of jfiierit and very meaningful to
North Carolina fell before the econ
omy drive in the House the otfier

, ■ Flood Funds
I regret that some funds were
not appropriated for the Federal
Flood Insurance program. East
ern North Carolina, as we all know,
has been hard hit by hurricanes. |
As a result of these natural disas
ters, there arose a great need for
some insurance protection against
. this type of loss. Congress estab
lished the program, the Federal
* Flood Insurance Act of 1956, on a
basis t of state participation. At
immediate stake in the House was
sl4 million dollars requested to get
the program underway. The House,
despite the unceasing efforts of
* Congressmen from the Eastern
North Carolina districts, voted
down this amount.
We regret to give up programs
which would mean so much to us,
but there is a great economy wave
rolling which will cause many good
programs to suffpr as wpll as elim
inating those which are not so wor
-1 thy. If we as a country really
want, to cut the budget we have
to give up some things. The crux
of the problem is to decide which
things to cut. .
* President Late
Perhaps you have been follow
ing. the recent developments of
President Eisenhower to defend
his enormous budget. I do not be- i
; lieve'his support of his budget has
come ,in sufficient time to make
any impact on Congress and the
people. You will recall that this
is the Eisenhower budget and that
he backed away from it at the be-1
ginning long enough to allow the!
whole thing to get out of hand. |
As I wfote some week ago, I feel
that the budget is excessive. 1 1
still do not understand why the'
President sent down the enormops j
'budget unless he personally felt!
that it was a good budget.
Reverting to my statement that j

many good programs suffer whan
the economy drive moves .reckless
ly, I have a further comment ant} it 1
is that the country is crying for (
economy and the Congress will cut
the Eisenhower budget. To tell the
truth, I have not found many of my
Republican colleagues who are will
ing to defend the White House on
this matter.
i New Approach Needed
I feel that the entire approach
to federal spending is shabby.
Perhaps this confusion will serve
to awaken Congress and the people
to the necessity of paying more
attention to the budget proposals
of the White House by creating a
committee to constantly study the
budget. Suffice it to say that there
are many things which we dislike
to give up when Uncle Sam is pay
ing the bill, but Uncle Sam is all
of us, and I fear that we may
break our collective backs by tax
burdens unless rather drastic meas
ures are taken.

Taxation Congress • continued
the 52 Der cent corporate income

ion picketing and violence; Curtis
bill to tighten anti-secondary boy
cott provisions.
At the same time, Congress has
taken no action on union demands
for repeal or emasculation of Taft-
Hartley Act.
Whether McClellan committee
exposure of links between union
bosses and -hoodlums will lead
merely to welfare and pension fund
regulation—or go to heart of ills
of compulsory unionism is undeter
mined.
Antitrust Measures Congress
has before it the report of the At
torney General’s committee for re
vision of the antitrust laws—a re
port by experts—with proposals for
clarification long overdue.
But Congress has ignored it—has
not considered constructive propos
als designed to aid business. In
stead, Congress is considering, a
measure designed to destroy the
good-faith defense in price discrim
ination cases, and another bill to
require pre-merger notification and
thus increase bureaucratic control
over business.
Senator Kefauver (D-Tenn.),
plans to resume investigation of
“economic concentration” in the
next several weeks.
Depressed Areas—ln spite of the
remarkable power of the private
enterprise economy to meet stresses
and strains, a strong New-Fair
Deal movement is under way for
enactment of a depressed area bill.
This measure, starting with fed
eral loans «,! grants of $325,000,
000 could grow ultimately to seri

port of factories in depressed areas
’through forced diversion of gov

(of price.

dragging its feet on legislation
strongly urged by business to

The Joint Committee on Atomic

’ something far beyond ordinary con

no action.
Meantime, New-Fair Deal groups
are demanding legislation to com

lions to build government atomic
power plants.

, Whpn his guests were ready to

perhaps to the village of Beni Na
vim, three miles east of Hebron,
where, through gaps in the hills,
the Dead Sea could be seen, and,
in the distance before them, lay
the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah,
within a half mile of each other.

not learned of tne of the
visit of his divine guests. In vers
es 17-19, God is spoken of as talk
ing to himself about the wisdom
of taking Abraham into his confi
dence and informing him that these
two cities—Sodom and Gomorrah—
were to be destroyed. Deciding
that it was necessary for Abra
ham, who was to be the father of
a great and mighty nation through
which all the nations of the earth
were to be blessed, to understand
God’s dealings with his people, God
told Abraham that, because of
their wickedness, Sodom and Go
morrah were to be destroyed.
While Abraham and the three
men were talking, two of them de
parted and went toward Sodom.
■Jehovah remained to talk furtbei
with Abraham, who was distressed
at learning the fate which was to
Ijefall the inhabitants of the doom
ed cities. Knowing full well the
mercy of God and having full con
fidence in his reasonableness and
justice, Abraham began to plead
that the righteous be not destroyed
with the wicked. He begs God to
save Sodom if fifty righteous ones
are found in the city. God agrees.
Encouraged by this promise of
God, Abraham boldly makes one re
quest after another, that the city
be saved for the sake of forty-fiv *
righteous men, then for forty, thir
-11 twenty or ten. Jehovah prom
ises that he will not destroy the
city for the ten’s sake, and then de
parts from Abraham. The , pre
sumption is that there were not
even ten righteous men in the city
of Sodom, for, if there had been
the city would have been spared.
Through these pleas of Abraham,
two things are clearly shown.
First, the nature of God—He is a
God of mercy as well as of justice.
He would rather pardon than pun-

ish, but if punishment is needed, He .
punishes severely. Second, the !
value and effectiveness of interces
sory is “a prayer
hearing and a prayer-answering
God.” “The effectual fervent pray
er of a righteous man availeth
much.” —James 5:16.
The historical fact of the de
struction of these two cities has
been proven in recent excavations.
Plainly, they were destroyed by
some great conflagration, for ev
erywhere ashes were found. Ar
ticles made of pottery, weapons
.and -jewelry worn by women in the
time of Abraham have been found
on the sites of these two ancient
cities. »
Why did Abraham intercede for
Sodom and Gomorrah?, He knew
their wickedness and knew they
deserved the punishment they re
ceived. He prayed for these peo
ple because he loved his fellow men
and could not bear to think of their
suffering, even though he knew it
was because of their own wrong
doing. With many of us, prayer is
a very perfunctory thing with
Abraham it was not. He meant
every word he uttered and he was
willing to do all he could to have
his prayer answered.

and a gradual conformity to the
