I do not regard this version as favorable to agriculture as the original bill which was vetoed by the President. I do not believe it will substantially alleviate the farmer's plight. The provisions which aid soil conservation, such as reforestation, will be helpful to North Carolina. As I say, the orig inal bill was much better and I regret that the President vetoed it. SQUABBLE The armed forces have been dis cussing their problems in the open much to the consternation of the Secretary of Defense. This squab ble developed hurriedly. It will be Investigated. There is a need for tne facts on what is going on In our defense picture, and I am con fident the country can depend^on hearing a lot more about this situ ation. The Air Inquiry has started a! serious examination of our detent | 1 posture which Is long overdue. OPTIMISM IMPOUNDED The tiff between Secretary Dulles J and Harold Stassen over what the ( Soviets are doing In connection , with their announced reduction in ( ground forces compels me to con clude that Stassen's optimism , seems premature and illogical. He ] is optimistic over virtually noth- ( ing, in my honest opinion. From what I can learn the Soviets are l stepping up their emphasis on the | type of petivity that would be used i in an atomic attack on us should that be the decision of the Reds I If Mr. Stassen honestly feels that ' the Communists are converted to the ways of peace, his recent ex perience at the unsuccessful con ference on arms reduction must have made no impact on his think ing. TROUT HATCHERY The Senate Commerce Commit tee has reported favorably a bill" to establish a trout hatchery on the Davidson River in Plsgah For est. This bill, handled in the House by Representative Shuford. is now subject to action by the Senate. I appeared in behalf of the bill be fore the Senate Committee last week. It is an established fact that North Carolina is dependent to a great degree on a growing tourist business, in addition to providing recreatloirfor our own people. This bill will help provide trout to stock the streams and it will be another atep In the development of our resources. Police Must Pay GREENVILLE. N. C. (AP) ? The cop on the beat must pay for his coffee from now on ? and his milk. Police Chief S. G. Glbhs decreed this after a dairyman reported the freeloading cops had consumed some 60 ouarts of his milk. The coos said they thought they drank with the dairyman's consent. Now. says Glbbs, not even a cud of coffee from any shopkeeper without plunking down the cash.
