out of the country in order to be
able to compete for the American
market.
• • •
THE CASE OF Atlantic Steel
Company is not an isolated one.
U. S. News and World Report in
its issue; cf March 7 listed a num
ber of instances in which Ameri
can producers have been forced to
the wall and American workers
thrown out of work because of ex
cessive imports of goods produced
by cheap labor abroad. It cited
the examples of a 41-year-old
dinnerware producer put out of
business and two prominent watch
and sewing machine companies
which have moved their plants to
Japan to stay in operation.

Among those threatened by im
ports are the textile, plywood,
watch, camera, sewing machine,
cutlery, pottery, optical, sporting
goods, scientific instrument, tile,
typewriter, kitchen utensil and
brush industries. In Georgia some
textile plants are running only two
or three days a week and plywood
companies have been forced either
to shut down or drastically curtail
their operations because of Japan
ese competition. Added to the cur
rent recession, this situation pre
sents a bleak outlook for industry
caught in the squeeze between
rising production costs on the one
hand and declining public purchas
ing power on the other.
THE BLAME FOR this rests
squarely on the doorstep of the
Eisenhower Administration which
has used trade as an instrument
of its abortive foreign policy of
attempting to buy friends. With
foreign aid dollars it has built and
streamlined foreign industry and,
through manipulation of tariffs
under the Reciprocal Trade Agree
ments Act, it has opened the doors
of this country to the flood of low
cost goods thus produced. It has
considered American businesses
and jobs expendable and has met
all complaints with the reply that
to do otherwise might make some
neutralist nation mad with us.
It is impossible to agree with
President Eisenhower that it is in
“our own economic self-interest” to
give the Executive Branch author
ity to further reduce tariffs by 25
per cent over the next five years.
To the contrary, our economic sal
vation demands that Congress re
assert its constitutional authority
to control trade and impose suf
ficient quotas and tariffs to assure
the maintenance of this country’s
industrial vitality.

The Airship Flight
(BY G. C. BARNHILL)
The flight pilot instructed the
navigator to set our course to
Glenwood, my hometown. This
having been done, the papers
were given to the pilot. To have
the view of the ground from here
at slow speed because of a strong
head wind, is to observe just how
much forest we have in this sec
tion near the coast. The pine is
increasing but other type trees
cover most of the forest. When
we can eliminate the scrub or in
ferior type trees and instead
grow the more valuable type, land
values will increase very much.
Here comes the chef with the
friut juice-, this, with the ship’s
sensativeness, to the air pockets,
gives us the feeling of being on
one of our ocean liners when the
swell of the sea lifts the ship,
to let it down again, up here we
can feel the same as we dip now
and then to be lifted back. We
seem to be following the nine and
four schedule for refreshments
like the ships at sea.
Theer is much difference in the
handling of this type ship com
pared with the airplane and I am
amazed at the pannels of instru
ments throughout the cabin. Os
course all are not for the opera
tion of the ship, many of them
go for equipment that make up
the eyes and ears of the Airship
when a hunt is on.
This crew is most interesting
and they have had to check me out
in the use of the communications
system, using the ear phones be
cause of clear orders and con
versation with this method.
The student pilots take turns
in flying the ship under super
vision of the flight pilot. These
on board have completed their
course except for some flying
hours.
Passing Hazlehurst to our left,
our course is direct route to Glen
wood. The home town shows up
well from the air and the trip
to the school giving the students
a close up, as our pilot comes to
slow speed, so we turn toward
the base.
The strong wind that we battled

all the morning, now comes in
for a helping hand. The pilot
has given orders to cut engines
back to slower speed, in order to
conserve fuel and all the planes
I have ever been on it is rated
as precious fuel.
Seems to be more of a habit
than an understanding but it is
easy to talk of waste in the Army
and the Navy, in fact the defense
machinery. The truth is .they
work many plans to keep going
on the budget of finance for ope
rations and have to be very care
ful.
The return trip has plenty of
speed, so we will have time to
look the coast line over. Jekyll
Island shows a very fine beach,
second to none on the Atlantic
coast and the day will come when
people of Georgia will be very
proud of this piece of property,
because of its inviting recreation
atmosphere and the no trespass
ing signs that now mark so much
of the coast will not be on Jekyll.
We counted deer on some of the
islands, then we went to look for
Gus, the very large alegator who
resides in one of the rivers that
winds it way through the marsh.
Gus was the nearest thing we
could look for like a sub, so we
made several trips up and down
the river looking for him but
finally had to give up.
It is late in the evening and we
fly toward the base, the tower
gives orders to land. The pilot
takes over, moves into position
for decent, as we come in, this
great airship slows sailing to
ward the ground. A trained
ground crew, directed by a ground
officer watches his crew re
spond to orders, they take the
ropes. Our pilot has been re
lieved of any responsibility for
the ship, it having been transfer
red to ground officer when crew
took hold the ropes. This ship
is fastened to the mooring mast
and we are safe in port.
The ladder swings down, we
leave the great airship and stop
to salute, as she swings majes
tically to the mooring mast in
the shadows of an evening twi
light sky, a great emblem of se
curity and defence.

