“War On Poverty” In 10-State Area

EDITOR’S NOTE: The depressed Appalachian region, first target of President Johnson’s “war on poverty,’’ is Piled with scores of towns struggling against the backwash of high unemployment and the suffering it has brought A United Press International reporter on a 1, 200 mile tour of Appalachia visited many of these once bustling communities and in the following dispatch, the final in a series of three, reports on two of them. By NICHOLAS C. CHRISS United Press International HARLAN, Ky. (UPI) — ‘Bloody Harlan” they called it years ago and, in the decades since, the mining town in southeast Kentucky has neyer lived down this mark of notoriety. In the 1930 s Harlan County was the ground on which the United Mine Workers of America, seeking to organize, met in pitched battle with the Harlan County Coal Operators Association. In Harlan County today, 500 children stay away from school because they have no shoes or clothing. Another 500, ..in the words of the county school superintendent, “are just barely hanging on,” struggling to classes illfed and ill-clothed. In 1942, says James A. Cawood — who has been school superintendent for 30 years — Harlan County had 22,000 child- ’ ren enrolled in schools. Today it has 12,000. The average daily attendance is 10,061 which amounts to 83.8 per cent and this compares to the 90 per cent attendance figures thought adequate for most school systems. Receive Free Meals In two of the valleys in Harlan County some 10,000 coal miners are out of work. Thirty per cent of the school children who take part in the school lunch program, receive free meals because their parents cannot afford to pay for them. “We’re bottled in here behind /These mountains just as we were 100 years ago,” says Cawood. Hie signs of coal mining country are unmistakeable.. In~winter the hills "ahcTmduntains are withered and sere. The creeks* run sluggish, loaded with litter. The houses are -ramshackle, their yards strewn with rust-cankered automobiles. Huge trucks heaped with coal, roar up and down the hills and trains pull coal hoppers up to 95 tons in endless streams. And so it is a pleasant surprise to see Palmer, Tenn., 106 miles southwest of Harlan, for the first time. The neat little town of 500 nestles in southeastern Tennessee. In the spring for miles around the dogwood blossoms cover the mountainsides. But this serene picture belies a bitter struggle that has pitted brother against brother, husband against wife, son against father. Has Turbulent Past Like most coal mining regions, Palmer’s surrounding country has a turbulent past that has included murder and mayhem. Since Dec. 26, 1962, Palmer’s menfolk have been on strike against the Grundy Mining Co. One day recently seven unemployed miners sat, stood and squatted around an iron ‘ stove in the town’s combination filling station and grocery. “We’re fixin’ to stick it out,” s aid

Russian Citizens Want Better Life

By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Along with its other troubles, it is apparent that the Soviet Union leadership is having increasing difficulty placating a population demanding more and more of the better things in life. It puts a special strain on the government which, since the end of the Stalin era has sought popular support, and produces a series of contradictions hard to explain to a people after more than 45 years of Communist promises. The strain and the contradictions are both physical and ideological. Nikita Khrushchev’s 1957 promises that Soviet production of meat and butter per capita would surpass that of the United States by 1960 long since went by the boards and the consumer price on both commodities went up to cut down demand. * While refraining from a return to the rigid controls of the Stalin era, the government has seen fit to warn Soviet artists too eager to experiment with ideas from the West that thenworks must reflect the ideals of socialism.

The men are distrustful and they curse the newsmen who have come into their valley. “Lying bastards,” one of them snapped*. These men receive sls a week in subsistence checks from the United Mine Workers plus food stamps from the U. S. Department of Agriculture. ‘We do all right,” said the farmer of three children. “I got a jacket for 50 cents yesterday at a rummage and I paid 25 cents for a pair of trousers.” “We’ll do anything before we start scabbing,” said another. There is only a few dollars difference between what the company pays in Grundy County. But the company says the union is asking for a scale that is set ( on a nationwide scale, instead of one suited to the local mining limitations. The strikers contend the company’s ultimate purpose is not wages, but an effort to throw the union out. The long strike is but another of the staggering problems of Appalachia where President Johnson has said a “special effort” will be needed to keep many Americans from living on the “outskirts of hope.” Things Picking Up In Harlan the banks pay a 1 per cent interest rate on savings accounts — slim compared to the 3 and 4 per cents paid elsewhere — but dining 1963 the county ranked fifth among Kentucky’s 120 in the purchases of series E and H government savings bonds. Prosperity is not around the corner in Harlan, but things are picking up R. Springer Hoskins, editor of the Harlan Daily Enterprise, wrote: “One answer undoubtedly is that the county isn’t really as bad off as some of us tend to think in our blue moments. If there is a moral to be drawn from incongruity, perhaps it is that there is still enough ‘life’ left in Harlan County that it behooves all of us to work together toward making it a better and more prosperous place in which to live.” Welfare payments during December, 1963, in Harlan County totaled $162,581 including medical and dental care. Each welfare worker as in many areas of Appalachia, had an average load of 200 cases, or about three times that considered adequate. There are 51,107 people living in the county and about 22,000 of them are receiving welfare help of one sort or another.

