TW? CtarokM Scout . Thun.. Mail 13. 1961 - Pact 2 SENATOR SAM ERVIN * SAYS * WASHINGTON - The sub committee on Conadoitlooal Rights, racendy heard expert Mttmooy oo the constitutional rights of the men ally 111. The hearing* demonstrated that our hopes were well founded that new light would be cast iqpon a problem that has be come one of the most neg lected areas of the law. My observation as Chairman of this Subcommittee Is that af ter further study has been made of the testimony of em inent psychiatrists, attorneys, and mental hospital stfterln tendents. It Is altogether pos sible, that an enllghted revis ion of (he statutes governing the mentally 111 may be made. Senator A ->xander Wiley, a member ol urn subcommittee, apdy stated at the opening of the hearings:- "The Investi gation pertains direcdy to the lights of a tremendous seg ment of the population. This Indeed is the first time that the Congress of the United States has undertaken to look Into the legal aspects of men tal illness." The hearings brought forth stadsdcs show ing that "over 250,000 people are committed to mental in stitutions each year", and that "over one-half of the hospital beds of the entire country are devoted to the care of die men tally 111." LEGISLATION SUMMARY - President Kennedy and the Congress have accomplished -much during the first eleven weeks of the new Adminis tration. The earlypartofCon gress was concerned with the election of leadership, the fil ling of committee vacancies, and the disposition of rules procedure. Following this the Senate has passed theDepres sed Area bill, the Temporary Unemployment Benefits act. the Sugar Act Extension, the Feed Grains Program, the* OECD Treaty ratification. the Reorganization Act, and the Federal Judgeships hill. All at these Wis have gone to the President except the Fed eral J udgeshlps measure which at the date of this wri ting has been reported by the House C omml nee for consid eration by the House, and the Depressed Areas bill which is In a Senate-House confer ence to Iron out differences In the Senate and House ver sions of the bUJ. The Congress has thus fsr enacted four of th 16 measures for which the President has asked priority action. Five other btUs have been passed in one or the other halls of Congress.

Dewar The king flah were running while we were In Florida and It waa very Interna ting and exciting to go deep sea fishing. 5ur boat went several miles nto the Gulf. The catch In cluded king fish, mackeral ind bonlla , with the king fish averaging from six to 'four seen pounds. Our moat exciting time was vhen having hooked a king 'ish, we discovered a por poise, estimated by our boat captain to weigh approx imately one thousand pounds ind fifteen feet In length, dia ling our flah and apparendy letermined to swallow hook, lne and king fish. I think the 'ollowing description of the jorpolse will be interesting to insert here and then finish he story. "The incredible dolphin porpoise) is dubbed the clown rf the seas with some reason, ie looks like a button with lis roly poly body - twinkling ?yes. prodigious nose and nouth forever frozen In a road grin. The porpoise can x a very rough customer. He snaps his jaws like a crock >dlle. Even sharks and whales vith the single exception of he killer whale, know better han to attack him. Using his jone hard snout as a lethal uttering ram ? a porpoise :an easily kill a shark by "upturing Its vulnerable 11 rer or a whale by breaking ds jaw." Our problem was to get he king fish In the boatqulck y. The most exciting moment ?as with the fish running co yards the boat lor protection, ["he porpoise charged directly owards the side of the boat rith head and his tremendous lody skimming the top of the vater. With no time to use he gof the king fish was rwung into the boat. The por loise came to a halt ten feet rom the boat, with the grin' m his face and as much as o say "Okay, it was lots f fun if I did lose my meal With the porpoise around lie Icing fish left us and we >ere on our way back to port. <iorth Carolina; Mr. Raymond C.

