PAGE FOUR t-a Last week the first real battle of the present ses sion occurred in the fight to extend the federal aid to education legislation. The Education and Labor Committee of the House brought to the floor a bill which would 'have extend ed the present school aid legislation for five years. It contained, among other things, provisions setting up advisory boards to local boards of education. It also continued the direct grants to the local school units. Before any consideration by the House on this bill, the committee realized there was little or no chance to pass the five year extension, and so, they presented a substitute bill which reduced the five years to three and removed the requirement for advis ory boards. Shortly there after, Congresswoman Edith Green, considered one of the best friends of educa- Taylor Theater EDENTON. N. C.

Pay your taxes now and save this extra expense and embarrassment. EARL GOODWIN Sheriff of Chowan County Report From Washington By Rep. Walter B. Jones tion in the Congress, intro duced an amended bill which provided for a two year extension and block grants directly to the states for some purposes, which would replace the direct, categorical grants to in dividual school districts, heretofore in effect. After a long debate, including a plea from Speaker McCor mack to support the com mittee bill, the House by a vote of 235 to 184 accepted the amended bill offered by Mrs. Green. All North Carolina Congressmen vot ed for the Green substitute except Congressman Prey er. In reporting the results, most of the press called this a coalition of Southern Democrats and Republic ans. This is far from the truth, for as a matter of fact, the leaders of the Green amendment were, of course, Mrs. Green herself from Oregon, Congressman Quie from Minnesota, Ay res of Ohio and Giaimo of Connecticut. I do not think that par tisan politics should be a part of any bill as import ant as this subject is to the future of the school systems of this nation. I sincerely hope that the Senate will concur in the House version of this au thorization for I believe school administrators and local boards will find that this is an improvement BE FAIR— VOTE 0. F.

Also last week I intro duced a bill which will provide certain genetic standards for seeds being shipped in interstate com merce. At the present time most states have local laws requiring certain purity and standards; however, due to the varying of one state from another, by ex ample, a North Carolina farmer could purchase seeds whi.'i have been produced in South Caro lina, and the South Caro lina standards may not be as strong as the North Ca rolina standards. Hope fully, this bill will pro vide assurances to the in dividual farmer that the seeds which he must pur chase are of uniform qual ity and will ultimately pro duce the desired results. Actually, the bill introduc ed merely amends the pres ent federal law by adding the following: The term “seed cer tifying agency’’ means (A) an agency author ized under the laws of a state, territory or pos session, to officially certify seed and which has standards and pro cedures approved by the secretary to assure the genetic purity and identity of the seed certified . . . To those who may feel that this is a further vest ment of power in a federal m agency, let me assure you that this bill was called to my attention by leaden of the seed producing indus try and has the approval of the American Seed men’s Association. President Nixon sent to the Congress his long awaited message on crime control, ft was unusual in that the main thrust was towards organized crime and profits, their invasion into legitimate enterprises and die evasion of taxes.