Ban Jan Bands In the just-concluded U.S.Soviet cultural agreement, the Soviets banned visits by U.S. jazz bands. Spike heels and eye shadow have been okayed for Soviet women but the government newspaper Izvestia warned them against looking to Paris for their styles. “Let your beauty, your clothes and your manners be worthy of the grandeur of our society,” Izvestia exhorted. Other articles in Soviet newspapers attempt to convince the people that things are better than they think. In January, the Moscow Economic Gazette published findings of a survey which it said covered 100 families for an 11year period ending in 1961. Family income, it said, had jumped from $l7B to $232 a month. Taking the families from workers’ households in the industrial cities of Gorky, Ivanovo and Moscow, the article said that in 1951 none had washing machines, television sets or refrigerators. But by 1961, 42, had television sets, 10 had refrigerators and 5 had washing machines. — Living Space Limited Housing space had increased but still was limited to one large room or two small rooms for a family of tour, exclusive of communal bath and kitchen. To combat increasing grumbling over higher living costs, the survey laid heavy stress on the state’s contribution to lowrent housing and to government health services and education. Faced with obvious failures, both in industry and agriculture, with mounting discontent among the Soviet peoples and with a widening split in international communism, the government is taking strenuous measures and contemplating others. The virgin lands program which ploughed up millions of acres and not only failed to produce the huge increase in grain expected but led to vast new dust bowls instead, apparently is to be abandoned. A huge chemical industry is to be built to fertilize traditional granaries of Russia. In a most un-Marxrpanlike manner, unprofitable farm collectives may be broken up and returned to private interprise. At least one eminent Soviet economist even has suggested that consumer goods be given emphasis over heavy industry. Farmers Will get greater rewards. But for the Soviet consumer, the rewards are still a long way off. o —~( Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee o 0 Q. Is it proper to use the abbreviations — Chas., Jas., Robt., or Wm. — when addressing envelopes or in the writing of salutations to letters? A. Abbreviated names are never proper ,in salutations. But if a man usually abbreviates his name in his signature, you may follow suit in addressing your envelope to him. Q. If I am in a group of persons and someone whom I do not know joins us, should I introduce myself to him or should I ask someone else in the group to introduce us? A. Neither is necessary. If you happen to have somthing to say to the newcomer, speak to him, just as if he had been introduced to you. Q. Would it be proper for a girl who has been working in an office to her employer to her wedding? ' A. This would depend upon her relationship with him. If it’s always been strictly business, she should not invite him. If, however, they are good friends and he has shown an interest in her wedding plans, she may properly invite him.

Religious Belief 9 No Bar To Serve WASHINGTON (UPD—A Selective Service spokesman said today a man could not qualify for draft exemption as a conscientious objector merely by claiming membership in a religious body opposed to violence. He made the statement when asked about reports that heavyweight boxing champion Cassius Clay might try to avoid military service on the ground that he is a member of the Black Muslim sect. The spokesman said that Selective Service did not have any “blanket policy” toward Black Muslims, or members of any other religious group. “All applications for conscientious objector classification are handled on an individual basis, just like applications for occupation deferment,” he said. Membership Not Enough "Membership in a religious body which teaches pacifistic views is one piece of evidence which a man might submit to help establish his claim to be a conscientious objector. But it is not enough by itself. “Nor is it necessary to be a member of any church to make the claim. The law states only that the objection must be based on *religious training and belief than on political or philosophical views, or personal moral codes.” The spokesman pointed out that there might be bona fide conscientious objectors in any religious group, and, converseUseful Aprons When discarding old plastic shower curtains, use the good material from the top (which usually has had very little use) to make kitchen aprons, bibs for children, and shower caps. Pinking shears to cut the edges will add attractiveness.

ly, some members of traditionally pacifist groups do not oppose military service. Unaware Os Teat Case He said he was not aware at any * test case’ involving the position of the Black Muslims toward military service. “Im sure the question ’must have come up before local draft boards a number of times,’ he said, "but Ive never heard of its reaching national headquarters." The draft official said it was unlikely that Selective Service boards would question the Black Muslims’ status as a religious body, even though Islamic scholars have challenged the sects right to use the name and symbols of the historic religion founded by the Prophet Moha’mmed in the 6th century.