Seward Gillis
It was about three o’clock Mon
day morning, March 31st, that
time when most everybody past
fifty wakes up, reflects about yes
terday and puts finishing touches
for plans for the day. Seward
Gillis had retired as usual in the
Cross Roads community at his
home, this being the old home of
his grandfather David Gillis, a
name representing good citizen
ship. The three o’clock hour moved
in on Seward in a new way, by
calling the time for his body to
give way. following, what we lay
men, call a stroke. Lingering
through another day and at about
two o’clock Tuesday morning the
throbbing of life quietly ceased,
the end had come.
He was sixty four, a member of
Beulah Baptist Church, the fath
er of three sons, Edward, Howard
and Colon, who with his faithful
wife survive him and he meas
ured up to his father and grand
father’s standard of good citizen
ship in the community.
When his country needed men
to defend the flag, he was there
in two World Wars. In World War
One, as he was right up front in
battle many times and during one
of the hard fought sections, that
had engaged his company, a ma
chine gun nest, manned by Ger
man sdldiers, kept killing his
buddies, going far beyond duty,
he crawled and made his way un
observed, coming in on the nest,
killed and silenced the deadly fire
that was such terror to his com
pany.
For this extraordinary deed of
bravery, he was called from the
ranks to appear before General
Pershing, General Foch, and the
Italian General, where he was
honored, by having the very high
medal and certificate, The Croix
De Guerre, for this deed of brav
ery. This entitled him to be en
rolled as member of the highest
military achievement group of
The Republic of France de Ordre i
National de la Legion dHonneur.
General Foch pinned the medal
on Seward.
When the Second World War
was in need of men to defend our
shores, Seward volunteered for
duty with the Marines and spent
six months in the service thus giv
ing him the high honor of service
in two World Wars.
Being his rural carrier, one
thing disturbed me, with this rec
ord of service he was never able
to qualify for any of the benefits
from his government that he so
valiantly defended, until a few
years ago. That machine gun
nest fight left forever with
him scars, that should have quali
fied him for monthly remem
brance, I always thought.
His body now rests by the side
of the road in Beulah Church
Cemetery, placed there by friends
following a funeral service at the

CANCER IN MEN
“I hereby declare April as'
open season for husband-nagging
because April is Cancer Control
Month, and because more men are
now dying of cancer than wom
en.”
I urge the women of Wheeler!
County to nag their husbands into!
the doctor’s office for a health ex- ।
amination, “as a means of pro
longing life and as the best pro
tection against cancer.”
The Cancer Society’s annual
educational and fund - raising
drive, which began April 1, is us
ing the slogan “Fight Cancer with
a Checkup and a Check” for a
third successive year. Wheeler
County must raise $614.00 of the
$30,000,000 the ACS is seeking
to carry on its three fold program i
of education, research and serv
ice.
Surveys show that men as well |
as women are learning that in
vestment in medical prevention ,
can pay a high dividend in the
saving of life. But men are still
not as health-conscious as wom
en. Nor do they live as long.
“Women certainly don’t seem to
have the psychological block to
seeing the doctor that men seem
to have. I suppose it is due to
the fact that women are the natur
al guardians of family health.
“It is interesting that a New
York clinic reported more men;
than women registrants for check-i
ups. coincident with our last, cam
paign. But according to the clin
ic, many of the men were “nagged
i husbands”. What better reason
। for declaring an open season for
nagging?
“Obviously, we want men to i
learn the facts of cancer for them
selves. But most of them are so;
absorbed in economic survival;
they are apt to forget the basis of.
survival—their health. So our
womenfolk can do a life-saving ;
job by studying the facts of can
i cer and passing them on to their
menfolk.
“I mean life-saving literally.;
Tecniques of treating this dis-i
ease have been vastly improved!
in recent years, but they cannot
be used to achieve a cure unless;
the cancer is discovered in time.)
And a regular checkup offers the i
best chance of detecting that can-1
cer in time”.
According to American Cancer
Society statistics, 53 out of 100;
cancer deaths are men; 47 are
women. This has been true since j
1 1949. Two vital factors are re-1
sponsible for the changed ratio in ;
deaths from cancer which used;
to be called “a woman’s disease”.,’
“The cancer- death rate among;
women has declined because thou-;
sands are now being saved who!
would have died a decade ago. At,
the same time the incidence of j
cancer among men has risen toj
an all time high. I refer, of course,

Last year some 24,500 men died

lung cancer deaths among men
numbered about 4,000. There is
food for thought in these figures.
