A SENATOR I m LENNON M -ggißsgft RE PORTS tst BVflB Washington—we are certainly liv i ng in an era of fast-moving events i suppose that the people of all ages i nave felt the same way about this, bu ; recent events have focused attention to I what is happening. i THE BOMB I While taxation, investigation and 1 debate have taken the front pages,,! there has been a development which 1 humanity cannot afford to overlook. That is the emergence of the hydro gen bomb. Thb recent Bikini explos ion, according to the press reports, was so dreadful that most of us are ' incapable of thinking of how destruc- 1 tive the hydrogen bomb really is. This 1 proves how important it is for us to get about the business of bringing peace on this earth by following the i 1 Christian precepts. I hope and pray J that this danger of destruction will; bring a sobering pause to the world: and that atheistic communism will seel clearly that mankind now has the 1 power with which to wipe himself from the face of the earth. I simply cannot understand how the commun ists can continue to deny Almighty God in the cold light of reality in the age of the hydrogen bomb. INVESTIGATION A great many Senators have been, disturbed at the way things have been going lately with respect to the charg es and counter-charges in the Army-: 1 Cohn affair. As this is written, it is difficult to predict what the outcome will be as the hearings have not start ed. I felt strongly that the hearings should have been conducted by the Armed Services Committee of the Senate instead of the Sub-Committee of Government Operations. I believe that the people of our country have a right to know all of the facts about this matter. It is regrettable to me that we have to spend so much time trying to keep up with such things as this when I believe we should be try ing to reduce taxes, cut out the exces sive foreign economic spending and finding ways to bolster our economy. CONGRESSIONAL BANQUET I was unable to attend the annual Congressional Banquet honoring the North Carolina delegation in Congress ’t Saturday night in Washington due . speaking engagement at Sanford y eforc the N. C. Federation of Post Office Clerks. The banquet brought a large number of Tar Heels to the Capitol. TAXATION The House passed the President’s tax legislation, but the move to cut individual income taxes almost pass ed. I hope we can provide the cuts in the Senate. I have told you that I plan to support the Georgs tax pro posal. I have not changed my mind. Along with the tax cuts, I Want to see a reduction in government spending to take up the slack. SENATE FACTS The present Senate Chamber was begun in 1851, and occupied by the Senate on January 4, 1859.
