WASHINGTON REPORT
Many people wonder why, with
the brains and industrial "know
how” our nation is supposed to
have, we were so far behind the
Russians in getting a missile,
much less a satellite, off the
ground.
Perhaps part of the answer can
be found in the following experi-.
ence, an incident which comes
close, it seems to me, to illustrat
ing why it is often difficult to get
something accomplished in Wash-1
ington.
I was working up a television
show recently, a filmed program j
on certain aspects of the tobac-'
co situation. Concerned as it
was with tobacco, I thought it
would be nice to have as the
background a photograph that
hangs in my office, a picture of a '
Pitt County tobacco farm.
The photograph is a large one, !
about four feet by five feet, and :
sort of clumsy to handle. A
member of my staff telephoned |
the office of the Superintendent;
of the Senate Office Building and j
asked that somebody collect the
picture and deliver it to the TV j
studio in the basement of the
Capitol, across the street from!
my office.
“Can’t do it,” my office was
told.
“Why?”
“It’s a matter of jurisdiction.'
We can deliver it to the loading
platform of the Senate Office
Building, but our men aren't al
lowed to leave the building. You
call the Service Department.”
A call was made to the Ser-;
vice Depatrment.
It turned out that their men
could pick up the picture at the |
loading platform of the Senate I
Office Building, and would de
liver it to the Capitol—to the
Capitol loading platform, that is.
Somebody else would have to
take it inside and deliver it to the
TV studio in the basement.
Next called, then, was the Su
perintendent’s Office, again, to
see if the picture could be pick
ed up and delivered to the load-

ing platform the first thing the
next morning.
“Call back in the morning,”
was the report. “We don’t take
advance work orders.”
Next day it was raining and my
man had no idea of hauling the
picture out-of-doors and had little
enthusiasm for trying to get all
hauling hands coordinated. He
called the Sergeant at Arms and
related the exchanges that had
gone on before.
"The Senator and I can take it
between ourselves,” he added,
“but we’ve got to bring along
some other items.”
Within a few minutes two men
came and got the picture, placed
it on a dolly, and wheeled it via
the subway to the studio. Just
like that. And the whole opera
tion didn’t take five minutes. I
finally found somebody who did
not try to pass the buck, which
is real rare in Washington.
Library Week
March 16 - 22
March 16-22 has been proclaim
ed as National Library Week. Its
purpose is to impress upon the
public the importance of books
and related materials, which are
available free of charge to every
one through their libraries.
Libraries are administered by
trained persons for which there is
a dire need. In no other profes
sion are there so many attrac
tive openings. All kinds of li
braries need trained personnel—
public; school; college and uni
versity; special, such as medical,
legal, art, music, theological, bus
iness, etc.; and the armed forces
libraries which have openings
both in the United States and
! overseas. Salaries have increas
; ed in recent years and are con
| tinuing to do so. Requirements
for a professional degree in li
! brary science are four years of
1 college plus one year for a pro-

THEY HATE HIM —T he last violence of the bloody riots
which helped depose the nine-year dictatorship of Venezuelan
President Marcos Perez Jimincz centers around the headquar
ters in Caracas of the secret police. At top, an agent (white
shirt) makes a futile break for freedom from the savage mob
which surrounded the headquarters. At bottom, the agent is
struck down and beaten by the demonstrators who vented their
wrath on the most hated symbol of the Jiminez regime. A new
government has promised elections and other tools of freedom ,
for the emancipated countrv.

two years for a Master’s Degree

Libarv Science embraces so
many fields of interest that any
one, man or woman, who is will

interesting, challenging, remun
erative position to which he -is
suited. For further information,

’SB Turkey Breeder
Hens Show Increase
Turkey breeder hens on North
Carolina farms as of January 1
j were estimated at 45,000. or 3.-
000 above the number reported on
! hand as of January 1, 1957, ac-
I cording to the N. C. Crop Rcport-
J ing Service. Os the total esti
' mate, 43,000 were reported to be
heavy breeds, and the remaining
j 2,000 were recorded as light
i breeds. All of the increase was
in the number of heavy breeds.
The change does not necessarily
reflect any trend' as to the in
tentions for raising turkeys in
1958 since some of the hens re
ported are kept to produce eggs
for delivery in other states.

There are relatively few personal decisions a man can
make that command the unanimous approval of his
friends and acquaintances.
And among these is his choice of a Cadillac car.
For the things that inspire a man to Cadillac are
simply too numerous to be overlooked.
Considered from a standpoint of its beauty—or its
Fleetwood luxury—or its performance—or its crafts
manship—or its soundness of investment—Cadillac
occupies a position entirely its own.
At the heart of this great goodness is, of course,
Cadillac’s experience in the creation of quality cars.
