Os the 397 votes cast, 299 opposed the bone, issue and 98 voted favor ably.

Come in and tell me a couple.” THE CHOWAN HERALD/EDENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY/ AUGUST 4, 1966. Washington report by Rep. Walter B. Jones This past week ending July !9, the House put in a full veek in' discussion of the Civil Rights of 19G6. The most important vote last week was the one on Monday, July 25, when the touse adopted by 200 to 180, he rule under which this ill would be considered. If his motion had failed, this ill would not have been •onsidered and would have ieen referred back to the ‘ommittee on the Judiciary, 'his close vote indicated the controversy surrounding this oill. Incidentally, the entire North Carolina delegation voted no the passage of this ule. Many of us feel that the title “Civil Rights Bill” is grossly misleading, for after a careful analysis of what his bill does, some of us feel hat it transcends Civil Rights and directly invades the constitutional rightsof all citizens regardless of race or creed. For an example. Title I of he bill revises the selection of juries in the Federal Courts. It provides that, the iresent selection of Federal uries wi’Tbe completely dis regarded and that one per ent of the population of ach Federal Judicial District oust be on the jury list. It further states that each Serson selected for the jury ist. must fill out a rather yengthy form which will be etained b yihe jury com nissiotier of that District, t eliminates one who can rot read or write. The ques ion was asked, and not fully mswered, as to how anyone vho cannot read or write ould complete the form. The majqrity of the Chief federal Judges througbou* he United States have reg -tered their opposition to his section of the bill now efore Congress. They con tend that, it wßlrtituse s reat amount of. work and vill add only to confusion nd will not improve the luality of justice. The debate on this section if the Civil RigfitsT-bitl lasted he entire week. "It was only late Friday afternoon, July , !9, that the first test vote vas held. In this connection, Rep. Basil Whitener of North Carolina offered an amend ment which would submit TI %--J the jury section of 'he'bill to the American Judicial Council and the American Bar Association for their study for a period of me year as to the merits or the necessity of this legisla tion. On a teller vote, the amendment was defeated by 116-51. Along with the other North Carolina members .present, I voted in support of this amendment. As of the date of this col umn the House is still de bating the various sections of H. R. 14765. In recent days, I have .again had to protest the HEW regarding the high handed manner in which they are treating many of our local hospitals. Specifically, I became con cerned with the Martin County General Hospital, whose funds for Medicare patients had not been ap proved. I think I can best describe this matter by re producing in this column an m LOOK LADIES! Lovable’s® "br m new” holds its shape... stays fresh as new E& even alter 40 washings!

He stated that he had been advised on June 30 that a complaint was lodged against Martin General. Wnen the Congressman asked who had registered the complaint, he was told that the com plaint was not considered valid and, therefore, had been dismissed. On July 8. Martin General was advised that the complaint had been withdrawn and that approval was being considered. In answer to the question as to why the approval had not been granted as of this date, the reason given was that a team of HEW inspectors would have to be sent to Martin County to evaluate the hospital. Congressman Jones insisted that this be done at once in order th.T the hospital officials might know whether or not they were approved. He was as sured that this would be done within the next few days. ~ • “Jones! protested vigorous ly to the HEW officials a? 5-plow power FORD Commander 6000 • Powerful! six-cylinder engine—Available with dieeel, gas, LPG, e Four-wheel^ability—Heavy-duty front axle, short wheel base and turning radius. e Power-shift Select-O-Speed transmission is standard, e Dual ratio PTO— Standard PTO speed at either of two .engine speeds. e Powr-Stor hydraulics—Fast, uniform action at all operat ing engine speeds. e Comfortable and convenient—Big, adjustable, foam covered contour seat—two-position steering wheel—power j steering—power disc brakes—roomy platform.
