THURSDAY, MAY 21, 1953 THE TRANSYLVANIA TIMES, BREVARD, NORTH CAROLINA PAGE THREl WASHINGTON — Last week I mentioned a complicated effort by certain groups here to take textile business away from the South and return it to the New England states. The fight over that scheme continued during the past few days. The scheme can be accomplish- «d only at the expense of the people who earn their living in our textile mills in the South. The idea is to give a system of priorities or preferences to man- ^acturing plants and workers in areas outside of the South. Senators Maybank and John ston, of South Carolina, and Sen ator Hoey and 1 have protested these efforts to cripple the tex tile industry in our states. And in doing so, we have found that those who propose this scheme apparently know very little about Jhow our textile plants operate. Theoretically, these “plan ners'^ would take government textile contracts away from the South and place them with plants dn New England, where there is unemployment—or, as they put it, labor surplus.” They call this procedure “ne- :gotiated contracts.” By that, they 'mean, contracts that have not Ibeen awarded on the basis of fcwtnpetitive bids, as government contracts are supposed to be awarded. These so-called nego tiated contracts permit the bu reaucrats to pay more for items produced in New England than 4hey would have to pay for the ■same items manufactured in the South. At a hearing last week, I ask- €d one of the officials if he knew liow the three shifts in a textile mill are worked. He admitted he did not. Yet he was attempting to make rules and regulations that ^top Taking Harsh Drugs for Constipation Cm! Chronic Dodnf! Regain Normal Begulaiity Thb All-Vegetable Way!

CaldweU St. Dial 3-1411 would have cost our third-shift workers their jobs.. I pointed out that if the third shift in our North Carolina mills could not be used, then that of course would mean unemploy ment as far as our third-shift workers are concerned. I con tended that it is just as impor tant not to interfere with the right of North Carolina workers to make a living as it is to try to help laborers in other sections of the country. This fight will continue, and we are determined to prevent an injustice to our section of the country. I think we can prevent it. 1 will keep the textile work ers of North Carolina advised. WISE DECISION The five-week filibuster has end ed and the senate has voted deci sively (56-35) to eliminate the fed eral grab of the states’ tidelands, The issue was confused from the very first by those who wish to see the federal government in posses sion and full control of all of the rights of the people. Those conducting the filibuster tried to contend that the so-called Tidelands bill was a “give-away” program of the nation’s resources. This, of course, was not true in any sense of the word. The basic argument involved has been going on since our govern ment was founded. That is: Shall we follow the principle of states’ rights as far as possible, or shall we give to the federal government and its bureaucrats in Washington the right to control the everyday lives of our people. The other day one of my friends (who had not read the bill and had not followed the debate too close ly) indicated to me that he had been impressed by the often-repeat ed and false charges that the Tide- lands bill was a “give-away.” But when I gave him a simple illustra tion of the basic issue, he immedi ately exclaimed that he had not un derstood the matter. I mentioned to him the fishing piers in North Carolina, built out over the ocean—beyond the low- water mark. Under the bill passed by the senate last week, the state owns and controls the land below the low-water mark. But if we had listened to those who conducted the filibuster, the federal government would have owned that land, and any person wishing to build such a pier would have been required to go through the federal red tape to get permis sion to do so. By the same token, fishing rights were involved, as well as many other examples. Many North Carolinians do not realize that the North Carolina leg islature requested the congress to reaffirm the states’ rights and i ership of these lands—and that our own -'attorney general, Harry Mc- Mullan, took ati active part in es tablishing the judicial support for the legislation. I am certain that this action by the congress was in the best inter est of North Carolina. It may be that one of these days we shall find oil oh the coast of our state. If and w'hen that happens, our schools, hospitals and other institutions will not have to worry about money But, in any event, I think that congress has not only acted wisely, but has also been honest with the states whose lands had been grab bed by the federal government in an attempt to centralize still more power in Washington.

Southern Offering New Schedule From New York-Asheville The Southern Railway system is now offering service between Ashe ville and New York on two stream lined, deluxe sleeping cars with 10 roomettes and six double bedrooms each. According to O’Connor Wilson, assistant general passenger agent of the Southern, the new schedule affords the quickest and most com fortable trip from New York to Asheville that the Southern Rail way has ever been able to offer. The cars leave New York at 4:25 p. m., arriving in Asheville at 8:55 a. m., instead of the old schedule which left New York at 1:45 p. m. and arrived in Asheville at 8:55 a. m., which is two hours and forty minutes difference. The return train leaves Asheville at 3:45 p. m. arriving in New York at 8:55 a. m. There is a vast difference b^ tween a beautiful singer and one wbo can sing beiautifully.