From The Desk Of Stat* Senator 1). fflnnn FofisyiH - 33iio District Last Wednesday was an un usual day In so far as senate action was concerned. Senator Currle of Durham had intro duced a bill offering reap portionment of the Senate, giving two senators each to the counties of Guilford, Mec klenburg, and Forsyth, and cutting districts as to keep the membership of the Senate at fifty. Senator Lindsay War ren of Beaufort, leading the opposition as Charlemagne at old directing his forces, planned his attack perfectly and defeated Currie's reap portionment bill 32 to 16. Senator Frank Banzet, by amendment, completely changed tne Currle bill. This amendment called for a con tinued policy of no more than one senator for each county, but added three addldonal dis tricts which would make the membership of the Senate S3 Senators. The debate and the drama of this occasion sdreed and thrilled packed galleries and lobby*. Every Senator waa In his seat, and at dmes one could hear a pin drop In die Senate Chamber as a Senator would pause during debate. Climaxing this momentous oc casion was Senator Warrens rebuttal, and as the old war horse rose to his feet, every one gave (heir full attention. The Senate and spectators ?like were certainly not dls- < appointed because there were Fireworks aplenty. To say the least, he was eloquent and ruthless, but most effective. Most folks think that (he Ime one spends In the ses ilon Is the amount of wort hat a representative or a lenator does. Actually the session Is Juat a small part ) f a busy day. For Instance, xi Wednesday of last weak. had a conference with high way officials about roads la lie 33rd District, a commit tee meeting of Conservation and Development at ten o'clock: at ten-thirty a com mittee meeting on Wildlife. There I explained a bill that I had introduced dealing with the sale of hunting and flsh ing licenses. At eleven-thirty Senate convened and did not adjourn undl two-thirty, at which time I went to Finance. As vice chairman of thatcom m it.ee we held a public hear ing, and the tobacco people presented their views of tax adon. The heating was in the City Auditorium and attended by over a thousand tobacco fanners and warehousemen. This meedng did not adjourn until four o'clock. I then had to go by the Attorney Gen eral's office and did not leave there until five. Most days from here undl the adjournment of legislature will be as busy as this day, some busier, and part of the time I will not be able to attend committee meetings. Capitol Square at dill time of the year is very beautiful. The azaleas are in full bloom, the dogwoods, the camellias and flowering cherry tree* are prettier now than I have ever seen them. I wish every person in the 33rd district could be In Raleigh now to see their Capitol. I am proud to be a _ North Carolinian.

In theory at least, the amount at work that lied ahand of the 1961 grot^ of legislators. RIDDLE A bit of a riddle being pas sed ' around R sleigh goes something like this: "What la It that moves like s turtle for three-fourths of Its life - end then like s greyhound for the lest fourth? Give iv? Hint: It comes to your cspltal city every 24 months snd hss 170 parts. You guessed It ... snd It Is sched uled to be In its turtle stage i*i til the leaves are full grown. That is about May 10. After that. Brother, get out of the wayl Anything can happen. ENDOFTHEUNE? The word we get here la that State political leaders who hsve not always seen eye-to-eye with him In the psst will go along on the appointment of John Lsrklns of Jones County ss one of the new Federal judges. Put this down: there sre no closer polldcsl friends In the State then Lsrklns snd U. S. Sen. Everett Jordan. So, If Larkins really wants the place. Sen. Jordan is expected to go sll out for him. This would mean the end of the line, politically, for John Davis Larkins, who first csme tp the Leglslsture 25 years ago. He will be 52 on June 8. WHO'S YOUR CONGRESSMAN If you do not like your Con gressman, be padent. You may have snother one before long. Literally thoussnds of North Carolinians will be moved from one Congressional Dis trict to another. We are losing a district. One of our Con gressmen must go.Flrst move in that dlrecdon - the recom mendation - will be made in the Legislature in two weeks. Watch for it. HAPPENS EVERYWHERE Newspapers themselves laugh at the little grelins which cause words to get Into the ' wrong places, etc. But a few dayB ago the official journal of the N. C. Press Assocla- < don, the well edited and in- " ceres ting "Ttie North Caro- i llna Press" had an ardcle about J. P. H us kins, States ville publisher, and his re ceiving the Outstanding Citi zenship Award. But the headline read: "Statesvllle Honors Publisher Hawkins". I FLOWERS FOR THE LIVING * Last Friday, with a lot of the legislators in a hurry to get home for the weekend, the i 72nd birthday of one of the | really big men in the N. C. . General Assembly attracted ' little attention .. of lmpor- ? tance. This will probably be the last session for John Wesley Umstead. He is serving his 13 th term in the Legislature, that's 26 years of It, two terms In the State Senate and 11 In the House. We have heard no indication that John Umstead will not run for re-election, but we note that the years this time weigh | heavily on Ma tfaoul older brother o f the Imb Gov ener William B. Lhnaeeed.

How long, mo, has it been since there has been a wedding re ception in the Mansion?
